The sky is dark red,smoke all around, buildings burning and crumbling everywhere, people screaming and children crying,some running away,sounds of swords clashing, soldiers running, some already dead,the floor stained red with running blood, it's a war zone,one infested with the stench of death polluting even the sky,
{Scene change}, in an arena (its a giant round building with seats from near the top to the ones touching the ground,with built in shades on the top seats,the arena is big enough to host at least a hundred thousand people)
People all around watching silently, inside the arena square two boys stand carrying swords ready for a spar assumed stances and staring at each other,the match is signaled to start and they dash at each other,and one is immediately overpowered and beat brutally with punches instead of the sword then the other one grabs him by the collar and hold him dangling in the air and looks at him with eyes filled with superiority,disrespect and pure hatred.
Well, what now Edrion he's says while still holding him,I didn't even need to use my sword let alone my mana, it wouldn't have been fair since you couldn't awaken yours,can you imagine a dragon without mana,that's a failure even failures of the branch families never achieved and yet here you are a member of the main family fully inherited the blood of the dragon and even given the name of our founding ancestor but still at fifteen years you haven't awakened your mana when you should've awakened it at five
You know it would make sense if you were illegitimate but,he paused and sighs, you truly are the disappointment of the family,the sight of you makes me sick to the stomach,he throws him to the side he lands on his head first then lies down facing upwards,
(Scene change back to the apocalypse ), there's a man in his thirties nailed to a wall by a sword through his chest eyes bleeding and blood flowing down his mouth he lies there eyes barely opened, pupils grey and lifeless,in his head he speaks,
Hey partner, looks like we lost huh,a sword he's holding in his right hand glows faintly blue and answers, winning was never in the cards for us ,then the man replies, I know about that but still we had to try you know,the sword glows again and says,I wasn't finished, winning was never in the cards for us, only in this lifetime,what do you mean? The man asked.
You know me the sword laughs softly I'm an artifact that copies abilities and I have one I kept just for this moment,what? you'll start talking about reincarnation won't you?said the man, no something better something that will make all our experiences worth it, it's only activated by death, regression,in our next life you'll be armed with knowledge.
What will it cost? Asked the man,a little time away from each other chuckled the voice of the sword, make sure to find me in the next life and that time around, we'll kill all the demons.
A blue light beam shoots from the man to the sky piercing the red clouds and shining a brilliant blue light all over the battlefield,
(Back to the fight ) Edrion gets up clenches his sword barely standing up, facing down, blood dripping all over his body,Elric Ignivar his opponent who was walking away turns back and says,you want to die huh? Guess that doesn't need talent,well fine (yells) I'll grant your wish then,he dashes at Edrion
Edrion swings the sword which Elric dodges easily and punches Edrion in the gut sending him flying but Elric grabs him by the leg while midair and slams him to the ground and steps violently on his head and then starts walking away talking again,next time appreciate mercy, you're lucky killing is forbidden,
Edrion rolls sideways and lies facing up again sword in his hand and blood flowing from his face,
(scene change ) the man is now laying facing upwards and rain starts falling making the whole area dark,
Edrion in the arena starts saying "it's too dark I can't see",the crowd says what?
In the crowd there were some young students wearing the same distinguishable armour as the two fighting,the soldiers wearing more advanced armour, normal spectating people and the nobility clearly standing out with their fancy outfits and luxury seats on the top side where the shade of the arena was built.
Students, Soldiers and commoners start whispering among themselves in small voices but the nobles some were smiling others just indifferent.
(Back in the apocalypse) the man says partner where did you go,then the crowd in the arena asks among themselves did he just say partner?
Did he try to cheat?he lost though,it's not unexpected from him, can't really blame him though,
Edrion and the man speak in sync, (different locations/time), it's so cold here and it's raining where did you go,the crowd mumble to themselves again,did he get hit on the head too much, then Edrion stands up looking up, hand just hanging but still clinging to the sword that's touching the ground with it's tip,
Am I dreaming? life flashing before my eyes?where,no I should ask when am I?
Memories come flashing and flooding into his head and he starts screaming falls to the ground and starts twisting and rolling,screaming and holding the head,then a giant blue beam of light shoots out of him into the sky and he floats.
The crowd is stunned as they watch the light slowly disappear and he starts slowly descending to the ground,he flips and lands on his feet head leaning forward with hands still hanging and kneels down,
The crowd is silent but the shock on their faces was clear as day even some nobles were starting to show some confused expressions
Edrion stands, up stares at the sky again and this time says,it's blue,
He starts walking around the arena still looking at the sky not minding what was happening around him and the crowd just watched in silence until his opponent who was clearly very pissed off, finally unsheathed his sword and leaps for him screaming, this time I'll end it, only to be blocked by the sword of Edrion who wasn't even looking,still staring at the sky
