《Gate keeper》Ch 17 Ariana and the sword's lineage
Advertisement
"You were used by Miyabi's grandmother and been in their family for a while in that sword right." (Ariana)
"I see you wanted to call me out to hear the details of Niana's death. You mean Miyabi's mother right." (Undine) (Niana meant everlasting love in the human tongue in their world, her mother named her that because her love for her daughter.)
Ariana nodded.
"Many centuries ago, this story began with a young naive young girl. Her lack of experience made her fall in love with the netherworld's heir Blade. Blade was a wolf demon, a great assassin and playboy. You could say he was a great warrior. Their love lasted for a while. Her mother warned her many times that she should be careful. Those two lived happily and had 100 kids. Of those you know the 50th daughter was Miyabi Azual. The 1st oldest is Reina Azual. Later driven by her father into fit of rage Reina couldn't stand her father's constantly bringing his lovers for his wife to see. Niana was heart broken by his bold acts in front of her. The last straw for Reina Azual was when they brought her to the inside of a volcano with one of his lover's and he killed her (Niana)." (Undine)
"That meant she killed her own father." (Ariana)
"A love tragedy, ironic right. Miyabi was young then and Niana was always worrying over her daughter back then. So instead of moving on though her daughter was a S rank soul reaper. She chose to stay close to Miyabi. Young Miyabi was just 95 that year but her appearance was 15 years old. Miyabi was already the owner of our sword, at the age of 12. Her grandmother handed us to her, to protect her and guide her. Ifrit was very irritated and Slyph was very stupidly stubborn, Volt was rash, and Rem she was kind towards that gentle girl. Depressed and in pain at the loss of her mother Miyabi created a city to honor her mother's memories." (Undine)

"Hey then do you know the other Elemental spirits that was created by human beliefs." (Ariana)
"Aqua, Salamander, Gnome, Lumina the spirit of light, Kuro the spirit of shadows, Erina the spirit of moon, Meta the spirit god of domains, Letis the spirit queen of us elemental spirits, Odin the spirit of storm." (Undine)
Her words meant she hasn't seen them since the blacksmith sealed them in the sword.
"Sorry I asked." (Ariana)
"No it's me that got sentimental." (Undine)
"I shouldn't have asked right." (Ariana)
"I have no clue about the spirits that were born afterwards since I was taken when I was still young. About 13 years old. I knew nothing of the world. My only bet is that Aqua regrets taking me out to see the humans that created us by belief that we aren't like the spirit race that man knows about in the worlds where they go to the spirit world if they can't reincarnate." (Undine)
Ariana stares at the city as she swing her legs from the clock tower's ledge as she sat there. Undine had told her about the spirit world. There was two: the elementals that was created by human beliefs and the spirit world where those that couldn't reincarnate ends up.
"Why do you seem distant and distracted." (Undine)
"Oh sorry I just thought how different." (Ariana)
"Tell me what's really on your mind." (Undine)
"Something older sister said about Earth. On earth there are religions said to believe in a heaven or hell. That you'll end up there depending on your life as a human. There's also some who believe in the after life or those who are called atheists that doesn't share a belief in a God. Then there are those that believe in spirits, but sister calls them ghosts saying there's some people among the humans who can see these that died. Sometimes they're lingering and do evil to those around them. Many think they don't exist until they happen on it. (Bad luck) I thought naive and idiotic humans can live life without worries but sister just shook her head." (Ariana)

"I remember Miyabi called us supernatural beings that human can't explain sometimes. But we're living just like everyone else." (Undine)
"Ghosts are lingering, sometimes they have strong attachments. Not wanting to let go. Or they've been harmed in the past wanting to be the victim. They latch on to others, living beings so to speak and make their life a living hell. Sister said she heard from experiences or she found some news on it sometimes." (Ariana)
"They always go for the stubborn mortals even in our world. They're the most ugly, to look at they for their own greed possess a person against their will. And move their body as they please to live the life they want or never had. Even Miyabi was disgusted because the soul in the body had pleaded with her for mercy (to end their life). That very greed to live again is so tempting for them they go straight for those with a bit of spiritual adept powers but not enough to kick them out. Or try to resist them." (Undine)
"Your weapon ran in their family for a while did it not." (Ariana)
"Right you forgot Golem is also inside the sword too." (Undine)
"Geh, he's always sleeping." (Ariana)
"That being said I bet you forgot he was even there." (Undine)
"Well you wouldn't misuse us either since your a branch family of Azual family I know it anywhere." (Slyph)
"What are you a dog." (Ifrit and Undine)
"No I used my wind to detect that scent." (Slyph)
"It's decided he has a nose like one." (Undine)
