Some times things get lost in history. People lose treasure and important things and can never find them ever again. It isn't special or strange when it happens... people are just really careless sometimes.
( Urashima laughs a bit at that because it really is funny how bad people lose things all the time, )
I don't really remember when or even how it happened but I got lost with my brother. That wasn't really normal. We didn't end up in the ocean or forgotten in someone's storage; we ended up in a different place. I don't remember a whole lot because there isn't really a lot to remember... but it was a dark place between space and time. You can't tell even if you're there for an hour or centuries because there isn't any time in that place either... except there's also all the time in the world. ( He's really no good at explaining kebiishi void one part because it's vague as hell but also because it's one part straight unexplainable and another part not a good memory, even as vague as those memories are. ) For the most part, it was just me and my big brother! But sometimes we'd sense something else in there.. something really empty. Even emptier than the place we were in.
Anyway, I was rescued from that place. I didn't know it... but that empty thing we sensed were other spirits called, "kebiishi." Uhm... I'll talk more about them in a little bit but after I was rescued, I was summoned by our master to fight in his army and help with his mission.
... And that's how I started traveling back in time. Back home, there's an army of spirits that want to change the past. We call them the "Retrorgrading Army" and they're.... really sad. ( Says Urashima who is kind enough to feel pity even for his enemy, ) They're sword spirits like me but they're so sad and angry they've fallen into despair. They lost all of their humanity and all of their reason and all they want to do is fix the past because they think it's wrong. They try to save people who shouldn't be saved and kill people who shouldn't be killed... but they can't do that. So me and my friends fight to stop them and even after they're destroyed... they keep coming back and trying again. They're really mad. ( In the insane sense, that is. ) And anyone can become one of those spirits.
It's really hard for some of my friends, you know? Sometimes we end up in a place where they have to watch their loved ones die again. We go back to those exact moments where we can change everything if we really want to. We can save someone we love or get revenge against someone who wronged us... and it's really painful to see. ( "to see" because Urashima himself is blessed and has had a lucky life. ) And that's when three things can happen.
( Not that Break can see but Urashima holds up a finger for each point as he makes it, )
You can fall into despair and become a corrupt spirit. ( Two, ) You can forget all of the pain and become kebishii- emotionless and detached from all humanity. ( And three, ) Or you can keep fighting.
But once you change history, you become the first one. Your soul inevitably becomes twisted and rotten. If you're lucky, a friend will notice in time and destroy you because it's better to die than to become corrupt and keep fighting for something you can't control anymore.
That's why... even when you said you wouldn't change the past, I couldn't just trust you when you've already done it before. I don't know you... or your spirit well enough. I have to think, "History will repeat."
