Chapter 91: The Start (1/2)
ARTHUR LEYWIN'S POV:
Her words rang out inof every year They say the people with the widest saze over to the sleeping Virion and rerin
I had no idea the pain that he had gone through…
I felt like soht the world hated hiht've suffered from deeper pains than I had
No words lefton the ever so slight tre this up isn't to elicit pity or sorrow froravity of what I'm about to inform you of next" There was a stern conviction in her voice that madeher heart before she spoke "I used my powers to intentionally look into your future, Arthur"
After all she told hed on me all the more "What? Wh-why?" was all I could stammer out before Sylvie sleepily walked towardsthe both of us with a brow raised
"Seeave her," she chuckled
"Yeah, she probably just fell asleep naturally," I replied with a half grin
"Well, continuing on, even before the day I first lih to make sense of it, but it was odd to have so many visions of a specific person It has never happened before " Rinia shi+fted in her seat
"As youon this continent Dicathen is going through a new era We've already experienced the beginning of it with the unity of the three Kingdo of the Six Lances, but that's just the beginning Through all of these changes that are going to happen, you always seem to be in the center of them somehow, Arthur" The elderly Diviner locked eyes withto this reaveinto the future… your future, it seems like I've made some enemies"
"What exactly is it that you learned fro into my future?" I asked
"Here's the tricky part Telling you too much of what I saw can affect even the outco you too little defeats the point ofinto the future in order to find a better outcoh, Rinia? You just gave up some of your life in order to see my future… are you okay?" I couldn't help but frown
"I'll be fine I've lived long enough, anyway I ht as well use some of it to help the future" Rinia waved her hand dis like so the hero to be careful and other sorts of generic advice that he can pick up from anyone, but it pains me to say that I can only do that ht of the situation to ease uilt
"Arthur…" Rinia's tone beca, "You will face many hardshi+ps Whichever future you decide, that will remain constant You will have eneh all of that, what I can leave you with is that you need to have an anchor, an end goal What is it you want to accomplish in your life? That will be what determines your path"
This sounded more like a motivational speech than a prophecy, but as if she had read rounded, Arthur, and I'll leave you with these two things One: people do bad things for good reasons, so don't just take them for what they do on the surface and keep your mind sharp Two: oftenti the forces, but the abandoned soldier that has nothing to lose; for that, stay wary and don't be overconfident" Rinia's voice beca an uncomfortable silence in the roo more, but all I can say is to follow and trust your instincts You are a particularly sharp fellow and I know you'll ht choice isn't always the best choice"

The talk with Rinia ended, leaving et after taking a spoonful of a bitter tonic Helpful and necessary, but bitter nonetheless
Rinia woke everyone up soon after, withto have been asleep with them as well Rinia made some excuse that she accidentally er than she anticipated No one seeht lunch that Rinia prepared out of edible plants and ood despite the lack of ree
It was pretty late in the afternoon by the tier surprise than the fact that Rinia's home was in the center of a h a secret door and passage, she had her own teleportation gate
Since teleportation gates were made in ancient times, supposedly with the help of the deities, or Asuras, as I no, it wasn't possible to make anyand realize that this was sooodbyes, Tess, Sylvie, and I went through the gate Along with the dizzy feeling after crossing, elcouards that had their spears pointed at us
After realizing that the unknown crossers were teens who had the Xyrus Academy uniforms on, they quickly lowered their weapons
"We apologize, the portal you were coate, so we didn't knoho or ould pop out from the other side It's rare, but there have been tih a teleportation gate souards, that seeh his eyes still watched us with a studying gaze
"It's fine We cauard did ate fro nod, the guards let us go and since there was no carriage waiting for us, the three of us walked to the nearest stop and found a carriage to take us The sun was already setting and I could see the color distortion in the sky as the Aurora Constellate was soon co to its peak It was a lot easier to see it froh the dense trees in Elenoir
"Wow, the Aurora Constellate really is beautiful every time you see it," Tess said in awe
"Kyu~" 'The sky is colorful!' Sylvie also sat at the edge of the carriage, her sazed up in appreciation
When we made it back to the Helstea Manor, Sylvie scurried up the stairs leading to the door and scratched at it As Tess and I followed her up, the door opened, revealing a person that I didn't expect to see
"Jas time no see," my mentor fron on her expressionless face that she was happy to see rin she had
Before I had the chance to say anything more, the rest of the Twin Horns carin on their faces as they saith a girl they'd never seen before
