Phantom Guardians|Episode 8|

"How did..how did you grow wings?!" Violet asked



"I..uhh..it's a long story. I'll explain it to you when we get inside." Princess Naomi said.





The three of them walked inside the castle. It was magnificent inside. The walls were quite authentic looking just like what a real castle would have. Chandeliers were hanging from the ceiling and it illuminated the whole castle easily.



"We call this castle, The Sanctuary." Princess Naomi explained.





.:The Sanctuary:.





"So, you gonna explain to us bout your wings and bow?" Violet said.





"You're an impatient one aren't you. Oh well, I was gonna explain to you sooner or later anyway. As you know, everyone here is a phantom wielder, and that includes me. When someone summons their phantom guardian, the guardian itself will usually come out and aid the host yes? I'm sure professor Friedrich has explained this to you. I unfortunately, cannot fully summon my guardian. Instead the guardian gave me wings and a golden bow called the Bow of Penitence. The feather from the wings act as arrows for the bow and they are unlimited in numbers. Obviously, that is why I know how to use a bow. Apparently it is very rare for someone to not be able to fully summon their guardians. I'm one of the unlucky ones." Princess Naomi explained





"Wow, that's really sad." Shiroi said as a tear rolled down his face

"Hey idiot, how come you didn't complain that it was a long lecture?" Forked Tongue teased him

"Shut up FT!" Shiroi whispered





"So basically, you become your own guardian?" Violet asked.



"Indeed, that is somewhat true. I can still hear Archangel talking to me though so he's still inside me but unable to come out." Princess Naomi said. "Oh yeah, why don't I show you around since we haven't done that yet."



They toured around inside the huge castle the whole day. There were dormitories for the students, classes for basic and advanced learnings, a library, restrooms(obviously XD), a relic room where they kept relics and important items, an inner sanctuary room where advanced students usually go to meditate, a huge dining hall and many more.



As they passed by the relic room, a black short sword was on display in the middle of the room.



"How come that short sword is on display?" Violet asked.



"That's the unnamed black sword that noone has ever been able to touch or go near at all. Apparently it fell from the sky and landed right here in the middle of the relic room and since then noone has touched it. Anyone who tried was kicked backwards by a powerful shockwave that emitted from the sword. If I were you I wouldn't go near it." Princess Naomi said.



"Interesting.." Violet said

"Hey, why don't we try touching it sometime." White Katana said.

"You crazy?! Didn't you hear Princess Naomi said that anyone who touched it would get kicked back?" Violet whispered

"Hehe, I dunno. Seems like fun." White Katana replied.

"You're crazy you know that.."









They walked around the castle where they haven't toured yet and without realising it, night time came.



"It's been nice being a tourguide for both of you." Princess Naomi smiled. "Anyway here are your keys to your room. Just go in the dormitory and look for your door, there should be two unoccupied rooms ready for both of you. Goodnight and sleep well"



"Good night my princess~" Shiroi said in his mind

"ahahahahha, why don't you say that loudly." Forked Tongue said.

"The hell!? You can read my mind?!" Shiroi thought to himself.

"Duh..I know every..single..thing that you've thought of today" Forked Tongue laughed

"Shush! Don't you dare say anything."

"Wahahahaha looks like I can blackmail you now. Get me some grapes!!!"

"No!"

"Ok I'm telling everyone!"

"Ok ok fine.." Shiroi grumbled to himself.





"Goodnight Princess Naomi!" Violet waved.



They both walked into the dormitory where everyone stared at them.



"Uhh..hello?" Violet said while shivering

"I don't think they accept me..." she thought to herself.



"Welcome to the dormitory newcomers!" all the students shouted and celebrated.



"Ok..maybe they did accept me..I gotta stop thinking too much.."







That night while everyone was sleeping, Violet was wide awake and couldn't sleep.



She walked to the inner sanctuary where people usuall meditated and sat down on the floor.

"White Katana, it's time for our meditation again."

"With pleasure."

Violet closed her eyes and when she opened them she was in the phantom world.

"So, Violet. You think you can finally master the summoning technique here?"

"Of course, I...I can feel it running through my veins!"


After nearly 2 hours of meditating......


Violet's body in the real world started to glow with a pure white aura with a mixture of light blue. She started to levitate above the ground and her katana glowed white. Suddenly her eyes opened and they were glowing light blue.

Her unconscious state suddenly grabbed her katana and took it out 1/4 from its sheath.

"..ILLUMINATE THE DARKNESS FROM WITHIN! TSUKI!"

She took out the katana fully and the whole room started to vibrate. The whole room illuminated fully from the glow of the katana and suddenly the white ninja came out from Violet's body wielding the pure white katana.

"You finally mastered the technique Violet. Congrats." Tsuki said.

As she regained consciousness, Violet stood up and grabbed her katana and sheathed it in.

"So like..your real name's Tsuki?" she asked

"Yeah. We don't really get our real names until our hosts master the summoning technique." Tsuki answered.

"Wait...I mastered the summoning technique?! Wooo!!! Wooohoo!!!!"

She quickly ran out of the room and ran past the relic room where the black short sword glowed immensely. She didn't realise this and quickly went to Shiroi's front door and knocked it wildly.

"Shiroi!! I mastered the summoning technique!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The door slowly opened but Shiroi was still on his bed.

"..Shiroi..?"

Violet slowly walked up to Shiroi and saw him having multiple wounds.

"..be..hind you...Violet.." Shiroi muttered

A huge werewolf was standing behind her. His fur was dark brown and his claws were sharp as hell. He roared loudly and woke everyone up.

"Holy...crap..." Violet said as she stared blankly at the werewolf


"Fresh..blood....must...kill!!!" The werewolf tried to slash Violet but she quickly dodged as she stepped backwards.

She took out her katana slowly, "Illuminate the darkness from within, Tsuki!" and she finally took it out fully. The blade shined brightly and Tsuki walked out of Violet.

"Well, well. Look's like I get to finally kill again." Tsuki said as she quickly dashed next to the werewolf and withthin a blink of an eye she used her white katana and stabbed the werewolf's neck and slashed it off. The head fell on the floor and the body kneeled down, lifeless. Tsuki wasn't satisfied as she grabbed her katana and slashed off the wolf's arms and legs leaving the body there.

"Wow, you really must be thirsty for killing." Violet said

"I try," Tsuki laughed.

"Oh my god, Shiroi!" Violet turned around and Shiroi was still badly wounded.

"Violet! You got any healing fruits with you?" Tsuki demanded.

"Oh yeah, I have one in my pocket right now!." Violet fed Shiroi a piece from the fruit and Shiroi's wounds started to heal and disappear.

"Man, took you long enough! I almost died there. Oh and I'm happy that you mastered your technique and all but still.." Shiroi sarcastically said.

"Who asked you to be so stupid and not retaliate?" Violet laughed

"In case you don't remember, I still haven't mastered summoning Forked Tongue.."

"Oh yeah..sorry." Violet smiled.


"Hmm..you know what, I saw the black sword glow just now when you ran past the relic rom." Tsuki said.

"Really?" Violet asked. "get some rest Shiroi, I'll go and check out the sword."


Violet and Tsuki walked to the relic room and saw the black sword glow yet again.

"Interesting..." Violet said as she walked up to it.

She put her left hand above the sword and it glowed even more immensely dark black

"Hey, you weren't kicked back by a shockwave." Tsuki said.

"You're right.."

Violet slowly lowered her hand down and grabbed the handle of the short sword. A powerful dark shockwave started twirling around Violet's body.

"Shit, what's going on!?!?" Violet grabbed the short sword and took it out of the display. An intense power surge ran through Violet as a short ninja kid walked out of the sword carrying an exact copy of the real short sword.

"Ah...finally someone woke me up.." The kid said.


"Wh...who the heck are you!?" Violet said as she was trying to recollect herself.

"Black Wakizashi!?!?!?!??!" Tsuki suddenly said with a shocked face.


"Eh? Big Sister!?!?!?" the kid responded.


"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!?" Violet yelled.
