Arc Chronicles Calixte
Calixte ArcThere were two vectors of attack, the front door, and the side door. Both of them would no doubt be guarded, but Bian split us into two teams: Sasha, Rolo, and her would go in the front, while Alphonse and myself would try the side door."I'll take point. I have more mana."Alphonse nodded. "I'm not going to argue, my prince."Approaching the side door, I was surprised about the lack of snipers. As I grabbed the doorknob, there was... Nothing. No bullets, no shadow monster, no nothing.I looked back and Alphonse was still hidden behind the brush. He wasn't gone, he wasn't being attacked.I looked back at the door. I grabbed the doorknob and threw it open. A familiar wave of nausea washed over me and the world vanished in a spin.Emers Gallagher was nowhere to be seen and as far as I was concerned, that was good. Fighting for my life in the skies above New Siberia was bad enough, I didn't need my personal hunter there as well.We had pushed the Roslachnian Communist forces

Calixte Arc"I didn't mean to. Something hit me."Alphonse raised an eyebrow. "What? Were you daydreaming?... Your Highness," he added as an afterthought."No, I wasn't daydreaming," I said amused. "It was... I can explain later. We have to find that soldier-"The sensation hit me as the world spun again.As the sun came over the horizon, the dawn of the final push slowly arrived. I sat at the top tower, staring at no man's land that separated us from the New Serbian-controlled land.Someone else must have had access to that research. They were using it to attack me. I had... I had to get out of this.Alaska was beautiful. I wished I had got to see it before I had been reincarnated. I wish I had come up here to see it in this beautiful land in the other world, in a world where these lands were peaceful. A place where these lands wouldn't be soaked in a sea of blood in just a few hours.I could see my breath against the cold air as I breathed. My breath dispersed against the pale blue

Calixte Arc"A mental attack? I didn't think the Roslachnians would have a magician who specialised in mental attacks. If they had someone that talented, I assumed they would have taken them to the front to fight the Prussians.""One might hope.""Are you going to be alright? If they find us and you're suffering from the enemies attack."I was starting to get the hang of it. The gravitational force that seemed to be trying to keep me trapped was just a part of those memories. If I concentraited, they weren't as effective. The more I worked at it, the easier it became in freeing myself-They had barely escaped with their lives and once it was known that the Tsar had fled the country, his loyalist forces quickly broke up. Her home, the only life she knew, everything was lost to Tanya because one trusted general disobeyed. More than disobedience, he turned on them.That colored Tanya's life and she wouldn't be a disloyal soldier. No matter how much it killed her to obey the Office of Sec

She whistled low and quiet. As much as she hated to admit it, she was impressed. Her opinion of the boy prince, Calixte Arc, was improving. He had learned to control the dreams easier than she would have expected.If only Master Shadow could have taken that Commissar before Prince Calixte coule have gotten to him."Where is the shadow?" she asked one of her servants.The White Cloaked Man looked into the crystal ball and frowned. "It's in the far corridor, away from the soldiers. None of them of them have been stupid enough to approach it."Master Shadow nodded. "Good. I would hate for our pet to slaughter it's way through the defenders."She pointedly ignored the soldiers in the room as she spoke."Where is Prince Calixte?""With the first group, sire.""I see. Let's move the shadow. Though we must assume direct control."

Calixte ArcThe drag was still there, trying to pull me back. I had mastered it, but it remained. At first, I couldn't understand why. What was the point? Surely whoever it was recognized that I couldn't be trapped again.Not unless I was injured, or my ability to resist was diminished. Could that be it? Where they waiting for a soldier to shoot me? If they were, whoever it was wasn't going to be happy. I wasn't about to let a soldier shoot me."The soldiers have retreated," Alphonse said, peaking his head out of the cover. I hoped for his sake that he was supplying mana to his gem.The sensation was constantly there, prickling at the back of my senses. I wished it would go away. It may have no power, but it was annoying. I could even feel the connection back to whoever was doing it...The connection back to the castor. Could I reverse it? Or at least find out where they're hiding?"Alphonse, I need you to keep watch for a minute.""... Your Highness?""I told you to call me Calixte.
Arc Chronicles Shadow Master - Calixte
Shadow MasterShe watched as the prince blinked out of existence, not that he was truly there to start with. He had followed her mind back here, something she hadn't planned for. The boy was talented, but he was still new to the effects in the grand scheme of things. He shouldn't have been able to follow her."That boy." If she wasn't so furious, Shadow Master might have been impressed. As it stood, she was going to make him pay. He should have kept his guard up the whole time because she has a small point in his mind.With her shadow attaching him, the prince didn't have the time to stroll down memory lane. She'd throw him back into one of the memories he'd already experienced. Sure, he'd resist, but with that monster coming at him...She set the shadow to kill. She no longer cared what Emer Gallagher wanted. If the girl became a problem, Shadow Master would use the shadow to end her life as well. The Central Party couldn't fault her. Emer Gallagher was a hired assassin, nothing more
Arc Chronicles Calixte
Calixte ArcI couldn't do anything but watch as the shadow melted out of Alphonse's own shadow. At that moment, it truly looked like the grime reaper ready to begin its bloody work.The world turned to slow motion as the shadow swung its scythe. I aimed, looking down the sights at the monster about to reap my teammate.I channeled my mana into the bullet. I had to shoot now, or that thing would kill him- the world started to spin. No! Not now. I had to keep my eye on the prize and save Alphonse.I pulled the trigger before the memory could suck me in."You're probably right.""Calixte... Calixte and Tanya. Why are you so familiar?""Rolo, pin him down for me, will you? My arm's getting tired.""Roger."I took a deep breath and kept my arm in the same position. I closed my eyes and in an explosion of light, I was back in the real world.The monster cut through Alphonse's shoulder, but the wound didn't look deep. Or life-threatening. Alphonse fell to the ground, but that was just to rol
Arc Chronicles Calixte Arc
Calixte ArcThe enchanted bullet struck through the shadow, but I didn't have much time to admire my handy work. I thought I clamped down on my mind with iron, but the force drawing me back into my memories came back with a vengeance. The world swam again and drifted into the misty reality of my mind and my memories...Only it wasn't my memories. I could tell by the context of the misty world that there were memories. I was all too familiar with this state of mind now, but as the mist swirled around me and became solid form, I was in a room I recognized.Only because I was just there when I followed the source of these attacks back. This was the room of the woman who was orchestrating the memory attacks on me.She channeled her mana into the crest, watching as the Aquitaine team slowly surrounded the trap.As more plans landed and they were forced to retreat, the watcher brought her mirror up. She channeled her mana into it, creating a two-way reflection with her team."Commander.""W
