tachinowarui saga book 1: tales of berseria

part 1:reborn

In my dream

I'm sitting in a meeting room. With 13 other armageddon knights. The nashi tribe. Is the home for the outcasts of the other tribes. They broke there clans rules or taboos. And casted out. But no matter what tribe you're from. The void of nothingness accepts all.

My dream transits to me easily despatching soldiers wearing dark armor with madness in their eyes wielding a katana which blade is made of ethereal energy. The ethereal blade.

It then transits. To me on my knees staring up at man wearing dark armor sword in hand ready to finish me off "your soul and power are mine." he said. Swinging the sword.

I woke up with a jump start. Sweating profusely. When my breathing calmed down. I got up and took a look around. I seem to be in the middle of some forest. How did I get here?

The only thing i can remember is my name. Mu tachinowarui. And that's about it. I walked through the forest. Hoping to find a village or someone who could lead me to one. And sure enough. I found someone. A village girl with black hair with a braided ponytail. She was picking flowers. I walked up behind her.

"Excuse me." i asked her.

She turned around. And I saw her amber eyes. She was a real beauty. I had to admit.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"My name is Mu tachinowarui" i replied. She then giggled.

"Mu? I take it you mistake the noise a cat makes for someone calling you" she laughed.

"Ha ha. Anyway, do you know where I am? And where i can find the nearest village?" i replied.

"Your in the morgana wood. Just go down that path and you should end up in aball." she replied.

"Thanks." i replied i began to walk away. Until i remembered something. I didn't get this cuties name

"Sorry. I forgot to ask. But what is your name?" i asked.

"My name is velvet crowe."

"Nice to meet you, velvet. Anyway. If you don't mind me asking. Why are you out here picking flowers?" I asked. Her face turned sad when I asked that.

"There for my family's graves. My mom and dad. My sister and her unborn child" she replied.

This poor girl. Most of her family is gone. An unborn child. Not even given a day of life before the darkness of death consumed them. It was really horrible to hear.

"Do you have anyone left?" I asked. She nodded. I was glad she had someone

"My little brother laphicet. And my step brother arthur." she replied. I started picking flowers with her.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Helping you. Not like I've gotten anything better to do." i replied

"Oh thanks. If you don't mind me asking. Where did you come from? Do you have a family of your own" she asked.

"I don't remember." i replied

"What do you mean you don't remember? How can you not remember your family?" she asked, sounding angry.

"All I remember is my name. Anything about my past is in a black void within my head" I replied.

"You have amnesia?" she asked.

"I guess so." I replied.

We finished picking flowers and headed off to aball. I looked at velvet. I got to admire her. She has lost so much. Yet she is still so full of life. That takes...incredible strength. To not give in to despair even when you have lost that much. It's admirable.
