Vasilisius and Yukihime suddenly revealed something important which I had no idea of.
Their past.
They were part of the same village, both reincarnated people with Unique Skills, and were suddenly attacked by "golems" of some metallic type, their entire village was wipe out alongside the people on it, and I guess their parents too…
"I know this might be painful…. But do you remember how were these golems? How did they attacked?" I asked.
"Huh? Why do you ask?" asked Yukihime."I just… have to know." I said.
"They were…. Metallic. And were able to use fire magic, incredibly explosive one." Said Vasilisius.
"Vasilisius! Why would you talk about such memories… so coldly?" sighed Yukihime.
"Yukihime, we are already dead, what's the point anymore?" sighed Vasilisius.
"…I guess you're right." Sighed Yukihime.
"I understand how you might feel, you don't have to talk more than that. I think I get it now." I said.
"You get it now?" asked Yukihime."Don't tell me…" said Vasilisius.
"Yes, I know who those golems were… I know who's behind them too, and I know why they came to your village… It was for you." I said.
"Eh?"
"Huh?"
"I suppose this bastard's identity is still very secretive… his name is Greenwood, an Elf. He's an insane man looking for Unique Skill users… His goals are unclear to me at the moment, but I believe he desires to absorb the Unique Skills of people to gain power and… achieve something beyond simplistic power." I said.
"Beyond…?!" asked Yukihime.
"Y-You're telling us… that… they came come for us?!" asked Vasilisius.
"Yes… It happened to my wife Benladann… Her entire village was burned alive by metallic golems. He was looking for her, they didn't answered, and were all destroyed…" I sighed.
Yukihime and Vasilisius looked at me with impact in their eyes, they were deeply shocked by my words. I understood how they could feel, I also felt just as devastated back then.
It was all so sudden and horrendous…
"I can't believe it… So Benladann also… went through the same?" asked Yukihime.
"Yeah, I didn't because I was just born as a dragon… an egg, abandoned in a mountain or something." I said.
"I see… But to think that there would be such a thing…" said Vasilisius.
"S-So this bastard… You know him?" asked Yukihime.
"A bit, he's part of my side quest… I am trying to find clues about him, but wherever something shady happens, he's always behind it or in some ways, someone related to him…" I said.
"I see… Then let me help you find him as well." Said Vasilisius.
"You're really helping? That's good, its nice to have you joining me more willingly now." I said.
Vasilisius nodded, as his eyes suddenly were filled with burning and blazing hatred.
"Indeed, I want to help you find out that bastard, so we can crush him together… I won't rest until I can see that man agonizing in the ground and asking for forgiveness… To think that we were foolish enough to think it was just monsters… when there was an entire conspiracy behind everything!" muttered Vasilisius, gritting his teeth in anger.
"I also want to help, Drake… As Vasilisius said… I also want to avenge my parents, and our village, even after over a thousand years since then, I cannot possibly let this slide easily… Now that there are clues, and an actual reason behind this massacre other than just wild monsters like we had originally thought… there's no reason to not help you." Said Yukihime.
I smiled at the two, they were filled with resolve.
"You two are strong on your own, that's good, I will be using your strength all I can to bring you to victory, but you two better put enough work as well, I don't want slackers." I said.
"Don't worry, as ghosts, we are quite restless." Said Yukihime.
"We can do many more things than you can imagine." said Vasilisius.
"Me too, Drake, as Yukihime's companion since ancient times, I will also join her in her journey… I was also born kind of like you, my mother left my egg abandoned, and Yukihime picked me up and raised me back then… I own her a lot." said Mikoto.
"Mikoto…" sighed Yukihime, caressing her Lunar Dragon.
"Yukihime, we are on this together, like we had always been, as friends." Said Mikoto.
"You're really a hopeless girl." Sighed Yukihime.
"And you're reckless to tell Drake that you will do something so dangerous! Of course I will join you and help you out." Said Mikoto.
The two were good friends, I suppose they had a long history together since Yukihime's childhood.
"Hm, that's good. Then, you three make peace with one another if you want to cooperate well enough." I said.
The trio looked at one another, and then the duo of girls realized they had to make peace with Vasilisius, while Vasilisius realized I was referring to him making peace with Mikoto and Yukihime.
"EH?!" they asked at the same time.
"Come on! It shouldn't be so hard! Do it now, shake your hands." I said.
The two resentfully glanced at one another.
"Let's do it to avenge our families and our villages then." Said Vasilisius.
"I guess… Yeah." Sighed Yukihime.
The two shook their hands as Mikoto nodded.
"Good! See? It wasn't that hard! Hahaha!" I laughed, just to lighten the mood.
Suddenly, the door of the second floor opened.
"Drake? What are you doing there? Huh? You're talking with ghosts? Come to bed already…" sighed Benladann, wearing a cute pajama.
"Ah… Sorry guys, I have to go back now, let's talk this out tomorrow… Sorry!" I said, as I rushed towards Benladann and apologized.
"You should had told me you were going out at night! Also you were making such a loud fuss down there… I can't sleep…" sighed Benladann, acting rather grumpy.
"Haha… Sorry dear, let's go cuddle together." I said.
We walked back to the bed, and we went to sleep.
