Chapter 7- Nothings New

  Edward had took off into the forest I stood there empty with nothing to do. My heart racing like never before, the feeling of losing a family member twice was overbearing.

  That's when I heard a voice behind me "What are you doing just standing there?" Raumia said while standing behind me.

  I looked at him confused before he emitted an aura that gave off my vibes. He had used his spiritualla, successor which allows him to use other people's powers based on his understanding of the ability.

  "Don't tell me."

  "Yeah, come on we have no time to waste."

  Raumia lifted me into the air ready to fling to towards Edward. I raised a rock and put my feet up against the rock and charged Clarent with energy ready to go bursting towards Edward.

  With no time to waste at the exact same time Raumia flung me I kicked my feet off the rock and swung my blade releasing energy sending me forward.

  I was using my telekinesis to reduce air resistance and Raumia was using his to boost me forwards I used energy from Clarent as extra boosters.

  I soar through the air and the forest with Edward slowly coming into my sight. I readied Clarent to strike down Edward. But Edward seemed to become faster and faster.

  At this point I wouldn't catch up to Edward and Raumia wouldn't be able to support me from such distance. I charged Clarent with energy that I hadn't seen before even in my past life.

  That's when a flashback from Clarent came when it was sealed in the academy of Gyrofil. All the friction and pain and dulling from the chains and the heat and coldness that Clarent had overcome all these came back as one powerful burst of energy.

  "CLARENT, AWAKEN."

  Clarent shot an energy beam into the sky. It was so long I couldn't see the end of it. The width of the energy beam only grew as it got longer. This much energy couldn't be compressed.

  I struck down at the direction and of Edward and hit him. A direct hit, it slammed Edward into the ground but he managed to block it with his arms but he would be severely injured.

  I stopped in front of Edward ready to deal the finishing blow but, Edward smiled no a smirk, a grin that felt like he said that I miscalculated.

  "Nice fight kid, but this is the end."

  I held up the blade ready to defend against whatever he was about to pull. He lifted up his hand, his palm facing me, I readied for the incoming attack, but what came wasn't an attack. But, a void like portal came out.

  He went inside alongside my sister, I tried to chase after them but, it was too late, the portal had already closed. It was over.

  The battle was over and it was no different from last time, I had lost my sister once again. I stood there once again empty, my thoughts filled with nothingness.

  I felt empty, and disappointed because I couldn't prevent something I promised to myself that I would prevent it. Nothing was new only the fact that Edward left the Extraction Blade, I got The Growth Dagger and Clarent early.

  The only thing I could hope for now was that Edward would 'convert' Hestia instead of killing her. Killing her would be the worse case scenario but 'conversion' would still be bad since I would have to fight her again in the future.

  I slowly started walking back, with no thoughts inside my mind at all, just the feeling for emptiness and void.

  I didn't know how long I was walking for I didn't care about anything, the only thing I had on my mind now was losing Hestia and disappointment.

  I came out of the forest to see Raumia with a relieved face before turning to anxious and worried.

  "Where's Hestia? Are you okay, Zeit?" Raumia asked.

  I couldn't feel anything I was so tired from the fight and using that much energy, the walking and the speed that I travelled to catch up to Edward and finally the emotional impact was the last straw.

  I had collapsed and blacked out. The last thing I saw was Raumia and a few guardians who were stationed at Gyrofil rushing towards me and I heard a clanging noise from Clarent falling down.

  When I woke up, I found myself in a bed, a pretty comfortable bed. I had many bandages over my body, my leg was hung up it looked like it was broken, my arm was bandaged up too it seemed like Clarent prevented all the pain from getting to my head and kept my limbs in function.

  The doctors noticed that I had woken up and quickly went to call my parents and Raumia. They came in with mixed feelings from what I could see. They seemed to be worried, anxious and relieved.

  My mom though was an exception, her face was full of tears she seemed to be relieved but I couldn't sense that emotion.

  The doctor broke the silence "You have been unconscious for 3 days."

  Reality hit me hard everything I had gone through these past few days came back and I found myself with flowing tears from my eyes again running down the side of my face.

  "We were worried sick." My mom said with tears in her eyes.

  "Yeah, we didn't know what to do if we lost another family member." Raumia said next.

  I expected my dad or mom to scold me about risking my life but, they did not, my dad stood there silent and my mom was crying while sitting beside me.

  Even after all that sleeping I was still tired both mentally and physically and blacked out once again, I could've been asleep for a few more days but who knows.

  When I had woken up there seemed to be no one in the room now the light peeking through the window showed an orange colour, I figured this was around sunset.

  I looked at the window to see a girl just sitting there. Long luscious black hair flowing in the wind. Emerald green eyes which would just get complimented by the orange light of the sunset which fell upon her.

  Every feature of her face complimented each other from her long lashes to her glowing and shiny emerald green eyes. She seemed to be too perfect for this cruel world.

  She had her hand on her ears holding on to her hair as the wind blew past her. She was looking out of the window into the beautiful sunset which I could care less about, there was something, no someone way more beautiful here.

  That was when I realised I had been staring, I didn't know what I had been thinking. This was a girl I have never met before. And I had already started to think of her this way, how stupid.

  Lost in thoughts, I hadn't realised the girl had turned my way and was looking straight at me while tilting her head a little. It seemed to be a gesture of confusion but it just turned her elegance earlier into pure cuteness.

  "Um, hi." A voice I hadn't expected, this was a way cuter voice then I had thought, I expected her voice to be a bit more elegant due to my first impression of her.

  But, this voice seemed to fit her more now that she started to look cuter than elegant.

  "Have we met before?" I asked after I recognised her a bit, feeling like I had seen her before.

  "Yes, actually." She replied with some nervousness in her voice.

  "Really, I never really saw you though, if I did I would never forget someone as beautiful as yo--." Before I realised these words just slipped out of my mouth.

  I quickly covered my mouth with my one hand that was still fine.

  She giggled a bit before replying, "Well, actually both times we have met I almost had my entire body covered.

  "Really?? That was you?" I replied with genuine suprise in my voice.

  "Yes, I was wearing glasses and black contacts, that's probably why you couldn't recognise me."

  "I see." I replied before an awkward silence took over.

  After a few moments had gone by, the girl broke the silence "Oh also, thanks for saving me a few days ago."

  "Huh, what do you mean?" I replied with confusion

  "Well, when you were fighting Edward."

  "Yeah? Wait how do you know I fought Edward?"

  "Well everyone in the city knows you as their saviour now."

  "Wait, seriously?"

  "Yes."

  "How long have I been out for."

  "Around 3 days since you woke up, so around 6 days I guess."

  "Really? Almost a week has past?" I said while trying to get up.

  "Wait no!" The girl yelled

  I tried getting up, but my body screamed no. And my body was filled with pain and I ended up falling down on the bed again that led to more pain.

  "Are you okay?"

  "Yeah, just a lot of pain."

  "Well, you shouldn't try to do that again."

  "Yeah that is true.

  After that an awkward silence took over once again. I took this chance to revise what had happened up until now.

  I arrived here around 7-8 days ago in the library, not knowing anything before realising I was in the past now. Next I went back home on the way I found some goons and I beat the heck out of them.

  After arriving home and seeing my family after so many years, tears started to fall. After that I had dinner and slept. After waking up I helped my mom prepare breakfast and ate.

  I went out to the city and to the blacksmith got dagger of growth, then to the academy where Clarent displayed that strange text. I took it as rejection before going to the library and getting Arthur's book on the way I bumped into this girl.

  I trained with the dagger before going to the library and getting Arthur's book. Something strange happened at the library which caused me to go bac--

  "By the way, is that Clarent that you were using to fight da- I mean Edward." while lost in thoughts, the girl snapped me out of it.

  "Oh ye-- wait how do you know that the blade of Arthur is Clarent?" I asked suspiciously

  Most people just know the blade of Arthur as a replica of the real one Excalibur not as Clarent the son of Excalibur.

  "Well, I heard you yell and rant about Clarent in your sleep and in your fight you were yelling 'CLARENT, AWAKEN.'"

  "Oh, yeah" I replied embarrassingly.

  I was too suspicious about her and I was also embarrassed about my ranting in my sleep.

  After that, we kept chatting about random things we came up with. From this city to spiritullas to relics and gods and also vessels.

  I enjoyed talking to her so much I hadn't noticed that the darkness had once again took over the beautiful orange painted sky.

  "Oh, it's already dark now." The girl reminded me.

  "I should probably head back now."

  "Oh okay."

  "Oh yeah before you go, I haven't asked you about your name."

  "Oh yeah, I forgot, about it. Sorry."

  "It's fine I also forgot about it too." I figured she already knew my name because I was practically famous now from what I heard from her.

  "I already know who you are so it's fine." Just as I thought.

  "Anyways, I'm Eme, Eme Oriheio."

  Wait.... What.
