The Book Of Darkness

The Heaven's Library: The Heaven Flower: Chapter 1: The Book Of Darkness

I was planning on inviting Haru and Kuroha to go buy some ingredients because Rin-san was planning to make us dinner today in the girl's dorm (Kuroha's Room) but I can't find both of them. I asked many people if they seen Haru or Kuroha but they all said that they haven't seen them today. I went around the Trinity looking for them the whole morning and it's finally noon so I decided to do the shopping by myself.

When I got back to Rin-san's apartment, Lillian and the other girls where there. I was planning on helping Rin-san to clean first but it seemed like I wasn't needed so I went out to organize the maze garden behind The Girl's Dormitory. I head towards the Girl's Dormitory, In order to reach the Girl's Dormitory I need to go through the Shopping Center. When I

entered the Shopping Center, I suddenly felt something really dark, it was heavy and it was overflowing with power. I followed that feeling and it lead me to the alley between the two shops that near the forest. Since the shop was just in front of the forest, I entered the forest with my guard up. While I was following the dark feeling inside the forest, I started to feel like I am familiar with that feeling but I can't remember what it is. I kept following the familiar feeling and I ended up behind the maze garden. When I reached the Maze Garden, the dark feeling had finally disappeared and when I decided to take the shortcut to the Girl's Dormitory, I stepped on a book.

The book was completely black from cover to the back. Even the pages were completely black. When I opened it to see the black pages, I realized that it was a pop book but everything was black: The Characters and the landscape were completely dark. Right after I finished flipping rapidly through the pages, suddenly arms made out of complete darkness with a bit of dark purple grabbed my head and pulled me in the book. The moment I my face hit the pages, I heard a girl screaming in pain that ended the moment my whole body got pulled in the book.

The place I got pulled in to was completely dark, I couldn't see anything even though I was sure that my eyes were open. Suddenly, I felt sadness in my heart and something heavy on my right head. The next thing I felt was a wet and warm feeling on both of my hands and my face. I reached in to my face to see what it was and that was the moment my visions finally worked. It was blood, it was all over me, it was still warm.

「Ma.....shi....ro.....」A girl's voice filled with fear called out to me. I desperately search from where the voice is and it was behind me. I saw a small girl with no legs crying. Blood was flowing out of her legs and it was blending with her jet black hair. The girls has 2 white wings that was tainted with blood on the left and 3 black wings on the right. Just by seeing her wings, I immediately know who the girl was....it was Bell. The darkness around me finally disappeared showing me a very familliar place, the ruined place, the first place where we first met.

「Mashiro......please.....」Bell couldn't speak right because of her fear. Her eyes was filled fear, when I try to get close to her, she backs away using her arms. The blood coming out of her legs got spread as she moves back. When I tried to reach to her with my right hand and the heavy feeling I felt when I first came here, it was Reron.

Reron's color was much more darker. The usual glossy red and black blade is now dark red and jet black. While I stare at Reron, the color got darker and darker to the point almost all light get eaten by the color black. Complete Darkness, it swallowed the ruby red color of the philosopher stone turned in to pitch black. Reron had died. I remember this scene and there is only one way to end this scene. I went closer to Bell and she stopped moving back and I could still see the fear in her eyes. I raised Reron who was just a weapon and all I need to do is kill Bell and that would end everything. When I decided to pull down Reron but someone stopped my hand mid air.

「Are you sure you want to continue?」I turned to my right, the person I saw was me,

「The last time you killed Bell, you paid a vast amount of consequences」He started talking to me but I never replied to him and I was just focused on freeing my arm away from his grip but I couldn't.

「This story is for you to have your second chance」He said something I wanted to hear the whole time, I wanted to have a second chance. Kuroha could have given me a second chance but Kuroha's power doesn't affect me, not his strength, but his power to control time. Everytime he movesback time, I always got left behind because his power didn't work to me for some reason. I couldn't get my second chance because of that and now I could have what I wanted all along.

「It looks like you made your choice, now close your eyes and go back to that world」He smiled at me before I closed my eyes.

When I opened my eyes, the first I saw was the giant floating Island, Rikuria. I was once again riding the gondola to that island.

「This is my second and last chance. I will change everything」I mumbled quietly
