Important Note: I heavily edited all the chapters before this one, chapter 3 has the most changes and that was the one about her past, but to sum it up; your sister's name is now Marry (self-inserts are gross idk why I did that), you were actually 16 when you joined the jury not 13 and Zane was only 3-4 years older. I also removed most of your powers, you now only have lightness and blood powers. Just thought I should clear that up for those who don't want to reread. 

(Y/n)- Your Name

(L/n)- Last Name

(s/t)- Sword Type

(e/c)- Eye Color

(h/c)- Hair Color

(y/g)- Your Gender

(h/l)- Hair Length

(j/n)- Jury Title Name

(V/n)- Village Name

"When will Aphmau return along with Laurance and Katelyn?"

"I do not know."

I couldn't help but listen to Levin and Malachi talking as I spin a cooking knife, humming to myself.

"It's Lord Aphmau!" Someone yelled, too surprised to notice who yelled it. The three of us look over quickly in surprise. The trip took way to long and we were about to panic, but where they were... But...

They were meif'was... Not gonna lie, they look adorable. But they were clearly not pleased.

"What happened, Aphmau?" Levin asked, it clearly hurt him to not call her mom. 

"A lot of things," Aphmau sighed and got off her horse.

Laurance went over to me quickly, Katelyn just gave me a side glance but didn't move.

"I think I messed up..." Laurance whispered to me and I gave him a confused look, but he just took my hand and lead me away, his orange colored ears flickering.

Laurance than explained everything to me. The stranger, Aphmau meeting Garroth in her dreams, the kidnapping, turning into meif'was, Aphmau about to be married to a werewolf, Laurance transforming and killing a bunch of them, then how Aphmau had to kiss him to calm him down.

I just gave a small nod and sigh, "You might just need to work on controlling yourself... But stranger?"

"Aphmau has been getting closer to him and he only ever talks to her..." Laurance sighed and looks at me, "He's just mysterious but he saved Aphmau from me..."

I look up at Laurance, "Okay, thank you for telling me everything."

Laurance smiled at me, "Anything for you." He teased and heads off somewhere else, most likely to find Aphmau.

I watch him walk off and held the cooking knife in my hand still, starting to spin it again as I went to chill by the front gate of New Phoenix Drop.

-Time Skip-

It was around midnight, everyone was pretty much in bed. But a couple guards and me, watching the place like a hawk. Alexis looked pretty sleepy as she stood guard at the gate. I sighed quietly, heading over to her. "Hey Alexis, let me handle this for the rest of the night, you need some sleep."

"O-Oh, okay, thank you..." She whispers quickly and heads off. I watch her run off in slight surprise, but I get into the guard position and look over the town.

I kept watch for about an hour or so when I heard something off in the distance. Might as well check. I let Kyle know before I head off to check what it was, in the ruins of Old Phoenix Drop. 

I wander (this is a real word, don't @ me) around to where I thought I heard the noise. I forgot my sword in the tree house, but I still had the kitchen knife on me. I held it tightly in my hand as I stood in a small clearing in the old Phoenix Drop. This must be where a wheat field was. 

I look around and sigh, must have been nothing. There was a snap and before I could turn around, something sliced around my leg, causing me to stumble and fall. I winced as my leg was cut and I quickly turn on my back, looking up at the attacker. My eyes widened.

"Ivy! How did you find me!?"

"Why wouldn't I look for my favorite person?" She crackles and grins at him, holding her sythe in hand. "Just come home with me, no one will get hurt."

I glance towards new Phoenix Drop, but then I glare at Ivy. "Looks like you're gonna have to force me."

"Stubborn as ever," She hissed and swung at my arm, but I roll out of the way and the sythe hit the dirt with a slash. I quickly stood up, ignoring the pain in my leg. I went to swing the kitchen knife at her, but she easily moved out of its way. 

She laughs at my pathic weapon but was surprised when I charge at her. I knock her to the ground, disarming her as her sythe flew somewhere else. 

She growls and glares at me as I pin her down to the ground. She quickly went into her jury form, flipping us over and pinning me down.

I hissed slightly and glare, making a surprised sound when she kissed me. I shut my eyes tightly as she kissed me, turning into my jury form. I grew a bit taller along with (f/c) sparks flying around me, my skin going a paler color. 

I quickly kick Ivy in the stomach, sending her into a tree. I spit some saliva out on the ground before standing up. I look towards Ivy. Ivy glares at me with her bright crystal eyes, slowly standing up. The tree had cracked.

Ivy summons a sword. The Sword. The sword that could end the war or cause more violence. Shad's relic sword. A loud thunder goes off as she held in her hands. The sword was large, a crystal blue with gray sparks around it. My breathing picks up as I look at it. 

Shad, Mikoi, Irene, Enki, Esmund, Menphia, Kul'Zak...  

‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾

"How did Shad lose his power?" Marry asked me as she sat on the couch.

"The other divine warriors ripped his relic in half." I answer as I work, not looking up.

"What was his relic...?"

"It was stored in a sword, now he's just a lost soul." I look up at her.

"Is he going to be at full power one day?"

"Let's hope not..."

‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾  

"Scared?" Ivy questions me, holding the sword tightly.

I take a deep breath as I don't answer her. I was almost caught off guard when Ivy charges me with the sword. I dodge out of the way and watch in shock as she nearly sliced a tree in half. She wouldn't kill me, would she?

Ivy grumbled and looks towards me, holding the large sword up; it was nearly the same height as her. I bite my lip and throw the kitchen knife her way, but she sliced it in half with her sword. She crackles when she did and looks at me again, her eyes looking crazier than normal. They were like a poison green-blue. 

I heard footsteps and I turn to look, not seeing Ivy smirk and charge at me again. I gasp and jump up, landing on a branch of a tree but Ivy quickly had the tree down. I almost failed the landing.

"(Y/n)!" Someone yelled and I look over, seeing Lord Aphmau, Laurance, Kyle, and Katelyn.

I huffed and dodged another attack from Ivy. I notice Katelyn grow angry at Ivy, her hands going in fists and her gritting her teeth. She had her firefist claws on as she raced at Ivy, swinging at her.

Ivy dodges and swung her sword at Katelyn, but Aphmau was quick to yell out a warning so Katelyn blocks her with her claws.

"Get lost, Ivy!"

"I'm not leaving until I get what's mine!"

"Nothing here is yours!"

Ivy ignored Katelyn and looks towards me with those icy eyes, "I loved you!"

"I never returned those feelings, get lost!" I lied, I did and probably still do.

Ivy's face twists into shock, then angry, then regret. She quickly was gone in a flash, Katelyn stumbling forward a bit.

Laurance looks towards me, his ears low on his head.

I swallow thickly, "I can explain..."
