Chapter 4 - Ch 004 A Dream of the Future

Abraham, now known as the Gennuva is with a battle against the Devil King Fezolar. It was a two man team of only him and Lelliana. But upon the full pressure of his demonic presence, Lelliana cannot maneuver well, she is lacking, she is lacking her will. Somehow, their first battle in the past as children made her wary of her actions, made her hesitate and doubt herself. This in effect made her luggish and conquered by the spirit of the Devil King. She was not able to defeat him, she was rather, conquered by him. In this sense, Abraham, in a panic, performed a spell to travel back through time to correct this little mistake of the past. He wakes up at noon into the deepest sleep he can ever have. Late for training, late for a Sunday break recipe.

 

"God, what was that dream, I was so awesome, but Lelliana was not on par with how she was when she trains. I have to do this right, I have to get stronger to protect her." - said Abraham recalling that dream.

 

"Lelliana! Lelliana! Hey, I had the strangest of dreams, but I won't tell you what it is." said Abraham. "So what is it?" and saying again, "what is it Abraham? Tell me!". Lelliana as she runs catching up to a running Abraham.

 

Master Rokuto, the master handler of both Lelliana and Abraham came forward with a wonderful news. He is happy and smiling at them both. Saying, "Next week, you need to prepare, there will be a match and that match will determine who wins and gets the more resources for training and battle training, so prepare well for that.".

 

Abraham, in some sort of a Dejavu, had had this happen to him from the past. "It was a long but too long time ago", he says. "It feels as is, a very long long time ago." he later added. Then concluded that: "I need to become strong to defeat that monster and save Lelliana.".

 

Then, in the next week, it has arrived. The competition that they were waiting for, not knowing why but he can already calculate and perform odd spells and concuctions of spells in the battlefield. The boeing of the crowd to not allow both to be spirited in battle and the observing judges to not score to high on both. He prepared the spells and latter that time, is the start of the battle.

 

"Oh right folks, we need to see who is better, the sword princess or the wandering wizard." said the announcer. Then the other fellow had the mic on and said: "let the battle begin!".

 

On that moment that he said those words, there was a loud so strong, an explosion in the rear too strong. Then a flashing of light that was too huge for the arena to contain. That they expected an enemy attack.

 

Everyone panic except Master Rokuto, who was observant at that time. But by the time they were panicking, Lelliana, was put to sleep quite so soundly easily.

 

He picked up Lelliana, then said to Abraham, "come, I wish to talk to you." in this manner, he calmly said, "what was that overwhelming strength that you displayed.". "Let me look at the seal in your hand.". "Yes, not only have you travelled to the future, but you looped through time.". "Come, I will tell you something, next time, let Lelliana win fair and square and this will not happen again.". Abraham having it as insightful as he is, said to Master Rokuto, "Yes master, I will diligently follow it and obey it.".

 

Then it was the same dream, but it was a nightmare, they both were having the same dream this time. Both truly unprepared, and both lacking resources to defeat the Devil King Fezolar. They were killed in battle that time.

 

Then "Huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhh!" what was that dream again. This time we both died. I need to tell Master Rokuto. But before heading there, he bumps off his head to a dashing Lelliana. "Aww, aww, aww, aww, aww…". Said Abraham. "What was that Lelliana, you were rushing to meet me, it was so long ago but I actually like it." he continued.

 

"I need to tell you something, I dreamed of us being old and died the same time.". "You too Lelliana?!" said Abraham. "Yes, me too, You died then I died, then we all died." - said Lelliana.

 

"Remember Lelliana…" while crouching his hands and twisting it in Lelliana's shoulders, quite fearfully and a straight but serious face. "When the Master Rokuto says that we need to fight, there is a secret scoring method used, you need to win, that is what he said, and I need to lose. That is all… bye." said Abraham.

 

"Master Rokuto, you looked displeased today." said Abraham. "Yes, I am, I was supposed to be happy to announce to Lelliana that next week, you will have a fight with her. But she ended up crying rather than excited so I cancelled it all together." and later continued at the door with a farewell at his back "bye… I am too shameful for this, I displeased the Patriach, so your new teacher will be Lizzana.". Then he said farewell and never met with them again.

 

Then the dream again happened, this time, something changed. He was booking an accounting firm's office's patents for a side project in a business suit. When suddenly, a 300 year old Lelliana was looking for him with a baby being held be her. Then he said hi, Then a lady approached them that looked like someone very familiar to them appear, "Oh Madam Lizzana, I am happy that you are here. Abraham is there with the accounting firm's office patents for the side project." said Lelliana. "Oh Madam Lizzana, thank you for coming, we have received reports that a Devil King have risen to this time, a very powerful one too, I've dispatched all my resources and heroes strategically for the battle, all armies are now on the battlefield, may you give the order and command Madam President." said Abraham, and she said, "yes, I will do so.".

 

"Hi Lelliana, be safe at the shelter, together with our family." said Abraham. Then, Lelliana, quite teary said, "be careful too husband.". Then he went to the battlefield to try out the Devil King Felozar alone. Then by this time, he woke up clenching his hand to his chest near the heart and was panicking, was scared of the nightmare like it ended his life in a brutal way. By this time, Lelliana had no memories but they are back in the time zone again. Now he is thinking like an adult, now, he is planning even more. Now, he knows what its like to die in a battlefield. To really fight a warlord, and to kill people. He has had accessed of his memories. Now, he will fight for real, and still let Lelliana win. Saying "for that and our future Lelliana my love.".

 

"It is now time for combat, and soon we will know who amongst the stars present tonight will continue in the next battle.". For this setup, Abraham convince Master Rokuto to head and see which of the children under training to become heroes are fit for service in the future. Thus, the set up. Lelliana actually like it. In this way, he assisted Lelliana silently and covertly, to make her have confidence to make her win that battle without hesitation. In the final challenge, they both fought alone with fairness and common ground.

 

To give her back that confidence she lost, and knowing how scary and real loops are. Abraham tries to convince her that she is strong, by making it appear this time that she will defeat an overwhelming enemy fairly and squarely.

 

The first strike was hers, and Abraham, feeling tense, made a mistake, he jumped backwards, making Lelliana have the edge in battle. Then the first strike was cast by both, one magic and the other by the sword. But this time, the defenses were low, causing damage to Abraham, then at that time. He made his thumb go in the upward direction (a thumbs up), and made Lelliana happy as she was being rooted up. Then, the next thing he said was that "I am going to be serious now.", a huge spell was channeled to be cast. "Megdan mesu mana, Medan hasu dalanan ra!". It was so powerful that the observers had to guard the audiences. But with recovery status effects active, Lelliana, won this battle, exhausted from that spell, Abraham collapsed to the ground and was knocked out. That was the ending of the battle, and no one can determine who won, but everybody cheered for Lelliana. Which made her so determined to train and happy too.

 

Then, the dream happened again, but this time, Abraham had the support of Master Rokuto. Abraham was known as the Gennuva. He was weak but he was so experiencely strong, and Lelliana, was the one leading the front, dashing through the snow like there was no tommorrow. Cutting off and defeating the minions of the Devil King, the Devil King, being wounded had fleded away from the battlefield. Then the dream ended and then he was back at that time again, when he was conscious, Lelliana was smiling back at him with a trophy besides her. She was very happy about the fight and said that she will train hard to protect him next time that they are in danger. Abraham, knowing that she is having the same dream as him said to himself: "So, I am not the only one.".
