Burning Soul

…

“So, why me of all people?”

While walking Aeneas asked Dimitri with a question mark on his face.

“My intuition, you can say!”

was his reply, vague as ever.

“Hya!

Do you really think you can shake me off by calling it intuition?

Anyway, was there something or you just dragged me into some crap for nothing?”

Aeneas asked as he scrubbed his hair.

After a moment of silence, Dimitri stopped walking in the middle of the path.

He turned and looked at Aeneas with his sharp look, “At first I wondered why you even bothered being with him, but whatever the reason is I hope you’ll see through it.

He has this very distinct aura of a certain being, something far greater!”

A gust of wind passed by as they both stood, Aeneas also sank in thoughts, “Isn’t it obvious that you wanted to see it for yourself, otherwise you could have gotten those weapons anywhere!”

Dimitri was being sharp with him.

“I’m surprised you figured that!

It’s true that weapons were not the only reason we are here,

I wanted him to train under Lumiere as he knows a thing or two about the skills he’ll be needing in uncommitted days.

If he takes Theo in for training, I’m sure we’ll both get our answers.

Also, I don’t want him to end up as a failure like me.” Aeneas replied calmly as ever.

“Well, I know you are up to something, though I have no choice but to let you hang out with us, why not check for yourself?” Hearing this Dimitri began to think about his choices.

“Well what harm will come to us anyways, also there is one more thing.”

When he asked, Aeneas nodded while shrugging his shoulders.

“Try not to engage with that other kid,

the one carrying your allies weapon,

His aura seems no normal.

I heard you went insane fighting him,

that won’t help, I believe there is more to the story than meets the eye. Give me some time, I know a few people with a history with Etherblade and Belphegor.

You are not the only one haunted by the past, right?

.

…

The environment got silenced again.

They could hear the wild animals howl in a distance; the moon was suddenly blocked by passing clouds.

“How can I hold back?

They are not even letting her rest in peace, even after dying for their sake!”

Aeneas had a difficult expression as he said so, clenching his fist.

“No one can understand your pain and suffering, but right now, think about what is at your hand and how to preserve it.

You might find a meaning to keep on living, not for revenge or truth, but for yourself and maybe, for someone’s sake too.

Looks like the night will be rough.

Let’s head back, we are to leave early in the morning, or he’ll sneak past us even before we get to him.”

The night surely was restless,

a cold breeze of wind passed by Aeneas as if a cold hand had touched his cheeks.

‘I will find answers Hina,

I swear I’ll find what happened,

and will surely end this nonsense for once and all’,

Aeneas closed his eyes while thinking.

‘I hope you’ll be able to find peace’ Dimitri looked at him with his half-closed eyes with a hint of sadness.

…

“Defallagus, he’s making a move!

What do you say of this Milo?”

Regis who was nagging Milo for all this time for not letting him get enough time to have a chat with his ‘fated one.’

“Let him do whatever he wants,

it’s none of my concerns!

As long as heaven’s peace is not disturbed, none of this is my concern.

And I’m not sure who you are referring to by the chosen one!

What do you even mean by the chosen one? What is this all about?

Don’t make any new sport in this situation Rigi.

I warn you.”

Milo stood from her chair and stomped her staff on the ground to cause a heavy rumble,

enough to shake off Regis from his seat.

Even though she had the physique of a small girl, her strength was nothing to underestimate about.

“Oops!”

Valkyrie had never seen her getting so angry ever and was worried that Regis might get involved in some kind of fight.

“I get it,

But I’m not making any sport out of it,” He looked at her with his firm eyes and continued,

He stretched his arms and shouted, “This is fate!,

The game of fate has already begun,

Dices have rolled out, all the pieces are coming together with one after another,

...

whether you want to play or not.

If you are going to sit here and just keep watching, I wish you a stroke of good luck cause one day all this havoc will drag the fight from the primal plane to up here and you’ll be the first one to feel guilty about it.

Don’t think that all the gods are The Gods you once knew,

The rule that a god can never do wrong no longer exists,

I wonder who will be the first one to show their true colors”

...

Saying this he got up from his seat and started walking,

after taking a few steps he turned back to look at her,

“Also,

You are not the only one who knows a way to take a stroll on primal land,

And I’m not the only one who is seeking that,

Milo!”

“You…” Milo was filled with ange
