Part 3: Epilogue

"Who are you?" I asked the figure standing in front of me. He was a male, wearing a light brown jacket and was well muscled. He reminded me a lot of Hailbert - they had the same eye colour.

He smiled and took out a diamond axe. I stared at it, frowning. "It... looks familiar..." I muttered.

"Could you give this to Hailbert for me?" he asked.

Wordlessly, I agreed, taking the axe.

As soon as I touched it, I woke up with a splintering headache.

~~~~

I opened my eyes and found myself in an infirmary. My head and chest was bandaged up; anymore bandages and I would be a mummy.

Slowly, I got up with my hand on my head. Miraculously, I was still alive. I couldn't figure out whether I should be relieved.

I realised I was lying down on something and found the diamond axe that I got in the dream. I held it, feeling its weight. Heavy, but strong.

"You should rest," one of the nurses advised, noticing that I was awake. "You were hurt very badly."

"How bad?" I asked, touching my bandages.

"All of us thought you were going to die," the nurse said, frowning. "When Hailbert brought you in here, you seemed like you were already dead, but it seems that your willpower was keeping you alive, even if it was barely."

Willpower? I thought, looking at my hand. Feels like something else...

"Frost! You are awake!" Rose went into the infirmary with Hailbert following her close behind.

"I'm glad that you are alive," he smiled.

"Thank you," I said. "Oh, I almost forgot."

I handed the axe to Hailbert, who took it and examined it curiously.

"Someone wanted me to give you this," I explained.

"Who?" he asked, running his fingers over the strange markings.

"I don't know..." I murmured.

"Hmm... well them I said thanks," Hailbert said, keeping the axe. "Go and get more rest."

I nodded and they left me alone to ponder about the strange things I experienced. I took out my sword, remembering how it suddenly ignited with dark blue flames.

My gaze landed on a small marking on my sword. "Caeruleus Ensis," I read. Must be its name...

There are so many things I have yet to find the answer to... but one day, I'm sure, I will find out.
