Kira nodded. “Yes.”
“Good,” She smiled. “Welcome to the Striktin Guild.”
Kira smiled before thanking her. Clarisse nodded her head in response. She then turned to Orion, asking him to enter a back room. He nodded, taking Keagan with him. They left Kira and Dawn to wait for them in the main room of the guild.
“Let’s sit down. Orion and Keagan are talking with the guild master right now.” Dawn said, leading the way. She found a half-empty table, sitting down. Kira sat down next to her, glancing at the adventurers in front of him. One of them was dressed in a red and white flannel shirt and leather pants. The other was in a leather vest and black trousers.
“U-Uh,” Kira started. “What kind of man is the guild master?”
“The guild master? He’s a… a very brilliant and brave man. He’s also very kind and understanding. If you have a problem related to the guild, I’m sure he’ll find a way, even if he has to disgrace himself, to fix it.”
Kira nodded, looking away. He would even disgrace himself over adventurers? Woah. He thought to himself. “I kind of want to-” Kira turned to face Dawn, finding that the man in the flannel had gotten up and was walking around the table. He wrapped his hand around Dawn’s shoulder, leaning in.
“Good afternoon, miss. How have you been today.” He said. To Kira, it was obvious that the man was intoxicated. “You are such a beauty… why are you wasting your time with a child?” He asked.
Dawn froze, feeling the man’s hot breath on her left ear. She looked away, looking uncomfortable. “U-Uh… Excuse me… s-sir?”
“What ‘ya want beauty?” He asked, swaying a bit.
Kira scowled at the man before shooting up from his seat. He approached the man, grabbing his arm. “E-Excuse me, sir. Leave her alone. She’s very uncomfortable.” He told the man. He was used to working with alcoholics who grew very bold while intoxicated.
The man furrowed his brows, backing away from Dawn as if he was going to leave. Kira figured that the man was retreating, but he was wrong. The man pulled back a closed hand and allowed it to run amok freely.
Kira avoided the punch, taking a few steps backward. Nearby adventurers saw the first punch, now chanting “Fight! Fight! Fight!” They were provoking the man and lighting a fire under him. He grinned, believing that he had the support of everybody around him, and threw a second punch. However, Kira dodged that one as well.
Before he could throw a third one, Kira shouted “Freeze Strike!” At the man. The man, who had a third punch being prepared, stopped moving suddenly. He was frozen in place - his muscles refusing to move.
“W-What the hell?” The man’s friend shouted. He jumped out of his seat and rushed to the flannel man’s side. He tried to get the man moving, but it wasn’t working. “What kind of magic did you use? Let him move now!”
“Yeah! Unfreeze him!”
“No honor!”
“Greenhorn afraid to fight!”
Man people pitched their voices, arguing that Kira was afraid to fight and used Freeze Strike to avoid it. The adventurers in the room wanted to see a fight and even blood being sprayed everywhere, but Kira stopped it. The excitement, which was growing, had disintegrated anti-climatically. They were now angry, many of them shouting for a fair fight and the restriction of magic. Some even stood up to fight Kira, escalating the situation.
“Don’t you dare fight in here! All of you idiots, sit down!” A man exclaimed. It was the guild master, an elderly bald man dressed in a Japanese-styled robe. His eyebrows were slanted downward and he wore a nasty glare “You!” He pointed at Kira. “Unfreeze that man and get in here!”
Kira nodded, flinching at the man’s words. He unfroze the flannel man, glancing at Dawn. He motioned for her to follow him, which she did so without hesitation. Kira and Dawn followed the guild master into his personal room.
Waiting for them were Orion and Keagan, both of who wore worried and confused looks. “What happened?” He asked Kira and Dawn.”
“A fight nearly broke out between all of those adventurers and this boy. You know him, Orion?”
“I was the one who brought him here. I’ll take all responsibility for his actions.” Orion informed the guild master.
“No!” Dawn shouted. “It was my fault that the fight nearly broke out like that.”
The guild master motioned for Kira and Dawn to sit down before sitting down himself. He intertwined his fingers before looking up at Kira and Dawn. “What happened?”
“A man was… harassing me. Kira stepped in.” Dawn said.
The guild master furrowed his brows, now staring at Kira. “A kid with a big sense of justice, I assume. Well… It’s good that the youth still have their morals, but… fighting in a guild building will not be allowed. Do you understand?”
Kira nodded. He bowed his head slightly. “I’m sorry… sir.”
“Call me Ruben,” Ruben said. “So… now I have a question for you. Orion said that he found you in the forest. How… did you get there?” Ruben raised one eyebrow, looking deep into Kira’s eyes.
“I…” Kira started. What should I do? I can’t reveal anything about my previous life, Visa, or Nazifa. So… do I lie? I have to! “... I was abandoned.” He blurted out.
“You were… abandoned?” Ruben questioned. Kira nodded, sticking to the lie. “Do you remember your parents or were you abandoned early on? And how did you survive for this long?”
“I… I don’t remember my parents. I survived on… berries? Yeah, berries and fruits.”
Ruben titled his head. “No meats?”
“U-Uh… Yeah, I ate meats. Just like small animals.”
“Then how do you look so fit for your age? Shouldn’t you be more scrawny?”
“Well, you see… I… Uh, I ate…” Kira was stumped. He couldn’t think of a lie to give Ruben. He was now stuck in a corner and armed with a grenade without the pin. It would explode soon if he can’t leave the corner.
Fortunately, an escape path revealed itself in Orion. “Ruben, do you mind not drilling him on his past? Wouldn’t it be considered rude to ask so much about my guest?”
Ruben nodded, relenting. “Fine…” He extended his hand to Kira. “Welcome to Striktin, Kira.”
Kira shook his head. “Thank you.”
Ruben nodded, smiling. “Sorry, now excuse me. I have some stuff to attend to.”
“Is it related to what we talked about?” Orion asked.
“Yes. The future king and queen are expected to arrive today if there weren’t any problems. I need to go and see if they arrived or not. I wouldn’t want to be rude to them, would I?” He joked. He took a few steps forward before stopping. “Oh, Kira?”
Kira turned around to face Ruben. “Y-Yes, sir?”
“I’m interested in your future. The fact that you survived living in the Astrial Forest and even communicated with the Dragon King makes me very interested in your future. I can only hope to see the day where you become… Historia’s most powerful tamer!”
Hello All!
Thank you for reading Kira: The Powerful Tamer - Origins. This installment summarizes the more important parts of Kira’s fifty years in Astrial Forest. A more detailed story about those fifty years might arrive in a future series, but for now, you have all gotten a glimpse into his years of near-solitude
However, now, he’s been freed by the Fizer party (Orion, Dawn, and Keagan) and he will venture around with them and meet new characters. His next appearance is in another of my series - Legend: Season Two. This crossover season includes the Legend characters, Demon Hunter characters, and the Kira: The Powerful Tamer characters rolled up in one plot.
Season one of Kira: The Powerful Tamer will air on a collection of shorts titled ‘Multiverse: Collection’ on Bookrix in December 2021 and end around January/February of 2022. This season will occur after the events of Legend: Season Two, but won’t include the crossover characters. However, I implore you to read Legend: Season Two before venturing into Kira’s first season. If you chose to not read Legend: Season Two, then the switch in location and sudden increase in characters may be confusing.
That’s all I have for today. Until next time, I bid you all a good day.
