More information acquired

Another day, Probably new events. Taric stood up from his bed got dressed and left his apartment.

Another nice morning. "The suns embrace is welcome." Said Taric as he continued, Through the park. There weren't many people in the park In the mornings, Neither in the nights.

The sun was gentle, Warming Him slowly, It was nice to be showered in sunlight, That does not burn you.

Taric continued walking toward the school. Leaving the park. And reaching the gates. He was still commented by most of the people in the school, But this didn't bother him.

"Oh, Hey Taric." A familiar voice was heard

Taric tuned around and replied "Hey Rias." He looked behind her and she Issei

"Can you come the club after class? We have something to discuss." Rias asked

Taric waved at Iseei and replied "Sure. I will come after class then. Till then, See you."

"Bye."

Taric walked away and entered the school. He then went through the hallway to his classroom. It didn't take long before Issei came aswell

"Hey Taric." He said

"Yeah?"

"Why do you have long hair?" Iseei asked

"I just like myself with it." Taric answered proudly

The bell rang and with it the teacher entered. Nothing much learned. It took a few boring hours for the bell to ring again. "That took long enough." Taric said as he grabbed his briefcase and walked toward the club. On his way there he met Kiba Who was going toward his room. They exchanged a few words, and both of them continued on their own ways

Taric reached the club and heard a weird sound... Water pouring out of a shower and crashing onto the ground.

Koneko was on the couch, She sat silently and didn't even greet.

"Oh, Hey Taric. Rias is currently taking a shower, She will be out any minute, To tell you something. You can sit until she gets out." Akeno said with a smile

"No, I Did prefer standing up." Taric replied

"It's your choice." Akeno said with the same smile.

After a minute Issei and Kiba came in.

As he heard the shower he made a weird face... It didn't take long before Rias left the shower with her school uniform. "So we have to new members to the peerage Issei, As a pawn, And Taric as a bishop. Yesterday I made a bit of changes of the system so I can make it official. yet it is not official.

You are not truly a part of the peerage, But you are counted as one, Which means you get to keep your humanity as well as free will. Even though I never said anything about taking your free will."

"I just don't need to be bound by anyone. It is my choice to help you out." Taric said

"And we are appreciative about your choice to help us." Rias replied

"What are we even talking about???" Issei asked with his hands on his hand. He really seemed confused

"Do you know Raynare?" Rias asked

"How do you know that name?" Issei asked with anger in his tone

"It was not a dream Issei. It was all real. And the only way I could save you is by reincarnating you. You are now one of us." Rias said

Then they stand up and let out their wings. Which let out Issei's wings.

Taric didn't had wings. He had light around him.

"In the darkness one can truly shine." Taric said as he got the attention of everyone.

"Do you see what is the difference now? That is why I chose to continue being a human, Because all life has potential, But most people waste it, But i didn't."

"This light. I have never seen such. Not even an angel has had such light, there were simply white wings, But I have never seen this. Just what are you?" Rias asked confused

"Hope." Taric simply answered with pitiful look on his face.

"Such a beautiful word, from such a beautiful man." Akeno said

"Thank you." Taric said looking down on them. He was taller than anyone in the room, So looking down on them was inevitable.

Everything was silent, After these words. The silence felt unbreakable, As no one knew what to say. All were lost in their mind except Taric, And Akeno who was too focused on him.

"Lets break this silence. Shall we?" Taric said

Rias took a bit before getting back to her senses. "Right. Issei is simply a reincarnated devil, By me. Taric if you want you can go. You are now officially non-officially part of the peerage. Yeah it is weird."

"Ok, Have a great night. Everyone" Taric said as he opened the doors and left the building

Akeno didn't miss to say goodbye with a smile

He went out of the building and took a long walk, Which had a nice view, the clouds mixed with sunlight were beautiful. "The face of the sky. A face that I will never forget." He said to himself As he continued walking reaching the park, He enjoyed the beauty of this world. At one side you can see the setting sun, And on the other Night approaching. Two world yet one place, Fabulous.

The weather was nice, It was a bit windy, but Taric have went through more on mount Targon, After being reincarnated as an aspect he had more responsibilities. And being sent here was like a bit of rest yet new experience and more potential to be acquired.

Taric continues walking and enjoying the beauty of the world. He gets so carried away that he forgets how he got his apartment while walking. He Takes a nice cold shower, And After it goes to sleep.

(A comment: I will be switching to first person. It is easier.)

I stood from my bed and went to the balcony For a bit. I waited a few minutes before realizing that I am not getting tired, All that I can do is hang around till I feel tired. The first thing that came to mind was taking a walk so I can exhaust myself, But this won't be enough. I am too fit to get tired from physical exercises, But don't forget it does not matter the power. It matters the number

...

I forgor 💀 about my outfit as an aspect. "I can probably summon it. Even though it does not help in a fight, It is still nice to have." As I said that, I focused on the clothes on me. It was replaced by my old clothes. "Good to have you again, Reminds me of mount Targon, Even though I will never forget this place. It would be nice to have this in battle, But not right now." I said to myself Before I changed my clothes.

I left my apartment building and started running around. Everything was nice, The weather, The experience, The view. Until something happened, A spear of light flew at my direction, I dodged it before it could pierce my throat , When I looked at the direction of the source, There were two people one on the ground and the other standing there. I immediately increase my speed to the speed of light, And in the blink of an eye I was there. One of them summoned a red gauntlet Which had a lot of force, The other was sent flying, Tearing their clothes apart. Oh that's issei "Hello there Issei." I said to him

"Oh, Taric I didn't see you there." He replied to me.

"So what is the problem? Cause one of you threw a spear at me." I asked

"Oh I dodged her attack..." Issei said

"Ok let's deal with this." I said as I turned toward the other person. It was a woman with black wings Her clothes were torn of but I just ignored it "Why are you here and what are your intentions?" I asked

"Like I am going to tell you. I have better things to do." She said as she flew away. She escaped because I let her to, I have morals and if I can teach them to have morals too, I would gladly spare them.

"So Issei, What are you doing here? And why is she attacking you?" I asked as I helped Issei stand up

"I was sent here by Rias, She gave me one of Koneko's tasks. I didn't get much from it except an argument. If I did good, I could get the chance of getting servants And I can do everything to them." He said with a perverted face

"..." I had no words.

"Hey why so quite?" Issei asked

"Why do you wish to bound someone from their free will." I asked him

"You know where I am going with this..." He answered

*Sigh* "That's the worst motive I have heard ever." I said

I started walking toward the club building With Issei to make sure, He is safe. "Why are you walking with me?" Issei asked

"I can't fall asleep, And it seems that I am not getting tired, So why not." I answered

We continued walking to the club building

When we were there . Everyone seemed surprised to see me "Welcome back, Taric." Akeno said cheerfully

I simply smile to her and wave my hand

"Hey Rias I managed to summon this power you were talking about." Issei yelled behind me

"Good job Issei. And Taric why are you here? Usually you don't come this late." Rias said

"I can't fall asleep. That's all. And on my run, So I can condition myself to be able, I came a across Issei being attacked by a woman with black wings." I explained

"What were the wings? With feathers, Or without?" Rias asked

"With feathers for sure. When she flew a way some feathers fall off" I said

"Then it is a fallen angel that attacked him." Rias said

I thought for a bit and asked something "What is their purpose? Why are they trying to kill you?"

"They try to satisfy God by killing us, devils. But their dark emotions have driven them to the underworld with no chance of redemption." Rias explained

"So misguided, Those who fallen." I said quietly

It was getting silent I had no idea what to say so I decided to leave. I left the room and I was about to leave. Someone is following me "Hey. Do you want me to Help you with the sleeping problem?" A Girls voice was heard. It was recognizable, It was Akeno She was whispering to me. "I feel a bit tired, But curious. How do you plan to help me?" I asked

"Oh n-nothing." She replied, She was also blushing a little.

"It's okay If you are impressed." I said

"From what?" She asked

"From me." I replied

"..." She blushed even more.

[Her mind] "I was supposed to be seductive, He hasn't even done anything except for talking and I am already falling for him."

[Back to the conversation]

"You indeed are handsome, But I am wondering. Are you gay?" she asked

"No. I just love my looks." I answered

"You indeed have reasons to. You are strangely attractive, It's like you have put a charm on me." Akeno said looked at me

"So you decided to be truthful to yourself and myself included. Now you shine even brighter, But I see a truth you don't want to reveal... Why do you hide it?" I asked looking at her with pitiful eyes

"Hide what? I am not hiding anything." She said nervously, Her palms were sweating

I looked at her for a moment "Do you have a feather?" I asked

"..." She looked at the floor

I put my hand on her shoulder, "Don't be ashamed of others doing."

She left out a tear, I opened my arms. She came closer and I gave her a hug. "Thank you." She said quietly as she stopped crying and calmed down.

"There is no problem." I whispered

It continued for a few more seconds before she said "Ok, I think I am fine now. Thank you again."

"No problem" I said as I turned around, We both went on our ways "Also, Call me if you want." I said she looked at me and smiled "Ok, Have a great night."

"You too." I replied and went home to sleep.
