Chapter 70 - I’m special?

Tatski sits at her desk writing in a large check book. She feels the sickness in her chest becoming more and more painful. Lady Hiem opens the door and slowly strides in holding her staff

Hiem: "You should let me take a look at that, Tatski…"

Tatski: "I'm fine great grandmother…"

Hiem: "Your father said the same thing before he passed…"

Tatski: "Can we not talk about this. Now how was Mimoria?"

Lady Hiem shakes her head in disappointment as she sits in the chair across from Tatskis desk.

Hiem: "Young Mimorias Yawe receptors are completely normal. She's healthy and well…her Yawe is just gone."

Tatski: "That's impossible!"

Hiem: "It's not entirely…Reinhard was born with a slithering amount of Yawe, yet he's the strongest swordsman in the world."

Tatski: "So what does that mean?!"

Hiem: "Her Yawe was displaced at birth…to get it back we must find it…"

Lady Hiem stands up and paces around the office. Tatski stares at her in disbelief

Tatski: "How the hell are we supposed to do that?! That doesn't sound like an easy task to accomplish."

Hiem: "There's a place called the Land Of the Souls. It's said to home the souls of powerful people. It also holds the Yawe of every creature that dies."

Tatski: "So her Yawe is there? If that's the truth then how are we supposed to enter a place like that?"

Hiem: "There are 3 main ways to enter. You must die in battle. You were a powerful warrior but you died of old age. Or you're Yawe is too strong to exist in the mortal realm so you're forced into It"

Tatski stares at her while scratching her head…she thinks for a moment and comes up with an idea

Tatski: "So none of those things apply to Mimoria or us…so is there another way we can access it?"

Hiem: "There is one way. It's called forced entry. It's takes you and strips you of any humanity, dragging you down into the realm."

Tatski: "That…sounds terrifying."

Hiem: "It's the only way. But if we're searching for Mimorias Yawe then she's the only person who can enter."

Tatski: "Then if that's the only way then that's what she shall do. How long will it take?"

Hiem: "Give me a couple days of preparation. In the mean time let Mimoria finish her training the Reinhard."

..

Rein sneezes as he carries the unconscious Mimoria over his shoulder. Maroshima smiles proudly while walking next to him

Rein: "You're terrifying when you get serious…"

Maroshima: "Who do you think I learned it from, Master?"

Mimoria wakes up shivering. Rein drops her and she hits the ground running her head

Mimoria: "What the heck happened?…"

Maroshima: "Yeah sorry about that! When I get serious I tend to lose self control…"

Rein: "Alright enough talking! Time for the second round of training!"

After a long walk they arrive at a large pond with a large waterfall behind it. Rein drops the top of his Kimono and steps onto the water

Mimoria: "What are we doing here?…"

Rein: "This is the river that Adam and Eve birthed their children in. This pond also connects to the river that Tatskis mother sent her down. This river is filled to the brim with Yawe. If this doesn't have an effect on you then all hope will be lost."

Mimoria: "A-alright…"

Mimoira takes off her shirt and steps into the pond…Maroshima sits on the shore humming to herself. Mimoria floats in the water as rein stands perfectly on tops of the waters surface

Mimroia: "How are you doing that?"

Rein: "I transferred my Yawe from my receptors into my feet. Yawe naturally deflects water so it causes me to float."

Mimoria: "Well that's something…what am I doing in this pond though?"

Rein: "Your next next task is to defeat the beast that lives in this pond."

Mimorias body freezes at the sudden rumble of the water…a giant red beast explodes from the water screeching into the air

Mimoria: "W-WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Rein stares at the beast while holding the handle of his blade. The beast stares at rein while roaring. Rein draws his sword slightly and the blade roars louder than the beast

Rein: "Demon blade…cut."

The beast lunges forward in a fit of rage. Mimoria screams in terror as the beast throws itself towards them

Shkkkkkkk

..

The beast splits down the middle. Blood sprays into the air staining the water…Mimoria wipes the blood from her face and hair as the water shakes and swirls around them

Mimoria: "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"

Rein: "I was demonstrating to you try that out yourself"

Mimoria: "well I can't do anything if you killed the beast…"

Rein: "What are you taking about? That wasn't the beast! That was just a large fish!"

The water begins to shake violently…the surface tension of the water is broken as a large black beast burst from the water roaring into the air. The sky instantly becomes black as night as smokes pours from the gills of the beast. Rein grins as he vanishes to the shore beside Maroshima

Mimoria: "oh my god…r-rein…please…save me…"

Rein: "You got this Mimoria!"

Maroshima: "She's gonna die…"

Rein: "Oh yeah most definitely."

The beast crashes into the water grabbing Mimoria in its mouth. Mimorias screams are drowned out by the water entering her lungs. She reaches for her sword as the beast begins to drag her further and further deeper into the pond. The light from the surface begins to disappear as she reaches towards the bottomless pit.

The beast bites into her torso crushing her organs. She coughs up blood as her vision begins fading and fading. She attempts to stab the beast in its gills but that only enrages it even more. The beast bites into her arm crushing and severing it completely.

In a blast of strength Mimoria stabs the beast in its eye causing it to scream releasing her in the process. She begins swimming violently towards the surface but the beast grabs her leg dragging her back down into the darkness of the water. She makes a quick decision and cuts her leg off. She swims up to the surface and crawls to the beach coughing and bleeding.

Maroshima: "Oh no…"

Rein: "Shit."

Mimoria falls unconscious from the blood loss…

Mimoria wakes up in a dark pit…her vision clouded by the darkness of the void. She sits up as she holds her stomach

Mimoria: "Where am I? I guess I died again…"

A small voice erupts from the darkness. A small child dragging a ragged teddy bear walks from the darkness. Her jet black hair covers her eyes while her dark dress drags behind her

??: "Hello Mimoria."

Mimoria: "Who are you."

??: "Are you not afraid of me?"

Mimoria: "I've died countless times…I'm too exhausted to be scared…"

??: "I know…that is thanks to me."

Mimoria: "What do you mean…what does that mean."

??: "It's not time for you to learn yet. But soon we will meet. In the land of the souls…until then. Take this…"

The girl holds out her hand and a shinning light appears in her palm. She looks at it confused. The ball flys into Mimorias chest knocking the air out of her lungs

Mimoria: "What the hell was that?!"

??: "Yawe. You will need it for an upcoming enemy. Now wake up."

Mimoria wakes up instantly in an hospital room. She looks around the room before looking out the window into the night sky. She stares at the stars before turning her attention to the stub where her arm used to be…she lifts the blankets revealing her stubbed leg.

Rein: "Don't look too down. The doctor said they have a spell that can repair either your arm or leg. You just have to choose which one you want."

Rein walks out of the darkness of the hospital room. His red hair glowing in the moonlight

Mimoria: "w-what difference does it make anyway. I don't know why you're wasting your time on me….im useless. I'm better off going back home to Japan."

Rein: "Yeah you are pretty useless. And weak…and short. And annoying. And a crybaby. But you're human. That one thing makes you special. You're not special because you're the daughter of a powerful warrior. You're special because you're not afraid to admit when you're weak. And that's what I like about you Mimoria. Now you get some rest. We will continue your training tomorrow."

Rein walks out the room. Mimoria stares at the ceiling while holding her chest….her cheeks shine pink as reins words bounce through her mind…

Mimoria: "I'm…special…"
