Chương 60: Elysia Ray
On board the yacht their guest ate while Tral told him the story of the trials they had go through against the forces that rules this world. Explained their youth together, the hunt by the military after they escaped from captivity and the old man that lead them on the quest for power to face the overbearing church.
It was when this old man was mentioned that the swordsman stopped eating and grew very attentive. There are many crazy old people in the world but the older they become the more it is that they have survived.
When it came to the their current place in the story there was silence as they expected him to start talking.
He sat there silently before beginning with a question "you know I could still kill you without much effort?" to which Tral responded casually "I always wondered how far my power could be pushed and death is quite the motivator. Your ghost should tell mine how big I can make the mountain you wish to die under."
The swordsman chuckled at the exchange before introducing himself "I like your spunk monster.. I am Elysia Ray the blade that rings for the end of the wicked. My master trained me to hone these skills of mine for many tireless years to become what I am today. She showed me the way of the sword to cultivate a will that would rid this world of the many evils that grow within the hearts mortals who think themselves grand and that includes the self proclaimed immortals as all will eventually die."
He pauses to let these words sink in as he tokes from his pipe in a slow drag only continuing once he is ready "My master spoke of a wild old man full of secrets who comes to guide people down certain paths then leaves as soon as he comes… The old one found my master when she was lost and trained her to become a slayer of darkness. He told her that one day she would train someone who would help change this world forever.. I feel like quite the disappointment in this as no matter how many rotten creatures I slay, this world never changes but do you know what that old man called himself?"
Tral and Darick look at each other very confused before Tral replied "I've only met him a few times and have the memories which were given willingly ok, of an other who has met and knows of him but no-one seems to know his name besides simply calling him the old one… are you saying that he told your master his name?"
Elysia Ray stopped smoking to lean forward in a deeply serious response "He told her one name to call him as a parting gift right before he left never to return… and you Tral Salvara are telling me that you have no clue as to his name or origins but claim your ancient sire was placed in a tree by the very same old man since a time before these mountain rose towards the sky… This is very interesting indeed."
Elysia quickly stood up after saying this to turn his back to them to stand at the edge of the ship "I'm sorry to be such a poor guest but I suddenly find myself the need to go for a walk to clear the mind. We shall meet again Mr.Salvara and Mr.Cross… When that time comes I think I may tell you the old ones name but until then have happy hunting for the doctor you seek can be found through his associates on the Golden Galleon that sails in these waters."
Elysia Ray then without another word leaps off the yacht to run across the surface of the water as if it were solid with the apparent ease as he does all things leaving Tral and Darick behind to contemplate what had transpired till they decided to return to the dock where they were ment to meet up with Gè Míng.
Elysia ran far with a troubled mind completely avoiding the city to head to a small secluded temple in a nearby forest. There he removed his shoes to enter before kneeling to pray at the alter.
From another room came the voice of an old woman who sounded to be barely clinging to life "It has been a while since you have spared the time for this bag of bones little Ray…*coughing* I thought that you had enough of my lessons for this life time when last you left to roam the world."
Elysia lowered his head "I had returned to Japing over a year ago but couldn't bring myself to return yet… I am sorry for my lack of fealty master as I thought that hiding away only to train for an abstract goal was too much but tonight I came across someone that changes everything. There is a young man that can create at a whim, who became a monster for the noble cause of rescuing his twin from those that bear the false light…. The siblings Salvara."
There comes a gasp from the other room followed by more coughing as slow yet determined footsteps can be heard approaching. The door between rooms slides open and an elderly woman with long silky hair appears resting her weight on a gnarly cane yet a renewed vigor seems to keep her steady "Then the time has come that signals the end of these days of peace. His prophecy is truly coming to pass while life still flows through me. Bring the creator to me so that I may gaze upon the fool which my master waited for"
