The Summoners (T.A.S Fanfiction)

Missionaries - Those Who Lives Lies (3)

Jealousy. Hatred. That is how I felt for those showered with love's blessings when they came into the world... A love that I could never have. A love I would never be permitted to experience. This kind of love... could never bring you happiness.

Hati reaches out to an illusion of a smiling Gabriel being showered in the light of the bright moon. No matter how far he reaches out for her, she is too far for him to reach. Such a beautiful angel yet he isn't able to grab hold of her at all. What a bittersweet love...

But I cannot stop now. Perhaps if I was crazy, I might, at least, have been content. No matter how much I yearn, I am destined for loneliness. Yes... I am all alone. Just the sight of you makes my chest hurt. Just the thought of you makes my heartache. I was supposed to be satisfied by simply watching you from afar, but no matter how hard I tried to fool myself... My heart cried out in sorrow.

Hati could feel himself being consumed by the darkness growing in his heart. He tries to ignore this dark feeling in his heart but it keeps growing and growing until it is too huge for him to ignore anymore.

So, you see... I had no other choice. I have no right to say this, not after the terrible things I've put you through. I didn't intend to fall for you. I never meant to love you so deeply. I'm just captivated by your smile... that smile as beautiful as the moon itself. Forgive me... Farewell... and thank you.

Hati slashed through the image of the smiling Gabriel and she disappeared like she was just an image in the water. Hati feels such sadness when he does this to Gabriel... He is such a horrible person who doesn't deserve to be around such a perfect being...

Gabriel... My precious moonlight.

Currently In Aoyama Cemetery...

The remnants of the Aoyama Guild's forces attempt to retake the Nogizaka Portal, which is now held by the Roppongi Guild. But the difference in power is far too great. The Roppongi forces advance, forcing Aoyama to flee the Battle Zone. As they do, a dragon descends from the skies. He looks down upon the angels and speaks.

"Pitiful... Such a pitiful display. These are the elite warriors who protect this land? Pathetic fools! Have you deluded yourselves into thinking you can triumph with sheer numbers alone? Pitiful, pathetic beings... Know this. The strong stand proud in solitude, while the weak flock to one another for comfort. Congregate as you wish! You are no more impressive than mere ants! Buwaaahahahahaha!" Ophion couldn't help but laugh as he watched the many angel Transients run away from him.

Meanwhile with Masato Group....

We enter the underground graveyard, with Shiro leading the way. Slowly and carefully, our party descends further and further into the dark depths. The only source of light is the Sacred Artifact in Shiro's hand. With it as our guide, we advance deep into the catacombs.

"What's with that Book, anyway? It just suddenly started to glow when we got inside." Ryota was looking at Shiro's book with curious eyes and I couldn't help but look at the book as well. It was kind of creepy seeing a book with such a scary-looking face on it glowing, it kind of makes me think of some horrible horror movie.

"I'm not sure, actually. I've never seen it do this before." Shiro looked at his book with a surprised expression like he didn't think it could do something other than summoning his D-Evils.

"Such is the nature of Rules, Shiro. Your Rule is Resurrection, is it not? As I mentioned to Ryota, Rules represent a user's true nature. Resurrection is the ability to reach into worlds unknown. It must be the key to manifesting the connections between worlds. The very essence of your being is driven by a desire to open the way. That magical Book surely resonates with your true nature." Maria explained this to Shiro with a serious expression and I couldn't help but listen to her as she said this. It kind of made me think about my Sword... My true nature, huh...
