It has been a month since I left Ignia and a year since I was summoned. Riding Wahrheit I smiled as I felt the wind on my hair. Gone were my favored Ignian clothes in favor of traveling clothes. A tattered cloak, my pair of gauntlets on my hands, a black and white sleeveless tunic with form-fitting plate armor. For my bottom, I wore a pair of pants with several belts crisscrossing the waist as a place to store my pouches and reliable multi-tool, whip chain. I finished my attire off with a pair of combat boots.

I held on to Wahrheit's fur as I put on a mask that is the shape of a visor. I looked at the scenery as I passed them. It was all so beautiful.

Suddenly, a vision appeared. I was shot by arrows from the side, to hit me like that requires serious skills. I held my whip chain, stood up on Wahrheit's back and deflected the incoming arrows before riding him again properly.

I waved my hand as several golden ripples appeared on the air and chains shot out aimed at the archers. I ignored their dying screams as I went closer to them while riding Wahrheit. Looking at them I saw that they were humans, but they have horns and an insane amount of magic.

One of them had a knife on hand and tried to stab me but I leaned my head dodging the knife, grabbed his head and slammed it into the ground.

SPLAT

The head exploded and dyed the ground red with blood. I grabbed my whip and readied it ignoring the look of the demon.

"Nothing personal just tying up loose ends," I looked at the demon who tried to attack me but was stopped by being devoured by my wolf.

"Let's go Wahrheit," I told my partner and rode him towards the beach. I smiled as I looked at the golden sands, the silver clouds dancing on the blue heavens.

I smiled and jumped off my mount. I grabbed a handful of sand and watched as it poured into the beach. It was beautiful and reminded me that just like those sands were life.

I took my supplies from Wahrheit and slung it on my back.

'those supplies are heavy partner' he complained but I shrugged at him and caught him when he jumped and turned to my sword.

"it's not that heavy," I said and I walked towards a huge resort. Readying my wallet I smiled as This was my first vacation in a while. I went inside the resort and talked with the receptionist for a while, being able to rent a room for a while for a good price. I smiled and went upstairs while taking a single newspaper for me to read. 

I lied down on the bed, relishing in the soft, fluffy goodness of the mattress. 

'Finally a nice long rest eh, partner?' 

"Of course, I need this," I told my partner who turned to a  dog as I lied on my stomach and started to read my newspaper. Hmm... A kingdom celebrating it's a thousand-year alliance with Ignia. This is interesting.

It seems like an Asian country due to the designs of their clothing and architecture as well as their faces. So they summoned heroes of their own as well.  So the name of that kingdom or empire is Ryuuou. Dragon king in Japanese eh? I smiled as I finally found where to go next. I kept on browsing the newspaper while watching Wahrheit kill time. 

I smiled and kept reading. hmm? Luscinia, the largest human kingdom finally breaks through several layers of the demon kingdom territory. HUh? Neat. This victory was not possible if it were not for our heroes. Heroes? I looked at the newspaper and almost dropped it and my magic suddenly went out of control for a moment.

This is a joke, right? I stared at the picture in the newspaper with wide eyes. On it was a picture of a dragon humiliated, being used as an attraction for humans. I growled and gripped the paper hard. The dragon was healed of its scars and healed.

These stupid humans decided to throw away a warrior's medals because of their pride. I started to breathe heavily, my eyes felt like they were being burnt and my blood was boiling.

'What's wrong partner' Wahrheit asked me worriedly as he stopped playing by himself. I merely showed the picture and he understood.

The dragon that we both saw was big, as huge as a hill yet his scars were all but faded, healed to the point of disappearance. The dragon's chest was a sign on its chest was the sign of 'Friendship'. I glared and cursed. This dragon was stripped of its decorations for the sake of publicity. To show that the heroes were so 'benevolent' and kind. I sighed and removed my cloak.

I looked at my black locks. It's getting long. I should have it cut. I sighed and lied on the bed. I heard a song resound through the world yet ignored it for my rest.

"And so the guardian sets out armed with a blade unbound yet still bound, the skills bestowed by his mentor and friends, and a loyal companion on his side," A familiar playfully seductive voice said. The light dances around the figure to reveal a beautiful raven-haired female teen. She wears a beautiful white dress decorated with black ruffles and ribbons that reached up to her knees and had detached sleeves. Her pale skin contrasted with her raven-colored features yet they made her so alluring that any mere mortal men will turn their heads to her. A smile appeared on her face as she read a book on her lap while she sat on a throne decorated by different kinds of flora and fauna. 

"He travels the lands to fulfill his mission, to protect not save. He relishes on the pleasures of this world, as he moves from places to places. Yet, like all men, he seeks a reprive, and thus he chose a place to rest. A place where golden dust is uncountable, where silver dances playfully in the sky, as sheets of sapphire roar and clash with the gold, and where the winds carry songs from every corner of the world," She said as she looked towards a golden ripple that formed slowly. 

"You do know that it's rude to stalk people much less record what they do every day. Right fraulein?" I said as I once again appeared in this realm. I passed through my portal the shape of a golden ripple. "Why don't you make my ripples silver at least."

"Well, it allows me to know it's you," She giggled. "Besides, if you want me to change it then, I will need you to do some favors for me," She replied happily causing me to sigh.

"So, why did you summon me here? We only have our weekly get-togethers during Fridays," I asked her and she just motioned for me to sit. I sat under a tree near her throne. seeing this she pouted and left her throne before forcing me to lie my head in her lap. 

"I'm here to warn you," She said sadly. "The threads of time is unraveling, your journey will come to its turning point. Your destiny will be fulfilled," She said sadly while stroking my hair as tears form around her eyes as a sharp pain appears on my chest. I reached my hand to wipe the tears away and smiled at her. 

"I know what will happen and I don't blame you or the heavenly father. I took this duty of my own free will and I will do it. Even if I have to sacrifice everything that makes me human," I told her and she held my hand tightly. "But, I know that there will be people who will be able to pull me back," I smiled at her as I saw my family, friends, partner, mentor and my loyal companion, Wahrheit. "Of course, you are one of them," I told her and she merely smiled at me happily as tears of joy fell from her eyes. I smiled but it soon disappeared causing me to sigh,

"Our time is up," She said sadly as I stared at Chrona. "I will always be here. After all, I see you in a dance of blades with a group who will help you," She said with a smile as I looked at my body slowly disappearing in bright silver motes.

"AT least you got the colors right. See you later Chrona," I told her with a genuine smile as I saw her waved at me and once again I was pulled to an abyss of nothingness.

__________________________________________________________________________________[REAL WORLD]_________________________________________________________________

I was woken up by the familiar sound of metal hitting metal and the familiar spike of magic in the air. Sighing, I changed my clothes to a short-sleeved button-up shirt and a pair of shorts. Putting my gear on the closet and locking it with the chains that I summoned. I went outside and put on a cowboy hat ignoring the stares that I got from the people around me and ordered a cold beverage and went outside with Wahrheit by my side.

I smiled as I watched dolphins playing and rubbed my partner's head. I smiled and sat down a reclining chair under a parasol and drank my drink while laughing at my partner's antics.  hmm? I stopped relaxing and looked at a pair of girls who played with him. One has long black hair and one has short pink hair? Wow, it must be a bizarre birth. I smiled as they played with him and laughed when Wahrheit got dunked on the sand and was knocked out. Soon the girls got worried because he can't move so I went to them and kicked the still buried companion of mine. 

"How dare you!" The pink-haired girl said and suddenly both of them were surrounded by a bright light and they now wore gauntlets alongside their swimsuits and on their hands were katanas.

Suddenly Pinkie appeared in front of me, katana about to stab me. Eyes widening and reacting on instincts I leaned back and kicked her away, landing on my back I stood up and leaned to the side to dodge blackie's sword slash.  Scheisse! They are fast. I can't get close to Wahrheit, so I took a familiar handle from a small golden ripple and drew my reliable chain whip. 

"I don't know what's your problem is but if you attack me then I will fight back," I said and cracked my whip as I felt my eyes burn slightly. 

"I should be the one telling you that! after you kicked that poor dog!" Pinkie shouted at me eyes full of rage.

"What's the point of that? I'm here to relax and have fun, and kicking him while he's down is one of the things that I enjoy," I said nonchalantly as Blackie behind me pointed her katana on my neck.

"So, kicking the weak makes you feel happy and relaxed huh?" Blackie said, her bangs shadowing her hair as the air felt cold. I froze as a pressure tried to push me down but I smirked and felt my eyes burn more. "Then suffer!" Blackie shouted and swung her sword to my neck and Pinkie tried to stop her but was shocked that when the blade made contact, the sound of metal hitting metal resounded in the air.

"Those are beautiful eyes that you have there Blackie," I said smiling at her, her katana covered with the chains of my chain whip and was stopped by few millimeters from my neck. the two girls froze as I looked at them seriously. they both glared at me as I jumped away from them and kicked my partner to wake him up but to no avail. 

"Kono yarō!" they both shouted as they charged at me. I smirked and did something that shocked them both. Magic surrounded me and I grabbed my partner and pulled him out, twirled it around me and transformed to his longsword form. I then used Wahrheit to block the girls' katanas.

"Yare yare daze," I said as their eyes widened. I tipped my hat towards them letting them see my eyes and smirked. "you girls are good," Pushing them away and jumping back, I pointed Wahrheit at them and said, "now shall we dance Damen," and charged like a wolf towards the swimsuit wearing samurai. 

I jumped and flipped to increase my momentum and slammed my sword towards them and spun around using my large blade to make me spin, but they both dodge them but without any injuries as they were hit by the back of my blade. I saw them move and immediately was on the move, sword behind and chains catching the blade of a katana but were hit by a kick to the face of Pinkie and a cut on my arm by Blackie. grabbing my face in pain I smirked and pulled my sword back, let them both charge at me and when they were about to hit me, I swung my sword normally and blocked their strikes and pushed them back with my sword. 

"Ho! you guys are good. But, I can't fight you normally like this," I said as I grabbed the blade of my sword and they looked at me in shock. I grabbed my sword and let it cut my hand to draw blood.

"What are you doing?!" Pinkie shouted at me her eyes widening as BLackie tightened her grip.

"Will you kill yourself," now that got me laughing. 

"I'm just evening the playing field jou-chan," I said as I held the sword parallel to the ground and let the blood drop to the chains on the crossguard. A large 'click' was heard and the chains fell and when it hit the ground and produced a large dust cloud as I felt my eyes burn once again.

_______________________________________________________________________________

What is this guy? 

I thought as I saw him kicked the dog? that we were playing with earlier.

I was angry and saw that Mao-chan also summoned her katana and exchanged a few words with him that got both of us angry. I charged at him my katana aimed to cut him but he was able to react and dodged before kicking me and jumping away. I was once again surprised as he was also he was able to dodge Mao-chan's slash. Whos is this guy.

Feeling the familiar hum of magic, this one has the feel of a peaceful summer morning under the shade and a soft cool breeze, I saw a small golden ripple appear near his hand and got ready. If he was just like Mao-chan and I, then he was also summoned from another world and was given an ability. I saw handle come out of the ripple and was reminded of a certain king. he asked what was wrong with what he did and I just can not believe him. 

"I should be the one telling you that! after you kicked that poor dog!" I shouted at him, eyes full of rage.

"What's the point of that? I'm here to relax and have fun, and kicking him while he's down is one of the things that I enjoy," he said nonchalantly as Mao-chan who was behind him pointed her katana on his neck.

"So, kicking the weak makes you feel happy and relaxed huh?" Mao-chan said her bangs shadowing her hair as I remembered something from. "Then suffer!" I heard Mao-chan shout and saw her swing her sword to his neck. I ran towards her but was too late. 

"NO! MAO-CHAN STOP!" I shouted, trying to stop her but was too late, I saw her katana's blade about to hit the guy's neck but was stopped with mere millimeters by chains that were wrapped around her blade. My eyes widened, this man was able to use magic and also has insane reflexes.

"Those are beautiful eyes that you have there Blackie," he said while smiling at Mao-chan. I froze as he looked at both Mao-chan and me seriously. I glared at him

"Kono yarō!" I charged at him intending to cut him up and turn him to a fillet. He smirked and did something that shocked me and Mao-chan. Magic surrounded him and he grabbed the dog? Still burried on the sand and it transformed to a long sword. He then used it to block our katanas.

"Yare yare daze," he said as he tipped his hat towards us letting us see a pair of dark eyes that glowed a bit and with a smirk. How? That was japanese! It can't be! He's. "you girls are good," I was Pushed away along with Mao-chan and he jumped back. He pointed his sword at us. "now shall we dance Damen," and charged like a wolf towards both of us.

HE jumped and flipped to increase his momentum and slammed his sword towards us and spun around using his large blade to make him spin, but we both dodged them but without any injuries as we were hit by the back of my blade. I resolved myself and nodded at Mao-chan and we both charged at him and swung our swords at him. he Was able to catch my blade with chains that appeared from golden ripples and block Mao-chan's slice at his back with his oversized sword.

but he was hit by a kick to the face and a cut on his arm by Mao. He grabbed his face in pain with a smirk, he pulled his sword back, let us both charge at him and when we were about to hit him, he swung his oversized long sword sword normally and blocked our strikes and pushed us back with his sword.

"Ho! you guys are good. But, I can't fight you normally like this," he said and I felt proud as he praised me and then he grabbed the blade of his sword and I looked at him in shock., How can he still move, I'M SURE Mao cut his arm so it can't be used properly. He grabbed his sword and let it cut my hand to draw blood.

"What are you doing?!" I shouted at him my eyes widening as Mao tightened her grip.

"Will you kill yourself," the question from Mao made him laugh.

"I'm just evening the playing field jou-chan," he said as he held the sword parallel to the ground. I tightened my grip on my katana and breathed deeply, summoning my magic to pritect me and Mao did the same. He let the blood drop to the chains on the crossguard. Suddenly it was as if the world stopped and a loud 'click' was heard and the chains fell and when it hit the ground and produced a large dust cloud.

I coughed as dust and sand surrounded me and I can barely see a thing, and when the cloud dissipated I can't help but feel awed, for the man who stood before me was the same as me.

He stood, his tatooed symbol of a clock covered in chains and the roman numeral 12 on it lresented proudly on hi chest, his hat now blown away by the sheer aura he was producing, I looked at the ground and saw that a crater was formed as the blade of his sword lied down there. I looked at the man and saw his black hair wave gently as the wind danced around him. A silent song that tells the truth hums to the air,and the most surprising was instead of dark of orbs, his eyes were now yellow flames that slowly burns brightly away and the aura of dread appeared once more.
