Hearing that, his eyes snapped wide open.
He felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity. His breaths quickened, he tried his best to hold on to the sudden sense of familiarity in hopes he may regain his memories.
A moment passed..
And then another.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, no matter how much he tried, he could not remember.
It couldn't be helped and just like that, he resigned. It was a hopeless situation, but despairing over it would be pointless. Luckily for him, there was someone who might help.
Giving out a resigned sigh, he eyed the room once more.
The room had gone silent.
he unclenched the fists he had unknowingly been clenching.
Lifting his chin, He spoke, and as he spoke, the pain rose from the bottom of his throat once more, however by now he had gotten used to it, and had an idea of how much he could speak before coughing out blood.
"Lady Gaia, For a moment, I felt as though I knew who those [Humanity] but I could not recall- " stopping while the pain is more bearable.
In just a second or two, the rising pain had subsided below, and he continued his question.
"I could not recall anything, and at the same time, I am confused, i woke up in this strange place, with no recollection of my identity-"
Uckkk.
The metallic tang of blood spread in his mouth once more.
Damn it, while the pain is more bearable than the first time, it still hurts a lot. How am I supposed to talk like this?, massaging his throat he waited for a reply.
A moment passed, then two.
Hm? Lady Gaia sure takes her time. Then a feminine voice resounded once more.
[ you are a rather unusual one, much different, from your predecessor… ]
"Predecessor?-"
However, before they could question, they are interrupted by the monotone voice.
[ Regardless, It is not strange that you do not know about the Long departed masters of this world. Information about them has long been lost, in the long span of time… ]
Hmm, so [ Humanity ] refers to the previous masters of this world? So they are akin to divine figures, but for some reason, that doesn't sound very accurate, and The voice also mentioned long departed masters.. Are they dead?
Instead of getting answers I am getting more questions. But I have a feeling.
"Lady Gaia, you say that the information is lost, but I feel that you know-"
[ … ]
[ The Moon Quite Distant Today…]
Eh? Moon? What does the moon have to do with this?
[ Information Regarding Humanity is Scarce, I cannot help you at the moment, It will take some time… ]
Sigh, is my luck that bad?, I only ended up with more questions, though this is still better than nothing.
"I appreciate Lady Gaia's, may I ask for the Lady's help in uncovering my identity?""
[ Identity? ]
The corner of his mouth twitched, he closed his eyes and bowed slightly.
"As the lady may recall, I mentioned my difficulty of recalling my identity–"
[ Oh… ]
Sweat trickled down the side of his head.
Don't tell me she has short term amnesia.
