The Trial of the Possibilities (VI)

"... I see. So there is that event happening right now"

If whoever wrote this had this much knowledge, there is no doubt that at least he had one of these. That is, that kid I saw despite looked so young he was already a Seeker. I wonder if one of them had something to do with the day of the Apocalypse.

"Yes, that human had recorded the events thoughtfully" added after finishing to observe the notebook. "Well, I ask you Irregular... what side will you take? The Objects seek desperately to gather. Will you follow their call or try to go against the fate at separate them?"

"You're a Holder, right? Shouldn't you know what part of the legend is true and what's not? What is the true meaning of collecting them all?"

"My existence was created together with the Object. My job is to protect it and find a new user. I do not posses any knowledge about the other Objects or Holders, what happens after that is not of my business"

"Sounds a little carefree on your part..."

"Anyway, I want to observe the end of your determination. You have come to this point, completed my test and won my trust. What is your answer?"

I stayed silent for a while. I feel I can't believe all of his words, although it's true that I lack something to obtain what I need. With only my glove I'll be unable to overcome all the hardships that will come in the future.

On the same way when I was desperate begging for a force to help me, I stretch my right hand confirming once again my resolve.

"I don't care about that conflict. Seeker, Holder or whatever, I don't have time for that. I just need the power to achieve what I came to do in the first place. I'll think latter how to deal with those problems"

In that moment the fragments gathered joined into a new form that descended to my palm. A black katana like a night illuminated by the light of the full moon appears in front of my eyes, the sheath that protects it seems sturdy. After unsheathe I observe as the edge has a glossy red colour very flashy, similar to the blood. A mark shines in my right hand and makes an oath. From now on I'm really a Seeker, this blade's bearer.

"This is its true form, the last one was just an empty shell without any potential. This one adapted specially for you, eventually you will find out everything it has to offer"

"Specially for me, eh? Not bad" I said contemplating every detail on it. "And what about you?"

"I am free from the Object now that it has a new bearer. What happens in the future will depend on your own will. When you die I will keep it until another challenger tries to get it. That is how it has been and the cycle will continue forever"

"A sad life if you ask me..."

The sword bathe in light and stored on my palm, that's where it'll stay from now on. I don't have to call or borrow it, it's inside me. Now it's part of me.

"I must warn you about something before you go Irregular" said again the Holder.

"Okay, but my name is Asriel. I'm getting tired with that irregular stuff"

"Asriel, I comprehend that you do not want to take part in this war between Seekers, however I must say that sooner or later it will come to you even if you do not want to. Human greed is very powerful, and the Objects will continue to call each other"

"I'll have it in mind. There is something else I wanted to check, why did you said this was a forgotten Object?"

"The last bearer disappeared suddenly from your world 400 years ago without a trace. Nothing more is known about him since then"

"Even you don't know where he is?"

"It is not like I have a radar that detects constantly his whereabouts. The katana you have now is actually different from the weapon he had. This power is definitely lower, must be due to the influence of the last bearer. Since that day I had been inactive and sleeping on the wait of a new candidate. Just recently the sword vanished and came back from time to time, now I now why this irregularities took place"

In that moment behind me a hole of darkness appeared that began to swallow slowly the space around.

"What's that?"

"You have fulfilled what you came to do, there is no reason for you to stay"

"I see. Thanks so much for everything... emm, I still don't know your name" I asked while everything vanishes.

"Us Holders do not have names, it is not necessary. Besides we will not see each other again Asriel, pray that so be it"

"You don't have to say it that way"

"Now is time you return to your home. You still have some things you must know, but only time will tell... of course, if you manage to survive for that long. Good luck, I hope my actual Seeker will last more than the other-"

The sound was cut in that instant and I couldn't hear anymore.

Like when I entered before to this place time and space seemed to collapse.

Everything is stained black.

I spent the last seconds staring what is left of this dimension, his world, until my consciousness becomes one with the void.
