《Gate keeper》Chapter 26 suspect's location confirmed; Rem's problems
Advertisement
Ariel smiled as she looked at Vivian. Vivian felt a shiver go through her as the heavenly queen looked at her.
"Don't worry I'll just look at your soul's memories before you go reincarnated to this life. It's the time when you spent drifting as a wandering soul before you reincarnate." (Ariel)
A shiver went down Vivian's back when she noticed that gleam. Theodore covered his ears and closed his eyes frighten. Yuki didn't mind she just eyed the room they were in. Ariel was sitting on the office chair while she was staring at Vivian as if she knew something neither of the three should know.
"It might sting her a little. Also Yuki cover your eyes unless you want to be blind permanently since sometimes the past life one isn't the one that you will see and it can also be more powerful than you think." (Ariel)
Taking her hint Yuki dragged Theodore out of the office with her. A white blue light flashed from the office. Yuki ignores it as Theodore tries to talk to her.
Instead he got a glare by the ice demon who didn't feel like telling him anything. His only thought is she always like this to strangers. She seemed to interact well with that so called heavenly queen. Rather it wasn't that she didn't want to talk to him. It was that Yuki didn't want to get involved with the vampire more than necessary she was also worried about her teammates. She hadn't heard from Clare since they entered the all girls school. The one that worried her the most is Fiona who kept having a reoccurring dream.
She was worried that Fiona would one day snap into insanity and go for them because of those dreams of hers. The other person in the group she was worried about was Jade who acted like the leader but she knew Jade was more vulnerable than the rest of them. She just didn't want to open up about her life story.
Yuki extended her hand in front of her and let snow flakes dance around on her palm. This seemed to shut Theodore up. Doing this seemed to bring back a memory of hers. It was as if she was 9 years old again and she stood with her younger sister on the barren wasteland next to the rock she had planted her sister to sit on top.
"Look this is what we can do. Ice is another form of water the longest there's water you can always form ice." (Yuki)
"That's cool sister you could form a spear with ice." (Aki)
"But the down side is that if there's a fire user spellcastor or a fire demon we are pretty much useless. That's why we train in every weapon to strength our body and our own strength to survive." (Yuki)
"Ohh. I get it but teach me how to control ice." (Aki)
Theodore shook Yuki bringing her back to her senses but she let out a annoyed sigh. She finally got one of her memories back and the idiot snapped her out of it. Anger showed in her eyes. But even that surprised Yuki when she notice it. Rather she did a double take on her emotions and counted the ones she still expressed after being a gate keeper. Anger, annoyance, boredom, and curiosity. These were the emotions she showed the most so far. Making her groan in pain at her own emotional unbalance.

"Hey stupid lady that did three different weird faces." (Theodore)
"Shut it stupid vampy. If you don't want me to kill you half way then dump you in the ocean." (Yuki)
Her threat silenced him, it was the same as saying she'd kill him. Except she'd be drowning him. Theodore stared at the ice demon as she walked back to the office away from him. He stood confused in the empty hallway. Ariel stared at Vivian who was rolling on the ground holding her stomach in pain.
"Oh stop being a pain. I can believe you were once Yu Mei, the creator that was powerful enough to create realms. How'd the heck she degrade her soul to this thing. Hello Yuki. Yea I got some information. Seems a Abyssal chaos beast reincarnated her. I think she did the same to the rest too. And why do you look like your favorite pet died." (Ariel)
"I was put as a gate keeper... I still am. Most of my memories are jumbled and my emotions are not all there. I don't even know where to look. My mother said to look for the Hidori and Midori sisters to look for more information and how to get back my emotions." (Yuki)
"Ugh stupid gods. Fine. I'll help you look for your emotions since you seem out of it too. Anything else you want to tell me." (Ariel)
Without warning she tossed Vivian out the window. As a if on instinct Vivian spread out her wings and flew in the night sky. It was Ariel's way of saying your free to go. Yuki sat down on the couch on her right. Theodore walked in with a solemn look.
"You girls want the good news or the bad news." (Theodore)
"I already gave you the drawing of the thief so what news do you have." (Ariel)
Yuki stared at Theodore as if to say you lie and your dead vampy.
"Here's the good news they found the brat. Bad news he works under the city governor's son Henry. The boy and his mother is human but they have a bigger network running into the military and the boy that your looking for was found entering the governor's house." (Theodore)
Seeing him break in cold sweat Ariel rolled her eyes. A vampire frighten of a human because of military control. She has seen many things over the centuries but this was a first. Yuki stood up and kicked the vampire in the legs as if to say man up. Where's your courage for attacking us when you were hunting for Vivian who found out your plans.
Theodore rolled on the ground covering the thing in between his legs. He glared at the ice demon.
'This bitch is unstable and unpredictable if I can't kill her she might kill me next.' (Theodore)
"You know I can read your mind can't you." (Ariel)
"You said earlier that her first soul form was Yu Mei, the one who created the Worlds and not the realms right. She's well known and lived for even longer than the 1st to 4th generation angel and demon war." (Yuki)

"So you aren't clueless." (Ariel)
"She caused many changes but what I heard was that she was a legend that changed the realms though she was mostly depressed." (Yuki)
"Her being depressed had to due with her two sisters that betrayed her and married the same guy that was using them. So on their wedding she killed both her younger sisters and cursed he guy so even in his reincarnation he'd never meet any of her young sisters again nor to use them. Though that curse was pretty nasty." (Ariel)
"Why is that." (Yuki)
"A chain curse that can be added on with the conditions." (Ariel)
"She caused more reforms and changes in the history in the realms where we lived. There's evidence and stacks of it shown throughout history about Yu Mei." (Yuki)
"I guess you can say that." (Ariel)
They walked out of the room leaving Theodore on the ground still cringing from the pain. He had given the information that Ariel wanted. So they were heading to the thief now. Theodore had mentioned governor's house. Even Ariel was clueless she could just mind read humans or she could ask for directions there.
Rem stared at the room in front of her. Sadness filled her as she guilty opened the door. A 12 year old girl hugged her, behind her was her 2 year old sister barely walking towards them happily.
"Welcome home mother." (Ember)
"Sorry..." (Rem)
These two reminded her of her lover who left them. Due to her being possessed by ghosts, her human lover left these two kids to her. But not before leaving her a living archive as a gift along with her sight of ghosts. To be exact her lover had 3 kids. The second oldest couldn't coexist at the same time as their mother so she was propelled into the far future inside the realms. Even her lover felt guilty before she did suicide. Rem was sadden each time she was reminded of her kind lover who seemed to know more about the realms and the worlds than she did. Their children weren't exactly normal since they had her ability as a chaos beast. Her lover was human though, she did dream about other life times inside the realms.
This was what differentiated her from normal humans, her spiritual perception was a bit better than the rest. Yet when her family moved into a new house she had gotten possessed for 5 whole years. When she came to her social and private life had been screwed over so badly. In despair she killed her self so the ghosts wouldn't get third chance at possessing her. They had already messed with her life memories, when she told this to Rem she was sadden. She gave birth to the youngest and killed herself. Leaving Rem depressed for a while, she knew she had to take care of the kids so she had to get her act together.
In her anger she'd usually exorcist ghosts when she could. Her hand went to Ember's black hair as she stared at little Snow as she crawled towards her after giving up trying to walk. Unsure how to react to Snow she frowned. Ember shook her mother's hand and shook her head. Rem wanted to blame Snow for her mother's death but she knew better.
She sighed as she picked up Ember and gave her a cookie.
"Mother what do you know about birth mother." (Ember)
"She'd sometimes stare off into space full of sadness because her dreams. But as you know those so called dreams were actual events in history in the Realms." (Rem)
Ember nodded when her mother told her this. She knew her birth mother and Rem were lovers. Meaning Rem was also her mother in a way. Also she knew she inherited her powers from Rem.
"I have a quick question mother. How'd my other mom get you know with us..." (Ember)
"The soul is very easy for that. As for the body is but a vessel for the soul." (Rem)
Ember blushed as she ate her cookie silently as she picked up her little sister. Snow was still crawling on the living room carpet when Ember picked her up. Her sister laughed cause she thought Ember wanted to play with her. Instead Ember combed her sister's hair with a brush silently. Snow had their mother's dark blue hair while Ember had their mother's black hair.
Her emerald eyes went to her mother who sat at the kitchen table staring at the window silently. She got her eye color from Rem. But when she asked Rem for their birth mother's name Rem would go silent.
So she stopped asking when she turned 6 years old. She's now 11 years old. Instead she stared at her mother carefully in the kitchen sitting. Her eyes turned to her sister as she sighed. Rather she was more mature for her age cause her mother would leave her often to exorcist ghosts and she'd be left with her baby sister who's just 2 years old. Her mom would leave for days to hunt down ghosts. Even she felt sad knowing the reason why her mom did so.
"Come on Snow let's go feed you some baby food." (Ember)

Luck And Chronomancy
Time Magic is the best magic as everyone knows, although there are lots of unique Talents in the world. Most people only remember Haste because it is hard to get to higher Phases of Chronomancy. That is still enough to make the Talent iconic. A lucky enough Aleatory Talent can position you for greatness or leave you languishing in obscurity. The only true equality in the world is when that glowing message pops up at 8 years old. Even if it doesn't activate until you are an adult at 16 you still know. Sure you can find a new dungeon spawn and get another chance at a rare Talent, even this one, but you have to already be ready to delve into the *Far Wilds*, which is far easier with wealth or family power. This is the story of where my good fortune took me and the difference it made, even among a party of 7 others including an Arcanist. It is a journey of magic and monsters but also math, which some think is actually worse. Luckily I was born with Intelligence and Focus as my personal traits, and my parents were scholars. Of course Chronomancy can also be a frontline combat talent. Versitility well beyond other Elder Talents like Gravity, Abstraction, or Arcana. Might could have worked for me, too. I also met a runaway princess. All the best adventures have a princess. She hated being a noble and we didn't get married but it still counts. Besides she really filled out our front line. All that Leadership training came in handy. I still don't know where she's from. Who cares? How well Haste goes with giant hammers is what's important. I never learned much about anyone in the party, except the one I grew up with. I'm not a people person. I just wanted to optimize dungeon clearing time. *******Story Details******* No romance, politics, or traumatizing content, slice of life, or even dialogue. 1st person narration, like a guide/adventure log. 2000-7000 words a day, maybe 40-60% rpgish combat log with some reasoning on combat decisions, with the rest character Talent discussion and progression stuff. 8 person party with a decent variety in roles. Party members usually have 2 primary functions. Told from the support/control Chronomancer's perspective. Each party member will have 6 Basic/Background Traits, then 3 actual Talents with abilities. Capstone from their Educational Institution, Arbritrary as a gift from the temples, and Aleatory which is decided at birth, revealed at 8, and activated after adulthood at 16. Aleatory Traits ignore requirements and are random why is why they are so important. They'll gain new Talents from finding Dungeons to consume in the *Wilds*. Mature dungeons in cities can provide *Challenges* to raise the Phase of a Talent, up to 3 times from 1 to 4. Each character will get to roughly 8 non-Trait Talents. Attributes come exclusive from Talents, are required by Talents, and provide various effects as well. I designed about 220 Talents with abilities, 4 in each of 4 phases. "Traits" are just Attribute stuff. I'm not sure how many will be detailed in the story, more than 100 for sure. I used Talents because I want to be free of the legacy of tabletop. Half those rules are just because of the limitations inherent in a pre-computer ttrpg. This story mostly uses combat Talents, although like 1/3 of the 220 are for crafting and other society and economy stuff. If you really wanted to be a Thief you might take Intuition, Awarness, and Might for Basic Traits and Deftness, Manipulation, and Trickery for Family/Education. Then you'd pick Acrobatics, and Climbing for Educational Capstone and Arbitrary traits. You Aleatory Trait might be Shadow(Light/Dark) Magic, Umbramancy. A Bard might swap Dexterity for Charisma, Music for Acrobatics, and have gotten Illusion(Shadow/Sound(Air/Force)) for their Aleatory Trait.
