Fate: Trial Of The Past

No Too Much

"M-my sword?" Kaida was confused. "But, you are not a sword." Kaida pointed to me, "Do you understand what she is talking about?" I shook my head, "Yes I do. Kumiko, explain to her." I told Kumiko to explain. She turned to Kaida, "Listen here child, I am the soul in the sword. This is what to sword looks like." She showed Kaida the sword, "It is yours until you lose it, give it up, or die."

I looked around the room, each spot had a number. The highest was nine. And the lowest was zero. I wonder what each one is. "How is there a place for One, when I created One?" I asked, "Well there has always been one missing. And that has been one. You made One, and the spot was filled." She looked at Kaida and patted her on her shoulder, "I hope you understand. Now leave us to rest." We left the place, and came back to our world.

"That was weird." Kaida told me as she looked around for any signs of change. "What was weird?" Amelia asked us, "Nothing, and if you know, then you know." I looked over at Kaida to see her picking up the sword. She swung it a couple times. Every time she did I heard a low humming. The hum of what time would sound like. The pink glowed more and even left a trail after the sword, to show movement. "That's a pretty cool sword." I said, is that the language of the people here.

"Oh right, use it to inform us of what we need." I reached into my pack for a book. The book of Cursed swords. It only had 9 swords, but only explained eight in detail. Zero and One were unheard of. I opened the book, feeling the rough texture of each page, all while being smooth. "It says here nine holds the power of time." I kept reading, searching for knowledge, "Ahh here it is. It says to obtain knowledge, one must hold the sword out as if to stab the ground, and say," I paused to see Kaida following the steps as I read them. "Know cut."

"No cut!" Kaida shouted, nothing happened, the glow of the sword was fading slowly, "Which did you say, no, or know." I looked at Kaida, things are about to get tricky. "How am I supposed to know which one to use." I pointed upwards, "That one." I smiled as I pointed up. She then reassured her position, "Know cut!" The sword immediately regained its glow. Making everything around us the color of pink. I looked at Kaida, what had once been black hair was now purple hair, and the same with her eyes. The red on her clothing turned bright pink, while the black became a fitting purple.

"Time sword, more like pinkify sword." I chuckled a little. Then I realized I was wearing a white cloak, I quickly looked down to see the color. It was bright pink. Oh that's cool! "What now Stone." I opened the now purple book, it says look and receive. "Look and receive." I looked at the carriage from earlier. Oh I know now. It's a car! Wait I know what a car is! "A car, it is a form of transportation, made to reduce time when traveling from place to place." I looked at Kaida, "Ueno, female. The female is meant to help repop..." I turned around before I said anything else, "buildings."
