Chapter 13: New Armour I opened the house's door and stepped in to find four pairs of eyes staring at me. Roy was especially surprised. "Hey." I smiled and Alexis walked in beside me. Roy looked around and found everyone's jaw wide open. "Who's she?" Lacus decided to break the silence. "Ivan, turned into a girl just like in his past life." Roy explained. Lopez's jaw dropped further. "So he's a pervert?" he asked. I moved to his back in the blink of an eye and hit him lightly on the head. "This armour can only be worn by female archers, I had no choice." I cast a glance at Mei Ling. She quickly explained the rest. "You DO know that's kinda revealing, don't you?" Roy remarked. "I know, but at least it'll help to beat Saevio." I replied. I felt hot and decided to go for a swim. Since I was a girl once again, I would have to borrow one of Alexis's swimsuits. However, when I tried to take my armour off, it wouldnt budge. I looked in a mirror and spotted writing on the cloth barely covering my chest. She who wears this armour will never be able to take it off until death. The bearer of this armour shall be forever immortal. I realized with a shock what the curse that the Dark Dragon had been talking about was. When I tried to call it, it wouldn't respond. I tried slipping the swimsuit on over my armour, but the swimsuit dissolved into dust. I sat down and began to cry. Being immortal wasn't something I wanted! I spotted more writing on my right arm plate and looked at it. Other clothes shall be worn no more, this armour shall be your one and only garment. I gasped. Now I would have to go out wearing this!? How do I break the curse? I decided to ignore it for the moment and take a swim. I got out, the armour dripping wet. It easily dried itself in a matter of seconds. I tried to rip the armour off, but again, it wouldn't budge. The cloth parts displayed remarkable strength. I remembered the strange gun that had turned me into a girl in my past life and walked into my bedroom, looking for it. I quickly located it. If this didn't work, I would probably turn into some sort of monster or something though...... I took the risk and shot myself with it. The armour buzzed for a second. The energy from the gun dissipated across it and my chest started tingling. I looked down at myself to find my chest growing. What the heck!? I quickly checked through the rest of my armour for more legible writing. Most were runes though. Eventually, I found a understandable line on my bikini. This armour was forged to withstand any spell and absorb its energy, transferring it to its own power reserves in the chest. The larger your chest, the more energy you have in yourself. I groaned. This reminded me of the Akasha Charm. A strange voice sounded in my head as I read through the runes on my left arm plate. "I am the demon Jakito who possessed Queen Torteliangra and used her to create chaos in the world. These are my last words. Before Torteliangra died, she managed to transmute my very soul into this set of armour. This armour was enchanted to absorb magical energy and transform it into pure energy. I have managed to hijack this system and allow the energy to transfer into me. When there is enough, I will be able to control the female that puts on this armour." I gasped. So this was the curse of the armour! I didn't dare to shoot myself with the gun again, knowing full well that if I shot myself too many times, the demon would awaken. I searched the armour for more information, but my back plate was out of sight. A mirror revealed a logo of a shield embossed on the back of the armour. Sure, there were runes on it, but I couldn't see them. "Artemis, I think Mei Ling would agree to us sharing rooms now." Alexis walked in the door. I tried to hide my horror, but she saw through it. "What's wrong?" she asked. I pointed at the runes on my left arm plate. She walked closer and took a look. "No way......" she gasped. "We need to find a way to get it off you!" Alexis exclaimed. She stared into the shield logo on my back for a while, trying to make out the runes. "These are like nothing I have ever seen before." the Siren admitted. "I don't think we can do anything about it at the moment......" I sighed. Alexis caught sight of the writing on my bikini. "Reminds me of the Akasha Charm." she remarked. "Anyway, we'd better sleep. It's getting late." she laid down on the bed and motioned for me to get on. She pulled the blanket over us. |
