Trails of Cold Brave Sky Chronicle 9: Memories of Millennia

How Aki Came to Be

Time went by. Aki and his roommates were now in their third year at the Magic Academy. The term was close to ending, and Aki and Iru were taking a walk around campus.

Students were also walking around campus, because there were no classes today, and Aki felt the wind.

Aki looked at the sky.

"I wonder where everybody is right now. Vacante, Laust, Tagapuno, Alise, Riki, Axle, Ariel, Marya, Nora, Ona, Aron, Koru. Where are they? What are they doing, now that they all graduated?"

Aki closed his eyes. Iru took off his glasses. "I don't know where they are and what they are doing now, but you and Reito should pay a visit to them before you get put to sleep."

Yui arrived towards the two of them. "Iru, Rala is looking for you. She said it's important."

Yui dragged Iru to the dorms.

Aki saw Koru walk around the outside of campus. He heard chains rattling, and walked over to the fence.

People were eating, and Laust arrived on campus and went to the dorms. He was holding some flasks, and went to the dorms. Koru eventually took the long way to get a visitor's Pass, and arrived, and hugged his brother.

"I drank Laust's elixir so I can live on forever, never aging, able to spread my story to the world, trying to spread awareness of stronger security. If we cross paths one day, I hope we can spar."

Aki and Koru crossed their right arms together, and Koru eventually went to the dorms.

"My life won't be the same after I graduate..."

Aki took one last walk around the Tower of Life, and walked over to Niyo's office, but stopped once he heard him and Naki making out. He quickly left, and ran into Laust, and then tripped before he stopped, landing on top of him.

Trismegistus left the bathroom, and saw Aki and Laust get up. She assumed Aki tripped, and went on with her day.

The elixir Laust was holding spilled onto the ground, drying on the cement. Barely enough for five people, Laust immediately ran to the dorms.

Eventually, Laust arrived, and asked Rala to gather the others.

Laust transferred the elixir to five shot glasses.

Yui arrived, followed by the boys, and Rala entered last.

Umi and Rai enter campus with Susan and Darrell.

Laust handed everybody a drink.

"Drink up. This elixir will stop your aging, making you immortal. In your first year here, I tested it on Riki and Cornelia, and they did not have any side effects. You will not have any healing magic inserted during the process of drinking the elixir, and you will have a few minutes of a sugar crash."

Reito drank the elixir, and fell asleep. Slowly, everybody else went to sleep due to sudden exhaustion.

Hours passed, and the five slowly woke up. Together, they went to find Aki, as Laust told them that he went to Trismegistus.

The five roommates walked towards Trismegistus's office, following Aki.

Aki stood reluctantly in front of the Tower of Might. He knew that this experiment was dangerous, and even though he was aware that this was unsafe, Aki kept his focus. He walked in, and Shi cast a powerful time spell to preserve everybody just in case Laust's elixir did not work.

Rala copied the spell and used it on Shi.

Susan and Darrell sat down with Umi in the fields. Rai went to the Tower of Destiny, and saw Cornelia.
