Chapter 17:

A Hidden Truth

White Knight: King of Eos


2 weeks Later

As the trio journeyed for miles trying to find the blade of the mystic they encountered a town called Lestallum. Chozen flies up into the clouds knowing that he has to be careful so there’s no panic. “Welcome to Lestallum. Do you want a brochure of our landmarks?” The desk lady asked. “No thanks, just a room for 2.” Soichiro said. As Soichiro and Suki go up to their room, Soichiro goes to open a window but Suki stops him. “Hold on a second, Soichiro.” Suki said. “Ok? Are you alright?” Soichiro asked. “I wanted to say thank you for saving me from the Nighteyes.” Suki shyly said. “Anytime Suki.” Soichiro said. “There’s also another thing.” Suki said. “What is it?” Soichiro asked. Suki turns as red as a tomato and doesn't say a word. “Look if there’s something you want to say, say it when you’re ready to say it.” Soichiro said. “I- ok.” Suki stutered. Soichiro opens that window and chozen flies into the room.

“It’s about time. Now let’s talk about the blade of the mystic.” Chozen said. “Alright, I have a question. How powerful is this blade?” Soichiro asked. “The blade of the mystic will become stronger in battle within each swing. And when you attempt to warp you won’t have to throw the blade you just have to think of where you want to warp and phantom blades will come out of the blade and go to where you were thinking and will warp you to that spot but the place you warp to must be within your eyesight.” Chozen explained. “That doesn’t sound too bad but what are phantom blades?” Soichiro asked. “Phantom blades are like the spirit version of blades but it will cause damage to whatever it hits.” Chozen explained “This blade sounds like the most powerful of all the regalia.” Soichiro said. “It may sound like it is the most powerful regalia but trust me it’s not.” Chozen said. “Then what is the most powerful regalia?” Soichiro asked. “You can’t know but there will be a time where you find out about the regalia and its true power.” Chozen answered. “Alright then that’s enough for the night. Let’s all get a good night's sleep and get the blade of the mystic.” Chozen said.

Middle of the Night

“What the- where am I?” Soichiro wonders. “White Knight.” A mysterious voice said. “Wha- who's there?” Soichiro asked. A yellow light flashes and Suki comes out of that light. “What the hell, Suki?” Soichiro said. “You may recognize me as your archaeologist friend Suki Kakehashi, but I’m not who you think I am.” Suki said. “Then who are you?” Soichiro asked. “I am the oracle.” Suki said. “There’s no way, the oracle died in the invasion.” Soichiro said. “Yes an oracle died in the Shinigami war but that oracle was my mother. After she died I was chosen as the new oracle.” Suki explained. “If you're hiding the fact that you’re the oracle then why tell me now?” Soichiro asked. “I kept being the oracle a secret because it was prophesied that I would be alongside the White Knight on his journey and if he's deemed worthy I would give him the trident of the oracle which will help call upon the gods for their assistance and use their powers.” Suki explained. “There was something else that your sensei failed to inform you about your ancestors regalia.” Suki said. “What did he forget to tell me?” Soichiro asked. “The regalia you obtain from the Kings and Queens of Eos will give you their memories from the minute they were born to the moment they die.” Suki explained. “So you wanted to tell me this because the Yaksha King has some memories that can cause trouble?” Soichiro asked. “Yes.” Suki answered. “Our time has come to an end, White Knight. Keep fighting and fulfill the prophecy." Suki said as she fades away into the bright yellow light.

“Wait!” Soichiro shouts as he wakes up. “What happened? Are you ok? “ Suki and Chozen asked. “Why are you guys up?” Soichiro asked. “We heard you talking in your sleep but we couldn’t understand what you were saying.” Chozen said. “Oh.” Soichiro said. “Are you ok Soichiro?” Suki asked. “Yea I’m fine just, can you stay in the same bed as me?” Soichiro asked. “Sure.” Suki answered while blushing. Soichiro and Suki lay down in the same bed and they fell asleep.
