Arc 2 - Prologue: Hiroshige - Evening Snow at Kanbara
"Commander Zehir, master Higeki, we have report from the wasteland, Jyllad seem to building something in their base. It has been confirmed they are a high ranking organization hired by WORLD, what should be our next movement ?"
"What do you think, Higeki, should we do something about this ?"
"A very intesting case, but i don't think we need to silence them, making friend won't be a bad idea but who to make friend with is another problem. Jyllad is a part of WORLD but let's watch their motive first, i think this will be a turning point."
"Beta, your opinion ?"
"Not the time yet, not enough of data. It is the act of a fool to act without thinking."
"We commoner can't understand you afterall. Rho, keep working on spying them and don't let yourself get caught, we don't want you end up like Delta afterall."
"Speaking of Delta, how is he ?"
"Still have to recover from that one leg got broken, Oroshi seem to went so far to the point they break a leg of an 16 years old child."
"They used to be worse but it seem like they still fear us."
And that is what we want to kept, admiring or fear to dominate those who can change the future but the fear should only be a mere moment. Never conquer people's heart with fear, the admiration last forever but the fear will be your own destruction. Never conquer someone's heart with fear, sway it with admiration make them believe in the vision of your future. I think i understand grandfather a little bit more but i never think i can be filled with kindness like him. He maybe merciful but this is a new world, i will save the people of this world and to do that i have to unite their hearts, giving people hope. And the most important thing is to awake their long lost hope.
"Think of something, young master ?"
"I want to go outside for a while, just a little bit of magic from other world."
The cold wind and the snow dancing slowly from the sky ease my soul, maybe i can try to purify the air in the outskirt make it a little bit bearable. That remind me, the letter on grandfather's desk, maybe take a little peek is fine, the letter with the scent of lavender can ease any soul. The letter is thin and almost enticing, to think so much secret is kept behind that fragile layer of paper. So much secret inside my hand, can i truly prepare for the truth inside this envelope.
"(Tomoe, can you erase my memories if thing gone too far ?)"
"(If it is too painful, i will help you, sometime we should forget things too painful for our own mind to bear but i learned to accept the pain and i believe in you.)"
"(I fear the fact when i open this letter, i find nothing but the piercing truth, the truth that will haunt me forever. I fear the future and i fear the fact it will cost everything.)"
"(Even what will take away the future, our bond is everlasting. I believe you will return to Arborine and create a world bring happiness to everyone.)"
"(So, what do you believe will happen in the end ?)"
"(I guess we will travel the world, we sit together under an oak, you will tell me the tales of your journey. And we will continue to see the world, every dimension, the Salvatore will keep our home safe and we can travel everywhere, witness our world changed everyday.)"
"(I love that idea. Let's travel the world together, you can perform with your water manipulation while i play music, we can be wandering performer. Bring art and hope to every worlds.)"
"(Then we have to work toward that future, together.)"
"You out here, kid ?"
"Arih..."
The wind started to blown and the snow dancing in the air, we looking at each other but we all know that we are just try to co-operate for a better future. But it seem like Arih also know something the letter, his emotion is speak for himself already, the wind blow harder and i open the envelope. The words slowly fall into my sight, the letter with the mysterious person who called himself with the letter G.
"Dear my friend,
Our time is running out, the author's corruption is spreading and wanted to taking over every world. This corruption already destroyed ten worlds and it will continue to spread, the quill also taken by the corruption and deleting all worlds. I managed to put both of them in a deep slumber and it seem like Yhaovi did something to surpress him but it seem like that won't last long.
Please, i know i failed to protect him but please, for the future of all worlds, i need to aid again, maybe there is something in that world can purify his corruption. Please, except you i can't ask anyone, we have to erase the corruption before Kuoni lose himself into madness.
G."
G, this mysterious man again and even many other characters, Kuoni, Yhaovi, if they are the authors mean these are just like games to them ? How could them treat all of us like this, we are their creation or their play, their entertainment ? And who is grandfather, how could he touch such secret and having connection to being like the authors. How could i trust someone who even toying with our life.
"Calm down, Higeki, i know you doubt on the authors and think they are toying with our fate but they aren't. Trust me and believe in them, they suffer more than you know and their suffering is much greater than anything we know."
"No..."
"Please Higeki..."
"No, i won't allow anyone to control own fate, we have to be those who decide for ourselves. I won't trust those who want to control us."
"I am not allow to tell you this but to shapen your perception and avoid any disaster to happen i must be the one who tell you all of this. The authors can't control our fate, they can only create worlds, we have to decide how to change the world and decide our fate. The result of Altoris is the reason an author never allowed to control fate of creatures, giving a world too much will just end up destroy it."
"So who are you Arih ?"
"I came from a world destroyed by the disaster, his name is taken away in the great war of Hygenious where the second author - Orchust, the fourth author - Yhaovi and the fifth author - Kuoni sealed the disaster. Our world is destroyed so i came to this world with my family."
"I need a moment for myself. Even the one who controlled us is a part of this organization, that also explain why he demand perfection, foolish author demand perfection."
"I know you still conflicted but he changed a lot, but i know you need time but believe in the authors, they are much like you. They know they have power but they also know they have to control themselves, i hope you can forgive them soon."
How could i try to understand them, all my youth i fight against those who dare taking away other's freedom. Now, i have to give them sympathy ? But my journey on Arborine teach me, everyone have their own reason, right and wrong is matter of that person mind. Maybe try to understanding people would be the first step to change my point of view on these authors. But to trust these puppet master, isn't that something strange but the important matter is the solution for this world. A song to change people's heart, to awake the emotion in their heart and that will allow them to see the reality.
"(Tomoe.)"
"(Yes ?)"
"(Don't worry about me, i will be fine and i think i should be more like you, open yourself toward endless possibility. Is this strange, in this world you seem like my guiding star.)"
"(I will help you whenever you need so don't worry, i am your guardian spirit afterall.)"
I don't have to worry about anything, in this world i have the savant, in Arborine i have the Salvatore. No matter what happen, we can overcome anything, i can't do anything alone but witness this authors, we will do what you can't, we will save the world you abandoned. Never call myself a saviour, it is a title, a prideful way to call someone and a weight on their back but i will save this world to show you all, you are not control everything.
"So what is your next move young master ?"
"I will save this world and to do this, i need the help from everyone to bring hope back to the heart of people. Mind if i ask your commanding position in this Zehir ?"
"I always wait for this moment. Go ahead."
"Alright, Zehir and Beta can you take care of the forces that want to hunt me down, they must know about my presence in this world ?"
"They will conduct another attack on the library, guess we have to ask for their help."
"Their help ?"
"Are you sure Beta, he is still unstable and i am really worry for him, the last time we talk he just called him a coward."
"He is the only one who powerful enough and she believe him, don't doubt my calculation."
"Alright, i just don't want him to carry too much pain..."
"Who are we talking again ?"
"Our phi, we will meet him soon. What about omega, Beta ?"
"She still sleeping since the last attack, that power really exhaust her. Give her time. Anything else ? Young master ?"
"No, i really want sometime to look through Orchust old songs, maybe i can get some inspration from it or maybe not but i believe we can save this world, further plan will be decided later. And of course keep me updated about Jyllad."
This is not just a war we can win, this is a war we have to win, no one is abandoned, everyone deserve salvation. I will save this abandoned world not only to prove the authors that i am better than them but it is for everyone in this world. Can i ever be a saviour or i am just acting like one, but no matter what, people in this world need some hope in their heart and my song will be just perfect.
