I awoke from my slumber with a start and a sharp breath. I felt extremely exhausted. I looked around and realized I was still in the same old abandoned building. The mirror was shattered. I jumped as I heard a tired voice behind me.
"Welcome back," said an old man. "It took us a while to find you again but we managed."
"What do you mean?" I asked, "I've never seen you before in my life! Agh, I have a splitting headache!"
"That's because two of you have become one of you."
"What!?"
"This mirror was actually a composite of water and metal, the two most powerful conduits of the universe.  When Kyle and Auron touched this 'gateway,' it fused the two of them together."
"Kyle and Auron? That's me! I think... wait.. both of me?"
"Yes, you are their fusion form known as Akarune."

"Aka-rune...?" I sputtered, "Akarune. Yes, that sounds quite familiar but why?"
The old man smartly replied, "Because he is you."
"Yes. I am Akarune. I remember now." I looked upon the now familiar man. "Ah, it's been a while Senex. Why, the last time I've been conscious was..."
"When evil was at it's peak."
"Yes, that's right. Wait! What's going on then?" I asked alarmingly.
Slowly Senex began, "Well, it seems that evil is afoot once more, Akarune. In both your times of olde and new there are malicious activities underway."
"Yes I recall strange happenings."
"Indeed you do. It was your strong desire for justice that helped us recognize you." Senex began pacing the dilapidated room. "Two men have been working in parallel to each other in your respective existences. There is rumor amongst the wise that there is something guiding them. There has been much debate about bringing you back into the light."
"Debate? The Wise? Is there some sort of council of good or something?"
"Well, there is a council. But it is in representation of more than just good."
I cocked my head and gave a confused gaze.
"There is a heavy balance of three mental elements in the universe. Justice, Injustice, and Indifference. When one threatens the balance we must decide the path to take to maintain equilibrium."
"I see. So if too much evil is in the air then justice must be enforced. But if there is too much justice... then-"
"Yes," he informed, "then we must give way to injustice. If the balance is tipped mayhem will ensue."
"What good is indifference then?"
Smiling, he responded, "Sometimes, as the world does battle with itself, it is best to simply do nothing. One can't fix everything."
"So I am needed to exact justice. I understand now Senex."
"Good. Let us resume. Melmon, if you please."
The cat galloped back into the room dragging an oblong satchel behind him.
"Take this Akarune," Senex reached down to lift the satchel. "This is your weapon. Hold it strong. Hold it fierce."
"I shall." I took the item from him and stood firm as I slid a mighty sword from it's holster. "I remember now, how it feels; to wield a power of life."
"Yes. But always use caution in your travels. Keep the balance secure. Remember the three elements. We will see you again once we know more. There is a tree between three boulders. Lift the knob and you will find your old residence. Let the sword guide you."  They leave.
"Thank you." I say silently as I stare at what I hold.

As I traveled back to where I would lay to rest I pondered endlessly of the on goings. Questions buzzing but with no proper form. There was something bothering me that I just could not place. Nonetheless there were far more pressing items to investigate. I continued onward following the influence of my mystical sword. However, the entire way I could not shake the feeling I was being stalked.
