NEPTOS Rein was strolling around the Galenus Market, looking for a booze, when he was blocked in his path. He halted and stared down at the small woman while she looked at him with a glare and a deep frown on her small face. She looked like a lion cub in front of a lion king.Somehow, it made him want to crush her. Almost like when he first encountered a certain cranky Lightning Kryst."Where are Chloe and Jucel?" she asked in a stubborn manner. Barbie Lewelyn stood in a proud manner, like all generations of Lightning Krysts shared. Compared to the others, most especially Levi Lewelyn, Barbie was the smallest."They're in a mission," he clipped before he moved to the side and continued on walking."You're lying! We saw them yesterday!" Barbie shouted at him. There were Demetri looking at their way when she shouted and it irked the old Water Kryst.He turned to her and narrowed his eyes at her. "They went in a mission and if you saw her yesterday then pr

“ALL seven of us will sleep here?” Marjien blurted out, skepticism laced in her voice. Standing was fine as they were now all standing at the center of the room but she was unsure how all of them could fit themselves to sleep in this tiny house.“Understandably, if the young lady should require different accommodations -” the elder began but Theo and Tara quickly denied.“And don’t worry yourselves for doing something for us,” the chief added, “My people have no need for help.”“But we must -” Chloe began but there was a force underlying her tone as if she was doing that to confirm something.“If you wish to repay us, you will leave at first light,” he snapped, “And you will remain here until then.”As the elder and his attendants left, the old man’s arm brushed against Vivien. The member of the Five Leaf Clover felt her skin crawl and she had to try very hard not to leap away from the old tyrant. Instead she fixed the old man’s retreating back with a g

CHLOE was staring at Vivien as the latter bolted upright and looking around in panic. She couldn't sleep as she was bothered by something. It turns out that the reason why she was bothered was this woman right here.Even if the room was dark since no windows allowed the moon to light the room, Chloe could see the panicking woman as clear as day. Perhaps it was one of the ability her golden eye had since she could only see Vivien from her left eye.Chloe looked around the room and saw that each one of their Auræ were calm and stable which indicates that they were already in there deepest state of sleep. It seems that their travel had finally put the group into exhaustion. Sleeping outside made them all jumpy and unable to take a good night's rest.When Vivien looked at her way, Chloe knew that the former could see her golden eye. She sighed softly and stood up, and she had somehow managed to cross the room without waking the rest of the group.Kneeli

VIVIEN woke up to dim sunlight and the feeling of being boxed in. It didn’t inspire any fear in her though, and when she opened her eyes and saw that the rest of the group was huddled around her, she understood. She was sitting with her back against the bricked wall, where she’d fallen asleep the night before. She remembered them reentering the village while she filled Kaiden’s grave, but they must have returned when she never came back inside the wall.Tara was curled into a pink colored ball between her and Theo, who was sharing his cloak with the pink haired older sister of his, if unwillingly. On her other side was Marjien, her head resting on Vivien’s shoulder, one arm gently gripping Vivien’s. Jucel was leaning against Marjien with Chloe snuggled into her best friend's side, and Drake had sprawled across both the Vivien, Theo and Tara because no other space presented itself.It took only a few minutes to rouse everyone and start gathering their things. They spoke l

FEAR. That was the first feeling Marjien ever had felt after so long. She hid behind a huge tree, clenching her fists to prevent it from shaking any further. Her eyes were wide and dilated as she stared at the ground."Marjien," Vivien called out to her from the other trunk. The said brown-haired lady turned her head while shaking uncontrollably. Vivien jad the eyes of a warrior. She held up her metallic bow, designed in a magnificent arc that could be the crescent moon. She was holding it tightly in its grip, a handle that was long enough for her second weapon. "Don't be scared and fight."Marjien took a deep breath and nodded. She had to fight. In the name of her princess, Drêy Zillah.Meanwhile, Jucel maneuvered towards the back of the Black Shaol while Chloe went to the front. As soon as Chloe was in sight, the three heads went in for a dive. The heads went straight into the ground, creating another blast. There were rocks flying around and into the trees where
