Sanquinam ...
The name, like an echo filled the heavens. The dazzling light pierced the clouds in the shape of white monsters. The legionary then opened his eyes, his name still echoed in his head, he was standing on a paved road invaded an emerald green moss. From both sides, fields of tall grass out of sight. What was he doing there? This is something he would like to know because he had absolutely no idea. Worse, he had not the slightest recollection, yet he knew his name and those of his family.
- Hey Ho! Cried he, anyone?
But he had not the slightest response to his call so he decided to move straight ahead there. But why right before? He said to himself, glancing behind him. But far from that side did not inspired, no, he had to advance. But where to go? So much going forward. So he walked for a long time without seeing anyone, he noticed several interesting and disturbing facts. Some have advanced several hours he was surprised not to see them move the Sun. Plus it felt no fatigue, he was not sweating despite the heat, no hunger tugged her womb.
- What's going on? He whispered, stopping at the roadside. I do not feel anything ... I ... I can not breathe!
It was then that noise attracted his attention. He could recognize the clack of horseshoes on cobblestones. Shielding her eyes from the sun he saw the horse coming towards him. He had never seen a beast as large as this one, as black as darkness, muscular, horsehair braid his neck almost touched the ground, eyes clear as water. Its rider was not less remarkable. Incredible knight armor runes beautiful lustrous thousand lights. His helmet sporting a long crest of red feathers hiding her face. The horse stopped at a Sanquinam both anxious and curious. This jumper ... his outfit was saying something but what?
- Hello, you're obviously a Tantadien judging your armor and runes. Can you help me? I do not know at all what I'm doing here.
- I came to get you Sanquinam, said the horseman a voice sounding out from beyond the grave.
- Do we know? I am confused not recognize you, do not feel offended. What's going on?
- I brought you to the Forum to be judged, you have walked faster than I would have thought.
It was then that Sanquinam put the pieces together: the long road, the frozen sun, nor hunger, nor thirst nor fatigue, the rider on the black horse ...
- Wait ... You ... You're Psykios ... Son of the goddess Psyche wandering souls. Those who travel the road to the Domitia Forum. Whoever leads the dead warriors to the gods to stand trial ... That means I'm ... Death!
The rider reached down Sanquinam so that it rises behind him.
- I do not believe these stories, I'm a Kertasien!
- And yet you're right there Sanquinam son of Amalorius, I can not answer your questions.
- Tell me at least how I died!
The horse went galloping at high speed along the Domitia, spinning like a star. Sanquinam well have to walk a ways he would not have traveled half way leading to the Forum with Psykios. At the end of the road stood the huge building, bigger than the largest building Tantad and perhaps the world. The rider stopped his horse on the threshold of a double door to the measurement of rest and let down the legionnaire.
- Go now, you are expected. And a board, do not forget to whom you speak.
Sanquinam, still quite intimidated, entered this divine excess. In reality this forum did not form as the Legionnaire expected, it looked like an advantage to a giant amphitheater at a large place where people met. The door slammed firmly with a deafening noise. Sanquinam expected to see the gods sitting in front of him, but not because he forgot that the gods did not like that we see, this court would be the invisible.
- Sanquinam said a female voice, you turned away from us, now that we scored our seal.
- I did away from anything because I'm not in front of you, you're not there, I'm a Kertasien, which means that I do not believe in gods.
- You rub shoulders with the Rune Legion long, how can you still doubt us? Did you not attend the performance of their wonders, said the voice.
- What make is that magic, I've seen people do such wonders without intervention other than their own power.
- Let's show him, tell a male voice, hoarse and loud voice.
- Show me what ... what ... what.
- We give you your memories, you're not in a dream, this is not the fruit of your imagination.
Sanquinam was then assailed by memories, an incredible flood of images, sensations and feelings. Everything appeared to him clearly, and now he knew how he had ended his life, by chance, with a lot of bad luck ...
A cave deep in the lands near the White Guem Islands. Watahata not moving, the Castaway held her under his control. Sanquinam then put his sword in its scabbard without feeling any emotion about the future of the young pirate.
- Now, pirate, you'll drive me to the edge of your flying ship. If they ask anything you say I am your guest and you do sufferest no question about it.
Watahata nodded to indicate that she had understood the message and obeyed the order without flinching. Here is the little troop distributed aboard Shark eagle where Castaway was questioning his new "conquest."
- Are you aware of an escape that took place there some time in a high security prison?
- No, but I know who was at the heart of this case.
- Who?
- A mechanistic name Klémence.
- You know where I can find this person? he said with some annoyance.
- Yes, she has her studio on an island a little further north.
- Give the shift, we go.
- Okay, she said, out of his cabin to relay the order.
Several hours later, still aboard the Shark eagle Watahata returned from the site where Klémence and thirty men and women were working to rebuild the Arc-Kadia, partly destroyed during the chase with Breakaway . Believing that he could not place Klémence under his control he sent Watahata to use his magic to speak the target. The result was very convincing and the young pirate had succeeded in his mission brilliantly.
- So? Grew impatient on Shipwrecked. That you had she said?
- The one you want is not in the White Islands. Following his spectacular escape it was decided it was better to entrust the Council guilds who know how to keep captive.
- I've had ENOUGH! Shipwrecked said angrily, striking a wall of wooden slats Shark eagle. Well ... added he controlling her breathing. This Council of Guilds is it far?
- With the Shark eagle not long either, a few days at most. But the disappearance of the ship of the White Islands will probably attract the attention of the Admiral.
- I do not care for your Admiral, I hope to have resolved this story before one realizes the disappearance of your ship, pirate. I'll take care of your crew. We change the course direction the Council of Guilds.
- According to your wishes, said Watahata leaving Sanquinam and Shipwrecked.
- They want war, it will have it! Come to me Legionnaire, you'll serve my cause and show that no one is safe from my wrath!
- I remember ... What has he done to me? This magic, irresistible, this fabulous and incredible power that flowed into me. I loved it, I remember him asking again and again.
- And that caused your loss, said the female voice. It was too much power for you, manipulated, controlled, you have served the purpose of this wizard.
- Yes ... I see myself walking in the great hall of the Council of Guilds in full session open to the public ... By the horns of the Minotaur! I exploded!
- Yes, you've been neglecting, the wizard only had to go in your direction, you'd rather believe in magic rather than us. He gave you what you wanted and you're responsible for the death of many innocent people.
- But what did you want me to do? He only had to touch me for me to fall under its influence.
- We take care of those who believe in us, this would not have happened if you had not doubted.
Sanquinam included the words of the gods, he was out of the way that fate had traced him, preferring to ignore the gods and their philosophies.
- What do you expect from me?
- Let those who have strayed from the path of the gods back to us. Lands Guem can not cope with this wizard without our intervention.
- Deus ex machina!
- Here you are faced with a choice that few mortals have before you. We can get you back on Lands Guem.
- And in return?
- Never again will doubt you do, you will be our voice, you will go look for those who do not understand us more. If you doubt then we will remember and will finish you.
Sanquinam could not pass up such an offer, the idea of no longer exist, to die at his age, was not feasible.
- We read in your soul like an open book. You'll return to Lands Guem, found Mynos, one whose grief guide not.
