《Gate keeper》Chapter 27 remnants and truths
Advertisement
Ariel and Yuki walked until they were in the center of the site where the thief was hiding. Elsewhere Isabella had ran away panting after getting separated from Jade. How'd her day get abnormal than what it already was? She got a call from Selena saying that Yuki was missing. Then she went outside for a breather but she noticed Leo going somewhere so she followed the Baron Vampire. She later met up with Jade who seemed worried too. Then they got chased by ghouls and they heard Leo laughing.
"What now stupid Harpy! Cat got your tongue." (Leo)
"Didn't you find your sister already stop this nonsense." (Isabella)
Ariana stood on the clock tower in city center close to where Yuki and Ariel entered the governor's house. But instead her eyes were on the screen watching the screen which showed a crazed Leo cornering Isabella through her laptop. She bit her lips bitterly but didn't say anything through her line of communication.
(Just so you know our mc does care about her teammates that's why she warned them in the beginning to be wary of Leo because he might betray them. But she acts like she wants to work alone instead of involving them.)
"Jade they won't let you get away from this." (Isabella)
"A fake celestial like you has no power over me." (Leo)
Ariana shifted herself uncomfortably as she felt a huge pressure let out off in the direction where the two were. Her eyes widen when she saw Undine come out of the sword herself and seemed shocked.
"What's wrong." (Ariana)
"Setsuna is what's wrong. Or as you guys know her as the unknown angel. But those of us of the olden age know that true historical fact. This former angel dated back to the first generation angels. Her two older sisters were once human princesses. The 1st eldest was Hima the demon who turned from a fallen angel to a demon. Hina her 2nd sister who was betrayed by her brother for his lover (boyfriend). In her second life she lived as a angel. Setsuna died from depression as a human and was reborn as a angel with 16 paired of wings, a monstrosity that we label as realm destroyers. But before being reborn as a angel she awakened her ancestral heritage of the destruction Phoenix and life dragon." (Undine)
"Then why do you sound so solemn finding out her energy source." (Ariana)
"Don't interrupt what I haven't finished yet. Those aren't even the historical events you should be worried about. The fact as that her sister Hina was used as a baby farm due to low birth rate from war by their ruling god of that heaven. This angered Setsuna though she stayed neutral, she had sealed her 16 paired wings only showing 4 pairs. Anyway as I was saying her sisters were used by the devil and the god. So it angered her on the last war of the 1st angel war. Her sister Hima was threatened to go into war against her goody two shoes sister Hina who followed things without question. Now here comes the most revealing facts of historical importance to all angels. Setsuna killed the god and the devil, but not before the devil sealed the fallen angel Setsuna into a person far off in the future. To you that was the far past." (Undine)
"You sound solemn and very scared now why is that." (Ariana)
"Short version she's as powerful as a chaos being maybe more and it's a she got unsealed by in my past when Miyabi was alive. It was terrifying she got unsealed and turned into a fucking devil demon. You know they look like freaking dragonkin. That was fucking scary how much the plants inside the valley and the plains that was 8 billion miles away withered away. Do you know how scary that was plus her real pressure from just waking up after being unsealed." (Undine)

"Undine, are you sure your not crazy from old age." (Ariana)
"I don't forget that pressure wherever I'd go." (Undine)
Their focus went back to the screen to see what was happening a powerhouse had just appeared and had frighten Undine.
"Just a quick question if Hina was called mother of all angel then that means the 2nd generations and below are her kids right? What generation was the one when Miyabi was alive." (Ariana)
"42nd generation." (Undine)
Leo jumped down from the sliding latter from the veranda when he saw Isabella looking around for a way to escape. Instead he looked amuse.
"Which idiot woke me up with these lowly growls and grunts of zombies." (Silvered haired girl)
The silver haired girl with snow white pale skin glared at the ghouls in groups of thirty in front of her. Rather Leo and Isabella were stunned she looked like she was only 15 years old yet the way she spoke had a accent that even Isabella seemed shocked about. An look of annoyance showed on her face when she saw the lowest class of vampire possible a baron class.
Her pale hand went through her hair as she sighed. Even Isabella blinked when she saw the girl wearing clothes you'd find from medieval era yet the red dress matched her pale skin. What surprised the harpy was the fact that the girl kicked a can at the ghoul making it lose it's head. Instead Leo was stunned by this unwelcome during guest.
"Hey who the fuck do you think you are to kill my ghouls who's going to have their lunch." (Leo)
"Such a lowly bunch. Even lower than zombies they seemed to die upon contact with a little force. As for my name you have no need to know you lowly baron. But I'll say it this once Setsuna Vanilla Icilia. As you would also know me as the former killer of Hina." (Setsuna)
Undine felt chills when she remembered the first thing Setsuna did was revive Hina and Hima. Hina's body was put inside a statue by her 2nd generation children to honor her honorable death in the war as they justified it. Hima's body was preserved in a tomb. Yet upon reviving Hina charged at Hina who was newly turned into a devil and ended up with a hand through her chest. Hima tried to reason with Setsuna to try to turn herself back to an angel but Setsuna said she gave that up. The reason was that they were killed as pawns by the god and the devil. She forest killed the god which then turned her into a fallen angel then she went after the devil but ended up sealed inside someone else for centuries.
Setsuna wasn't a person of bad influence she just went with the flow of things and how she felt on a whim most of the time after that.
Leo's eye brows raised confused. Back at the governor's office Yuki staggered when she felt a pressure released from the south end of the city. Her heart felt uneasy, Ariel also turned to look but her eyes glowed brightly. Ariel was alive during Miyabi's era of her prime so she knew of Setsuna's revival too. She knew this pressure of abnormal that collected high quality of energy from it's surroundings.
"So she's here too. She did say she only wanted peace with her sisters in her life yet she accidentally killed her older sister on instincts as a self defense even she regrets that one." (Ariel)

"Did you say something." (Yuki)
"Nothing at all." (Ariel)
Isabella was shocked when she remembered something she saw in the gods and goddesses file history. A angel had the same name as the girl before her and killed the god of the ruling heaven in anger. The reported reason said it was cause the god and the devil used her older sisters in the 1st angel and demon war as a pawns, that was the true 1st angel war. Records of it was lost so she thought it was a myth.
"Hi Rem seems you kept looking for even my wandering soul." (???)
"Wait Lin don't go." (Rem)
"I'll go where my soul takes me to my next life, didn't I say so." (Lin)
"No you won't be the same. The kind, gentle and caring side of you that you hide from your broken family." (Rem)
"Yes I lived a human life with a uncaring mother. I can see why I split so many times in the historical events inside your guys worlds. First one I was Yu Mei. I remember all of them. Even after I split and felt the pain of splitting and being someone else. The one that got me most as interesting was when I was Blade Azual's older sister where I could control the body and be myself in my actions and move as I wanted. Then in one life where I was those three sisters. Hima as angel, she died at a young age as a human at age 5 at a assassination that was supposed to be her father instead. Her life as a angel didn't satisfy us so many rules and law burdening us so she turned into a fallen angel instead but not before being turned into a demon. Which we didn't mind. Then we split again, in this next life I was Hina her sister in her human life. Her love for her own younger brother who was supposed to inherit the throne ended up with her own death betrayed." (Lin)
"Why are you saying this now." (Rem)
Rem was shocked to see the glowing light in front of her brighten up as if it smiled warmly. The glowing orb seemed to glow as if she knew what Rem was asking her.
"In my next life (split) since it was short lived as Hina. Only 16 years of her life before she died in her prime. Setsuna was my next life. But she was a angel by then. From her memories of her life before it seemed she loved her sisters dearly. To the point that Hina dying made her depressed to the point of starting a war with her best friend's kingdom. But not before awakening her ancestral heritage the destruction Phoenix which is hunted down by the dimensions for fear of their own extinction like generation 0 that the Phoenix erased from history. And her other lineage of the life dragon. Destruction Phoenix are always royals, isn't that cruel to the girl was what I thought." (Lin)
Rather she didn't say anything to Ling, rather even she knew Lin's real name she didn't use because she said one thing my family was broken since I was a child. I tried when I was in middle school but even that didn't work, my mother didn't want to act like a mother she only saw things at face value. Instead she clenched her hands as she stared at Lin.
"I did develop Setsuna's personality to be similar to me but that's only in your worlds the Realms. She'll change to adapt to her surroundings though. But I didn't know one thing until I did kill myself Rem. She and my memories are linked. Rather she had all my memories until the end. Meaning she too is a chunk of my soul. I don't know how or why, it might be why I split so many times in those dreams as people. Maybe I left my soul and chunks of it in your world. Really I don't know but splitting does hurt like millions of things tearing you apart from the inside out. When I died 11 years ago on Earth I felt and saw her connection. She cried for me here in the world you created. You created this world similar to Earth without knowing about Earth then. Thank you until the end." (Lin)
Rem tried to stretch out her hand to the shining soul but she was standing back in her kitchen. Tears flowed down as she stared outside the window.
"No rather you look nothing like a devil that was a former angel. With how you look I thought you were a ice immortal." (Isabella)
Setsuna looked at her stunned, she felt a sharp pain in her head. Making her lean on the wall after kicking the can. She and Ling were connected before, meaning the archive was also connected to her. The difference between Lin and ordinary archives that was Lin wasn't a condemned criminal by others eyes. Rather she became a living record that recorded past, present and future events, people and items. Races, lives, relics and history were all written into the archive and at her disposal inside her mind. Even Setsuna was surprised when she could access all this on Lin's death.
She was reborn on a planet similar to Earth but as a immortal. Tears had flowed through her leaving her confused but not before inheriting Lin's memories. It made her realize that Lin and she was together until the end of her life before Lin split again but Lin never wanted to split since she felt the pain in her mind in real life from those splits.
Instead she glared at Leo for waking her from her slumber. She knew in fact that to Ling those dreams were centuries and eras past in their worlds. Which it's just instance or months that passed by in real life.
"I was still in a bad mood from losing a friend. I've been in deep slumber yet fools seem to have no rules or laws." (Setsuna) (trans: I slept in depression for 11 years which idiot woke me up from my mourning.)
What the 4 people that Lin mentioned didn't realize that she left more than the archives to them to use. Hina's reincarnation was Yuki that was why Rem couldn't find her. Yuki felt a pain in her chest again as she felt memories rush to her making even her surprised.
"No this....these are not me... but I was Hina.. how can this be. She died." (Yuki)
They were by the door when Ariel saw Yuki staggered and her eyes went back to the pressure given by Setsuna.
"Sorry I have to go. I need to met someone." (Yuki)
Ariel was surprised to see the ice demon sprout angel wings from her back and flew off in the direction of Setsuna. She seemed confused.
'Didn't she say she was a ice demon how'd she turn to angel now.' (Ariel)
The gift Ling left the 4 were simple, she had been every race ever known and had their powers and knowledge yet couldn't use them cause she was a human. Yet she gave this gift to the four. Blade Azual's older half sister Ling Yue, Hima, Hina, and Setsuna.
Yuki landed when she saw energy coming from the alley way next to the harbor. She stared confused at Setsuna with mixed emotions. Those memories had given her back her emotions. She also knew that Setsuna killing Hina was a accident.
"Setsuna." (Yuki)
All those memories and knowledge had come in huge chunk all together but she ignored the excessive informational overload. She was thinking along the line I'll deal with it now. I want to talk to Setsuna.
Even she flinched when she remembered one detail as Hina she wasn't proud of it was being used by the god as a baby factory. She remembered from Lin's memories this enraged both Setsuna who was talking to Hima about how she hated the angels and the god using her sister. And Hima commenting sister you'd make the perfect demon if you weren't a angel as a joke. Yuki knew this was one of Lin's memories of her as Setsuna. She let out a sigh as she looked at Setsuna.
Leo was shocked and stunned to see Yuki ignore him instead of reprimanding him or retorting to him. Setsuna raised a eyebrow at her when she felt a familiar feeling in her heart trying to tell her something.
