-After Novelle's betrayal was revealed Torami volunteered to be her cater while she was being integrated- (Kiyen) "Don't worry Violet I'm sure in time Torami will return to taking on missions with you!". It was great to have a commander who went out of his way to cheer us up. But the issue was I felt out of place....I was a former bandit the one who caused issues for Torami and Kiyen. I remember all those times I pretended to be in need of shelter just to weaken village defences before they were raided. Deep down I felt scared that Torami would turn on me after being betrayed by Novelle....she has had to deal with so much. At some point the bitterness has to kick in, (Violet) "Thank you Commander Kiyen I...". (Kiyen) "You can be honest with me, I too was a bandit in the past!" I um didn't expect to hear that. "I used my skill with a scythe to take down anyone who stood between me and supplies till one day I was challenged by Orulumi!".

(Violet) "I am guessing she won?" he laughed and nodded, haha I like how his attitude over my guess. (Kiyen) "You see I was given another chance and up till now I like to think I have used it well. You were willing to put your life on the line to aid Torami and I am sure she appreciates it! So use keep using your chance well". I gave him a hug because those were the words I needed to hear....the issue was this was my third chance! (Miyuki) "-Ahem- Commander Kiyen we have a new intel mission for you!". She handed him some sort of letter....I thought her squad would be the ones to deal with these issues? But I could see the shocked look on Kiyen's face, (Kiyen) "Violet me and you will be taking this one with 3 other members. It was an attack on the Abeuis clan". (Violet) "Yes Commander" I tried to hide my feelings, that clan wanted me gone.....after what happened to Don!". I went to go and collect supplies while Kiyen decided to others who would be coming with us.

The report claims a group of five Abeuis clan members had been killed on a supply trip! It was just outside of a neighboring town that was run by the Kaeini clan....Novelle's clan. We spent the next few days riding over to the scene to investigate, (Kaeini Member) "Ah welcome to Jadezell if you need accommodation please let us know". I could feel tension as he talked....they must think we were the ones who had betrayed their leader. (Kiyen) "Ignore them, the clans tend to think of their reputation we don't have to worry about that!" I clenched my fist, (Violet) "Did you forget I was an Albeuis..." he stopped. (Kiyen) "Through marriage right and you only kept the name because of Don!". N...no way how does he know, "I said I was a bandit we had a lot of intel on the clans plus I know you were a Deadly Blade's member before meeting Don. Since I was one too!" he was right, (Violet) "Can we save my story for another day I want to check on the victims!".

He agreed and we made our way over to the scene of the crime....it was mostly a stealthy job. One of them looked more injured so maybe he fought the attacker? I could recognise his face....he was one of Don's bodyguards! (Kiyen) "Do you have any deductions that can help us figure out who done this?". (Violet) "The blows are so decisive it has to be an Abeuis member....they pride themselves on being assassins and swift kills! Four were definitely done with knives but the last was a different weapon....which is confusing because the clan again is prideful and only uses knives. (Kiyen) "I see, I doubt two people were involved because an eye witness claims they only saw one person escape! Could the fifth member of been the one to do this?" I shook my head (Violet) "Even if he caught one of guard the other 3 would of killed him!". We went to stay at the inn to rest and decide our next move in the morning.

After a day of helping out at the florists I was able to make a bit more money but I needed to earn some more. Especially since Wodin can't afford to pay for his and Kaito's meals. It has been nice to be a bit more active here though since I didn't really hang out with others that much back home! I arrived at the usual meeting place, this time me and Shogo were more prepared and he had recovered from the awakening. (Kaito) "Are you guy's ready?" we both nodded, Wodin wasn't here this time! My Uncle said today would be busy as some woman made a big order for today I heard she was some sort of wedding planned. I took out the key and once again envisioned both the location and the host....(Anabelle) "Hey you tow. I have seen you guy's snooping around here!" (Kaito) "Stop the warp now!" (Shuie) "I can't....the image is stuck in my head". Oh man this is bad why did someone have to show up just as we are warping again?

(Annabelle) "Huh where are we? wait did my house get bigger?...no wait didn't that dog just talk?". (Kaito) "Drowze, you two go on ahead I will try and return her to reality!" We made our way back into the studio and once again the shadows were making dresses. There were so many different colours and patterns....I bet anyone could find their ideal outfit here. (Shogo) "Let's be a bit more careful" (Shadow) "Hmm looks like we have an intruder attack!" I took out the sword and swung at one of the attacks and it was able to actually slice them. A big group was then coming towards us....(Shogo) "I got hyaaaah" he tried rapidly stabbing at them and took them out. Wow these actually have sharp and sturdy blades, I turned around to see there was still one left! (???) "Please don't I swear the lady forced me to join her army. I am a humble Pixie....ugh if you spare me I can fight alongside you and cure your wounds!.

(Shuie) "Valmont if you can hear me what do I do?" I talked to the key and then, (Valmont) "Welcome it as your second persona. Boy you have a gift to bring forth the power of many beings so welcome this one into your group!". I unwrapped my cloth and tried tying it to the Pixie....huh it actually worked. (Shuie) "When I need you please lend me your power" (Pixie) "Sure thing". (Shogo) "Wow you can use more than one of those guys....hmm I wonder if you can collect even more?". Looks like I have another mystery to uncover...why am I able to do this? Luckily for us we were able to avoid drawing too much attention to us, we tried making it deeper and deeper into the studio. We found some sort of room that didn't feel like it was under Carmine's control like the others. (Kaito) "Ah finally caught up...ah this is perfect, this a room not as influenced by Carmine's perspective. Shuie do your best to memorize this room as we should be able to come straight here if we leave this domain!".

(Shuie) "Sure thing Kaito did you safely escort Annabelle out of this world?". (Kaito) "Sadly no I do not possess a key but I trust Eliza to keep her safe till we decide too leave!". We made a bit more progress through the area but then.....(Shadow Annabelle) "I see you two are snooping around here again. Those worthless minions....I guess I will have to take care of you myself...." (Annabelle) "Why is there a second me?" we both gave Kaito an angry look. (Shogo) "Annabelle get away from here this place is dangerous!" (Shadow Annabelle) "Hahaha look at nice guy Shogo acting all chivalrous. Oh don't upset Annabelle it's so pathetic how you act nice when it reality you want me all to yourself!" (Annabelle) "No I don't think that...." (Shadow Annabelle) "I bet he you just want those 10 seconds of fame from being invited to a dinner party with the model's sister! (Annabelle) "SHUT UP....this isn't me!" (Shadow Annabelle) "Hahahahaha" suddenly the girl turned into some sort of monster, (Shuie) "Dracius come forth I need your help with this one!"

As instructed the four of us met up at the park again, I was curious if we were going to go back into that weird world! (Wodin) "I asked you two here because I heard about your struggle to fight of all of those shadows. Shuie your persona may be able to use magic but it can only use so much before it's out of gas. So you two need to start fighting yourselves" (Shogo) "Are you kidding me we would get torn apart by those creatures!". A few people gave us some weird looks as they walked by us...(Kaito) "Keep it down fool...bark bark". Wow nice attempt to avoid blowing your own cover geez. "Um look when you both awakened your persona's they agreed to fight with you, trust us they are willing to give you some of their power!". I guess that made sense since we couldn't just force them out, (Shuie) "It would be a bit suspicious if we carried weapons around with us though!". The three of them all looked like they had the same idea...I was surprised Shogo was in on this!

He took me over to some shop...."Masamune's False Blades?" that was an interesting name. (Shogo) "He makes fake weapons....I will let him explain things to you!". We walked inside and there was a guy surrounded by candles, (Masamune) "Welcome stranger to my domain....oh it's you" he gave Shogo a disappointed look. (Shogo) "I know I um was rude last time but I swear I believe in your now, so please can you give me and my buddy here some of your creations?". (Masamune) "I see so you finally experienced the Perception" ugh I felt a bit confused. (Shuie) "What is the Perception...is it what you call the world full of Shadows?". (Masamune) "Yes, it is a world shaped by the warped perspective of someone with a strong shadow. For example that model lady as she views people as adoring fans or wannabe's. Also she believes her home to be some sort of high class studio right? You see she is a big fish in a small pond and due to her slight fame she has allowed that to corrupt her mind!"

(Shuie) "And the shadow is praying on her....when she is taken in by it's perfect visions of her it will take her place?". He nodded but I had one more question, "If you know this stuff why aren't you fighting to stop the shadows!". (Masamune) "Well let's just say some people do not agree with those actions. I myself have had my cloth confiscated and Wodin fears the same fate!". (Shuie) "I see I am sorry for my questions then" I bowed and he accepted the apology! (Shogo) "Can you provide us with weapons?" (Masamune) "You can buy them, sorry I am kind of under surveillance. If I just gave away weapons they might be suspicious!" he offered me a sword and Shogo a lance...I gave up the remainder of my money! Ugh Luckily I could offer to help out at the florists tomorrow! "Thank you both feel free to come again" ugh him waving us off was a bit over the top.

-Thump- I then fell to the ground ugh I must have been distracted. (Shuie) "Sorry for that" (???) "Oh don't worry about it it was partially my fault I was in a hurry!". This guy looked familiar for some reason, we let him go past and he went straight towards Masamune's shop. (Shuie) "So um how do these replica weapons help us exactly?" (Shogo) "Well the other world is all about perception so they see a real looking sword it will cut like a real sword....or I am hoping that's how it works!". We talked a lot more and he told me how he had met Masamune in the past. Time flew by and once again I felt my connection with Shogo felt stronger! (Dracius) "Ah Shuie I feel a little stronger now". We decided to go back to the studio place on Sunday as we wanted to make sure we were fully rested.

We made our way inside of the so called studio....there were creatures making clothing. I didn't like my chances if they were to all turn on us so we tried to avoid there attention. (Shuie) "Why are they making clothing?" (Kaito) "Simple to gain the hosts favour the more content with this space she feels the more her shadow gains favour!". Her shadow? I thought those creatures were called shadows? the more I learn about this world the more questions I have...after travelling through a few rooms we reached some sort of backstage area! There were people here....so many of them looked like shop owners and on top of that I saw some classmates! (Student) "Wow Carmine is the best...please notice me!". (Shogo) "Why is Derek here?" (Kaito) "It's not really him, it's let's just say a copy. It's how this um Carmine woman views people!" everyone was cheering for her and demanding her attention.

At first it seems kind of egotistical but the more I heard the praise the emptier it felt. It's like no one truly took an interest in her as a person just her fame....it's kind of empty. (Girls) "Look at us we are just like Carmine" a bunch of girls were walking down a catwalk like they were imitating her....no way (Shadow Violet) "That kid today was so dumb sis psh bet he was happy just to spend time with me! Anyone would be happy to be with me with legendary Carmine's sister!". (Shogo) "Do these fakes retain the memory of the person they are a copy of?" (Kaito) "No that girl is different....she is most likely the shadow of your classmate!" (Shuie) "Then if that's the case she is gonna to try and replace Violet right?" his silence gave me the answer I needed. "I call on Dracius" (Kaito) "Don't be an idiot they will overwhelm you!" That didn't matter right now I tried tapping into his power but the fire balls were not as big as last time! I took out a few of the fakes before they turned their attention to me.

(Shadows) "GROOOWL" there were so many different types of foes here...some went down in 1 hit and others 2-3. I felt exhausted and eventually I fell to my knee....I guess I have a limit on how much power I can use. (Orc Shadow) "I will take care of this nuisance my mistress's please feel free to retire to your rooms!" (Shadow Carmine) "I thank thee sir Orc now finish them!". (Kaito) "Darn it Shuie...you can't just throw your life away like this...". (Shuie) "I am sorry that I failed Kaito..." (Shogo) "Shuie how did you release that being?" I then noticed the cloth on Shogo's arm. Hmm can he release a persona just like me? (Shuie) "Okay Shogo rip the cloth off your arm but as you do it don't just expect your persona to show up. You must treat them as an equal and call their name!" he looked a bit confused. (Shogo's Thoughts) "Being within me please lend me the power to save my new found friend. I don't want to be a bystander again!"

(Shadow Orc) "DIIIIIIE" (Shogo) "I call forth the power of Lancell!" I could sense the same power as before. But this time some knight appeared in a red and sharp cloak, (Lancell) "Allow me to protect your friend and wipe out this foe Rapid Lance". He was launching none stop attacks at this Orc guy....he was tanking the hit's but I could see the pain in their eyes. (Dracius) "While he is being held back I have one more attack in me!" (Shuie) "Okay Dracius, Fireball one final time!" (Shadow Orc) "NOOOOOO MISTR.....". We were able to take him out but we both fell unconscious! (Kaito) "Looks like I have to save this kid again...and now his buddy too what a pain". I don't know how long I was out for but when I woke up we were at the park! I checked on Shogo and he looked okay....(Wodin) "So he awoke one too huh?" I nodded. Wodin told us to meet back up here tomorrow as we needed to rest after the last battle. After today I felt like my bond with Shogo had gotten a little stronger....what is this feeling?

The bell rang for lunch I guess it's time to see the fate of my remaining money! There was a Burger Joint, a Sea Restaurant and a Chippy, (Annabelle) "How about the burger joint it is known as Flare's and um it's pretty tasty!". (Shuie) "Sure thing" I got us both a burger, chips and some drinks, I got a sprite while she had a cola! It was weird how she seemed a lot colder to me back at class but since we arrived her she was a bit friendlier. (Annabelle) "I know you have only been here a few days but are you getting used to this place?". I thought about my answer, (Shuie) "Honestly I been struggling to get used to the place I guess today has been my most calm day so far". We continued to eat....suddenly a woman approached us, (???) "I see you eating junk again" she glared at me mid sentence. And wish some nobody no less!", (Annabelle) "Whatever he is just a meal ticket" (???) "I can't believe you wasted his gullible-ness on this place and not the restaurant!".

The two of them walked off....ugh, (Shogo) "Oh hey Shuie what's up?" I told him what happened. "Oh don't let it get to you Annabelle just thinks she is better than everyone because of her model sister. Just sucks you had to meet her, although this bad attitude of hers has become a lot worse lately!". (Shuie) "How drastic is the change if I can ask?" this could be info that is useful for Kaito. (Shogo) "I would say she is a lot worse now with how she stomps on the dreams of those inspiring to be like her. However her behaviour became worse and worse over time!" that was all I needed to know! I decided to ask the Burger Joint guy if there were any jobs available, he told me not here but apparently a Hotdog stand was looking for some workers on Wednesday's! After launch I spent the rest of the day hearing every one gossiping about me. I wonder if she just used me for the attention ugh what a pain.

I sent a text to tell my uncle I would be late home and I sent Wodin one telling him I wanted to meet up with Kaito! After school we met a park near Annabelle's house, I told them about what Shogo mentioned to me. (Kaito) "Hmm does sound like the shadows are trying to draw out her worst behaviour". I looked at Wodin and he was definitely in the know, (Shuie) "Hey um Wodin have you been taking care of the shadows here?". He nodded, (Wodin) "However let's just say I am currently out of commission!" I am sure he will be able to give me more info in the future, (Shuie) "So do I just use the key like before?" I took it out. (Wodin) "There is a bit more too it....you need to envision the person in question's view on their domain. And who they view themselves as" I see so it's not straight forward however I do remember Shogo saying something to me. (Shuie) "Take me to the Queen's Studio....." I got that familiar feeling from before! (Shogo) "What the hell is happening" (Kaito) "GRRRRRR".

Ugh this is bad....Shogo could be in danger but how do I even go back? (Valmont) "Boy it is foolish to take on these tasks alone. Over time you must find allies" huh what was he doing here? suddenly I saw the yellow door. "Whenever you need our assistance we will be in this room and it will act as your way home!". He then walked inside of the room, Kaito was still barking at Shogo ugh what a mess. I took a deep breath, (Shuie) "Kaito it's fine he was the one who told me about the model...Shogo this um situation is complex!". (Shogo) "I see well if I can be any help I am here, to be honest I saw you vanish yesterday. And I wanted to know more". I told Shogo everything I knew...but what do I do from here...go hunt those shadows or something? We were outside of the studio so I guess the first thing we should do explore a bit.

Suddenly I woke up....was all of that just a dream, (Dog) "Are you fine now?". (Shuie) "H..how can you talk or am I just imagining this?" he shook his head. (Dog) "This is all real, you have a gift shall we say to alter the fate of those you meet! This man most likely would of been replaced...." (Shuie) "Please don't say any more". I remembered back home...how the people I knew changed, they all became apart of some group and took over home. Those who did not follow were cast out which is why I ended up here, "Can I ask your name?" (Dog) "Sure thing it's Kaito". That guy I called on his name was Dracius I don't know why but he felt apart of me, (Kaito) "Use the key again but this time imagine a room!". I did as he said....this time I felt a warm feeling as I used the key almost like this space was more peaceful. I opened my eyes and saw some man sitting at the table, (Kaito) "Master Valmont the boy has had his first encounter with shadows".

(Valmont) "I see so you have met your other self then hmm Dracius I wonder what part him you reflect?". (Shuie) "On the train ride here you talked too me right?" he nodded. (Valmont) "You have shall we say experienced a tragedy that soon will befall this Town. You have a choice to live through the same experience again or solve the issue". (Shuie) "I will do what I can to help...but how?" (Kaito) "Simple figure out who is behind the shadows!". They are talking about a lot of things that I don't get....(Valmont) "I will send Kaito to guide you, the shadows will try to replace people. You must deduct who their targets are and battle them in the other world". I may assist you as well as my other guest" out stepped a woman in blue. "This is Eliza and she can offer you assistants", (Eliza) "My duty is to keep track of the shadows you defeat so feel free to check my records!". (Shuie) "Thank you I will do my best" I then left the room with Kaito!

On the outside I could still see the door....(Kaito) "Don't worry only you and me can see this -growl-. (Shuie) "-Sigh- Are you hungry?" he nodded so I got him some more steak! I am going to need to get a part time job to keep this guy fed...."Wait a second did that Valmont guy trick me into looking after you?". He smiled....I felt a strange feeling inside like my connection with Kaito had become a little stronger. I saw a flash of images playing in my head....(Shogo) "Hey Shuie there you are, I see you caught up with the dog!". (Shuie) "Yeah I got this guy some meat earlier so I guess he is a bit attached to me now!" (Shogo) "I see hope your uncle and aunt are fine with you keeping him". Ugh I didn't even think about that, hmm I decided to ask Wodin if he could help out. After all he gave me the key so the two have to be connected.

-The next day at school- (Mr Kuishin) "Now then class can anyone tell me the colour typically used for surrender. Hmm how about you mr Fleuren?" (Shuie) "Um it was red right?" (Mr Kuishin) "Ah yes correct" ugh I felt like he was trying to catch me off guard with that one! I continued copying down notes that were written on the board. My hand was starting to hurt....(Annabelle) "Hey new kid wanna go out for lunch?". I could hear everyone gossiping...ugh what do I say? I thought about it for a bit. (Shuie) "Sure if you are willing to show me the local food places!". (Annabelle) "Sure thing but you are buying!" ugh there goes more of my money....after school I am definitely looking up part time jobs!

I got up early the next day to make sure I was ready for school....I still had some time to spare! Guess I should get to know the area, I checked out the different shops in the neighborhood hmm a mini market, Butchers and Arcade. (Dog) "Brawr" I felt a bit caught off guard by it's whimper, (Shuie) "Wait here!" I went into the Butchers to get some steak. Luckily I had some money on me from home but I probably couldn't afford this stuff regularly. "Here you go boy" I fed him the meat and he chew'd away at it! I probably can't allow myself to be distracted any more so made my way over to Gray-Flow. I avoided as much attention as I could since I am sure people would start gossiping. The bell rang for registration....I waited for the teacher to see what I was supposed to do! (???) "Okay class today we will have a new student so please introduce yourself". (Shuie) "Hi my name is Shuie Fleuren and I am from Aristelle!"

(Student 1) "Wow Aristelle I heard that place used to be a wonderful Town" (Student 2) "Yeah then that group came along". (???) "That's enough gossiping back there!" (Students) "Sorry Mr Kuishin" he then gestured for me to take a seat. There were two seats available one near the back close to the door and another in the middle near the window! (Student 3) "Wow of course he chooses to sit next to Anabelle!" (Student 1) "She will probably reject him haha" (Mr Kuishin) "Did I not make myself clear on the gossiping?". The view from this floor was incredible you could see the marketplace from here. The gym field was also quite impressive, the lessons were pretty standard. Luckily I was pretty average so I didn't get aggro from being too smart or having bad grades! It was a mostly un eventful day minus the gossiping but I'm sure everyone will stop caring. I decided to go straight home since I didn't really know what else to do with my free time.

(???) "Hey um sorry to bother you but could I ask you a question?" I nodded. "Did you choose to sit next to Annabelle because...." (Shuie) "No I chose the seat because I like the window view. Plus the breeze can be quite nice" (???) "Wow everyone really misjudged you...sorry bud, my name is Shogo Meriman by the way!". (Shuie) "I see it is nice to meet you, I am staying at a florists so if you ever need flowers for this Annabelle I can help!". (Shogo) "Oh no way...but thanks for the other haha you have caught me off guard twice now". We talked as we made our way home, we eventually passed some house. I couldn't help but notice it, (Shogo) "That's where Annabelle lives her sister is a model. That place is like their Studio or something and her sister is the so called Queen of the stage". Huh? back home I remember people claiming weird titles and calling their houses some sort of fancy location. I looked over and saw the dog before and it was waving it's tail as if he wanted my attention.

(Shuie) "Sorry Shogo I have to go" I ran after the dog and for some reason he lead me to some abandoned construction site! (Dog) "Key" n..no way did he just say something? I reached for the key in my pocket. -Swoooooooosh- the area around me changed and it was some sort of...Shop! I could then see a man....(Man) "Wait you will really start a business for me if I let you take control..." some creature turned to look at me! (Creature) "Kill the intruder" a swarm then charged at me. (Dog) "Un wrap the cloth on your arm and let free your Persona!" (Shuie) "Okay" I pulled the cloth....it was too tight, (???) "Boy don't force me to aid you we must agree to be partners!" ugh this was nuts....I took a look at the creatures charring at me. (Shuie) "Please become my Persona the Count of the night Dracius" I ripped off the cloth and suddenly he stood in front of me. What was this guy? he then launched a fireball and destroyed all the beings before me. I started to feel my vision go blurry and I started to lose consciousness ugh what happened?

(???) "Hello there Shuie Fleuren was it? before your new start I wish to inform you of your path. When you arrive at your new home the actions you take will decide the future of those around you! But don't be scared for you have great potential now step forth into your new life boy". Huh...was that some sort of dream? I stared out the window and stared at the fields. I was on my way to live in a new town, (Announcement) "We have now arrived at Soulen the next stop is Yuipen Village!". This looks like my stop, I got off the train and as I made my way through the underground some guy stood in front of me. (???) "Welcome to Soulen my name is Wodin and I was asked to collect you and take you to your relatives shop". I felt a bit un easy with having to interact with a stranger...guess my aunt and uncle must be busy today or something. I loaded my suitcase into the trunk of the guy's car before he drove me.

(Wodin) "So do you visit your relatives here often?" (Shuie) "It's been about 10 years since I was last here! My aunt and uncle usually come to visit us" I doubt they would ever visit again after what happened at home. (Wodin) "I see well it's nice to meet you um..." (Shuie) "Shuie sorry forgot to introduce myself". The small talk was a bit awkward as I wasn't great at making conversation. While this Wodin guy seemed like he didn't want to be too nosy, I kind of respect him to be honest. (???) "Thou has the chance to form a bond, to become stronger learn to understand those around!". Ugh what was that voice? after arriving at the flouriest Wodin helped me bring my case in. (Wodin) "I have brought your nephew from the station just as you asked Mr Fleuren". Ugh it was kind of weird hearing someone other than my father being called that! (Ergen) "-Sigh- Wodin you have been working here for years I think you have earned the right to call me Ergen by now!".

I felt a bit un easy just standing around while these two talked too each other. "Ah Shuie welcome to our flouriest please make yourself at home, your room is the second on the left" (Shuie) "Thank you uncle, do you need me to help out at the shop?". (Ergen) "Hmm maybe on the weekends if you can spare the time, we are quite a well oiled machine if I do say so myself so you shouldn't be needed!". I decided to check out my room....it was a bit small but I guess I can chill here. -Knock knock- I opened the door and it was Wodin again wonder what he wants. (Wodin) "I will be leaving now but before I go I was told to give you this!" he gave me some sort of key. It was yellow and had some weird symbol on the end. "If the time comes you will know what to use it for!" he then left. That was a weird response but then again today hasn't been the most normal day for me.

Tomorrow I will be starting at Gray-Flow academy, I heard rumours about one of the students being a models sister. She has apparently been disappearing for a few days then showing up again. It was kind of similar to some incidents that happened back home, ugh I probably shouldn't worry about it. I took out the key again and looked at it....(Voice) "Soon...." huh what was that? I dropped the key. (Ergen) "Shuie are you okay?" (Shuie) "Yeah...just a little exhausted" he went back to work! Maybe the journey has taken it's toll on me, I decided to call it an early night. Tomorrow I planned on trying my best to not stand out at school, transfer students back home always told me how they hated the new kid attention.

He drew his weapon...(Icaru) "Before you strike us down can I ask why you want to kill all of us here?" (Crimson) "Let's just say my client wants rid of the unconscious one, the three of you is just to thin that peace group's numbers!". I guess this is how things end...I guess the only saving grace is Umbrell didn't get my scroll. -Click- just as he was about to charge....they showed up! (Kiyen) "Don't take another step" (Miyuki) "We won't hesitate" the pair of them held their blades to his neck! He then suddenly vanished....(Crimson) "Hyah...never let your guard down" -gulp- the second they dropped their guard her pushed them both back. (Kiyen) "Reaper's Edge" (Miyuki) "Blade of the Future" I can't believe Miyuki's speed she out ran Kiyen's attack! (Crimson) "Nullify...ugh hehe so you two don't feel a shred of doubt huh?" (Kiyen) "Of course not I have fought stronger opponents my whole life. I never backed down till the bitter end". The man seemed wounded pretty badly after both attacks.

(Crimson) "How about you? why don't you feel any doubt when facing me?". (Miyuki) "Simple I have full trust in Master Kiyen and when we fight together we will take any one out. Also you blew your hand when you waited till our guard was down to reappear. Now we know your ability is simply vanishing and not any form of teleportation". (Crimson) "I see you are one of those analyser types...with my current wounds and the other three getting a breather I doubt I can win the fight here! But next time I clash blades with any of you I will take you out" he vanished using a crystal liked the others. (Torami) "Thank you Commander Kiyen and Miyuki" (Miyuki) "Humph I too am currently a Commander so address me by my title!". (Violet) "Or what..." as she was done talking Miyuki and already approached her pointing her sword right at Violet. Her speed was insane....I would hat to be her opponent especially if she was analysing me at the same time.

(Kiyen) "Miyuki please put away your sword, if you were to hurt my squad members I would have to fight you!". She put her sword away and helped Icaru to his feet while Kiyen tended to Novelle's wound and picked her up! "Are you two able to walk on your won" we both nodded, we then decided to go back to base. (Torami) "Commanders if I can ask has anyone heard of this Disowned group before?". It took a bit for any of them to respond, (Miyuki) "Only a few rumours where there name has been dropped. They seem to be a group trying to build up their reputation....other than this Crimson guy only 3 other members have been confirmed!" (Icaru) "According to some scouts we can confirm they have been collecting bounties from Soalien!". I felt nervous hearing that....if he has a relation to warriors like Crimson he seems even more dangerous. I wonder if Novelle has any knowledge on this group? the issue is she will most likely be questioned a lot for all of her actions in the Peace Blades!

-Meanwhile back at the abandoned Kingdom- (Cres) "So you failed to take out Novelle then?". (Crimson) "Give me a break I had to face two Commanders....Nullify didn't work on either of them!". (Cres) "It is your own fault for thinking it would, they are warriors willing to fight an army just to create their idea of peace". (Crimson) "Their idea?" (Cres) "True peace will be the eradication of all opposing group's fighting each other for their own pursuits. Isn't that right master Ernest?" (Ernest) "Yes we shall take all others out and then destroy all Legendary Weapons. However we need to build our organisation first, this place is a nice temporary base though Cres!". We are the Heir's who were denied our heritage, we have lived the lives off unworthy civilians. But one day we will unite everyone in this land after the destruction of all Bandits, Peace Blade's and Clans!

-Gulp- there was no way I could handle these two....I highly doubt I could last in a fight against one of them. Plus I felt a bit blown up after my fight with Ulren...my eyes still stung from the sand. I saw them both reach for their weapons, (Novelle) "Umbrell you take care of her" (Umbrell) "Twin-Blades Scar" I dived out of the way as soon as the attack was aimed at me....Umbrell came charging at me. I swung out of desperation but he blocked the attack with one sword! He then pushed me back, "Sorry Torami but we need that scroll Twin-Blades Scar...". (Violet) "KNIFE EDGE WHEEL" n...no way suddenly I saw Violet appear out of no where! (Torami) "What are you doing here?" we both kept our guard up, (Violet) "The Bandits attack was most likely a diversion! After all a big attack like that would make it easy for a member or two of the Peace Blades to slip away huh?" (Novelle) "I see another clever one, guess I have no choice to take both of you out myself 100 Spear Strike!" We both prepared ourselves for the in coming attacks but there was no way we stood a chance!

But then suddenly I heard some weird sort of buzzing sound, (???) "I won't allow you to harm them! Chakram Wall of 10" the spinning blades were able to stop all of her spear strikes! (Novelle) "I see so you are finally out of bed Commander Icaru" so this was the one in charge of her squad. (Icaru) "You will -cough cough- pay for your treachery Novelle -cough-". (Novelle) "Still ill aren't you, I like my chances of beating you Dancing Spears". She charged at him with a blurry of attacks but he was able to guard them all with just one chakram! I then turned my head to see Umbrell charging at us, so he has lowered himself to cheap attacks. (Violet) "Are you ready Torami" I nodded, we had a little secret strategy planned! "Knife Edge Wheel" she created an updraft for me with her technique. Now I have to put everything into this attack, (Torami) "Piercing WIIIIIIIIIIND" I held onto the attack as long as I could and then launched the attack! (Ulren) "I don't think so....Desert Storm the fourth...ugh".

(Torami) "DARN IT..." I fell to my knee's that last attack took a lot out of me! (Umbrell) "Ulren...don't go past your limit..." (Violet) "Sorry bud this is where we end this fight Second Arte Knife Parade". I watched as she launched the attack at Umbrell but despite his efforts to deflect them all a few grazed him! (Umbrell) "We have no choice but to retreat Novelle" the two of them warped away. They used some sort of crystals, (Novelle) "I won't give up so easily, 100 Spear Strike" once again she launched the attack at me and Violet. (Icaru) "Coward I will protect them, Dancing Chakram" despite the time limit he was able to block the attack again but he fell to his knee! (Novelle) "Face it you are on a time limit due to the poison I have been giving you for months Commander!". (Icaru) "So you -cough- admit my illness was your doing" (Novelle) "Of course with you un able to lead I was able to influence your squad. Oh and Torami I set up that trap at the tower to get Orulumi out of the way. She was so desperate to fight Soalien she did not even suspect the one at the tower was a fake!"

I started to shake with anger...."Now don't worry you can join her in the after...ugh...the pain". Suddenly a wound appeared on her waist and someone walked past her! (???) "You talk too much, I can't believe you didn't just finish these three off". Despite all that she had done she needed to be arrested not killed, (Torami) "Violet do you have one more attack in you?". (Violet) "Of course let's take this guy out and take Novelle back to base!". Once again we went for our combo attack, "Knife Edge Wheel" she generated a much stronger updraft this time. (Torami) "We won't allow you to get away with attempted murder, Piercing Wind". I once again put all I had into my attack....(???) "Forbidden Arte Nullify" n...no way my attack faded away too nothing....(Torami) "How?"(???) "Nullify is an arte that cancels an opponents technique if they feel even a shred of doubt. It will be the Disowned specialty, if it will give you peace in death the new name of your killer is Crimson!"

(Squad Member) "All warriors please report to the entrance" huh there was some sort of emergency. (Torami) "What is happening Commander Kiyen?" I stood waiting for all the others to arrive! He looked a bit agitated, (Kiyen) "It would appear a large group of bandits was reported to be heading in this direction. We fear that Soalien is launching an all out attack!" I reached for my sword as soon as I heard that name! It was because of him....(Violet) "Torami calm down...Commander I um doubt he would launch an attack on our base". (Kiyen) "Hmm and why is that?" I remembered back at the tower how we were able to easily infiltrate it. I doubt his men would win a battle against us, (Violet) "Simple the Peace Blades are far more skilled warriors. Not to mention he has high bounties on Terizeal and Icaru....that's how much he fears them!". (Kiyen) "I see, Torami I want you to continue with your journey. Me and Violet will escort you outside just in case any bandits are around".

(Torami) "Are you sure about this?" he nodded so the three of us made our way outside. There didn't seem to be any one around so I set off on my own, I travelled through a desert. Luckily I had a decent supply of water and had worked on my ability to manipulate the wind so the heat didn't get to me. The more I traveled the more I felt the region was empty as there were very few towns or villages near each other! After a long journey I eventually made it to the town known as Redsing it was quiet! I noticed that no one was around.....was the scroll hidden here or something. I decided to enter what looked like the elders home and.....(???) "Sorry kid but it's just you and me!" it was the guy who was with Umbrell! (Torami) "Piercing Wind" I launched the attack right at him but he guarded it! I then realized I needed to leave the house.....(???) "Ah so you realized the disadvantage you were in. Shame the breeze isn't as strong here, the names Ulren and I will be taking that scroll from your corpse!".

(Torami) "I don't think so, you are going to pay for the commotion you caused at Lumin City!" I started slashing away but he easily guarded all of my attacks....my only real opponent since becoming a Peace Blade member was Violet. So maybe I was still not ready for combat we kept exchanging slashes. This guy didn't seem that strong but I can't under estimate him, (Ulren) "Desert Storm" suddenly he generated some sort of tornado of sand....AAAAH my eyes. "Now become become one with the desert" I desperately jumped out of the way of his attack but I could barely see! "You can't dodge my attacks forever Desert Storm the second" once again he launched an attack at me so I jumped on a roof to try and escape! N...no way it was tearing through the building, maybe if I rush through the house I can catch him off guard! I charged right at him but he was able to easily deflect my attack....who was this guy? "If you are curious I am a former member of the Peace Blades!"

(Toraim) "If that's true then how could you allow those attacks on Lumin City....you scum". (Ulren) "Oh please how long did it take for them to replace your Commander, they swap out members all the time and don't even care about the fallen. But I will spare you the true ugliness of the group, Desert Storm the Third". Now I have to time this right now (Torami) "Piercing Wind" I used the slight draft created from his own attack against him. I then shattered his sword before he could pick it up, "Now tell me how do you know about a Commander passing away?". Suddenly I heard clapping nearby and I turned around and could not believe my eyes. It was Novelle and she was standing next too Umbrell, (Novelle) "The fact you picked up on that was impressive!". (Torami) "Why are you...no wait did you tell me to give up the scroll..." (Novelle) "Yup cause I am working with these two. The three of us plan on finding the Blade of Hope and making everyone bow down to us!".

-Far away in an abandoned kingdom- (???) "Grande Blade, that makes 100 lackey's. Now do you plan on fighting me yourself Witch Eresa?" (Eresa) "Sure I guess you are worthy of falling to my magic but why are you Witch Hunting? After all we are able to completely utilize magic outside of arte's. We simply want to rule a tiny bit of land so we really aren't worth fighting now are we?". (???) "No but there are those who pay highly for a Witch and our organisation needs the money!". (Eresa) "FOOL I won't be no one's prisoner now you will suffer for angering me" -large waves of magic began to build- (???) "HYAAAAAAH".

-Back at the Peace Blade's base- (Torami) "Wait can you try and get info on the third scrolls location? Let me guess I won't be a fan of who is doing the digging..." (Violet) "Okay I admit I have some of my bandit friends on the case! But with the money we we get for requests we can pay them....and then they won't be focused on you know stealing!". Ugh what a pain but I guess keeping them out of their usual mischief is a good thing. (Novelle) "Ehem Torami can I have a word?" I agreed and left Violet to prepare for a request she had taken on, (Torami) "What is it Novelle?". (Novelle) "I don't think you should be relying on bandits for help, you should gather info through my squad. We have a lot of intel gatherers" (Torami) "Yeah you make a good point..." I felt like I needed to adapt more to the Peace Blades way of doing things! After all who knows how much damage could of been caused if I fought Umbrell at Lumin City. Even that Rizelumi waited till we were outside of the city before using his attack.

After a few days I was finally given some info on the location of the third scroll. Apparently it was in some town near an abandoned kingdom, (Torami) "Thanks for the help Novelle". I asked Commander Kiyen if I could go off for a few days, (Kiyen) "It will limit our work but I guess a few days will be fine!". (Violet) "Commander can I go...." he gave her an angry look, (Kiyen) "NO being down one team member is bad enough but two is out of the question. I am not a push over so don't go taking liberties" he then stormed off. (Torami) "Sorry that you can't come too Violet but I promise to fill you in after!". (Violet) "I see well maybe one day we will get the chance to fight side by side again". I then went to go and pack some supplies, I then had a visitor, (Novelle) "I prepared a special meal for you!" (Torami) "Oh thank you but you didn't have too" she just smiled and wished me luck. I decided that I would set off tomorrow!

-Meanwhile back at the Abandoned Kingdom- (Eresa) "-Breathing Deeply- H...how can you negate m...my power?". (???) "It is known as a forbidden arte it is the specialty of the Disowned". (Eresa) "I...is that w..what you call yourselves" I nodded as she fell unconscious! (???) "Good job Cres, already taking down a witch no wonder boss ranked you as our third". (Cres) "Rankings mean nothing to me all I want is for this world to fear us Disowned. They will rule the day they tossed us to the side and left us to rot...." why did I still struggle to say those words? (???) "Whatever at least we will get paid handsomely and should be able to start building a base of operation!". For now people will only hear rumours of our accomplishments but soon enough we will become the enemies of the others trying to rule this land!

The attacks came right at me but I held them back with a defensive stance! (Torami) "Umbrell what are you doing here?" everyone heard me call out his name and he just stood there. (Umbrell) "Hand over the scroll and no more damage will befall this city". I clenched by fist I can't believe he would resort to a dirty tactic like this, (Torami) "Why not fight me for it after all you have always bragged about being stronger!". I prepared for a battle but Novelle stopped me for some reason, (Novelle) "Hand him the scroll". (Torami) "No way....we can arrest him and...." (Novelle) "Torami we don't know if he will pull off any more explosions like the one from before. Sometimes we have to lose a battle to win the war for peace!". I guess I have no choice I took out the scroll, (???) "Thanks kid" it was the man in the shop before so he is working with Umbrell then! The two of them ran out of the village, (Squad Member) "Novelle we were able to capture the thief from the reports".

I spent the night at the inn and I felt annoyed with myself for giving in so easily. Novelle tried to talk to me but I didn't want to hear it, I'm sure any of the others would of tried to stop those two. But then I remembered her words about sometimes having to lose a battle. I guess it would of been wrong to put the civilians of this town in danger just for the scroll. -Knock Knock- I let whoever it was come into the room, (Shop Owner) "Thank you for keeping an eye on my shop. I um heard about what happened with the scroll so please take the one in my possession!". (Torami) "Are you sure about this? after all I let the other one be taken so easily". (Shop Owner) "Yes after all if my scroll is away from here the city will be safe. Also you know who has your old scroll so you just need to learn the thirds location!". I thanked him for the scroll and decided to call it a night since we at least solved the thief issue.

We were about to make our way back to base when suddenly we were greeted by a group of people. They were all wearing yellow stripes on their outfit just like Orulumi. I started to shiver were these members of her clan? (???) "I heard the name Torami mentioned now which one of you goes by that name?". I got off my horse and made my way over to this man, (???) "Secret Art The Blade that Reaches Heavens". Suddenly I fell back as a huge energy sword shot up through the ground.....the others drew their weapons. (Novelle) "Rizelumi please refrain from..." (Lumi Member) "How dare you address a head clan member without permission". The man stopped the rant with just a hand gesture, (Rizelumi) "It is fine I merely wanted to see the will of the one my sister sacrificed her life for. And it is disappointingly weak, Orulumi swore to surpass me one day and she threw that dream away for you!". I felt bad for how things turned out (Torami) "How can I make things up to you" I fell on my knees.

(Rizelumi) "Don't let her memory die" he then began to walk away with the rest of his clan. (Novelle) "Torami are you okay?" I shook my head....I now had 2 reasons I needed to get stronger. One to stop Umbrell and two to show this Rizelumi guy that Orulumi did not sacrifice herself in vain. As we rode back to the base I wondered what to do next....I was basically back at square one when it comes to the scrolls. Hmm maybe I should ask Commander Kiyen what to do about the scroll. After a few days we arrived back at the base and I decided to lye down as the mission had exhausted me. I can't believe I got to witness the Lumi's secret art....It was incredible. It made me wonder how strong Rizelumi was, I decided to tell Violet all about what happened and she told me she had a plan!

After a couple more weeks we were able to solve a lot of local village's issues. For a couple of them I had to help build some houses and grow some crops which was exhausting! Then finally we got a request from Lumin City....I needed to go on this mission, (Tormai) "I um really want to take on this Lumin City request Commander!". He looked a little shocked, (Kiyen) "Sorry Torami but this request was given to another squad!". I felt disappointed but I guess it can't be helped since our group has been requested for a lot of manual labour lately. While this one was some sort of stake out to catch a mysterious thief. (Novelle) "I am sure Commander Icaru would be willing to allow you to let you aid in my squads mission!". No was was I finally going to get the chance to go to Lumin City...(Kiyen) "Fine you have my permission to go if Icaru allows it!". I decided to go and pack supplies just in case....Kiyen then stopped me, "Be a bit more careful around Novelle....sorry but I don't trust her!".

-Over at Lumi CIty in a back alley- (Umbrell) "I can't believe you expect me to rummage through these shops!". (???) "We need to find that scroll...my intel was only able to confirm it is in this city. Plus it's your own fault for failing to find it in your home village, if we did we could easily draw out the second owner here". (Umbrell) "They some how knew my attack was coming.....I had to fight a man I respected a lot" (???) "Hmm so what exactly happened?" (Umbrell) "He did not expect me poisoning his food before hand, I took his life....then gave him a burial. I am prepared to one day be judged by his apprentice but before then I hope to see the Blade of Hope!". (???) "Don't worry kid I am sure our allies while locate the third scroll while we collect the one here and the one form your home village!".

-At the entrance to Lumin City- (Tormai) "Wow this place is incredible the buildings look beautiful!". (Novelle) "Ah yes I heard the Lumi clan put a lot of effort into designing the shapes of the buildings. They believed it would appeal those looking on from the after life". I signed after hearing that....we went to the nearest tavern to get a brief on the mission! "There are 5 locations we will be keeping our eyes on a the Market, Jewelers, Blacksmiths, Luminous Book Shop and an Atelier!". I let two others volunteer for locations before me....(Tormai) "I would like to watch the Book Shop!". (Novelle) "Sure thing but I wish to assist you" I wanted to say no but she out ranked me. (Squad Member) "I would take Novelle up on the offer she has basically been leading our squad!". Huh that's interesting to know...I guess the Head Commander wanted to keep her in this squad since she is keeping them together while their Commander is ill. We made our way over to the shop and hung around nearby but not right in front of it!

A few hours passed but there was no suspicious activity at all, I got us some lunch! (Novelle) "Thank you Torami, you can go in the shop if you have some business there". (Torami) "Thanks but shouldn't we focus on the mission over my errand..." (Novelle) "It's fine I'm sure I could take on the thief by myself if they show up!". I ate up and decided to go into the shop, it was pretty big....I reached for the scroll to see if showing the owner it would get me the info I was after. I stood by the counter....suddenly a man stood next to me (???) "I know you and your buddy are watching the place!". I drew my sword without hesitation.....-BANG- I ran outside to see what happened. (Novelle) "That came from the Market place let's hurry! we both rushed over and as we arrive we saw some locals holding the a Light Barrier up I guess to stop the explosion from damaging too much. I then looked around....no it can't be...not him. (Umbrell) "Twin Blade Scar".

A week has passed since my last mission and I still see the image of the tower collapsing on master! And what was even worse we later learned that the man running the place was just a decoy. Orulumi gave her life to save us from a trap....I feel disgusted by this world right now. (Violet) "Torami...they are holding some sort of meeting and I think it's best we go". I wondered what even was the point of me being in this group if I just let someone sacrifice themselves for me. I just sat still.....I don't know what to do anymore, -knock knock-. I didn't respond but whoever it was came in, (Novelle) "I know you are still upset about Orulmui but I want you to come to the meeting. She would want you to carry on in her place" (Tormai) "No...she wanted to prove herself as a warrior and she threw that goal away for me someone who can barely defend them self!". (Novelle) "No she sacrificed herself so you could learn about the scrolls".

I suddenly started to shake....."Don't worry she told me all about that scroll you have! I can help you find the truth if you wish" I nodded, I then decided to go to her about the meeting. I need to know why I was trusted with this scroll, we arrived and it looked like all of the members of the Peace Blades were here! (Terizeal) "Thank you all for coming today....unfortunately one of the four Commanders has not returned and we must fill the role to keep the group going!". Those words stung to hear....I can't believe she is just going to be replaced like this. (Novelle) "I would like to volunteer to become a new Commander as I knew Orulumi and her squad well". Everyone started to gossip....I clenched my fist, (Kiyen) "I disagree, instead I think I should become the squad's Commander and my second Miyuki be tested as a commander of my Squad!". (Miyuki) "Master are you sure I don't know if I'm ready" (Kiyen) "That is why it's a test, I think this is a better solution since you are familiar with the squad!".

(Torami) "SHUT UP....how can you just replace Orulumi like this she was...." (Kiyen) "My friend that's who she was". I backed off a little bit as he said this, "I am merely offering to provide your group a leader to turn to in her absence!". (Tormai) "I am sorry Commander Kiyen" he put his hand on my shoulder and told me he understood! But everyone was still gossiping, (Terizeal) "Silence, I agree with Kiyen's suggestion as, Miyuki you will be the 4th Squad's temporary commander". But part of me felt like Novelle would of done a good job leading our squad. Huh it just hit me there were only 2 Commanders present...is that other one still ill? (Violet) "Hey um Tormai what do you plan on doing now?" (Torami) "I will continue to fight for the Peace Blades....and I would be happy if you could join my squad". At first she looked off put by the idea but after thinking about it she agreed to join me.

(Kiyen) "Don't think I will go easy on you two just because of what took place. We are fighting to create a peaceful future and I don't want any one slacking!" (Tormai and Violet) "Yes Sir" he then gave us our next objective which was to sort out another group of bandits. (Tormai) "Hey Violet do you know anything about these guys?" she shook her head. (Violet) "They are probably just a bunch of nobody's who have taken advantage of the chaos lately. I think we can take them down in a day". We sorted them out the next day and continued taking on mission after mission.

I had a dream about the days before my life changed....disappointing Sayuri with my slow progress. Getting sniped at by Umbrell because he had already mastered his swords. And the Mayer sending me out to do some errands....I just wish those days could return! (Violet) "Hey Torami it's time for us to head for the Tower" (Torami) "I know". I had a few medicine supplies with me just in case, we met with Orulumi and made our way straight over to the Tower. "So um how exactly are we supposed to get inside?" (Orulumi) "Simple one of Kiyen's men will unlock the door! You see his squad specializes in infiltration if any criminal's decide to fortify and hide away". (Violet) "Then why are we the one's taking on this mission? surely this guys team should care of...". (Orulumi) "Let's just say Soalien would be too much for Kiyen to handle!". Part of me felt like Orulumi didn't just want to fight this guy to stop the attacks on the villages.

We arrived at the Tower at a side point and after about 10 minutes a passage opened! One of the squad members I saw before left and the three of us made our way inside. I kept my hand by my sword at all times but the place was quiet. I noticed a couple guards were un conscious I guess that guy before made sure we had a clear path to the leader. (Violet) "So um are you the strongest of the Peace Blade Commanders?". (Orulumi) "I would rank myself the 3rd but lately one has been ill so I doubt he could take me in a fight at this point in time!". -Gulp- The way she easily caught opponents off guard and even deflected a hidden art intimidated me. And to think she considers at least two of the others stronger than her....I starter to shiver thinking about how strong they were. We were arrived at a big room and a man was waiting for us! (Orulumi) "Hmm that dark blue hair suggests you are the one and only Soalien!". So this was the guy we were after....(Knight) "Please call me Knight I despise that other name!".

The two of them drew their weapons and charged at each other, back and forth they went. Each strike was nerve wracking as neither of them seemed to get the upper hand on the other. (Knight) "Frozen Field, this should make things easier" he froze Orulumi's feet and he went for a decisive strike! (Orulumi) "Barrier of Light" she was able to hold off his attack....huh? was he un able to break through her ability? I thought this guy should of been able to break through a skill like that if he was a true heir. "This will be the final strike HYAAAAAAH" she was able to get a decisive strike one him! (Knight) "Uuugh.....It -blagh- time to detonate the bombs" suddenly we heard a bunch of explosions and a bunch of men were running around the place. (Orulumi) "NO this can't be a trap...." (Knight) "Let's fight again in the after life" -thump- he fell to the ground! I fell to my knees I guess this is where things end for us....the explosions were still going on.

(Orulumi) "BARRIERS OF LIGHT, Tormai Violet leave now" (Tormai) "No I can't leave you behind master....the world needs you!". I saw her pull down her collar to reveal a smile, (Orulumi) "Torami become a stronger warrior one that can find the truth behind the scroll you possess. I have to stay and hold up the barriers, when you have a chance visit the book shop in Lumin City". (Tormai) "ORULUMI I CAN'T...." -whack-, (Violet) "Thank you for giving me a second chance I will make get her out". (Orulumi) "Thank you Violet" as the two left all I could think about was my brother. He could easily hold up these pillars and walk out.....I guess I was a fool to think I could surpass him! -Crumble-

We spent the next 2 days travelling till we reached a town that had a tower relatively close! (Violet) "That tower is where Soalien Knight's base of operation is, what's the plan to get in?". (Orulumi) "You are a fool to think I would trust a former ally of his with my plan!". As cold as ever I guess....but I get where she is coming from there is a chance that Violet would backstab us. (Torami) "Master will the three of us be the only ones too enter the tower?". (Orulumi) "Yes, Soalien is the only one I see being a major threat. Torami like you he is in possession of a legendary weapon, Soalien is his family's name but he chooses to use it as his first name after exiling his clan!". (Torami) "Wait what? how could he betray his own family like that?" (Violet) "He is making sure no one who shares his blood can get close to his weapon, who knows maybe you would do the same". Suddenly Orulumi raised her blade too Violet's throat...I could feel pure anger from her.

(Orulumi) "Torami is what an heir should be, someone willing to fight for the lives of others!". Then suddenly Violet smacked away Orulumi's sword....(Violet) "You know nothing about Don....forget that. Just stop judging all heir's by your limited scope" (Torami) "I am sure Orulumi feels sorry for insulting the Abeuis clan!". She nodded but did not seem to show much remorse...I never asked about either of their pasts. But they seem to have two different experiences with their respective clans! Suddenly a group arrived in the Town on horses with some of the face's looking familiar. (Orulumi) "Torami and Violet show Commander Kiyen's squad to the inn I have some things to discuss with him". I followed masters orders but was curious about what she had to say to him. She told us that it would just be the three of us attacking the castle! (Torami) "So um will you guy's helping us siege the tower?" a girl shook her head. (???) "We will be stationed here to protect the Town and only provide back up if need be". I still wasn't sure we could handle this mission with just 3 of us!

"It makes no sense why Commander Shilumi would bring you two as backup over Commander Zienzen or me!". I just looked down she was right I lacked the experience for this battle, (Violet) "Maybe she trusts Torami to actually fight for the peace of all the villages in danger over a snob like you". (???) "That's pretty rich coming from someone who was a key part of said attacks. Maybe I should punish you for your crimes here and now!" she drew her sword. (Torami) "Please stop, me and Master need Violet in case there are traps set up in the castle. I know you out rank me but please believe in us..." she put away her weapon but didn't say anything else. She was not even willing to introduce herself to me, (Inn Keeper) "Order up her are the Potatoes and Roast Beef". We all ate, (Violet) "Hey Torami thanks for sticking up for me I really appreciate it". (Torami) "No problem we are allies after all" we ate until the two commanders came in.

(Orulumi) "Torami and Violet I suggest the two of you rest now, the attack on the Tower will be at 2AM". -Gulp- the idea of attacking at night made me feel even more nervous. I looked over at the girl from before and she gave me a disappointed look, I have to show her what I am capable of. Me and Violet decided to go to our rooms and rest up before the attack. I noticed that master was still talking to that Kiyen guy....I wonder if they are good friends? She never seemed like much of a socializer no I can't let myself be distracted I will need all the rest I can get. (Kiyen) "Are you sure about putting your trust in these two? one is a rookie and the other could be a traitor!" (Orulumi) "Yes, Kiyen I believe that they could be shaped into warriors that will help shape a better future for us all!"
