Dragon Tales: Reincarnation

The Teleportation and The Carriage in Trouble.

"To the teleportation room, we go!"

"Yay!" I cheer with her.

We walk a relatively long path. Then I see a double door. The door was made of wood with intricate markings. I think It could have something to do with magic because the markings and cravings are on my mask too.

"By the way Twixie, What are these lines on this mask? There are markings and carvings on this door too." I ask.

"These? They are magic circuits. They help in achieving the desired effect when making magic items. The circuit on your mask is for concealment of aura and it also reduces your presence. It also grows stronger with you because of the aura that it absorbs. So it's for protection too." She explains what these lines and markings are.

"so I can make these too?" I ask in curiosity.

"yeah. I mean the whole library is inside you, remember? It does have the magic spells and the energy but it also has knowledge related to the magical items and magus. You are the moving hunk of knowledge on magic. You just have to learn it yourself by going through it. You should have the knowledge but you can't use it from the get-go, can you? You would have to practice first." She explains.

"This knowledge thing... do I really deserve all of this? I'm a nobody that just dies and got reborn like this... I don't think I'm virtuous enough to be accepted..." I murmur.

"you shouldn't worry about that stuff. I look up to you now. Isn't that enough? Make your own image in front of other people. This could be a clean slate for you. Live your life as you haven't lived before. You can have as much time as you want. Whatever the path you choose, I will be with you, forever. This was my promise to Fervie. Right here and right now, I also make this promise to you. I will stay by your side until I perish." She says in a very confident voice.

Why is she like this?

I'm just a stranger. She met me after waking up from being sealed and experiencing her friend's death.

Does it have to do with my past life?

I was so used to being alone. Maybe that's the cause that I can't understand her feelings?

I wish I could have my memories back. I wish that I could remember things I've experienced.

The three years with no memories have been hard but I've held on by myself.

My friends or I should say, the 'friend' my former self had couldn't approach me again.

A girl. Her name was Nishimiya Miko. By the actions and the things she said, it seemed she liked him. Because the last time she came to see me, she said she couldn't bear to see me in pain when she loves me so much.

Honestly, I didn't understand it a bit. The feelings my former self had. What were they? Did he like her too? There's no way to find out.

Thinking about Twixie, she feels so approachable and easy to trust. It's like there's an aura of kindness emanating from her.

"Hey, Twixie. Let me promise something too. I swear on my futile life that I would protect you until the day I die 'again'." I say while I look at her with utter resolve.

"Your life isn't going to be futile, you are going to be an amazing person." She says.

"We are here."

We arrive at the door.

"APERTAS!" Twixie shouts In her tiny voice as she places her small hands on the door.

Is that some sort of magic spell?

"Twixie, what's that thing you say every time?" I ask.

"This is a keyword recognized by the protective magic on this door. It opens the lock."
