Noelle

The Infinity Clockworks ~Strike! Faster Than The Sun's Light~

Arc 1: Master and Apprentice

「With this Ghost in my hands, I could have every mana that ever existed in this world!」I saw a man wearing a trench coat and behind him was a gigantic bird cage. Inside the bird cage was a woman with a long translucent silver hair with golden colored eyes. Her eyes looked like she wasn't focusing on anything, just looking straight up at the dark gray sky. 

「Shut up」Kaname-san was a couple of feet across the man in a trench coat. The glowing cube was still hovering above Kaname-san's palm. 

「You can't do anything now, Undertaker! I hold every living beings' life in my hand no-」The man in a trench coat raised up his hands to the sky. On the other hand, the glowing cube on top of Kaname-san's hand turned into a katana and Kaname-san decapitated the man without hesitation. I saw the man's head roll down on the ground and his blood sprayed like a fountain. 

「I should have done this before」Kaname-san picked up the man's head and body then threw it away at the man-made river. I decided to look at where the body was going but what I saw was something that will be in my memories forever. 

I was wondering where was the horrible stench coming from, now that I look at the man-made river I knew where that smell was coming from. Corpses.... mountain of rotting corpses were piled in the man-made river. I was scared, it was my first time seeing something at this scale. 

「Noelle, let's go home」Kaname-san forced open the giant bird cage and pulled out Noelle. Kaname-san started to walk away with Noelle on his back. Out of reflex, I tried to follow Kaname-san but...

「Wait....」I heard someone calling out to me?

「Child of Time」A few feet away from me, there was Noelle sitting on the ground. Her white one piece doesn't get wet from the rain which immediately caught my attention but I never bothered to ask her. 

「Would you do a favor for me」She doesn't show any expression and her voice felt cold. 

「What can I do for you?」I asked her

「Hand this to Akashina」She clasped her hands together like she was praying. When she open her hands, a piano black bracelet appeared. 

「A bracelet? Wait.... is this one of the Identity Bracelet Kaname-san was talking about?」

「.....」She quietly nodded her head up and down as he handed me the bracelet.

「A never ending despair, an impossible fantasy, Dream and reality....」

「????」She started to say something that doesn't make sense to me. 

「Akashina's image is similar to a sea urchin」Again with something that doesn't relate to the topic. 

「I have slept with Akashina countless of times...」Again

「Akashina still have a severe eight grade syndrome」Again. Why is she telling random facts about her and Kaname-san

「Akashina is a really good singer....」

「Akashina's weakness are Mikado Ayato, Hoshina Rinne and Me.... also Sakura Mochi....」She doesn't seem to be stopping. 

「Sei....ne...Seine-ko! Wake up!」I feel my body was being shaken by someone. 

「Please, please, please wake up! They will get mad at me if you don't wake up」

「Shoukaku-san?」When I opened my eyes, I saw Shoukaku-san's ocean blue eyes really close to my face. 

「Finally! I was worried!」She started to shake me again. 

「Anyway, you have to go home now」Shoukaku-san moved away from me. 

「Wait, I need to finish this book first」I begged to Shoukaku-san. 

「Here, you can take a copy」She took the book away from me and an identical copy of the book suddenly appeared. However, in front of the book there was a big stamp saying "COPY". 

「Thank you」

「Okay, now close your eyes and imagine you're in your room」I followed Shoukaku-san's instructions and I immediately fell asleep. 

When I woke up, I was in my room and the book was on top of my desk. When I stood up, the bracelet Noelle handed me fell down. Suddenly, the a portion of the bracelet lit up. 

「One H.A.R. Message, Immediately opening the message」A robotic voice was let out from the bracelet. 

To be continued.
