"I'M GOING."
"Vivien, you should stay."
"No, I'm definitely going this time."
"It's not safe."
Elija turned his head back and forth between Zephrain and Vivien as they argued. He wasn't sure why exactly Zephrain tried to argue with Vivien when she was just as stubborn as the Saeri was. He always ended up giving in. The group discovered that when Vivien decided she wanted to do something, she would figure out a way to make it happen, even if her way was unconventional. In this instance, she would probably just say she was going to go until Zephrain stopped trying to dissuade her.
It was early morning, and they were getting ready to go back to the village. However, no one was really sure who was actually going to the village just yet since Vivien had decided that she was going. That would mean that everyone would be going since Marjien will decide to go with her friend too.
He turned to Marjien who was munching on the flat biscuit that Celine had ma

FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS, the group continued to sleep outside of the village and walk in to help the villagers during the day. Some would want to travel by carriage or Chimeraes. There were some who only stopped in cities and towns that were prosperous enough to accommodate them. They had gone past villages like this one before, but the transportations didn't stop. Vivien understood. There was no point as the places like this didn't have anything to offer, anyway. In the places where they did stop, children and even women were forbidden from going into the slums of the city.But both Marjien and Vivien were not using any kind of transportation. As a traveler on foot, Vivien had seen poverty like this before. Each day in the village was a struggle to survive. People were still starving or stricken with illness, and there was nothing to give them hope since the fields were barren and water was scarce and far away. Their group had started going hungry, sharing all of the food they

KEEPING themselves with their power going consistently for this long was exhausting. Even the elite Krysts, Celine and Angelica were struggling. These bandits knew how to deal with Krysts. They had weapons that could deflect magic, which in Celine's suspicion was that they acquired it from the land of Markus. Celine and Angelica fought with their fire and ice, respectively. As the hours grew longer, the two would often elicit grunts whenever their fire and ice diminish.Vivien gritted her teeth as she moved away from her opponent, her crystal scales falling away due to the impact and then it slowly grew another bunch. Compared to earlier, the replacement of her crystal scales began to decrease. She knew that their inner core would break once they exhaust it to their limit. Maybe with more meditation, Vivien would be able to keep her power longer, but for now she was reaching her current limit. Once it was gone, the three of them wouldn't be able to do anything to protect each

"WHEN I arrive, she was already laying down with four mutilated bodies," Lukas murmured.He knew that Vivien already took care of those bandits but he just wanted all of them to stop... existing.Marjien must have noticed the anger emanating from Zephrain. She appeared at Zephrain's elbow, her hand resting on the man's arm and her gentle voice soothing. "She'll feel a lot better soon, I promise. It's not the first time that she used the Crystal Beast to protect someone. She will regenerate after a few days rest."That helped cool Zephrain's temper somewhat."It's my fault," Celine said, tears brimming at the corners of her brownish green eyes. It was not always like this wherein they were put in so much danger. Usually only Celine and Angelica were enough. "We should have brought our weapons with us. We should have been careful in deciding our actions."Angelica dropped to her knee and bowed her head. "Punish us, Your Highness. We failed to protect Vivi

"W-WHAT?" both Marjien and Vivien exclaimed."We kind of just agreed to go in a survey on our own," Celine said. "Zephrain here was present in the meeting when the lord of the Graire Province boasted about their economy rising. He wanted to know what was really happening. When Hwa Elisa gave him a silent mission, as he wasn't supposed to be revealed until he became the Trux, he decided to drag us along and see this place."Vivien had heard so much about this lord of the Graire Province but they haven't had any encounter with the man yet. Zephrain seemed to take his time, reaching out to the villagers instead of going after their good-for-nothing leader and create a rapport with them. Vivien saw this as an opportunity for Zephrain. Once he was revealed as the new Trux of the Kingdom of Demetrius, he was already loved by the people. And he would become a leader who knew the hardship of his people."I hope your day was less eventful," Angelica said, glancing at Vivien

FOR the rest of the afternoon, she and Lukas worked around the village, repairing buildings, helping the elders, and entertaining the children. Both of them sang while they worked, bringing a tiny bit of levity to a village who hadn't experienced much joy in a long time. It was strange, but Vivien felt comfortable around Lukas. He didn't really remind her of Kaiden, but somehow she got the same big brother feeling from him. It helped that he was so nice and friendly to her in any way, and while he flirted with her, she could tell it was only gentle teasing and not intended to be taken seriously. Not even Zephrain took his flirting seriously.When the sun began to set, Lukas came to get her to take her back to the town where their group was currently based. She looked up from putting the last few stitches in a shirt hem to find Lukas blocking the last rays of sunlight."You'll go blind trying to make such little stitches without light," he teased.Vivien smiled. "I'

BEIGE material fluttered above Zephrain as he woke up, the cloth caught in a gentle breeze. The top of the tent that Celine, Marjien, Angelica and Vivien shared was the same color… this was the tent. Memories flooded back to him as he remembered the course of the afternoon, how Marjien had almost been captured by bandits, how he had used his power.Emotions raced through him, vying for dominance. He wasn't a violent man. He intended to make use of his power once the Blood Star was born and the Great Witch appeared. He felt guilty for not being able to protect the villagers better, shame for being down and exhausting his inner core even before he controlled it, gratitude that Marjien was there to finish off what he started. A touch of lingering excitement, leftover from the way using his powers had made him feel like he gave justice to the oppressed, as if he truly was a king. And worry, worry for Vivien once she finds out, for the villagers, but mostly for Vivien.Worry

VIVIEN let the notes of the funeral song fade as she stood in front of the pyre, her hands clasped in front of her. The funeral preparations had moved quickly with the village helping to prepare the pyre and one of the elders delivering the rights as the family wept. As the wailing continued and villagers crowded around the pyre, Vivien stepped back, fading into the crowd. She spotted Marjien and Celine standing hand in hand nearby and she slipped their way, coming to Marjien's other side.There was such desperation and despair in the lands of the Graire Province, they could almost feel it in the air, like an oppressive blanket of melancholy. Vivien bowed her head as flames grew higher and the mother who had lost her son screamed louder. It was aching sound that pierced her, and she wanted to help, but only time could soothe a painful loss like that and even then, it would never truly leave.A hand slipped into hers and gave her fingers a gentle squeeze. She glanced over

ELIJA smiled at her before reaching over and pulling her hood up and over her head, hiding her face. "Don't cry. It makes your face all red."While Elija tended to the stew, Vivien decided to make herself busy. She got up and started finding their bowls and utensils so everyone would be able to eat once they returned to the camp. She had all of them lined up by the fire when Lukas tumbled out of the tent, followed by a harassed-looking Dan."You're so boisterous, it's impossible for anyone to get rest when you're around," Lukas said, shoving his hair back with both hands.Dan skipped away with his happy mood and Celine went out right after them. She looked over at both Lukas and Dan's departing figures and she sighed, then she narrowed her eyes at Elija. "Are you burning that?""Nope, Mother, I'm stirring it diligently," Elija joked, holding up the spoon as proof. "I'm not an expert, but I do think it's almost ready.""Mmm…" Celine walked over and then
