Chapter 39:

From the Brink ... Finale

Testament of the Blood Moon


Akinari gave the girl a serious and pissed off look
Setsuna wasn't afraid though
She would do whatever it takes to help me..
Even sacrificing herself at this point
Akinari sensed her determination and that she wouldn't back down..


"Sorry girl.. no can do"

"What why not!?"
"Isn't there someone in the organization who can turn people into Hexer's!?"
"Just let me meet them and everything will be fine!"
"I can handle it trust me!"

Akinari raised his voice over hers
"That's not the issue here!"
"We don't have anyone like that inside Bloodline.."
"Anti-Hex has some, and so does B.L.O.O.D. but we don't.."
"You can ask them, but they might kill you.."

Setsuna replied back
"Then let me meet them!"
"Show me where they're at and I will become one!"

Just then Akinari summoned forth his Blade, he named it Muramasa
And pointed it at Setsuna's face, only inches from touching her face
But Setsuna's gaze never moved, she stayed still and kept her look of determination
The fire in her eye impressed even Akinari..
Akinari knew he couldn't say no to this girl even if he wanted to..

He then turned around and shrugged his shoulders

"Not everyone is cut out for the Burden of the Hex.."
"Even if they have a little resolve and determination.."
"You really want to help our cause, then you can.."
"You can help us by helping this one grow and become the Hexer that X desires him to be.."

Akinari points Muramasa at me
"He's going to be the best damn Hexer we've ever seen.."
"He's going to watch a lot of people die.."
"He may even enjoy the sight of Death.."
"He may even cheat death at times.."
"His mind may get fractured and broken.."
"Seeing only pain and struggles.."
"But that's why you're here.."
"Your job is to make sure he gets through everything.."
"This task I give to you and you only!"
"Are you ready for it girl?"

Setsuna gives a serious nod to Akinari
"Whatever it takes!"
"Give me the order!

Akinari lowers Muramasa and recedes it back into his flesh
"You task is simple.."
"You must push this one to the Brink!"
