《The Mage who Walked through worlds》 Chapter 1:Walking through worlds The moon hung over the night sky, but instead of the peaceful and elegant wind blowing through the woods all I hear is the angered screams of the masses. Chained, tortured and now I am to be burned at stake. I was seen as a sign of hope, the light in the dark path of the mages but this is what has become of that light. Chained in the tunnel and sealed never to be seen again. As I look at the large crowd of people at the front screaming for my execution I unintentionally let out a sigh. I have failed the expectations of all my friends and family. Everyone not only them but everyone just like me. All those lives that were sacrificed just to protect me the hope they had for the future. Is not facing the same fate as them. I have magic eyes that I got since I was a child and using them I could clearly see the few number of people sobbing in the crowd hidden in the shadows. Those few people who survived with me are now hiding, yes... this world has started a witch hunt and brutally murdered everyone who knew magic. From the parish priest to the shrine shamans to even the person who just held a talisman. They were all caught tortured and burned at stake. "LOOK AT THE MONSTER THAT STIKED FEAR IN OUR HEARTS AS HE TURNS TO ASH, BY OUR HANDS!" That voice... yes I remember he was the guy who exposed us and helped us get into the society a few years ago. I can''t remember his name... I wanted to befriend him but I guess that he didn''t want to have a society where people like me were present. So that was all just an elaborate plot to lure us out and exterminate us from the face of the earth. I hate him... I really hate him... I only I could cast a spell right now... But it seems he found a way to suppress magic... no I remember he... no... He is not a regular human... I remember he''s like me! He''s a warlock! no if I remember he''s... he''s a... necromancer. "You will be a perfect pawn in my plans, kukuku" I remember that night when I was caught. I saw my parents walk into the my house, they were perfectly well and nothing was wrong but they... yes I remember now, what he wants to do. Although I hate this world and despise it this is... "Hea..." "hmm?" It seems he heard me, shit! I didn''t think he would have such strong senses. Is it power up magic or auditory or telepathic magic? Anyways even if it''s just a useless gamble I hope he doesn''t think that this is an incantation. "Heaven" He looked at me with a grin, ha... it seems he understood my thoughts and plan guess I will end up a puppet by this monster... I''m sorry mom and dad? I thought as tears streamed down my cheeks. So it seems I could still cry I haven''t dried up my tears yet. "THE MAN SEEMS TO BE CALLING FOR GOD!" Wait! I think... this is a chance, though I can''t use magic... I still have that spell... while he starts mocking me I continue the chant. "Heaven''s will and Hell''s decree... the spirit shall not roam free... in the abyss he shall fall... in... exchange he shall... summon the end of all... [HEAVENS FALL!]" I screamed the last words at the top of my lungs after which a strange power encircled me... this is the darkness of the abyss and from the sky a rain of light fell to the ground. The earth in response rumbled and pillars of flame shoot towards the sky. The pillars of flame burned everything in sight but they did not burn the innocent this time. The light of judgement that fell to the ground healed the injured and freed the undead. Then after which the light focused on my target and the flames converged with the light, the result was... a white flame. The flame that burns and purifies all. This is the first spell of judgement [Heavens fall] with the sacrifice of blood and magic the heavens shall along with the underworld shall deliver punishment on the sinners. This spell should be one that would help me but I... am not clean as I have sinned and now along with the man I shall fall into the abyss. The flame enveloped him and mournful screams resounded as the darkness took him away, soon they came towards me and were swallowing slowly... I took a final glance at the people. They were all awoken from the spell of the necromancer a lot of corpses lay on the ground but among the crowd I see the people I wanted to see. They had a smile of gratefulness plastered on their faces as the bowed their heads to me. So this is... Goodbye... Darkness¡­ In front of me is only pitch black darkness, so this is the abyss? It really is what it was theorized to be huh. A space of utter darkness where nothing exist¡­ well considering I¡¯m here technically now something exist here right? Anyways now is this where I will stay forever? I don¡¯t particularly mind¡­ ¡°Ugh¡± I groaned due to the pain I suddenly felt, it¡¯s like a thousand spears are being stabbed into my head. ¡°Cedric...¡± ¡°Julius...¡± ¡°Drago!¡± ¡°Kelm!¡± ¡°Kagekazu¡± ¡°Erio¡± Various memories flashed in my head overlapping with the memories that I currently have¡­ Warlock¡­ General¡­ Priest¡­ Monk¡­ King¡­ Spirit¡­ Warrior¡­ Experiences and knowledge on various lines of work. The many tragedies and successes in the world. Wars, death and bloodshed¡­ Life and peace. I could see all of the things happening in my mind playing again and again, with the last being different from the next. I don¡¯t know how long it was I don¡¯t know how many there were but all those memories came with the knowledge and skills by each of those lives. I knew they were lives as I felt emotion in them, heck I even saw a time where humans were naked and wielded stones fighting each other. A time when man was at the mercy of the larger animals. I seen and felt it all, but the weird thing is normally looking through memories¡­ one should not feel the emotion in those times. I know because I used similar magic but then¡­ I have a thought but I don¡¯t think it¡¯s right¡­ I mean that could not be impossible¡­ I am a mage and I use magic but there¡¯s no way that something like that exist. Well it was in the practice for countless years but it was already abolished and seen as a conscience in the last 100 years¡­ ¡­ No¡­ this already proves it right? I mean that a soul exist, the concept of a soul was seen by many even us mages as something that exist only in the head of people. The soul and all those other irrational things like god and deities are all things of myth and are simply a product of human imagination and reasoning. But then if I remember in my studies in magic arts I came across the process of nirvana¡­ in that, this could possibly be it. The memories that came to me are all those of my past lives and all those feelings comes from deep within my my soul. The feelings that were locked away and not lost, the memories that were sealed and not erased, this¡­ is the greatest discovery in the history of mankind. ¡°But even so the fact remains that I am still locked away in the abyss¡± Is this a blessing or a curse? Locked away with all these knowledge which could change the world¡­ no the universe is locked up deep in the confines of darkness. If there is a god then that would mean that this is the secret huh¡­ What if I escape and find myself in another world will it be similar to the opening of pandora¡¯s box or Eve eating the fruit of eden? Well in any case I lost a lot of my feelings¡­This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. That¡¯s all I could say, if anything all I have in my mind right now is a second chance at life but that would be while I have my memories with me. ¡­ ¡­ ¡°Gate of the end...¡± I muttered, I don¡¯t know if I have a transparent spirit like body or if I even have a body floating but all I know is that if my face were to be seen I would have a very joyous expression on my face. Well then let¡¯s begin my revival¡­ ¡­ The darkness slowly distorts, I am currently amassing energy from this space, there may be nothing but I can feel that there is a power here, a kind of power that ultimately shouldn¡¯t exist. Soon cracks begin to form in the space, the cracks had a faint light shining from them¡­ now should be the right time. I focus my mind on a single crack in the darkness and begin chanting ¡°The door that locks away the monsters of eternity¡± It¡¯s faint by I feel my conscience wavering¡­ no this is not the end I will continue... ¡°powered by the forces of darkness that roam free¡± I feel my body now¡­ but it¡¯s heavy¡­ really heavy... ¡°I bend the laws against the universe''s decree¡± My chest¡­ ¡°Open!guah¡± Blood? This means I already have a body right¡­ time to finish this! ¡°The path of the free¡± [crack] Numerous cracks appear here and there, some of the parts of the darkness even began to falling of.. ¡°Gate of the End!¡± With that the darkness in front of me broke like a glass window. Taking the chance I jumped out and just like that the gate that opened closed in the instant I went out. It¡¯s a good thing that I reacted immediately. Getting out what greeted me is a space of pure chaos, the colors were all mixing and converging on each other and the light was really bright for space. More than that everything has a bright color but nowhere is there black, not even a shade of black was present. I then checked my condition. [thump] I feel my body although heavy I have a body¡­ I checked and if anything it¡¯s incomplete. I have a body but then all I have right now is a heart and nothing else, no blood no nothing. The heart continuously beats but only air passes through. I see¡­ then I should create one with the energy in this space. The colors these are all different forms of energy but as a mage I would call it magic. In any case this is what would make the rest of my body. The energy forms my figure it seems that the soul will be the catalyst for my new body. Soon the energies fully envelope my soul and started merging but then¡­ [thump] My heart started racing and the energy which was originally flowing smoothly started rampaging all over. [thump] The beating got faster and stronger putting stress on the energy and my soul. Then as if running away the energy returned to the space leaving my soul. Though the energy was lost my body was slightly formed only¡­ The heart grew veins and arteries that went all over my body. My hands were formed but it was weird staring at them that was formed with only the blood vessels. I tried touching them against one another and surprisingly I could feel them. Then I immediately touched my head and yes there was already a brain. To have a sense of touch means that I already have a brain and I could just imagine what I look like now. Then I checked my eyes and they were also there everything, lungs, liver, stomach eyes, intestines all my organs were present without bones, skin and the muscles that should cover them. Though those are not present some force was holding the organs together as if there was nothing missing. But the most surprising and disturbing thing is that these parts are all black, not simply black but the same black that colored the darkness of the abyss. Goin in deeper it appears that even my blood is colored the same. It seems like the energy of the abyss and this space is like heaven and hell or good and evil, technically they are polar opposites but then they should attract right? But for some reason they repel each other. Oh I remember now, I don¡¯t know when but it seems that in one of my past lives, I found two energies like these. Not the power but that the two energies were polar opposites that repel each other. If I remember correctly when I made the two energies mixed¡­ Oh yeah that was when I created the forbidden spell [Obliterate], though it turns the targets to nothingness there is a great price and if memory serves me right when I used the spell I died ultimately losing the formula. But now I remember it but more importantly I remember that it was possible to merge the forces together but that takes a considerable amount of energy and also the merging would release a powerful wave of energy that could destroy me¡­ well it¡¯s all or nothing. I scan my memories for what I did to merge the energies¡­ and so it was like that. To merge the two opposite energies the reason for their repulsion will first have to be removed, but it could also be forced. What I did before was force the two energies thus creating the forbidden spell, but if I remove the reason for repulsion then I could theoretically stick them together. Now taking in the properties of each of the energies into account the reason that they would not attract is because the dark energy from the abyss is a single energy that can¡¯t synthesize with any other energy. While the other energy is a collection of multiple other forms of energy. In other energy is to formed because all other types of energies could bond together as a whole in this aspect the dark energy can¡¯t bond to anything. But the dark energy could not bond it could corrode the other energies. The dark energy could consume the other energies and turn them to itself, like a virus. Thinking with that it seems that I could only use this dark energy in the end huh¡­ wait¡­ if that were the case how did the world not be consumed by this dark energy? If the dark energy consumes then the whole universe would be the abyss but the universe is forever expanding no¡­ there must be something that makes the two energies coexist¡­ Energy¡­ Coexistence¡­ Space¡­ Abyss¡­ Void¡­ Wait these two energies reside in two different spaces¡­ the void and the abyss. In these two spaces the energies reside in their pure form in large quantities. Assuming that these two energies live her then the universe could perhaps harbor these two energies. If that¡¯s the case what made it possible? Energy is like mana, mana is what is used in spells. To cast a spell one would need to use mana and to use mana the person must be able to feel it. Through imagination and already made laws and spells that¡­ Laws¡­ Ancient magics and other old magics that require chants are all made by people in the past. By sensing mana one could manipulate it. But the ancient spells all had descriptions but none could use them without doing the incantations. The incantations in other words would already be a system that was placed in the universe and the energy. In that sense the energy would be ¡°programed¡± to adhere to the spell casters chant. By that concept¡­ I could possible merge this two energies. Wait then does that mean that a mage created the universe? That the god many worship is actually a really powerful mage? I don¡¯t need to think anymore about that what matter now is that I could create the body or not. Then Without making the two energies make contact control it¡­ Okay now the first one is the dark energy, if I want them to merge how do I do it? Well first of all try to control it¡­ I picture in my mind the dark energy moving out of my body turning into a ball and float in front of me¡­ A few moments later a dark ball the size of a baseball came out and floated in front of my face, succes! Now time for the other energy, when I concentrated on the other energy the black ball returned to my body. The energy similarly did the same thing and floated in front of my face having the shape of a baseball. Now to test it. I willed a ball of dark energy to form and float whilst I kept half of my mind controlling the other ball of energy. The ball which had a distorted rainbow pattern and the black ball floated beside each other and I can already see the repulsion between them. Now I wiled the two to bond, the two balls try to merge but the repulsion created sparks and soon the energy between them exploded and made me lose focus. The two balls disappeared and everything was back to the start. How could that happen? What should I do? Thinking about it there was a concept like that in my world¡­ yes the yin and yang! What if I made the two energies like that. Yes! that ¡®s it, until now I thought and pictured the merging to be the dark merging into the pattern of the other energy. I didn¡¯t think of the two energies as two completely separate entities but the dark energy to be a form of energy while the other a collection of energy. I only thought of adding the dark energy into the collection. Now with a new image in mind and new found motivation I once again try to merge the two energies. When I do so both energies deform and move toward each other. There is still repulsion but even with spaces I made the two energies form the shape of the yin and yang. I made the energies swirl and with that the two energies seems to slowly move together and the repulsion was not increasing but slowly disappearing. More¡­ More¡­ Just a little bit more¡­ and¡­ [boom] Another explosion this was stronger than the last but since I am currently part of this world and technically one with the energy the force of the explosion barely injured me and my new organs. But that explosion a while ago¡­ Contrary to my expectations what caused it was not the other energy but the dark energy. The other energy seemed to be accepting the dark energy but the dark energy seemed to repulse it¡­ Looks like I will still need to research more but staying in this place would be¡­ boring. Well I guess I will need to use dark energy to create my new body huh¡­ It didn¡¯t take long to form the dark energy body and once again contrary to my expectations the color of my body was not pure black. The skin tone was similar to of a vampire, pale white. I don¡¯t know what I look like but judging from my stature and the shape of my face it seems like my body is that of a twelve year old. Trying to remember¡­ ¡°ugh¡± I groaned as I held my head. Trying to remember certain details on my life even the most recent one made my head hurt. When I created my body I lost a LOT of my memories but the knowledge of magic sword and everything else was perfectly imbued in my head. Technically if I were to see someone I know(which is very unlikely) I would not react to him even if he were to call out my name. ¡°Aaaaa¡± I test my vocal chords and it¡¯s functioning properly and like I thought the voice had a higher pitch than a normal adult man so this body really is younger. In any case I guess it¡¯s time to go to some world huh¡­ What was that again that spell¡­ got it! ¡°Breaking the wall of reality, walking through space and time, open a gate to another world [Gate of Hope]¡± After my chant a straight line extended from somewhere and rose up. The line turned to a rectangular opening, it was a gate on the other side I don¡¯t know what would appear. The gate only opened to a random space, the magic is supposed to open a gate to the nearest world or if there is some sort of summoning. A summoning would pull out anything from another world but most of the time it pulls out something travelling through worlds so I should appear anywhere. But if anything I would really like it if I wasn¡¯t put through the problematic summoning. Well it is good if I become something like a hero but then again I really only want to continue my research and live a better life¡­ what is this thinking about a peaceful life, having friends you can trust and having a family, why do I feel happy and excited when I think of myself having those kinds of things? It maybe something that happened in my previous lives anyway on to the new world. Chapter 2: A new world and a fated encounter When I went through the giant gate I felt a strong force pulling me, though I¡¯m not sure what it was this could only be one thing¡­ hero summoning. ¡­ Opening my eyes what greeted me is an unfamiliar ceiling and a large magic circle. In the circle is about 40 to 50 young men and women who looked to be at least 15 years old. Outside the circle are 20 old men wearing white robes. If this is really a summoning then these old men are all mages and apparently planned to conduct a large scale summoning. ¡°It work¡± One of them said as he breathed a sigh, the language was a bit hard to understand but I do get the gist of it. What¡¯s shocking is not that they were able to cast such a large scale magic at their age but the fact that the language they use is one of the ¡°Ancient languages¡± in my past world. In all there are about 20 languages in the category of ¡°Ancient language¡± but there is a higher form of languages known as the ¡°Lost System¡± they were named as such due to the languages having various systems that interconnect. The number of lost systems amount to more than a thousand but the amazing things is that for some reason they all have interconnections. If I were to say they all were different but their essences were practically unified. The good part is that I, having all the knowledge accumulated in my many lives know every bit there is to know about the Lost System. What relevance does it have? To say the least most forbidden and ancient and lost magics are all in, obviously ancient and lost languages. The more important thing is that unlike the usual spells that are forced into the world''s system by many a mage, using the languages it is a lot easier to cast magic with chants. To put it simply, ancient magic and lost magic were mostly already a natural part of the world of magic whereas forbidden magic are forcefully put in the system. Forbidden magics include the two spells that I used in those spaces. In any case other than thinking about things like this it is better for me to do as the crowd does. When I put my mind back into reality the others seem to be waking up. Well to say the least unlike me who was pulled during travel these people were forcefully pull out of their worlds so passing out or falling to the ground was natural. When everyone was awake they all fell into confusion, there was one person there who seems to be the teacher. ¡°Everyone calm down!¡± Using enhancement magic she silenced the mass of students. That was shocking as I thought that they wouldn¡¯t know a thing about magic but it seems the teacher was a mage. Well, it¡¯s not like my world was the only world in the universe. Then the teacher looked towards my direction, she seems to have felt some of my mana. Though I am proud of my mana concealing abilities, for her to see through me is an utter shock. ¡°You¡­ you¡¯re not a Saint Rose Academy Student¡± She said as she looked at me full of hostility. Of course I noticed since a while ago but it looks like these people all belong to the same school. They all wore the same white uniform, slacks and a blazer for the boys and a short skirt with a blazer for the girls. And all of them have the same white rose badge at the right side of their chest. ¡°Well I am not but I seem to have been pulled with the summoning¡± I answered with full honesty, if she were a second rate magician or less I would have lied to her but since she looks to have some degree of skill I¡¯ll tell her the truth. Also she is a beauty, looking to be about 20 years old she has beautiful red hair that stretched to her waist and a pair of crimson eyes that stare straight at your soul. If I had my previous well developed body of a man then I would really make a move on her even in this situation¡­ alas since my body is that of a boy 12 years of age I would be no more than a kid looking for the love of an older sister or a mother if I were to approach her. But she is still full of hostility even if I have the body of a 12 year old am I that scary. Though I don¡¯t want to brag but I am pretty sure my looks when I was twelve years of age was cute, but that may just be my family and friends overly praising me. In any case what would bring her to feel hostility towards me? ¡°I don¡¯t know how you did it but sneaking into Saint Rose Academy is tantamount to capital punishment!¡± ¡­ Oh I get it now! Since she¡¯s a mage she knows how a summoning works. Going by that the principle and the effects she would know. Of course you would summon at random but the summoning would normally only involve one area. And when using this large a summoning their whole class would have been summoned, but going with that it would be strange for someone not from her class to be summoned with them. In the end she see¡¯s me as an intruder to the Saint Rose Academy and since it would normally be hard to enter an academy especially for an unknown child such as myself she could only conclude me as an intruder. Adding to that amongst all the summoned I was the very first one standing and she as the teacher would¡¯ve noticed this and of course started to direct a hostile gaze towards me. The last one is the fact that I am a child and yet I am not surprised with this current chain of events. Though a twelve year old must have a mindset to be able to react calmly when he is suddenly brought to a place such as this it is pretty standard to cry or overreact. Also looking at her students, some of which are shivering some weeping and most curling up trying to deny that the situation was real. ¡°Speak!¡± She looks to be preparing an attack magic I¡¯m sure with how the mana around her is concentrating but¡­ ¡°Please stop!¡± A deep voice resounded in the large room. ¡°Who?¡± I sensed his presence a while ago but it seems the teacher just noticed him now. Although I have a wild guess on who it is. ¡°Sorry, I am the king of this Kingdom Klaus Von Aurich, please to make your acquaintance heroes¡±If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. The middle aged man said as he lowered his head, following him the old mage''s similarly bowed their heads. ¡°So this is a Hero summoning...¡± I heard the teacher mutter these words quietly, though I have an undeveloped body for one reason or another my senses to my strength I feel that everything is considerably higher than average. If anything I think it is more than what my past middle aged body had. It might be the influence of the dark energy but that is not the main problem here. ¡°As you may have already guessed you have all been summoned here as heroes. I ask humbly of you to please listen to my¡­ no the human race¡¯s plea¡± Hearing his words the teacher had a complicated look on her face. As for me I already have a guess on what we are to fight. Though it may sound to fantasy like to a mage it is pretty normal, a demon lord or maybe a monster army. Any of the many enemies of mankind that may appear. Though dragons are one it is a pretty easy problem as an army could do something about it but armies of demons or monsters is an entirely different story. ¡°You¡¯re saying you want us to fight some abnormally powerful opponent or something like that am I right?¡± ¡°Yes¡± ¡°How are you so sure that we can do it¡± The teacher asks the king and with that he makes a difficult face but then straightens up immediately and answers. ¡°The summoning that was used was something that called for heroes of higher worlds to assist us, with that it is easy to tell that the summoned heroes would always have higher physical capabilities and magic capabilities than us¡± ¡°I see¡± The teacher answered like it was pretty normal¡­ I think that since you''re a mage it is pretty normal but your students¡­ wait I feel my head hurting¡­ ¡°Ugh¡± I let out a groan as I held my head and dropped to my knees. My sudden actions made the 20 mages, the king and the teacher to look towards my direction. To my actions the woman was making a face saying ¡°I knew it¡± and the 20 mages and the king all have curious expressions but some also had hostility within them. Then I closed my eyes due the unbearable pain and saw it¡­ A memory¡­ White walls¡­ a large hallway¡­ classrooms¡­ teachers¡­ praise¡­ friends¡­ rivals¡­ competition¡­ Love. I remember now¡­ Saint Rose Academy, if I¡¯m not mistaken that would be¡­ ¡°Hey¡­ ¡± With a feeble voice I called out to the woman. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Do you know a person called Alfred Woncaster?¡± With the many memories in my head all that is left is the knowledge of all the past lives. But there are very strong bits and pieces of my most recent memories and those are that which belong to Alfred Woncaster. Truthfully I don¡¯t know who I am anymore, memories of families and a multitude of feelings are overflowing in each and every event. It may be due to my mortal brain not wanting to comprehend these unstable and wild emotions that they were all locked up deep inside. But as many say it could easily be pulled out with a small push. And of course the memory of the wonderful life at the Academy and all the people I met as Alfred the most recent and unforgettable moments partnered with the appearance of someone from that school would of course spark the emotions deep inside. ¡°Of course everyone in the whole world will know the name of the person who saved the world a thousand years ago!¡± Her words left me shocked, I know that time passes differently in the worlds¡­ so I stayed in that darkness for thousands of years without noticing it huh¡­ Also looking at the kids and checking their mana I could already understand. I had a feeling that something was not right that since I saw these kids and I thought it was the hostile stare of the teacher¡­ So it turns out it¡¯s those huh¡­ The memories that should be left deep inside¡­ Huh... Tears? Why? Shouldn¡¯t I be happy that the mages were able to survive. My job is to create a path for the mages to survive in my world and it looks like I succeeded but¡­ Why? I¡­ Shouldn¡¯t I be happy, no this could be tears of joy¡­ I want to tell myself but¡­ my chest is unexpectedly heavy. Tears are dropping on the floor like rain. I think that everyone would be curious as to why I suddenly broke down crying like this but even I don¡¯t understand why. I look at the 15 year old kids looking at me, wait why do I call them kids? Shouldn¡¯t I refer to them with more respect? Like senior but when I looked at them they all seem to have returned to their relax and calm self. I stared at them for a while tears are still streaming down my face, and there I saw¡­ ¡°La-¡± I, with almost no strength left in my body raise my index finger and point at a single girl. She has long silver hair and a pair of crimson red eyes. She looked to be the same age as my current body 12, I didn¡¯t notice her a while ago but she looks like a girl I remember. Her weird appearance was due to a curse placed on her family. She was like me at that time¡­ a genius, we both skipped grades and were outcasted from the older classmates. Since we were alike we were always together¡­ that was until¡­ she died. I was shocked at that time we skipped grades and were friends since then. We learned and studied magic together we even made new spells together. I¡­ I fell in love with her. But when I was planning to confess at the age of 18 six years after our first encounter, she was called by her family and had to leave. I found out later that the curse only affected the first born daughter of her family and that she could only live in the world for at most 20 years. I wanted to meet her but was not allowed to. My family, the Woncasters are what you could call an important family so I had a chance to meet her but¡­ ¡°Alfred go away¡± Is what she told me before I even entered her room. I wanted to force my way in, I wanted to see her again, I wanted to be there for her until the end¡­ but¡­ that was one of my regrets, the greatest I had in that life. If I could undo time I would go back and tell her I love her¡­ but there is no such magic, there is time magic but that is only possible to pause time and speed up or slow down time for a certain being. There is no way to go back to the past of fast forward into the future. After I left the mansion I found out the next day she died in her sleep. The curse¡­ when the affected die their body would turn to ash and leave a crystal. That crystal held her memories and thus was kept by the family. But I was able to have a look at it once, and now I can clearly hear her voice echo in my head. ¡°Alfred, thank you for all you¡¯ve done, you made me happy. Especially that time you wanted to save a cursed beast by undoing it¡¯s curse. Though I know that to undo a curse is impossible when I heard you say it I feel a sense of security. It was like I can hope for the future that I could live be freed from this curse. If my thoughts are now being read by you I understand that I died too early but even so! Alfred you have talent and so much to do for the world. Don¡¯t let this pull you down, I know that you could become someone important so live your life to the fullest and tell me about your spell of happiness when we meet again¡± Her words kept me going till I eventually died, all I did was for the happiness of all the people mage or not. And it looks like it was successful¡­ Though looking at the young twelve year old in the crowd of 15 year olds¡­ A dream? This maybe a dream? Revival? Aren¡¯t all these impossibilities and now I see her¡­ this¡­ I forced myself to stand, as tears continue to fall I slowly make my way towards her¡­ She looked at me, unlike all the other students she looks at me not of fear or disgust but she looks at me with warm and understanding eyes. ¡°Lau-¡± For so long¡­ ¡°Lau-¡± I want to talk to you ¡°ra¡± I want to laugh with you ¡°Laura¡± I want to play, study and tell you¡­ ¡°I love you¡± And with those words my vision faded to darkness.
