You have the ability to ignite the world in a sea of flame, yet you only ignite the fires of hope...

~~~~Christian's POV~~~~

The picture that was shown on the file that will be the future wielder of the Mizunar Mask was me. I backed up a bit as this caught me off guard, the reason for that is because this whole replication of the past was set in 5000 years ago; meaning I shouldn't exist or be considered a thought of existence as of yet. When backing away, the past replication shifted away and a new simulation started, this time. It was a mangrove swamp but the water is about to my feet. I looked around the place and walked around the swamp for a while.

After about 45 minutes of walking around, a clearing reached my peripheral vision where no trees were around but the water is still up to my feet; after a minute of scanning the area, loud whistling started to erupt around the vicinity. A being from a distance flew from the north of my position and dropped onto my location with massive ripple of the water when he landed. The Unknown being then stood right up and walked towards me menacingly, from what he looked like, the being was wielding the Mizunar Mask.

The Mizunar Mask wielder approached me and then sticked his right hand out in a grab method on the right side, then a war glaive appeared onto his hand. Once it appeared, the entity dashed towards me and made a thrust attack towards me, with a quick succession, I managed to barely dodge but with a cut appearing on my cheek. I placed my hand on my cheek and looked at the blood stain on my hand, my mind was filled with questions as to if this whole thing was real or not. Not even a minute later, the masked person started running towards me again but with the time, I had a much less window of evasion of the attack. So in quick succession, I hardened my arm and hands so that I can grab the glaive and try to attack back. After grabbing the glaive, the wielder noticed what my possible action was doing and spun the glaive so that my hands were released from it.

This allowed me to create distance between me and the mysterious figure but made me more nervous as they have a reach weapon, while I am still using my fists. A voice was surrounding me, at the beginning, it was quiet and very distant. Now, the voice was getting increasingly louder until it was fully audible. The voice was telling me to 'concentrate and then summon'.

If it was a normal circumstance, I would have not listened to the disembodied voice but this predicament is indeed not normal. With that, I took a deep breath and held out my arm to my side to see if anything will appear and then in a manifestation, a trident summons into my hand. The trident was silver and blue trident with a dragon like head just at the tip of where the blades are on top.

The mysterious assailant backed his head a bit when he noticed a trident appeared on my hand, but then decided to sprint towards me with their glaive lunging right for me. Being more prepared now, I used the trident and moved some water in front me and froze it so that the lunge hit the ice shield, which allowed me to manoeuvre to the left and lunge myself at the assailant.

They managed to block the attack with the grip part of their glaive but this allowed me to take the glaive to the ground due to it in between my trident blades. Additionally, this closed the gap between us and allowed me to use my left hand to punch the person on the right side of their hip, causing them to back away. I picked up the assailant's glaive and threw it right in front of him to signal the continuation of the fight. 

They grabbed their glaive and spun it around themselves, then the glaive they were wielding was now pointing to the side of them. They muttered a sentence but it was inaudible due to the distance we have, though what happened next was not in my expectations at all; a the glaive started to energise and the assailant created a lunge attack from that distance. The lunge attack then took the form of a leviathan and was heading straight towards me. Due to the very limited time I have to block this attack, the trident I'm holding started to glow and then this agitation embedded in me continuously screamed at me to stab the ground with the trident's other end.
