"So, what should I do now? Please, guide me."
[ *Chuckles* Child, it is your choice. Choose the path you will walk on.]
[ That's right! You're the one who decides! After all, it's not Rinslet who decides, nor is it scarlet who decides! Ehehehehehe!! I wonder what you'll do? ]
What should I do? I am afraid...What if I fail to reach my goal? I can't bear to imagine the consequences...but I have to. So,I made up my mind. I will search for my past. What the name "Luminous" have to do with me. Why I was lying here for 300 hundred years which is unbelievable that I am still alive. But, how do I start? That's the question.
" You know the answer, Scarlet and Rinslet "
And I gave a you-already-know smile. I looked up and breathed a heavy sigh.
[What do we do?]
"Guide me. Become my familiars. Tell me what I should do."
With that, I thought Did I just say Familiar? I talked so smoothly like it's what I always did... who in the world am I?
Scarlet and Rinslet rose into the air, flapping their blood red and cream coloured wings respectively, gave an ear-piercing screech, then bursted into red and yellow flames with their wings crossed now, I bowed and chanted.
" Thee shall become my lifelong servant. Thy shall be your Master. Come and give me thee flames, the symbol of thee's loyalty. Oh Guardians of the Forest, come forth to heed my call! "
As a tingling hot sensation settled into my hands, I groaned painfully. It was hot, as if I was being marked by a hot metal. I waited as the seal was done carved on my right hand, it was a beautiful combination of colours that reminded me of a sunset.
[ The ritual is done. It seems that your body still holds the memories but not your head. That's most likely Why you are able to do it smoothly. And a chant that exceeds far more than an S-class mage's chant. You are indeed "The Holy One".]
[ Yeah yeah!! Rinslet thinks so too! ]
"I see. So I'm not normal? And I just realised, both of you are...neither birds nor mammals? "
[ Haha... we are indeed creatures of the Spirit world. We are considered a First-class creature, that which is very hard for even A-class mages to call. In our case, we have been guarding this forest ever since we were called by a beyond S-class mage. That was our "contract".]
I see...I responded by giving a nod. And now, I will take the next step. To get out of this forest.
