The Betrayal Sword
ANOTHER DIMENSION
Empty,
dark, cold and without anything, that's where Yoshi is now, for a moment
after opening his eyes. Adjusting the light entering the cornea of his eye,
making Yoshi have to blink his eyes.
No
seen the road or footing, in front of him only black, trying to walk straight
relying on instinct but he found something strange every time moving
his feet.
His foothold
it doesn't look or feel but it feels like a normal walk. Instinct
continue to lead Yoshi to walk to find a way out and right after
walking for almost three minutes he finally found the door at the end of the road.
Before
reaching the door there are two symbols floating in front of him, namely the hourglass
and analog clocks side by side. Yoshi looked at the two things and thought.
Clocks
the sand? Analog clock? Wait why the analog clock is different as it shows
something, the long needle is on the number seven and the small one is on the number
three. He thinks
loud and remembered something, but he felt something strange was haunting ever since
being here.
Without
thinking long again, Yoshi entered the door with an analog clock despite hesitation.
The sound of the door being pushed up revealed a light blue mixed-colored wall
with white color that welcomed him.
“Wah,
there's a visitor passing by! I thought there wouldn't be anyone, how long has it been??” recited
the woman sits on a chair while counting with her clasped fingers.
Yoshi
confused by the situation before him, walking forward approached the pigtailed girl
two in front of him.
“Halo?”
yoshi asked in doubt as well as astonished because his face was very familiar but a sight
in the white room a little bluish.
Seems
I was lost and wrong in the room, besides his face is not foreign. What
I'm trying to ask you how to get out?
“Turnal
brother strayed yes, if you want to see Ageha-sama after arriving here
maybe you should go to the next room. For a while chatting with me
only, three minutes is enough.”
“Alleged
brother is right, I do look like him. Emm, my sister,” she added smiling sweetly. “Please
sit down, earlier introduce my name Kikiori, call me Iori.”
Yoshi
reply with a smile then sit on the newly provided round chair.
He traced the blue white room equipped with various shelves
on the right and left side filled with various forms of clocks on display.
“Kalian
both are the same,” muttered Yoshi while staring at Iori
Iorized
knitting confused eyebrows. "Yes?"
“I mean
the two of you are similar to each other, equally able to guess the thoughts before me
saying so, do you probably have the same profession as Ageha?”
I don't know
why was Yoshi interested in asking. From the beginning he always met
curious about this.
“Humm, ,
no. gabe. We are similar, but our profession is different. Ageha-sama as a chance giver while I am a timer, even so big brother
not my part. My brother had a dark past even if he was not a sinner
I know big brother is good and can change with it all.”
“Kakak
there is no second chance because there is only one chance
while there is a way to fix mistakes, time will determine,
whether you deserve it or not,” said Iori seriously and then sighed
breaths.
Yoshi
feeling lectured is just silence, reflecting on his mistakes. If only he was honest
it was possible that all of those events would not happen, the three of them could still
kidding, growing up together for another ten years or opening a dojo, which is there
only happiness.
“No
problem, the past is painful now you have to throw it away to
step forward.”
“Haha, ,
thank you very much Iori. Even if it's just a simple word but it wakes me up
that I have to keep moving forward,” said Yoshi confidently staring at the blue iris belonging to
Ioris.
“Maybe
it was time, it seemed like three minutes was enough to chat. Thank you brother,
sorry to hold my brother in return for this one of the antique souvenirs
mine,” said Iori handed the thing with both hands.
Yoshi
the confused one accepted doubtfully. “What is this?”
“This
one of my collections is called the wish archer. I
give it to brother! Who knows need it.”
“Follows
a lot of. I was troublesome until I was given this souvenir but I was curious to make
what yes?” yoshi asked, looking at the wish archer.
Wish shape
the Iori-giving archer is a little unique and different, resembling a small bottle
with a cork lid on top and inside there is a mini elf archer
the size of five cm is floating accompanied by small blue wings.
“It,
wish archer is a rare item as the name implies can grant wishes can
used once and will be lost because the arrow archer only one and
shooting direction exactly. So be careful brother, if wrong then brother will lose
“Hmm, ,
well I'll keep and use it well. Thank you for
attention Iori,” said Yoshi with a fluffy smile
“Sama-sama,”
said Iori happy.
Without
aware Iori's face slightly blushed hearing Yoshi's words and smile. “Street
the exit was over there,” Iori pointed in the wrong direction but Yoshi
nod and walk in the opposite direction.
“Waa!!”
Yoshi immediately shouted when his legs did not tread instead lapsed into the
in a transparent hole.
Iorized
the one who felt guilty was confused then patted his eel. “Gosh! I was wrong
tell the way.”
****
Yoshi
falling in the hole could only scream and look at her filled surroundings
clock whirring. After thirty seconds he finally reached the starting point again,
the place was between two doors. Door with hourglass symbol
and analog clock.
No
try to think again Yoshi immediately entered the room with an hourglass because
already knowing the next room was Iori's. He immediately pushed the door
a sturdy one that felt heavy then a yellow glare light struck
direct.
“Congratulations
come Arakawa, nice to meet you. You finally got here too,”
welcome the long-haired blonde girl who is none other than Ageha
by oneself.
Arakawa
feeling dizzy just nodded, Ageha who felt sorry for providing a chair and
the table is accompanied by the fragrance of Chamomile fragrance for Yoshi to relax.
“Thanks
for his welcome,” said Yoshi pulled up a chair and sat down, inhaling the scent
lavender and dandelion. It smells soft, Yoshi thought.
“Sama-sama.
You met Iori, didn't you?”
“Already,
when I got the wrong room and had a chat for a while,” replied Yoshi.
“Then
is that how he gave you something?”
“Yes,
I got a wish archer from him.”
Kikai
pulled the corner of his lips and said, “Iori like that by her nature, likes to give
items to visitors he likes. I also realized that he was
had been careless to give the wrong direction to Arakawa,” said Kikai chuckled
while drinking tea. Yoshi got carried away chuckling remembering earlier
iori's expression which she thought was very cute.
“Dia
likes you,” adds Ageha while taking a breath.
“Ehh?”
“Itu
rarely happens usually he will be indifferent and indifferent, today a little different can be
just because you came to his place.” Ageha propped up her chin while staring
Yoshi seriously. “He's happy there's finally been a talkative for so long, it looks good
for him.”
“So
yes.”
“From
that, how do we get straight to the core? After I saw the contact
physical with other people even make Arakawa quickly disappear besides me
will change everything to make it easy for you, do you agree?”
“Alright,
I agree then what will be changed?”
Kikai
he fused his fingers and pulled out two blue butterflies
hourglass from Yoshi's bag. “I don't have to explain anymore, I think Arakawa has
knowing the function of these two objects is not?”
“I
a solution is thought, the deal is changed. You can touch, or be touched
someone else. The touch could affect their memory, I would
carve the butterfly mark on the bottle as a marker of Arakawa's opportunity
have it now, because you have nine chances left,
now the rest you continue on your own.” Talks closed after Ageha
feel like you have delivered what is needed.
“Means
no contact with people in the future, right? But only with Kurazono
only those who can't.”
Ageha
nodding in response then Yoshi thought for a moment and started talking,”
Thank you very much Ageha. I don't know what else to do because
it has made my job easier. I was thinking what kind of reward I should give,”
yoshi laughed softly.
“No
please feel free. Now I'll just see how the task of the new destiny is
what I give will bring the end of your story, whether it works or not.”
Yoshi
had a gulp because it almost waver but his determination to
finish what he started.
“Now
you will return to the last place, good luck,” Ageha said
extending his hand formed a circle of incantations and after that Yoshi slowly
disappearing from before Kikai with a smile.
Destiny is
can be selected and repeated but decisive
it's finally yourself.
