Chapter 5 - trail to vacna

The tempeture slowly turns into a somber cold, thin breeze blows through as Keith is kneeling down looking at the lifeless body.

Tears pouring down casting first feeling of heart break. A sad tone in the boy voice as he cires out, "Why are you not waking up?"

Black clouds fill up the sky, black rain pours down from it. The breeze begins to pick up speed, Keith grabs some of Roelgenheld things putting into a traveler bag. "I need to keep traveling just two more days. Right old man?" This thought gives him reason to still travel up north to the land of the Elves.

Traveling through the forest a few hours pass, taking a short rest the rain is hitting harder then before.

"What am I fighting for?" Keith says sadly.

Wind picks up and lighting appears nearly hitting him, Keith quickly dodges. The lighting strike creates a big cloud of smoke.

"What was that?" Wondering on how a force of lighting creates such power.

A figure comes out of the smoke.

"Well, I thinks time that we meet son of Krol Ko Gen." Figure smiles extending his hand out for assistance.

Keith looks at the hand but choose to pull himself up. "Who are you?" Keith asks.

The figure pulls his hand away, with a calm tone figure says "My name is Ashinta."

Smoke fully clears Ashinta has skeleton head and dressed in a ink-dark fabric.

"I bet that you have alot of questions, but let me ask you one question. What your name?"

Ashinta says coldly. Keith gets shaken up by by the question, while taking a long deep breath to calm himself down.

"My name is Keith." Says with a hint of fear in his voice. "Well what is your last name?" Ashina glares down at him.

"Keith Ogunnild!" As Keith thinks on the spot for a last name to create for his own.

"Keith Ogunnild?..." Ashinta mumbles to himself deep into thought. Smile forms on his face.

"What a wonderful name" Says with excitement.

"Well I know that you do have alot of questions, but I will be able to answer five once every four years." Keith faces turns into surprise.

"Only five questions once every four years? Are you kidding me?!" Keith screams.

"I just lost someone recently who I saw like a father to me." Tears pours down the boy face.

Clenching his fist tight screams "SO! Lucky for you I only have two questions."

Ashinta is surprised by this choice.

"Well If you want only just two questions. I'll be leaving after after I give you the answers."

Keith face turns cold response "I don't care! I only have a two question. So my first question will be that what is with this fate stuff?" Ashinta walks around back and forth on how to answer this question.

"When people are fated to die, depending in how they will die a certain power within different individuals." Keith understands the answer remembering Roelgenheld having abilities of his own.

"Now for my second question, why am I born with a strong amount of free will at brith?"

Keith asked.

"Well that is very good question." Ashinta ponders into thought on how he could answer the question.

"Well what I think on why you born with alot of free will. That would be because your father Kon is the natural enemy to the goddess of death." Keith doesn't understand on who his father is before he could ask another question Ashinta interupes.

"Before you asked another question you did chose only two so you need to live with that choice" Keith nods understanding the choices he's made.

Ashinta goes into his pocket pulling out a black lighter. As his thumb press down on the lighter, a black fire in-govles around him.

Keith eyes widen up to the feeling the fire feeling cold instead of it being hot.

Man in black suit vanishes within the fire all is being left is a tiny flame.

"Why Is this happening?" Is the only thought it comes through Keith's mind after being approached by this mysterious man, but his only opinion is to keep moving forward.

Going around in his bag to find a map to remember on where that he needs to go, "Vacna" the land of the elves.

Remembering that he can learn what he needs to do there as he looks down at his pendant.

Only 8 hours of travel left, Keith picks himself back up and pushing on forward.

His eyes look down at the map on hoping it closer then he thinks. A sound of mutiliple horse gallops seems to be near by. Turning his head around he sees a gray silver carriage with gem encoded insignias on the door as it makes a stoppage.

The door slowly opens up, Keith rushes through the bag to find a weapon on hoping defending against this being a potential threat, but the fear turns into awe.

A woman with sliver hair and eyes with pointed hairs wearing alot of jewelry.

"Who are you?" Keith question curiosity.

Woman head tilts slightly to the right with her eyebrows slightly raised up.

Woman thinks for a momment, takes a look at the boy as if she scanning for something.

"Intresing, it seems you don't have a fated power." Keith is getting confused to her words.

"What is a fated power?" That question hangs in the air as it finally sinks into this mind.

"My name is Marydelle Franziska and I'm from the Franskisa family." She says brushing her hair aside.

Keith says

"You still haven't answered my question on the fated power!"

Marydelle points with her index finger blue energy glows on it, drawing some signals summons a little create looking a bit like a geko opening there little eyes.

"Hello sir! my name is Immo and I'm missess Marydelle spirt companion." The little creature jumping with excitement while pulling out a book the a size of a stone.

Immo uses his tiny fingers turning the pages stopping at the middle of the book chapter of the fates.

"The fate power of is a gift from the goddess of fate herself Yazza! Whatever your destiny is you get a power link towards it."

The pages explains that some of the abilities can be psychical, mind based and soul base powers.

"The name we do call our life force is manda! It's in all of life the air, the landscape, creatures and us humanoids." After the immo finishes explains jumps onto Keith arm studying the boy.

"Oh my misses Franziska" the little creature turns his head looking back.

"This boy is not bound by fate! If he has the proper training he could access a power beyond fate itself!." Before immo could explain further the horses make a stop at a white gate with some enchanting ruins on the frame hearing a knock on the carriage door.

"Misses Franziska, we have made it to our stop at Vacna!." Keith is one the first people to get out of the carriage looking at the gate in awe.
