Chapter 53: Vol2 Ch19 – The Sword Saint (4)

“Elysia, hold on to that feeling!” Luma shouted. “Whatever it is, remember it! Don’t let it go!”

Kye examined her hands. Her body was glowing a bright white with a silver tinge. “What?”

“You can probably open a rift between realms with that power. You would have used your Radiance to create Elysium, so you can probably use it to cross the boundary with it.”

“My... Radiance?” She studied her white-silver coated hand. “What is that?” Luma’s eye widened.

“Welcome to the Void.”

Liliana raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you getting a little carried away?”

Aliana shook her head. “Not at all. This space is dense in void-attributed space mana.” She twirled and danced around, creating various objects out of the abundant mana.

“Wow...” Michelle mumbled as they watched Aliana create a courtyard in front of the mansion.

“No kidding...” Doran said.

“I’m impressed, Aliana,” Alethea said.

“Auntie is very talented,” came a young voice from behind them. Kaede and Joey were standing behind them.

“Hey, what are you kids doing here?”

Joey pointed at the out-of-place door that Aliana had brought them through.

“Rei couldn’t come through the door,” Kaede said. “But we could.”

“Huh? She couldn’t?” Alethea turned to Aliana.

She shrugged. “I don’t know.”

“Huh. So then... what’s the common denominator between all of us...” Alethea glanced around.

“Radiance,” Joey said.

“Hmm... yeah, you two have Radiance, and so do Ally and Lily... wait, Doran and Michelle... don’t?”

“Uh...” Doran looked confused.

“Well...”

Alethea released her soul aether and engulfed Doran and Michelle with it. Her expression changed from curious to surprised to inquisitive. “You DO!” She stared them down for a moment, waiting for them to explain themselves. Doran backed up, unsure what to say, and Michelle sighed. Alethea narrowed her eyes. “How?”

“Well... I guess we would have been discovered, eventually.” She sighed and unleashed her own soul aether, dark blue in color. “Recognize it?”

“I do. Of the ninety-nine, only two had dark-blue souls.” Alethea let out a sigh of relief. “I dunno why you two are here in Elysium, but this makes sense why we clicked so easily. Wait, hold on, you could be mortals granted Radiance by them or Lady Eve...”

“No, you got it right the first time.”

“Are you here on the same mission as us?”

Michelle shook her head. “No. We’re not here on a mission. We’re just here. Lady Eve suggested it as a vacation from the rough worlds we’ve been in lately.”

“That sly... she sent you here because Elysia and I are here, and now Azalea and Kaede are also here.”

“I have a question now, though,” Michelle said. “If the requirement to enter this... Void is to possess Radiance, why can Rei not enter? She’s your and Kye’s daughter from a previous life, right? Suzuka. Shouldn’t she have Radiance?”

“She doesn’t. I can’t grant Radiance, and Elysia’s memories are still suppressed. She doesn’t even know about Radiance.”

“Hmm...” Michelle sighed and looked at Doran.

“I’ll explain it to her.” He glanced over at Aliana. “First thing’s first though, we have to get to her. Aliana?”

“I can feel Princess from here. I can’t feel anyone else, but I think that’s because this is a construct of her creation.” She held up her hand and began gathering mana.

“That makes sense. This space is part of Elysium, which was created by her Radiance. The mana here must be hers as well... but it’s so much. This place is unbelievably vast, yet the mana is so densely packed. It’s mind boggling.”

Aliana finished gathering mana and created a door. She reached for the knob and said, “Here.”

She turned the knob and found Kye meeting with three others. All four turned and gasped.

Kye stood up and ran to the door. “Aliana?”

“Princess!” Aliana jumped into Kye’s arms. “I missed you, Princess!”

“Princess?” said Luma, Aisha, and Carys all at once.

“Shouldn’t it be ‘Your Highness’?” Luma asked.

Kye shook her head after peeling Aliana off of her. “No, the typical court titles are not used in the Atlantis Empire. It’s just Lord and Lady. My attendants call me ‘Princess’ as a nickname from our childhood.”

“I see...”

Aliana moved out of the way and the others filed in after her.

“Everyone’s here? But how?” Kye asked, taken aback when Joey and Kaede stepped through. “What are you two-?”

Joey jumped into her arms, happy to see her mother again. Even though Joey was Kye’s soul-bound partner since time immemorial, the young blonde still saw Kye as her mother. “Mom...” Kaede smiled and stayed next to Alethea. Joey refused to let go of Kye, forcing her to return to her seat with the girl in her lap.

“So...”

“Uh... so, Aliana discovered the Void, and she’s apparently a god in there with her void powers.” Michelle shrugged. “She can condense the mana in there into real objects. She made a whole mansion.”

“The Void?”

“Yeah!” Alethea said. “And guess who these two jokesters turned out to be?” She pointed at the redheads. “We tried to figure out why Rei couldn’t follow Joey and Kaede into the Void, and Joey said ‘Radiance’. One thing led to another and...”

“You are all throwing around ‘Radiance’ like it’s candy...” Luma said. “Who are you?”

“Who are you?” Alethea shot back.

Kye faked a cough to get their attention. She first pointed at Alethea. “Maya the Second.” She then pointed at Luma. “Luma the Ninety-Ninth.”

“Holy shit!” Luma jumped up. “Maya!”

“Luma! How have you been?”

“Good! This world is fantastic!”

“Oh, get this... those two are-”

Michelle cleared her throat loudly to cut her off. “I am Adara the Fourth. The lug here is Adel the Third.” Michelle narrowed her eyes at Kye. “I thought her memories were still suppressed. She’s using her Radiance right now.”

“About that...” Luma said. “Her suppressed memories were just mentioned, and she started glowing out of nowhere.”

Kye nodded, but averted her eyes. “Michelle, Doran, I’m sorry. I don’t remember Adara and Adel.”

“That’s okay,” Michelle said. “You did a real number on your head before you left the Nexus a zillion years ago. To be honest, I’m surprised you remember Maya.”

“I... only her name and number. I remember nothing of my history before transmigrating. And I only remembered her name and number when we met as Shiori and Sayaka. And I remembered Luma when we met as Catherine and Heidi.”

“So, maybe you’ll remember us soon?” Doran asked.

Kye balled her hands into fists on her lap. “That’s not good enough.” She held her head, trying to recall anything from before. “I... I want to remember. Why did I seal my memories in the first place? Did I tell any of you why?”

Luma shook her head. “You didn’t tell me anything other than ‘I need to do this.’”

Kye glanced between Alethea, Michelle, and Doran, each shaking their heads in succession.

Joey looked up to her. “Do you want to remember?”

“Joey, sweetie...” Kye hugged the young girl, and stroked her hair gently. “I want to remember. Did I tell you anything?”

She nodded. “You didn’t have to. We were soul-bound since the beginning. I know everything about you.”

“Do you know how I can remember?”

She nodded. “I can restore your memories, and that’s the only way.” She stopped short, not wanting to give Kye bad news. “But...”

“It’s okay, sweetie. Whatever it takes, please tell me.”

Joey looked into Kye’s eyes. “I can restore your memories, but before that... this body must mature. I cannot help you as I am now.” She summoned her own weapon form. It was not a full-sized katana, but a tanto.

Kye smiled. “That’s okay. Another decade or two isn’t long to wait.” She looked back between Aisha and Carys. “So... uh. These are friends. Would everyone like to introduce themselves?”

Carys stood up to go first. “Greetings, everyone. I am Carys Laevateinn, Archbishop of the Church of Elysium.”

“Church of Elysium?” Michelle said, looking at Kye.

“We can have that explanation soon.”

Michelle nodded and went next. “I am Michelle Maya of Drachenheim, ”

“I am Doran Maya of Drachenheim.”

“I am Liliana Venturi of Nippon Sekai, attendant of Lady Kye Akari.”

“I am Aliana Venturi of Nippon Sekai, attendant of Lady Kye Akari.”

“I am Alethea Atlantis of Terra.”

“I am Kaede Akari of Nippon Sekai.”

“I am Joey Maya of...” She paused and looked to Kye.

“Perhaps I should give you a Japanese name so you would be more comfortable naming your home planet.”

“Hell, why don’t we all think up names for each other’s planets?” Michelle suggested.

“Heh, yeah. Anyway.” She turned back to Carys to explain. “Alethea, Doran, Michelle, and I are in a polygamous marriage. We and our children are royals of Terra, Drachenheim, and Nippon Sekai.”

“I see. Polygamy is not allowed under the Church of Elysium, but if our patron deity is in a polygamous marriage, then perhaps that needs to be addressed.”

“There are a great many things with the church that I would like to address.” Kye shrugged and turned to Aisha.

She smiled and gave her introduction. “I am Aisha Akaishi of the Akaishi Clan. I’m pleased to make your acquaintance.”

Michelle walked up to Aisha and began examining her. “Something’s different about you. Your mana isn’t quite... hmm...”

“Uh... well...” She turned to Kye for help, who only nodded and smiled. “I am a vampire.” She stood up and apologized. “I am very sorry! It’s because of me that Lady Kye has appeared here! She saved my life the other night.”

Alethea giggled. “That’s our Shi-chan for you!”

Kye sighed. “Anyway, now that everyone is introduced... wait, Luma!”

“I was wondering if I was gonna get a chance to.” She stood up and curtsied. “I am Luma Caliburn the Sword Saint.”

“Sword Saint?” Doran’s interest was piqued. “What’s this about?”

“It’s the highest military rank in the Church of Elysium,” Carys explained. “Lady Luma has been with us for a long time and has held her position since her early days with us.”

Kye raised an eyebrow. “How long?”

“This mortal body is just over one hundred and seventy thousand years old. When the previous Sword Saint died, I was in my twenties. I was the strongest candidate and have held the position ever since.”

“Oh, wow...” Aisha said. “I knew you were old, but that’s incredible!”

Luma smiled apologetically. “Well it’s only a small spec to my immortal lifespan. Any of my...” she glanced around, “colleagues could say the same.”

“Colleagues, you say,” Doran said with his thinking face. “Funny way to put it.”

Luma gestured at Kye. “Hey, I’m just trying to be considerate. She doesn’t remember, and I don’t want to stress her out!”

“Uh huh, you really think you’re gonna stress her out?” Michelle said with a smirk. “Our virtually invincible princess here ain’t that weak.”

Kye smiled as the group began carrying on. I wish I could remember now. She looked back down at her glowing hand. What is Radiance?
