Chapter 4 A Dream

  • "It was that man's desire to change all of us..."
  • "But it was just a dream! A dream can't be real! Unless you were a god or a witch!"
  • "Yes, but! It connects to this reality! It's like it's here! It's not just his world! I'm very confused! Don't talk to me, it's confusing!"
  • "Then explain! Write it down so you don't forget about your dream!"
  • "You're right Brother! I should write down everything. I just hope it's detailed!"
  • "Yeah!"
  • "Have you finished it?"
  • "Yes, I'm done! I foresee that you'll become a Wizard! A powerful Wizard! No one can stop you if you reach that goal! But you'll have to sacrifice someone..."
  • "But... I don't want to sacrifice anyone, I'm just a boy... We don't need sacrifices to make things possible! We could make things possible by undoing the impossible!"
  • "But how will you do it, brother? You're not on the level of mom and dad, and you can barely even do magic on your own! You don't even know what kind of energy you have!"
  • "Well, we will find that out today! I hope mom and dad won't get mad at me if I used this right?"
  • "No! That's an evil book, Brother! You can't use it! Dad and Mom warn us! If we use it... It will consume us! Unless we use light and darkness at the same time, you have to make sure that it's balanced in your heart and mind! Please, Brother, I beg you, don't use it!"
  • "Okay fine, I won't use it."
  • The Grand Sorcerer was having a bad dream. It was the sorcerer that Aka Kodai met, the Master Wizard. The Master Wizard or the Grand Sorcerer was lying in his bed and was having a bad dream, dreaming about his brother holding an evil book and they were both talking. His brother was holding the evil book while he was holding the opposite of the evil book. They were standing together.
  • He was deeply emotional and was very sad as all of a sudden he woke up in complete distress. He feels dizzy when he opens his eyes.
  • He felt dizzy and dizzy as he realized that it was already late at night. That made him lie down on the bed again and look at the ceiling, which was pure rock.
  • "I remember you, brother... I shouldn't have used it," he whispered as he got off of his bed and walked towards a shelf, and grabbed a book named absorption. He grabbed his magic wand that was leaning on the shelf with his left hand and left the cave. But before he left, he looked around first and saw everything was still there.
  • On the surface. He walks into a dense cave and as soon as he walks out, leaves are in front of him. There were dry leaves and there were vines. His cave was hidden and covered with leaves and giant trees. There was grass covering the cave around it.
  • There he walks out of the cave not wearing anything on his feet. He steps on the grass and leaves as he feels the wind blowing and the peace of the forest. It was late at night and he remembered Kuroe Aka Kodai or Aka.
  • He stabs the ground with his staff and let's go. It left him standing on his left side as he began opening the book that he was holding with his right hand. The wind blows the pages of the book as he opened it. There was a strong wind in the middle of an unknown forest.
  • "I hope I never lived... I hoped that I would just stay in that barn for the rest of my life, living with my family and having a nice and simple and peaceful life... I've seen that in a universe where I see myself living peacefully and having the woman of my life... But in this world, that didn't happen, it's just a dream," he said in a sad voice. He feels bad for himself and uncomfortable and unfortunate all of a sudden.
  • Suddenly, he cast magic in his right hand, a sudden light appeared and a clap of thunder occurred. It struck the ground in front of him in the distance and made a giant crater. He also cast a barrier in front of him with his staff before the thunder struck the ground and he began to walk down to the crater. Before he walked down, he put his book in his right hand and grabbed his staff with his left hand and began to walk down. Things happened really fast and all of a sudden an unknown man was approaching the crater from above that made him stop moving.
  • "Hey, old man! Finally! I managed to find you!" A tall man speaks wearing weaponized armor and a sword behind his back. The unknown was staring at the old man that was down below while the old man continued to look down, not giving any vibes. He was stepping on the dirt while holding a book and a staff.
  • "That was quite a nice lightning strike you made... You're the Grand Sorcerer, aren't you? Then let me introduce myself. I'm Karigiri from the Kingdom where you were born, one of the 7 Warriors, one of the swordsman Vikings, it's an honor to meet you," the young man speaks with respect as he smiled brightly while removing his weaponized mask and helmet with both of his hands.
  • "What are you doing in this place? How did you find me, Karigiri?" He asked as he slowly turned to his left and stared at the swordsman. Suddenly he shivered for a second but he quickly overcame it.
  • "Passing by... You, what do you think you're doing here casting a spell doing magic stuff? And I was ordered by the king to kill you... I don't know the specific reason, but you! End right here!" The swordsman said as he all of a sudden flew towards the old man and drew his sword in the middle of the air and aimed for his head.
  • Suddenly, the clouds became dark and thunder grumbled in the clouds. Another thunder occurred and it struck the swordsman in the middle of the air. He landed on the ground and grunted while he was getting static electricity shock.
  • "You're no warrior, you are fake. I watched Aka, my apprentice, talking to the king and the rest of them were there and the others were out... I guess you are dying right here," the old man said as he saw him spit out blood and was trying to get back on his feet. He was bleeding and his armor was destroyed and, for some reason, he was still smiling.
  • "Ha? Haha! I guess you still haven't realized that the south has come here to kill you! Haven't you remembered that you've ordered my brother to kill everyone? You are the sorcerer behind this! We know that the Kingdom that you are born is between the land of the East and Northeast! But here you will die!" He said furiously as all of a sudden a barrier wall surrounded the old man and locked him up.
  • The Grand Sorcerer still appeared to lower his head as all of a sudden a giant rock appeared above his head and it was falling towards him. It was about to reach his head and suddenly the barrier that is surrounding him vanished and there the rock fell on him and the same as Karigiri.
  • Giant black smoke appeared and the giant rock slowly breaks apart and turns into dust. As the wind blew the black smoke everywhere, the Grand Sorcerer and the Soldier weren't there. Suddenly he appeared to be on top of the giant tree branched lay. He opened his eyes and his eyes widened in shock as he realized that he was still alive. He catches his breath in fear of the Grand Sorcerer.
  • "You underestimated me, young man," he said menacingly on his left. He turns to his left side and shivers in fear as he sees the old man floating in the air holding his staff and showing his overwhelming killer-intent aura.
  • "You're lucky to be left alive, I'll extract pieces of information from your head, and also thanks and nice sorcery skills," he said in a calm voice as he reached for his forehead with his right hand. Suddenly, the young man started shouting repeatedly.
  • His energy starts getting absorbed and it's flowing toward the grand sorcerer's fingertips. He was completely unfazed. He was furious as the wind blew at him and he finished absorbing him. He was getting rotten and he stopped shouting in fear.
  • He turns into a skeleton but his skin was still there intact and the clothes he was wearing. The Grand Sorcerer smiled brightly as he stopped absorbing him. He blows him and suddenly he turns into nothingness as he slowly descends to the ground.
  • "I see! I'm sorry, Karigiri, I won't let you live, but I'd rather turn you as one of my soldiers. Don't worry you'll come back, but as one of my men... An honest man who will preserve loyalty," he said in a low voice as he began to descend to the ground and walk towards the crater again while looking around.
  • He cast a spell in his right hand and a book appeared out of nowhere and it appeared that he was holding it. He walks down to the crater and stands in the middle of the crater.
  • "Master of the mystic art, huh? You came to my forest without my permission... Send a message at least first before walking in. Now I've killed your soldier. I'm the Grand Sorcerer, if you have not known. I'm also a master in the mystic arts. Underestimating me would only cause death," he said in a menacing voice as he turned around and raised his head and stared at the giant tree next to the crater. Behind it, his left eye could see clearly that there was an unknown man's presence.
  • "How can you see my presence? Don't tell me that you've also stolen that power, Harishaki Garakure? I'm Karasaku Tarakure from the south. Tell me did you kill my soldier?" He asked menacingly in a high voice as he walked through the giant tree towards the crater that made the Grand Sorcerer's eyes widen. "I'm an old friend," he added.
  • "No, but I own him now, it's been a long time Karasaku Tarakure... I hope you showed yourself before me. What information have you got about that man? Who is he exactly?" He answered and also asked in the right voice.
  • "He's the right hand of one of my division captains, but that really doesn't matter, since I'm exiled, new warriors are protecting the Kingdom, and a young sorcerer, he's just with me for an expedition and didn't expect you'd be here and I can't believe this is a sorcerer's forest, no wonder I sensed different kinds of energy and a sudden thunder strike," he answered cautiously as he jumped down the crater. He was wearing wizard's cloth and a kimono on the inside and he had a book inside his long coat and he was wearing a wizard's hat.
  • "What are you looking for? I know you... You're not going on an expedition without a plan. I know you don't always come alone. Come on show your group. What's happening, Karasaku Tarakure, you've changed strangely," he stood seriously and said in a different tone as he pointed his index finger towards him with his right hand.
  • "My warriors! Come out! He's a wise man with a strong knowledge of spells. You have no clue how to win against this man, he could all beat you using only his staff or right hand," Karasaku Tarakure shouted and four unknowns came out of the bushes and surrounded them both.
  • "Did he kill Karigiri? Sir?"
  • "He only said that he's already one of his soldiers."
  • "Maste—"
  • "I will kill him someday for consuming Karigiri's soul and mind... He's quite the man I knew at the start and he's just my boy," she said in a serious tone as the grand sorcerer stared at them one by one.
  • "They are warriors. How can Karasaku Tarakure be exiled? He has these kinds of warriors on his side, then he must be up to something, I need to guess." He thought and wondered and he slowly replied and tried to make it wise. "How are you exiled, Kara? You've got these kinds of warriors on your sides and they are quite powerful in my opinion. They have an overwhelming presence and aura different than special or rather, they are born special," Harishaki Garakure said as they all smiled except for the sorcerer who was a distance away from him.
  • "Oooh! We are honored! Thank you! But we are here to take her. You know that woman you've taken from another timeline? We believe that we could help... We could help her even more than the warriors of that King. He is a coward! Full of ambitions on his own, I heard that he is planning to conquer the north once more using Aka," she replied with a furious tone.
  • She has a lightweight long bow behind her back with countless arrows in a round bag. She also had a sword behind her back and she was wearing a bright pink kimono.
  • "How did you know her? Who are you four? Where did you get that kind of information? The King has served his kingdom for the last seventy years, he's old enough and he won't live long now, he has a couple of months left, and asked now once again because Aka is here, now where did you all get that info?" He asked in a low kind voice as he lowered his head and didn't show his eyes. It was getting out of sight because of her bangs that were near his nose. It was bright white hair.
  • "I've got the information, Harishaki... I've delivered it to those four or I guess five. The other one is in your hands, but in his mind, it's incomplete because he needs to leave the meeting. Now I have talked to them five times and I want it to get confirmed. Now I've been exiled, I can probably do whatever I want, my Kingdom has got a new sorcerer and new powerful warriors, yet since it's a hidden Kingdom, now we are here to confirm it and we wanna hear it from you," he answered and jumped to a conclusion.
  • "I'm not sure where the hell you got that kind of pointless info, but you are wrong... Since I'll quickly know it. I've got contact with the sorcerers that are protecting the King every day and every night. They even protect the whole kingdom using an invisible barrier, and only me is the one who can destroy it with one finger. Old man sorcerers like me are powerful, the same as you since we've learned a lot of things in the past years, yet we couldn't change a damn thing to save this world," he said in an angry tone and blamed himself.
  • "Hmm! They are really coming to this world, huh? I've heard rumors the Dark Realm is back and is with new beings. That's all I have," she said. It was an unknown woman and it was part of the warriors.
  • "They are coming back slowly but surely... That's why Aka Kodai is on the way to the Village Graden. It's an abandoned village and the first vision of the Dark Realm is there and that's where everything will start. The other warrior of the King, who is a Samurai, was already there and was at a clash with an unknown was, I can't personally interfere nor watch, I want Aka Kodai and the other Samurai take care of it," he said as he stabs the ground with his staff in front of him began reading the book that he was holding in his right hand.
  • They were a little bit shocked as Karasaku Tarakure approached him. He raised his right hand and all of a sudden a bright colored white and black staff mixed together appeared in his right hand. He reaches him and also stabs his staff on the ground in front of his staff.
  • "We will cast a couple of spells and make new sorcerer's equipment, hey you woman! Let me enchant your bow and sword, put it on the side of the staff," he said out loud as he saw her nod and put it on next to the staff and he quickly moved away.
  • They were both standing near it when all of a sudden the wind started getting intense and the clouds started changing and the ground that they were on became darker.
  • Harishaki Garakure and Karasaku Tarakure have both of their hands folded together while magical energy from their arms and hands started flowing to the staffs and there it started flowing to her sword and bow. There was a book floating in front of Harishaki and he was reading it while casting and enchanting her weapons.
  • Suddenly, wild energy flowed into her weapons and the intense air became normal again. Both of them breathed heavily and the warriors quickly gathered around to see if they were okay.
  • "I'm sure this is the hard way to enchant a weapon, Harishaki! But it's more powerful isn't it?" He asked as he breathed heavily and caught it. The weapons dropped to the ground and made a loud noise and destroyed the ground that they landed on. The staff got laid down.
  • "W-what did you both do?" She asked in a surprised voice as she reached for her weapons. She first reaches for her bow with her right hand. She grabbed it with all of her fingers and then her hand and she raised it. She made an expressionless face as she barely raised it. She got hold of it and she stood and pulled the heavy handle. It was glowing and dark and white-colored energy was flowing and there were also wild particles around it.
  • It was heavy as metal but it was much heavier and she was carrying it only with her right hand. She smiled brightly and she was happy. Both of the sorcerers smiled as they both stood and grabbed their staffs. They both smiled at each other with pure kind and friendly intent.
  • "Those weapons are now customized... Use it wisely and don't use it for destruction. Use it only when you are in danger or when someone is in danger. You are blessed with this kind of weapon. It is ten times stronger than the old ones. Now try swinging your sword or at least shoot an arrow with that bow," Harishaki Garakure interested her as she quickly pulls an arrow behind her back and she put it in her bow that she is holding with her left hand.
  • She pulled the string and shot the arrow toward the tree up above towards the lined-up giant trees. She let go of the string and the arrow burst towards the giant trees. It pierced through and destroyed them and left a hole. Her eyes widened in happiness.
  • "W-what the hell is this bow?! Ack!!" She began to get excited and lost her cool. She was so happy as she picked up the sword next with her right hand. The bow was in her left hand. She was about to grab the sword when all of a sudden she let go of the bow in her left hand and it struck the ground with great force and it shook the whole crater for a second.
  • "Be careful letting that go! It could destroy an entire kingdom if you're not careful. It could destroy a wall, use it wisely. That bow and sword of yours are powerful enough to destroy a whole village. Please don't use it for evil," Karasaku Tarakure said as he breathed.
  • "Don't worry! I've been kind! I won't turn into a villain, there's already a villain in this world. I know I said it, but I don't want to be a villain anyway, I just want to collect weapons like that! Thanks to you both, I finally have something important in my life!" She said as she made a bright smile at them both.
  • "Leave us for now, we need to talk in private," he said as all of them nodded and vanished. Both of them were left behind and approached a giant tree up ahead. They both walk up the crater and reach the tree and a sudden seriousness in both of their auras.
  • They walk in a peaceful part of the forest as they both sense no one around them. The four former warriors were at the crater lying down on the ground and looking at the sky.
  • Karasaku Tarakure and Harishaki Garakure were both childhood friends. They both became wizards and became sorcerers at the same time. But one of them is one step ahead.
  • "She's a great danger to the Kingdom! How are you certain that she won't go on a rampage like the others? That power has not been mastered for decades in the history of sorcerers and wizards!" he said furiously.
  • "Yes, but her beast is different! She has a good, dark, and demon side!" He replied in a calm voice.
  • "You know, I've dreamt again about the past... And I can't forget it. If it was not for me or my brother, we could've ended up in peace. Now he's far away, he's dead... No bodies aren't even found," he said in a sad voice as he lowered his head.
  • "You lose everything and now you have nothing to lose, now what is your plan, Hari?" Kara asks as they both stop walking. They were both standing on grass and dirt and behind them were giant trees. They were right next to each other holding a staff in their right hand. Harishaki looks up at the sky and exhales.
  • "We can't let the Dark Realm get ahead of us even one step, Kara. That's why I need her. I have some uses for you too, but I don't wanna lose a friend ever again... You have been my only friend for the past few years. We are old and living more than a hundred years. A century has gone by. I plan to guide this era to peace and end the war, but that seems an impossible desire. If my brother was here, I wonder what his decision had been," Hari answered as he continued to stare at the clouds in the skies while Kara looked down on the grass and leaves.
  • "I don't know either, but he will support you till the very end. He has a kind heart, remember? Once a man has been too kind and now dangerous, that is his weakness. We've believed too much in power and that's where we lost ourselves. If we sought peace at the start. All of these things didn't happen, we are the only ones alive, and now we have Aka Kodai. She's a remarkable child, isn't she? I've found her mother and father and her brother, but I don't really know if she had a sister... But we see that she's alive. We didn't interfere, as you said, you just wanted us to see it... We see that it's not the Dark Realm, it's above the Dark Realm and... I can sense your brother's essence, they might have used your brother, Hari," Kara replied and that made him so furious for a second that his hair floated for a second and stopped.
  • Harishaki Garakure has a different bloodline than a normal human. It was an ancient bloodline that was the same as Aka. It was far more powerful and enhanced, unlike Aka, which hadn't been unleashed. Demon, Darkness, Evil, DarkSide, Hatred, and more. It was an evil bloodline, but Harishaki Garakure got the opposite.
