As the man looked at the spear in shock he turned to Cú Chulainn and murmured, "She didn't teach me that."

Once again, the spear was used and once again, it took a life. And so Connla died by his own father's hand's.

Twice was Gae Bolg called and twice it claimed the life of Cú Chulainn's loved ones.

His misfortune seemed never ending as Ulster was again invaded and Cú Chulainn was forced to break his many vows that he made over the years to defend it. Suffering curse after curse as the gods exacted their punishments for those broken vows, he suffered through thousands of traps, horrible injuries and yet still continued fighting furiously for his homeland. Eventually being impaled by his own spear the Shield of Ulster refused to die laying down and struggled to his feet with a smile on his face as he passed on to the afterlife.

Unfortunately not even death would be the end of this hero's misfortune, summoned for a war he had no interest in other than fighting strong opponents. He was denied this one wish as he watched his master get killed and replaced by a dishonorable coward, forced to only watch as these incredible fighters pitted themselves against each other.

Still despite of all this, Cú Chulainn never regretted his lot in life, knowing that a hero shouldn't need to rely on luck to excel and that he became one with his own power. Even if Gae Bolg, the symbol of his legend, the symbol of his heroism was forever stained with the blood of his loved ones.

Indeed despite his misfortune, Cú Chulainn bore it all with a smile, just as any true hero should. Believing that one day his luck would change and the symbol of his pride, the symbol of his legend, Gae Bolg, would be remembered fondly with a smile and not with sadness. That it would break the cruel fate surrounding it and would be used to protect loved ones instead of reaping them.

It would just be a shame that he would not be the one to do so, that he would not live to see this future unfold but even still he believed in it. But now it was time to pass the torch on to the next generation, after all no hero lives forever.

May Gae Bolg serve its next wielder better then it served me, become strong and fight well Issei Hyoudou for you now carry with you the hope and pride of Cú Chulainn.

Issei woke in a cold sweat as he jumped out of his bed and fell to the floor in a panic, groaning the teen picked himself up from the ground before glancing at the Class cards spread out across his nightstand. Picking up the Lancer card, he stared at it before calling out Gae Bolg and just examined the blood red lance with a cautious look on his face.

"What was that?" he muttered, thinking about the near lifelike dream he had just woken up from with a start.

Was that Cú Chulainn's memories? Was that would happen to him if he continued down his path to become stronger? No he couldn't, he wouldn't hurt those he cared for like that! Would he? As a worried panic began to fill his mind, the teen suddenly felt a small pressure on his shoulder.

Spinning around with Gae Bolg at the ready, he found no one there except his own reflection in the mirror staring back at him. As he looked into the mirror, Issei was shocked as he saw the panicked expression on his face. However, the expression quickly died as he felt an oddly calming pressure coming from Gae Bolg, allowing his thoughts to slowly return to normal.

"That's right I already decided didn't I? I would become strong to protect my family and my friends, no matter what fate throws at me I will get stronger. There is no way I would ever hurt them like that is there," he laughed as he put the memories of the dream to the back of his mind.

As he dismissed Gae Bolg, Issei felt the pressure return on his shoulder and as he looked back up to the mirror he had to do a double take. It might have been a trick of the eye, nothing more than his imagination but for a brief moment he could have sworn he saw a familiar blue clad man nodding his head approvingly as he placed a hand on Issei's shoulder before disappearing.

Issei wasn't sure how long he just stood completely still and stared there at his mirror, his brain struggling to comprehend what it just saw. It wasn't until his alarm clock starting beeping that the teen woke from his trance and quickly glanced at the time, the colour draining from his face as he did so.

"Not again!" he cried in distress as the teen rushed to get changed and grab his cards before bolting out the door, once again nearly knocking his dad over in the process.

However, in his mad rush to get ready for school Issei didn't notice what appeared to be a large black crow that had been observing him outside his window since he woke up. Its eyes displaying an unnatural intelligence for a simple animal and if anything, it looked surprised at the sight of Gae Bolg. As Issei rushed towards school, the crow watched him go before flying after him, making sure to keep the teen in sight.

The crow just watched as the teen was scolded by a devil for being late before he went about the rest of his day, oblivious to the new observer he had.

Issei sighed as walked into his class and tried to ignore the numerous glares sent to him by the girls already in the classroom, and curiously twin death stares sent by the 'Perverted Duo.' Sighing and deciding to just deal with it later the teen made his way over to his desk, only to be ambushed before he could reach it.

"Issei Hyoudou you bastard!" shouted an angry voice as the teen in question side stepped a tackling Matsuda.

"Matsuda-san? What are you doing?" frowned Issei in confusion.

"Getting pay back!" replied the pervert.

"For what?" asked the teen.

"You know what you did Hyoudou!" growled Motohama as he rushed over to his friend's side and helped him up off the ground.

Issei just continued to stare at them in confusion as he thought back to the past couple of days, trying to remember if he did anything to offend them. However, he couldn't think of anything, in fact he was the only one in the class who gave them any sort of respect, actually willing to hold up a conversation with the duo rather than beating them up or simply ignoring them.

"Umm…Motohama-san I'm sorry for…whatever I did to insult the two of you, it wasn't my intention but can you at least tell me what I did," he replied, diplomatically.

"YOU GOT A GIRLFRIEND BEFORE US!" they both shrieked, causing Issei to blink in confusion.

"Girlfriend? What are you talking about?" he repeated.

"Don't play dumb with us Hyoudou, we saw you last Friday talking to that pretty girl outside the school gate. You even got her to ask YOU out! How did you do it damn it!" cried Matsuda as anime tears began pouring down his face.

'Last Friday? So they saw me with Raynare did they? Well that shouldn't be a problem, they're idiots anyway,' he thought as his eyes widened in recognition before the teen shrugged.

"She's not my girlfriend. That date was a one-time thing only, turns out we just weren't very compatible with each other. Still that just means she is free for you two now right? Just let me know if you see her and I'll hook you up," smiled Issei as the two pervert's eyes lit up in happiness.
