Chapter 72 - reborn

??: "Mimoria…do you remember the first time we met…"

…

..

Mimoria stares at the burning and destroyed village holding her bleeding stomach…she looks around at the corpses around her. The distant sound of swords clashing and the overwhelming feeling of Yawe in the air.

…

..

.

Mimoria: "We've never met…I don't remember you…"

…

..

.

Wudin floats in the air as Yawe swirls around him. His taunting laugh cracks through the air like a horrible melody. He screams something into the air but his voice is drowned out by the ringing in her ears.

…

..

.

??: "You were a still born. You were born dead…just like me. But I gave you life…I gave you something to live for…"

…

..

.

Mimoria stares blankly at Tatskis crumbled and mangled body. Her eyes piercing into Mimorias soul. Mimoria feels the sadness and anger in her eyes.

Lady Hiem stares at Mimoria from a distance away holding her old crumbling body. She raises her hand as it shines with a rainbow light. She opens her mouth to say something but again her voice is drowned out by the ringing in Mimorias ears

…

..

.

Mimoria: "What's my purpose. I'm not strong enough to help the people I care about…I'm nothing like my father…I'm nothing like aunt Tatski…who am I…"

…

..

.

Rein limps through the village while dozens of swords protrude from his back. He holds Maroshimas lifeless corpses in his hands as he struggles to keep upright. His face covered by his red hair and his hands covered with the blood of his first student. He whispers something into Maroshimas ear before collapsing against a wall holding her corpse close.

Two armed men appear infront of him with smug faces. Their blades shine in the red mist of the sky….blood splashes on the wall as they swing their blades.

…

..

.

??: "Death is your reward. Living is your punishment. Your only duty as a servant of death is to protect the ones you love from death. Come to me my student…I'll teach you what it means to die."

…

..

.

Wudin spots Mimoria sitting on the ground. He lands infront of her while holding Reins broken blade. He walks over calmly and stares at her.

Wudin: "Your father was a strong warrior. I respect him for that…but my father is the true ruler of this world."

Wudin swings the blade chopping her head off in one clean swoop. Lady Hiem stares in shock as a small tear slides down her cheek. Wudin grabs her head and throws it into a fountain.

Hiem: "All hope is lost…"

…

..

.

??: "Mimoria. Wake up…"

Mimoria slowly awakens from her sleep. She looks around her taking in the crushing weight of the grand cathedral she's in. She looks down at her arm and leg noticing their sudden reappearance. She looks around one more time as she spots a women in a long black dress sitting on the ground across from her

Mimoria: "W-where am I…"

??: "My home. The land of the souls…"

Mimoria: "Oh. So I've finally died…it's about time."

??: "Unfortunately you did die. But you're not dead forever. I temporarily suspended your respawn so we can talk here."

Mimoria: "Who are you? And why are you so interested in me…"

The woman stands up and walks over to a grand window. The cathedral seems to be miles and miles in the due to the clouds floating under it.

Death: "I have many names. But the mass population refers to me as lady death. I'm the one who gave you your power at birth…you're a key part of this universes existence."

Mimoria: "I'm so confused! Why me?! Why not someone like my father?! Or my aunt?! Why me?!"

Death: "Simple. You're weak. You're small. But yet there's a potential in you that not even Connie Warri had. I want to see you shine my child…I want to see you grow."

Mimoria: "What do you want from me? You say all of these strange things and you've yet to tell me what you truly want!"

Death: "I want you to slay the king of this land. His name is king Hensley…he's. Tyrant who needs to be dealt with. I will force a reincarnation for you so you can be comfortable with this world."

Mimoria: "W-what?! Why can't you do it?!"

Death: "I'm bound to this cathedral by the king. Once he is defeated then I will be able to leave"

Mimoria: "O-oh…this is all so sudden. I don't think I'm ready…"

Death: "No one is truly ready. But we must do what is necessary to survive…a couple more things. When I reincarnate you I will fill your body to the brim with Yawe"

Mimoria: "My body doesn't have Yawe…the only reason for me being here is to find my Yawe!"

Death: "That's why I will pour mine into your body. You will be my greatest soldier. Now our time is up! Good luck in your new life Mimoria!"

Mimoria stares at her in confusion as the ground underneath her opens up and she falls into a bright red void. Her vision cuts to black as she loses consciousness….

…

..

.

Muffled voices…

…

..

Bah dump….Bah dump…Ba dump…

…

..

Mimoria: "So dark…I can't move…or hear…or see…"

…

..

.

A small light appears in the darkness…she stares at the light confusingly. She slowly floats towards the light…

…

..

Pop!

…

..

Mimoria stares up at the ceiling of the dimly lit room she's in. She looks around confused and wet…she opens her mouth to speak but only gibberish comes from her mouth.

A man with long blonde hair stares at her with a stern face. He looks up at the woman with a big goofy smile

Edwin: "Look Fiona! He has your eyes!"

The exhausted woman stares down at Mimoria as tears slowly flow down her face

Fiona: "Y-yes he does…and he has your wonderful hair…"

Mimoria: "What are they talking about?! Is this the reincarnation lady death was referring too?!"

Mimoria opens her mouth to say something but gibberish falls out yet again. Edwin and Fiona laugh at the babbling

Fiona: "What shall we name him?"

Edwin: "Henry…He will be named Henry Mono Saikyo! After my father"

Fiona: "Henry it is…welcome to our family…"

Mimoria: "Henry…I guess I'll have to play the part until I'm old enough…"

So that begins the newest journey for Mimoria. Living her newly found life as someone different. But her goal remains the same…kill the king of this land and find a way home.
