Kaen POV An annoying sensation rose, pulling me back from my lulling dream, as I felt the cruel punch of sunlight upon my face waking me from my slumber. Another morning and yet it feels different from the last. I thought as I got up a little dizzy trying to remember where I am while scanning the room. Desk and balcony to my left, bathroom in front of me and wardrobe, and exit to my right. Ah! Yes... Terrius summer home. The design is quite befitting his family's name even if the beds have a creepy valance. I better head down, that cure won't find itself. I stretched like a cat before getting ready for another long day. I headed downstairs but no one was around. Maybe they are still sleeping? What time is it anyway? I wandered around the foyer finding an old grandfather clock covered in dust that hadn't been winded for quite some time. God this place is so dusty! I held my nose trying to keep myself from sneezing. One of the downfalls of being a beast. I sigh as I once again c

Hikaru POV " You guys did well. With this, I might be able to start running test cures." Terrius praises as he flips through the notes. " The help and trust of my man were what pulled us through!* Laughs*." They both said at the same time as they hook each other's arms around each other's necks. Terrius found it creepy that they both said and did the same thing but knowing that Kaen is imitating V4.1, it made sense. Terrius just shook his head before continuing to go through Kaen's notes while Kaen and Manor wolfed down dinner like there's no tomorrow. They must have used up a lot of energy and magic. They wolfed down 6 helpings of lunch in under 10 minutes as well. I recalled as I continued placing another serving in front of them, knowing that they would ask any minute. Terrius, on the other hand, skipped lunch and right now he's more interested in reading than eating. " Terrius you should eat something first." I advised. " He won't eat anything that's Terrific

Manor POV " And I think that's it." I said as I placed the final book on the table before returning back to my body. " Finally! My hand is killing me from all that writing. " My good man, Kaen, or should I say the wicked nickname I gave, Flames. Flames cheered as he rubbed his sore wrist. " *Laughs* Then why don't you just record which book and which page?" I asked as I returned to the table with my body but kept my back facing him while I waited for him to finish using his speed dragon powers. " Just to have him waste his energy looking for the book and the page? He already looks like a ghost, I don't want him becoming one." " Believe me, in many ways he's already one." I said as I reach my hand out behind me asking for a Hi-Five. " * Laugh* Nice one!" Flames laugh as he Hi-Fives me. I then leaned my body against the table. " You think Terry would be out by now? We did miss him at breakfast. " I absent-mindedly asked. " And following the pattern from yes

Manor POV " Argh." I groan after jumping down from the tree. I was lucky this tree was here or I would have broken something. I thought as I sat down in a secure part of the royal garden where the bushes and trees block the view to the rest of the palace gardens. V6 was already waiting for me, I bet he must have smelled me coming. " Wow, breaking an entry! That's a new low for you." V6 compliments me as I recover from the climb. " I wouldn't have to if you got me a palace pass!" " That crap is hard to get! They embroid your name into it when you join and when a palace pass goes missing the guards keep an eye out for it." " Don't tell me I have to climb that again! That's a really high wall!" " I'm actually quite shocked that no one saw you climbing it in broad daylight. " " There's a blind spot between the guard towers. Anyway, that doesn't matter, did you manage to warn V0 of the version slayer?" " Oh! Right! I managed to catch V4 when he was leaving the mansion

Kaen POV " You're still awake?" I asked as I approached Terrius who wearing glasses and looking through my notes with a half-empty bottle of whiskey on the table. " Of course I am, why wouldn't I be? How did you get past the locks?" Terrius looks up at me in surprise before leaning over his seat trying to see what I had done to the door. " I used to be an assassin, no door can stop me unless it's a barricaded one. " I shrugged. " Coming down here at 1 am for an assassination sounds like your normal routine if you were an assassin. " He says in a casual way as he continues looking through the notes. " Well, that's if you count serving a late dinner as an assassination. " I chimed as I held up the tray of food in my hands for him to notice. Terrius chuckled a bit as I placed the tray on top of the notes in front of him. He stared at the food for a while before picking up a spoon. " Something tells me you're not just here for a late dinner. " Terrius says when h
