Kutaki's P.O.V

When I opened my eyes... She was gone...

I was laying on the ground... Facing the sky...

I sat up and clenched my fists. We're... Not going to see her again... Most likely...

I heard Art scream in frustration...

But then a few moments later, I heard him talking... To who?... I wasn't sure...

<Ahem... Testing, Testing... Ah, Good. Hello Art!>

Arthur: Sylvia, are you?!

Kutaki: ?

<If you're listening to this right now, it means I have shown both you and Taki what I actually am.>

Kutaki: What's going on???

Art looked down.

Arthur:... I think... Sylvia had left us a message... Though it seems only I can hear it...

<As frustrating as it may seem, neither of you are anywhere near ready for the whole truth. Your bodies are that of boys that have barely passed four, and while your mana cores are solid red and dark red. You're both not strong enough. As a small parting gift, I have infused my unique 'will' onto you. Your further development as a mage will depend on how well you are able to use my gift.>

Arthur:... *Who cares about some gift? I'd rather have—*

<And Art, I can imagine what you're both feeling right now. Sorrow, Anger, Guilt. But you both must remember that you have a family to look out for and a purpose to fulfil in this life. My only wish for you two is to embrace the joys and innocence of childhood, and become men that your parents and I can be proud of. When your mana core is past the white stage, you will hear from me again. At that time I will explain everything. Taki will not be able to hear my voice unfortunately, so I ask that you relay everything I say to him. Until the time comes that you hear from me again, I bid you both farewell. King Grey.>

I saw Art widen his eyes... It seems Sylvia left quite the message...

Later, he told me everything that Sylvia had told him. It didn't really help my mood, but she was right... Our priority should be getting back to our family...

Art placed the egg shaped object that was covered in Sylvia's feather in his pocket as we both wandered around the forest. The thing is, we had no idea where we were...

Kutaki: We'll definitely be able to get a better view from the tree tops... Will you be able to keep up?

Arthur:... I may not be as skilled as you yet, but I still am able to use mana rotation a little.

To demonstrate, he closed his eyes and focused, I could feel the mana in the atmosphere being pulled towards him.

His body was enhanced. So I used my own magic for my own body...

I muttered to myself.

Kutaki: Null Magic: Boost. Times 2.

A small white magic circle appeared above my head, and then I was wrapped in a grey aura.
