Now I am seven years old.
Two weeks after I made my sword, something unusual happened at the workshop.
It was a Saturday, when I went to the workplace.
Early in the morning I went to work, and first everything was fine until the break period around 12. During that time I went out for a bit, trying to buy lunch at the closest store but they were closed.
I had crossed the borders that separated the towns in between each other. I
had gone to a different town entirely, crossing from the York Cite to New Royal. A different town after the York Cite. And right now I had to go back to the workplace.
But on my way something unusual happened.
4 girls dressed in expensive clothing, came up to me. For me the words I would use to describe them was "Charmingly Beautiful".
One had silver girl hair, with gentle blue eyes, a smooth skin and an expressive expression. While one also had beautiful purple hair, smooth skin and the same eye colour as her hair. The other girl with them had blond hair, with green eyes and a soft voice that speaks of authority. The last woman behind them was older than the first three but still somehow beautiful. She was in her 19's if I had to guess, she was tall, confident and composed.
They approached me, and said:
Hey, can we ask you some questions, the woman with them asked.
Ah, what do you mean, I replied.
You must answer truthfully, the girl with purple asked, it was almost a scream at me.
Have you seen any girl around here, one of them asked.
Can I get some details of the person you are searching for, I asked them back.
She has the same hair colour as the girl behind me here, and she has a great power within her eyes. We think enemies of the nation kidnapped her.
You have to answer truthfully, the girl with purple shouted this time.
I am sorry but I have seen anyone with that description but she has a special eye ability, I wouldn't just investigate other kingdoms. Citizens here also have the capabilities of pulling such a feat. I replied truthfully as I could.
Well that is too bad, the silver girl replied.
Hey, Celia: use search magic around the area, search if you see any magic react to the search, this was the order from the woman.
She closed her eyes, and chanted some very odd words, something like "Search Magic Essence reveal to me where other magic can be found"
Then suddenly a bright light enveloped us, strange symbols of writing covered us.It was strange yet very comforting. At the time I had used my pure eyes to scan the strange magic surrounding me. It came as real magic/ enchantment magic.
(The magic she used was very different from one Rial uses. Rial doesn't chant the words or the attack, he just imagines it and reforms it with magic.)
After we were done the strange glow disappeared from us.
What was that, I asked.
Oh, nothing just search magic that covers about 30 m of distance. But I only got us and hey can you use magic.
No, I can arts of magic but I cannot use magic. I answered.
She stared at me confused.
Well are you not going to search for her relative, I assume.
Then they left.
I walked back to the workshop but something had happened.
As I walked in the shop, I sensed faints of blood in the air. And as I get closer to the shop, the stronger the scent gets. I then walked in the shop maybe they were killing an animal which I wasn't informed about.
But when I opened the door, a pool of blood, was awaiting for me.
All the people in the workshop had been killed, including the master. Paul's head was on the corner bleeding as if his whole organs had been sliced into pieces. And in the corner a human sized big was laid neatly.
After I finished searching of my surroundings, a sharp knife came at me at full speed. But lucky I managed to evade the attack, then pulled back his hand and tried to slice my face. But I ducked under the knife and froze his feet his ice astral arts.
He broke free using magic of his own, and chanted I assume is a body strength boost. He moved at a super human speed, trying to catch me off guard but pulled out my sword and blocked him. He tried to break the sword but I deflected it, then I made an ice storm, which I threw at him. I fell from the distance and was knocked out by my illusions.
Then after the battle was done a strange being appeared to me.
It was a beautiful girl with silver hair and soft features, it was like a dream but still felt too real for it to be a dream. Then she hugged me and said:
Open eyes Rial, choose and crave your own destiny.
Nobody can decide that for you, only you can, trust in your own ways and I will be with you forever.
Bye, stay strong and safe for me. Then she disappeared.
Suddenly I was brought back to the planet,
Ahh, hmm, ahh.
A kicking sound could be heard.
It came from the bag I saw earlier, I approached it and opened it.
She seems familiar, wait it's; she the one Celia and others were looking for.
Then she said,
Please take me to the castle.
Huh.
Then she said again, please take me to the castle.
Okay, but first do not look forward.
(Rial was afraid she could faint or worse die from seeing such murder in one room).
Yeah sure.
Then she closed her eyes and walked outside.
