And yes, it was not until this part that TRX and her friends finally appear in Mathias' story.
Going back half an hour into the past, TRX and her friends had just come out of the pods.
"Yawn Is it time already?" Blocky said.
"Yawn Let me check." Pointy approached a strange screen that was turned off and turned it on. "1987, November 28th."
Everyone fell silent.
"I think we were supposed to wake up on October 24..." Roundy said.
"Is that right?"
"Yes..." Roundy confirmed.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" They all reacted in a mix of fear, worry, and anxiety at having missed the set date.
An amorphous creature passed nearby, with several wings and a multitude of eyes. It gave them a disapproving look.
"...Sorry," they all said together.
The creature then went to one of the capsules. It looked like it was already in use.
"Wait," Pointy said after the creature entered. "This is Zoron's fault. He was the one who programmed the capsules."
"That's right..." TRX replied. "But that doesn't matter now. Let's go!"
"Ok!" the others answered.
They arrived at the transport room.
"So... Which one do you choose?" TRX asked.
"All of these are going to get us to the Hero's location tomorrow morning at six o'clock," said Pointy. "But..."
"Hey, here's one that says it'll get us there in thirty minutes, but it's dangerous and we could die. Oops," Blocky said.
Everyone went quiet.
"I vote for using it," Blocky decided.
"Me too," said TRX.
"I... I guess so too," Roundy added.
"All right, let's go."
They went to the room for that transport.
"Hey, this is a rock," Blocky said, observing their choice. She thought, And this... Reminds me of 'that' rock...
Well, the rest you know. Back to the present:
"H-hey," Mat asked. "Are you guys...?"
"Aliens!?" Sam completed what Mathias was going to say.
"Huh?" Mat looked at her.
"Hehe," Sam smiled.
"Can we talk now?" Blocky interrupted.
"Ah... Sorry," Sam apologized.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
"It's okay, don't worry about it," Pointy replied. "And... to answer your question... Yes, we are."
"Oh, really?" Sam said, looking at the four of them, then turned to Mat. "Mat... This is unbelievable! I didn't think I'd ever see.... Wait."
Everyone looked at her, curious.
"How can we confirm that these are real aliens and not monsters?" Sam asked, referencing what Mathias had told her before.
"Wait, what?" Blocky exclaimed, offended. Mat stared blankly, unsure of what to say. "How dare you call us monsters?"
"That... That was horrible," Roundy added.
"..."
Pointy remained silent.
"It's okay," TRX said.
"...I don’t know if that counts, but it’s okay," Sam admitted. "I believe you... But... It doesn’t matter."
"It’s okay," said TRX. "Ah! Right."
She said something to the medieval leather bag and took out a golden medallion. It was that weird coin that the creature from long ago had given them, but now it looked like a medallion? I think. Nah, it was the same as always.
The medallion was something like this... Sorry for the ugly drawing.
"This medallion is for you," said TRX and handed it to Mat.
"Huh? Ah, thanks," said Mat.
"Hey, TRX, wasn't that a coin? Why do you call it a medallion?" said Blocky.
"Tsk, it's the same thing," answered TRX.
"Put it on," said Pointy to Mat, ignoring the rest.
"Okay, but... I think I heard something about a medallion and... I think I've seen it before too," Mat said, thoughtfully.
"Medallion, huh? That... The other Hero mentioned it to me. So this is it, but... I don't fully understand what's going on."
"Put it on now, we don't have all the time in the world," Blocky complained.
Besides, it's kind of late already... Blocky thought.
"H-hey, d-don't pressure him like that," Roundy said nervously.
"Uh, Mat..." said Sam, before he put on the medallion. "Don't you think we should go home now?"
"Yeah, you're right, but..." It wasn't too late.
"Put it on already," TRX said, worriedly urging him to try it on. Ah... What did I just say? I think it's understood, so I'm not going to correct myself.
"Ok, ok," Mat said as he put it on and...
.
..
...
"What's up?"
"Huh?"
He was in the middle of nowhere again. In the void. In front of him was, guess who, the other Hero.
"What's this I feel in you? Oh, wait, I think that sounded weird," said the spiky-haired young man.
"Did it really? I don't think so."
"Ah... Never mind. Well... I think I know why you're here," said the spiky-haired young man. "It's because of the Medallion, isn't it?"
"Yeah."
"Oh, so... I see, then I can tell you everything in detail," said the spiky-haired, black-haired boy with a serious tone.
"O-okay, but..."
"Don't worry, this will all happen in just a moment," replied the young man. "Now listen to me."
The young man proceeded to explain several things he didn't know, as well as reminding him of others. Summing up what he said was:
That he was also a Hero, and that the difference between them was the era in which they were going to act. He acted in 1843 and Mat, 1987. They both shared the same mark, but they functioned somewhat differently, due to the difference in base powers that came from their soul and that a person's powers manifested if their soul's power was compatible with their body. What?
He also said that... The mark was like a double-edged sword. While it enhanced the strength, or power, of its bearer, it also attracted creatures.... Creatures of the night. He gave no further information about its origin, but said that the one who bore the mark, apart from being the Hero, was the one who attracted misfortune to those around him. His flame, at the beginning, was very weak, so it did not attract creatures or strange beings and only frightened very weak creatures. But... Now that his journey had begun, that flame would become stronger and attract more creatures, who would follow him like insects into the light. He also said that, being activated, it would attract even more creatures.
Well, in addition to that, he said that the mission he undertook was to collect six colored orbs found in temples around the world (the locations of which changed, as well as the shape of the temple and its difficulty, so to speak). These temples contained strange creatures that protected the orb from intruders and, in addition, each of them contained an ancestral weapon that... It was completely useless, due to the fact that everything was done with spiritual power or aura and that those things did not harm the aforementioned creatures.
He also said that the orbs were necessary to be able to summon the Great Serpent, which was necessary to be able to reach the Sacred Continent or Holy Land, as it was called. Each of these orbs represented one of the "cycles of Creation," in his words, and that they depended on the Tree of Life to exist, and vice versa. On top of that, he mentioned to him that the useless weapons those.... They were supposed to be fused together to create a weapon he called The Luminous Sword, and that it was to be placed in the core of the Tree of Life, to protect it. To protect it from being destroyed and to be able to continue to exist without the need for the orbs.
