615 An old friend
[Zoe's POV: ]
This butterfly… it was the sa familiar that belonged to mom. The sa one that had been with her for a long ti and though she she seed to have told him that it had died, the one before him that I could feel this strange longing connection with, was undoubtedly a creature connected to my mom.
And, it knew about as well. It was calling master even though we had just t and it even knew this was my new form, or more like it was but it was mistaking for mom.
It was strange how this creature that big brother knew for a fact had passed away was before right now… but, what it said was true as well.
We should finish the familiar bonding process before continuing with the further task. It will be helpful to have that unique connection big brother and sister Elle talks about…
"Alright then. Let us finish that."
[{ Very well. }]
This being was strange. But, in a way, it was the first creature to ever call master that sincerely. I don't like it most of the ti but this felt different. It was pleasant.
-Ooooooooooooooooong!
A unique light ca out of the butterfly and surrounded , and, the sa way, a red-orange light ca out of and surrounded the little one on my arm as well.
[{ Oh great being, my savior, my lord, my everything, my soul… do you accept this old friend, this lacking but, an eternal devotee yours, as your familiar, once again? }]
"I do, but… it looks like you are mistaking for my mom. I'm a different person than all the things you have said, or known perhaps.
[{ No. I know who you are and she knew it as well. Well… it is more appropriate to say that you are her greatest wish that she wanted to fulfill more than anything else.
My existence here is the proof that she was able to go back peacefully, and your existence, my dear master, is the proof that she achieved that wish of hers and found soone capable enough to entrust you to them. }]
…what?
"She knew sothing like what happened would happen already?"
[{ No. I do not know what happened to her or who the chosen one, her successor is. However, her singular greatest wish was to have you, her child into this sorrowful yet beautiful world.
All she had was hope, a thread of light that she had clung to forever, even during the ti she lived in her mausoleum, and continued living that eternally painful life of suffering all by herself.
She believed, with all her heart, for all the ti I had been with her and even after that, and… perhaps one day, her prayers were heard by Mother Nature and a miracle greeted her.
That miracle beca her light and she gave that light all she had, before breaking their heart, and leaving them behind with a request to be with you, my new master, and protect you just the way she would have.
She waited for that one miracle for I do not know how long. But, she found it. And you ca to this world. With that miracle by your side. }]
"…"

Mother…
"…"
Mother…
She just clung to that one imaginary 'hope' and endured all the pain by herself. She continued believing and having faith in her one last wish, thinking that soone would definitely co her way if it was ant to be. She must have searched and searched and searched relentlessly for the one who could grant her everything before she decided to take her last stop in that forest and make that tower where she rested until her last days.
She must have done many things just to get out of that miserable loop that repeated endlessly. The life, the death that was never the end. The sa reputation in the sa but changing world. Seeing people she had even the slightest bit of attachnt die before her.
She must have gone through many terrible things. Perhaps, I will have to go through them in the future as well. Perhaps. I don't know what will happen to once I die.
She didn't know either, not in that much detail. Even soone like her wasn't capable of knowing this ever-changing future.
She just had a hope and a wish that 'I' would be able to see this world that, though filled with many dark things, was in fact filled with many different colors and pretty things as well.
She wanted to see these pretty things, things like Big Brother, our Celes, little Anna, or this school.
'I have seen many pretty things during my ti until now. Many bad things as well, but, what I have seen in this little life until now, is more than enough to give faith in this world.'
I liked it here, and I'm grateful to her for everything she did, for everything she endured alone to bring here. And I'm thankful to Big Brother even more, for helping her with everything he did. For everything he had done and for everything he could have done if they had stayed with each other a little longer.
'She was selfish and stubborn, just like him. That's why, I could never hate either of them.'
They helped each other heal their wounds and fulfill their wishes, and though wounds were left on both ends, things ended positively, and I was able to be here, at this mont, in this great school with so many great people all around .
Thanks to all of that, I was able to et this old friend and partner of hers. And though I don't know how this butterfly was here yet, we will know soon.
We are going to be together from now on anyway until at least I die for the first ti. And perhaps even after that. We will see how it goes.
-Oooooooooong!
The red light from and the white light from this butterfly intertwined and beca one. And soon after, the simple-looking white butterfly returned back to its original form.
-Zhrrrrrrrrrr!
[{ Your mother was an amazing person. I have many things to tell you about her, and many things to tell the person who succeeded her. She had many things she must have wanted to tell you two, but, perhaps she might not have been able to.
We have many things to talk about now, master and we have ti to do so this ti.
I will be with you, master, forever until the day fate allows it. So, please… give a na and allow to be by your side as well. }]
The crimson fire around us intensified as the butterfly that had looked like any other white butterfly one could find in the garden, to sothing so astonishing that every single eye that had been on us until now, was left wide open and awestruck.
His wings beca larger than even Celes's, far larger than any other butterfly I had seen until now, and, they were on fire.
They were crystal-like as well, indicating her identity as a [Crystal butterfly], and, the butterfly body that was white until now, had beco as blue as my eyes. Pretty, and unbelievably attractive.
He was gorgeous, sothing one of a kind. I had never seen a being like him until now. And, he had been with mom as well, so, he was an old friend of ours.
'He is mine now though. So, there's one na that suited him the most according to .'
"Ray."
[{ The protector, the friend, and the light. I like it. You are different from her in this regard. }]
"I will call you Rayray though. It's cuter~."
[{ That… is acceptable as well. }]
The light around us had vanished after I gave him his na and a large familiar mark resembling his outline covered half of my arm.
It was bigger than the one big brother or sister Elle or perhaps even dad had. It just ant this creature, this being that I just bonded with, was more special than any of them in a certain way.
And, if he was my mom's familiar, he must really be one of the most amazing, special, and unique creatures existing in this world at the mont.
Perhaps, he was stronger than most other creatures in the garden as well, just like Celes.
Perhaps, I will find that out soon. But, we had a huge problem to deal with before we did any of that…
"Hey… did I see that right?"
"A-a-a Crystal butterfly! She summoned a crystal butterfly!"
"This is big! This is biggg!"
"Everyone! Inform the dia! A new crystal butterfly master has appeared!"
"Everyone! Listen! This is hugeeeeee!"
"Ahhhhhhhh! A crystal butterfly!!"
Everyone below the stage was going crazy while on the other hand, there was an internal discussion going on among the headmasters and the teachers.
There was a large common toon on the way as well, there were things that we will have to do now that we had finished bonding.
One could count the people who had a crystal butterfly as their familiar on two hands and that was also including the speculated people who were unknown to the public.
And now, I was another one that had a crystal butterfly as my familiar.
And, everyone here knew it. Which obviously ant the entire world would know it soon as well.
Things will get difficult soon… so, there were many things we had to deal with first. Starting with this crowd of students and... creatures who were respectfully bowing to us.
