58 Chapter 58
"Rip it apart?"
"Yes Aruno, you must separate the galaxy once more. But that's going to take a very long time. Us five are not going to die anytime soon but, we want to secure the future within you five."
"Shin! Erase the Arcanum. These five now done using it. We're training them personally, so the existence of the Arcanum is no longer needed. "
"Hold on Zyra, are we going to keep our abilities and weapons with the Arcanum gone?"
"Yes, but you will now have to physically hold your weapons. Your abilities are carved into you now, and we'll show you how to use them properly."
There really is so much going on all at once.
Zing! Zip! Swoosh!
"Everyone stay still! Do not move! The worlds are merging." Shit, I thought we had more time."
January 7th 2026, 4:15pm the world merge has started.
January 8th 2026, 9:27am the world merge has ended.
"Are you five okay? It's over now." I reach my hand out to bring Ko Amari back to his feet.
"Thanks- whoa you have really have armor huh?" So sparkly- he must be the last of the Lumes.
"Koharu Wonshin."
What's this guy saying? Koharu Wonsh-
"That's my name, Koharu Wonshin. Did you hit your head Ko? Does that not sound like a name?" I suppose he is from a different world than me, no wonder he doesn't get it.
"Nevermind that Ko. You're coming with me, training is starting now. The other four are with the others. Try to keep up partner."
I don't like him, but he is matching my energy- he does it differently than Yoru. He seems familiar.
What's that in his hand? Leaning over noticing it's a small staff. I hang my head in disbelief. Why do all my opponents have staffs. It's always staffs, his is small so it shouldn't be a match for my twin blades.
"Wonshin, I'm a bit hungry is there anything I can eat before we start?"
"No. You can wait until after we're done."
This guy! I'm starving.
"Stop that look Ko. Do you think the enemies you're going to encounter will let you eat beforehand. I'll answer that for you. No."
This guy is an asshole, but he's right.
"Come on now we're almost there."
"Yoru keep your head up!"
"No you keep your head up- Ryuko!"
A loud clash manaquaking against each other as two Scythes collided.
Phew! "That was a close one Yoru, you have so much murderous intent behind each swing."
"If only I knew what happened to you to cause that kind of pain."
"That's none of your business- that's my business and nobody else's."
"I already know everything Yoru. I wanted to see if you would tell me."
"Oh yeah? You know all about me..?"
Clink Clank
"Yes Yoru Kurai. How you were abused as a child.. how your father killed your mother- how he abandoned and left you behind. How you met Rin."
"Shut up!"
"Good Yoru, let me feel that hate. Hate me more!" It's messed up but she needs this, she must become strong.
She's behind me?! She's getting even faster! This is great!
Shut up.. shut up.. shut up. The tears dripping from my eyes as a swing my scythe. "Shut up!"
She's crying- sigh… I'm getting soft. "Yoru stop. Let's go take a break. Are you hungry?"
I drop to my knees crying and she's asking me if I'm hungry. "Stop."
"What was that Yoru?"
"Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop."
Now she cares? Stop, I can handle myself. I get up with a smile. "Sure I can eat, let's go."
This girl- she's not okay in the head. She's going to break and hurt someone.
"Okay Yoru- follow me."
