Epilogue 1
Five was known for many things.
Five was known as one of the strongest Garde, maybe other Garde like Nine had more Legacies than him, but even without his last Legacy—the manipulating energy one—he could beat Nine with his wits alone.
Five was known as a cold person, aloof in most situation but would help if needed. ( Eight, for all of his amiableness, couldn't quite get through Five's wall. )
Five always felt distant and untouchable by the others. Whenever they worked together with him, he always did it with a distant detachment and an inexplicable nostalgia in his eyes.
Five was known as the best strategic planner in the team. He didn't think so though, he always said his mentor was better than him, Irvine was the best strategic planner anyway.
Five was known to hate the Mogadorians with passion. The other Gardes did to, but no one hate them as much as him. He said they killed his mentor.
Five always kept a handgun with him, it looked battered and there's even a crust of blood there. When the others gave him a new one, he accepted it but still kept the handgun anyway.
Five was the second oldest in the group, but he felt like he was the oldest one anyway, when they first met him, his eyes were hollow that had a haunted look in it, like someone who had seen too much. Gradually it became detached instead—but the haunted look never really got away.
The first time they met, Five came bloodied and battered. His clothes were in tatters and he carried his Chest with him via telekinesis. He came alone.
Five was known to be the one that had ever decimated the Mogadorian army alone. They were trailed and surrounded, the others had prepared to fight. Five strode to the front alone and blue energies swirled around him. The look in his eyes were scary, it was like he was programmed to kill. The Mogadorian army didn't stand a chance.
The others once were talking to each other about when they awakened their Legacies. Four said he awaken Lumen in school. Five said he just did. When they said Legacies were usually developed under some pressure and that his main Legacy—the energy one—was very powerful, they joked that it was worth it to get such a Legacy. He told them it was better if he didn't have the Legacy at all if that's the price. The rest of the Nines went silent after that.
Five had been through a lot of things.
He had seen his Cepan died.
He had knew how it felt to live on the streets.
He knew of hunger.
He knew of companionship, when he first met Irvine and had taken to go with her.
He had known fighting for a long time, against Mogadorians and normal people alike during his time with Irvine.
He knew of losing someone he loved. Someone who had been with him for a long time and died for him.
He knew rage, when everything went red and he went into what he dubbed—killing mode.
He had known torture—once after Irvine died and there were no one to correct and supervise - his plans again, he was going to search for his Chest. It was in the Mogadorian base. He went in anyway. Brute force couldn't win the fight this time, his last Legacy couldn't even help him since it looked like he lacked a source to burn, so to say. It was a long time before he managed to get out.
Five had been through a lot of things, but he just kept walking in the end.
