Riuna started groaning. She looked like she was about to puke.

Just then the leader wolf, or at least seems like it, launched an attack at our barrier. Increasing the crack on it..

'Oh no.. what should we do?' I panicked.

'Use.. your weapon..'

'Wait, weapon?? Just now you said something about some words of .. what- and now some weapon? How in the world do I do that??'

'Your WO and your weapon are a part of your astral form. You should be able to do it! You can change!... I believe in you..' Riuna passed out just after she said that. The barrier falls instantly.

'Okay me, what do we do now? Riuna said that weird stuff about astral forms and I actually succeeded in it. So I guess I should be able to do the rest of what she said.' I was sweating. A lot.

And so I tried to get back to my dream and speak to the huge creature there. And it worked!

The huge shadow started to form a shape; A huge void black dragon stands there, staring at the auroras.

'Um... hello?

The dragon stared back at me.

'Um.. so I have to learn this Words of Origins thing and can you help me?'

The dragon did not answer. It kept staring back at me with it's glowing amethyst eyes and it's creeping me out.

'Don't ask me what you already know.' It finally answered. It touches my forehead and it feels like it's pulling out an old memory of mine.

Suddenly I'm back with Riuna at my side. She's awake again. Then I see the sun setting, the reason for her revival.

'My strength is back, I can finally fight now.' She said while grinning. 'They're so toasted.'

Riuna said something and then the world turn black. And when it turned back to normal, a girl with dark red hair stands instead of Riuna. Is this her astral form?

Suddenly, a long crimson rapier appeared on her hands. She charged at the wolves with a huge grin on her face. She fought like crazy, like a totally different person. It's scaring me.

'Come on, come on. You're all too weak!' Riuna's light gold eyes started glowing red.

One of the wolves called reinforcements. Bringing back a horde of even more vicious wolves to the pack.

'Now it's getting fun! Ahahahaha~' Riuna looked like she's torturing the wolves instead of knocking them out. It's genocide.

Suddenly my eyes turned mint green. My hands feel cold, my body feels hot. As if, I tuned into a different person. Is it what Riuna experienced? I feel something tingly inside of me. I feel like,... like I want to join Riuna in the fight. I can't-!! I can't control my body!

"Snap out of it kid! The full moon is driving you crazy!" the dragon warned me.

Then my mind returned to normal. Riuna is still fighting like crazy.

"You must stop her. Before she reaches her limit." The voice of the dragon rang in my head.

"What should I do then?" I answered.

And then I started to remember. Something that I should have never forgotten. Then some mysterious words came out of my mouth.

Riuna's wound healed, and it seems that she returned back to normal. She holds her head like she just woke up from a horrible nightmare, then she fell to her knees.

The wolves responded to it quickly, and started to pounce at her.

'Riuna!!' Suddenly my body moved on it's own, faster than I've ever ran before. And blocking the claws of the wolves, within my hand lies a pair of pure black chopstick looking object.

One of them, the one on my left hand, started to burn out blue fire. Freezing the bodies of the wolves.

'Riuna! Are you okay? Come back to me!' A red aura surrounded her. Turning the wolves that approach her into stone. She then stand up and started to fight again, differently this time.

The horde started to decrease. It seems like some of them retreated back where they came from.

Then behind the curtain of wolves, a little girl appeared.

The wolves surround her, and she patted them like they're her pets.

'The Guardian of the Edge! What is she doing here?' Ruina seems worried.

'Are you the source of this calamity?' she said while staring at us with her almost white-ice blue eyes.

Riuna seems even more nervous. Now that I think about it, the guardian seems to be staring at her more than me.

'I- I didn't mean to, I-!'

The guardian sighed. 'Ahh~ Riuna-tan did it again.'

Riuna...-tan!? The guardian is Japanese?

'Who is the human beside you? Is she a new student? Hnn... She could use her astral form huh... interesting, even Tetsu-nii was defeated, I'm impressed.' She give off a moe smile.

'But Riuna, you know how dangerous it is bringing a human here, if we hadn't interfered the witch's pawns will destroy you.' A wolf nearest to the guardian spoke. Then I realized that this pack of wolves had red eyes, not blue or green.

'Tetsu-nii is right, especially with your body in that state.'

'H-how do you know that Shirakami!?' Riuna gave a shocked reaction, like her deepest secret has been told or something.

'Umm... sorry to interfere but does this happens a lot?' I asked

'I'm afraid so. But this time, it's getting worse.' Tetsu spoke

'Yes, Riuna-tan usually can control it much better than the others can but the curse is-'

'Shirakami!' Riuna shouted. 'It's fine. I'm fine. I'm not gonna let her take over my body ever again, so please..'

'Hnn... ok!~ So human girl, my name is Shirakami Yukibana from the Inugami clan. My formal name is Shirakami but you can call me Yuki. And this is my big bro Kurokami Tetsu, for short Tetsu-nii. We're born from different mothers but it's ok~ right Tetsu-nii?'

Tetsu shook his head. 'Our introduction is done, It's your turn now. For a human that can summon it's own astral form, who are you?'

'Erida South, 14 years old, Indonesian, moves all the time thanks to my dad's job before he died, currently in Australia, or was. And yes, I'm normal. Or at least, used to.'
