《Sage of the Soul Kingdom》Book One - Memory Mirror
Advertisement
“It was your fathers intent that one day you would take over where he failed. Its been 16 years since he asked me to watch you, and I thinks it’s time we see if you’re worthy." Ye Mo said proudly.
“Everyday sense your father past away his time & space barrier array has been slowly weakening and the Great Sage has been constantly pressuring the barrier. It wont be long before it breaks and the Great Sage can send more beasts to Earth. The barrier should hold for at least three more years, so we better get started."
He then pointed to a mirror with a beautiful decorative wooden frame and said "this is known as the memory mirror, look into the mirror and you will see your memory selves, you must distinguish and organize these, if you cant figure your true self out in sixty minutes you’ll be trapped in the mirror forever."
"Memory selves? Organize? what is he talking about?" Wondered Ryuu. But he obediently walked up to the mirror, as he starred at his reflection the mirror started to ripple.
Then he heard Ye Mo say “you must find the true ones. Oh! and one is your hate and he will attack and try to kill you!”
Then before he could react his mind got sucked into the mirror, leaving his body on the other side. He was then inside the reflection of the library separated by the once again solid mirror, as he looked at the mirror he saw he was just a floating blue cloud.
As Ryuu turned to look out into the room a man in all black stood looking at a book, then another man appeared this one wore all white, then the third appeared wearing a silk kimono. As he looked at the trio he realized they were all him, one by one more and more oddly dressed Ryuu's appeared.
As he tried to remember what Ye Mo had said "you must find the true ones." Ryuu was even more puzzled now.

"The true ones, what does that even mean?" Ryuu started searching his look a likes, but each one seemed more like him then the last. He wasn’t getting anywhere, then just as he was about to lose hope he caught a break.
One of the look a likes caught his attention, this one wore a white and black kimono just like the old ones at the academy back home. Then he found one wearing the new white and black with gold trim kimono, the more he looked the more he seemed to get it some of these were memories of himself while others are just fakes. "So thats what 'find the true ones' meant" thought Ryuu.
As he was thinking, a man in a black robe wearing a mask attacked Ryuu from behind. The masked man said nothing as he continued to lash towards him, but Ryuu remembered what Ye Mo said about the one who tries to kill him is his hate, so he had already devised a plan.
After a moment he asked the man if he was okay, the masked man flew into a rage at his question and continued to slash towards him. Ryuu calmly continued to ask the man “whats wrong?” the more questions he asked the more emotional the masked man would become.
After about 10 minutes Ryuu saw the man was crying as he screamed “why am I all alone! Why do I have no one!” as he again slashed at Ryuu, but this time instead of dodging he grabbed the masked man and wrapped him tightly in his arms, as he whispered you’re not alone.
The masked man struggled as he said “you’re the one who's not alone!” hearing his words Ryuu lightly frowned as he said “your not alone either, because you’re me after all."
"We've always been alone! And now thats just gonna change!?" The masked man groaned.
"If you want to stay alone then stay, but I'd rather you come with me." As Ryuu spoke the masked man slowly stopped struggling as he turned into blue smoke and merged with Ryuu as a single tear fell to the floor.

After that Ryuu rounded up all the “true ones” and pushed them back through the mirror then as the last one stepped through, the mirror started to ripple once again, then Ryuu was back in the library in his body.
Seeing this Ye Mo was stunned as he starred at Ryuu, it only took him a fraction of the time his father had taken!
Ye Mo just roared and laughed as he said "Boy you’re something else."
"Can we please start to train now? If I only have three years then I need to start preparing right away!" Exclaimed Ryuu.
"Oh, so you want to fight the Great Sage do you?" Asked Ye Mo.
"Fight? No, I want to make him pay for killing humans and destroying our planet!" Yelled Ryuu as he chest heaved up and down.
"Hmm" thought Ye Mo as he narrowed his brows then said in a serious tone "Agreed! We better get to work then; but first there’s a few things I must give you. On that desk is a letter for you, read that first."
Ryuu slowly approached one of the desks in the back right corner of the first floor of the library.
On the desk there was two full metal 8 inch kunai, one had the word 'Caligo' engraved on it and the other had 'Ignis' along with some complicated inscriptions.
Next to those was a journal titled 'KEY', a letter addressed to him and finally, there was a palm sized stone that had a white fog to it.
"This is the stone Ye Mo had come out of." Ryuu thought inwardly.
Ryuu extended out his arm and grabbed the letter on the desk and opened the seal. Ryuu unfolded the page inside and starred at it for a long while, there was just one sentence "Beware of the three headed white snake." Ryuu couldn’t make sense of the message, so he asked Ye Mo. He furrowed his brows as even he was confused by this. "Forget it" said Ryuu as he shrugged his shoulders.
As he then reached for the journal and asked “why is this journal so special? There's tons of journals in here."
"Because that is your fathers, master Dosojins journal. Your father wrote that journal to help himself learn the three other major languages so he could study all the ancient journals and scrolls. This journal can become one of your most important possessions!" Ye Mo explained.
Ryuu was a little shocked, he didn’t think this would be his fathers journal, this definitely will come in handy in his studies.
Next he grabbed the two kunai, Ye Mo explained that "They're soul weapons,
forged from special elements and minerals. When infused with heavenly energy these weapons can be fused with ones soul, by making a blood seal."
"But you must be careful everyone has a different number of soul cages, cages hold whatever beasts or items you have a blood seal with, but you can only make as many blood seals as you have cages. Ryuu held the kunai as he understood Ye Mos words, he learned about blood seals at the academy.
He knows he has 5 cages so he raised his hand bit his thumb till it bled while pressing his thumb to the blades he activated his qi and fused it with the two kunai.
The daggers started to spin as they flew into the air, then the first turned into a black streak and flew into his soul then the second one turned into a white light and followed the first. Both then flew into his soul realm and to his surprise they both went into the same white building, where they rematerialized and floated together in a circle.
He curiously asked Ye Mo why that was, and he explained "The Caligo and Ignis kunia are a set, they're two halves of the same weapon."
