It was the year 764 around may when it happened. I was summoned to my leader's office and meeting room along with the other guardians.

  "This is probably one of the most important wars and largest of the century." He started.

  He didn't continue to talk, he went silent. Allowing the whispers and the sound of guardians talking to eachother take over.

  "And many of you may not make it out alive." He continued and everyone else in the room went silent immediately.

  "What we're up against is not a kingdom or a rebellious group."

  After he said that everyone's whisper and talking took over again due to what he just said.

  "What we're up against right now, is a single person. One able to conjure an army of millions. One we did not pay attention to until we were too late."

  "This may be one of the largest battles you may fight in and also may be your last."

  "So who is this person." I finally decided to speak up.

  "Her name is Eme, Eme Oriheio, yet we refer to her as the humanoid calamity or the queen of the night. As far as I'm concerned she does not have a blesser so she is not a vessel but what she is, is a pure cog."

  Pure cogs are basically when celestials take over a person who is not a vessel and this usually happens because their spiritualla is similar to that of the celestial.

  "Well who is the god that took over her?" I asked

  "Persephone, great lady of the underworld. As of now, as we're speaking, the calamity is currently incubating and evolving in order to be a great fit for Persephone to take over."

  "Wait does that mean that the calamity's soul is connected to the underworld and her spiritulla is necromancy?" one of the guardians asked.

  "Yes and no," he answered "her soul is connected to the underworld but her spiritulla isn't necromancy, infact it's the ruler of evil."

  Ruler of evil, a spiritulla that allows one to manifest evil being who are pure evil no matter from where they are. From the demon world, underworld or the human world itself.

  These pure evil beings are loyal to their master and obey their commands. And they are also very powerful as well the average being ranking around high 5 star in overall power.

  "Well, the reason I called you here today wasn't to just tell you about that." Our leader continued "We... have to come up with a tactic for this battle."

  We have mostly been following orders from the higher ups and the councils of Odinia and here they decided to trust the council of the guardians to come up with a battle tactic.

  I wasn't apart of the council of guardians so I didn't exactly need to be here. "Well, those who are not apart of the council may leave now." Our leader said next which confirmed my prediction.

  "Um.. Zeit?" Eme snapped me out of my flashbacks.

  I had been blanky staring at her this entire time. "Oh sorry" I replied.

  "Well, like I said I should be going now, it's getting dark."

  "Oh yeah, you should go back soon."

  "And you should get some sleep."

  And just like that Eme had left leaving only me in my hospital room just laying there in the bed. Where my mind was once again filled with questions and I struggled to answer them.

  Eme would be a valuable asset to have, she had massive potential and could be even stronger then some low 7 star guardians at her highest even without becoming the humanoid calamity.

  If I train her and take her under my wing, she could become really powerful and we might be able to prevent her becoming the calamity.

  I've already started to get close to her a bit, it won't be long until I will be able to take her under my wing or become at least companions or something. But no matter what I couldn't let her become the calamity.

  Just then I remembered something or someone. "Clarent." I called out expecting some sort of response.

  That's when I heard a "Yes master?" From inside my head.

  "It's been a while." Clarent said to my suprise.

  "Hmm, what do you mean Clarent." I replied.

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  "Well, when you first called out to me, you referred to me as 'old friend' and I felt a sort of connection to you the same as the connection I felt to Mordred."

  "I see"

  "It felt like I have been with you for a long time, even though we just met. And I also felt something was wrong about you something a bit off."

  "Hmm? What was it?" I asked in anticipation.

  "Well, I noticed that your soul seems a lot older then your body almost like a vessel of ascender or a regressor."

  "Well, your mostly correct, I may be one of the two."

  "Well, it feels good to at least know that, since I feel like I will be serving you for a while."

  That night, I couldn't sleep at all. Maybe from the questions flooding my mind or maybe because I have gotten to much sleep the last few days.

  I took this chance to think about what to do next. I first wanted to get acquainted with Eme and then maybe head for a guardians academy soon once I turn 15.

  And with my wounds I wouldn't be able to do anything for a month or two.

  "Also, with my abilities, power and aura flowing through you, you may heal your injuries fairly quickly." Clarent said from inside my mind.

  I was surprised before I was relieved that I would be able to train for a bit and get worthy to pass the guardians academy entrance test in the capital of Odinia.

  I needed to be at least high 4 star vessel to be able to participate as of now I am only a low 3 star vessel.

  I might want to pick up adventuring for a while before going to the guardians academy. The guardians entrance test is around September one month after August so in total I have around 5 months left before going there.

  I had plenty of time to get stronger and get more allies for my end goal. So I wanted to pick up adventuring and also become a climber.

  A climber is someone that climbs a tower of dungeons and monsters almost like a labyrinth but it went upwards instead of into the ground.

  It's close to adventuring but these are two different things. I wanted to pick up both of these due to its high amount of rewards and how much I would grow from it.

  The legal age for adventuring was only 14 and climbing was 16, but with my looks and height anyone could mistake me for someone around 16 so I could just make a fake id for that but I would get in a lot of trouble.

  But, I didn't care about legal problems what I did worry about was how my family would react to me wanting to be an adventurer or a climber after we just lost Hestia.

  That one thought stuck by me all night never leaving my mind. Creating different scenarios about how they would react and most of them were in a negative way.

  After almost drowning in thoughts and questions that flooded in mind I had finally fallen asleep, and I slept peacefully.

  Even though I slept peacefully, i couldn't say the same about my dreams it was far from peaceful. It was my worst nightmare----literally.

  This nightmare was like a rollercoaster, where it took me from one bad memory to another, from Hestia dying and her last moments in my arms to myself dying after all that suffering which I would say wasn't that bad.

  What was bad was that one memory of just getting a message by a guardian that the war was over and that I had lost all the remaining members of my family, Raumia, mother and father.

  It flashed many bad memories when all of a sudden I was jolted awake by somebody poking my arm and then shaking me awake.

  "Are you okay, Zeit?" It was, Raumia he was sitting right beside the bed I was laying on.

  "I'm fine, but where is mom and dad." I answered.

  "Are you sure you're okay? You were sweating a lot in your sleep." Raumia shot back with a worried tone. "As for mom and dad they are gonna come and visit but they will come a lot later."

  "I see and there is something that I wanted to tell them."

  "Hmm? What is it?"

  "Umm, I want to become an adventurer." I just said adventurer because if I had said climber I knew that he would have an insane reaction to this.

  "Are you serious? We just lost Hestia and you want to become an adventurer?" Raumia answered with a serious tone.

  "Yes, I am serious about this, and I need to get experience if I want to become a guardian."

  "Well that is true, you can get experience for that and you always said you wanted to do that." Raumia said a bit calmer this time. "I might approve but mom and dad will not have as calm of a reaction as me."

  "Yes, I know."

  "Infact, they are a bit more angry or so with you, both about risking your life and about Hestia. So it may not be a good time to tell them about this."

  Yeah that was true I needed to make up with them first and get them a bit on their good side. They are probably really angry with me about this attack but, during my past life and around when Edward attacked I tried to save Hestia but she ended up dying.

  Back then, they reacted positively and seemed like wasn't mad or angry with me at all but, I don't know if this time might be the same.

  Looking back now, after learning everything about well everything I could in my past life. Hestia also had a lot of potential, if she had awakened her relic she would've lived.

  "Anyways, I'm gonna go now and I put your breakfast to your right, you should be able to eat with your right hand still working." Raumia snapped me out of my thoughts.

  "Oh, well okay, see you later."

  After Raumia left and I had finished eating, I tried to get a feeling for my relic that was inside of me. I closed my eyes and focused on the emblem of gears intertwining on my right hand.

  I felt a green glow on it but it wasn't a large glow though, but just knowing that this amount of green aura coming off from the emblem was enough to utilise my relic a bit was enough for me.

  My body emitted a green glow of aura yet the aura on my hand around my emblem was a different shade of green a bit more light in colour and also had a tint of gold flowing around.

  I tried to pour my green aura emitted from my soul and spirit into my relic but no matter what I did it felt like it bounced back and only a tiny bit not even around one tenth of the aura I tried to pour in actually went in.

  I tried to do this for a while as minutes if not an hour or two past, trying various different methods to do this yet it didn't work it kept giving the same result.

  But, as I was meditating, I had noticed some kind of golden aura in the air around me. Noticing it was the same shade as the gold around my emblem, I started and tried to gather it little by little slowly but surely I had made a sphere out of this golden aur---

  The door had slammed open snapping me out of my concentration and making me lose focus. Which led to the golden sphere disappearing and without focus I couldn't feel around the aura particles anymore.

  I looked to see who it was at the door, two figures stood there they seemed to be visibly angry or frustrated.

  I widened my eyes before realising and finally having my full focus on them that they were my mother and father.
