Epsilon

Gin opened his eyes, he was in the squad dorm.

"You are awake". Sachiko said to Gin.

"What happened to me, I remember about that monster taking over my body and some people talking about taking the powers from a girl-

"Don't stress yourself too much. That girl is safe, we have checked her and looks like she also have arigakin powers inside her".

"But who were those people that were trying to take her powers".

"They probably were the shadow assassins. Even after all these years they are after that book and crystal".

"But why are they trying to take that girl's Arigakin".

"They were trying to make her arigakin their own".

"What? Is that possible?".

"Yes, indeed it is. You can take others arigakin powers and made them your own but the person that will lose the power will die. Just like when you take out a plant of the soil, it will die".

"I really don't understand this world".

"You don't need to, but will talk about that later. First of all tell me what happened when that monster took over your body?".

"I don't remember exactly but I was in a very dark place and I couldn't see any thing but I could here what was happening outside. I heard that the monster killed all of those shadow assassins. I could also feel my arms stabbing through the heart of those assassins but I couldn't stop it, But I some how managed to took control of my body and stop that monster from the the girl".

"Did you hear that monster saying something to you while you were in that dark place?".

"Yes, but he kept saying only one thing".

"What was that?".

"Zephon".

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes, why are you asking that?".

"Because it is not even a Xi class monster, Actually it's not even a monster. It is what we call 'Epsilon' class".

"But why is that?".

"It is because we have only heard about these and the only information we have about them is what written in the old manuscripts, Come I'll show you".

They both got into a room where many ancient books were kept. Sachiko took of the book and showed Gin,

"Look here it's written about Zephon. It is said that Zephon , Arakiel and Netzach were the guardian of the earth realm but Zephon betrayed the two and wanted to conquer the earth realm so Arakiel and Netzach took away his powers and dropped him to earth realm".

"But why is this Zephon inside me?".

"Only Zephon himself can answer this. But now that we know it's not a monster we have to be extra careful because he is clearly more powerful than any other monsters that you will ever encounter".

"What should we do now?".

"First of all I'll report this to the commander, till then you can get back to the squad dorm".

Sachiko left to meet the commander, while Gin was worried about what is going to happen next. He came back to the squad dorm and saw that girl from earlier.

"H-hi, thanks for saving me".

"I didn't saved you. Instead that Zephon was trying to kill you".

"I don't who know is he, but I remember you killing all those people, so I guess you still saved me. Bye for now, I have to look for captain Sachiko".

"She has gone to the Commander's dorm. Come I'll show you".

"Thanks, let's go".

Gin and that girl left to go to the Commander's dorm, while in the way Gin asked that girl,

"By the way what's your name?".

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. My name is Yukina".

"My name is Gin. But can you tell me how did you ended up with those shadow assassins".

"Actually me and my family lived in Trestila , it's a small town with a lot of poor families, we were one of them. One day some men came to our home and asked my mother and father to give me to them in exchange of money".

"So you mean your mom and dad sold you!"

"No they didn't. They kept refusing even when they raised the amount of money and after some time two of them attacked my mom and dad. My mom told me to run but I was caught by one of them and they killed my father and mother in front of me".

Yukina was reduced to tears. She doesn't wanted to remember any of that.

"Hey don't cry , you know we will avenge your mom and dad. Okay?

"Ye-s".

While Gin was consoling Yukina, Sachiko arrived.

"Hey, What happened Gin?

"Actually I was asking Yukina about how she got with those assassins, but I think that was not a thing that I should have done".

"No it's okay, it was not your fault it's mine that I have this weird thing inside me".

"It's not any one's fault!". Sachiko said.

"Now both of you come to the squad dorm I have something to tell you".

In the squad dorm,

"So I met with commander and he said that Yukina should stay here in the squad dorm for a few more weeks and rest, after that we'll decide what to do. And Gin there's a special order for you.

"What's that?".

"We can't let you go like this in your world".

"What do you mean like this?".

"I mean with Zephon inside you. We won't extract him of course or else you'll die. But Commander said that the ancient book which we have to find contains a safe way to sperate you and Zephon".

"So now it's more important to find that book".

"Yes, but it will be difficult to sperate Zephon form you if you two don't have a pact so I recommend you to form a pact with him as fast as possible".

"But you yourself said that making a pact with a Xi level is difficult and the one inside me is not even a Xi it's even higher than that!".

"Yeah I know. Guess I don't have any other way. I'll use it".

"You'll use what?".

"See I don't want to complicate it, there's a way for you to go inside your concoiusness to met Zephon".

"What? How can I"

"It's a special method know as 'Spirit transfer' and is practised by the mages of Crancia town. It's not far away form here, We'll leave for it tommorow".
