Trails of Cold Brave Sky Chronicle 9: Memories of Millennia

Beginning of Aki's Origins

Aki read the note the next morning. Reito looked at the note, and asked him what it said. When the rest of their dorm mates woke up, he read it.

"Dear Aki, you have been selected by the Sages of Might to partake in a special Sealer process that will make you immortal. Axle probably already explained it to you. Before dinner, come to my office, and we will begin experimenting."

Aki put the note on his bed, and got ready for the day. His first plan for the day was to go to Koru and Umi and see about this process.

Aki knocked on Koru's door. Forcas answered, and he walked in.

"Last night, Axle told me something about Roku and Trismegistus doing experiments regarding the Sealer program and immortality. I was selected, and received a letter overnight."

After receiving many responses, Aki left the room. He didn't think it would be quite easy, and went to see Axle about it. He eventually found him in the dining hall, and approached him.

"So, I heard you were selected for Trismegistus and Roku's experimentation. I just have a few things to say. Once you graduate, you will be put to sleep for a thousand years, and awaken in a land of white, or so I've been told by Trismegistus, which means you won't be living your normal life for one thousand years. You will then awaken as a servant in a Chain Chronicle just like the one in the Chronicle Continent, and awaken in another world. That is to be your fate after being put to sleep. This will occur after you graduate."

Aki sat down, and Axle got him breakfast.

Zen arrived at the dining hall with his dancers, and everyone got breakfast before they left.

All of the guests began to leave the Magic Academy, and Koru said goodbye to Naomi.

Students went to the dorms, and Koru walked to the arena, where he saw Ariel standing in the center.

"What was that yesterday?"

Koru asked Ariel what she was talking about.

Ariel turned around. "Don't act dumb with me! Why did you summon my mother out of all people?"

Koru sighed. "I don't know why she was summoned either. Must have been one of my seals."

Ariel took out her claws. "Want to have a battle?"

Koru nodded. He prepared his chains, and took a stance.

Riki and Yui still laid in the infirmary. Riki's spell has yet to complete, and Yui just needed rest.

Students were all over campus, and Aki figures he would go to the hot springs. He began to walk there when he heard a rumble.

People began to walk to the source, and arrived at the arena. It was Koru and Ariel, and Ariel caused an explosion when she tried to break free from Koru's soul shackles. The grip was almost impossible to break through, and Carrie's spirit disappeared again.

Ariel transformed, and punched the ground, knocking Koru up with a shockwave. She dashed, and spiked him to the ground.

Many people were on edge, and Koru grabbed Ariel, about to toss her to the ground.

Eventually, Ariel gave out, and Koru landed. He helped her up, and walked out of the arena.

Students went back to the fields, and were sitting on the ground, as it was a nice day for a picnic.

Students were socializing quite well, and Naki arrived. He told everybody classes were resuming next week, and that it was clear for students to leave to see their family.

Marya and Axle were having some tea, and Aron arrived in mist.

Aki was sitting alone in the hot springs, or he thought he was. When he opened his eyes, Vacante was in front of him. Aki looked at his green hair, and thought about Riki.

"Maybe I should go see Riki."

Aki got up, dried himself, and put on his clothes, before going to the infirmary, seeing Yui sleeping, and Riki looking out the window.

Vacante closed his eyes, and raised his hand, looking at the lighting.

Students were conversing on the fields, and Aki arrived with Koru.

"Only a few more hours until it's time for experiments, right?"

Koru nodded, and sat down with Axle and Marya. Aki followed, and laid down.

Forcas approaches the group. He told everybody that he was leaving now, and transformed.

"I'm taking the house back, Ariel. You know where to find me."

Forcas closed his eyes, and left the campus after transforming.

Koru challenged Axle to a battle.

Axle got up, and took the offer.

People followed them, and Koru made the first attack, restraining Axle. He tossed him into the air, and then slammed him to the ground.

Axle gasped, and fired a bullet at Koru, knocking him up. He shot himself with a healing bullet, and used his Gravitus seal to knock him down hard. He rolled away once Koru landed.

Koru punched the ground, restraining Axle from under. He jumped, and kicked him upward before spinning him like a hammer throw.

Axle shot Koru's feet with numbing bullets.

Unable to stand, Koru unwrapped his chains, and they went to his back. He proceeded to use magic, and he began to fly. Once finding a vulnerable position to strike Axle from, and attacked Axle in a wide arc. He finally grabbed him, and did a front flip, slamming Axle back first into the ground, knocking him out.

Night fell, and Aki went to the Tower of Might to see Trismegistus. He laid down on the bench, and Trismegistus began to ask Aki medical related questions.

"So this will actually edit your chromosomes. You will become a sprite when this is over, and then put to sleep for a thousand years. I'm sure Axle told you the rest of the info. You're the first person we are putting to sleep for this. You will actually awaken inside of a book similar to the Chain Chronicle, as stated by Cornelia. You will have twelve seals places, all of them on a selected area, most likely on an eye."

Trismegistus fed Aki a sedative so she could begin.

The process was not long, and Aki woke up not long after. He woke up, and felt numb at the back.

"I just inspected your back while you were asleep. All I can say is that you will have an angel-like appearance. This info was received from Cornelia as well, when she used powerful time magic to look ahead."

Aki got up, and saw an elixir.

"Don't drink that. I'm still making modifications to it."

Aki, unable to feel anything from the back down, had complications getting back to the dorm. He finally arrived inside the room, opened the door, and crashed into his bed, forgetting to close the door.

Meanwhile, Riki walked to the roof and drank an elixir with Cornelia. He was then greeted by Laust.

"How's that elixir treating you? It was specially made by Aki and Koru's mom infused with my blood. You won't get turned, but you will be preserved in time."
