Fate

Fate

The week passes and we all received the storage seals and they are linked to a storage area in our own homes I look at my own sword It cracked at the tip and is brittle due to the fight but is still useable until I can receive a

new one I look toward the mirror and think how much has changed staring at the seal and the scar running down my side I feel a slight phantom pain in my side and look at the scar its been 8 years hasn’t it running my fingers over the scar and I look forward and hear a knock on my door " coming" I say as I put my shirt on and answer the door its felix and elicia. "Good evening" they say I motion them in and close the door behind them and I get the pot on the stove and start to make coffee I sit down placing the coffee onto the table sitting across from them and say what brings you guys here? they pause momentarily taking a drink of there coffee and Felix says

"Its about Elizabeth Im worried that we cant trust her I am afraid that we could possibly fail because of her in the cave tomorrow. what do you know about her aside from what was said in the hospital?" "well aside from what was said she was taken and held by the demons for the last 3 years in the infernal palace of the first layer of hell and that before that she doesn’t remember much of anything aside from her parents being killed by the 3rd layers commander and that she was found and taken in as a prospective demon leader by agares but she rebelled and escaped and had been on the run for a while until he found her and that was when I was in the training forest practicing with the new sword I say glancing over to it and returning to the conversation aside from that I know she’s 17 and that she has a innate talent for knowing when demons are near by but aside from that I don’t know much aside from that" I say looking at them both elicia says " I don’t believe she will intentionally cause any ill will towards us but if agares comes back we may be in trouble we cant risk being dragged down with the opportunity to dispatch of the demon causing so much pain on the first layer if we can defeat him we can claim the first layer as our own and use it as a line of defense against the other layers and provide a force to counter the mass amounts of demons coming from the layer but it isn’t as simple as that to control the first layer we need to completely destroy the layers stronghold to keep agares from reforming after being defeated unless we want to incur the wrath of a sleeping vermillion beneath the strongholds citadel." I look at her and say " you are correct but I do hope you have faith in your team even though we haven’t had much time to battle I do wish that you could understand the need for us to perform well and improve if we can do this we may be able to clear the 9 layers and eradicate the demons entirely but that is only a dream which may one day realize given the circumstance’s we can put an end to this war for good and regain peace we’ve all since longed for though our families may have passed since we began our journeys we can still forge a path for the new generations to come even if it may be 100 200 or even 300 years into the future we’ve been together for the last 10 years since our home was lost on the outer layers of the realm but we may once again reclaim those lands in the future after we deal with this cave we are esters and we may not rest until we save those who need us to and we continue forward and bring a balance that has long since been lost." they look at me and nod they’re heads and say you are correct we need to be smart in our decisions but we can win if we all try our best well we shall be taking our leave we will see you tomorrow don’t be late" she says mocking me in a laughing tone to which I respond with "remember who was late when we were supposed to meet the last time" I say laughing closing the door behind them and placing the sword into the storage area having a thought as I try to place my hand in the storage area my arm immediately seizing in pain as if its on fire and being crushed by space itself I pull my hand out and immediately see its covered in blood and cut as if it was collapsing on itself and I grab some bandages and begin to wrap my hand and treat the wound. maybe someday I can figure out how to move through the space. oh well it doesn’t really matter much right now. I suppose now all that’s left is to get some sleep before morning when we leave.
