Talk:Absolute Duo:Volume 1 Prologue

My edits:

I never had any time to inquire the meaning ot these words.

"Agh!"

Mark called "Astar" appeared on my chest, emitting burning heat.

The heat spread throughout my body in an instant; it was hard to breath.

This hellish fire was tearing me apart.

However, such was a ritual.

A process of sublimation during which "Luciful" - the power that far surpasses that of a man - is released in your body. // A wild guess.

"Ugh... Ah... Aaaaaaagh!"

I shouted in agony, feeling my blood, flesh and bones burn.

Seconds later, "Flame" enveloped my body.

Hell fire, overflowing from "Astar", released by me went wild as if trying to burn me.

But I can't give in.

If I do, I won't be able to obtain what I desire.

(I... I should accomplish my mission!)

That's right. I can't stop until I reach my goal.

That's why I should master the "Flame" that burns wildly.

No, I am able to control it.

Because this "Flame" - is my soul.

"Ooooooooooh!" I shouted from the top of my lungs, raised my arm and grabbed the "Flame".

""Blaze"!"

Responding to my command, "Flame" which was incinerating my body swirled around my arm like a snake, radiating a bright light.

"Kuh...!"

It was so bright I wasn't even able to keep my eyes open-

When the light finally disappeared, I took a look at my arm, and the sight shocked me.

My "Flame" has turned into a "Shield".

"Is... this my "Blaze"...?"

""Irregular", that's how I would call it."

The person who had been watching over me silently ever since I said that word finally spoke. //What word? Not defined.

Devilsh, ominous.

These words came to my mind when I looked at the little girl in a gothic dress.

"Irregular" - there was a reason why she said that word.

Usually, "Blaze" which was defining "Soul" would take form of a weapon.

However, what appeared on my arm was a form of protection.

The metal shield was thick, heavy, and hard, giving me the impression that it definitely would not be cracked or pierced.

(What an irony...)

For me, a boy who was unable to protect, to have attain "Shield", a symbol of protection...

Despite my memories of past I couldn't return to...

The girl in black dress put an end to my recollection.

"Now, go. What will be the path "Shield" will be leading you to... I'm curious about it."

Leaving only her laughter behind, the girl in black dress disappeared in darkness.

After that, only silence filled the room.

Such was the beginning of mine - the story of Tooru Kokonoe.
