章 7: The Arrival.
The Lost Crown
Chapter 6:
"You can only see well with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes ..."
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
- Boy, it's about hearing my name now ...
When I opened my eyes, I was in the dragon world again, and he was trying to tell me something.
"My name is Dormin," said the ancient dragon within Raynard.
- Dormin? So this is your name ... - I said a little bewildered.
- Yes boy, now I will give you a warning. Do not use my power all the time, you are not yet ready to enjoy it as much as you want - explained Dormin puffing fire.
- Your power? So that fire I always knew was your fruit? - I asked a little scared.
- Yes kid, now that I warned you be careful, there could be consequences - said Dormin getting up and flying away far into that world of burning rocks.
Before I could ask anything, he flew away and I woke up with Silvia calling me.
- Big brother, I'm hungry.
- Then ... Okay, I'll prepare something for us - I said with a strong headache.
So I went to the kitchen to prepare our breakfast, I baked some bread for myself, and gave her what she liked best, cereal with milk, for some reason Silvia ate our food perfectly without any problem, unlike her sisters who survived on humans, if one day Silvia finds out that I killed her family, she would never forgive me...
Today the day dawned very cloudy, well... At Mercenarie's End since we can go whenever we want, I think it's better to take a break today and spend more time today with Silvia, after preparing our coffee we were playing all the time, so I sat at couch to make some plans for today, go buy some things.
- Mané, it looks like the guy inside you is well dressed today - said the sword that was leaning against the wall beside me.
- So you decided to talk?
- I speak when I want, in fact only you can hear me.
- Only I can?
- Yes, only people of your bloodline can hear me.
- So you met my real parents?
- Of course you idiot, He was a formidable guy, but there was an accident and he had to save you.
- What was his name? Did you know my mother?
My heart sped up when I finally got to know my parents, this sword knew about my real parents. I was so curious, I always wanted to know what kind of people they were.
- Yes, I met the two, Beretrix Scarlet Von Dragon and Raynard III Lionheart.
- Wow! So I have my father's name, my mother who took care of me didn't want to take my family's name, why? - I asked myself thinking.
- Raynard, his name, you don't know the power he has and not his whole name.
- Power? Do I have another name?
- Raynard IV Dragon Lionheart, your name carries immense power, you don't even know, where do you think the little guy inside you came from?
- I have no idea, but by the name it came from my mother, am I right?
- Yes, your mother's lineage is passed down through generations the power of the dragon that dwells in you.
So do you mean that her power was passed on to me? I understood what the sword meant, but I don't understand why my mother died, was it because of that? I think I better ask.
- Sword, how did my mother die?
- She died in childbirth, so you wouldn't die, she had to transfer her power to you, your parents' kingdom was being invaded, and your father sacrificed himself fighting the invaders after he put you in a boat with the commander of his army, he was a true hero.
It was a shock for me, to hear that my parents died to defend me, my mother died giving birth to me, so I am to blame for her death, I felt so low that nothing at that moment would make me change.
- Mané, don't be depressed, they knew it would happen if you were born, and they wanted to have you the same way, they decided to love you, so don't take it hard on yourself.
- It's okay ... My parents were strong people, so I have to be strong like them - I said while wiping my face.
- I remember I died, how am I alive now?
- Your mother transferred her soul to you during childbirth, when you died your mother died in your place. She was a very smart person, you know?
- Ah ... I wish I had met her.
- You were later reborn as a right aspect?
- Yes...
- So there's no time, you now have people to protect, you were protected 18 years ago, now it's your turn to protect people.
Upon hearing these words, I thought of the people who are by my side, and especially Silvia, I can't let it shake me, if they protected me then I am very grateful to them.
- How were my parents?
After that I asked him a lot of questions about how they were, and how they talked and etc...
- His mother had long red hair, she was a very strong warrior, and her fire powers melted everything in front of her, she was a beautiful woman, and her father, he was very brave, everyone knew him by his strong personality.
- Ah ... So it must be that they were very nice people.
Now I understand where my confidence and spirit comes from, I sat on the couch, I was lost in my thoughts, well, that was a huge revelation, but I can't live on the past, go ahead, I'll ask Silvia if she want to go with me to buy something.
- Silvia, I thought of going to buy some things, and the food is also running out, that you can go with me? - I said in a kind of embarrassed way.
- Ebaaa, go shopping, I want to go! - She said all happy and with a big smile on her face.
Well... it stopped raining and it just got cloudy, so for me it was great, I put on a more casual outfit and left my equipment at home, I don't believe that something catastrophic would happen in the capital, we went to the market to buy food, and also to buy vegetables for preparing a soup, there were so many people borrowed that Silvia had to go hand in hand with me, I was thinking of having a snack on the street, and there was a good place to go to eat.
- Silvia, do you want to eat somewhere today with me? - I asked while walking with her with the bag full of purchases.
- Yes big brother, where are we going to eat?
- There's a place I really like to go, come on.
So we went to "Mars Food" The food in this place is totally different from all the land, and it's really very good, they have a dish that I love called Shak, it's like a pasta with eggs but the egg will dissolve in the dough and sticking to the threads of the pasta, it is very delicious, so the old man who always serves me saw me come in and soon came at me.
- Hi young man, will you order the same as always? Asked the young man.
- Yes, but today I want two bowls.
Then you looked at Silvia and asked: - Is it your daughter?
- No, she's my sister.
- Welcome "Raynardzinha" - said the old man smiling with his eyes closed.
- Yes! Thank you - replied Silvia shaking her head.
We sat at the table and were served, so I had an idea.
- Whoever finishes first will win a gift.
- Gift? But I don't have the money to give you a gift, "she replied, a little embarrassed.
- Don't worry, I give myself a gift hehe.
So she accepted my bet, but before I knew it, she ate up to the bowl and choked, I stared at her and she choked.
"Spit, spit, go, go," I said as I squeezed it to get the bowl out.
- "Buaa" - Silvia put the bowl out.
Everyone looked at us as if we were weird, but maybe we were, we thank you for the food and we left there laughing, so as promised I bought a gift for Silvia, a beautiful white dress sewn by hand, embroidered with purple flowers.
- Here, I ordered it for you, so, did you like it?
I saw Silvia's eyes shine like never before, she started to cry and gave me a long hug.
- Big brother, I love you, these are the best days of my life, when I'm with you - he said while hugging me crying.
- I'm glad to hear that, I love you too Silvia.
So we went home, because it was starting to rain a lot again, when we got home she went to test her dress, when I saw her with her little dress, she was so beautiful - "Toc Toc Toc" - I hear knocking on my door.
- I'm on my way, - I replied.
When I opened the door, I came across Arthuro, so I let him in, he seemed to be very tense, I have no idea why, so I ordered him to sit down.
- Arthuro, why are you like this? Did something happen?
- Well ... I really need to leave, so I came to say goodbye to you, you don't have to come with me, I have to solve a problem.
This bastard did not disguise at any time, from a distance I noticed his tension and the way he was depressed, but since he really needs to solve his problem, I will not stop him, after he said that he left without saying anything else, I I was worried, but since he came here personally to tell me that, I saw that it was really important and I didn't want to interfere in his choice, I couldn't do anything but listen.
Mercenarie's End...
- Arthuro ... I should have stopped him ... - Sheyla said depressed sitting on the bench in the hall - Now that idiot goes to those guys who look like a bunch of monsters - said shortly after having a glass of drink.
Sheyla certainly didn't know what would happen if Arthuro went there, Arthuro's parting words were: - Don't be mad at me Sheyla, I won't die until I win her over. These were his words before leaving through the main doors in the rain.
- Arthuro! If you go, you will ... - Sheyla said with tears in her eyes before Arthuro closed the doors.
Raynard's House...
I am not sure what happened, but I am feeling a bad feeling, and it seems that each day is getting closer and closer, as if someone very, very dangerous was close, I better be careful, I sat on the floor with my legs crossed and closed my eyes, so I can concentrate more, so I can know what it feels like, when I closed my eyes, I saw that someone very dangerous was approaching the capital, his aura is so powerful that I can feel it for many kilometers - Incredible that there are people like that here, why didn't I notice before? - I found myself thinking, he doesn't seem to be in a hurry - Don't watch me for a long time boy - an unknown voice in my head, - Shit! Did he notice that I was watching him? - I thought. It is not possible, how can anyone be able to do this ... Who can have such power?
Then I stopped feeling him, so he wouldn't know that I was watching him. I had to prepare myself for his coming, so I decided to speak with the sword.
- Hey! Sword, wake up, I need to talk to you - I said while hitting her on the floor.
- Shit! What was it, bitch? That fucking hurt.
- I need to know how people feel without being noticed.
- You're in trouble, right? I could feel it.
- So how do I do it?
- You don't know how to do something as simple as that, you are a really badass.
- Shut up and talk soon, I need to know where he is at every moment.
- Okay, okay, you need to hide your presence, it's easy, imagine an invisible barrier around you and feel that inside you become something that cannot be seen, stop all your senses, stay in a neutral state and so you can do it.
- It seems more complicated than I imagined, I'll try to imagine an invisible barrier and erase its presence ... - I said forcedly with my eyes closed.
- I explained in as much detail as possible, if you don't get it you are an empty head.
Really if I don't get it now, we could be in danger later, because of my curiosity I ended up giving my position to the guy with the worst aura I have ever felt, maybe I learn this so I can know your every position, so I can prepare myself before his arrival, i am sure he is not a good person - just flood my presence ... - i said while closing my eyes, entering a neutral state of my senses.
In doing so, I felt that something had happened, it felt like I was in a totally dark and lonely world, it was cold and there was only me in a place without any dimension.
- Incredible bitch, you managed to do it perfectly, no, you went further, it seems that you erased your own existence - thought the sword.
So I opened my eyes, and everything went back to normal, I think it worked.
- So sword, how do I do?
- "Cof cof", you managed, you managed to camouflage his presence - said the sword with a suspicious tone - This boy, he is special - thought the sword again.
- Seriously?! So now I can detect it without it detecting me, amazing, how do you know so much about these things? You're just a sword, aren't you?
- Don't underestimate me, I was once a very powerful man.
- A man? As well?
- Leave it alone, I don't need to talk about it ...
After that the sword fell silent and didn't speak to me anymore, then I'll thank him better, now I needed to know where the guy was, I couldn't take my eyes off him like that, he is certainly someone very dangerous, if he is really coming here , he is capable of hurting people, so I will need to intervene, I am afraid of him hurting people, now I am going to prepare for his coming.
- Assuming that he will arrive in 1 month, I have to prepare myself in that time if something happens that could endanger everyone, I am not sure what he came here to do, but he certainly did not come to make friends.
I was the organization to leave Silvia with Sheyla, she didn't even complain now, this is already a good thing, I decided to go and train a place in the forest, the same field where I faced Trunko, that place was very spacious, so it was great, then i will need to go elsewhere and improve my techniques, i don't want to damage the forest again.
Somewhere on the mainland of Larcadia...
- Aspect of Love, I found Paz, now we can and conclude our objective - said Sig Wald to the aspect hidden in the shadows.
- Truth? How great, he's a special among us ...
- But it seems that he still doesn't know much about the aspects, I intend to return to teach him how to master the power within himself.
- Okay, I'll be waiting here, Sig Wald.
15 days to a month, that guy was missing, I'm getting ready for the worst case, I would really like him not to cause us any danger, really my strength was beyond the ordinary after absorbing that stone, I was training hand to hand, the sword I will leave to use in a place that is not this forest. Her guardian may be furious with me again.
While training, I see a big bird surrounding the sky, the day was so hot ... Thanks to my power I have a great resistance to high temperatures, I think I'll take a rest, I think it's better to look at what that guy is doing, a rock in the middle of the forest and I closed my eyes, camouflaged my instincts and felt his aura, but for some reason there is a familiar aura coming close to that guy ... Who is it?
After I felt the familiar aura getting even closer - Arthuro ?! - I thought as I see him running towards him - Shit! What is Arthuro doing with this guy ?! - I thought then, before I could see anything else, something interfered with me, it wasn't him, it was something close to me, in the same forest, for a moment I felt the same presence as always, so I decided to go after her, after I arrived at a waterfall and the aura disappeared at the same moment, the only thing I saw was a wolf running towards the mountain.
- Shit! If something happens to Arthuro I will not forgive that guy, the way now is to wait.
The place I was in was perfect for me to train my sword techniques and my magic, the strength of when I wielded the sword was really greater, that thing about Chief Ron saying that I am a driver may be true, I decided to train with active fire on the sword, so I can adapt better since I couldn't even breathe so hard, my concern for Arthuro was huge, but I couldn't let myself be carried away, in fact he has nothing to do with that guy.
Time has passed, so my training during those one month ends today, I will go back to my house and take a shower, maybe Silvia and Sheyla are there, since I loaned the house for Sheyla to take care of Silvia for me, I am certainly very grateful to her for taking care of my little sister, i put away my sword and got my things and went towards the gate, i was stinking and my clothes were worn, when i got home sheyla and silvia were not there.
"Maybe they went to buy something," I thought.
Tomorrow will be the day that guy gets to the capital ...
- Arthuro ... - he said worriedly.
I regret not having gone with him, if something happens to him I will blame myself for the rest of my life, everything I have done so far I just regretted, however much I try to protect everyone, I always attract confusion.
So I went to take a shower, while I was in the shower I heard the door to the living room open.
- My big brother is back !! - said Silvia outside the bathroom.
- Yeah ... I think he really came back, his things are here - Sheyla says happily.
- What is that noise outside? - I wondered.
When I got out of the shower I dried off and put on my clothes, when I opened the door Silvia came running towards me giving me a hug.
- I missed you a lot - said Silvia while hugging me.
While she was hugging me Sheyla was with her arms crossed leaning against the wall, until I looked at Silvia after we left, she was bigger and a little different.
- Silvia, what happened to you? You look ma-ma- - Do I look bigger? - said Silvia interrupting me -, I forgot to tell you, in my species we grew up fast, that's normal, don't worry - said Silvia shortly afterwards with a laugh on her face.
- Seriously?! Now I'm going to have to ask you to make a dress for that bigger one ... - I said low.
- Kakakaka, you are a joke really big brother, but nothing will change, you are still my big brother - said Silvia laughing at me.
- Rumf, it is true, do not think that you will already create wings.
While we were talking, Sheyla was laughing in the back, so I went to her to thank her.
- Sheyla, thank you very much for taking care of Silvia during those one month, really.
- Don't worry, I like her.
As good as our dialogue was, I decided to ask about it.
- Sheyla, I need to know where Arthuro went, you have to tell me.
- Af ... I knew that sometime you would ask, do what -, Arthuro went to meet some of the strongest mercenaries in the world.
- What?! But why would he do that?
- Well ... You know the rules of the organization right?
So his mission was to kill you, but he didn't, instead he decided to bring you into the organization because he thought you would be much more useful - Sheyla said, depressed.
- Do not play! Sheyla! If Arthuro does that, they'll kill him, shit! I knew I should have gone after him, "I said out loud, concerned for Arthuro.
While Sheyla touched my shoulders, she said the following words: - Don't worry, he said he'll be fine ...
After saying these words to me, Sheyla opened the door and left, meanwhile I was blaming myself in every way at home.
- If that guy does something with Arthuro, I'll kill him.
While I was saying this with hatred in my heart, Silvia approached me.
- Relax, Uncle Arthuro will be fine ...
Silvia was crying while speaking those words, Sheyla must have told her about what is happening.
"I really need to trust him," he said as I turned and fidgeted with Silvia's hair.
I sat on the couch and relaxed, while I was waiting for the mercenary, surely Arthuro knew he was coming and went to meet him, I feel so guilty about it all, so I waited for his arrival.
