A Weapon Stronger than the Eternal Blade

Simon asked, "What do you mean there's more to read? This is the end of the scroll?"

"Asta, hide the secret he wanted to share with the next Eternal Blade's wielder. In case if that scroll gets into the wrong hands." Mr. Z explained.

"What is the secret?" Kai asked calmly.

Mr. Z grabbed one end of the scroll and chanted a spell. "Vielbreaker!"

As Mr. Z cast the spell, the scroll extended. "Now read it, Kai.."

Kai started to read the scroll again, "After sealing the Dark Realm leader. I took Eclipse Arcana with me as soon as I touched Eclipse Arcana. The Eclipse Arcana showed me the future. The future I saw was completely different from what Fairies told me."

"The future Eclipse Arcana showed me was worse than the condition of the Dark Realm. I saw both Dark Realm and Astra combining into one Realm. I saw the Dark Realm leader had broken the seal, and he used the Eclipse Arcana to wipe out the entire reality we know and created his very own."

"For the first time in my life, I was afraid. I didn't know what to do. The first thing that ever came to my mind was to go and meet the last Fairy, Luna, but she disappeared. She wasn't in Astra. No one knew where she went. I looked for her, but I was never able to find her. She just left us like that."

Kai continued to read further, " The next thing that came to my mind was I used the Eclipse Arcana and found the answers myself. I took my Brother Rage to the Sacred Temple of Astra. This was the place where the Fairies first visited us thousands of years ago. My Brother and I took both Eclipse Arcana and the Eternal Blade with me to the Temple."

"As we entered the Temple, Eclipse Arcana reacted differently. It showed us the future again, but this time, it showed as the future of you, the next wielder of the Eternal Blade. We saw you fighting all by yourself, fighting the Dark Realm leader and his army, and winning. Then, the unexpected happened. The Eclipse Arcana showed us a weapon that we needed if we wanted to win this war once and for all."

"I asked my Brother to create that weapon, a weapon that can use both Eclipse Arcana and the Eternal Blade at the same time. Rage, my Brother left without even thinking twice. He took the Eclipse Arcana with him to create a weapon that will save our Realm. Tomorrow, he is coming back. It's been fifteen years since he left. But he didn't disappoint me a bit. He has created a perfect weapon that can harness the power of Eternal Blade and the Eclipse Arcana at the same time."

Kai read the next paragraph, "Sadly, I won't be there to see the weapon in use, neither my Brother will be. Tomorrow is the day both of us will die. You might be wondering why this is because I used the Watcher's spell to seal the Dark Realm leader. That spell not only sealed the Dark Realm leader, but it also cursed the Eclipse Arcana. Which means whoever wields the Eclipse Arcana will die a horrible death after his purpose of use is finished.."

"Tomorrow, our purpose of wielding the Eclipse Arcana is finished. And tomorrow is the day I will die. But I know one day you will come and fix all of this mess. Just like the Fairies said, a strong, brave, fearless warrior will come. Who wields the Eternal Blade and the Eclipse Arcana, he will be the one who can clean the mess we have created...."

The scroll finished, Kai eager to look for more wording, but there was nothing there. Before Kai could ask, Simon asked Mr. Z. "Where does it say about the Fairies being okay?"

Mr. Z said, "Are you blind! Fairies were the ones who told Asta and Rage to create that weapon."

"What do you mean?" Simon asked.

Mr. Z got furious at Simon's questions, but he still responded in a high tone. "FAIRIES' SOULS ARE TRAPPED IN ECLIPSE ARCANA!! CAN'T YOU SEE THAT!!!" MR. Z's voice echoed through the entire room.

Mr. L took over and said, "Kai, Eclipse Arcana not only took the Fairies' powers, but it also trapped their souls in itself. Fairies souls were the ones who reacted in the Eclipse Arcana when it was taken in the Temple, and they are the ones who guided Asta and Rage to make a weapon."

"But why? Why tell them when they are trapped, not when they were alive?"

"That's the answer only Fairies know. It's beyond my power," Mr. L said.

As Mr. L, Mr. Z, and Simon conversed, Kai remained silent, lost in his thoughts.

After a moment, Kai came back to reality and asked. "Who Killed him and his family? Where is that weapon? And how do I clean this mess?"

Mr. L said, "Who Killed Asta and his family is one of the answers I don't have any knowledge of. As for that weapon, it disappeared as Eclipse Arcana was shattered and disappeared in our Realm. But the weapon will come back as all the pieces of Eclipse Arcana will be gathered in that Temple once again." Mr. L continued, "Before you ask, where is that Temple? That Temple will be visible once you have gathered all six pieces of Eclipse Arcana."

Mr. Z took over and said, "As for cleaning this Fairies mess and freeing them. You must destroy the Eclipse Arcana in that Temple for the Fairies to return."

Mr. Z said further, "But getting the Eclipse Arcana won't be this easy, Kai. Asta only sealed the Dark Realm leader, not his men. They are still alive and constantly invading Astra. There might be one hundred Dark Realm Magicians or one thousand in Astra Right now."

"All of them are searching for Eclipse Arcana as we speak. Not only that, Eclipse Arcana also has its guardians who will stop you from getting it." Mr. Z stated.

"But why are they looking for Eclipse Arcana?" Simon asks.

Mr. L took over and said, "If all six pieces of Eclipse Arcana are united. Then the Dark Realm Leader's seal will break, and he will be set free."
