Burning Soul

"Well, let's get past that!

That isn’t important,

I am in charge of protecting that certain individual from any potential threat, though you may think why don’t I act on my own right?

And why talk with you? and seek your help!

What reason is behind me guiding you?” These were the exact questions he had in his mind,

“But you see,

even though I am ordered to do so,

there are times when I doubt her too,

she chose you and I don’t feel like you are the one!

For starters I don’t feel the resolve in you, the reason you are involving yourself in all this is so childish, I don’t want you to be what you will end up as.

Fate is always cruel on those who are not prepared

Tell me, what reason you have to continue?”

..

This was something he had heard recently, Lumiere, he was questioned with the same by him as well.

“Is saving my people not enough of a reason?” he felt it somehow irritating that everyone thought that he had no significant reason to fight,

He was putting a lot of lives on the edge, running away from hometown leaving behind that many people and their fate just like that!

No one should face such a dilemma, yet he was doing it!

Though his reply simply didn't satisfy anyone, not ever her,

“Hmm,

compared to that of the fate of the entire plane, all of its residents, it is really not enough, kid.

The path you are on will require sacrifice beyond what you can afford as of now, you are not ready yet.

For now, I have a suggestion for you!

Strengthen your will, make yourself stronger, be better than what you are now in terms of fighting abilities and willpower!

You need to work a lot on that one!

Then, once I feel like you have grown enough, we will meet again.

Only then you will understand what you are getting involved in, as the truth you think you know is neither entirely true nor it is whole!

You should judge it rationally as what you will face might change your view to the entire thing! And one more.

Once you leave this place head North-East, to the ‘Temple of Origins’.

There is someone who is waiting for you, someone who can change your and this plane’s fate, though you must understand, every step you take is full of responsibilities.

She will release some fate power in you as you have grown enough to handle some, with the time you will be able to gain more.

You know the one who I call my master is an entity who regulates the flow of Mana in Ley Lines across the entire plane, and well,

she thinks you are ready to receive some bonus!”

This was a lot of information for him,

But he got the basics of what he had to do next

“But won’t it be late!

I mean going out of course would inflict trouble on my people!

I can’t spend more time….”

Just now he was interrupted by her again,

“If you don’t, you’ll regret, Somethings are not to be ignored, kid!

At the end of the day, those things come together!

also don’t worry, your people are safe, For now!

Someone is making it sure!

There will be no more invasion from Hell for the time being!

If you head there, you’ll reveal more to what lies there,

and you’ll find some stones that you are looking for.

Just don't forget about that place!

Also, don’t forget to do what I’ve asked you and one more thing.

You must get a lot stronger before you collect all Tears of Oizys, you’ll know why as you travel.”

‘Someone is making sure my people are safe! What does that mean?

Mmm, it’s better than regretting later, there must be some reason such high figures are aiding us!’

“Okay then, I will certainly get stronger in here, and once out, we’ll head to the ‘Temple of Origins’.

When will I get to see you again, also why do you know me so well?”

Hearing him she walked closer to him and touched his cheek,

“I’ve been looking after you ever since,

through every happiness, through every sadness,

didn’t I tell you, I am a guardian, to both you and her”

As she completed this he felt a sudden pull, the next moment he was back to his tent in the forest and was being yelled at by Aeneas through the armament.

.

…

Back in there as she bid farewell, another person walked in,

“I wish I could touch him with my own hands once more!”

To this the Guardian replied,

“With this, I think I’ve paid back to you just enough to be considered forgiven, Milady!”

“How many times I’ve told you not to call me that, just Lira is enough, and I’ve never been angry at you to forgive, I should thank you for this.

With your guidance, I hope he’ll be able to face the cruelty of the fate that is awaiting him.

After all, I'm bound not to involve myself with him or mortal any further, but I'm a mother! How can I just sit and watch!"

As she replied her eyes inflicted a hint of sadness.

'Fate is cruel on those who are unprepared!'
