Its been a month since I saw Frieren again, even though its only been a month....
*deep inhale*
,it somehow feels like its been way longer than that,
I smiled,
a rueful smile, 'ofcourse it feels that way...',
*Haaaaaa....ah*,
"I do love her huh.."
This time I smiled, but without any sadness, I was at peace.
' the adventures we had.. I wouldn't give them away for anything'..
I knew i was dying, and honestly?, I have lived my life for what it was worth.... at-least for what its worth as a human.
' I hope you find people you can call comrades again Frieren.'....
with that I closed my eyes , a smile on my face....
...
20 years later, outskirts of The Holy City of Strahl, Central Lands.
'where is Heiter supposed to be.....',
Freiren the mage, considered as one of the strongest mages to ever exist, was currently looking for a member from the hero's part, Heiter the priest,
she looked around the tree she was currently holding as her navigation, 'it must be somewhere around here right?', She looked around the huge tree.
"there does not seem to be anything here..."
helpfully though, a young girls voice called out to her, "hello strange elf Lady"-
......
-Turk Region, Outskirts of the village,
On the outskirts of the village situated in the Turk region, known for its farms, and snowy peaks, something magical was happening,
The winds were picking up around a figure who appeared to be laying on the flower bed, flowers twirled around their figure, making it hidden from naked eyes, even though there was no one currently there to witness the magic happening,
the winds slowed down gradually to a halt, in the area littered with flowers was a man laying with his eyes closed, his skin tanned, but exotic in the way that it had a slight golden sheen to it, his white hair did nothing but elevate his exotic look.
but what was most eye-catching was the smile on his face..... as if at peace with everything.
-The Holy City of Strahl,
Freiren POV-
I stared back at the purple haired child that could give me a clue as to where Heiter lived
"Do you know of any bewildered and drunk looking sad old man...?"
"huh?"
the purple child stared back
"...who is also a priest."
"ah father priest" she perked up cutely,
"Ah no, the man i am talking about couldn't have possibly reproduced-"
"He just took me in"
"ah thats sad.."
I looked again at this child, she seems to have a wand with her, A human mage.. and this young as-well,
well I seem to have at-least find a way to find him...
I looked at the young girl with a relaxed sigh,
......
-Turk Region, Outskirts of the village,
A pair of grey eyes blinked open, with gentleness,
"huh?",
I looked around me, I was laying in some kind of flower field with a lot of petals around me,
"Is this heaven...?", even after being a hero not being in heaven would be unusual after all.... just as I was about to think more on that topic my gaze turned to my hands, 'these are not my hands!!!',
Even if I was somehow made young again in heaven, I could easily identify my own body, my skin was never tanned, this was obviously not my body, I looked at my clothes,
I was dressed in some black body armor or suit? with a red coa-...is that a holy shroud!?
with a thick pant, which seemed to also be for battle,
'wait.',
my eyes took in my surroundings, small houses along the farms, which coupled with the scenery was familiar,
this was not heaven...
"how did I end up here.."
'wasn't I dead, after peace fully dying of old age...?',
"I need answers..", I stood up and caught a glimpse of a stray lock of my hair, which wasn't blue now, it was white, like Frieren's hair,
I blinked at that,
I also felt taller than i ever was..
I touched my ears,
"still a human eh.", I smiled,
................
I started treading towards the only village where i was, 'I really am in the Turk Region, though why.."
after an hours of walk, and fortunately this body seems strong, I was at the village entrance.. "wait is that..." my eyes widened, there it was, my statue
.....with a layer of dust and rust, 'does this mean I revived back after dying..',
~pagebreak~
~3 days later
A cloaked figure walked through the village, before it stopped before an inn, entering it and walking up the stairs, entering a room,
*sigh*
the man removed his cloak throwing it on a chair and taking a seat on the bed,
"what do i do now..",
Its been 3 days since I was alive again, in this new body. And apparently from what I've been able to know, its been 20 whole years since Himmel the hero, I have died... and I've got no clue as to how Frieren or any of my party mates are, at-least I'm sure Frieren should be alive, shes an elf after all,
I opened my fist and materialized short sword, a white short sword with intricate craftsmanship,
i did it naturally,
"and these abilities...."
I went into my mindscape, going through swords, shields, spears everything that was in my reality marble, "although I do not have his memories, I know everything about him, through his weapons",
A sad smile settled on my face which was not as soft as it used to be due to my new look , "a hero of justice... were alike",
my hair was now down instead of being swept backwards, because it looked more relaxing,
*sigh*
'I think I'll try travelling around a bit, and maybe... meet Frieren while I'm at it', I smiled remembering her aloof face.
.............
-with Frieren
freiren was currently sat at a table with fern on her side, Heiter sitting to her front,
"I see Heiter, so you want me to decipher this grimoire.", she nods,
"I can do that, and train Fern...?"
A young Fern blinks back at her,
