The Fate of The Reincarnated

5. The Tavren’s cloud

Although almost three hundred feet in the air, he could still hear the town of Gales. The townsmen danced and sang by the fire, cooking and celebrating what seemed like a festival.

The sight was surreal and it made him look back at his past life, he couldn't remember much from it but he could vividly see himself constantly working at a dead-end job before retiring into the night- every night. He wasn't completely sure what he was feeling, it was a mix between hope and disappointment and he couldn't quite put it into words. The emotions confused his mind.

Although it didn't seem like they were moving up, he could see the clouds slowly go beneath them as they rose above the floating water droplets. The feeling was serene and he almost felt himself falling asleep on the air bed. "What are you?"

Finn snapped back up with haste and looked at Emma who asked him the question. "What do you mean?"

"You aren't a Crest-Angel I know that, how you got your name into the city registry is confusing but I guess with the right connections it could be done."

"So that's why she brought us up here," Dusk said with a hint of annoyance.

"Never in the history of the clan has a Crest-Angel ever been a Twin attacker, the clan can only reproduce Sorcerers and Knights. Twin attackers have been unheard of in the last century. Plus even if on the slight chance you're an exception, you don't know anything about magic." Emma continued.

"So that's why she attacked us." Dusk pieced together her earlier actions. "She's the curious one."

"..." Finn had no idea how to respond and Dusk wasn't helping in the matter.

"Look I'm not gonna pry if you don't want to tell me." Emma stopped pressing him. "No matter how curious I am, I'm still your teacher."

"Can I tell her?" Finn whispered and Dusk didn't answer.

"As much as I want to say no, she seems trustworthy enough. I can see her stats and traits." Dusk replied.

"Stats and Traits?" Finn covered his mouth after Emma looked at him.

"Yeah, you'll gain enough skill points by level 20 or so. That way you can see the stats and levels of your opponents. Makes it easier to pick your battles."

"So, are you going to tell me who exactly you are or are we going to always have that awkward hole when we talk?"

"I'm not from this world. I was reincarnated by a God. AE- I'm one of the many people meant to kill the demon king." Finn explained and Emma burst out in laughter.

"You don't have to lie. Just say you don't want to say." Emma laughed at Finn's attempt at a lie.

"What a weird stat pad, experience, levels. This is a weird system and wait you aren't a twin attacker?"

[Class switched: Knight].

"How are your classes changing?" Emma said confused.

"I was given a special class by AE." Finn kept changing his classes as he spoke. "Kaleidoscope, it allows me to switch to any class. Using their perks and class abilities accordingly."

Emma looked at his stat pad as the classes continually changed until settling back at Kaleidoscope. "I find it hard to believe but for now I will."

Finn's stat pad closed and he looked at the sky once more, somehow he felt a load fall off his chest and with that load came a purple cloud floating in the sky. "Umm, what's that?"

"That's Tavren, it's a sky bar more or less."

"What the hell is a sky bar?" Finn asked and both air pillows made way for the giant cloud.

Upon moving closer Finn started hearing what would have been regarded as "Heavy Metal" back on Earth, the cloud itself was more akin to mist than an actual cloud. Once you went close enough to it, the floating droplets of water make way and envelope you seemingly bringing you to the entrance of the bar.

"Welcome." A giant man with four arms and eyes said with what Finn could say was the softest voice he had ever heard, so soft he almost laughed at how it measured up to his body.

"Oh hey Kli keeping up the hustle." Emma put her fist out.

"Bills don't pay themselves." Kli completed the fist-bump Emma set up.

The sky bar itself was like a regular bar except for the flashing lights that shined from within it which was ultimately its main attraction, had noticed some things about this world but sometimes he felt wrong. Although he hadn't found time to ask for the date of the world to measure up, most of the things being done in this world felt like things Earth had already passed and then sometimes the things on this world feel on the same level as Earth. As if someone with that knowledge was here already.

"A disco ball, maybe I'm the one underestimating them?" Finn asked himself.

"Though I wanted to wait for you, let me do my job as a guide. YOU are not the FIRST bunch to be sent into this world and if you don't kill the demon king you won't be the last." Dusk explained fiercely.

"What happened to the last group?" Finn asked and immediately he regretted the question.

"You're staring at one of them's memory," Dusk said hinting at the disco ball.

"So you're implying that they died."

"That's exactly what happened, sir."

Finn zoned out after hearing what happened to the last bunch, what happened to them? Was it natural causes? The demon king? Would everyone from the cave die the same as they did? "Are you okay?" Emma tapped his shoulder and he nodded.

Emma grabbed his arm leading him through the dancing people in the middle of the bar, till they reached a table at the edge of the walls. "You sure you okay?"

"Did you know the owner of this bar?"

"Tavren? Yeah, we were close. Rumor has it he was taken out by some hunters though." Emma responded before asking the main question. "Why?"

"He was sent into this world the same as me." Finn held his head. "If I don't kill the demon king... I'll suffer the same death."

"I was going to ask you about that earlier but.... the demon king is dead." Emma put her hand up and a waiter on the opposite side of the bar nodded. "He isn't going to reincarnate for another millennium that's the reason I find it hard to believe your story."

"That can't be true. Who are the hunters then?"

Emma shook her head. "Nobody knows who the hunters are but they aren't rampant enough for anyone to care, they only kill specific people like... Tavren..." Emma looked at him in fright.

"I could be next," Finn said and she could hear the fear in his voice.

"I'm here." Emma pushed her chair towards his and the waiter she ordered earlier came with two giant pints of what should have been beer.

"I know you're just looking out for me but I'm gonna pass on that. I don't feel like drinking right-" Before Finn could complete his sentence two cold hands grabbed him and a liquid was shoved down his gullet.

"I know your worrying but sometimes, just trust your teacher," Emma recalled her air constructs and Finn coughed. "You've done it once already, what's one more?"

"I... I don't... what did you give me?" He fell onto the table.

"Oh wait wait... how old were you again?"

"16?"

"Umm." Emma looked at the waiter and he walked off with his hands in the air as if saying "Don't blame me."

"Wasn't... that just bee-rrrr?"

"It's magic-induced, you have to be at least 34 to ingest great amounts. Your half of that."

"You really should... ask-k more questi...ons." Finn fell asleep and Emma smiled.

"Worrying is bad for you, maybe not as bad as the amounts of alcohol you just consumed but still pretty bad."

"Where have I seen this before?" Dusk wondered.
