Dismissal
6Am of tomorrow's morning.
As birds were singing and fresh air was yet to be poluted, Herald was awake!
Looking from on top of the house, to particularly nothing.
It seems that he couldn't sleep, Herald dreams very often about things related to his reality. So it was too loud in there! But now he's trying not to think of anything out of the norm, he's feeling like drawing and writing. That way he can find some kind of tranquility in life.
As he was calmly leaning on the edge...
He spoke to himself.
"It's been quite some time, Guiado!"
Suddenly, the messenger descends from the sky!!
"Yes Indeed."
Herald turns arround to face his old friend and mentor.
"Did you come to pay me a visit?"
Guiado. "You can say so, since you've been able to sense me then I guess you're good."
Herald. "Yeah, I haven't had the chance to thank you for saving me!"
Guiado. "No need."
Herald didn't know how to carry on the conversation from there...An awkward silence took over.
Until!!
"You're dismissed of your duty for the time being." Guiado abruptly annouces!!!
Herald shows shock on his face, but quickly whips it off with a smile.
"I knew you weren't just paying me a visit."
Guiado. "This order is coming from the Head Master himself."
Herald. "Oh really, it's that serious then..."
Guiado gets closer to Herald...
"In order to make sure you don't use your powers, or get attacked by the enemy.
I'll put a seal on you, it will summon me whenever ur powers are activated!"
Herald does not react, or even ask why such order has been given...He looks completely okay with it!
After having put the seal on him, Guiado had another thing to say.
"...You have a guest that wants to see you."
"A guest?
Who could it be?". Herald confusingly asks.
Guiado then, spreads his arm and opens his long coat!
Herald could not ever guess it, it completely went out of his mind...It was Elara!!!
"EL...ELARA!!!"
She got closer to Herald, and both looked at each other eye to eye for about 5seconds.
Unwillingly, he hugged her!! And so she did back too...
"I am very glad to see you again!"
Elara, with her calm charming voice. "Me too..."
"How are you doing?
You look more beautiful than ever!"
Elara clearly got shy, and no more could look at Herald's eyes.
"I'm fine, what about you?"
Herald, looking very happy. "Same same!!
Life has been very different from those 3months though!"
Elara. "Yeah...There are a lot of things i want to tell you."
Herald. "Is that so?!
I really want to listen to them all!!
Actually, I ha..."
Suddenly, they feel someone coming towards them from sideways!!!
Herald slowly turns his head...
Tears rolling down on her cheeks heavily, stood up Muruem looking at both Herald and Elara having their moment...
Herald could no more speak a word, or even move...Not that he was scared, but he knew right away that from the looks of it...This is terrible!!
Muruem is the jealous type, and to see another woman in her house, talking like that with her man. That is enough for her to assume all the wrong in the world.
As for Elara, she did not understand the situation at all...She doesn't know about Muruem's existence in Herald's life!
Before Muruem could speak a word, Herald knew what he has to do no matter what.
*THIRD EYE ACTIVATED!!!*
*CHANGE THE EVENT*
*PAST*
*FUTURE*
Guiado senses it, and acts even faster than Herald's thinking.
Teleporting behind Muruem!!
Herald was thrown off by that, and lost his focus for a moment, Guiado puts his palm on top of Muruem's head, immediatly putting her unconscious!!
Herald quickly holds her in his arms.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine."
Herald. "...What is it that you've done?!"
Guiado. "Like i said before, my powers are to reverse will.
I reversed her will to never forget what she saw, to the opposite!
That means she'll wake up completely forgetful of what just happened."
Herald, was so relieved to hear such thing!
"Yeah...At that moment i completely forgot, I was going to change the event no matter what."
Guiado. "Who thought the seal would be of use this soon!
We're sorry to cause such unconvenience!
After all, that is her house..."
Elara still doesn't get what's happening in front of her, she decided to voice it out.
"...Who is she?"
Herald turns his gaze towards Elara, and tries to recall something.
'...Wait! Did I ever tell her that i have a woman?
I recall telling Love...'
"She's called Muruem.
We're...engaged!"
Elara's eyes got wider as soon as she heard that!
She had them focused on Herald, who's holding Muruem like a knight saving his beloved. It was a casual look, that of someone daydreaming. But it was somewhat very creepy, because Elara never does that!!
She kept on looking, and he could not understand what does it mean...
"Oh!
You never told me that you're engaged."
....
"I..Didn't?
Oh...Hhahahaha...I thought..that...I did!". Herald, stuttering.
Elara finally blinks, and takes her eye off of Herald and lowers them to the ground.
'...What is this aura arround her, it's so scary that my skin is shiverring!
It's like that time when..."
"Elara!
We'll have to go.". Guiado called time.
Silently, she gets back next to him, without looking again at Herald's eyes.
"Euuh
Ma...Make sure to come back again Elara!!
I was really...glad to..see you..."
Guiado. "Next time i'll inform you before that happens!
Stay away from anything suspicious Herald, you saw what could happen to you last time.
Take care."
