"Over there!" A female voice shouted as a group of 5 was running towards a big gate as something was chasing them, it looked like angels but they were carrying spears and were shooting lightning type of bullets right at them.
"We just need to start that elevator and we're long gone!" A male voice then shouted as the group of 5 went on, but one went towards the lever to pull it down. Slowly the elevator started ascending, it was slow.
"We won't get on the top in time!" Another female voice said in a panicked tone as the group then prepared for their last stand.
"Don't!"
Then a male shouted as they grabbed his sword, it was glowing a orange type of flame that slowly started to become azure "You guys stay there, I'll hold them off"
The angels slowly started approaching the group. They started to throw the same balls of light, the man however parried it towards the angels, hitting the one who threw it to the group.Then he grabbed a revolver from his side pocket and prepared for a fight of his life "I won't let you have them you damn Angels!" An angel approached the male as the male then shot at it with his revolver.
Just a few seconds later, a white flash engulfed the male as he was now somewhere else, not near the elevator, instead he was at a place where there's dozens of rocks floating around the island he was in. He wandered around as he saw a fountain with what seems to be water but it was too bright.
He approached the fountain as there was some words carved into a stone tablet 'Thou shall pass down everything he ever wants, thy memories shall not be passed' Suddenly a piece of paper appeared on his hand. The male wrote his name. He then passed down the piece of paper down the fountain along with a katana of some sorts as it slowly was engulfed by it.
One final time, a white flash engulfed his sight as everything turned black.
Suddenly a boy woke up. He was wearing ragged clothes as he barely remembered how he came here. He looked around as he saw that he was in an inn laying on the bed. He slowly got up and walked outside a room, he then looked around only to see a man leaning on a wall at the left side of the door as he backs away.
"Oh hey you finally woke up" The man said in a deep voice as he had a grin "Quite a heavy sleeper aren't you boy?"
"Where am I?" The boy asked as he looked around.
The man sighed "Figured you would say that, you're in the Kingdom of Etris home of the finest people in the continent"
The boy was confused as he then walked outside the inn as he looked outside.
Birds were chirping cheerfully, the wind blowing on to the leaves as passersby were having a fun time walking around this Kingdom he was now in.
"Woah.." The man then grabbed the kid's shoulder "Come on, let's get you some clothes. You're looking like a Hobo" The man then started walking towards a smithery as the kid sooned followed.
"Oh yeah I forgot, do you remember your name?" The man asked as the boy then spoke;
"I'm..Umi Mizu"
The man was shocked just for a moment as he then coughed "Is there anything wrong?" The man shook his head "Nah nothing just wanted to cough cause my throat itched, come on lets continue"
They then arrived at the front door of the smithery as the man then smiled once more "Forgot to mention as well, you can call me Trenti"
He then opened the door as Trenti went in "Come on kid let's get you the clothes you need" Mizu then went inside as well.
"What's up Caragen my old pal!"
Trenti then approached the blacksmith who was doing something. The blacksmith stopped what he was doing as he looked at the person who greeted him.
"Oh Trent! How are you doing?" Both men hugged each other as they patted their backs "Yeah I wanted to buy some armor and probably some clothes and where could I buy it? Of course from the best of the best!"
The old guy named Caragen laughed wholeheartedly as he then started to look at his storage.
"Why are you getting some armor now? What, you wanna go back to the upper parts of Erisia?" Caragen then came back as he then brought out what looks like a Steel Pauldrons, a pair of Steel Boots and what seems to be a clothing of some kind as it had an arm in the middle as a design and what appears to be flame on it
"Actually I'm gearing up this little guy over here" Trenti then pointed at Mizu as the old guy nodded "So you're the kid who was saved by Trenti huh? What's ya name?"
The boy then spoke again "I'm Umi Mizu" The old man then was shocked as well as he eyed Trenti, the man in question nodded his head once as Caragen then grinned.
The old male approached him as he grabbed one of Mizu's shoulders "I'll be your blacksmith from now on ey? Give me a schematic and I'll make it for you"
The old man then smiled as he gave the clothes and armor to the young lad "Try them on, the fitting room is over there" Caragen then pointed at it as Mizu walked to it. Just a few minutes later Mizu walked out of the fitting room with his new armor and clothes
"Looking sharp there!"
Mizu then looked at his clothes as Trenti then approached him as he then gave Mizu a sword. Mizu looked at it, it didn't look like a sword more of a Katana of some kind as it had wave lengths as a design to signify it was kind of shattered some sort.
Trenti then went outside the smithery as he waved goodbye to the blacksmith.
Mizu then followed his lead "Come on" The big burly man said.
They then went outside the blacksmith and went to a bridge and looked at the sky and the town.
"I already know you want to be an adventurer, if you want to, I can teach you the basics"
Mizu smiled as he nodded repeatedly as Trenti laughed and pats his back "Hyperactive huh? Let's go kid!" The 2 slowly walked away.
As Mizu and Trenti were walking, they walked by a Statue of someone. Mizu stopped as he then looked at the statue as there were... Definite features of the statue"Hey uh... Trenti who's this statue about?" Trenti then stopped walking as he walks back a couple of steps "Oh, it's the Queen of Etris"Mizu then looked at the writings engraved onto the stone "Took hold of the place after the Lord eventually died for unknown reasons. The people don't mind at all nowadays, the queen is actually making peace treaties with the other factions unlike the Lord"Mizu then looked around as he noticed something unusual "Wait what? Why did everyone move to the sides""The queen has arrived!" A person shouted as everyone scurried to the sides as well."Come on Kid, let's not get in the way ya know" Trenti said in a hint of panic in his voice as Mizu just followed Trenti.Soon a carriage of some sort was passing through but instead of horses, it was knights with a black palette armor "Make way for the
As the carriage was being carried, a guard was walking at the same pace as they suddenly spoke; "So, Mizu was it? Think I heard that name before" The male guard said as they kept walking "You did?" The guard nodded "Think I remember my grandfather told me it, he was the person that strived to unite every faction if it costs his life" He then sighed, which concerned the male. "It's quite sad that he didn't make it out on the first-ever expedition in The Depths" Mizu then hummed. "I wish I can be like him, just being fearless to everything and trying to save everyone in every way he can" The guard grinned "I believe in you kid, you already look and sound just like him" Suddenly the carriage finally stopped as the guard opened the door for it. Mizu hopped off as he then looked around. "Anyway, you go down the slope and just keep going straight and you'll see the docks" He then closed the door "I'll see you around kid" Mizu then looked at him "What's your name?" The guard then fix
As Mizu and Amarico started walking in the temple, Mizu can hear the clanging of swords and blasting of guns "Wait what was that blast?" Amarico turned around to look at him as she then thought about it "If I remember correctly, the queen started giving out weapons called.. what was it? Guns, there we go" Amarico then shrugged "Etris, along with Isle's of Vigils has been gaining some treaties with the Summer Company lately so I guess it's because of that" Mizu finally understood "But hey, the ones who are actually using the guns are using mantra bullets, basically a weaker version of a real bullet" Mizu nodded "That's good to hear, thought someone might die due to that" The 2 continued walking to their destination, a big training room. There were all types of weapons there from Greathammers to Swords and to Daggers, the room was filled to the brim with weapons "Alright kid pick whatever you want I'll wait for you there" Amarico then went to the arena as Mizu slowly looked at the
"Tell me again on why I have to use this instead?" Mizu was looking at the sword he was holding instead of his regular katana that he used "You aren't still prepared to what Trenti gave you" Amarico then fixed her bandana as she then swings a full punch combo as Mizu looked at her "So were going back to Etris right?" Amarico then nodded as she waited for her bell to chime and form the circle to teleport to the palace of Etris "It's gonna be your first ever mission? Aren't you excited for it?" Mizu just shrugged "I don't know anything except the basic combat that you taught me so" Amarico then laughed as the bell then chimed "Oh there it is, come on! Get in before I leave you here alone" Mizu then stepped inside the circle as the two then waited to be teleported. Almost immediately they were engulfed in a blinding light in a matter of seconds as they were now in-front of the gate of the palace "Halt!" A loud male voice shouted as spears were pointed at them "Who are you?" Ama
"So this is Erisia?" Mizu looked around as there was a massive gate in-front of them. The trio looked around as there were countless ships awaiting near the small beach that they were on "There's so many boats..." Amarico then looked around "Strange... people mostly gather here to find some squads to venture into the upper parts... but.." She was quite confused "This is really strange" The queen, Ada, tried to sense something with her enhanced hearing but nothing was emitted from the silence "Nothing... We'll worry about that later, for now we need to get to the Duchess's Manor, we can't waste time" Ada then started to walk inside as the 2 followed suit, there they saw what seems to be like Megaloudaunt carcasses and bodies around the area "Jesus fucking christ!" Amarico stumbled back "What the fuck happened here?!" Amarico then looked around as she saw a male moving near a rock that has 2 slopes "Hey are you alright!?" Amarico and the crew rushed towards the slowly dying ma
As the crew was slowly approaching the Viper's Jaw, they hard shouting and crying as soon as they got closer and closer "You hear that?" Amarico said as she slowly crouched herself and used her Felinor ears to hear more clearly. "Yeahhh! Let's fuckin feed her to the Sharkos!" A voice said as a older voice spoke up "Hah! The sharko's would probably just stomp on her because she's a blind fuck" then suddenly the female voice that was crying suddenly spoke up "Please! I beg of you! Stop doing this!" She cried out loud "Shut up bitch!" The guy slapped the girls face as she kept on crying "I just want to see my brother again" The girl cried as she was covering her head As soon as Mizu heard that a flame of determination bursts out of his eyes as he gripped his sword tightly "So what's the plan" Mizu asked as he gripped the sword's handle with both of his hands as he looked at Ada and Amarico "Well, first off we can just go in guns blazing... They don't have that good weapons. F
Amarico picked up the dead bandit's body as she threw it down the huge cliff they were on as it fell down to the bottom, a splat was heard after."P-Please don't hurt me" The young girl that had a blindfold on said while protecting her head. She was cowering in fear.Ada then comforted the girl "Do not fret, we are here to help... What is your name?"Ada said lightly as the girl started to have tears leak from her blindfold as she started bawling her eyes out "Shh... It's alright, you're safe now"Ada kept on patting the girl to make her calm down.After a few more minutes, the girl stopped crying as she was wiping herself down with a handkerchief Ada gave her.She then bowed "My name is Kate... I-I'm a future blindseer" Amarico was then surprised"You have been in the depths before?" Amarico asked as Ada looked at her feline companion who asked the question"What do you mean by that Amarico?"Amarico then thinks of it "I've read some books and some of them state the Blindseers must e
After a minute or two, Kate stopped crying. Mizu approached her as she then sensed him, she looked at him with her blindfolded eyes but you can see it was damp because of her cries. Mizu then grabbed his pouch as he gave 3 flowers to her. He got it from the loot bag a while ago "Please, place it on his hands.." Kate nodded as she then grabs it slowly. She then grabbed her brother's hands as she opens his hand and placed the flowers there. She then closed it slowly and then moved his hands near his chest. Kate then stood up as she then looked at her brother's dead body, she hoped he moved on peacefully... Mizu looked around as he saw a sword that was near the body. He grabbed it as he then stabs it near the ground the body was to symbolize that he died with honor and pride "I'm sure he did pass on in a haven we would like to see and share..." Mizu said lightly as he pats her head. Suddenly Kate hugged him as she then tightened her grip. Mizu pats her head as she just kept hugging
