章節 6: Ch. 3 Daisy Wonder
So full disclosure on this one. I've never seen a Grimm like this before. Actually I don't think anyone's seen a Grimm like this. It's more man beast than anything and has this look to it. Primordial. Something different. I can't really explain it. Really it just bugs the hell out of me for obvious reasons. And as if that wasn't bad enough my aura is still regenerating. I'm thinking retreat but for some reason this girl is hell bent on fighting it. This girl…is strange. Lace Daisy Wonder. I can't really think in it right now but I can focus on rebuilding my aura.
The creature waste no time. It runs forward like a titan. Every step is that of an earthquake. Terrific. Imagine getting stepped on.
Lace fires more shots and looks to me.
"What are you doing?" She's referring to why I'm sitting down. I'm meditating but she doesn't know that.
"Are you meditating?!" She asks in surprise though the smile never leaves her face.
Good guess.
"I'm rebuilding my aura." Lead it away from me please. Won't be much longer now"
Lace salutes and jumps away. A Surprisingly high distance away from me. The creature kept coming though. Lace fires off shots and hits the creature getting its attention. It follows her. So now I have time but I don't know how much time I really have. I just need a minute before I'm done but will Lace hold off for that long. Rebuilding aura is a technique that can be
Used differently depending on the individual. Imagine broken glass. Then imagine the broken glass putting itself back together. Piece by piece. It's a way of putting together broken aura by manipulating one's spirit. This saves time but it also leaves you vulnerable. I have a lot of aura but using aura control to extend my semblance taxes my aura altogether. Also making it vulnerable. Used properly it's well worth it but in a bad situation like this it can be fatal. Good thing Lace is here. Otherwise I'd probably be dead.
My aura, after about 30 seconds is near completion but I see Lace flying across my field of view. So I think it's best to help out. My aura will finish itself. I stand and rush over to Lace. She's on her butt looking confused like a child.
"Get up. I'll take it from here." I extend my hand out to her. She looks at me.
"It just disappeared"
Disappeared? I look around and don't see the monster. I look around and it appears to be gone. Then who
"Why were you just flying in the air?" I ask
"Well if swung that club and I was like whoa and it sent me in the air and then disappeared in a ray of light like wam and here were are!" How old is she?
Honestly I can't believe it disappeared. And in a ray of light? Maybe a unique ability? I don't know. This is honestly quite scary.
Lace straightens her clothes and unfolds her umbrella over her head.
"Well then" she smiles at me "that was disgruntling"
"Who even are you?" I finally ask just. She's definitely not from here, from her dress style to her accent.
"I already told you silly. Lace Daisy Wonder at your service. That I am?" She twirls and then bows. she seems off. Or maybe just overly dramatic. I don't know I can't quite put my- she pokes my nose "boop"
We just stare at each other.
I stayed until the Mistral military arrived. Killed any straggler Grimm in the surrounding area. None with the heart shaped mark. I'm more curious than ever about them. Strange coordinated behavior and then the big guy. I don't know what to make of it. Have the Grimm began to evolve? Maybe, maybe not. I was thinking they're probably old Grimm unearthed due to the pain and fear the war brought but not so much anymore. I've never heard of them in any history books nor have I seen in those books any Grimm that looked or acted quite like the large one. Obviously further investigation is needed though I don't think I can do this alone. It's not my field of expertise though I can still gather intel.
After seeing that the villagers were alright about 15 minutes following the encounter with the beast I decide to head towards Mistral academy. Maybe the head master there may have more information about these particular Grimm considering they're plentiful here.
Upon leaving the village I noticed someone following me. I pretend not to notice but then I hear a girlish "eep!" I turn and head towards the sound casually. I see Lace brushing the dirt off her dress which is still strangely spotless. She sees me and turns around as if confused as to her surroundings. Yeah. I know.
"Uh…hi there." I say uncomfortably. She turns as if seeing me for the first time with a look of surprise.
"Ah it's you again huntsman. What a strange coincidence." My eye twitches and her guilty giggle meant she noticed.
"Lace why are you following me?" I ask annoyed.
"Following you?" She sounded offended "I'd never stoop to such a creepy position I'll have you know"
Yeah sure.
"Whatever just go away" I turn and began to walk. The girl can take care of herself but I'm nothing but bad luck. Best if she's not in my company.
"Haha. Why would I do that silly if you're exactly what I'm looking for?" I quickly turn to look at her with fierceness. She sees my face. That's not something you tell someone who is occasionally in the company of death mongers like the Grimm, bandits, and killers.
"Not what you think hehe" she waved her hands "I mean I've been looking for someone who can fulfill my wish."
Wish? Do I look like a fucking genie to her?
"I'll pass, get lost." I wave her away. "You don't want someone like me fulfilling any kind of wishes."
"Please, you're a hero aren't you?" She grab onto my shirt in a frail way. And for the first time I feel her aura. It's unique. Something I've never felt before. There's a power there. I know everyone's different but this is…almost angelic. Couldn't help but turn and look at her. Really look at her. She looks young. My age but maybe younger. I'd say 15 or maybe 17 years in age. Her smile is gone. Replaced by sadness.
"Please, I need you to save my sister."
Sister huh. Well it's not like I'm not suppose to save people. It's kinda my occupation.
"Is she trapped somewhere?" I ask holding her hand gently releasing my shirt from her grip. Her tiny frail hands feels just like that. Though she's wearing white gloves I can feel the weakness. It's hard to believe she's firing that weaponized umbrella. Then again aura control helps.
"No not trapped exactly." She looks down. "You see we're after the same thing I think." Her voice lower than normal. Shy.
"And that'll be?" I ask curiously
"Well you see.." she pauses "she's being help captive by the Red Queen" Red Queen. Wait..that's the one Lace claims is controlling the Grimm with the hearts.
"I want you to kill the Red Queen and save my twin sister Claret." And that is when our journey truly began. The mission to kill the Red Queen.
