As I gazed at the clear sky, I reflected on the course of my life. Beyond my outlined goals and objectives, an inescapable truth manifested itself before me: in these turbulent times, I needed to gain strength. We could call it power, a force that was beginning to become a dominant need in this new and changing world, essential to achieving the destiny he longed for.

Until now, I had felt confident with my knowledge about magicians and my arduous training that I had in the past. I was convinced that I would not be easily defeated in battle, but the time had come to recognize that there were limits that even I could not cross.

It was Mizuki who, with her intriguing presence, made me aware of the fragility of my existence. Her mere will could lead me to death, one sigh from her would be enough. I felt and saw the difference in power between her and me, a desire began to grow inside me like a long shadow in the sunset.

Mizuki made me realize that.

Robert: Dying is as easy as breathing...

I whispered to myself. as the words were lost in the air of the countryside. The reality of that statement hung over me like a lingering shadow.

Hmm... Maybe... If I ask her...

After my curiosity got the better of me, I proceeded to stand up and look for Mizuki, he's usually meditating or doing other things, he shouldn't be too far away.

I walked everywhere until I found her, she was sitting by the river.

Robert: Hmm... Can I talk to you...?

She didn't even bother to look at me, it's like he already knew I was coming here a long time ago.

Mizuki: Tell me young man, what is your concern?

I mentally prepared myself to ask.

Robert: I was thinking all day... And I realized that I'm a little weak... I wanted to know if maybe... I...

Mizuki: Speak clearly please.

Robert: I wanted to know if a person like me could learn swordsmanship from the Goddess?

There was silence for a while, until he finally spoke.

Mizuki: Hmm... It's a complicated thing to answer... The people of this world have no mana or power, their bodies and souls are not ready to change at this moment.

Hearing her say that my motivation plummeted in an instant.

Mizuki: For now what you can do is train yourself physically and mentally, even if you are limited in power, your mind or your body will be prepared for what is coming

Interesting... well, I'll think about it more deeply another time.

After that, the days passed until the day of the full moon arrived, apparently the moon in my world is not very different from the one in the gap, however it continued to cause doubts even to Mizuki herself. I hoped she could communicate with her clan.

Night came and she was in the moonlight, sitting as if in a form of meditation, she had her eyes closed, her hands were held calmly, it felt as if just seeing her transmitted something wonderful to us, I wouldn't know how to describe it.

It was as if only she could sense something in the atmosphere, I don't know if it was magic or something of that kind, but something surrounded her.

(Mizuki's perspective)

It was the first time that I tried to communicate with one of my sisters in this world, the Moon of this world does not seem different from that of our world, but even so I doubt that they are the same, I focused on transmitting my energies to the Moon. I was hoping that she could feel my energy, I managed to concentrate most of my energy towards the moon, I have to keep it like this until she can feel it, even for me with the power of the Moon it is really very difficult to maintain so much energy for a long time, I hope you detect it quickly sister...

(Unknown perspective)

A sigh escaped my lips as I sank into serene meditation in the tranquil temple. The darkness of night enveloped the surroundings, but something in the air caught my attention. A strange, yet surprisingly familiar energy flickered in the darkness.

Unknown: Hmm...

I muttered to myself. It couldn't just be a coincidence. In one fluid motion, I broke my meditation and stood up from the ground, leaving the sacred aura of the temple behind.

Shadows danced around me as I emerged into the night, my intuition guiding me to the source of that intriguing energy. The night breeze caressed my face, carrying with it the mystery that slipped in the air.

Unknown: Teacher where are you going?

I ignored my good student for a moment, I arrived at the entrance of the temple and I could feel it, it was impossible not to recognize you after so many years, right Mizuki? I climbed to the top of the temple, and got ready to connect with her.

(Another unknown perspective)

Can't be true... You're still alive... Mizuki....

As soon as I finished saying those words, I heard a person being cut and torn to pieces behind me.

Unknown: What did you say?

As he told me that, he threw half the corpse to the side.

Unknown: Where is she? She's not going to escape this time, I'll make sure she dies for what she did.

I got a little emotional seeing how he got just hearing his name.

Unknown: Don't worry, you know we have to inform the boss about this, first let me concentrate to find out his location, it's been a long time since I tried to connect this way, I hope what little I have left of that energy works.

(Robert's perspective)

After a while, Mizuki got up, despite having her eyes closed as usual she looked a little strange, walked past us and spoke to us.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Mizuki: Tomorrow we can leave, I know my sister's location.

He finished saying that and went towards the cabin, how strange.

Danny: Could it be that she's tired...?

Bella: Maybe, we don't know how difficult things are that have to do with the moon.

Alicia had gone after Mizuki.

I agreed with what they were saying, we really didn't know how difficult it was to do the things she does, we decided to go rest today, it had been an achievement that she was able to communicate with her sister. This way we will know Samantha's location

The next morning I made a decision, so I started questioning our group, I wanted to know what each of us could do, to have a better idea about each other's capabilities in case any situation arose dangerous, although we have a very strong swordswoman, I highly doubt we will have problems along the way.

Apparently Alicia is a sorceress, she explained to me that it is not the same as a magician, she could do different things with magic, she basically specializes only in magic, magicians are versatile, but they can only use spells according to their element and they do not have much mana or magic. On the other hand, a sorceress has large amounts of mana and magic, Alicia had several spells, both defensive and offensive, she was a very useful sorceress despite being a girl, she could use both her main elements and the others, it is incredible.

Danny didn't have anything that she excelled at apparently, She was a girl from the other world who apparently entered my world by mistake, that's why they captured her.

Bella apparently was a kind of botanical girl, she knows too much about plants and all those things, I didn't know what kind of life he led before but his knowledge of plants was incredible.

Well we have a fairly decent group, I took Danny to the field to train so I could teach him my different fighting techniques, so he would pick up some art and he will be very helpful.

Robert: Danny, from now on I will teach you everything I know.

Danny: Uh... Because so suddenly...

Robert: In case we find ourselves in a life or death situation, it is good that you know different ways to save your life.

Danny: Mmm... Okay... although I have never fought in my life

Well, for now everything was on track, after training in the morning and getting ready at night, we headed out the next day.

We started walking towards where Mizuki had sensed her sister, apparently she knew where she was, but she had no idea of the road in general, she didn't know which route would be faster or which would be less dangerous, after all, she doesn't know this world.

I decided to take out my map while we were walking and I explained to her where we were and how the areas worked, she seemed to understand, apparently her sister was in some kind of forest on the outskirts of the city to the west, not that she was very close, really, It was quite far away although only she knew the exact location.

As we moved forward we encountered some fauna monsters but Mizuki cut them down like it was nothing even though it was daytime, his strength always surprises me, we walked almost all day. as soon as I noticed that the sun was starting to set and I I felt quite tired, I told Mizuki that we had to look for shelter, I didn't really understand why I seemed to be the only one who looked too exhausted, we had traveled enough distance for today, but the girls barely seemed tired. Mizuki looked at the girls and nodded.

As soon as night began to fall, she closed her eyes, and we continued walking, there was a lot of mountain where we were, however in the distance we managed to see a kind of cave, we headed towards it.

Mizuki was going to first check that there were no hidden monsters, as soon as she entered I heard some moans, after that she came out apparently she had killed the monsters that were taking refuge here.

We entered the cave and I could see the corpses, they were some kind of flying monsters, I could see their bloody wings everywhere, we decided to take the least dirty part of the cave and we started preparing the food next to the campfire, it took us several hours until we had everything ready.

Bella: Ahhh we can finally rest.

Alicia: I haven't walked that much in a while.

I was lying on the floor like a dying man.

Robert: How come you guys have so much resistance?

Danny: We don't all have the same resistance...

Mizuki: Everything requires training and perseverance.

While they continued talking, I decided to go pee, my poor bladder couldn't take it anymore, I headed to the entrance of the cave, however as soon as I got to the entrance I realized something.

This didn't make sense Was it snowing? As? On the outskirts of the city or rather in this country there is no such station, so why?

[https://img.wattpad.com/6be9d763e66530bdc936697e4b8f0eeeb91c4f68/68747470733a2f2f73332e616d617a6f6e6177732e636f6d2f776174747061642d6d656469612d736572766963652f53746f7279496d6167652f4c542d62366b3777366b57716c673d3d2d313430343739323639342e313739666563616535613464316132343231313836323538323531372e6a7067?s=fit&w=1280&h=1280]

Only a few hours ago we entered this cave, I never saw signs of this, and the most important question, Why is it snowing when that has never happened before? What sense does that make? Is it because of magic? It is the most logical explanation, the world is being affected in many ways, it would not be wrong to think that.

This left me with several doubts, I didn't know if this would be the only strange weather that would happen or if there would be others, I don't know, in any case I guess you have to be careful with the weather, it wouldn't have been very good if it started snowing when We were outside.

After doing my respective physiological needs I re-entered the cave.

Apparently the girls were already eating, as I sat down Danny gave me my portion.

Robert: By the way, we're going to need warmer clothes to go out tomorrow.

Bella: Warm? Because?

Robert: Apparently it started snowing.

Danny: Really?

Alicia: I want to go see.

As soon as she said that, the three of them went to see the entrance to the cave.

Mizuki: It seems this world is slowly starting to change because of the gap.

Robert: Is the weather the fault of magic?

Mizuki: It could be, nature itself underwent changes, it would not be an exaggeration for the climate to also undergo some changes.

What she said made sense.

While we talked I asked him other things.

Robert: Why did you decide to leave your sanctuary?

Mizuki: Since I fell here, it had always crossed my mind to go look for my brothers, however, so much ignorance about my surroundings caused me some doubts and insecurities. However, the main reason is that I wanted to be alone.

I didn't know someone so strong could think like that.

Mizuki: However, when you showed up and said you were looking for someone, I guess I felt it was time to return to obligations, I guess at some point in my life I started marrying my destiny... well, there's also the fact that you know more your world to make it easier to reach my clan. By the way, how do you speak the language of our world? When the attackers spoke I didn't understand their language, but you can speak it.

Apparently Mizuki had some hidden reason for having been alone for so long. It's not really that I care, but she is a person who is helping us, so out of respect I won't go into that part.

Robert: Oh, it's because I have this.

I showed him the bracelet.

Mizuki: What's that?

Robert: A bracelet that allows me to communicate with the people of the breach, it was given to me by the person we are looking for.

Mizuki: Ohh... I understand.

Before I knew it, Mizuki had taken off my bracelet and was examining it curiously.

Robert: Ehh... don't steal my form of communication

Mizuki: I don't know what you're saying, but wait a minute, I'll look at it.

Robert: (resigned sigh...)

I decided to get up to bring the girls, it was already late, they must rest. I made a signal for them to come inside.

(Mizuki's perspective)

I wanted to tell the boy that there was a possibility that they were following us, apparently someone else had detected my energy when I contacted my sister, but I decided not to, if we manage to get there there won't be many inconveniences, I will be able to talk to my sister about the situation.

The person who detected the energy has to be from the clan or was from the clan.

I hope everything turns out well.

(Perspective of the Empress)

Empress: How is the search for the sacred object going?

Servant: Our warriors are exploring the other world, we have found 6 of the 10 parts my lady, however we have not yet located the remaining ones, it has been very difficult to find their location in these years.

Empress: Tsk... If that idiot hadn't escaped we would already have them all, how is the search for that traitor going?

Servant: The last time you were seen was 1 month ago my lady.

Empress: My patience is running out, send one of the 7 elite knights, I need to have the sacred item as quickly as possible, tell him to find that bastard at once.

Servant: Yes my lady.

The servant walked calmly down a long corridor, after a while, he arrived at a very elegant place and entered a large temple, he went to the largest room of the temple and opened the doors.

Servant: My lord, the empress has entrusted you with a mission.

Holy Knight: Joo... So our dear empress is already a little desperate, tell her that she can go herself if she wants.

The somewhat bewildered servant looks at him badly.

Servant: It is a direct order.

After hearing that, the servant used something he pulled out of his sleeve, this seemed to affect the knight internally.

Holy Knight: Ahh... don't go overboard... you don't know how annoying that is... Puff... I get it, so... What's the mission about?

Servant: You have to find the master magician, his last sighting was a month ago in the other world.

Holy Knight: Juju... This really got interesting, well, I have some intrigue to know the other world.
