Guardian of the Orb

The mention of that name made me feel a storm of emotions.

the fear

Despair

It was a strong feeling, even stronger than the hatred I felt when I heard the name Alexander Bernenberg.

As if fear had been engraved on my soul

My breathing increased, and my forehead began to sweat

The voice fell silent inside the recorder, as if he had anticipated my reaction, and decided to give me some time to calm down

"I know it's hard news to hear, but there was nothing I could do. When the ritual failed, there was a weakness in the castle's defenses, and the guardian took advantage of this weakness to break into the ritual hall. Even I couldn't stop him, though Heinrich Cornelius Kepler's disciple tried to stop him, but even he was no match for the shadow. All Thomas Weir could do was save what was left of your soul and that of his master, but he paid a heavy price for it..."

I quietly listened to the voice from the recorder narrating the events of the past, and I noticed that a new name was mentioned, Thomas Weir, who seemed to be an ally of mine and a student of Kepler.

At the same time I realized that the voice had mentioned a strange name at the beginning of our conversation, which was Daniel

Why does he call me Daniel?

At the beginning of the recording, Daniel's name was mentioned, but I did not focus much on the matter. It may be because of my confusion, or I thought that this conversation was directed at me, and not at someone else.

But the name on the paper in the leather bag says my name is Elia.

Am I Elia or Daniel?

Or am I both?

I'm starting to feel uncomfortable thinking about this topic

I became confused, and thought for a moment that he was talking to someone else, but all these feelings I had were definitely real.

This means that I am involved in these matters, one way or another.

And at the same time I realized that the person named, Alexander Bernenberg, does not know that I am amnesiac, nor do I remember anything about him.

But from this recording I was able to extract some information. The first information is that I am in great disagreement with Baron Alexander Bernenberg, and we may have a strong hatred because he exploited me. The second information is that I have allies, namely Heinrich Cornelius Kepler and Thomas Weir.

The voice continued

"This is the information I can provide you with, and now we will start with the real work. I will give you two tasks to do. I know you don't trust me, but we have no choice but to cooperate with each other, because our lives are linked together, so even I don't Dare to take it lightly, the first task is to use the syringe in the leather bag on yourself I'm sure Frank Fontaine fulfilled the agreement between us and put the syringe inside the bag, it may seem fishy to you, this syringe is the product of my work with all From Kepler and Thomas Weir, you may be shocked that we work together, but as I said we have no other choice, and whatever happens and under any circumstances you must not let anyone from the outside world know about this injection, because it may cause a massacre, this The injection will be our hope to survive in this savage world. We are weak and need strength to defend ourselves. The injection will give us this strength. The second task is to enter the Central Academy. There we will be able to obtain the necessary support to protect ourselves."

The sound is cut off, and I'm looking at the wall of the vehicle, trying to process the information I've got.

Then suddenly I felt a burning feeling coming from my hand, and when I looked, I saw that the device was vibrating and emitting a gradually increasing temperature, I threw the device aside, and then the device began to melt because of the heat, it seems to be a self-destruction system, so that no one can hear this recording

Then I turned my eyes to the syringe in the leather bag.
