The open blue sky provided the people of the Guardian nation with a beautiful day. There wasn't a sign of a cloud in the sky and the signs of demons in the area were decreasing day by day. Since the light showered the ground with its beautiful and elegant radiance that spread throughout the area it blessed with its warmth, no demon has yet since shown its face in the Guardian capital area. Toward one of the garrisons peaking over the city outward, a girl can be seen sightseeing on one of the balconies that peered high up into the sky several stories. The beautiful pink haired girl dressed in mostly red and black leaned on the wooden railing as she looked out at the city below her. Standing beside her was a mysterious woman dressed mostly in black with most of her appearance concealed and toward her left was her bestfriend she knew since the academy. They once were rivals, but ever since they really got to know each other and see eye for eye they've become true friends. Meira gave off a deep sigh making it known that she looked bored. There wasn't really much to do and all she could do at the moment was sight-see over the magnificent Guardian capital known as Ereis Eisan. The city and the castle of the naton were divided by a Dragonmire Mountain and the only way to reach the castle was either to take the treacherous mountain-path or take one of the trolleys that lifted you skyward over the city toward the top of the mountain then downward toward the recreation area where you would have to register before given admittance to the castle. The woman that continued just to stare at the sky didn't say a word and Ranathia was busy studying one of her tomes she bought from one of the magic shops in the city. Airships continued to soar over the gigantic Guardian capital as Meira continued to peer over the city watching the man sights she could perceive. When she was about to enter the garrison, a soldier approached her with a request that the king asked her to the castle. Meira looked at Ranathia who just asked her right after the soldier talked to her what he wanted where she said toward her in a plain voice, "Oh, it's just that King Razhard wants to see me." Meira said with a deep sight not understanding why the king wouldn't get it through his head that she just didn't particular find him a person that she was interested in. At best, he was a great friend to her, but she couldn't ever love someone that she just couldn't get herself to like in the way he wanted. That's what she thought anyway as she left the balcony then took the stairs down toward the bottom of the city where a royal airship awaited her to board it. Like usual, the mysterious woman followed the two. Meira wanted to know why this person was stalking them and who she was, but she knew she'd just start talking nonsense and that it would be just a waste of time. She took her seat toward the front of the airship and then peaked out the window as the attendant closed the door and announced that it was leaving toward the castle. "I wonder what he wants now?" Meira said as she watched the airship pass over the city while she could enjoy the views from above. It has been awhile since she had taken a ride on an airship. Ever since Windgrace when she first graduated anyway. She would have used her mount to reach the castle, but the king was gracious enough to provide them with transport. One of the soldiers approached the mysterious woman and asked demanding an answer, "Hey, what do you think you're doing?" "What's it look like I'm doing? I'm going to accompany these two birds. Now go away." She said irritated as she turned her face away and again put it back into the mysterious tome she was reading from. The woman didn't show any signs of responding where the soldier reached out to grab her hand causing the woman placed her hand on her blade. Meira immediately interrupted and told him that she was a guest and was a part of their unit. The soldier nodded and let them carry on with what they were doing. It wasn't long before the ship reached its destination where it touched down and Meira and the others departed for the ship and looked at the scenic view the castle had to offer. It was a view that astounded the mysterious woman who just closely examined the area before she saw the two walking down the white stone walkway toward the castle that stretched into the sky. When they started to approach the entrance they heard someone causing a ruckus and looked like there was a problem. Meira approached the situation to see what was going on at the entrance and she was very surprised by her view. It looked like two individuals were having a disagreement, but she wasn't close enough to hear what it was about.

Meira overheard some of the words in the argument where her mood finally changed. She didn't look to pleased when she approached the scene along with the two other people that were accompanying her. Ranathia also had a frown on her face, but the other mysterious woman didn't look like she cared at all. The words she heard when she approached the soldier that was arguing with Nathan were "whore" and the second was "virgin". Both words annoyed her when she thought about them thoroughly. She stopped a few feet away from the two where she went, "Ahem..." Tapping her foot down on the ground in disgust and then crossing her arms with a cold stare in her eyes letting everyone around know that she was upset. Instead of approaching the soldier first, she turned her attention directly toward Nathan where she responded as the soldier took a bow then apologized to her for what he had said when he realized who her commanding officer was, "As much as I appreciate you standing up for my honor, Nathan. I'm pretty sure you could have just stayed quiet and found me instead of instigate a confrontation over here." She bent down with her hands on her hips with the same cold stare in her eyes where she then continued once again, "How do you know I'm a virgin? I'm certainly not a whore, but what gives you the right to speak for my modesty? You not only misrepresented Windgrace when doing that, but you also are guilty of insubordination." She paused for a moment as she pulled herself away from Nathan again returning to her normal stance as she paced about him where she continued on, "I'm not saying I don't appreciate what you did; moreover, the fact you need to know when to just let things go and bury the hatchet sometimes too." "Forgive me, Lady Meira. I had no idea you were his commanding officer. I sincerely apologize for my insults and I will accept any punishment you deem fit for someone like me." The first soldier said scared as the second one was so frightened that he couldn't even open his mouth. "That will be unnecessary. You are not one of my soldiers so I cannot punish you though I will speak about your behavior toward the King himself." She boldly stated as the soldier gave off an oh man kind of gesture keeping his mouth shut while Meira turned her attention toward Nathan. "With that all aside, we'll go ahead and pass." Meira explained toward the guards as they stepped aside and allowed the people to enter. The woman who followed Meira took a brief glance at Nathan then looked away quickly with a silent sigh saying quietly, "Why would a divine race want to impersonate... No... nevermind..." She shook her head softly becoming silent once again. Ranathia turned her eyes toward Meira as she saw the woman that followed them look toward Nathan asking her as they passed through the archway large downs that opened for them as they step inside the large structure. "Has she been always following us?" "Yeah, but anyway..." Meira answered as she turned her attention toward Nathan. She looked at him then winked toward him, "Been awhile hasn't it? Already made it up to second in command of my unit, huh?" She praised him before she continued with what she said, "I'm surprised to find another person from the Windgracian Academy here like myself. You should remember me since I am of the Rystaliuskal family line and was one of the nobles attending the academy. The status was rather irritating though. Must have sucked for you how they treated you in the academy giving you a room separate from my own. I sometimes think the nobles here are complete idiots." Meira said as Ranathia and the woman said nothing as they walked down the hallway in the castle.

A lady in a red robe walked behind Meria and Nathan, and interrupted, "I would believe it is Rystaliuskal, would that be correct Meria. Sorry for interrupting but I would just like to introduce myself. I am Aira Evene of Xi. You probably haven't heard of Xi, it is a small island of nothing but trade and herbs." Aira gave Nathan a strange look, and then quickly looked away. "I am acting as a medical adviser to the king and his army. I don't know much about swords and shields, but I am fine alchemist and doctor. The herbs of Xi have served me well, and I plan to use them to give Guardia exactly what it deserves. "she paused and continued, "Victory over their enemies." she said, a bit boastfully. Aira shifted her eyes from person to person, and then quickly left each one in turn moving to the next.

Aira felt her skin crawl every time the word "holy" was used, but she tried to hide it the best she could, which was really good. "What a lovely story Meira, and I am sorry for mispronouncing your name. It is probably my islander accent." she said smiling warmly. "And nice to meet you too Rana. I am sorry for not noticing you. Work has been busy, I been having to keep on my alchemy lab, and try to find ways to improve the efficiency of the Guardian's medicine and it has been a challenge. My I be bold enough to ask what brings you here?" she asked. Aira noticed how Nathan was starting to feel uncomfortable, "Nathan, is it, if you need to take your mind off things, I could show you around my basic alchemy lab, presuming you would like and your commanding officers don't mind. It can be quite a sight for people who haven't seen one before. I need to poke my head in there anyways pretty soon, and I can always enjoy some company."

Wonderful' Aira replied, as she walked towards her alchemy lab. She reached into her robes and grabbed a key and unlocked her lab and relocked it from the inside behind them. Sorry for having to lock the door, I just can't have people stumbling in and knocking something over or something. It is quite easy to mistake one room for another in a castle this big." she said. The room was covered in shelves and shelves of different veils which held many different multicolored liquids. Each one having a small label saying something to the like of "Pt56, or Ps103." and many different things. In the center of a room, there was a large cauldron with a small metallic box with fire wood in it. Aira shuffled over to a desk and started to sort some of the papers that were thrown about it. "So, how do you feel about the nobles of Guardia's mainlands."

Oh, and where are my manners. Would you like something to drink? Aira asked, as she poured him a cup of tea and offered it to him. "My I just warn you, corrupt runs deep in Guardia, but lucky, King Razhard is working on it." she said, smiling. "Though, may I ask, how much do you know about mana and Xi? And do you mind if I waste a bit more of your time with a little story. Xi isn't in the best of shapes right now, and Guardia's hands are full with other conflicts, which is way I am here to help end those conflicts so Xi can be restored to its former glory." she said.

I think you may be mistaking ellan for pure mana. It is a common mistake, there is really one difference and that is pure mana doesn't use esir or ragna like other magics. Many people are either indifferent or even hateful towards it. I think you might recognize more it as archant, which is magic using mana. However, to Xi, mana is much more important. XI grows lots of manawyn which is a common ingredient used to create pure mana.. Manawyn was once a very important export of Xi and mana has been long apart of our tradition. "However, recently Archant has been banned in Xi. It has become illegal to grow or sell manawyn hurting our economy and putting many of the lower class Xians out of work. Many of the noble families brushed this off so the revolts are being put down, mostly because the nobles get all of their money from trade. It is because of the greedy Guardia nobles. You see, Xi is controlled by the Guardia King and the greedy nobles of Guardia used this to push for an Archant ban. Guarida didn't buy any manawyn, so by banning it, they both hurt are pride and our economy without even affecting Guardia." she paused, and continued, " I am sorry for the rant, but I just needed to let someone know how I been feeling." "And you haven't drank any of your tea yet. Please, drink up. I might get offend if you don't." she continued.

A wave of enchantment immediately flowed though Nathan as he drunk the tea. "Now, don't worry." Aira said, knowing that he would feel it. "You see, there is a possible traitor running around this class, and I simply slipped you a truth potion. I just need to know if your a hiding anything from me. You can say quite, but your silence might just prove your guiltiness, so I repeat, are you trying to hide anything." she said, with a sly smile. She knew that he probably wasn't a traitor, but knew that everyone was hiding something and the more she knew the better.

Aira laughed in her head, thinking "I have never heard of someone who was "pretty sure" they wasn't a traitor, but I should keep a straight face, I shouldn't reveal my own intentions yet." Aira straighten up, "So, Nathan, you are probably not the "traitor", then tell me, who exactly are you." she said out loud and then went back to her thoughts, "So this boy does hold some secrets, I should use the guise of protecting the throne to dig up some more dirt on him. He was with Meira, so he must be someone of importance, having something on the "holy knights" blood could serve the cult well, and Nathan was the weakest link. I also did hear something about Nathan muttered from one of those girls."

By the sounds of it, you are dragonite, I am only guessing but your word choice is quite clear. But in Xi you should know that dragonites are respected. It is said that dragonites gained there incredible power though the use of mana, which my people holds dear. Persecution of dragons is silly, people simply fear what is beyond them. If you seek to run from the truth, I may give the antidote and we may go separate ways, but otherwise, you do keep good company. And there is a legend on the island that dragonites can be good luck. he said, smiling, and pulling out a veil of liquid.

Now that those two are gone, why do we go someplace we can talk? The woman said when she saw both Aira and Nathan were out of sight. What she was about to talk about had nothing to do with those two. Well, the most important segments didn't anyway. Meira and Ranathia both were hesitant about following the woman where Meira asked her once again the same question Ranathia did, but this time only inquired for her name, "I feel strange not knowing a person by their name. At least allow us both the liberty of knowing your name. I know it's a lot to ask for, but I'm sure it's something little compared what so much you have to acknowledge." "Siia." The woman paused for a moment as she pulled down her hood to reveal her face toward the two girls. She then started to walk in the direction of a room which she looked like she wanted to visit. The two followed her without question where she added to what she said, "My name is Siianthaliae Vanb'Rianthei. Back in elder times I went by various nicknames though the one mortals know me by the most is Thali Aventhosai." She paused for a moment as Meira and Ranathia were both surprised to see what this woman actually looked like. Neither of them imagined such a cold approaching beautiful raven haired woman underneath that cloak. Though near some of the ends of hair were shards of a silvery glistening shine on her hair which was awkward. Neither have met anyone who had two different hair colorings even if it was hard to visualize. She lead the two into a room asking the guard to make sure no one interrupted their conversation where he just nodded at the two and allowed them to enter. The room had an array of chairs where Siia walked over and took a seat in one of them. She pulled her hood back over head when she took a seat then asked the other two to take a seat as well. Ranathia and Meira both took a seat in the two chairs that were arrayed across from the one that Siia was sitting in.She then looked at the two having a few questions to ask before she was going to begin what she was about to say, "Now that it is just the three of us, I have a few questions to ask upon you two Elian descendant youths before I begin with what I have to tell you." Both girls answered with, "Okay." They weren't sure what Siia had to say, but if she just started talking then it was always something very important. They noticed that she always talked with it was completely relevant. They both were going to listen to everything she had to say and answer the questions she had for them if they could.

One of the soldiers saw Nathan wandering the castle where he approached and informed that Meira and Ranathia accompanied a mysterious woman toward one of the guest rooms. He told him to follow him and he'd regroup him with the girls. "You probably know by now that six continents make up the world of Gaea, but you don't know is all those continents at time were part of an enormous landmass called Elia. Elia was the large continent that the Avernia Empire used to rule over where Xhosa was at the helm of it all. He ruled almost the entire Elian continent meaning the entire world except a strip of land known as Ehtolia. Ehtolia is located on the southern tip of the Holyoke continent. Ehtolia is still owned by no nation. The land is protected by a sandstorm that prevents outsiders from entering it. Anyway, Ehtolia is where the deities decided to descend upon man and aid them in the fight against the tyranny of the Harken and its ruler Xhosa. The deities temporarily took refuge in the land of Ehtolia known to many as the Blessed Promised Land. These deities gave birth to children who would later become Elian Crusaders. When it looked like the Avernian Army had defeated all of its adversaries and only the Phaedrians were the ones still with the power to put up a fight, that is when several men and women rose up and brandished ancient weapons that were crafted by the deities and give to their holy blood or children to use. There was Saint Idris Guardia who is the son of Emerlink. He wielded the Spear of Salvation known as Daesleurph. The next was Angelian Elyria Eden who founded the Kingdom of Eden. She wielded the powerful Tome of Apostles known as the Ephemeris Luminaire. She bared the holy blood of Eternia Goddess of Miracle. Then there was the Hero of Chaos Flambard Cimmeria who brandished the Shattering Horizon Halberd Catastrophia blessed by the God of Power Arcturus. He was an Arkadian who migrated from another world to Gaea like quite a few of the other Elian Crusaders. The Holy Knight of Elia known as Aurelian Zeustzius who brandished the Blade of Light otherwise known as the famous Holy Sword Meleitling. Aurelian's holy blood was that of the Goddess of Mortal Universe Destruction Euphoria. The sword had another form which you will learn about in time. A Dragonite Elian by the name of Mehetabel Ereseal brandished the Magic Destroying Wing Blade known as Ragnadaim. It is sometimes nicknamed the Gemini Blade. He bared the holy blood of Agnevastra Goddess of Alteration. Loshan Lumina was an Angelian who formed the Kingdom of Lumina. He wielded another powerful magic tome called Rias Provaine or the Tome of the Divine Flame. Sometimes known as the Book of the Sacred Flame. He bared the holy blood of Xaliana Goddess of Connection. Azrael of the Four Winds formed the Sacred Dragonia Dynasty who was also a Dragonite like his brother Flambard. Azrael Dragonia wielded the El Gladius Kaze or the Sword of Wind. He was the holy blood of Fujin who is the Goddess of the Wind. The next two Elian Crusaders were a pair of sisters by the name of Thali and Myra Aventhosai. Thali was the holy blood of Stellvia the Goddess of Space-Time and Myra was the holy blood of Xiashakue the Goddess of Truth. Thali brandished the Sword of the Seventh Seal Broniac also known as the Emblem of Apocalypse and her sister used the Orbs of Elan Gossamer Facula which means The Eternal Truth. Another of the ancient weapons created was the one Stralia blessed known as the Berserker Band or now known as Mistaleyn. Stralia is the Goddess of Adversity and the person who wielded that weapon was Abimelech Levantaike who later formed the United Emirates of Avarona. He was a famous Nekrian who looked a lot like a wolverine. The one who wielded the Scepter of Elysia Elaire Vastral was a man by the name of Galdaris Danasta. His holy blood was Evangelina the Goddess of Mortal Universe Creation. He was the opposite of Aurelian. The two holy weapons Meleitling and Elaire Vastral were considered to be two of the most powerful only second to the almighty Broniac. The holy blood of the God of Destiny Altair was an Arkadian man by the name of Reishin Primavalthera. He wielded the holy weapon known as Ewigeskyn otherwise known as the Spear of the Blessed Eternals. The next weapon was a rune which was extremely dangerous and only those with enough wisdom could ever control it. It was known as the Sacria Versya Tristania Vashuna wielded that chaotic weapon of destruction which was the holy blood of the God of Eternal Decay Kreosus. It is said that only Rudorians could wield the Sacria Versya and the Vashuna family were a group of Rudorians who lived in Xiria. The next of the holy blood was a man named Lucent'phelias Xanathare who wielded the Sword of Elan the famous Vale Loess who was the holy blood of Elan Goddess of Magic. Another that bared holy blood which was a famous alchemist by the name of Luciferias Atharva. He was a Mahzok and the original founder of the magic known as Atharva. He was the holy blood of the God of Wisdom Thraanphal and wielded the Scythe of Nightmares Ebona Orifice.

Atroshaniu bared the Sword of Light Langrisser while Magdalene bared the Sword of Darkness Alhazard. Atroshaniu's holy blood was Hemera whereas Magdalene's was Nyx. Dimensia the Eternal Spear of Chaos was wielded by the holy blood of the Goddess of Chaos Millicent Alutemu Siebenthal. The Primordial Sword of Avalon known as the Sword of Absolute Power Asture Promusa was wielded by Savraj Zamora. He was the holy blood of the almighty Goddess of All-Creation Sigma. It is often that sword is called the Sword of Sigma or The All Destroyer Sword. The last time the Elian Crusaders appeared was the last time that sword has ever been seen. It has other nicknames such as The All Gathering Sword of Eternal Power. Reynburne Leibrandt wielded the Sky Sword Arcadia. He was the Elian Crusader of the Goddess of the Sky Andromeda. The Sword of Quintessence Celesna was wielded by Desiserius Zarcarias who was the holy blood of the mysterious goddess Aira known as the Goddess of the Reverse World. The next was the Windwaker Bow Ichivail blessed by the Goddess of Vision Lacyndora. It was wielded by a famous elf by the name of Deusdedit Etroshalt who bared Lacyndora's holy blood. The next Elian Crusader wielded the Staff of Revelation Caledonia his name was Dhihlat Lavarose who was the holy blood of the God of Revelation. The Scepter of Death Dethmaire was wielded by the Elian Crusader Xanthus Auslander. The Sword of Inferos Einsatz was wielded the Elian Crusader Einlanzer Fallsmyeriche who was the holy blood of the God of the Infernos Agni. The Elian Crusader that wields the famous Serpentine Thunder Blade Levatein was Sergius Glasford the holy blood of Indra the Goddess of Electricity. The Elian Crusader who wielded the Aquamarine Rod of Water was a priestess girl by the name of Fiona Ingrassia. She was the holy blood of the Goddess of Aqua and surprisingly she was a Mathua. These thirty Elian Crusaders blessed with holy weapons rose up against Xhosa and used their powers granted to them to destroy Xhosa. After Xhosa's defeat, six of them formed the six most powerful nations at that time. The others formed smaller nations, become wanders or drifters or served the other rulers." Was the last of Siia's words as she took a while to pause from a long winded explanation. She didn't expect it to take her that long to explain how many Elian Crusaders existed, but they probably didn't know there were thirty of them. Not all the gods and goddesses were accounted for. Just the ones that took part in the Ehtolian Miracle. "WOW!" Meira exclaimed when she heard about how many Elian Crusaders there were. She was surprised that there was so many. If that many holy weapons existed then that means there were a lot of weapons out there unaccounted for. Meira had no idea that so many holy weapons existed on Gaea. It was absolutely amazing to think that many actually were created.

Both sides of your parents were affiliated with holy blood. It just really depends on which divine blood is stronger in your body which is what decides if you have major holy blood or not. If there is the precedence of more than 50% of one blood type of holy blood in your body then you major in that holy blood and may brandish your progenitor's holy weapon. Siia added knowing the girls would want to know how you could tell if they holy blood or not. While she gave them that explanation she shifted in her chair the position her body was sitting then peered over by large white door colored mostly in white. A large red and golden embroidery carpet lead straight for the door and the chairs were craftsmanship work as you could see all the beautiful designs on the would that was well carved. She knew someone was at the door so that is when she started to go quiet. Meira and Ranathia both asked why she had just stopped talking. She hadn't really told them everything to make it more clear of what they heard from her. All they knew about were there were thirty Elian Crusaders which carried holy weapons. Other than that aside from the ones that represented nations later in their lives, they knew little about these people. There were familiar names they heard from the woman such as Aurelian, Lucent, Reishin, Magdalene, and lasty Atroshaniu. They remember Erialyss telling them about the Phaedrian Elians Magdalene and Atroshaniu, but Erialyss didn't know exactly how they were born. She suggests a logical reason that they were born after the Phaedrians used their knowledge of Holy Magic while maintaining a heavy defense at Ehtolia which eventually they heard their calls and started to descend onto the planet known as Gaea. She says that she was told that her parents were born from two divine entities.She believes the dishonorable entity known as Nyx mated with Hemera at Hemera's suggestion which gave birth to her mother and father. Her mother was mainly Nyx holy blood whereas her father was blessed by Hemera. Even though they believed what Erialyss said, everything she has said about her parents is completely unsupported, but it provides for a truth to their birth which is a distinct possibility. Both girls were still heavily wrapped in thoughts about what they heard from Lady Siia. They were even more curious how she knew all this about the Elian Crusaders moreover how she knew about what looked like every holy weapon in existence. The woman was very mysterious where she covered most of her entire appearance with the black cloak she wore over her entire body. The clothes underneath her body they saw faintly didn't look like clothes of any civilization so far that had established itself on Gaea. They were shiny and made from an usual fabric. This just made the two more curious about who Siia really was. They didn't know her age, origin and in fact they knew hardly anything about this woman. One thing that really bothered Ranathia which she tried to hide was the fact when she saw what that woman looked like. She resembled her so closely and she wanted to know why that was? Thoughts revolved around in her mind as she closely examined the woman who still was at silence not talking at all again. Why does this woman look like me? Other than an age difference, she looks really no different than me. That hair tone looks exactly like mine and those light blue eyes she has... This just feels so strange and makes me wonder if I have any relation at all to this woman. I mean, unlike most people I never knew anything about my parents. I know I had two brothers and a sister who was murdered, but even if they weren't brothers or sister by blood I still considered them my brothers and sister. I also know that Ranathia isn't my actual name. My mother and father gave me a name, but I don't remember what it was. In fact, I don't remember either of them or their faces. This just doesn't make any sense at all... Ranathia thought as a frustrated look overtook her face where Meira asked if she was okay. She just nodded at Meira trying to retain her composure. "Ma'am?" A voice called out as the white door off to the side of the girl's opened where a guard cladded in black and white armored waltz in. He looked over Siia's direction and apologized for his interruption. She shook her head then just asked him, "What is it? There is no reason to feel uneasy around me. Just tell me what is on your mind." Siia said as she turned her attention toward the guard. She was upset at all by the guard's sudden interruption. No one was talking anyway and she didn't want to tell these girls more with people in the area which she didn't hardly know about. She closed her eyes for a moment and sensed the aura in the region and noticed the Dragonite child had come back. "So the hopeless one is back?" Pausing temporarily she lowered her voice a bit, "That Dragonite is sometimes an eyesore." She questioned as she had just sensed Nathan's aura in the air. The guard didn't understand what she meant by hopeless one or Dragonite thinking that it was just a joke, but the young boy that was with them earlier was back if that's what she meant. "Also the King is ready for his audience with you." The soldier added as he kept the door cracked. He didn't want to impose on the woman who he thought looked very scary. Just her aura sent chills down his spine. He didn't think something so vicious looking would be completely harmless, but that didn't stop him from keeping his awareness up just in case it was a trick. "I suppose we shall get going then." Siia announced as she stood up from her chair and made her way toward the door. She stopped for a moment in place as Meira and Ranathia talked to each other collecting her thoughts from before the time she came into the room. Cautiously thinking toward herself, that woman we met earlier cannot be trusted. I'll remain a sentinel toward these girls and as long as I wield Broniac I'll always be able to protect them. Those two girls have the potential to destroy Avernus once and for all. Both are opposites that have become friends which in turn has strengthen their bonds and the holy blood that flows through their veins. I guess the New Children as the revelation revealed will lead the new era. I do know that this will be the final time my brother interferes with the course this world is going down. His influence over the world has been contagious and its his fault that Avernus is here in the first place. I have to remember to keep my guard up. He could be anywhere posing as anyone in this world. Even a mere peon could be my brother. "Lady Siia, are you all right?" Meira and Ranathia asked as they saw the woman looked ill a moment ago, but she nodded explaining that she was fine and she was just deep in thought. She appreciated the two girls concern where she ordered the guard to open the door so they could step back into the hallway. When they reentered the hallway, various picture frames and ornaments adorned the hallway in elegant beauty. The roses that hanged toward the part of the wall the torches came out of kissed the wall caressing the side of the wall laying in silence unwavering. The pictures that hung on the wall told a lot about the history of the Guardia nation. Some were pictures of the inside of the castle, some were of a another castle, others were of the town or the royal family that was part of the Guardia lineage. When the three were back in he hallway they noticed a brunette haired boy approaching their direction who was dressed in armor. They knew it was Nathan where Meira and Ranathia questioned toward him, "What's wrong, Nathan? What is the rush in finding us? Didn't you enjoy your little tour?"

Nathan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Meira and Ranathia unharmed "oh thank god you two are okay. Listen, I know this might sound odd, but did that strange women do anything to you? Like maybe drug you?" Meira was confused by the question Nathan just asked her and Ranathia didn't know what to think about it other than perhaps Nathan had been overwhelmed by taking a look at her lab and it was going to his head. Meira began by asking Nathan when she was completely confused, "Nathan, what do you mean by that?" She paused for a moment thinking about the drugging part which was even harder to understand why he would ask such a question where Ranathia answered for her, "No, that woman we just met didn't do anything to us. If she did, the grumpy woman over there." She paused temporarily taking her finger and pointing in briefly at Siia, "Would have known by now. I don't know what has gotten into you, but it looks like you've been under quite a spell of things." "We're fine, Nathan." Meira added when Ranathia went silent. She looked over toward Siia, but she didn't say anything. Though her finger was underneath her chin which gave the impression she was thinking about something. Nathan continued, "I only ask because that women who showed me her lab did that to me and I wasn't sure if there was some sort of plot to split us up before attacking. She claims she's here to find some kind of traitor, but I don't buy that. She made it quite clear that she has no love for Guardia, and in fact might even benefit from it's fall. So it wouldn't surprise me if she was really here with far more sinister goals in mind." "Take this." The woman said toward Nathan as she threw him something she pulled out of her cloak. "It's a Neutralizer I made with my divine energy. Since it's pure holy power you may want to soak yourself with this." She added as she threw him another bottle which contained some holy water in it. "That's high grade Erufin Holy Water so do not waste it. It's hard to come-by and is very rare Just sprinkle your body with it then take that Neutralizer which will purify your body of any unwanted contagions that entered your body unexpectedly. Then come find me later and tell me exactly what that woman told you. I'll let you know after the summoning."

The woman didn't say a word as she asked the guards to show them to the throne room. They passed through several hallways and flight of stairs before reaching the hallway. Meira and Ranathia were both beginning to think that going to the throne room was quite a chore in itself. Why was it so far up? Neither of them could answer that question before the guard said toward the girls, "This way please." He motioned toward them as he opened the large doors that revealed the throne room. The Guardia throne room was littered with all kinds of beauty. From glass painted windows that foretold its legacy all the way to picture frames and arrays of flowers and bouquets that rest on the wall. The three lady entered the room and walked across the blood red carpet that lead itself all the way up a few flight of stairs toward the where the king sat. Razhard started to speak toward the three as they approached the throne. He was pleased the two fine ladies could find their way easily toward his throne room and was very pleased them to meet them. He started his speech with, "Greetings ladies, I'm pleased that I can be at your acquaintance. I am King Razhard Guardia who rules over the Guardia Kingdom in my father's stead. But I'm sure you didn't come here to listen to me chat so I'll get right down to business. But first, he turned his eyes toward Eurasia who was again dressed inappropriately for the audience, "Not again, Eurasia! We have guests and you wear that distasteful wardrobe?" Poor Princess Alicia could only grimace at what Alicia was wearing where she frowned and crossed her arms, "I'll wear what I want. I don't ever remember putting you in charge of my closet." She retorted in anger as she stood there seeming to like the outfit she chose. "Besides, the design is royalty." Razhard could only facepalm himself for a second where Alicia told him it was a waste of time to argue with Eurasia. "Forgive me, I eluded myself from the point." He added as he turned his attention back toward the three ladies in front him. Before he could continue the woman stepped forward then announced herself toward Razhard. His guards wanted to react to her impudence, but he gestured to them not to interfere. "King Razhard, from this day forward you will appoint me as your new strategist." Those were the first words that escaped the woman's mouth. Razhard couldn't believe what he had just heard and was even more confused as to why she would just want to force him to make her his strategist. He didn't even know who this woman was and the fact she covered her appearance didn't help. He stuttered on his words when he spoke toward her while his two sisters weren't happy that she just rudely interrupted him like that. "I don't.... even... know who you are?" He questioned as he almost choked on his words still shocked that she would suggest such a thing. Princess Alicia stood in front of Razhard and spoke toward the woman in anger, "How dare you just be so forceful with your words? Have you no refinement!" The woman turned her head away barely letting her eyes see her ranting, "What's it to you, little girl?" Alicia was upset about being called a little girl, but she didn't waste her breath on the woman when Razhard told her just not to argue with her. Meira and Ranathia were both shocked by what they had just heard and were at a loss of words as well. "How do we not know you're an assassin hired by another nation that is trying to get close to the king? Look at the way you're dressed. Certainly someone would have come to that conclusion or the entire guard in this castle is a bunch of morons." A voice said as a man dressed completely in black armor walked right into the room. "Perhaps these two girls were sent as accomplices?" He added as he approached the king still completely dressed in heavy black armor.

Aira simply smiled at the confusion in the room, and weighing her options. She was off to the side, and just carefully watching the events unfold before her. One of her many options was to simple reveal Nathan as a dragonite right there. In the panic, either she or the dragon whelp would kill King Razhard. The cult was very accepting of flexible plans, and killing Razhard and possibly a few princesses would outweigh the other possible plans, but would be a major set back if she acted against Guardia and failed. It wouldn't be the greatest lost, and the panic would damage Guardia, but it might be to risky as off now. She would watch for her time to strike if any.

Corraidhìn stood in the shadows on a balcony overlooking King Razhard's throne room. He had just barely been able to sneak this far into his palace, causing the deaths of several guards in the process. Unfortunately, the building was like a labyrinth. He had gotten lost numerous times as he searched for the room with the documents he needed inside. He needed to know when the best time to strike Windgrace, and the only way to know for sure would be to when Windgrace would be most vulnerable, and who would no such a thing better than King Razhard himself. He had accidentally wandered into the throne room. Definitely not where he wanted to be. He would have made his way out as quickly as possible, but he saw something odd happening in the room. He spotted three women and a man, all weapons drawn toward one man dressed black as night, an evil grin on his face. Suddenly, an awful, impossible, idea swept across him. Suddenly he drew his mace, and flicked open his magic book with his other hand. He leaped down from the balcony and landed facing the man in black, ready to fight.

As Corraidhìn stood awkwardly in the crowd of people he realized what a grave error he had made. This was no mere assassination that he had dropped in on. He had hoped that the man in black was a humble assassin that he could eliminate and possibly gain the king's trust, but he was obviously more important than that. Two more people, and the guards that would most likely drag him to the chopping block had appeared since he had dropped down. Suddenly the woman across the room materialized two green liquids from her pockets. Quickly he realized that the only way he would make it out this fight without being skinned would be to choose a side. "Damn these Holyoke politics! Who are the bad guys?" he asked over top of the calling voices. "It sounds as if you're all fighting over who gets to defend the king"

I'd like to hear this man out first before I give my final verdict. Corraidhìn needed to think fast.The king was obviously no fool. What could he say that would be believable at this point? "I'm a... uhh, mercenary! Offering his proffesional service to you and your nation. I was making my way to stand before you to offer me and my men, when I saw that you might be in danger, and so I rushed in to help, thinking he was an assassin! That's when i noticed that he wasn't an assassin, but it was too late." he lied. It could be half believable, which is only as much as he needed to escape the throne room alive. "I cordially apologize for my rather rude entry. I hope you understand." He placed his mace back in his belt, and his spell book back In his pocket. He turned to Nathan. "Feeling suicidal, are we?"

Siia was a bit suspicious about the woman's actions though it wasn't enough at the moment to get her to pull out her trump card aside from her Broniac. The way that woman was acting didn't fool her at all and she knew exactly what she was up to. She couldn't really make her move until this whole problem resolved itself. She ignored Nathan's words since they were just useless conjecture that had no place. Turning her attention away from Azmaldus she knew that the true enemy was the one who was acting innocent. It would be hard to persuade the King that his own adviser was trying to defile him and she knew by the way Nathan was acting that she did something to him and her antidote she gave him was taking its precious time to take effect. That woman could try anything, but as long as she was able to see into the future, her actions would always be predictable toward her. She closed her eyes and sighed that this primitive mortal was trying to cause so much havoc. It was self-explanatory that any Xian would want to stain the Guardia throne with the blood of its last King. "I advise you think your decision over most closely, King Razhard. I'm disappointed with your response, but I will give you another chance to change your mind." Drausius concluded as he looked over toward Chloris who ordered her soldiers to let him pass allowing him to leave the throne room. Ishtora and Azmaldus as accompanied him toward the door as well. "I shall return at another point in time, Razhard. I expect a better answer next time. Your duty is toward your people not some personal trinket." He reminded Razhard as he and the other two accompanied him left the throne room. Before Azmaldus left Meira yelled out his name where he turned around and shook his head, "Fate has cast us as enemies. I expect you to honor that decision, grandchild and please remain at my daughter's side." He paused for a moment as he stepped forward toward Meira and caressed her cheek, "You look so much like your my daughter who is your mother. She would be proud of what you've become and I am too. Though we may have different resolves, my love for you Meira won't change. Take care of yourself. Perhaps you can stop me from doing something horrible in the future." Those were his final words as Drausius called his name where he obeyed and left the room with Drausius. Meira wasn't completely satisfied with what Azmaldus said toward her. There were questions she wanted answers to, but he didn't give her the chance to ask them. He just said his piece and left which irritated her. She didn't understand why her grandfather had become the man he was now. Moreover why was he working with the Pangaea Order and what did Siia exactly mean by he betrayed her? Was she in love with this man at one time? Meira thought in surprise. Razhard listened to Corraidhin's piece then gave his final verdict on what he was going to do, "I've heard of Ytrelia and if you're from that continent then there is no doubt you're a mercenary. You're probably familiar with Vermilia and Ibelia which are the two largest nations lead by mercenaries so I'm guessing you're from one of those nations." She then ordered one of his soldiers over toward him with a bag of Alura. He then threw the Alura at Corradhin where he continued, "I shall accept your services then. That is one hundred thousand Alura. I'm sure that is more than enough to compensate you for hiring your services." Luther and Chloris didn't like the King's decision, but they would accept it nonetheless. They weren't ones to argue since they could only honor his decision hoping he would not regret it one day. Chloris ordered her soldiers afterward to stand aside, but to stick at the entrances and increase guard security around the castle so nothing like this could happen again. Like Siia though, she also didn't like the Aira woman nor did Luther. Luther always tried to avoid talking to the woman since everything she said was just a bunch of nonsense he didn't want to listen to. "Member of a cult are you?" Siia questioned with suspicion lit in her eyes. "I have my doubts toward your trustworthiness and I don't trust you at all. Though I will not openly oppose you, I will give you firm warning. If you do anything that I should deem impractical you will die right where you stand. So I will advise you to cease what ever you are up to even if it is what I suspect which is to arouse the hatred in a certain individual's heart to erupt in merciless massacre." She threatened as she formed an empty magic circle on her hand with no symbols on it. "I've studied your kind and you use Mana on Xi. But I know an art that surpasses even Mana. You could not comprehend how powerful my magic is nor would you understand this art I know that usurps all other forms of magic. It isn't Holy Magic either."

Aira smiled inwardly, despite Siia's and Nathan's threats, they couldn't touch her. To the king, she is a respectable adviser and a "proud" member of one of his kingdoms. If either of them attacked, or even killed her, they would face the kingdom's wrath and she would be protected. While she can't use her magic in the king's presents, if worst came to worst, she would be able to use her magics and protect herself against the fools, and she would be able to use her potions and poisons without qualms. "King Razhard, you should settle your dispute with these others kingdoms later as both a dragon and a witch is at your door. That boy there is a dragonite, and I suspect him to be a spy of the Dragonia nation. And that strange figure is a witch and a slanderer, she claims me to be not loyal and that I am some kind of cultist in my own head! She is using a magic that doesn't even use esir which is forbidden in this fine kingdom. You know even in the troubled times of Xi, we, the nobles of Xi, will stand strong with our king! Now, please king, arrest these traitors and witches! I doubt those girls with those two are any more innocent of treason!" she shouted. She acted like she had no clue what Psygonics was, but the cult had informed of this magic. She knew it was powerful and was unaffected by cursed magic, but if the hag would kill her now after this claim, she would only confirm that group was untrustworthy and evil, and she would make her final moments count.

Yes my liege said Corraidhin as he left for the door. Razhard's orders were quite confusing to him. He led the troops through the castle, muttering as he planned his course of action. "Don't kill the sexy ones, do kill the creepy-bitchy ones and their not so creepy husbands, and the halfbreed, unless you can tell them that they don't need to die, which is the most unlikely situation for the halfbreed, and bring the holy weapons once you've killed the not-sexy ones and kidnapped the sexy ones." They emerged from the palace and into the bustling streets of Windgrace. "Right, so if I was a creepy mage where would i go?" Suddenly, a bridge down the street cracked in two. "That's where" he said, and he led the soldiers toward the bridge. He got there just in time to see his prey running through the crowd on the other side. "Damn! No use following them this way." They ran along the side of the canal looking for another bridge. At long last they found one and made their way across it.

Corraidhin led the soldiers toward where the fugitives had stopped in front of a group of Dragon Knights. He had been hoping for a way to surround them. "Like rats drawn to cheese they have wandered into a trap" he said. But he had spoke too soon. Suddenly a brilliant pegasus emerged before Meira, and she and the whelp mounted quickly. Then one of the Dragon Knights dressed in very revealing armor met them on the ground. They exchanged words he could not hear, and then Meira drew her sword. She delivered a speech with great confidence and persuasion, and the Pegasus Knights who had appeared and the Dragon Knights were with her. The creepy people with them ascended their mounts, and before him stood a battalion of Horsemen sitting upon great beasts. He quickly glanced over one of the buildings on the side of the street, and in the doorway he saw a most curious thing. He saw four people staring directly at him. Then he recognized them. They were regia, whom he had rounded up from the academy in Ytrellia, led by one of his good friends, Amulius Karna. Amulius Karna: What are they doing here? he thought to himself. They must have taken his advice and fled for Ereis Eisan. A devilish smirk spread across Corraidhin's face. He pulled a cigar out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it up from a flame at the end of his thumb. He took a puff and then took it out of his mouth. "Forgot how to fight fair have we, princess?" called Corraidhin to the princess. "Just call in daddy's friends to help when things might be looking tough, eh? Too bad for me most of my friends are dead, or I'd call them in to give you a run for your money." He looked down at his cigar. "Lucky for me I've still got a trick or two up my sleeve" he said as the four people emerged from their hiding spot. Corraidhin threw his cigar to the ground and took his spell book out of his pocket. "Melloah!" He recited a spell and stepped on the lit cigar. Suddenly, flames began to circle around him like bees around a hive. "Come on then cutie-pie!"

Aira frowned at this turn of events. This is going to interfere with there plans, with this new man's ambitions, he would want to control all of Holyote and maybe even Gaia, causing the balance of power to be a non issue and the cult could not have this. She would have to abort her mission anyways, she knew working this closely with a man who uses evil magics would be to risky to herself and the cult. She needed to attack quickly while the man wasn't fully in control. As she worked her magics, she remarked, "I am sorry, but I know how evil maniacs like you want, I know because I work for some, and I am sorry, I can't let you have even this single nation, much less all of Holyote or Gaia, my superiors wouldn't allow it." and when she finished, she was already gone. She sent a quick surge of cursed magic though the air to disturb the connection between the king and whatever was possessing him, she had converted the potion she gave the king into a deadly contact poison and caused it to explode, and she dived out the window and vanished without even looking back at what happened. Fenrir just snarled some more and said, "No, I don't need your pity, I just wish you would leave me alone." When Fenrir realized the inn was burning, he casually walked out.

One of the soldiers looked back at Armand and asked if they should pursue. Armand just shook his head and put his bow back on his back. He felt something dark when he took a glance back at the castle and noticed dark clouds were forming around it. He decided to let Corraidhin and the rest of the guard deal with the situation and made his way back toward the castle. The other house members that were approaching immediately head back to the castle once they noticed the same thing that Armand did. They didn't even take the time to evaluate the situation. They had to hurry back, because their King might be in trouble. One of Armand's soldiers asked if they should pursue where he coldly answered with a fierce look on face after feeling that nasty aura in the air, "No. Let that man deal with them. I have no interest of getting mixed up with the Order's Mage Knights so we'll just pull back to the castle and see what is going on there." He said as the soldier acknowledged him and made his way back to the castle along with Armand's other Arch Knights. The pegasus and dragon knights that divided from the group were still engaged into battle with the soldiers still providing time for the others to escape while they lay down their lives. Soldiers and mounted troops fell one by one as they showered the ground in blood as the common people tried to find shelter from the massacre outside. Azmaldus redirected his mount back in the direction of the redezvous once he saw the boy that was riding with Meira stopped her. He saw flopping around and kicking while riding on his shoulders, but he was relieved to see she was safe now. He ordered his troops to fall back toward the Orders Mage Knights where they would make their way out of the capital. He also noticed that the other houses backed off and went straight for the castle. He thought something happened there, but he didn't have time to go see what was going on. He had to lead these people to safety as soon as possible. Directing her attention toward the man she sighed at him, "You really shouldn't just concern yourself with just one enemy. I don't know if you're too stupid or just reckless not to realize I had prepared a spell before hand. Take a look toward the sky behind you and see what your careless has done to you. I could kill you, but I'd gain nothing from doing so and I'm not about to kill an animal that can't defend itself so instead I'll do this." She said as she pointed in the sky toward her giant sword of darkness flickering with dark lightning bolts around the glyph it is situated around. When Siia saw the man had hitched a ride on Meira's pegasus where she halted at trying to use her spell at that time, she realized this was a golden opportunity. She thought a moment about the situation and if she should use it anyway knowing full well that Meira's pegasus would probably be killed. She then shook her head and decided she'd instead use it to slow that man down and possibly try to get him off that pegasus by startling it with her spell. She turned the sword of darkness that was showered by dark purple lightning bolts then closed her hand activating the spell once she aimed just enough of a safe distance so Meira's pegasus wouldn't take a hit. Right when she noticed Nathan used a gust of wind to slow the pegasus down she closed her palm and the giant sword of darkness shot forward like a lightning bolt in an inclined position. It wasn't long before it hammered the ground just a few feet away from the pegasus where it erupted in a dark fiery explosion which startled the pegasus and caused it to go up on its two feet. She wasn't trying to kill anyone, just stall them long enough for Nathan to make his way toward the group. The man hadn't been paying any attention toward her which was a fatal mistake he made and now he had to deal with a startled pegasus that stopped abruptly scared. Stalagmite shards flew everyone from the dark explosion which enveloped the area in front of the man. Luckily she fired her spell just far enough in front he could just feel the intensity of the blast. The explosion swallowed up several structures reducing them to ruin quickly where wood chunks and cement fragments laid in ruin as the structures were completely destroyed in the blast. "Hmph, second rate magic user. You're lucky to still be alive and that I was kind enough to spare you. Next time, you won't be so fortunate if you aren't aware of your surroundings. Let that be a warning and lesson to you." She said in a not impressed look as she kept her head focused toward the rear as her passenger steered her mount. It was obvious she wasn't impressed by the man's skill with magic and she was even more dissuaded with his reckless martyr nature which bored her to say the least. A mage should always be aware of their surroundings and not rush in half-cocked. It was something she taught all her students that she used to teach magic. Even if this man wasn't her student, he still needed training to be able to match her wits. "PUT ME DOWN!" Meira exclaimed as she struggled kicking and screaming in Nathan's grasp. She wanted to be put down and she was red hot at the moment after Nathan just swept her off her feet and forced her over his shoulder like a kidnapper. Meira could only lay on his shoulder since there was no way she could get free without having to resort to hurting Nathan. She kept her sword gripped tight though the fiery anger in her eyes indicated that she was really mad now. "YOU HAVE SOME NERVE GRABBING ME LIKE THAT AND TREATING ME LIKE A SACK!!! I SAID LET ME GO THIS INSTANT! IF YOU DON'T..." Meira wasn't able to finish that statement since she had just noticed that the man hijacked her pegasus which made her even boil in more anger. Her eyes seared with irritation since she didn't want him on her pegasus. She also saw Siia use a powerful dark magic to stall the person. Meanwhile back at the castle, Xhosa was agonizing in pain after what that woman had done to him. Razhard's body was being destroyed and there was nothing he could do. He was enraged by what that woman had done and when Eurasia tried to cling onto him to save him she was caught in the aftermath of it as well as it began to eat away at her body. "NO!" Alicia screamed in tears as she tried to run at the two only to have a dark figure appear right before her. The dark figure pushed the girl into the hands of another man while he approached the decaying King. He motioned his hand and extracted Xhosa's spirit from the body and forced it back into the spear. He then took his other hand grabbed the King and generated his dark aura into his body where he gripped tight with his fist and shattered the cursed energy destroying it stopping the decay process with his hand as remnants of the curse cinched his hand burning it with blood coming out of his hand which only made him grin. "Such pathetic cursed energy. Even a child could conjure such a primitive technique." He said as the darkness on his hands devoured the curse that tried to damage his body. What was left of Razhard and Eurasia's bodies hit the floor. He decided to show Alicia mercy by not devouring them and instead gave her a chance to properly bury them when she calmed down and became more rational. "In the end, you were nothing but a fool Razhard. No matter, that pathetic cult is nothing more than a pebble in the road. I will kick it aside soon enough. For now, I must formulate a new strategy." "LET ME GO!" Alicia exclaimed trying to get out of the hands of the devilish man who held her tight in his grasp. The man was getting irritated trying to get her to calm down where he decided to strike her in the gut, but the other figure shook his head. He grabbed some rope coiling it around her wrists where he finally looped it between her hands preventing her from trying to squeeze her hands out of it. The girl was terrified at the sight she just saw. Both her brother and sister had been murdered. She attempted to bite her tongue only to have the man pull a limp piece of cloth in between her lips to cleave gag her with as he double-knotted it tight and tied it off behind her neck as it fastened tight in between her lips, "I can't have you dying so don't even think about biting your tongue." The man ordered her as she moaned into the cloth. "Just settle down, Princess Alicia. We are not your enemy." The man with red eyes that looked very young reminded her as he attempted to try to get her to settle down so they could talk with her. He told the other individual to plant her on the throne seat where he tied her to it to make her comfortable as she probably didn't like being squeezed that hard. He saw Alicia wanted to scream, but her cleave prevented her from doing so where muffled words came out of her mouth. "What are we going to do now, Lord Ariesu? That woman killed the only person who could wield Daeslurph." He reminded Ariesu as he grabbed one of the chairs off to the side and took a seat in it. "There isn't only one wielder of that spear, Utrunos." He revealed as he pulled up a seat as well as they waited for the girl to settle down. They knew the horror of watching her two family die was painful and she just needed to sit down and restrain herself for awhile. "What do you mean?" He questioned as he turned toward Alicia seeing that she was starting to calm down a bit. He then saw Ariesu reach over and grab the spear that lay on the ground. Unlike Razhard, the spear's curse had no effect on Ariesu. "There were two children from the family that could wield the spear. One was Razhard and the second is Princess Alicia who we managed to save before she killed herself. That foolish woman Aira overlooked an important fact making a fatal mistake. Her weak primitive magic does not phase me in the slightest either. It's mere child's play to me as I can conjure spells that are weaker and make them twice as powerful. That foolish feeble-minded ingrate for a mortal thought she could interfere with my plans? How foolish can that cult be? They are no match for me nor do they pose a threat." He answered as he kept one hand with a spell conjured where he spoke toward the girl again in a usual tone, "If you agree to not bite your tongue or scream I'll remove your gag." She nodded in compliance as he used the other hand and reaching over toward Alicia's mouth pulling the gag out of her mouth which now lay limp around her neck like a necklace. "Who are you two?" She questioned sniffling still as tears rolled down her face in sadness as she finally settled down and just sat quietly in the throne chair noticing that the man evaporated all the evil from it. She had never saw either figure before and they just appeared out of nowhere. Also, the one who held the cursed spear scared the daylights out of her. She wanted nothing to do with that spear.

Ariesu looked at the girl when she questioned who he was. He wasn't entirely sure if he should give her his actual name or continue to use his cover name he's been using to hide himself on Gaea. He wasn't especially fond of human, but the girl was only half human which didn't bother him much. He looked over toward one of his mages seeing the shattered glass from the window someone had gone out of. He presumed that Aira woman had fled out the window and that everyone else would be going to see what was going on upstairs in the throne room. Even though he knew it was futile to go look for her he had one of his minions go out the window she did and search for clues even if they were small clues. "I doubt going after that woman will do us any good, but jump out that window and survey the area. You might find even a fragment that I can use out there. I don't care how small the clue is. Just bring it back to me." He ordered one of his minions in the room to do as they walked over toward the window and jumped out of it themselves. "PRINCESS ALICIA!!!" Guards said that entered room to notice that the area had become a slaughter fest. They noticed two corpses on the ground which they knew were both the King and Princess Eurasia. They also saw several guard corpses on the ground that were in the same state as the other two corpses on the ground. They then saw two unknown figures where they inquired who they were and saw their princess tied to the throne chair. She shook her head when they tried to approach and ordered them to stand down. Even though they were hesitant to do so they obeyed her orders anyway. She ordered them to stick by the entrances and ordered one guard to go over toward the window and keep watch over it. "The name is Ariesu, Princess Alicia. I find your people quite interesting and I will enlist my aid to help you restore the damage that was inflicted by that wretched woman. You need not worry about the pathetic cult she comes from. As long as I remain here, they won't dare try to stand in your way." He advised the princess as he grabbed a dagger from Utronos and cut her binds away including the ones that bound her wrists. Meanwhile just outside the castle the dark platinum haired man that wielded Ichivail had returned to the castle with his Arch Knights. He inquired from the guard what was going and wanted a status report on the situation and the damage inflicted by the incident that just happened. The guards weren't entirely sure how much damage the castle sustained or the well-being of their King. All they could tell him is what they've investigated so far has minimal damages and that they had cleared out the gaggle of dead bodies someone else had laid in their wake when storming the castle. "Shall I serve as an escort, Duke Armand?" He questioned toward Armand who shook his head no. Armand decided that he would investigate the situation himself so he could understand what was going on. The guard inquired why he had left the castle earlier where Armand told him simply he was just dealing with a problem in the city. Then he informed him that it was nothing to worry about and that he should just remain on alert in case other intruders try to force their way into the castle. Armand entered the castle and had his Arch Knights standby to guard the main entrance to the castle and then ordered a select few to guard the other two entrances to ensure that security was tight. "Armand!" A soldier ran over while he was about to enter the castle doors. Armand frowned as he turned his attention toward the guard. By the look on the guard's face what he had to say looked urgent. "Out with it already." Armand said impatient as he had no time to waste. "A woman was spotted that had just jumped out one of the windows. We tried to pursue her, but we lost her. And those who kept up with her were found dead. Their bodies were completely decayed like they had been buried for many years." The soldier said toward Armand which concerned him. He then inquired toward the guard what the woman looked like and when the guard gave the description of her he immediately ran into the castle headed straight for the throne room. Ingrid Ingrassia (Chloris mother): Lenisk Ingrassia (Chloris father): "Baron Lenisk and Baroness Ingrid, we have secured the castle though we don't exactly know what happened in the throne room." One of the soldiers said as he saw an orange haired man and a silver haired woman approaching them on armored horses. Lenisk was armed with his angelic like sword and Ingrid had her spear at her disposal if she needed it. Neither looked very pleased as they both had looks of displeasure slapped on their faces. Lenisk stopped his horse near the entrance of the castle where his wife Ingrid pulled up right beside him. "What is going on? Why did I see my daughter killing Guardia troops?" He questioned unhappy about the fact his daughter was killing their own soldiers. He wanted to go after her and force her to come to her senses, but the King was in danger so he'd deal with her at another time. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Meanwhile when Nathan finally put Meira down that is when Azmaldus jumped down from his dragon he was riding happy to see she was okay. He wasn't going to scold her there for what she had done, it would be a waste of time. Now that they had met up with Drausius Mage Knights the soldiers that pursued them all backed off and returned to the city. A few surviving pegasus and dragon knight units were also seen flying toward the city gates. He shook his head at what Nathan had said, because he didn't know that Meira's father abandoned her when she was still an infant. "I'm afraid, boy you don't understand her anger at all. Meira hates her father for the fact he abandoned her when she was just an infant and left her in the care of her mother. But when Meira was nearing her teens, her mother one day vanished without a trace. Not too long after that happened Queen Erialyss of Windgrace agreed to raise her. There is no excuse for her actions, no. But go throwing around words so foolishly without asking her why she feels that way is rather thinking close-minded. You must respect her decisions no matter how foolish they may be. That's part of being a leader and I'm sure she has accepted the responsibility and consequences from them. The only part I didn't appreciate was the fact you were continuing on which is ridicule and I'm sure she might have been insulted. Not by the fact you scold her, but rather by the lack of restraint in your words. Just say your piece and leave it as that. There's no need to drive things into the ground by continuing to talk about such a subject." He reminded the boy as he approached Meira and took her into his hands hugging her. Meira thought her grandfather was going to scold her for what she did, but instead he didn't. "I'm just glad you're okay." He paused for a moment raising his voice for the next couple of statements he made, "But don't ever go into battle without using rational thought, Meira! You're not alone even if you think you are. Your life is not something you can just so easily throw away like a piece of tissue paper. There are those who care about you dearly. So please regard their feelings before you think about being selfish again." He paused once more lowering his tone back toward a fatherly like one, "Besides, I don't need to tell you what happened to myself when I did the samething." "Don't you think that's a bit much, granny?" Whizzle said to no one, recognizing the person who's reckless enough to throw the spell freely. "Hmm, wonder what should I do..." Siia knew that voice only by the word "granny" because there was only one person who ever addressed her by that name and if they didn't want to get sold out they should have chose another alias. She sighed a bit when she heard the word, but didn't really hear if it was male or female, where she was irritated by being called granny. She was still a beautiful woman and she has retained her youth. She found such a moniker rather insulting though she did allow just him to address her that way. Both Chloris and Luther climbed off the mounts they were riding as Meira's mount regrouped with her standing right beside her as her grandfather continued to hug her and hold her in his grasp. "You again..." Were the only words Siia could manage since she wasn't entirely pleased to see the person who she thought it was again who called her by that. Ever since she saw the person she was thinking about the last time when her sister was still around, she had always wanted to avoid contact with him. It wasn't that she hated him, just that he found his behavior obnoxious and sometimes obstinate. "I guess it's fate that brought us back together." She let out of deep sight that echoed around the area that almost everyone could hear. Ranathia who was right beside her didn't say a word. She didn't have anything to say toward the person though she was rather curious how Siia and that person in the sky with blue wings knew each other. Drausius, his wife Ishtora following alongside him and his Mage Knights approached the group. His expression was pretty normal and it didn't look like he entirely cared that they made it out of the city safely. Still he would assist them in their endeavor since he owed a debt to Siia still. Knowing that they couldn't stick around the gates of the capital he advised the group, "We should be going. The sooner we get away from Ereis Eisan, the better."

Whatever reply Nathan had for Azmaldus was lost when he heard him utter something that baffled him "feelings? I barely know her. I mean sure, I kind of remember her from the academy, but that's more because of her hair color then anything else...truth be told, she's the only person I remember from the academy." Realizing he had gotten off topic, Nathan shook his head and continued "but anyway. The only things I really know about her is that she's a princess" he cringed as he said the word princess "calling her cutie pie or talking about her dad is enough to get her into a rage, and what I was just told about her past. That's not enough to establish any sort of attraction. Besides, even if I did have feeling for her, it wouldn't really matter. After all, I'm just a-" he was about to saw monster, but corrected himself at the last second "-commoner. While she's a princess. She's going to get her very own prince charming to sweep her off her feat for her own happily ever after. Being neither a prince or charming, I'd only get in the way. So in the end, it doesn't matter how I feel" he finished

You seem to misunderstood. I was trying to tell you to shut your stupid mouth. Now, do you still want to keep talking and have me make your insides be your outside? If not, scram and leave me alone, semi-human. And so you know, pure-blood werewolves aren't even related to humans. he said. He didn't really hate, hate humans, but all of the races expect the vampires and vompryes, humans seemed to be the most hateful towards werewolves, so being human, or part human. He then realized another voice talking to him, something about leaving the person who approached him alone. He wasn't really paying her much mind. "Fine" he muttered, throwing the guy towards a wall. He didn't put any effort into making it hurt, nor did he care if he got hurt. And slowly started to walk off.

Fenrir rushed over to the random citizen who asked "What is his problem", and went to knock him down, forgetting he was in werewolf form and as such had claws. He wasn't thinking, and he didn't put to much force behind it, but his claws were very sharp so it did cause a solid cut, but nothing major. It cause him to very slightly bleed as the guy fell over. "My problems are my problems." he said, walking away and not even noticing how badly he injured the random guy.

Just leave me alone, unless you want to be dog meat. Do you even know who I am? I might as well tell you, I am Fenrir, the beast of Cimmeria. he basically shouted out. He started to make various wolf noises, which some one who speaks traditional lycanthrope (wolf-like) would recognize as "Gaia, planet where I am, call forth your vines and underbrush to give me aid." as vines grew from the ground and wrapped around Fenrir's feet and pulled him to the ground.

Just leave me alone, unless you want to be dog meat. Do you even know who I am? I might as well tell you, I am Fenrir, the beast of Cimmeria. He basically shouted out. "No, I don't know who you are nor do I care. Your name and words mean absolutely nothing to me. This is a battlefield so prepare yourself otherwise leave this place at once and never return here ever!" Meira ignored his pathetic insult and taunt. She had fallen victim to such foolishness earlier where she smiled and said proudly toward the werewolf, "Mules bray and fools talk, but the wise girl listens not." She smirked with a rush of confidence in her body as she wasn't going to be driven in by such asinine words. She finished her statement with a taunt like response, "Don't bite your tongue now. Not everyone can enlighten themselves with wisdom!" She boasted in a sarcastic taunt like manner. Ignoring anything else he said and turning her head to make sure Ranathia acknowledged she decided to make her next move. She paid absolutely no attention to what Fenrir was doing and didn't even think to look at him for one moment as she jumped down off her pegasus ignoring any noises and rather than listening with her ears she interpreted judgment with her mind. She felt the energy in the air then used the electrical current she generated into her body to slow her fall toward the ground giving her a soft landing. So quick before anyone could notice she shot a ball of electrical charged force into the sky which disappeared out of sight as it headed skyward. She then took her spear and planted it into the ground. She remembered what she had been taught and when Nature Magic was being used. She also knew the great weakest of Nature Magic which was to use forbidden unholy magic which purpose was to distort and twist life energy to the point where it can be destroyed. She drew her sword then concentrated her mind as she hummed something in ancient script where a crimson red pentagram style glyph appeared below her feet. She then drew Ranathia's gravitational energy her magic circle as she continued her hymn. She transformed Ranathia's gravitational energy into a dark aura. The aura started to erupt around Ranathia's gravitational energy as Meira's body was engulfed by the dark energy she embraced. The ground started to shake as dark clouds began to cover the horizon and block out any light. Ranathia felt a bit uneasy since she could feel the darkness that was erupting from the ground that Meira began to summon. She was a bit scared since she didn't think Ranathia could control Kreosus awesome power and summon the Dragon of the Destruction Flame, one of Kreosus beasts. She did know that what she was using would eliminate any chances at trying to use Nature Magic since like Holy Magic, unholy arts were its greatest weakness. "Force of destruction, entity that relieves those of misery. I shall embrace the wickedness of your twilight. I shall understand the decaying essence that erases existence. Rise forward for the darkest hour is nigh! I release your chains to unveil the chaos that spirals out of control as it devours the hands of time." As the ground began to shake violent a violent dark purplish energy broke through the surface causing stalagmite pieces to fly everywhere. The dark twilight that ascended from the depths of the deepest darkness as Meira tried to withstand the uneasiness of the energy began to take shape in the form of a serpent like dragon which curled itself around Meira's spear standing right in front of her releasing its dark aura into the air which started to kill the plants that were around her as they decayed into ashes. The dragon peered at him with its scarlet red eyes as it awaited her command. Ranathia did the same as Meira and ignored any sounds from the air. She like Ranathia had learned from their teacher that you are not to listen to magic. You are to feel its embrace with your entire body and listen to it by feeling its essence. She remembered that they were taught that since most charms only worked if you used certain senses of the body. It was something she herself knew too well knowing that even the most elite of magic users doesn't rely on their normal senses. Ranathia used the dark cloud formation to use her magic and show what the Mjolnir Tome was capable of. Before she started her incantation she threw something on the ground, but it was so small that no one could notice what it was. A small thread of light implanted itself into the ground and quickly dissipated into nothingness as what she threw on the ground shattered into a sparkle of light after what was in it escaped. Ranathia was saying something from her lips as she threw on the ground, but her tone was too silent to notice what she had said. She like Meira concentrated her energy closing her eyes as the symbol on her hand appeared on the ground and sky in the form of a large yellowish glyph that peered outward several feet. While she concentrated her thoughts and remained compose she then recited in her mind keeping in synch with Meira's incantation as she could hear Meira's words as the two opened their minds to each other. "Heavenly lightning that roars within the heavens answering the call to salvation bring forth judgment." "The power of decay returns all to ashen ruin. Nothing can escape its claws of destruction, an endowment I shall utilize with dignity and I embrace the very embodiment of energy that causes all to return to oblivion." Meira said toward Fenrir with confidence just awaiting his next action or response. "The power of two reigns chaos on all those who are unjustified! Your sins shall not go unpunished, ruthless fiend! We will show you how the power of opposites works!" Ranathia exclaimed as she was still keeping her spell on standby. Peering toward the clouds, Ranathia jumped off her mount then she meditated as she drew the electrical force from the dark clouds formed and generated them into a series of electrical energy balls that appeared around the large glyph she had erected below her and above her head. Though she didn't say the last part of the spell yet as she waited to see what exactly the werewolf was going to do so she could make her next move in accordance. She like Meira waited before they reacted and were about to show what these two moves they conjured could do. Electrical energy caressed Ranathia's body like a wild beast as dark energy hissed around Meira making a snake like sound as it continued to emanate around her. Meanwhile Drausius and the others continued to ride forward in the forest while Azmaldus felt a powerful aura that erupted in the city. He also saw that Meira wasn't anywhere to be seen either. "Huh." He sighed where he caught a glimpse of a boy and girl on the ground then noticed it was Nathan and the girl who mysteriously decided to tag along with the group. Though he didn't know her motives, he saw that she was practically harmless. He told his group to continue without him as he landed his dragon in the forest. He unmounted and made his way over toward Nathan and the girl where he questioned seeing that there was some kind of problem, "Did something happen here?" He questioned toward the two confused a bit about what was going on. He then examined the situation and noticed the girl had damaged her wing. Like any gentlemen toward a lady he rose down on one knee and gave his hand out to the girl, "Are you okay, miss? Is there something I can do to ease your pain at all?" He asked her as he didn't like to see any girl suffer no matter what his age was. It was also in his nature to be a gentlemen toward any female. He then looked at her eyes and noticed they were closed shaking his head finally realizing that she was unconscious. "I'll carry her." Azmaldus offered as he reached down and took the girl into his two hands. "While I'm carrying her, head back to town and see if that is where Meira went off to. She ran off again without saying a word and seeing as Ranathia isn't around either, I'm betting she went back to see if Ranathia needed help." He nodded as he walked over toward his dragon and told it to go on without him and that he would carry the girl the rest of the way. It had been the first time he had carried a girl like this in a long time. The last time he had to carry a girl like he did was when his beloved Finathia when she was young and they were unmarried slipped and hit her head on a rock knocking herself unconscious. "I'm counting on you, boy!" He winked as he started to walk away with the girl in his hands. "This brings back memories..."

Whizzle listened to Nathan's rambling, questions forming in her head and hiding a smirk. The boy must have been either too serious or a bit dense. She then felt the healing power washing over her, it was too little to do much about her wing but it did soothe the pain. Whizzle was about to 'woke up' when she heard a set of flapping wings and something landing nearby before hearing a new voice. Fighting a forming frown and an urge to curse, Whizzle remained still as the new voice went closer and spoke to her, "Are you okay, miss? Is there something I can do to ease your pain at all?" he said. Now Whizzle refrained from chuckling before the man offered to carry her and proceeded to do so soon after. It was incredibly hard not to let out the disappointed sigh that she felt. The man then spoke to Nathan, telling the latter to head back and look for Meira and Ranathia. Nathan said his answer before a sound of a constant fire stream can be heard from his direction before going upwards and disappearing, which Whizzle assumed as Nathan showing what he meant with how he can fly earlier. Whizzle remained still for a few more seconds before quietly opening her eyes and looked around before settling her an annoyed gaze at Azmaldus. "Can you put me down, please?" She said, adding the latter in a tone saying it wasn't a request. Regardless of Azmaldus' reaction, be it by putting her down or insisting, Whizzle would then retract her wings, the Midarians inherent shapeshifting meant lasting wounds didn't mean much as long as they have the power to change their form.

No, he didn't say anything bad about my parents. He rather carelessly attacked an innocent bystander badly injuring them. She said to Nathan as she pointed in the direction of the man who laid unconscious on the ground from Fenrir's assault. Seeing that he had evaded Ranathia's Rebinrimitto she decided it was time for her to go on the offensive. She anticipated that he would pay no attention to some of her earlier actions as she saw her orb of electrical energy had shot back down and was hovering a several feet above her head. Ranathia's electrical attack collided with an abandoned building then slam into it ripping the door open along with collapsing some of the walls around the structure as it dissipated into nothingness. She looked at Fenrir and the only words that came out of her mouth in response to what he said was, "I don't expect someone who doesn't value life to understand my resolve nor would I waste my breath explaining the reason to you." She saw he had moved is when she propelled herself into the air using her dark purple energy emanating from her fists. She palmed both her hands out in front of her as she formed a purple dark ball of energy. Her ball of energy had returned and it wasn't a ball of energy anymore as it slowly lowered itself just a few feet above in the shape of sharp electrical energy blades where there were several of them that did rotations above her head. Now that her first attack had manifested itself and now she was about ready with her second she moved one of her palmed out hands where she carved a glyph with her finger that she would use if Fenrir decided to carelessly attack her. If he did attack her while she was levitated, he would not only find out what that glyph she drew was for, but also would succumb to her painful blades above her head. "Not bad." Ranathia said as she prepared her second wave for a different kind of attack. She saw Ranathia had boosted herself airborne and was preparing for another attack where Ranathia concentrated her energy into her electrical balls of energy and modified her original glyph changing the type of attack she was about to use by just using her mind which sped up the process of preparing her next magical strike. She was surprised by Nathan's arrival like Meira, but now wasn't the time to be talking. She grinned as she saw Fenrir had started to dash at full pace. It was exactly what she wanted him to do. She waited with her magical attack seeing what his next move was. She would then decide whether it would be time to reveal what she had done earlier that he didn't pay much attention to. She was pretty sure she had given what she did earlier when she was on her mount plenty of time to manifest. "What's going on over there?" Soldiers questioned as they saw a commotion near the entrance of the city. They all marched immediately to investigate what was going on. The guard captain lead the way for the group as they made their way over toward the four individuals near the gate. Just as they tried to get closer a man dressed in black appeared in front of them. The soldiers immediately stop and salute the man, "Lord Rushifa, what brings you out here?" "I will handle this." He said as he turned away from the soldiers walking over toward the fight. One of the soldiers questions him by saying, "But." He shake his head and makes it clear with his voice that he intends to deal with the problem. The soldiers nod their heads and decide to return to their posts. They apologize for wasting Rushifa's time, but he only ignores them. The man dressed in black walks over toward a building then leans against it as he grins. He looks over in the direction of the pink haired girl then closes his eyes and smiles for a moment, "You've indeed gotten stronger both mentally and physically..." He paused for a moment as he continued to observe her actions. He paid absolutely no attention toward her opponent since he was only interested in watching her. "To think I married your mother to help bring you into this world..." Again another pause he smiled once again pleased with what he was seeing out of her. "You are indeed worthy of being my daughter. I never thought I'd give life to a child. I was always so hateful of mortals, but I guess perhaps it was your mother that opened my eyes. Perhaps such beings are worthy of my recognition. I understand being forgotten by gods all too well... Perhaps you will light the path toward defeating him..." He said as he didn't complete his statement just leaving it as "him". Meanwhile the girl says something that humors Azmaldus, "Why, my lord, my name is too insignificant for someone of your stature to remember, let alone notice," She sweetly replied. What the girl had said made Azmaldus chuckle. She was right, he was once a ruler of a large and powerful nation, but after the assault from the Cimmerian Empire. It had fallen to pieces and he was the only one who managed to safely move his daughter out of the castle before she was captured. He entrusted his daughter to one of his most trusted advisers as he had stayed behind and supposedly perished in the ruins along with his beloved wife Finathia. They both had managed to make it out of the castle, but only because of an old friend who stayed behind and risked their life to allow both to escape. He then decided thereon that he would leave the future in the hands of youth. They could make a better future than he could ever attempt to create. "I guess I can't hide the fact of my status." He said casually still laughing surprised that the girl knew something about his heritage. He wouldn't ask how she knew since it didn't matter anymore. It was so long ago that even if were discovered he was Emperor Benign of the Valdaria Empire, it would still change nothing about the past. There was nothing to be changed from the past nor did he have any intention on dwelling on the past either. "I shall inquire nothing more then." He said dismissing himself from the girl as he turned around and headed back for his dragon. There was nothing more for him to ask and it wasn't like him to pry into other people's personal affairs. If they didn't want to tell him then they had their reasons and he respected that. "Take care of yourself and try to exercise more caution."

All of this talk about gods and justice is making me sick. Why won't people just leave me alone. Fenrir said, and growling and snarling to cast a spell at the girl with the electric knives. This spell targeted ones very being and filled it with despair and misery. A normal person would be so overcome with grief that they would be basically immobilized as they are engulfed in darkness. The spell is know as Abyssal Despair.

Fenrir laid on the ground, it appeared as if he didn't have a scratch on him do his regenerative abilities and over-all tediousness, but that amount of regeneration take out all of his energy. He couldn't even get off the ground he was that exhausted. He started to just talk to himself in his normal speaking voice, "I was born only to fight, I was taught only how to fight, I was trained only how to fight, and I can't even fight. I am worthless." he said in a broken and defeated tone. He then reached his hand out trying to stretch it out, revealing his Ragnanok Band as it lightly glowed.

Thank you for trusting in me. I'll do my best not to disappoint you, Fenrir. It was the first time she said his name casually where she turned her head at the rest of the group, "Let's all regroup with the main unit now." She smiled at Fenrir then noticed Nathan wanted to go. If what he said was accurate then they better make their way out of the capital and regroup with the rest of the group. Meira jumped onto her pegasus then told her purple haired friend that she was going to regroup with the others. It was time for her and everyone else to make their retreat from the capital before the soldiers arrived to block their advance. She immediately had her pegasus flaps its wings and off she went into the sky gliding toward the others. Ranathia turned her mount around digging into itself as she took off toward the gate finally passing it not taking long before she was into the forest. Ranathia stopped for a moment remembering that Meira made a promise toward the werewolf. She was a bit hesitant to turn around and offer the werewolf a ride and the fact he was a male made her feel very uneasy. "I just...." She said stuttering at the thought of giving him a ride. Meira took notion toward the fact that she had still remembered her childhood friend Ranathia was till uneasy around men. Knowing that she turned her mount around in Fenrir's direction. She was a bit hesitant to give him a ride, but not because of Ranathia's reason, Rather. she was under the impression he did not like to ride on mounts and would rather keep on foot. Landing near him she offered him a ride on her mount, despite if he accepted or rejected her offer she immediately took off and caught up with the rest of the group before the main force assembled where they were at. Something must have happened inside the castle if it took them this long to respond and she thought it was probably something bad. She didn't know what it was, but she thought she had an idea. Before they get accused of being a part of the plot that happened in the castle which is stalling the guard, they best flee the capital which is what Ranathia and her. Meira looked back at the capital sighing in relief as she rode on pegasus, "It's finally over... Now we have to determine what our next action will be. If I'm to become a ruler then I'll need a place to defend where I base my strength off of. I'll think about that once I return to Windgrace where I can plan everything out accordingly." She said as she continued to glide in the sky with her pegasus not taking long to regroup with Lenna, Azmaldus and Drausius units. Neither of the three asked any questions as they saw the others had caught up to them. They were just relieved to see they came back safely and that was all that counted. Drausius listened to what Siia had just told him a moment ago though he wasn't sure how to put his words for it. She told him this before back at the Order and he thought she was insane, but there was starting to become truth which started to light up around her words. When Meira approached he inquired toward her which caught her by surprise at first, but then she realized that Siia is a visionary and that is probably how he knew, "Princess Meira, what do you plan to do now? Surely you can't continue to sideline yourself and not act on your own gumption?" Drausius questioned since he wasn't sure if Meira understood the consequences of war and he questioned if she had the power to lead an army herself. A title was just merely a status to announce someone so that other people who knew about the lineage knew who it was. It wasn't enough to convince the people's hearts of those who didn't know them that they were going to fight for what they wished for. Even though he did have his doubts, he would encourage her to rise to the throne. The people at times like this needed someone like her to keep their hearts strong. Certainly Guardia and Rudoria at the current states they were in weren't going to accomplish that. He looked at her once again then continued with what he was going to say, "You do realize, by rising to the throne you are no longer under Windgrace's protection? I won't stop you, but I will warn you princess that the road to sovereignty is a rugged and treacherous one. Be very careful in who you trust. That is all I can tell you for right now." He warned her as he awaited her responses as she touched down on the ground with her pegasus so he could take with the Pangaea Order official. She brought her pegasus in for a landing as safe as possible trying not to run into the trees while bringing it down for a safe landing. Though the space was tight she managed to get it on the ground without any problems. She would need his assistance if she was to bring up her own nation and she was going to do her best in trying to persuade Drausius to see things her way. She wasn't going to overdo it with her statements trying to keep them self-explanatory as possible. "I know you mean well at trying to persuade me to reconsider, Meister Drausius, but I made a promise which I cannot go back on. I promised I would create a world where everyone would be happy. I know you see that as nothing, but a child's fairytale. I believe I can make it happen. I appreciate your concern, but I assure you my friends will look out for me on my path to becoming Queen. I also know that my title is just a mere formality or status so people know who I am. I will show you that I have earned my title as a princess and that I was not made a princess merely by blood. It wasn't a birth right or blood right. I will do what I can to ensure that I am worthy of having that title and one day I will promote myself to queen when I feel I'm ready." Meira said boldly in response to Drausius statements earlier. She knew he was trying to persuade her not to go through with what she was about to do, but she made a promise and she knew that a deal is a deal. She wasn't going to go back on her word. She'd be betraying her friends if she did. She was confident that she could do everything she said she could. "Very well then, princess. The Pangaea Order will review your request and we will appoint you a land which will be yours and where you can start your quest toward power. Princess, I know you mean well and that you don't want to disappoint. I'm not saying you shouldn't take this path, but I will warn you that you should be very cautious when traveling the path. As Meister, you are under the protection of the Order, but I request that you return to Windgrace while we review your case. We will do our best to support your cause and fund your nation the best we can, but be truth about what you're going to do. That is all I ask. Don't disappoint those who put their faith into you. That is all I have to say, princess. May fortune be with you on your journey toward power. One last note, you'll need to announce to the Queen of Windgrace that you plan to live up your name. She needs to know that you wish to be a ruler. I'm sure she will do what she can to support you if she can. That is all I can do for you, princess." "You're so much like your mother, I can hardly tell you apart. Not by just looks. You act almost exactly like your mother did." Drausius added as he finally let his voice fall silent where he looked at his wife and admired her. He knew one day Meira would have a companion to travel at her side to be with her for the rest of her life too. He just didn't know when. Meira was shocked Drausius knew about her mother where she asked out of curiosity, "YOU KNEW MY MOTHER!?" Drausius shook his head shocked she didn't know where he said briefly, "We can talk about that later. There will be plenty of time for words once we return to Windgrace."

Fenrir started to jog, easily being able to keep up with the Pegasus's while they flied over the roads of Guardia. As they started to reach the forest, it was a bit tougher, however far for impossible. He didn't even need to look up, he could just follow the flyers by their scent. Navigating harsh terrain came naturally to werewolves, and he often had to go though forests and marshes to do his "job".

Fenrir smiled, "I have a better idea." he said. As he changed into his werewolf form as he walked up to the Guardia clerk. "I am Fenrir of Cimmeria, member of the Warwolf unit. You know, the unit that Cimmeria uses to "clean" up "messes" that they don't like. I left my ID and passport at home, but I assume that wouldn't be a problem." he said, slowly raising a claw up. He was mostly bluffing, but he thought he could easily just knock these guys out without even using his claws, presuming they didn't just let him pass.

Whizzle looked around once while thinking about something before passing through the gate. The machine beeped an error once before it gave an accepted signal. She knew the scanner would gave a warning but gave her an entry because she was registered. She waved at the frowning guards, challenging them on what they're going to do.

Inside the Windgracian castle, an audience between the queen of the country and various other figures including those who reigned from far away lands. Lands that were so far away that another nation stood in the way of a clear straight path toward reaching the Pangaea Order. A freshly set of beautiful cedar wooden like steps carried themselves all the way up to the queen's golden chair which was situated toward the back of the audience room. Off to her sides were two rooms, both of which had a guard placed in front of them to ensure that no one would enter without the queen's consent. One of those rooms was the queen's bedroom and the other was her royal office. In the queen's hand rested a golden staff that peered all the way down to the bottom of the surface of the floor which her feet were planted on. This staff was decorated with various ornaments such as beautiful sapphires, emeralds and rubies which show of the staff's beautiful glistening sparkle shine. Beside her is her adviser Siia dressed in her usual uncommon advanced women wardrobe like apparel that looks like it is sci-fish due to the strange texture in the material used. Like the queen, Siia also keeps her attention faced forward where three other figures accompanied by a group of mages stand in front of the queen. The queen looked at her audience as her foot accidentally nudged the hilt of her rapier. The beautiful silverish luster from the blade gave off a glare from the lights of the chandelier. The beautifully forged blade was in its rightful sheathe that usually was fixed to her hip by attaching it to her belt. Her shield that lay on top of her sword lightly kissed with the side of her ankle. Both lie on the ground right in front of her feet as she kicked her foot back toward the leg of her regal chair. As she did so, the expression on the queen's face was one of complete confusion when the representatives from the Pangaea Order tried to explain to her that Meira had agreed to take her place on the throne. The Windgracian Queen didn't know how to take the news of Meira wanting to take the throne. She wasn't about to stop Meira from rising to the throne, but she wasn't entirely sure she was completely ready to lead her own army. There was more to ruling than just leading an army and she wasn't entirely sure if Meira knew that. Also, the fact the princess tend to show a hothead toward those who upset her didn't help her case at all either. Even though the Queen did not agree with her decision she would honor it by allowing her coronation to take place in the castle. It was about time she returned what rightfully belonged to her anyway which was a tiara she received from Meira's mother Melianth. The queen was Meira's age when Melianth presented her with the tiara she wore when she used to be a princess of the Valdaria Empire which collapsed decades ago. The queen was hesitant to accept the tiara, but Melianth insisted saying that she didn't need it anymore. She had no intention in reviving her father's nation and she planned to help the world of Gaea without being restricted to a throne chair. Focusing her attention on those who have appeared in front of her as representatives, she leaned forward in her throne chair. Even when she was leaning forward, the red cushion below her posterior served her a comfortable reminder of why she liked to sit in her chair. Brushing that thought aside she finally came to complete focus and stopped thinking about what was on her mind earlier. Even the fact she was concerned about Meira wanting to become a ruler didn't stop her from speaking her piece, "I understand that Meira wishes to acknowledge her title as princess and be presented properly with a crowning, correct?" She questioned trying to hide her worry within her plain voice which could be heard loud and clear in the room. As the two shuffled around earlier talking their piece as Siia just continued to observe the situation as the queen's adviser, the silver haired man named Drausius stepped forward signaling toward his wife to stay behind him. He didn't want to get his wife involved in his talk since she could be extreme at times and wish for things to die. That was something he knew the queen did not tolerate. With a serious plain voice as Azmaldus stood right behind him to back him up if necessary he plead toward the queen, "Queen Erialyss Windgrace, daughter of Verbeina, I would not have called this audience if I was going to waste your time." He took a momentary pause clearing his voice as he came off a bit scratchy. Erialyss didn't say a word knowing that he wasn't finished with what he was saying. After he cleared his voice and accepting the glass of water offered by the queen's soldier who returned to their position he continued on with what he was about to say, "Princess Meira of the former Valdaria Empire wishes to take up her family's name and help the people who are suffering in this land." Once again he paused as he brought up his hands in a gesture of trying to persuade the queen to consider their offer. Sure, the Pangaea Order wasn't on the best of terms with Windgrace due to their involvement with Rudoria in the past, but that wasn't his fault he thought. He didn't agree to lend aid to the Rudoria Kingdom and the Oracles who control the main governing body had all sided with Ezmeralda at the time even though he didn't like their decision. The decision to use Ragnanite Demons further invoked his dislike for the main governing body. He needed to set things straight and try to repair relations with Windgrace. He was hoping to do that by helping Meira achieve her place in society. When she first asked him, he was quite surprised. To ask him out of the blue while mounted on his horse that she wanted to become a queen really arose some bewilderment that he tried not to let overwhelm him. He never thought a girl who wanted to be normal would suddenly change her heart so easily. It was surreal to the point he thought it was just a dream, but he realized that he was just trying to find a way to hide his embarrassment about being overtaken by the news earlier. "Continue." The queen requested as she had reached the point of his pauses were taking too long. Too long to the point it was trying at her patience which is something he did not wish to do so he continued with what he had to say knowing full well the queen didn't have all day to listen to him babble. He focused his attention mainly on Erialyss once again continuing with what he was going to tell her, "So, I Meister Drausius, have agreed to help her achieve her place on the throne. We will need to hold an official coronation ceremony crowning the princess properly and I know you out of all people my illustrious queen know that." He once again paused but only for a moment. Knowing that it was a bad time to let himself get consumed into thought he continued once again, "I know that Windgrace and the Order's relations aren't that great. After we aided in the invasions of the Anzier Empire which perpetuated its downfall and the Guardia Kingdom I can understand why Windgrace is cautious about receiving us. I am honored you'd at least allow us to present our case, your majesty." He bowed toward the queen trying to make an impression to help broaden the hopes of restored relations. He knew that a simple bow wasn't enough to restore the lost trust, but it would be a start as he tried to honor the queen with flattery. "Your flattery knows no bounds and won't sway me so easily. I understand your position, Meister." She paused as her voice became more intense and serious just by the adjustment of her tone. "But understand that our people were stunned you would resort to dirty tactics like use demons for means of subjugation. While it wasn't your doing, it still doesn't excuse your nation for the blame. As for Meira's coronation, she can hold it inside the castle where I'll return this tiara that belongs to her." Erialyss paused once again as she picked up the beautiful silver littered with diamonds and sapphires tiara which Meira's mother once wore. Sure she was hesitant to let the sentimental value of the tiara go, it didn't matter as she was going to return it to its proper owner. It wasn't hers to begin with even if it was a parting gift from her friend. "I will allow the Pangaea Order to be present during the coronation, but I request they leave after it has concluded. That is all I have to say." With that the queen finished talking and Drausius bowed toward the queen as did his wife Ishtora even though she was hesitant to do so. The guards were ordered to show both back to their quarters where she requested that Azmaldus stay behind for a moment. She had some pressing business to discuss with him. "Very well." Azmaldus said as he approached the queen's throne as the two soldiers beside her stepped away after she signaled it was all right. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meira and Ranathia continued to sit on the couch while they relaxed in relief. The troubles they faced earlier in the Guardian nation had weighed heavily on their hearts. Some which sprang about mixed emotions about what had happened earlier. Both Meira and Ranathia both looked at each trying to find the words to express how they exactly felt about the chain of events that transpired in the Guardian capital Ereis Eisan. First they were meeting with the king as he had requested. After that some maniac of a woman made accusations which forced them to return to their native land. It was both confusing and frustrating for both girls as they tried to calm the pressure they felt from the anxiety of the situation earlier. They both wanted an explanation of why events happened like they did and thought Siia knew more about what was going on than she was telling them. It was to no surprise to either since it was typical of that cold woman to keep anyone in the dark. She always made them try to understand everything from themselves and always dogged the questions that only made both girls even more curious about the woman's actual motives. "I just can't understand it all!" Meira yelled as Ranathia nodded at her agreeing with her wholeheartedly. It made no sense to her either why they were treated as allies at first. Invited into the castle to meet with the king to only have their meeting take a turn for the worst accusing them of treason. They would curse the day that woman was born since she ruined their plan they presented to the queen. It made both think if the queen would lose faith in their abilities. Their plan they wanted to present to the king was pretty self-explanatory and any novice could easily put it into words that could be understand by all people. One which they put their utmost faith into only to have it backfire on them in the end. "First we were treated as guests being summoned to the audience room. After a few change of events we then were treated like traitors. I had sworn my loyalty to Guardia and even the king heard my vow." She said trying to restore the confidence she lost in herself earlier. While she didn't lose all her confidence since she did defeat Fenrir in a fight, she still was shaken up mentally over what had gone on earlier. Meira leaned herself forward as she sat on the couch as she tried to ponder the thoughts that still linger in her mind aimlessly. There was plenty of time to contemplate with the luxury of being in her beautiful home which had various famous pieces that were works of art including the furniture and the couch she sat on was no exception. The brown tone on the wood you could see from the head to the arms of the couch glistened into the light a magnificent finish that was merely a masterpiece best served. The wood hugged the soft comfortable cushion layer of the couch which made it easy to make anyone relax. Off to her side was her fireplace which was dormant since it was still in the middle of the fall. She only used it when it was cold, but the orange flame that licked her smooth skin always gave her a warm and gentle feeling of comfort and security. The finely crafted chandeliers that hovered above their heads gave off a radiant glow which filled the entire room with its innocent shine. While her purple curtains warded off most of the light outside, a segment showered the ground with its luminance peering into the shadowy presence that tried to laminate the floor. The sun outside shone its beautiful rays of light down upon the capital. Its brazen ocherous glare smiled upon the people with its tangerine luster. Most beautiful when veiled by the puffy white marshmallowy clouds transformed into a vermilion radiant shine which peered into the horizon below as it set into the oceanic sky above. During the time of dusk was the best time to visualize the elegant beauty the sun in the sky had to offer which was usually when Meira went outside just to watch be swallowed by the azureness of the sky above. She continued to wait for the time so she could reflect on the rest that had happened today which floated around in the back of her mind isolated by the troublesome thoughts of earlier. Trying to bring a smile onto her face and widening it she looked at Ranathia, "I guess we'll have to wait and see what the queen says tomorrow." She paused for a moment as she leaned back onto the couch while trying to brush away the annoying thought about having to attend a coronation, "Probably during my coronation." She said with some frustration in her voice. It wasn't the fact she had to wear a dress that bothered; moreover, she really disliked hanging around a bunch of people who were twice her age. She didn't see how Erialyss found that any fun either. The whole time Meira had spoken Ranathia had remained silent not saying a single word. She listened in with her attention on Meira whenever she did talk. When she overheard her complaining about her coronation. She understand and wasn't entirely thrilled about it either since she always felt naked without her sword. She never liked wearing a dress and it was always so stuffy in the castle, because a lot of people were invited for special events. Though something struck her curiosity about who would all be invited to her coronation. One of the people that troubled her the most when she thought about that was Fenrir. Unlike Meira even if he agreed to swear himself to her cause, she wasn't entirely convinced he could be trusted. He attacked a Guardian citizen over something totally trivial and thought the princess was being a little too generous about what she was doing. The fact he wandered the streets of the capital even caused her to become a little bit more tense. She took a deep breath and let off a deep sigh which alarmed Meira. Ranathia shook her head letting Meira know it was nothing to concern herself with.

Whizzle was reading when she heard a loud thump nearby. Craning her head, Whizzle saw a tuft of pink hair going into the room that was previously barricaded on the other side of the room. Curious, she put the book she was reading back into the shelf it came from before walking to the door. She tilted a head, picking between entering the room or staying out. Before she could do so, she then heard Meira shouting to someone from inside the room. Whizzle raised an eyebrow, the yell can't be directed at her since she was outside so, it meant someone else had sneaked in, maybe even before her. Picking her decision, Whizzle peeked into room. --- Alice walked out to the Market District's street, she only got several steps out when a shadow loomed over her and the resulting collision knocked her off her feet. She was bumped hard enough that the girl was thrown into another passerby, a scrawny looking boy with permanent scowl on his face. "Hey, watch where you're walking, human!" the figure shouted at her. Alice glared at the bulldog Nekrian looming over her, who ignored it and chose to look at the boy that Alice was thrown to. "Hah, pathetic, a little bump and you need another person to hold you? A scrawny looking person that is closer to bones than the meatbags you humans are and can't even do it properly?"

Azmaldus expected a confused response from Nathan. It seems his father died before he ever got the chance to properly introduce him to Nathan. Azmaldus remembers the child that Ysolde held in her hands during the time he visited. Though he was a bit taken back why he shortened his name to Nathan since the name that was given to him was longer. Then it hit Azmaldus that he probably didn't like that name. If he didn't like that name then he would respect that fact and just call him Nathan. Though abandoning your real name isn't one of the most respectable things you can do for your family. He wanted to tell Nathan that he should honor his parents and go by his real name, but he refrained from doing so seeing as it was none of his business. When Nathan offered him a seat he took one sitting across from Nathan on a sturdy stool Nathan took from his kitchen. He shook his head toward Nathan telling something that might surprise him completely, "You see Nathan, your father Nozdormu and i were old friends. Hah," He laughed a little as he thought Nathan was being silly about what he said, "When I used to be a ruler which was years ago, I hired your father to do missions for me. I heard about his fame and how he was a famous dragonslayer which attracted my attention. That is when I sent an emissary of mine to recruit him telling him I'd pay him any price he asked for. That is how I got to know him. It's also how your father met your mother. Your mother was a priestess for the church inside my castle back then." He paused for a moment to rest his breath for a moment. He remembered the times he spent with both Nathan's mother and father. Those were times he enjoyed the most since they were the happiest times he had with his wife Finathia. Thinking about the past made him think about Finathia and how he missed his deceased wife. Even though he wanted to join her in death, he made a promise that he would watch over Melianth and be there for her when she grew up. He was surprised someone as old as him managed to survive the turbulent times of his daughter. Over those times he suffered casualties in his family losing not only his wife, but also his only son and his eldest daughter Valeria. These are people that Meira never got the chance to know. He still remembers when she was an infant that she asked him about those people. She was always a curious girl is what Azmaldus always remembered. "I owe your father my life. He is one of the reasons I'm still around today." He laughed as he remembered when Nozdormu convinced Azmaldus who was being stubborn and wanted to stay behind in the castle. Back then he didn't want to leave his wife or let her die alone and still he couldn't avoid having her die alone. Sometimes he kicked himself over that and at first he was angry with Nozdormu for saving him. He did thank Nozdormu and his fiance at the time Ysolde when they helped his two daughters escape from the castle. He didn't understand why Melianth and Valeria back then would do something as foolish to try to resurrect their own brother. He was a fool to ignore Ysolde's warning about how his two daughters were performing forbidden arts. He did apologize to Ysolde later for how he treated her when she told him about the two. Brushing his many thoughts aside he looked at Nathan and continued to pause his discussion to give Nathan a chance to respond to what he had just said. He would provide Nathan with what was given to him that was from bother his parents once he got to that part. For now he held onto the keepsakes until the time presented itself.

While Meira laid on the ground unconscious Whizzle had called out to the intruder in the room. Unfortunately for him, the intruder was long gone leaving no traces of their remains when they vanished into thin air. Apparently from the materials laid on the desk, the intruder was looking into the book that was given to Rana by the mysterious woman known as Siia. The book had a brown cover and the text was golden yellow in color. Now the book wasn't on the table. Instead it is now in the hands of Whizzle who decided to take the forbidden tome with them. On the floor Meira lays unconscious as all the strange glyphs and marks on her body vanish back into her body. The episode she was having earlier had been averted thanks to Whizzle's magic. Deep inside Meira's consciousness she sees herself in some strange building that has glyphs and runes all over it. She has no idea where she is at and begins to panic. The only thing that she remembers is that she blacked out and that is when her mind went completely blank. Meira couldn't at all remember anything about what happened before she blacked out. It was as if the memory had been completely wiped from her mind. She saw cobblestone stairs in front of her that carried themselves upward toward a throne like chair that was situated in the back. She picked herself off the ground then freaked out when she saw she was wearing a kimono. She demanded to know where her clothing went and a voice told her to settle down. That this was all going on in her subconscious and that she was still wearing her normal clothes. The kimono she was wearing was pinkish purple with all kinds of flowery designs and embroidery that stretched all across it. Meira made her way up toward the top of the steps of the building she was in. At the top she saw a pink haired girl with one eye that was blue and another which was bright red. It was unusual to see a girl with two different colored eyes. She doesn't remember anyone that had such eyes other than a mythological race that were called the Kheminians. The girl wore strange clothing which she had never laid her eyes on before. She wore a white short dress with a cape that stretched down to her ankles. On her arms she wore sleeves that stretched out a bit bulky where the arm was near the shoulder, but became more thin as it made its way toward her wrists. Over top those sleeves she wore a long golden armlet that went almost back toward her elbow. Underneath her outfit with several slits in it was a one piece like spandex bodysuit that was trimmed in the form of a swimsuit. She adorned on her breasts a golden breastplate. On her hip were golden hip guards that overlay her angelic white skirt. "Who are you?" She questioned toward the girl sitting in the throne like chair as she reached the top. Meira wasn't entirely sure what to think since when she reached the top it was like she was staring into a night sky. There were stars all over that clustered around the girl as she stayed relaxed in her chair. It was a sight which Meira had never seen before in her life. How did a dwelling like this house celestial bodies? Just what was this place and where was she? She felt like it was a dream, but when she pinched herself she only said ouch. That made the girl giggle who leaned forward in her chair. She smiled toward Meira as she stood up from her chair and approached the pink haired girl. Meira was cautious and backed away. This only caused the girl to shake her head and tell Meira that she wasn't going to bite her. She continuously smiled at Meira with cheerful attitude, "I'm sorry, didn't mean to startle you. I should have introduced myself. My name is Selest Lumina von Rosenau. You're a Sindel child, aren't you?" Meira started out her introduction while greeting her properly first, "Nice to meet you, Selest. The name is.." But when she tried to say her name Selest had interrupted her with, "Meira Rystaliuskal, correct?" Selest smiled toward Meira as she stopped a few inches away from the girl. She then extended her arm to shake Meira's hand. This caused Meira to back up since she was shocked. She thought to herself for a moment as she tried to keep herself from being overwhelmed. How did she know... How did she know my name!? And what did she mean by Sindel child!? Me!? SINDEL!? WHAT!!! "Calm your thoughts Meira. Just relax, you're letting yourself get flustered for nothing. I know all this is hard to believe or understand, but in time you will understand the purpose of your family's lineage. You are one of the last Sindel children in existence. We, the Kheminian or the overseers of your Universe, have been following the Sindel closely and their activities. I can't tell you exactly why you are one of the last in existence, but I can say that Gaea does have the answers. You are a Sindel that was born from the Exrius family making you a direct descendant of Elder Alkmaar. Listen to me closely, Meira. Don't be alarmed and don't get scared either. There is nothing scary about who you are. Let me show your something." She paused as she approached Meira pressing her palm against her chest and held out her other arm to reveal a celestial blue orb in her body that had a dark purple crystal that revolved around in it. Meira didn't know what that thing was, but why was it in her body? That was the only question she could ask herself right now. Selest then continued to ease Meira's confusion over seeing an orb being drawn out of her body, "This orb signifies you as a true member of the Exrius family. The Exrius and Ciela members were all descendants of Alkmaar. I can't tell you the name of this orb or its purpose. I can't even tell you what this orb is either. I can tell you that this orb is special. This orb was passed down through the Exrius family generations. Don't be afraid of it. This orb is a personification of your other self Meira. If you are afraid then it will be afraid and start to get defensive." Meira didn't know what Selest meant by 'other self'. She wanted to know more about the special object, but she knew Selest would only tell her what she needed to know. It still didn't stop her from almost going insane from not knowing anything more about this special thing she had in her body. Selest removed her palm from Meira's body where the orb that was in the cup of the palm of her other hand went back into Meira's body. She then smiled once again as she told Meira to follow her where she lead them both to a room with cushions. "Have a seat. I need to show you how to generate this new energy source that will empower your magic. You can't use Esir and Ragna energies anymore, Meira. Now you must learn to harness the Sindel long lost ancient technology called Elan." Meira interrupted with a look of surprise all over her face as she shouted at Selest rudely who didn't look upset at all as her reaction was natural, "ELAN!? What do you mean by that!?" "Calm down Meira. Have a seat with me." She said as she paused sitting down where Meira decided to do the same. Meira wasn't entirely sure what the point of this was, but if it was important she was willing to listen. "Now listen with your mind for the vibrations in the air. Can you sense it?" She asked seeing if Meira could detect the essence of Elan in the air. Meira shook her head since she didn't feel anything. All she could hear was Selest's voice and the quietness of the room. "Don't listen with your ears, Meira. Listen with your mind and feel the sensitivity of the Elan particles in the air. Open your Synchrons in your body and feel the Elan with those. You can't feel Elan with normal senses so that is why you're having difficulty detecting it. It's a special essence that can only be detected via special means."

E-eh? Alice muttered. She was thoroughly surprised by the question. "B-but, I, eh, ah, umm..." The girl stuttered, unable to think of any response as Rhadamanthus turned to address his subordinated before talking to the werewolf. She took a sharp breath before the Mahzok faced her again, arm extended in front of her. "I..I'll come with you," she quickly answered, taking the arm and standing up. Following the older man, Alice occasionally looked back, worried that the werewolf followed after them.

I can feel them now. Meira answered Selest as she concentrated hard to sense the eluding Elan particles that filled the air. Meira could feel a tingling situation all over her body as the particles nudge her entire body as she drew them in. She could feel their power inside her body even if the particles weren't drawn into her body yet. She then felt a more sensitive tingle toward her body in which she could feel the particles entering and exiting her body. The particles had a certain gentleness to them which made her feel at ease as she continued to conjure them into and out of her body. Meira opened her eyes as she realized she had finally done it. That she had finally succeeded in detecting the Elan particles in the air of the unknown location she was still at. She stood up from her pillow and jump in excitement as she exclaimed in joy, "I finally did it, Selest! I finally was able to feel them!:" "Great job." Selest praised her as she rose to her two feet and patted her on the shoulder. Selest was very proud of Meira since she had finally unlocked her ability to use Elan. This new special hidden power inside of Meira would take her magic to even further heights which Selest knew. Selest knew it was about time for Meira to return to where she came from. She walked over and embraced Meira tight with her body gesturing a farewell to her. Meira shook her head and didn't want to say farewell yet, but Selest insisted that she needed to go now. She felt her first day training was complete and they'd continue her training at another time. Before she sent Meira on her way, she showed Meira a special orb inside her body. When Meira tried to speak out of shock she held her index finger to her lips silencing her. Shaking her head she told Meira in time she would learn what that orb was as she returned the orb she extracted from Meira's body back into her body. Selest told Meira to close her eyes and when she did, Meira's entire mind went blank with darkness. She continued to toss and turn on the ground from the dream she was having until she slowly opened her eyes. When her eyes began to open, the room become more in focus as it became even more visual to her. She turned her head left and right to look around only to notice she was on a cold solid floor. She looked to see if she still had on the kimono only to notice that she was wearing her original clothes again. She stood up still resting on the ground as she questioned in the room, "Ooohhh... Why does my head feel so out of place?" She moaned for a moment as she tried to shake off the groggy feeling she felt. She would then continue as that feeling left her, "Where am I and what am I doing on this floor?" Meira said as she finally became alert after her dream had ended. She had no idea how long she had been out for and she knew the floor was certainly cold, hard an very uncomfortable. She remembered fragments of her dream though it all seemed so scrambled in her mind. Meanwhile Ranathia was busy cooking the two a meal on the stove. She was about to adjust the temperatures when she heard a knock at the door. She told her maid to look after the food while she went to the door. The maid offered to answer the door, but Ranathia refused.It didn't take long for Ranathia to reach the door where she opened it and saw Fenrir standing outside which caught her by surprise. "What are you doing here?" She questioned toward Fenrir as she held the door partially open while still using her body to bar any path into the house.

Fenrir took the money, "New clothes? These still fit" he muttered as he walked off towards an inn. Even though he clothes were really dirty and a bit tattered, he didn't see why he needed new clothes. Alexander walked a very fast pace to the place where the Queen was at. "I am sorry to be so rude, your majesty. However, the Order told me to not delay. Is it true that a person, a girl as I hear it, is raising to the throne? As she is Windgracian by birth, we must speak to you before we can speak to her."

Devilish witch! Luther exclaimed in anger though refrained from taking any action. As long as they held Chloris in their grasps, the odds were completely against him. A simple hmph came out of his mouth when he received the ring from the woman. He turned around with a serious stare on his face and pointed his book in her direction, "I swear on the divine protection Phantasma Magorias grants me that you harm her even one little bit I will reign down hell and judgment upon you. I won't use Phantasma Magorias, I'll show you its true form which is a Sindel lost artifact that you will witness the power of if you invoke my wrath. Mark my words on that!" He threatened as he walked away with the book in his hands and put the ring away in one of his pouches. He was rather aggravated about being used by this woman to do her dirty work. He had also lost all respect for his former friend Aodeos, if you could even call him a friend anymore. What surprised Luther the most is that he didn't know that someone like Aodeos could stoop so low as to use leverage against people. "Hmmm..." Aodeos turned his attention toward the roof interested then noticed four females that were trying to stay secluded from sight. He started to grin as he recognized all four of them and knew who exactly these girls worked for. Not only that, he also knew what they were exactly up to. "It's not nice to eavesdrop, ladies. Why don't you come down here and introduce yourselves to us?" He said toward them as they finally stood up and decided it was time to show themselves. They knew soon enough that someone as intelligent and aware as Aodeos would eventually sense them. He then began to speak to the four ladies as they all moved close to him after jumping down from the roof to the surface. But before he began he motioned toward Duress, "I think the girl would be safer in Malice's hands. After all, this is her show and I'm only the host." Right after he finished that first statement Duress pushed the restrained girl over toward Malice. "Well ladies, why don't you all introduce yourselves to us?" He pulled up his disguise enough so you could see his lips and him beginning to smirk. Not much was visible and you really couldn't get any real idea of what he looked like since all of his skin was covered in black robes. The three women were not amused by his antics and their eyes became a bit more fierce when he thought they would find him amusing at all. When they refused to introduce themselves he decided to introduce the four instead. "The first pink haired girl in the skirt is the beautiful Princess of the former Valdaria Empire Mistress Melianth Rystaliuskal. Beside her is the other pink haired girl who is the unbelievable daughter of Melianth's deceased sister Valeria whom people thought didn't have one and also has the same father as Melianth's daughter Meira, Reala Valdaria. Then we have the silver haired maiden Miiarvanthalu Vanb'Rianthei who is the sister of the mysterious fourth girl Siianthaliae Axthrusia Vanb'Rianthei. I never thought I'd meet the two famous Sisters of Chaos who helped bring an end to the Great Elian War many years ago. It's truly an honor." 'Shut up." One of the girl's remarked not at all amused by the comments made by Aodeos. The girl's then drew their weapons and looked like they were about to enter combat when Aodeos shook his head. "I think it's time you girls cooled your hot heads before someone gets hurt." He said amused as he pointed in the direction of Malice's new captive Chloris. "You wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her, now would you? Don't worry, you'll get your fight, but you'll have to be patient and wait like good behaved women." "Take the girl inside, Malice. We will handle this. They'll play nice as long as they know you have the girl and if they make any move I'll warn you. After that, take her with you and do what ever you please with her." He spoke toward Malice as the four girls didn't take any steps forward or try anything heroic. Even the slightest mistake they knew could wind up getting Chloris hurt or even killed at worst. They knew that Luther would dread that day if it came and wouldn't cease until he was dead and joined her or until the one who took the essence from her life was dead. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "You may rise." Erialyss said toward Alexander. She didn't want him to think that he had to stay on his knees all the time since he wasn't one of her servants. It was respectable to honor and dignify those who were royalty, but one didn't need to feel the burden to humiliate themselves in order to achieve that. "I will also hold you to your word. As the Queen, I must say I'm honored to meet you and that now we are working in collaboration toward a resolution which will bring an end to this silly war between Guardia and Rudoria. The Guardian-Rudorian War must be stopped, but I cannot get involved or that will tarnish the neutrality and reputation of the Kingdom of Windgrace; however, if Meira were to rise to the throne and assume her status it would help us to ally with her and provide her with aid. I know it sounds like we are using her social status to our own salvation, but we really aren't. Though you may take that way if you wish. Do you have anything else to inquire from me, Sir Alexander? That is before I retire to my bedroom?" Erialyss queried since she didn't want to dismiss himself without answering all the questions he might have and do her best to give him the answers he was looking for if she could. It was the least she could do for his Order when he traveled so far to get to her location. The fact the Order he came from and her were close was enough reason for her to put her faith and trust into him. She knew that he wouldn't disappoint her. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Meira's hands were covered in blood that she gotten from her grandfather's clothes and the wound which was still bleeding badly. She didn't understand why he didn't at least let her treat it, but when he asked her to return home she refused at first. Telling her not to worry and that he would live to see her coronated before he died she made him promise her. After she made him make that promise toward her she got up from the seat she was sitting on and left the park. She wasn't in the mood for any of the sights and started on her way back to the manor. She took his sword with her which she gripped tight with her hand despite them being covered in his blood. If anyone saw her they'd ask her how her hands got bloody. She needed to hurry back as quickly as possible and try not to alert Ranathia that there was trouble she ran into earlier. She began walking steady but fast down the sidewalk as she passed by the sights she enjoyed earlier, but now was ignoring. "Why..." She said under her breath as she continued to walk in the direction of her manor. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Luther had finally reached an area where the ring was really starting to resonate. He then gracefully trying to hide there was trouble by the face he hid under walked toward the door of the place that the ring was resonating to. He was reluctant to knock on the door since he knew he would be leading this boy right into a trap. A trap set by that devious woman, but if he did not obey harm would come to Chloris. Despite his resistance to knock on the door he did so and called out to the person living there, "Nathan, it's Luther and I know it's strange I come here and impose on you, but it's urgent. Someone's life is on the line and I must speak with you immediately." He said as he knew how pathetic his words sounded. He hated getting other people involved in his own problems, but this time there was no alternative. He noticed the person who lived here was probably a poverty stricken child since the shack was all run-down and only someone who hardly had any money would live in such a dump. "I'll repay you after you help me rescue her."

Take a look at this then. Luther revealed toward Nathan a ring that the woman had given him earlier showing it to him closely. "All I know is that she gave me this ring and wants you to come. This ring is how i found you." He paused momentarily showing Nathan more closely and allowing him to examine the ring before he decided to put it away. He couldn't give Nathan the ring yet. Not until Chloris was safe, but for now he'd hold onto it until they returned. "Anyway, She said it had to be me and she has taken Chloris hostage so the only one who I could naturally ask for help is you. It's most likely a trap so we better prepare ourselves for the worst." He said as he tried to persuade Nathan to come with him. If he wouldn't do it for his reasons then perhaps the ring would give him a better reason to go with him. Luther knew it was a trap and was very aware that the woman who was holding his girlfriend hostage was not someone that you should underestimate. If she worked with Aodeos then she was probably just as dangerous as his old friend was. "Look, the woman who is holding her captor said it had to be you. She's forcing me to do her own dirty work only, because she's working with a snake like Aodeos. I'll explain the rest later. We must hurry!" Luther explained as he started to walk back in the direction of where he had come from earlier. He wasn't going to completely take the same root back. In fact, he had a plan though he didn't want to say anything about it yet. He decided on parts of the route where he could actually take detours that would lead him to the back of the house could play a strategical advantage. If they could get behind the people who were causing problem then perhaps they could turn the tables and free Chloris in the process without having to give them anything in return. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Chloris followed the woman willingly into the house though she tried to reach toward her side to grab her father's dagger which was hidden. There was a special pouch that was built into her clothes that was able to hold it in case she got into these kind of predicaments. Her hands started to move slowly toward the pouch so she didn't arouse any suspicion toward the woman that she was up to something. If she could get the dagger then she could work on cutting her wrists free. Slowly making her hands toward the pouch she flipped it open and pulled out a slender short bladed small dagger which she took into her hands. She slowly and gently without alerting the woman she was up to something started to cut away at the ropes with its very sharp blade. "Lady Siia, it's been a long time since we last confronted each other." The sneer that beamed up across his face was enough to invoke the flames of enmity and discomfort for the other girls. They really did not like Aodeos, but they knew how very dangerous he was along with those who were affiliated with his cult. Aodeos was one of the most powerful cult leaders in existence though Siia knew he erased his very existence from records by using time jumping. An effective method toward avoiding detection on the chronological scale and making it completely look like you're nonexistent. It was a strategy that Siia had employed in the past to win the various wars she war when she used to be a strategist and advisor. It was really unknown why she was with three other women, but it was obvious they were all there for one reason and that was the AoD Cult leader. Siia ignored Aodeos humor where she brought herself to say to him while remaining calm and composed, "I don't really care about our past meetings.They only thing that is important to me at the moment is making sure you stop breathing. Until you do, I'll never be satisfied." "Such vulgar words from a heartless woman." Those words were enough for him to crack another grin at her which in return caused her face only to glower. This brought amusement toward Aodeos since he enjoyed to watch the heartless ice queen frown at him. He was very much turned on by her icy cold gazes that laser beamed across the room and the frigid smiles that could freeze like a Medusa. Her words were so forceful and passionate that it brought glee toward his humiliation he brought upon her. The pink haired girl wearing the skirt had a more serious look embracing her face and her eyes burning with the flames of indignation. He knew all too well about her painful lightning she wanted to bring force in brute force and punish those who dare use others like they were pawns, especially to force leverage upon others who they could forcefully use as servants holding leverage on them all the while. "You might think this is funny now, but you won't be laughing when we are done with you!" Melianth exclaimed as she drew her two swords into her and prepared herself to combat these people. The silver haired maiden turned her attention toward the other pink haired girl ordering her to follow the woman who walked off with the hostage. "Reala, pursue that reprehensible woman. Siia and I will hold the front from here. You must go right after that woman, because the girl she has in her clutches might be in real danger." Miia alerted Reala as the other three women were going to stay behind to deal with Aodeos and his cronies. Miia had heard about the history of that woman before and leaving that girl in her hands was really a bad idea. Since the girl was restrained that made it easier for that loathsome woman to control the situation. If they could surprise her from behind then perhaps they could make everything more favorable for them. "I'm on it!" Reala remarked as she jumped up on the roof and when Aodeos ordered his men to stop her that is when Melianth barred their path allowing her clear path toward getting to the back of the house. Reala made her way swiftly but with complete stealth toward the other side of the house while the other three battled Aodeos and his men. She was a bit worried about Melianth, but when she looked back she saw her wink at her which only made Reala nod and stay on task. Siia and Miia both stood right in front of Aodeos while Melianth confronted the member of his Ten Gods Wisemen Duress. Siia and Miia had rather very serious expressions on their face where Aodeos remained calm as ever. He didn't even flinch nor did he show any sign of fear or discomfort. He grinned at the thought of having to face two of what he thought were the most beautiful women he had ever seen. Miia had a beautiful personality while her sister Siia had all the looks and was more beautiful on the outside than Miia. "I must say, it's truly an honor to get to face the two Chaos Sisters." He remarked with a sneer that widened on his face as he drew his scythe chain hook into his hand. Duress had a very calm and composed look on their face too. They weren't at all taken back by the one many called the Holy Knight of Elia. They knew there were a lot of people out there who both loved and hated this person. Duress wasn't really a fan of them, but this was a challenge that was worthy of his recognition. Someone who would test Duress skill and make him have to utilize all his abilities to win. "So you're Meira's mother?" "Meira's mother? Who is Meira?" Melianth questioned not having any idea who that was and when she was distracted by that is when Duress attacked and managed to knock her off her feet, but when he tried to follow up she recovered where he stared at her with a smug look on his face. "Rule number one, don't become distracted. The fact I distracted you with that statement was enough for you to let down your guard."

Whizzle leaned on the railing of the building's second floor thinking where he should go after safely getting away from the hazard library, the borrowed tome balanced on the top of his head as he looked downward and saw Meira marching with a bloodied sword and hands. She looked upset, which he took as an invitation. "Oh, that's a familiar looking sword, did you partake in a pre-dinner robbing?" he said.

Chloris looks over toward a corner and notices a pink haired girl in hiding. She signals toward Chloris to duck when she tells her and cover her ears, because she holds a crimson ball in her hand which she is about to deliver to the ground with massive force. Right before she gets the signal she tries to warn Luther with her eyes about what is going to happen. Just at that time she manages to cut the ropes away on her chest as they fall to the ground where she is completely free. The only thing left is to remove the gag between her lips, but she can't do that yet without Malice suspecting something. Right when that happens she sees Reala deliver the ball created to the ground with massive force where she exclaims, "Howl like a banshee and impair their hearing! WIND HOWLER!" A small crimson ball of energy not meant to harm is delivered into the ground which screams and shrieks loudly like the deadly howling winds of a hurricane as Chloris finally plugs her ears then tilts her head back and butts Malice in the face then runs over toward where Luther is. Luther manages to plug his ears too as the sound is so violently that it can easily cause damage to the eardrum if a target listens to it for too long. Luther looks over toward Chloris as he grabs her asking if she is all right where she nods at him. She then grabs her sword which they stuck in a corner into her hand and stands with Luther and Nathan as Reala moves in position to block the front entrance toward the door outside. While she guards the entrance, Chloris is finally scene pulling her gag out of her mouth where it hangs around her neck like a necklace. She is relieved that everyone managed to get out of that in one piece.

I'm seriously not in the mood right now, Meira glowered. "Are you here to annoy me now? Right now I don't have time to bother with idle jokes. I must return to the manor and rest my head for a bit so if you don't have anything important to say then I'll be on my way." Whizzle raised his eyebrows and started to chuckle, even as Meria continued. "Also, this sword belongs to my mother's father and no I didn't steal it from him! Do you take me for a hooligan? Don't compare me to you! He's... he's... he's..." She started yelling. "Nevermind, it's not important!" It was at this point that Whizzle laughed, causing the tome on his head to fall down to the floor before he caught it. "Aww, how can you tell me that what I'm doing is not important when you yourself can't decide what is? Oh, maybe you're that sort of person that thinks everything and everyone not me are not important now? And how am I comparing you? I've always thought the only person you can compare yourself with is yourself," he said before faking a face of realization. "Ah, maybe you are comparing yourselves! Well, that's a bout of self-depreciation then, calling yourself a hooligan like that. Can't say that there wasn't a reason for it but hey, since I'm you, I should be able to remember it. Let's see..." Whizzle focused on Meira and concentrated as he proceeded in trying to pry open Meira's head and read her memories and thought. ----

Whizzle blinked to the girl that floated in front of him. He took a glance at Meira's direction, who had apparently slipped back inside. With a shrug, he returned his attention to the sole other person nearby that he could talk with. "Mo? Moneybag? If that is what you think of your friend, you have an issue," he replied flatly before trying to read Selest's mind as well. Although his attempt now was more of a playful pokes to test her defenses. "Besides, it just shows she needed more training in this department."

At the time of the explosion, the three other girls had taken their fight up into the sky completely evading the explosion that occurred earlier. They didn't even notice that Chloris had been rescued at the time which was who Luther and Reala were both holding back from foolishly attacking the dangerous man Miia and Siia were both facing off against.le Earlier it was revealed by her that he had murdered her parents, a fact that the two girls going up against him aren't aware of yet. Melianth is parallel from the two girls taking on Duress by herself. The fact Siia and Miia facing Aodeos make look like he has the disadvantage, but so far he has been able to hold his own in the fight. He has yet to display any weakness toward the two sisters who have been trying to figure him out to avoid his trickery. Melianth on the other hand is trying to determine a way to get close to damage Duress without having to leave herself wide open for a counter. She noticed when she tried to use Endless Massacre of Double Slashes which were lightning fast sword strikes that Duress manage to avoid them all that speed alone wasn't enough to defeat Duress. If she were to get a decisive strike she would have to find a way to get Duress to drop her guard or try to force her to get aggressive. The problem was Duress was a defensive type fighter and wouldn't attack unless you attack her first. This made it even more difficult to figure out a way to get around her defense. Generating energy into her sword Melianth heads toward the ground which confuses Duress. Duress doesn't quite know why Melianth went toward the ground where they followed, but when she touched the ground that is when Melianth went on the offensive. Melianth took her sword and slashed out twelve earth burrowing swordwaves that moved in all directions in order to surround Duress making escape difficult. "Interesting." Duress said impressed as she noticed Melianth managed to force Duress to start getting offensive due to the change in her strategy. Duress swung her chain-link sword around striking all of the earth burrowing shockwaves, but Melianth caused them to disappear when she thrust her sword into the ground deep. Duress didn't quite know what Melianth was up to. The fact she made the waves disappear caught Duress by surprise. She didn't know if the attack was just a ruse or if she was up to something. Melianth's sword was stuck in the ground which was a golden opportunity to attack her. "I don't know what you're trying to pull, but now your guard is down!" Duress yelled as she made for a straight toward Melianth. Melianth didn't move at all while he was coming straight at her. She was anticipating this where she waited patiently for what she was about to do. When Duress tried to strike Melianth she immediately let huh slip out of her mouth when Melianth did a backflip backward. "I won't miss twice!" Duress yelled as she tried to wrap Melianth up with her chain-link only to have her vanish in thin air. "What kind of trickery is this?" She questioned to notice that Melianth extracted her sword and had said the words Requiem Force Reverse Parallel. Duress grinned knowing full well where the attack was coming from when she saw the swordwaves coming at her. She jumped into the air and her eyes became big when Melianth grinned the words 'got you' is when she was hit with a barrage of them. Her attack exploded which sent Duress sailing toward the ground after the explosion cleared sending her right into the house that was still standing just barely. Miia pulled out one of her Elan bomb when Aodeos managed to knock Siia off balance throwing it right behind him. Aodeos didn't even see the attack coming where she detonated it which knocked him backward hitherto he used the energy from his aura to recover. Miia asked Siia if she was okay and she nodded at her that she was fine.

So...any chance you know something about this guy? Like how he fights or something? I really don't like to go into a fight blind, so any Intel would be really appreciated. Nathan said toward Reala as she tried to think closely about how Aodeos fought. She remembered her mother explained to her that Aodeos was both an offensive and defensive type of attacker who used strategy and planning to best hist targets with. Melianth warned her that he was very dangerous when on the defensive as he used people's attacks against increasing the power and damage that can be accumulated by them. "Aodeos is a really hard to predict strategist that uses his own strategies to overwhelm his opponents with. Attacking him carelessly will cause him to stay defensive and if you leave an opening he'll take advantage of it meaning letting down your guard means he'll go on the offensive. So the type of attacker he is you can say he's a strategist kind. Yes, he would send your attacks back at you, but with a catch. He absorbs your attack increases the power of it and returns it to you with even more destructive power than it originally had." Reala revealed toward him as she saw Siia and Miia were still just standing there and that Aodeos wasn't taking any action at all either. The three looked serious though Aodeos a bit amused since that same grin he always wears is still implanted on his face. Duress just stares from below on the sidelines as she knows she is in no condition to be fighting anymore after taking damage from Melianth's attack. "Ready whenever you are ladies." Aodeos grinned at them as he also turned one blind eye to see Reala and Nathan had emerged from the structure that had been just destroyed. He remained on guard while he strategized once again to help him determine the right strategy for fighting these people.

Alexander saw Meira reach for her weapon, but stop. "There is no need to violence. I just wish to speak to you." he then walked inside as proper when he was invited in. "Why, you act like you never heard of the Order of Paladins, we have been standing strong for generations, and I can also see you're a bit skeptical. I guess this is a bit unorthodox, trying to align with a kingdom that hasn't even been properly formed let. But, we do have our reasons for such haste. "Darkness is coming to Holyoke. I am not referring to the armies of Guardia and Rudoria, petty wars are bound to happen and normally sort themselves out. However, the Order has detected much eviler forces at work. Things of witchcraft, treason, and cults, and possibly things that not even I have been informed about, possibly even outside of the knowledge of my superiors. When the evil is at Holyoke's door, the Order plans to be ready."

Hahahahah, you still don't get it, do you? The strange man grinned as he activated his glyph and detonated both glyphs into the sky. When the glyphs exploded they let black aura pour out of them as he continued to laugh letting the flames consume him. "You managed to defeat my toy? How amusing. You put on enough of a show for me today. Besides, one death only means another born anew. I'll continue to be reborn until you figure out what is going on, ahahahah!" Only problem was even when he had been consumed by the flames, he was still laughing. This was an indication to the group that the version of Aodeos they fought was a humuculus. Siia and Miia both were confused until it hit them about that technique he had used earlier. They noticed a slight difference in the one that he was about to use on Nathan. He never snapped his fingers when they attacked him with Sadistic Masochist which meant at that time he swapped places with a humuculus. They figured that out when he phrased 'one death only means another born anew' which indicated that that this Aodeos was a humuculus he created. Miia and Siia both examined the area noticing that there was no one else around other than Reala and Melianth who were on the ground. They turned their heads to notice that the girl Melianth fought earlier named Duress had disappeared. Both girls knew there was something strange about that Aodeos, because of the way it used its magic. Both knew Aodeos never snapped his fingers when using a spell or technique since he never needed to. Both thought to themselves while trying to collect the rest of their thoughts. So if this one is an obvious fake? Then where did the real one go? Something about that technique he used on us earlier doesn't add up. He never projected a portal behind him. Which means he switched himself out sometime before that attack took place. Meaning there's another person who is here that is unaccounted for. But who? They both question in their mind as they survey the area. The sky starts to laugh as the voice fades away, "I'll leave you all to try to figure out what just happened. But I know for a given fact that you'll never figure it out. Hope you had fun with my puppet. We shall meet again." Those were Aodeos final words before the voice went silent.

Now that the fight was over, the four girls separated going their separate ways for now. Siia, who was the youngest of the group appearance wise, decided to head into the marketplace and pick up the bread she ordered. She didn't like the part of town she picked the bread up from, because it was known to have some really bad people at times. That part of town was known for the scum who liked to sexually harass women. When Siia went strolling by the group that earlier was flirting with girls and sexually harassing they decided to follow the pretty little teenage girl wearing an angelic white dress that flowed down toward her knees. Siia walked over toward the place where she picked up her bread. Though when she got to the place she noticed the original clerk wasn't there. She was a bit curious why he wasn't there since everytime she picked up her bread he was there. She didn't really want to say anything to the smelly guy who she could smell from where she was, but she wanted her bread so she decided to approach him regardless of his pungent stench. The guy had a wide grin as he approached where he greeted her like any normal clerk, "How may I be of service to you, missy?" The fact the man just called her "missy" made her frown. Never has anyone called Siia "missy' before and this was certainly a first. She was starting to suspect something fishy was going on, but unless in self-defense she wasn't allowed to utilize her magic. "For one it's not "missy" and two I came here to pick up my order." Siia sighed at the man bored by how he was trying to impede her by addressing her like what she would call a moron. She handed him the money anyway where he handed her the bread. Little did she know that the man behind the counter had changed the price on the bread she bought. When she tried to walk away three other smelly individuals stopped her from leaving. The man at the counter was yelling at her as she turned her attention toward him. "HEY, YOU BITCH! You think you can short change me and get away with it?" Siia turned around while she placed her hand near her sword just in case the three hooligans behind her tried to creep up on her. She frowned where her a serious expression lit up on her face and her eyes became fiery when she looked at the fact someone had modified the price after she had left. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL!" Siia yelled at the man as her voice echoed in the vicinity. She knew the man had changed the price and that he wasn't the owner of the store. She was a bit curious how he was running the shop. Before she could ask he peered right into her ice with a sinister grin on his face, "Why don't you just take off that dress and we'll call it even?" Siia was enraged when he tried to get her to take off her dress. She knew the man was being a pervert. She couldn't do anything since they weren't doing anything illegal and if she drew her weapon she would be in the wrong. She thought dammit in her mind, because of the fact this man was playing her for a fool. The man became impatient where he signaled toward his men to surround the girl so she could not escape. "I think I told you to take your dress off, so do it already!" This time he climbed over the counter and grabbed her arms suspending the above her head and pin them against a wall. "Are we going to do this the easy way or do you want me to do this the hard way and get rough?" "Get your hands off me, you pervert!" Siia yelled as the man had her hands pinned up against a wall suspended above her head with one of his hands. He grinned as he sniffed around and enjoyed the essence that came off her. The man once again demanded, "I'll let you go when you pay me the rest of what you owe. You can either give me your dress or I'll take the money out of you another way. So what is it going to be?" His grin became even more wide since he would get his way either way. Siia was furious, but there was nothing she could do while she was in the position she was in. She couldn't even bring her leg up to kick him, because he pinned her against the wall tight. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "If he wishes to speak to me alone then I will honor his request." Meira said as she looked over toward Ranathia who was very upset and threw herself up from the table not liking how she had to trust this person she hardly knew. Though if that is what her liege desired she would honor her wish even if she didn't like it. She didn't want to do anything to displease the one she was meant to protect. Meira felt a little guilty telling Ranathia to leave. She knew that Ranathia was very upset and that she was probably going to vent out her later for her decision, but this person might have valuable information. She knew Ranathia didn't trust anyone that she didn't know despite their social status, but knowing it was a knight from an order made Meira put her faith in him and listen to what he had to say. Perhaps she could learn something from all this. Ranathia walked away from her seat with a very serious look on her face. She stopped for a moment in front of Alexander and placed her hand down near him as she faced to face to face. She intended to let him know how she felt about having to leave as she ordered her maid into the other room with her dish. "If her highness wishes to speak to you alone I will honor her wishes, but I'm not doing this for you. Don't get any ideas that I am getting friendly with you, because I'm not. I don't know about this order or if you're a reputable knight nor do I care right now. I trust no stranger that waltzes in this house especially foreigners." She paused for a moment as she drew her blade and let it rest on the table, Meira was about to object where Ranathia gave her a gesture that she wasn't going to do anything. Just let this person know that she wouldn't tolerate anyone using her liege for their ambition. "I will warn you, if you are using or planning to bring harm to the princess I will cut you down where you stand without blinking an eye. Do I make myself, clear? Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go see if my informant has returned from Guardia." Those were her final words as she sheathed her sword and walked away with a very disturbed and suspicious look that was on her face.

The words "ah great" were enough to disturb Selest's mind. She felt bad for coming uninvited due to the fact the boy inside sounded very tense for some reason. From the sound of it as Selest took into comprehension each word he spoke, it sounded like he wasn't having the best of days. She didn't know if she should introduce herself or leave. When she thought about leaving she shook her head saying to herself that would be rude. He did come all the way to greet her at the door though she was a bit nervous to actually meet with the man. His tone alone made her unsettling where it was hard to think and even more difficult for her to speak toward Nathan. He probably wanted to know how she knew his name, but she knew even if she were to tell him that he wouldn't believe her anyway. Her mood shifted to an apologetic one once she learned that Nathan wasn't too happy about her presence. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your peace. Perhaps I should come back another time." She said in a troubled tone since it was obvious the girl was flustered about something. She didn't really make it clear what was bothering her, but judging by her body language and movements let alone the tone in her voice was enough to give hint that she was feeling very uneasy at the time.She tried to hide part of her face to prevent him from ever noticing and looked at him with one eye.

There's no need to apologize, because I completely understand. If it's all right with you then I think I'll come in. Selest responded as she nodded her head at Nathan feeling a bit more relaxed. This time she didn't feel much like a burden anymore. She saw there were no chairs so she concentrated her energy creating a magic glyph where her book started to glow and the symbol disintegrated into a very fancy looking chair which she used to take a seat in. "I thank you for your hospitality. I'm a bit thirsty, think you could get me a glass of water?" Selest asked as she situated herself so she was comfortable in the chair. When she became comfortable she decided she would at least tell him who she was. It would probably just be better if she gave him her first name due to the fact he would ask questions she couldn't answer if she told him her last name. It was obvious earlier that Whizzle didn't believe her when she said her last name was Rosenau. Which was very true since Rosenau were the family who ruled over the Lumina Kingdom. However, she did take refuge in the Lumina Kingdom and was treated like a daughter of their own by the royal family when her mother passed away. "I'm so sorry, I've been too caught up in thought that I forgot to tell you my name. My name is Selest. It's nice to meet you." She smiled as she thought to herself from the images she saw. My, the pictures I saw of Nathan were no lie. He certainly was a strapping young lad back then. I can't believe that same man I saw from then was this dashing. It's truly amazing. I probably shouldn't meddle in the affairs of others while I'm in this realm since it might cause a paradox. She continued to think to herself that she should keep her visit strictly business and not fraternize with Nathan or it may cause a a problem with the space-time continuum fabric which her mentor Siia had warned her about earlier. "You're probably wondering why I'm here. I'm here with an important message and to prevent a disaster from happening. I know the preordained future that has been written as I can see the many possibilities of futures and know which ones will become reality in this realm. I know you probably don't believe me, but during the coronation a great catastrophe will befall many people who loved by many which will plant the seeds of war. Windgrace is in grave danger of entering into an all-out war with the entire world. We must prevent that from happening and that is why I'm here now. Someone within the Erewhon Pavilion wants revenge on the nobles of Windgrace and their plan is to cause a great tragedy which will erupt in a massive war which could destroy the Kingdom of Windgrace. There was also a resignation letter by the Queen, but it isn't signed by her. The Queen in power right now is nothing more than a puppet queen. The real Queen went missing a long time ago, but the nobles tried to cover it up using a puppet queen. Other organizations are taking advantage of the opportunity by using the puppet queen to put into play their schemes. Stay close to Lady Meira and never leave her side. Someone this time is going to try to kill her this time. I don't know who but I pursued them once I learned they came back to this event to make sure she dies. The resignation by the Queen is a farce. It was signed by a fake queen and the coronation is just one huge death trap. If you don't believe me then ask Ranathia about the documents she has from the EP that one of her sources retrieved for her. The master scheme is inside there, but the one trying to cause Meira's death is not. I beg of you, please protect Meira. If she dies, all hope is lost."

Huh, weirdo, Whizzle muttered as he watched Selest walked away. He then looked at the tome on his hand. "Oh well...." Whizzle scratched his chin before following suit and wandered toward the city to get some foods to accompany his reading. As much as the girls cooked for just the two of them and probably for their servants, Whizzle never liked carrying plates of food around, not to mention he probably should find something to carry the book with. It didn't take too long for him to get himself a sling bag that he used to put the book in and he walked around to find a food store. His legs stopped in front of a bakery and, after a moment of thought, entered the shop. Only to find himself staring at a man holding a girl to the wall at the other end of the store. Making a low whistle, Whizzle glanced at the empty cashier before looking at the pair of lovers again. "So...heh, is the store still open or should I came back later?" he asked. ----- Alice looked up from her mostly eaten food and blinked at noblewoman who took a seat besides her and asked a question afterward. It was obvious to her that the noblewoman wouldn't take a no for an answer and Alice inwardly sighed. "No, it is not," Alice said while looking at the woman. She was almost finished with her food, so it's not like she has to linger around for whatever the noble was thinking.

Selest looks at Nathan surprised when he asks her to wait there. Not that it didn't tickle her annoyance a bit, but she was a bit surprised that he would ask a person who he denied having any relation with to wait instead of dismiss them like every other person in the future did when it came to her mother. Selest gave off a deep sigh, but awaited patiently for Nathan to return. She looked around in his house to notice it was pretty bare and rundown. She didn't quite understand why Nathan who worked for the military continued to live in a dwelling that provided just the necessities when he could live in a house like her mother did when she worked for the Windgrace government before she was coronated with her mother's crown. A crown she received from a girl who helped train Selest along with a mysterious cold and very quiet woman named Siianthaliae. Selest shook her head at the thought of Nathan's bare house whispering to herself that he is such a fool. Not only was he responsible for the event she could not forgive him for, but he thinks himself lowly when he descends from a very wealthy family line and she is sure his descendants wouldn't want to see him like this. He definitely knew how to make her upset over him putting himself down feeling sorry for himself. She wanted earlier to yell at him for apologizing for what his adult self did which did anger Selest though she hid it inside herself trying not to let even her eyes show that it irritated her. Selest patience was about to give until he returned with a set of swords which Selest known as the twin blades of the Ereseal family. When he offered her the swords she was a bit caused by surprise thinking that he valued those blades, because they were the only part of his parents he had left to remember them by. She sighed as she looked at blades then reached into her pocket and gave him an old photo that was faded, but on one side contained a picture of Nathan's parents and the other side contained a picture of Selest's parents. She ran her hand across the blade examining while she handed him the photo. "You really are hopeless. Running away from your past, because you're offering me these swords and now denying who you are. What makes you think my mother judged people by how wealthy they are? Are you trying to insult what my mother fought for in my future!" Selest raised her voice as you could see the anger in her eyes burn full of hatred. Something was bothering her that she didn't tell him. Her eyes looked like they were on fire with anger as she peered at Nathan was tired of hearing his excuses. Selest stood up reached over and picked Nathan up into the air by his shirt despite being a very feminine built figure. She generates destructive energy into her fist which causes the reality around her to slightly distort itself. She had used the technique several times in the past and had learned the Explosive Vise technique from Ranathia who was a mastermind when it came to fire and destructive capabilities of the element. Ranathia had trained Selest on how to use the explosiveness of the fire element and use that power as a very destructive force by compressing it tight, with her fist the trigger when it came into contact with a very solid object. She wanted to strike him with the fist, but Ranathia warned her that hitting organisms with the attack would result in certain death especially if their guard was completely down. She instead struck the chair she created with her fist which exploded when it came into contact with the chair incinerating it into nothingness and Selest turned around releasing Nathan and then shielded him from the chain reaction that ensued though it was more of a reaction that she had no control over. "You are so pathetic." "Why do you deny the fact you are my father? Are you too good for me? You fool! Are you abandoning my mother! Father you are such an idiot!" Selest yelled as she turned her attention toward the swords that Nathan had given to her. She closely examined the blades more closely as she tried to distract herself from getting angry. She didn't want to waste her time calling her father out for how stupid he was since it would just be repeating what happened between the two in the past. She took her hand and activated a hidden glyph on Ragnadaim which caused the blades to transform into a pair of knuckles. "Even then you were to stupid to figure out that Ragdnadaim could transform into any weapon the user desired. Since you enjoy using your fists like a brute, here." She paused as she handed back a pair of fancy looking metallic like knuckles back to Nathan before she continued. "These might be more suitable for you. Since you like to use your fists this weapon is more of what represents your character. I don't want Ragnadaim and if you want to abandon your past then don't throw it on me. It's obvious you don't care about me. Just like in the future you are no different than you are now which makes me sick. I can't stand looking at you. If you want to die that badly then use the same technique I did and punch yourself with those knuckles. It's obvious you see me as nothing more than a burden and never cared about me. I guess the future was doomed from the very beginning when you abandoned your resolve." Selest concluded as she slowly walked away from her father trying to hold back the tears that were about to reveal themselves in her eyes. It was obvious the girl was heartbroken by Nathan and was even more annoyed by the fact Nathan had not really changed that much from who he was in the past. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Siia looks over toward Whizzle and frowns at him for just standing there. The man uses his free hand and clamps it over her mouth to prevent her from screaming. He then turns around and faces Whizzle nodding at him, "I had to detain a customer, because she was getting in over her head. She tried to assault me so I took it into my authority to restrain her." He said in a trying voice though you could notice by the tone in his voice that he was obviously lying. Siia looked over toward Whizzle hoping that he wouldn't beleive such an idiot, because if he did she might just have to explode and tear the roof off the building. As undesirable as it sounds, she waited to see what Whizzle was going to do while shaking her head trying to force the man's hand off of her mouth which he had it clamped over tight. "Now move along, little man. There's nothing to see here and we don't need your help. You might get hurt if you stick around." The man grinned as his cronies walked in Whizzle's direction and stopped in front of him with intimidating looks on their faces. They cracked their knuckles as they prepared to pounce on the suspecting individual if they didn't leave, "Yo heard our boss. Get lost, wimp otherwise these muscles of ours are going to turn you into a prune."

Selest heard Nathan ask her to wait as she walked off where she decided to stop and turn around once again facing him. When she turned to face him again she noticed he was crying. She remembered that he asked her if he was her real father, but she didn't answer him. She decided that she would answer him this time. "Yes, you are my real biological father. That picture is proof of that." When he asked if he was crying she sighed and said yes. She then walked back over toward him and pulled his head up toward her eyes which were two different colors. One eye was the color of her mother which was blue, but her other eye was very strange looking which was an orange reddish color. She wanted Nathan to look at her eyes. Perhaps he might try to at least understand himself better and stop being so afraid of his power within him. Selest was the same way in the past and she knew that it only brought her pain and sorrow. "Look at this eye." She pointed at which was an orange reddish color. She wanted him to know about the truth of what happened to her and the price she paid for doing it. "I was the very same as you, father. But it brought me nothing other than suffering.I couldn't even protect those dearest to me and they all died protecting me. And for what? This eye is the price I paid for my carelessness. I traveled back into time when I made an agreement with an entity known as Cinis otherwise known as the Voice of Origin. I had to exchange one of my blue eyes for its eyes which was the Eye of Chaos. It was the only way I could travel back into time and ascend destiny without causing a paradox. This eye grants me safe haven from both, but it doesn't mean I can't die. Just that I am not connected to your Universe yet, because I don't exist physically yet. The place I came from is a very unpleasant future." She added as she pulled the back of her shirt to reveal some scars she had been dealt that look like something clawed at her back. "These scars were caused by the abominations that have been sealed away called demons. The deities hid the existence of demons and this being called Cinis locked all them and everything that is really bad inside the Netherworld. The Pandora's Box is going to be opened during your lifetime and we cannot allow that. I'm the last hope in my time since everyone else has died."

Ranathia looked at Alexander a bit offended when he insisted that he didn't quite trust her. This was quite an insult to Ranathia considering the fact she protected Meira's mother Melianth during the times where Ariesu tried to bring destruction toward the Universe. For him to think that she would not protect her own daughter did not sit well for Ranathia, but when she was about to say something about it after trying to trust Alexander she noticed Alexander had caught someone eavesdropping on them. She was a bit concerned if they were listening in on her conversation she was having earlier. Such information was dangerous in the wrong hands where she had to act opening the brown wooden rectangular door and turning the slender egg shaped door knob as she opened the door and took in the fresh air she felt on her lungs as she walked outside toward this individual. She approached the person who was dog like in appearance carefully keeping her hand near her weapon in case they were hostile. Ranathia didn't draw her weapon as she felt Meira would not like that. When she was about to ask the individual a question she noticed Meira had interrupted her asking her what was going on. Meira was unsure on why this person was there, but she did have a few questions of her own. "Who is this person, Ranathia?" Meira questioned toward Ranathia as curiosity lit like a candle burning inside her mind. Ranathia shook her head and replied simply, "I don't know." She had a calm casual tone, but a serious cautious look on her face and in her eyes as she approached this person. She was a bit hesitant approaching the person since she saw they were male. The opposite gender made her feel a bit uneasy and she could feel a trickle of that inside her body. Not enough of it to really give an impression she felt that, but it did trouble her a bit. "Who exactly are you and what are you doing here?" Ranathia paused for a moment as she rested her hand gently on her blade stepping closer to the dog like figure. "I can sense that you are not an enemy. I don't sense any negative vibe about you, but still I'm rather curious why you chose to look around a place like this?" She questioned as she awaited his response to her question. Meira remained quiet, but did notice some movement in one of the trees toward the back of her house. She thought she saw an individual inside the tree where she did get a glimpse of what looked like a white piece of clothing which looked like a dress. "Curse you, Sentius... This curse makes it hard for me to travel around and if I come down my sister will just make fun of me. I hate looking like this and not having all my wisdom..." The girl complained as she stayed hidden out of sight in the tree observing the situation and also noticing her sister Miia was peering on the group from a distance on the ground standing in front of the gate. "This is private property owned by the Rystaliuskal family. You are trespassing and as an officer I have to take action. I will not arrest you or give you a citation if you give me a legitimate reason why you're here." Ranathia added as she thought it rather strange that he got by security unless he passed through the gate during the shift change. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Nathan tried to get her attention asking, "...wait. My parents are dead, they have been for almost a decade now. So how could this picture exist? Not only that, but it looks old...really old. Just...when was this taken?" Selest stopped but she didn't know how old the photograph was. Her father never told her how old the photo was, but did call it his lucky charm that kept him going entrusting it to her when he sacrificed his life to shield her from harm. She wasn't sure what she should tell Nathan and what to tell him since there are some things that are better off left unknown. If she revealed his fate in the future him then it would trouble him, but if she were to reveal the woman he marries which was her mother dies protecting them both then he might not know how to handle it. The picture was a reminder that she was not alone no matter how far those who she loved were away from her to never return. She was a bit disappointed as she shook her head since she had to reveal that she didn't even know when that picture was taken; moreover, she didn't even know when the flip-side was taken. "I'm sorry, I don't know the answer to that question, but an apocalypse is brewing as we know it and this our only chance to prevent it. You are not alone in finding it hard to believe someone like you marries my mother, but that just shows you how much of a heart she has. Do not break her heart or I'll break your neck. If you are never to marry and I am to die then I'll at least die reassured I got vengeance on the man who broke her heart." Selest threatened as she turned her face away from him and started to make her way out of the house. She had overstayed her welcome and he might try to ask her more questions she could not answer. All she could is tell him what was safe. It wasn't like she wanted to keep secrets, but they may impact the events that are supposed to follow. She was hoping that her influence had no impact on how Nathan and Meira met so she could later be born. "I must be on my way. Do not disappoint me, father. I will never forgive you if you do. Keep mother safe and happy, that is all I ask of you." She said with her back turned as she made her way out the door and walked away from Nathan's house. She wanted to stay to reveal what was about to happen and how it impacted the current future, but she feared it might affect the fact Meira and Nathan meet which in turn would cause her to cease to exist. It was better if there were things he didn't know.

Andrew looked around trying to expand to his little fib until he took a closer look into the people souls who where in front of him. Mostly notable, was that the girl who was the security guard had no soul, and the other guard in armor and the noble girl also had very strange souls that seem to just ooze power. "Ok, I have no idea what I got myself into but y'all, y'all aren't normal." he said, completely dropping his fake voice he put on to match his false persona of a journalist and put on his regular voice. He started to back up, easily breaking free of the holding spell placed on him and he materialized Sloth into his hand and shoot at Alexander, the sudden shock made it hard for him to speck as he dropped to his knees. "How about this. You leave me be and in a few hours I will go about my job and you probably never see me again. Beside, it looks you have bigger problems in your hand, there is a guy over there hidden and feels really strong, another person over there even stronger, and another person over there who I can't even tell how strong she is. So know, if you excuse me." he said, getting up and casually walking away while still trying to be hyper alert about what is behind him.

Fenrir was with the others at the coronation to his grimace, but Meira insisted he came. He never did like basically any from the upper-class class, granted, he doesn't really like all that many different types of people. However he did feel nervous about the Cimmeria's being here. He thought to himself, "Just keep your cool. I will get Meria to trust me and think I am just a dumb little kid she picked up off the street, I will get her to help me rescue the other werewolves they are keeping in Cimmeria and then I will gone and we will look for the others and then just find us a nice werewolf controlled place to settle down. I can't let this go wrong just because I lose my temper. My brothers freedom are way more important than petty revenge." However his thoughts were put on hold when he noticed Nathan. All he know about that person was his name and Fenrir could sense something wasn't quite right about him. He decided that talking to him might get his mind of Cimmeria for a while. He walked up to him and said, "What is you're deal. You look like you're going to punch a guy just if they poked you." He then took a moment to sniff the air, and some thing really didn't seem quite right with this Nathan fellow.

Unbeknownst to the Duke and Meira, one of the guest had also planned to ask for a private audience with the princess and decided to ambush her on the way back after the Duke finished his conversation with the princess. When the Duke headed back to the hall with a pleased look on his face but with no sign of the princess, it wasn't hard to guess that the duke had done something, especially when there're two armed guards guarding a room in an empty area. He almost stepped out to meet the guards and asked but decided not to upon realizing their tenseness. Something was up. Tapping a finger to his side, the noble considered his option, Should I inform Prime about this....hmmm. Inform me what? a disembodied voice echoed in his head without any warning. That a change of plan might be needed. he replied without missing a beat. .....The two bitches are here.....no changes on the plan. We make do whatever happen. The duke would make an awful choice. ....That concern is....secondary... Ah....you're going to help then?....Hello?.....Hmph, fine, don't answer. Finished with the quick conversation with no one, the noble walked away from his place and headed down. ----- Alice was still walking around to find the noble that lend her the dress she was wearing and noticed the sudden addition of guards stationed around the hall. She passes it on as the time for the coronation nearing and warily looked towards the center of the room. She had walked around the side of the room several times and had not found the noble yet, which meant it was likely that the noble was hanging around the center. Should she look there? No, that probably would attract attention to her. Might as well head to the doors then, Alice sighed.

Whizzle quietly overhear at the short exchange between Ranathia and the two Angelians. She wondered if the Angelian princess is a seer from how she send away her escort with such confidence. When the male Angelian turned and swept his sight around, Whizzle couldn't help but wave at him with a cheerful smile. ----- Unseen by naked eyes, a spirit wandered into the room that held Meira and Reala. The intruder took stock to the location of the people inside the room before floating around them all and passed an arm through them as he floated past. Each of them would felt a sudden wave of chill as the spirit read the recording of their soul.

As if she picked up his thought, Whizzle approached the Angelian. Still keeping her smile, Whizzle gave a greeting nod to him. "Greetings, I'm sorry, but I notice that you're looking quite alarmed while in the middle of a ball. Is something the matter or are you currently constipating?" ----- Alice looked at the guards' strange order before complying and turned back. She noticed that she wasn't the first to be turned around as some of the other guests seemed to take a glance at the door and its guards, as if expecting them to suddenly vanish and open. Looking closer, Alice noticed that one of the guests taking glances at the door was one familiar noble that she was acquainted with the night before. Biting her lip, Alice weighted her options. Should she approach the weird noble and ask whether she knew what happened or should she stay still and watch the guard? Her decision made, Alice took a deep breath and walked towards Melianth and her rather large group. After attracting their attention, Alice would gave a polite bow, particularly to Luhsein, whose face she noticed from news, and Melianth, the one she wanted to talk to. "I am sorry for my rudeness but..." Alice said as she looked up from her bow and paused mid-sentence as she saw that one of the group's member was the noble who put her in a dress, only differently clothed and different hair color. Alice's words was halted in her throat as she stared at the silver haired female noble. ---- The spirit watched the scene unfolding inside the room in mild irritation and slightly more amusement. Amusement as the bound girl on the bed had shown to be an aberration as he could not easily read her soul and soon after exhibited both knowledge of how to deal with the intangible spirits and that she owned a sword that could even affect him. No, not a sword, a holy sword meant to do just that. Irritation as the girl soon hid herself from his senses, leaving him alone with the ignoramus that called themselves guards. It would seem that 'siding' with Meira were the better choice as the guards rushed out after one of them was thrown outside to plummet to the ground. He wondered if he should made his move now, there were only a couple of guards left behind and if his thought is correct, they wouldn't be adequate to fight him off even if he took one of the guards' body and set them against each other. He might even be able to finish his business faster....Although that probably would attract some unwarranted attention.

Whizzle giggled at the apparent discomfort. "Aha, job obligations?" Whizzle smiled. She then clasped her hands together, "Mmm, maybe I could help if you're looking for someone? Or find a reason for you to step out?" ----- Alice sucked her breath as she was reprimanded and bowed an apology, "I'm sorry! But your twin sister put me in this dress and..." She trailed as her mind registered that the noble called her as a young girl as if she was much, much older than she looked. "And..uh, I'm looking for her..." ----- The spirit observed the room for a moment to see if there's anyone hidden still. Confident that no one else would enter or otherwise interrupt, he set his eyes to the guards and set to work, starting with the guards' leader.

Whizzle's smile stayed on her face as she went closer to the Angelian and invaded his personal space. "Aww, don't be like that, you'll find me helpful and nice if you let me help," she sweetly said and Mithos would find it hard to disagree with the argument. "I swear on my family name~" A new person decided to join in their conversation. Whizzle turn to find the person she was impersonating as dragging Alice. Whizzle noticed that she was called by name. She hid her confusion as she looked between the girl and Alice. Silence fell between them before Alice spoke first. "Uh, I'm sorry, what did you say her name is?" Alice asked. "She can't be Whizzle. I know him and he's neither a girl or has enough magic to disguise himself completely like that." ----------------------- Nathan would find someone stood on the door that he broke on his way in. Meira, if she's able to concentrate after, would notice that it was the leader of the guards but there were no signs of any of his underlings. Both of them would realize that he's far too pale for a human. "I...can't...let you do that," the guard slowly said. His voice however, sounded guttural.

To his surprise, Mithos noticed a familiar women in the corner of his eyes 'could it be?' he wondered. Making his way over to her, his suspicions were confirmed 'ah...so it is.' getting closer, he spoke to her "excuse me...Ranathia was it? I see that I'm not the only one getting a little tired of the festivities. Although I can't help but notice this...hostile atmosphere in the air. Would you by any chance know anything about it?"

Alice was left wordless as the noble said nothing and left in a pompous display of magic after shaking her head condescendingly. How? How could nobles can say whatever they want and think it was correct because they're the one that said it, no matter how nonsensical they were? She turned to face the Not-Whizzle apparent twin with an irritated look on her face, intent on berating the noble into dispelling the illusion on her. Another noble appeared and started talking before she had the chance to do so however. The older noble offered an apology on behalf of her younger sister, but Alice didn't hear any sincere tone behind it. "I guess it's something too important to ignore," Alice huffed. "It's not like I'm going anywhere else." A small chuckle came from beside her as Whizzle made an 'after you' gesture towards Miia.

The pink haired girl was forced back into the Material Plane, but she didn't know how her connection to the alternate dimensions was cut off unless someone really powerful was trying to get the jump on her. She fled from the area noticing a group of sinister individuals trying to approach her with intent to take her captive. "Where are all these people coming from?" She questioned in confusion as she tried desperately to find a place to hide so they could not find her. "I bet that evil cult everyone was talking about is behind this. I cannot let them find me. Using my power in this area would draw too much attention to myself."

The older captor walked out in front of the older one, as he did he quietly but loud enough to hear said, "Phi, just keep your mouth shut, I will handle this." to which the younger one replied, "Yes, supreme leader Iota. As you command." obviously drenched in sarcasm. The older one moaned, and continued to speak the person now in front of him, "We are returning Cimmerian property back to Cimmeria. If you want him so badly, you could try buying him, even though this savage is probably cost a million times the amount of worth your life is. I suggest you leave before this becomes an incident. We have to wait here for the transport to arrive."

The beast growled as Nathan drove towards it. The tackle staggered the beast backward before it balanced itself, Nathan was too light and too close to gather the needed momentum to topple the beast. As Nathan had his arms around the beast, he'd notice the beast was growing in size. It was also getting stronger as Nathan had started to being pushed back and down by the beast. Meira watched as Nathan fought the beast as she tried to come up with a plan to help Nathan deal with the menace. She knew full well that most of her arsenal was out of the question though she did have an idea which she heard her teacher Siianthaliae talk about. The only problem was she had not ever used a Unison before and she had no training in how to use synchronized moves. It was a large gamble, but with the stakes like they were she decided it was one she was willing to take. She looked over toward Nathan as she had finally come up with the perfect move to deal with the monster. She concentrated her energy at a fixed point then calmly toward Nathan, "Nathan, join with me into a Unison attack. We will combine our two moves to purge this impurity here and now!" Shoving the beast off to the side, Nathan got back up. "Wait...what?" he questioned Meira. He was a little lost. 'What the hell is a Unison attack? Gah, I don't have time to think about this.' He shook off his confusion and said to Meira "alright. Just tell me what to do" He was going to have to follow her lead, since not only had he never preformed a 'Unison attack' but he was also inexperienced fighting along side other people. Until she made her move, All he could do was keep this...this...thing away from her The beast was thrown off-balance and slid across the ground a few meters before stopping and recovered. The black scales had covered more of the formerly human body and the growth on its shoulder were larger as well and had a split formed over the top of each. With a snarl, the beast launched itself at Nathan once more, unheeding of whatever plan they're concocting. Meira just remembered she did not have her sword so her arsenal was limited until she heard a familiar voice that said "here" throwing her the sword which she caught with her hand. She was surprised to see that same girl she saw earlier who was captured alongside her. She knew when she got full glimpse of her that she was "You must be Reala?" "We can talk later. First we must deal with this beast first." Reala added as she landed on the ground right beside Meira. She moved into a defensive position as she saw Meira about to perform a technique. Meira positions her hand in the air as a magic circle forms below her feet. Her hand starts to flicker with a darkish spark as she starts to command a black flame in her hand. She shifts the circle over toward Nathan where he will along with Meira be engulfed with a blackish flame aura. "Ready, Nathan?" Meira questioned as she moved her hands into an attack position while putting her sword away for the time being. Normaly when he used fire, Nathan went for a large area of effect, so that the flames would spread faster. However since this creature didn't look as flammable as his normal foes, he opted for something different. Tuning out the strange girl who had just arrived (battles weren't really a good time to hold conversations), he released his flame all over his body, letting it mingle with the fire that Meira covered him in. Once the two were sufficiently mixed, he began to concentrate them into a single ball between his hand. This didn't take too long as he had a natural affinity for fire. It was not fast enough as the beast barreled into Nathan as he was trying to form the fireball. The flame covering Nathan was affecting the beast as unprotected flesh came in contact with the empowered flame. Even the beast's new scales wasn't enough to fully withstand it and they cracked under the strain. It still pressed on despite and attempted to maul Nathan with clawed hands. Meira and Reala's presence did not seem to register on the beast yet. "Oh no you do not!" Reala exclaimed as she charged at the beast with her sword attempting to make a direct hit with her sword in order to ram it so she could give both Meira and Nathan more time to prepare their move. "Take this! Spirit Buster!" She finished as she attempted to not only ram the beast, but with a powerful veil of light around her that would act as a shield when she made contact. Meira took the time to generate energy into her body and transfer the darkish flame aura around her to Nathan so they could finally deliver their cooperation attack. She let loose an enormous amount of her fiery aura as she sent it at Nathan to empower him with. "Use the Devil's Fire on him, Nathan! I'll transform into a Spirit and let you borrow my power to command it!" Meira exclaimed as her body started to illuminate where her appearance changed. Her body bathed a white leotard with a white skirt and some thigh highs and boots to go along with her new look. Also on her back appeared six wings which were each a different color. Reala's charge met some success as her sword dug into the beast's left side. She found that she was unable to penetrate any deeper than the tip of the sword even as the force of her charge dislocate the beast from trying to maul Nathan further. Snarling at its new opponent, the beast ignored the blade on its stomach and swiped at Reala. "No way!" She said in surprise. "I cannot believe it managed to survive that attack. Dammit, my sword is stuck and there's nothing I can do now, but pull back." She said in frustration as she released the handle of the sword as the beast tried to attack her then palm her two hands in front of her and used the excess force of her attack to propel herself backward out of harm's way before signaling to Nathan that his opportunity was now. "This is your one chance, do not let it slip away." Reala reminded him as she safely landed on her feet right beside Meira. Unfortunately the Spirit Sword Celesna was still stuck in the beast and she didn't have time to extract the sword without taking a hit. She knew that she could not let that sword fall into the wrong hands. Melianth had reminded her that the sword could be used as a conductor to control her power with should someone learn how to manipulate properly. Meira's energy started to emanate brightly as dark flames shrouded her entire a body and a giant black serpent like dragon wrapped itself around her loosely allowing her to use its power. Her eyes looked lifeless and she had no emotion on her face. She pointed at the beast for Nathan letting him know her power was ready for him to command. "Do you desire the power beyond the darkness?" Meira said strangely as she was not acting like herself at all. Things were quickly getting weirder and weirder. First there was this...thing, then this strange girl appeared, and then Meira suddenly started getting taken over by the weirdness itself. To be honest, Nathan was getting tired of it. "Nope, I'm good" he answered her, as he felt it was the only safe answer to give. Getting back up, he took the strange fire that she had given him, he poured it all into his fire and quickly reformed the fireball he failed to finish before...and then he ate it. His body began crackling with embers of both flames. "Let's get this over with" he said as he charged at the monster. Starting off his attack with a kick to the gut to knock it back, he followed up with a hard hook to the face, along with five more to the chest area. With his opponent dazed, he launched it up into the air with an uppercut. As it began to fall back down to the ground, he unleashed a flury of punches so fast, it looked like he had grown extra arms. The force of his attack was actually propelling the creature upwards. When his assault had finished and it began to fall back down again, he spun his body in place, forcing the flames inside of him into his fist as he drove it into the stomach of the monster. As his fist connected with it, all the fire that he had consumed exploded out of his hand, sending the creature flying. The beast collided against the castle's wall, unable to hold against the momentum the wall crumbled as the mass sped pass it before stopping against the wall on the opposite side of the hall it ended in. The blackened body sled down the wall down to its rear, a hole in the center of mass where Nathan hit it visible while Reala's sword still stuck to it on a sliver of flesh, smoke and the smell of burnt flesh raising from it. Yet for all the damage it received, the beast was clearly still alive as it twitched in its pitiful attempt to move. Its eyes shot unrestrained hostility towards those who came close yet its body refused to listen to its desire to brutally hurt them. Meira looked on as she saw the beast still moving despite the massive damage it had taken. Her expression had not changed ever since she transformed. While she still remained in her position behind Nathan, she peered into the beast's eyes trying to make contact with its heart. "I asketh this of you, thou wish to be released from the restraints that confine it to the everlasting misery that it bathes in?" Meira questioned toward the beast in a prophetic riddle tone as she still showed no sign of emotion on her face. Reala even knew something was different about Meira since she never acted like this before. The only people she knew who act like Meira are Lady Siia and her sister Miia. Neither of them were present and she sensed an otherworldly presence inside Meira which didn't feel anything like her. As Meira continued to look on emotionless thoughts revolved around in her head sending her state of mind into a rapid tailspin. "You know you want it. You know death is what it deserves. You know you're hungry for more. You know you want to devour everything you love. Do not resist your desire to destroy. Annihilate and devour everything around you!" The voice said to her, but Meira while in a struggle with her mind shook her head with a look of disbelief. She wasn't sure what to do. Not even sure if she should even listen to the entity. While Meira was still in the state of confusion, something took control of her body and started to speak toward her as she had flashbacks of her foster parent's death spiraling around in her mind. "You killed them, Meira. This is what you are. You are an Angel of Destruction hellbent on annihilation. You and I share the same resolve of wanting to devour all of existence. Entrust yourself to me and I shall release you from the misery of your painful memories. You will have to suffer no more." "Do not listen to that voice, Meira. That voice is of the all-ending entity that only wishes to return everything to the void of nothingness. I know you better than this. You do not wish to hurt others. You'd even be harming innocents. Stop listening to that voice!" Reala pleaded toward Meira hoping that her persuasion might snap Meira back to her senses. Somehow she knew something had taken over her spirit form, but she wasn't sure what. She did sense a very evil and ominous aura from the presence of this being. Meira continued to struggle to find herself despite hearing Reala's words loud and clear. She still had visions of the nightmares of the girl that looked like her who massacred her foster family. This girl was grinning as she was saturated in blood licking the blood off a blade that looked just like Meleitling. "What if I did really kill them? Am I no different than those who I despise? Am I a hypocrite caught in my own web of misery?" She questioned toward herself inside her mind as she tried to find some answer to give clarity to what was going on. A voice pierced the area as it spoke directly toward Nathan sounding unconvinced. "Do you actually think you can save her from herself, foolish boy? What makes you think you can stop her? You cannot even control your own power yet you feel emboldened to protect this girl? Don't make me laugh you sorry excuse for existence. Just kill her. It is the only way to prevent the catastrophe that is written in the prophecies. Do that, and you will be a hero. Isn't that what you want? To make a name for yourself? To be someone? Answer me boy!" Nathan had thought that taking down that strange monster would end the weirdness, he was wrong. When voice from nowhere began to speak to him, he just sighed and took it in stride 'this is going to be my whole day isn't it?' Resigned to this, he answered the voice "clearly you're mistaken; I don't care if I'm a hero or even a somebody. So there's no way I'm going to kill someone who hasn't done anything yet. Also, I find it odd how hard you're trying to convince me to kill her. I'm starting to wonder if you're the one who's going to cause this catastrophe you just mentioned, and that with Meira dead, no one could stop you. So no, I won't kill her." "So you would doom your own kind for the sake of one girl? How naive could you be? Have you forsaken your own race in hope of helping this nuisance? Have it your way then. But I think you're in over your head if you think you can protect her from her eventual fate. I will do what I must in order to allow our kind to survive. Even if that means sacrificing a girl in order to bring about the greater good. Are you telling me, you'd stand in the way of your own ancestors in order to protect her?" The voice questioned toward Nathan still not showing itself and secluding itself from sight. "Wow, you really don't have a clue who you're talking to" Nathan was actually a little surprised "I gave up on my own race years ago. Hell, I've been wandering around killing my own race for a few years. I'm also used to being in over my head, it's where I'm at my best oddly enough. Your mind games aren't going to work on me, I've resisted better attempts, so you'd be better off not wasting your breath" "You'll regret your decision. Turning your own back on your own kind. I will make sure that I stain your very betrayal on that pathetic body of yours. Now that you've made us your enemy, you better think about watching your own back as well. It will be interesting to see if you can protect yourself and this girl at the same-time? But I will warn you, she will devour you eventually. For now, I will let you be. I will seize my opportunity at another time." The voice concluded as it disappeared from sight and not another word was heard from it. "Nathan, are you sure that was wise?" Reala questioned as she stood by and interpretted the whole conversation. Nathan shrugged "no clue. But I've done tons of stupid things in the past, and I'm still alive" he answered. "The question is, what are we going to do about her?" He asked while turning to Meira "she's not looking to good. I think she might have gotten hit by some sort of mental attack. I'm clueless when it comes to stuff like that, so I hope you know something about the subject. Otherwise we'll have to find someone else who can help her" Meira had finally returned to her senses, but her state of mind was damaged by everything she heard and she wasn't sure what to believe anymore. "Am I no different than a monster? Am I really just some Angel of Destruction meant to devour all of existence. I killed..." She paused as tears started to roll down her eyes as the emotion in her body started to come back to life. "I killed them, didn't I? I always tried to make an excuse in the past when I was a child that it was someone else that looked like me, but that was really me, wasn't it? Yet now I am here killing a monster that I am no different from? I have no right to judge when I committed the same sins as this beast. If I give into my desire to destroy, will all the pain go away?" She questioned as she continued to speak softly in a damaged state of mind about what she had done. Another voice pierced the sky which everyone could hear. This voice was different from all the other's and sounded just like how Meira was talking a moment ago when something inside her was trying to convince her she was corrupted. "Yes, release your pain and let me take over. You will have to suffer no more. I will destroy everything including those you love so you never have to cling to anything again. You will never have to suffer again. Let me make your decisions for you. You can rest in a paradise I will create for you while I do all your bidding for you." It said toward Meira as Reala could only sit there and watch not knowing what to do. She didn't know what words to use to persuade Meira not to listen to such a being. She was hoping Nathan might have the answer. It was the only thing she could hope for at the moment. Nathan was ready for today to end already. So many crazy things had happened already, and it looked like more were to come. "This isn't good" he mumbled. "Meira, don't let her trick you! If there's anything I've learned in my life, it's to never ever listen to voices that come out of nowhere, EVER! Nothing good can ever come of it. Whoever she is, she's probably lying to you. If you let her win, then everything you're trying to do will be wasted! Don't let that happen! Is that what you really want; to live in an empty world all alone forever!?" "Alone?" Meira questioned as she wasn't sure what to do. "I..." She muttered for a moment still completely confused. The entity was impressed by how much she was resisting that it decided not to get aggressive. It waited to see how she would react afterward. "I don't know... But I cannot let you take control over me. Not until I know the answer. For now I will reject you and resist you with all my strength." She pleaded as she shook her head refusing the request from the voice. "Foolish girl, you would listen to the words of a naive mortal who abandoned his own race? What makes you think he won't do the same to you?" The voice questioned toward Meira hoping that it would get a favorable response from her. "Abandon me? Would you really do that, Nathan?" She said confused not knowing what to with everything still spiraling around her mind in an endless paradox. "You have to stop listening to her" Nathan said "she'll say whatever she thinks will break you" he warned. "My entire race suffers from a madness that flows through our very blood. I've been fighting it for a long time, but in my life the only other members of my race I've met who weren't family have all given into it, embraced that madness. That's why I've abandoned them, and that's why most of the blood on my hands is from my own kin. As long as you keep fighting whatever it is that's inside of you, I'll be there. After all, I'll need to you take care of me when I finally lose to the madness in my blood" "Maybe he's right..." Meira questioned as she tried to fight the madness that spiraled out of control in her body. "We are two sides of the same coin meant to help one another." She paused for a moment surprised by how concern Nathan was about her. This concern from her was quite different than the other compassion she felt from him. She felt a slight warmth inside her cold heart that started to sparkle a little. "So, you would listen to the words of a fool?" The voice questioned toward Meira interpreting that she had not fallen for its words. "I don't know, but I do know that until I know the truth, I will continue to strive for it. I cannot turn my back just, because I am unsure about the mist that fogs my mind about my past. But he's right, I would be allowing myself to be secluded into the same solitude I tried to get away from. I do not want to be a hypocrite of my own words so my answer is no. I will not let you do what you please." "What makes you think finding out the answer will make anything easier for you? You mortals are ambitious curious fools who eventually consume themselves in the madness of their own swelling past." A brief paused before its voice concentrated back on Nathan. "So be it, but do not think you have won, boy. Because you have not. One day, she may even devour you. Would you fight her even then?" The voice questioned toward Nathan awaiting a response from him before it parted. Nathan raised an eyebrow "clearly you didn't hear me; I'm counting on her being the one to kill me when I finally go mad. I'll only fight her if she waits too long to go through with it, and I stop being myself." Nathan sighed "well if that's everything, we really should be getting back to that party. We need to let everyone know that you're alright" he said to Meira "Wait, what!?" Meira said in surprise when she overheard Nathan talking to the voice about killing him. She couldn't believe Nathan had just said that. What she heard irritated her so much she turned her attention toward Nathan, "I can't believe what you just said." She paused before she continued in a tone which was all too familiar. "Stupid, stupid, stupid..." She said at the end in the same tone she spoke toward Nathan when he said anything that wasn't logical meaning it was pretty careless or idiotic to say. "You haven't changed one bit, Nathan. Still as childish as ever." She added with a brief smile on her face. Reala began to smile since it was great to see her sister back to herself and in rather higher spirits than she was before. She knew inside she was still struggling to find the answer, but this time she wouldn't turn her back on everything she accomplished while she looked for the answer herself. Nathan rubbed the back of his head "yeah...well. Anyway, we really need to get back to the party, like now. Who knows what's going on in there now. Your aunt needs to know that you're still alive after all." Just then, he noticed the beast out of the corner of his eyes. "The hell?" He walked over to it and pulled out the sword still stuck in it. "Is...is this thing still alive?" He was answered when he saw a little bit of movement from it. "Well damn, I didn't expect that. Oh well, still got to finish it." Since beating it to death had very limited success, Nathan decided to try something else. Grabbing it's head with both of his hands, he squeezed on it with all of his Dragonite strength. Reala and Meira were both caught by surprise that the beast was still alive, but gave a sigh of relief once Nathan had finished it. Reala emanated energy into her hand as she made it glow like a roman candle where her sword did the same. She used that energy like a magnet to attract her sword back to her hand which she caught after she removed it from the beast's body. "It would be bad if Celesna were to fall into the hands of malice." Reala remarked as she turned away the monster ready to walk away and see what was going on downstairs. "That's the legendary Spirit Sword Celesna which is said to be crafted from the hairs of the Goddess known as Aira, isn't Reala?" Meira questioned as she also began to walk away from the seen happy to see the beast was dead. She was also back in her original wardrobe from before. "Yes." Reala answered her quickly as she wanted to get back to help the situation below which she knew might be quite dire at the moment.

Oh no! Meira said as she was caught by complete surprise. She didn't want to go to her classes since she found them extremely boring. Who cares about learning the proper way of ruling a nation? Why did she need to learn all that anyway? Meira contemplated in her mind as she didn't want to reveal herself, but decided to open the door walking out of her hiding place. "I don't want to go to classes. All that nobility talk is so boring and who cares how governments work anyway?" Meira whined as she knew she had been busted yet again for trying to ditch her classes.

'Why does she even bother fighting it? She has to know that someone will find her and force her back into class' Mithos wondered to himself. With a sigh, he returned to his quarters to pick his book back up and resume his reading. 'Hard to believe that this is my life now' he thought to himself. 'How strange is it that I don't mind that I've been reduced to a glorified babysitter nearly as much as I should? Still, I can't help but wonder just how long this will take'

Ranathia had passed by as she saw Mithos was making sure Meira was attending her classes. She couldn't help but remember what happened a month ago, but she wasn't entirely sure herself if Mithos was handling himself well even after they cleared his name. She wanted to speak to him again, but she wasn't sure if now was a good time. "Must be difficult for you having to clean up your own mess alone. You know..." She paused for a moment as she moved into a more comfortable position so that they could face eye to eye. "It was the same way for me. Causing havoc then you have to try to seclude yourself from the public, because everyone looks at you like you're a villain. It's one thing that can eat your alive from the inside out..." Ranathia said as she took another pause from as she walked over toward a chair beside Mithos and took a seat. "Ranathia, is that you?" Meira called out of her room as she was getting frustrated with her hand maidens forcefully dressing her in clothes she didn't really want to wear. She hated school clothes and the fact that they were color coded annoyed her even more.

Yes. Ranathia answered as she set the text she was looking at down on a table beside her. It was very true that she had become very busy with investigating the connection between the True Runes and their plane known as the Material Plane. After what happened, she couldn't help but want to learn how dangerous the Chaos Runes were and how to better deal with them so they didn't run into another situation like last time. When he mentioned that she came to check up on her niece part of that was, but the real reason she was there is she wanted to investigate a mysterious ruin she read about in the text she set down on the table. "It's true I came here to check up on my niece however..." She paused for a moment as she shifted to a more comfortable position in her chair so that her posture looked better. "That's not why I'm here. It's true I've been very busy since I became the head researcher for the archeologist division so a lot of my time is put forth studying ancient texts and old artifacts. Currently I am about to set out to look at some old mysterious ruins that people have been staying away from. I'd like to know what exactly is in these ruins which is repelling visitors. If you wouldn't mind and I'm sure you'd find it more a convenient way to use your time I'd like you to accompany me as my bodyguard." "Oh ruins! Can I go too?" Meira questioned as she finally left her room after getting dressed. This was a chance for her to have a good reason for ditching her class and going on an adventure where they might discover some hidden secrets and perhaps fight some monsters. "Oh no you don't!" Ranathia said as she stood up from her chair knowing exactly what Meira was scheming. "It's off to your studies for you. You are not using my expedition as an excuse to ditch class. Now off to school with you!"

Thanks a lot! Meira said as she stormed out of the room in anger. It was obvious she didn't want to go to school, but if she were to become a better person she better start accepting her responsibilities. "So you don't want to come?" She said in disappointment since she wanted to try at least to get to know Mithos better. She knew he wasn't like the other boys since he had a phobia for females. Ranathia had always been teased about the same phobia except hers were to males. "I'm not forcing you to come with me. If you think I'm forcing you to come with me then don't come with me. I thought I'd at least..." Ranathia said a bit irritated that Mithos was taking it like she was forcing him to go with her. "Forget it! I'll find someone. Sorry for wasting your time." She answered as she walked out of the room in a pretty foul mood.

Oh my! One of the hand maidens who was cleaning the room said as they stumbled across a very strange looking book that was sitting on a table next to where Mithos was reading. "Mithos, who does this strange book belong to?" She questioned as she picked up the book and showed it to Mithos while she got back to cleaning the room. "The nerve of that..." Ranathia whispered to herself as she made her way toward the outside of the manor which Meira was staying at while the castle was being repaired. A lot of very tall buildings that stretched high up in the sky obscured anyone's view of the capital. You could also see from a distance the battered damaged castle from a distance which main entrance was completely collapsed in and the throne area you could see a giant hole in the roof.

The streets were crowded and Ranathia who was waiting to cross the street saw Mithos had tracked her down. She wasn't quite sure why so she turned around to face him. She saw that he held a book in her hands that she forgot about earlier. She knew it was due to her anger that she felt toward him earlier that she accidentally left the book behind without thinking about it. "Oh, yes thank you." Ranathia said kindly as her mood had suddenly shifted when she realized the book was hers. "But why did you go out of your way just to bring this back to me?"

Ranathia took the book then headed for her vehicle which was parked on the other side of the street. When the traffic grew thin she decided to cross the street and walk toward the side her car was parked on. Before getting in she thought about what Mithos had said and remembered her contact had information about his aunt. "Mithos." Ranathia said as she turned around before she tried to unlock the door. "I'm going to meet with one of my contacts and they said they have information regarding your aunt. You're more than welcome to accompany me, but if you're too busy I'll just drop a report by later." Ranathia said as she unlocked the door and got in before closing it. Cars were very expensive in Windgrace and only the most wealthy of citizens could ever afford one. Ranathia couldn't help but feel sympathy for Mithos despite in the past she felt a lot of resentment toward him, because she blamed him for Reala's disappearance. She was pretty sure Reala was still alive since something inside her told her that she was. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Meanwhile Reala who was still recovering from her wounds had returned to the bakery that the boy worked at. She found his rolls very tasty which she usually ordered. The ones with cream were her favorite. "I'm back again today, Danny. I'll have the same I usually have." She said since Danny probably by now had her order memorized in his mind.

Well I was going to tell you that before you said I was imposing on you like other people. Ranathia hinted as she started the car driving off down the road to where she was going to meet with her contact. While driving toward the destination she passed many sights and also talked to Mithos about what she had learned so far. "Here's what I've learned so far. It seems that the Kingdom of Eden is divided between two sides. The Angels of Light and the Angels of Darkness who do not get along at all. From what I learned is that the Angels of Darkness were behind the terrorist attack and were the ones who helped your uncle plan it. It seems the Angels of Darkness have been working with very shady people who I wouldn't trust no matter how far I threw them." Ranathia said as she continued to keep her eyes focused on the road. _______________________________________________________________________________________ "Thanks." Reala said as she took her bag and walked over taking a seat. She found it strange why she kept coming back to the place where she had first met this boy Danny. Though she convinced herself in the mind it's because the sweets are so delicious. "Why don't you come over and have some and come talk to me, Danny-kun? Don't be so shy because I won't bite." Reala asked him as she took one of the rolls out and took a bite out of it as she enjoyed the moistness of the delicious breading in her mouth.

Seriously Mithos, if you mope around like that forever your face is going to freeze. I don't know what you're thinking in that mind of yours and I don't think I want to know, but you need to try to move on. I'm doing what I can to help you on the side, but I also have my research and investigation to attend to. Ranathia said as she parked the car on the side of the road at an abandoned warehouse. The warehouse was rundown and didn't really have anything inside it other than a bunch of broken crates and pallets. "All right, we're here." Ranathia said toward Mithos as she reached over toward her door handle to get out. She then closed the door behind her as she approached the exact location she was to meet up with her contact. ______________________________________________________________________________ "I was curious if you heard anything suspicious lately, seen suspicious activity or anyone suspicious at all?" Reala questioned as she took another bite of her roll while passing one to Danny. Though she wasn't really in any position to be fighting she still was gathering information so she could learn more about what had happened during the terrorist attack on Windgrace.

So good to see you again, Ranathia. Said a voice out of nowhere only to reveal itself to be a man in their elderly years who came over to greet Ranathia. The man looked over toward the person who accompanied, "You didn't say you'd be accompanied by anyone, Ranathia. Who this strapping young lad?" "Professor Langton, don't get such weird ideas. I'm not that kind of person and you know it." Ranathia said sincerely as she denounced any kind of talk that gave the impression that Mithos and her were seeing each other. Professor Langton chuckled at Ranathia's comment knowing it was the same way she had acted when he used to tease her about helping one of the boys in a school she used to attend. He knew it was strange since Ranathia didn't really have a strong attraction to the opposite sex and actually loathed the male gender quite a bit. "C'mon Ranathia, you're not getting any younger. Don't you think a lonely beautiful maiden like you should have handsome man to sweep you off your feet by now?" Ranathia shook her head as she wanted to get all this teasing nonsense by her. She knew Langton had not changed a bit who continued to tease her about her phobia to no end. "Mithos, this is Professor Langton. He is my source for information." Ranathia introduced to Mithos as Langton reached out to shake Mithos hand. _________________________________________________________________________________ "Yeah, that..." She said as she wanted to forget about someone getting the better of her who was very skilled at using a sword. She was probably the most notable swordsman since Vandalin The Flash Strike. She earned herself the nickname Death Flash, because in a flash of her blade she had killed her enemies without flinching. "I might as well tell you what happened. The castle was attacked by terrorists if you have not read about it yet or heard about it from gossip and I was blown away when a demon used a kamekaze attack on me in hope of killing me." Reala commented even though deep down she wanted to forget that incident ever happened.

Is that so? Mithos pondered "I'm not sure if I should be furious or overjoyed; despite what they have planned for her, they are giving me a chance to rescue her. Do you have any idea when that ship will be here?" He asked the Professor 'I certainly hope he does. I would really rather not have to stake out the location myself.' He added in his head. He started going over any sort of perpetration he could make in his head. --- "Oh, bye then, and thanks" Danny said to Reala as he picked up the tip. Walking back to his place in the kitchen, he passed by Mr. Pucci and said "girls are so confusing. Did any of that make sense to you?" Chuckling a little bit, Mr. Pucci ruffled up Danny's hair and said "Danny, unlocking the mysteries of the opposite sex is just one of the many hurdles on the path of life. As you grow older, many of their strange ways will begin to make sense to you." "If you say so. Although to be honest, I'm not sure if I do want to understand girls. I might go mad from the revelation" Danny replied before went back into the kitchen

The ship should be here next week at night. The Professor answered Mithos question as he turned his attention back toward Ranathia. He still had to tell her what he learned from the lone researcher who survived the ruins. "Ranathia, I wish you would reconsider exploring those ruins. I hear a very powerful beast is guarding them and that many researchers had lost their lives to it. The lone researcher told me it is a beast that is unaffected by regular weapons." "A Ragnanite Demon then?" Ranathia questioned as she had a pretty good idea it had to be one, because only a Ragnanite Demon could be unaffected by attacks, because they appear in the Material Plane but still are in the Spectral Plane where they cannot be harmed by physical weapons. She then continued on when she knew what it was possibly protecting, "If there's a Ragnanite Demon there then it must be protecting a Chaos Rune or an Egis. If we leave it unchecked it will just get stronger." "Yes Ranathia, but you are no condition to be fighting. I know you won't lisen to me since you're as stubborn as your brother, but do please be careful." Langton warned since he was very concerned about Ranathia's well-being.

See you later then, Mithos. Ranathia said as she took the time to wave to him goodbye. Even though the Professor didn't want Ranathia to go to the ruins she wasn't about to let a Ragnanite Demon from stopping her. Besides, the beast would need to put down eventually otherwise it would wreak havoc on the city. She also said her short piece toward Professor Langton before she told him goodbye as well returning to her car. She wasn't sure where to start or how to deal with this beast. If it was wiping out bands of researchers then it must be a pretty nasty monster. "Still jumping into danger, eh?" A familiar voice said to her from behind and when she turned around she noticed it was Lucent. She had no idea Lucent had snuck into her car and when he did and caught her by surprised she chew him out not to be sneaking up on her like that. "Lucent, how long have you been there?" Ranathia questioned as she turned around to face him from her seat eye to eye. Jumping into the passenger's seat, "For the whole duration of your talk with Professor Langton. Surprised the guy still likes to stick his head out where it might get cut off. He's got guts, that's for sure." Lucent answered as he gestured toward Ranathia while thinking about some thoughts in his head from earlier that he was trying to understand in better picture.

You're still planning on going to those ruins, aren't you? Lucent remarked as he could see that Ranathia really wasn't in any condition to be going anywhere at the moment. Judging by how she looked her face looked very pale. He couldn't help but be concerned over her well-being. Ranathia nodded at Lucent not really say a word. She didn't really know how to tell Lucent that she wasn't going to listen to his advice about not going. She tried to hire a bodyguard, but the one she tried to hired accused of her forcing them to go with her which did not sit well with her. Ranathia wasn't really the kind of person who would just force people to go with her. Almost her entire life after she grew too old for her brother to care she had been taking care of herself and this was no different. She wasn't about to let a chance of getting to destroy a threat and learn more about ancient ruins pass up. She hoped that searching the ruins might give her an idea of who she really was and what kind of people she descended from. "All right." Lucent said as he stepped out of her car and closed the door. His last words to her was for her to take care of herself before he jumped up into the air and onto a building where he eventually fell out of sight. ____________________________________________________________________________ Meanwhile Meira had finally arrived at her school which was packed with lots of kids. She was outside the school just as you walk up toward the doors where she saw lots of kids hanging around. She also saw two familiar sights when she observed where she saw both Nathan and Alice were present. "Surprised to see you here, Nathan. Did you decide to learn something after all?" She laughed as she then turned her attention toward Alice gesturing toward her a simple hello, "Morning Alice." Meira added which she probably knew Alice was finding it very strange that someone of her status was associating with the likes of Alice. She didn't really care since you didn't have to be wealthy to be her friend.

It was a weird month for Alice, she was caught up in the attack at the coronation, she was told that several unbelievable stories were actually true and to top it all, she now has a somewhat friendly relationship with the Princess. "Ah, good morning Prin...Meira," Alice said to Meira, giving the latter a stiff nod. The princess was an odd person in Alice's eyes, she's a noble but didn't show much of how the usual nobles act. She knew there would be exceptions among the nobles, but for the highest ranking noble to be one was a confusing matter to understand. However, Meira also knew about Whizzle, which mean that she's one of the few person that Alice could speak with.

Oh! That's alright! Alice quickly replied. "I didn't mean to impose after all. But if you think she could answer, then I'm willing to meet her and ask.." She then looked at the commotion that was happening and her expression turned sour. Her school was fairly lenient when it comes to uniform, only having them mandatory in certain days but there were always some people who had problems with it, especially those who likes to flaunt their wealth. Sure, the uniforms tend to use skirts that is too short than what she liked, but they usually don't cry over if she wear shorts underneath. "Ugh, and I hoped it would've been a quiet day." She scowled.

Alice gave a grateful nod to Meira for the name. Although something about the name seems very familiar. Where did she hear that name before? However, her dive on memory have to wait as Nathan looked at the Meira look-alike the "wrong" way and had attracted her ire. Oh, she's the angsty noble type. I hope it would start already, she thought.

As the students filled the building taking their seats on the benches as they awaited to have their names announced, both Meira and Reala remained outside. Reala didn't really want to participate, but she found out something interesting that would help toward her initial goal so she decided to make this exception while she knew Meira was forced to attend so she could learn how to become a people person which was the direct opposite of what Reala wanted to become. Sure the fancy treatment and pampering sounded nice, but she wasn't about to give up her character for all of that. "Aren't you coming, Reala?" Meira asked as she had remained behind while all the other students entered the building. She could notice that something was on Reala's mind, but she couldn't quite contemplate what it was. She also was thinking about how she regretted taking a leader stance. Sure she was a leader, but if it involved having to attend boring classes she would have rather passed on the idea, but it was too late. She had already engraved it on her slate and there was no turning back now. She whispered to herself while staring at the ground, "Man, this just plain sucks. I never imagined being a leader would require so much training. Had I known I would have never agreed to it in the first place." Reala let out a small smile as she walked over and placed her hand around Meira. "It's all right, sister. I suppose I will help you bear that responsibility together. After all." Reala paused for a moment as her smile grew larger before returning to her normal facial expression. "We are sisters. As sisters, we must look out for one another!" "Really?" Meira questioned surprised by Reala's response that took some breath out of her from the shock. Reala didn't even answer her, but she did give a nod with a larger smile on her face to confirm what she just said as fact. Meira gave her sister a big hug out of happiness when she learned Reala would help her with this burden that had been eating away at her.

A few weeks had passed with some forward progress in breaking Fenrir, but a man dressed in mostly black wearing what looked to be a black duster had come to confront the man who was currently in possession of the Providence Breaker. The guards said toward the head of the WW Division leader, “Introducing the owner of the largest energy organizations in existence, Sir Sentius. His research into energy is unparalleled and thanks to his influence we have made new revolutions in our studies of how exactly this Universe came to be. He is the CEO of Psychosis, the largest energy supplier in existence. He would like to talk to you about what he could do for you.” “As you know I am the owner of Psygnosis, one of the largest energy suppliers in the entire galaxy. I am here to make a rather interesting deal that benefits us both.” The man said as he dismissed the guards. He was curious what he could learn from this person and how they could help him learn more about Taru and her connection to a special existence which drew all of his interest. I don’t really care about his research into this werewolf. What I want to know is his werewolf’s relationship with the Holy Mother and what he knows about Mother. I must know more about Antitypes and their purpose. I have to know, because this could lead toward the possible creation of an entity just like Cinis if not better. He thought as he grinned to himself. The old man, Reek, sighed and responded, “I am a scientist, not a bureaucrat, go bother one of them with your petty business deals and corporate espionage.” “To be honest, I’m only interested in meeting Taru. I won’t keep her from what she has planned, but I want a chance to meet this girl. I would also like to know what Fenrir knows about Meira. I have no interest in your creations. Just knowledge they might have which may prove useful in our research on the Rune of Origin. He may have knowledge about Antitypes which would be essential for our own research. That is all I want. In return, I may help you with your research as compensation for at least letting me meet her.” Sentius said as he dropped the formality and business nonsense and got exactly to the point. He needed to know if Fenrir might have heard from Meira the answer to The Key that they were missing. Also if he came across what possible could be an Eve clone named Lenna which Luther created. Anyone that came into contact with these Antiypes could prove useful in discovering the secrets about their existence. “Fine. I give you permission to speak to Taru and Fenrir, but entirely because I want to get out of my office.” Reek snarked. He was tempted to simply kill these people, but he had the feeling they were more powerful than they originally let on, and the Cimmerians wouldn’t be to happy with that executive decision. “Wise decision… You do not want to see what I am capable of, old fool.” He said as his hand glowed an ominous gold color for a second before dissipating as Reek’s men lead the man toward the place they were holding Fenrir first. He wanted to extract as much knowledge from Fenrir before he came into contact with Taru. That way he could better feel the relationship Taru has with Fenrir, the voice that speaks to her and Meira. “Using unstable energy pockets and trick magic to prevent people from escaping... Not bad though if I pass my energy through another dimension and release it directly on my target I don’t have to worry about such primitive methods. This being the reason I find boundary manipulation the most interesting aspect in the field of magic, because the problem with most forms of magic is they have backdoors just like this trick. No matter, I will play along with this little charade of yours. Perhaps I can learn something that is actually useful from it from my experience to it.” They lead him to the cell then let him in the cell where Fenrir was being held where he approached the figure. “Introductions are pointless so I will get right to the point. There is much we can learn from one another. I have no interest in Reek’s dealings with you nor any interests the Cimmeria Empire has with you. Though I could provide you with an opportunity to escape and for you to take Taru far away from here. Before I do that, you have to do something for me. All I want to know is what you know about Meira when you came into contact with her? What is her relationship with you? I also want to know if the voice inside Taru ever tried to speak to you and if she did what did she say?” Meanwhile Taru was discussing with Anayame what they should do. She saw the object that Reek provided them though she wanted to know why he was so interested in helping her escape. She didn’t know whether to escape or not since her original’s friend Fenrir was still being held captive. She regretted every word she said toward Fenrir and hated herself for saying it. Sure she did get Anayame back, but at what price? She might have just severed what relationship Meira had with the beast and any hope of light shining inside its void for a heart. She also knew that Eve was having no luck in convincing Fenrir to listen to her. “Something inside me, Anayame says I’m not doing the right thing. I feel so horrible for what I’ve done because her feelings are just getting stronger which is starting to complicate things for me.” Anayame reached over and gripped Taru’s hand nodding. Anayame unlike Taru had short hair which was shoulder length. She wore a plaid skirt which was mostly green and yellow with white square figurines on it. She also wore a white vest over top her blue blouse and a pair of white thigh highs along with a pair of white sneakers. “I want to save him too, Taru. I saw how lonely he looks and it pains me to see someone that way.” Fenrir’s cell, while behind a lock door, did not look like a cage, but instead a very fancy two-room hotel, a luxurious bedroom and a bathroom. Fenrir just laid down on his stomach, a pillar covering his face. Whenever he heard the stranger’s voice, he simply raised his hand, making a very rude gesture among werewolves. “Let me ask you a question? Do you wish to escape or not? I can make this worthwhile for the both of us. I will also allow you to be reunited with Meira, but this is the last time I will ask. What do you know about Meira and what is her connection with you? Also, tell me anything you know about Taru or the voice that speaks to her?” This time Sentius shifted his voice to a more of I’m not in the mood for my time to be wasted type of tone. This time he was a bit more sincere about what he was asking and it was the last time he was going to ask. He had far better things to do than waste his time with talking to a brick wall. He could just access what he wanted to know from Taru since she came into contact with Fenrir. Fenrir seemed to think for a moment, pausing for a few moments without moving. Or, that was just what it appeared to be, in truth, he just fell asleep which became evident after his first snore. “Have it your way then.” Sentius said as he turned around signaled to the guards and left the room. “Tell Reek I won’t be returning. If he has any information he wants to provide me with then send it to my research division. I’m done wasting my time here.” He concluded as he walked away from that room and started for the room where they were holding Taru captive. He signaled toward the guards to open the door where he got an immediate action from Taru and her sister Anayame. Taru immediately turned her attention toward the door as she was surprised that someone came to visit her aside from Reek and his goon squad. She also recognized who the person was which made her shift into a more serious mood, “What do you want?” She said not pleased to see the man again. The man walked and introduced himself, but neither Taru nor her sister Anayame were pleased to see him. He walked over and took a seat in one of the chair then focused all his attention on the two girls. “Taru, what did you learn from Fenrir? Does he know anything about Meira that he should not know? Should he find out the secret of her ancestry it may provide problems for me in the future. I certainly don’t want that cult Reek is from getting their hands on the Rune of Origin let alone any of the Antitypes especially you and Lenna.” He grinned as he snapped his fingers which brought her into a trance which was under his complete control. “Master Sentius, he knows nothing about the Rune of Origin. He also hasn’t learned anything about Meira’s lineage aside from the fact she’s a princess. By now, everyone should be able to be able to draw that conclusion. He’s such a naive fellow. He thinks I’m Meira when I’m not. How could my original be friends with someone so vulgar? It’s absurd I tell you. Do you wish for him to be eliminated?” Taru asked with no control over her emotions or body. It seemed that her self-awareness didn’t interfere either. “No, that won’t be necessary. Perhaps I can keep him alive and use him toward getting Meira to reveal her power. If that fool Reek gets in my way or that cult I will have their existence nullified. Should they push me I shall show them what I’m truly capable of and why I am the Father of Magic.” Sentius threatened as he thought about what his next move would be. Sentius was very renown for his skill at magic. His magical skills surpassed everyone and he knew every back door to every spell hence why he relies on his Boundary Manipulation and Dimension Magic which has no equal. “Your purpose here has been served, Taru. I shall transport you to the continent Holyoke in Windgrace’s capital so you can fulfill your next task.” “What is my next task?” Taru questioned as she was very curious to learn what it was. She took a drink from her wine that was on the table while she waited for Sentius to answer he question. She wondered what kind of place Windgrace was? “Your next task is to confront Meira and erase any memories she has of Fenrir. I want her to completely forget about that fool. I cannot allow her to be placing herself in danger when she is needed to complete my next task. Hopefully Ranathia’s run with the ruin will confirm my theory about her being The Key. If that’s true, I am one step closer from achieving my ultimate goal.” Sentius grinned as he prepared his hand which had a mysterious golden glow on his hand. It was time for Taru and Anayame to leave Cimmeria and confront their next target which was Meira. “Eventually I’ll eliminate Reek so that the knowledge about Antitypes and the Rune of Origin are simply forgotten. After that, as long as Fenrir stays out of my way I will not have to destroy him.” With those words Sentius pulled himself and the two other girls into a pocket dimension he created called The Void. He then in a flash of light sent the two on their mission which was in Windgrace as he snapped his finger bringing Taru back to her normal state while he returned to finish what he had started. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A flash a light appeared and out of it two girls appeared a room that had a blonde angelic man in it. Taru knew that Sentius probably didn't project their trajectory perfectly and that his aiming was a bit off. why else would they end up in someone's house only to recognize that it was Meira house since she could sense Meira's essence in the place. Another girl accompanied her for the trip. The hand maidens were all stunned and shocked at what they just saw. They could have sworn that they sent Meira to school. "Heheh, um well..." Taru paused a bit embarrassed to barge into Meira's manor unannounced. It was a bit rude and very intruding to do so. Especially when she looked just like Meira. One of the hand maidens said toward Mithos who was reading a book in the room, "Mithos, tell me that I'm seeing things?" She questioned still not able to understand why she was seeing the princess right in front of her who appeared out of a flash of light.

I apologize for their abrupt interruptions. A voice said as a man stepped out of a void he created in the area before closing it. This man wore a black duster which covered most up his lower and middle portions of his body and his hood made it hard to see his face. You could see two dark blue eyes peering out from the darkness inside his hood. "I was trying to rescue them from the Cimmeria Empire, because they are clones created for the purpose of destruction and somehow my transportation spell misfired and they ended up here." "Sentius..." Taru said as she had regained full control of her mind and she again was very cautious of the man. She knew that this man had forcefully taken control of her earlier and managed to suppress the entity inside her. Stepping in front of Taru Anayame faced Sentius with a straight face and fire in her eyes. "Can't you just leave Taru alone? You've already put her through enough as it is. I wish you would just stop trying to help us and leave us alone!" She barked as she put her arms out in a cross to bar his path from Taru. "The only reason you care is because we were born differently than other people!"

Alice sat impatiently in the room as she waited until the screening starts. She already knew where she would end up anyway as it's the only option for her, that makes the screening moot but it's mandatory to attend and therefore she has to stay for the duration. Noticing that Nathan was similarly looking bored as he wait, Alice decided to converse with him. "Um, hey, Nathan," she started. "You're the princess' bodyguard right? How long have you been at it? Being a bodyguard I mean, I thought all bodyguards are older and you don't look much older than I am, but... after what I'm told, I just can't think age corelate with your appearance..."

I have no interest in words that do not prove useful for my motives. Unlike most of you mortals, I have no driven logic toward anger so easily. Mule's bray and fool's talk, but the wiseman listens not. You did give me something that I could use so I'll compliment you for that. Sentius answered back in a very cold tone as he opened the door and walked out it. He had sufficient knowledge and now it was time to look for the Academy of Magical Arts and Research Division so that he may finally come into contact with Meira. Sentius made his appearance go transparent though you could still clearly see him like he was still in their plane. Taru looked at Mithos where she shook her head in disbelief about him not knowing where the school was breaking free from Anayame's grip. "You're lying and I can sense it from your energy. Your negative energy just became stronger..." But she was interrupted by Anayame who again grabbed Taru and pulled her away before she made more of a fool of herself. "Taru, he doesn't need to know that. You sometimes need to keep your special powers you have to yourself. Speak at a more convenient time." Anayame added where Taru simply though Anayame was acting like a parent or guardian. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Reala, did you sense that?" Meira asked as she stopped from entering the building when she suddenly felt an emergence in the area. She could tell that there were three very strong energy readings, but she couldn't quite get a fix on their locations. Meira had no idea if these people were friend or foe which made her concern grow even stronger. Reala turned around to grab Meira, but suddenly stopped when she could also feel the same thing Meira could. She could not only sense very strong energy readings in the area, but also she thought she heard some thoughts that were not her own. Reala couldn't really explain whose thoughts they were or where they came from. Reala simply peered down the white concrete steps that weren't in perfect condition as they stretched their way downward toward the bottom. It was a very steep drop and quite a slide should you lose your step she noticed. While examining that specific area she could not see anyone or feel anyone in that area. While she observed the surrounding area, she heard it once again the voice that contacted her awhile back saying things she simply didn't understand. Again it was mentioning some "Seed of Eve" which did not compute for Reala. She had no idea what that was or what they were even talking about. Reala could only simple think to herself mimicking the same words in a very low tone mumble Seed of Eve... Meira looked at Reala seeing that something was bothering her. Knowing Reala's nature she knew full and well that she wouldn't tell her simply what it was since she didn't want others to get involved. Meira couldn't help feeling concern for her own sister ans she could feel her heart starting to thump louder and louder like if her sister was calling her for help. Then she also heard the very same voice say the samething which drew her face away from Reala and simply drove into complete confusion.

Meira once again examined her surroundings, but she didn't see anyone in sight. She could still hear a voice saying the same phrase. Though it didn't sound like the evil voice who tried to take her over. Her confusion grew stronger every time it mentioned the very same phrase. Somehow she sensed another presence in her mind, but that's impossible. She thought because she had never in her life felt this way before. It didn't really scare her at all or make her remember the nightmares that haunt her. Meira wasn't sure if she should seek out the presence or not. If she missed the enroll exam they might appoint someone as her personal guardian to see that she goes to school. That bothered her though her curiosity grew due to the fact she wanted to know how this person was able to affect her thoughts. Reala who was also confused noticed that Meira was still in her mesmerized state like she didn't know what was going on. Like Meira, she was also uninformed about what she was feeling though she did realize that she was connected with Meira's mind even though she didn't have an explanation. Now she felt two more presences in her mind that she did not know. Normally, her power would repel anything that was malicious; however, neither presences shown intent toward harming her or trying to force her into submission. "Who would influence our minds in such a way? It's like whomever these people are that we are sensing understand what we are feeling. Also, this voice I keep hearing is just unexplainable. I've never heard her before so who exactly is she?" Reala could only question since thinking about it only made her even more confused. Right now it was like a thick veil of mist had overlapped her thoughts and she just couldn't pierce the barrier it was projecting. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Meanwhile inside the building, one of the people's at the desk starting calling for names. They went by student by student according to how they were separated classification wise. Still sorting through the S Class students the attendant called for the name Meira Rystaliuskal, but whenever they called for Meira there was absolutely no answer. There were a lot of students in the building, some seated while others standing talking to each other. There were also a few others who sat alone isolated from everyone else. The building was very crowded, but finding a girl with pink hair should be easy. They didn't have many in attendance who had pink hair. "MEIRA RYSTALIUSKAL! CALLING MEIRA RYSTALIUSKAL! PLEASE REPORT TO THE FRONT DESK IMMEDIATELY!" The attendant said over the loud speaker, but still there was no answer. The attendant grumbled to themselves as they were growing very impatient of waiting for her. "Where could have that child ran off to?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This place is sure a lot cleaner than the Cimmeria Empire." Taru said as she explored the sights the capital of Windgrace had to offer. There were lots of tall buildings and floating contraptions in the sky. She saw that these floating contraptions emitted some kind of energy which formed some kind of barrier. "I wonder, do they use Magitek?" Taru pondered as a thought as she placed her index finger at her lip. The girl was rather curious and continued to look at those objects as various people passed her by. Sentius continued to look to have his eyes closed looking like he was concentrating. Anayame was watching him, but knew it was never a good idea to interrupt him when he was meditating. He didn't show he was irritated, but she could see it on his face that it made him angry when you did. She decided to let him do what he was doing while exploring the various sights with Anayame. It was better than having to deal with a very ice cold stare that gave you the chills when you angered Sentius. Though she couldn't help but wonder why that man with wings earlier lied to them? Strange, why would that man lie for her sake? I didn't really sense any kind of bond between the two? "Heh, some people are just weird I guess..." She said softly as she sighed. While she was able to sigh she breathed in the clean fresh air that Windgrace had to offer. It was a lot more refreshing than the suffocating environment that Cimmeria offered. She didn't understand how people could live in such a place. It was like it sucked the life right out of your body. "All these people are interfering with me getting a direct fix on Meira's location." Sentius mumbled to himself softly as he showed an air of irritation in his voice just by how it sounded. The vibe kind of gave both Taru and Anayame an uneasy feeling. They were hoping that he wouldn't do anything rash that would draw a lot of attention. There was no need to kill people needlessly just because they provided somewhat of a hindrance. Momentarily he opened one eye and with a reassuring look reminded the two, "You don't need to worry. I have no interest in wasting my energy destroying such fragile beings."

That's because he's not human. A voice said out of nowhere only to reveal itself as Stellvia. Stellvia had changed her appearance to look like the school girl where she wore a white shirt, white socks, a black skirt and white tennis shoes. From the skirt to the shirt the girl's wore she knew that mortals had such strange fashion sense. She then peered over the boy while pondering the thought that Nathan was trying to hide he truly was. How long are you going to continue to lie to yourself, boy? If any harm comes to Rana while she is sealing your power you might not want to know what I'll do. She then focused all her attention on Alice once again. "Though I must say this is the first time I thought so highly of a mortal. It's your innocent nature that allures me into curiosity. I think if I stay close to you I might find out the true nature of your kind. Never thought I'd allow a mortal into my void of a heart, but you have certainly surprised me, Alice." Back at the desk, the attendant had waited long enough where she stuck her head outside the booth and yelled so everyone could hear as her voice filled the entire room, "DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THAT BLASTED MEIRA IS? I'M GETTING TIRED OF WAITING FOR THAT FOOLISH CHILD!!!" Where the students each looked at each other and around then shrugged their shoulders. A few others just shook their heads or just ignored the attendant completely. One of the teachers watched by and thought that Nathan was fraternizing with one of the school girls. He walked immediately over toward Nathan and whacked him on the back with a yard stick. This man was a very heavy set man with a rather unattractive looking face and geeky glasses. "Flirting with the females is prohibited! That's one demerit for you, Nathan Alduin! I knew you'd be a worthless delinquent piece of trash that was dumped on our doorstep." He then pointed his yardstick toward a sign that showed an o with a line through it with a male sitting with a female. "Are you blind that you cannot see the regulations in this building, boy! Judging by how smart you look you're probably too stupid even to know how to read. I think I should add you to my shit list." He then immediately turned his position to face Alice where he gave her a very scary looking facial expression, "Shouldn't you missy be with the girls? Now get to it! I don't have all day! A demerit for you also." He said as other students knew how much of a jerk that teacher really was.
