[color=ed1c24]"Hmm, I see,"[/color] Eleonor nodded to Axon, listening to his story while eating a strawberry, her expression being a slightly dispassionate mask as she waited for him to conclude his whole report while slowly emptying the tray of the succulent fruit whose color wasn't very distinct of that of her own hair. [color=ed1c24]"Why don't you take a seat, Axon? We have much to talk about as soon as Lorelai comes back."[/color] Eleonor said, as she beckoned Axon to a chair beside the one Jessi was using earlier. [color=ed1c24]"Don't feel shy. Please, help yourself, if you are feeling hungry."[/color]

Fate would have it that they wouldn't need to wait for long, since Lorelai had just returned, bringing even more world shaking news, though Eleonor was already aware of some of the hidden moves among the Knights of Ragnarok and the Jester playing them as if pieces on a chess board. [color=ed1c24]"I see. To say the truth, I'm surprised that he took so much time to do so. Nifilheim hosted a private army that could have been serious trouble, plus he tried to get in the way of the other divisions on a constant basis. Midgard on the other hand, was unreadable and impossible to control, their mind was too alien even for the Jester, I believe; war hounds that can't be trusted not to bite their own allies should be put down, after all. Or so they say, even though I'm not a adherent of this philosophy. Actually, the only thing I believe that's keeping the Jester from doing the same to Yggdrasil and I is the fact that he must be amused by the Yggdrasil's attempt at a civil war. And for myself... there's things I think that are better left as secrets, especially when they involve the Jester."[/color] Eleonor said, just before eating another strawberry. The Crimson Knight appeared to be extremely fond of those fruits, indeed.

[color=ed1c24]"Either way, now that Lorelai is here, I can tell you this, Axon."[/color] Eleonor tapped the chair right beside hers, to invite Lorelai before continuing, [color=ed1c24]"You're mistaken on an account, Antonia has nothing to do with this whole situation. She's a priestess, thereby it's natural for her to know of many secrets, the information she holds is beneficial for Yggdrasil, since he can't overthrow me without a Legend Relic of his own and Antonia knows the location of one of them."[/color] Eleonor ate another strawberry, chewing the delicate flesh carefully while letting the story sink in on both of them, [color=ed1c24]"However, Antonia swore to protect the information with her life if need be. I'm a friend of hers, from when we both were at the Academy, she's a very dutiful person that we can trust. Unless someone solves the hidden puzzle at the Grand Cathedral, Antonia won't tell them, even at the cost of her life. That's why,"[/color] another strawberry went down Eleonor's throat as she paused before saying. [color=ed1c24]"I want you to help me, Lorelai, my dearest. As it stands now, you are the only one I can truly trust."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"I want you to come with me and help searching the Relic Antonia is hiding, actually, Axon will come as well. I'm sure you know that I'll want to keep an eye on you, now that you know so much, don't you?"[/color] Anticipating the obvious question from both of them, Eleonor said, [color=ed1c24]"Even Fei can't be fully trusted. I don't mean that she would betray me, but she's blind with her lust for revenge against Emilia, she would abandon the mission without thinking, if the Princess were to goad her. I can't risk Fei's life in such a way. She's my own flesh and blood, I won't send her to a place where she can die... not out of my own will."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"By the way, did any of you two know that strawberries are members of the rose family?"[/color] Eleonor said, apparently out of the blue. However, the fact was that as soon as Axon stepped in her house Eleonor had felt a very faint wisp of rose perfume around him, roses that only two persons in this world had access to and considering that one of them was the cohort of her sister, this left only another one to be the source of the smell Axon carried with him.

[color=gold]"I'm right here, Chenny Boy, Ruxy."[/color] Mikoto said, coming from behind a tree, holding her hat with a hand and her broom with another, [color=gold]"Man, I gotta say that... was a nice fireworks show."[/color]

[color=gold]"What are you gonna do now? I don't suppose you want to chase those grey-skinned hippies. That forest must be rigged with more traps than a trade contract with an Aquarian Merchant Prince."[/color] Mikoto said, casually reclining against the tree she was hiding behind and smiling at Chen and Ruxen in a knowing way. [color=gold]"But, if you do wish to go,"[/color] the Peddler Witch drew a pouch of potions from her backpack, [color=gold]"You'd better restock while you can, after all, how many adventurers can say that they are lucky enough to have their own general store traveling with them at every moment?"[/color]

One could easily say that the Twins' plan was a success, though there were some small setbacks, like for example the weird frog like things exploding in a rain of acid organs and entrails. Not only it caused the bridge to crumble before Alex and Tori could cross it (though one had to wonder why they were having so much difficulty making the trip, considering the powers they have employed up to now?) but also, causing some major damage to the Aquarian Twins' clothes, leaving Linea and Siena in little but their underwear and a few scraps of outer clothing.

[color=teal]"At least, I got some of them, Oneesama."[/color] Linea said, showing a page of her book filled with drawings and info about the "frogs".

[color=maroon]"Well, that's great, Linea. At least we'll have some fun when we get back to the Academy."[/color] Siena said smirking evilly, [color=maroon]"I can't way to see what'll happen when we drop'em on the pool during the girls' P.E."[/color]

[color=maroon]"But, before that, let's find something else to wear."[/color] Sienna said, clutching her sides while trying to shake of the water from her skin and fur, spraying it everywhere, like a dog right after a bath.

[color=teal]"I came prepared, Oneesama. Just get behind that bush."[/color] Linea said, dragging Siena with her to a suspect bush nearby.

[color=maroon]"Wa-wait, you can't be serious, Linea! Anything but that!"[/color] Siena yelled in distress, apparently Linea's idea was one that even she couldn't stand.
