The arrival of a draft

Rito: - Abigail! You let Margaret go, didn't you?

Abigail: - Yes, I let her out of the Void Reflector.

Rito: - It's been about 2 weeks, but I still don't see her doing anything for your case.

Abigail: - Shall I find her?

Rito: - Leave it alone, there must be a good reason why she disappeared recently.

Why does my chest hurt so much? I still couldn't get over it. Rito thought to himself.

Abigail: - So what will happen now? Without Margaret, we cannot proceed with our plan.

Rito: - My ability consumes quite a lot of Aura, I won't be able to handle it for long, but until then, keep an eye on Mizeya.

Abigail: - As you wish.

Twilight and foggy morning, can you feel it?

Mizeya: - This is so boring, I'm bored.

The girl appeared next to the bed, in full physical form.

Mizeya: - Faina?

The elf girl looks at Mizeya, then sits on the edge of the bed, right next to the boy.

Faina: - Listen, we need to talk about something

I looked at the girl, but I'd never seen her with such a serious and matter-of-fact look, I can sense in advance that this conversation will be completely different from the one that took place between us now, it won't be completely superficial, something much deeper and darker is rampant or an intention?

Mizeya: - I'm listening to you.

Faina: - I heard your conversation between Demigra and...

Mizeya: - I still don't understand.

Faina: - You are the Prince of Thorns at the moment, this title is usually given to a person of the highest rank among the elves, but here it is a completely different case, which happens very rarely, since you are a human and not even a hero.

Mizeya: - Yes? I've known this for a long time, Faina, I know you didn't just want to say this.

Faina: - I'll say it well, but it's a bit cynical, especially for me. You have to choose between Demigra and me, which one do you want to marry? I know that you told Demigra the consequences of transferring my power and I'm sorry for dragging you into this, but what happened, you know it too well.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, I felt dizzy for a moment and then fell on the edge of it.

Faina: - What?! Are you okay?

My heart will jump out of place, why? I don't feel anything for Demigra and F..aina, or do I even? I can't explain this feeling, but every time I call Faina, I always feel as if she has been with me since I was a newborn.

Mizeya: - I'm fine, it's just a bit unexpected.

Faina: - So how did you decide? Me or Demigra.

Why do I have to answer such a difficult and unexpected question, right now? I do not understand.

Mizeya: - Could I have some time? This was too unexpected for me.

Faina: - You don't have to rush anything, you still have 4 years, just because of my curious nature, I can't make myself wait. Which of us do you like better?

Mizeya: - Faina! Can't we leave that for later?

Faina: - Pff, what a party-runner you are. I'd rather go back to sleep.

I just lay on the edge of my bed for a while, then got up to do my daily task, but thanks to an unusual routine, I stumbled upon that girl again.

Mizeya: - Sorry.

Eliza: - N.... othing. Hey, where are you going?

I don't have the confidence to look her in the eye right now, so I left and saved myself from the ridiculously cynical conversation.

Mizeya: - Where did I keep you? Now that everyone is pretty scattered, there couldn't be a better time to look around a little more. I'm going to see Margaret for a start.

As I get closer and closer to the soba, a strange feeling begins to take over me as if someone is watching me, I turn back with a quick but firm movement, but I don't see anything. I continue towards the direction of the soba, where there is only one door separating me, I go inside.

I enter, but there is not a single orphaned soul in the place, I turn the mirror away.

Mizeya: - Margaret are you here? Margaret!

But no answer came from the mirror, as I get closer and closer to the mirror, I put my face a little forward, I can't see anything but my face. I really can't believe it, can I be the only one so unlucky? Why is this happening to me? As I pulled my face back and stepped back, I tripped over an inappropriate map, causing me to fall straight into the mirror.

Mizeya: - Waaah.

What? Did I go through the mirror? As I look around, I only see a strange whiteness and as I breathe, it's as if my whole lungs are filled with oxygen more than usual, what is this? This place feels like I was born here, time?

Mizeya: - Faina, come forward.

Faina: - What is it again?

Mizeya: - Look around, where are we?

She's starting to behave strangely, I couldn't even tell her how I got here, but she immediately knew the answer.

Faina: - Mizeya, you know where the exit is, right?

Mizeya: - Well, I fell on the mirror and ended up here, why what is this place?

Faina: - This is an Apostolic Absorption, these are divine objects that are given only to particular people, and even within them, to people with very special conditions, so that they can even possess the object, but also be able to use it, are you sure that didn't you meet anyone in the castle who you felt stronger Aura of?

Mizeya: - I didn't feel a single drop while I was here, so what are these items good for and how can I get out?

Faina told me that these items were rarely used, that is what she had heard from ancestors. They used to be used to avert a huge disaster.

Mizeya: - And then what is this item for?

Faina: - I don't know exactly, but I can't determine the time in here at all, maybe while we are here, in fact, 1 year has already passed, I don't know.

Mizeya: - That would be a big problem, don't you happen to know how to get out of here?

Faina: - Once you've absorbed an Apostle, it's easy to get back into your plane, just let your Soul Aura cover the area.

Mizeya: - But Faina, I'm not a Soul Holder to have a Soul Aura.

Faina: - That's why I'm here, then I'll give you all my Soul Aura, you just have to let it all out, and I'll help you. Sit down.

With that, the girl bent down to Mizeya and, touching his back, filled the boy's whole body with a beautiful but steady flow of Soul Aura, and as Mizeya felt the mark on his right hand more and more strongly, he experienced a burning sensation.

Faina: - Since your body is still quite weak, you will have to channel my Soul Aura with your sword, and summon it.

Mizeya: - Dream weapon summon.

Faina: - Good, now let it flow slowly, straight into the edge of the sword, don't let anything go into the hilt.

I can feel a tingling but pleasant force spreading more and more throughout my body, like when my blood is invigorated. I focus all the Soul Aura on one point of my whole body, in my hand, and then I channel it all into the edge of my sword.

My sword is throbbing, very strongly, as if it is already trembling, trembling for an enemy that it can cut in two with one blow, but I'm sorry, now you will serve a completely different purpose.

Mizeya: - Done.

Faina: - Now stand up and raise your sword high, then stab it into the ground, we will use this to lure the exit.

I did as Faina said, I put my sword into the ground with a decisive, strong blow, and then a gap similar to a circle, but serving as a door, opened behind me.

Faina: - Mizeya is there, go through it.

I'm going through the gate, I did it.

Mizeya: - Thank you, Faina.

Faina: - Good, I'm go...ing to sl.. eep.

She must have used up all her strength, but at least I'm out.

Mizeya: - What?

I looked at the clock, but it hasn't moved for even 1 minute, has it? What happened in there almost burns in my body, as if I had been training for several hours, but compared to the heat here, it can't even be interpreted as 1 minute, the amount of concentration I had to experience with Faina?

Aika: - Are you okay, I've been looking for you, could you come with me for a while?
