“Woah. This temple looks so cool.”
Kuragami and Keikena are in front of a temple. Kuragami is amazed at how good the temple looks. There's pillars made out of blue gold around it. The temple itself is made out of a blue brick.
On the left and right side of the entrance stands two guards in white hoods holding spears.
“Who are they?”
“They're guards from above. They don't let anyone that's not trusted inside the temple. The temple is called Mezame. There’s somebody special inside this temple.”
“And they’re gonna help me?”
“Yeah. They helped your brother.”
“This person helped Yuma?”
“Yeah. They only decided to help Yuma for reasons I don’t know.”
“Wait, so will they even help me?”
“I….don’t know.”
They both walk to the guards.
“So you’re back. What is the name of the little one.”
Kuragami starts to get nervous.
“Um. Kuragami Nozomi sir. I mean, sirs. Ma’am’s. What exactly is the genders of you two?”
Keikena looks at Kuragami annoyed.
“Just calm down you idiot.”
“She has decided to let you in.”
“She? It’s a she Keikena?”
“Yeah, so what.”
Kuragami and Keikena enter Mezame.
The path they’re on is surrounded by two waterfalls, one on the left and one on the right. There's flowers, butterflies and all sorts of beautiful nature around them. Animals of different kind roam the temple.
Kuragami is enlightened at what he's seeing right now.
“Hey Kuragami, look up.”
Kuragami looks up and is shocked at what he's seeing right now.
“No way. Keikena! There's clouds, a sun, the sky!”
“Yeah. The inside of this temple, is endless. Like a world of its own. Her world.”
“How? Who is it we’re meeting?”
“Let’s just say she’s the only of her kind you’ll ever meet.”
They’ve been walking straight for ten minutes.
“You weren’t kidding about this being endless.”
“Just keep walking.”
“For how long?”
“I don't know.”
They’ve been walking for 15 more minutes.
“Oh.”
Kuragami stops walking. Keikena carries on and looks back.
“Why did you suddenly sto-”
Keikena bangs into an invisible wall and falls on the floor. He starts rubbing his head.
“How the hell did you know that was there?!”
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
“I saw it, I think.”
A invisible door opens in front of them. Inside it, there's a path to a throne with a bunch of guards holding spears surrounding the path.
“We're here Kuragami.”
“What the hell is this?”
Keikena stands up and walks in with Kuragami.
They make it to the throne. There's a girl wearing all white with white glistening wings.
“Keikena?”
“Yo?”
“Is that, AN ANGEL?!”
“Mhm.”
Kuragami starts to talk fast.
“Wherethehelldidyoubringmethisissocoolshessobeautifulhowthehelldidyou-theheckdidyouknowtherewasanangelherethi-”
Keikena slaps the back of his head.
“We get it.”
“What brings you here human. It seems that you came with a child?”
“Teach him Ice Coating. He wants to get stronger.”
She chuckles.
“Is this what you humans call ‘being satire’?”
“Nah.”
“You want me, an angel to help a kid learn coating? At such a young age too?”
“Why is it that you helped my brother.”
“And who exactly is your brother?”
“Yuma Nozomi ma’am.”
“Really?”
“I can call you ma’am right? You angels have gender?”
“Clearly they do Kuragami. You’re not helping yourself too.”
“You kid. Something about you is familiar. What’s your name?”
“Kuragami Nozomi ma’am.”
The angel changes the space into a enchanted garden. The water glistens like aura.
“Sit down legs crossed boy.”
Kuragami sits down with his legs crossed. The angel stands in front of him. She raises her aura. She is surrounded by a white aura. Keikena is impressed.
The Mezame Angel places two fingers on Kuragami.
“Raise your aura boy.”
Kuragami raises his aura. The blue aura around him slowly turns into a white aura, the same colour as the Mezame Angel's.
“Our auras are now one. Now I'm going to step into your soul.”
The pupils in Kuragami's eyes dissapear. The aura intensifies. The Mezame Angels spirit steps into Kuragami's soul. Meanwhile, Kuragami is seeing moments in his head, moments he’s never experienced.
Everything is bright. She feels safe in Kuragami's soul.
“The feeling gets more familiar.”
Suddenly, the angel feels something approaching her. From both directions. Two things very powerful.
Darkness starts to spread around. His soul starts to get dark. It feels like his aura, but something a lot different. A bright blue light shines from the opposite direction, fighting the darkness.
A person appears from the light. The angel swiftly looks back.
Keikena starts to get worried.
“Any time now guys.”
The aura rises causing wind around the garden.
“What the hell is going on? Kuragami!”
The aura and wind intensifies. The whole space becomes endangered by the sudden change in aura.
“This is bad! I need to stop this!”
Suddenly the aura stops. They both come back to their original state. Kuragami is breathing heavily.”
“Your name, Ena.”
The angel is shocked.
“How do you know?”
“I-I don’t know. “
“I have decided that I’ll help you learn coating. Beware, since you’re young, you could die from this. The recommended age for you humans to learn to coating is 14 years.”
“So, I can die?”
“If you’re not willing to take that risk then there's no point of you being here.”
“No wait. I'll do anything. No matter the risk. For me to become stronger I have to train like my life depends on it.”
“Great so the first thing we will do is controlling your aura where gravity pressure is high.”
“What?”
“Wait this isn't th-”
Ena teleports Keikena and the guards away. She changes the space around her and Kuragami into a place surrounded by a special type of concrete.
“Where are we?”
“Get ready young man. This will be intense.”
She lifts her arm up. The gravity pressure increases massively causing Kuragami to fall straight flat on the ground.
“What..the…hell.”
Kuragami can't move an inch. It's like he's glued to the floor.
“I..cant…move.”
“That's the whole point. Now this is your objective for the next few days. Your going to try stand up in this gravity pressure for 5 seconds.”
“Only 5 seconds? Easy.”
“Fine then we'll make it 10 seconds. This is not as easy as you think. To be able to move, you have to concentrate your aura throughout your whole body. That's how you gain the strength to move in this environment.”
“So concentrate my aura throughout my whole body? Easier said than done.”
“Well I'll be back to check on you in two hours.”
“Wait, two hours of this? Come on this is so uncomfortable.”
“Not my problem.”
Ena disappears leaving Kuragami by himself.
“So concentrate my aura.”
Kuragami raises his aura throughout his whole body surrounding himself with his blue aura.
Keikena and the other guards got sent to a room somewhere in the space. Ena teleports into the room. Keikena stands up. He looks angry. He rarely gets angry.
“What was all of that? Gravity pressure? That's not how you learn coating.”
“It's a better way to learn coating.”
“Since when?”
“I don't have to explain myself to you human. This is how us angels learn coating. It's a better method than the human way.”
Keikena stays silent.
“You must be hungry, let's eat.”
Ena teleports all of them to a dining hall full of food.
In a base near the temple. There's a bunch of Disciples planning something. There's pictures of the Angel with large red crosses drawn around them. The base has a large logo resembling a three headed dragon. Someone walks up on the stage in the base.
“Everyone look the boss is making a speech!”
“Yes boss! What are we going to do this time?”
“My fellow outlaws! The big boss has ordered our base to capture the angel! So, that's exactly what we are going to do. Starting from tomorrow, we will attack that lousy temple retrieving the angel! From there on out, our boss will use her power for world domination!”
All the Rogue Disciples start cheering.
“So guys, once we take the angel, the future will brighten up! Not for her though. Muahahahaha!”
All the outlaws start laughing waving their weapons high in the air. The leader says something to himself.
“Soon, everything I've ever dreamed of will become true. All thanks to the big boss.”
