“A spiritual disturbance?” Reala questioned with curiosity as she detected an unusual distortion within the Spirit Force flow within the Cosmosphere. She wanted to act, but unfortunately at the time she was too tied up at the moment to be of any assistance. She wasn’t alone in that situation since the girl that sat across from her who she could only see the back of was the same. Reala tried to fight against her bindings though she found out it was practically futile. “This is a waste of energy. While the guards are in confusion I should take the opportunity to get myself out of this situation. I don’t want to be around when this person shows up though I probably should watch from a distance to make sure nothing bad happens.” She said as she attempted to roll herself off the bed to hide her from his presence as she suppressed her spiritual essence enough to hide herself from detection.She then needed to act quick to prevent this presence from influencing her. Then it hit if she rolled under the bed that she would place an obstacle in the way where Spirit Force was less dense and more rural. Before she attempted to roll under the bed, she noticed that the download was almost complete and since there might be someone here to rescue Meira already she didn’t want to explain herself to either of them. Her mission was none of their business and it was a confidentiality that she neither thought nor registered in her memory to prevent anyone from getting plight of Stellvia’s plan. Though she never met Stellvia, if this was a friend of Siia then she knew that she could certainly trust them. She managed to roll herself completely off the bed onto the floor to hide her presence as the confusion was an easy decoy to avert anyone’s attention from her or what she was doing. Reala knew that the person who caused this energy distortion had to be strong, but she sensed a disturbing essence in the aura which made her not want to trust this person who might be coming to their rescue. Besides, she never asked for his assistance and wouldn’t be thanking him or sticking around for him to find out she was around. By the time she rolled under the bed, the download had completed where she managed to store all of the Memoria Matrix data onto the Chaos Rune she used to download Meira’s spiritual information with. “Finally that is done. Nice try at trying read my spiritual information but you underestimated my ability. Take this!” She whispered to as she saw something sharp underneath the bed which was the point a knife that was kicked underneath it when the panic all started where she managed to reach and grab one of her spirit defragmenters which she rolled out into the open where it detonated silently releasing an essence that disturbed spiritual connection flow cutting off much of the information they tried to extract from her body. Reala was too intelligent due to her mother’s cruel training for such primitive methods at reading her spirit, but she didn’t have time to prevent the other girl from having spirit read unfortunately. "Celesna is responding to the nature of this energy? There must be something disturbing about this Spirit Force for it to summon itself to my hand. It only does that when it knows I'm in danger." Reala questioned as a silver light emerged from where the weapons were stored that ripped through the floor and ceiling structure of the castle as Reala rose noticing the powerful presence where it appeared into one of her hands though they were still bound. This fancy looking sword had silver like angel wings for a hilt and a Ouroboros like handle. "Excellent!" She said in surprise that the sword automatically reacted as she used it to cut away at the ropes that bound her. “Come on, almost got it.” She said as she had almost gotten the rope cut that bind her hands. “Got it!” She said somewhat quietly trying to keep her voice down not to alarm anyone of that she was still presence in the room. She then cut away the rest of the ropes that bind her as she rolled out from underneath the bed then crept to some area where she hid herself from everyone’s presence where she was in a crouch position holding her sword in hand out of sight where the guards couldn't see her. The guards noticed that one of the girls was gone and the other two got distracted from the chill they felt. One of the ones in charge walked over and smacked the other two on the back of the heads telling them they were incompetent. "You idiots, the girl is gone! Find her now!" Both of them acknowledged him with a simple "yes sir" as they searched the room for her. Afterward he added, "She couldn't have gone far. Stop worrying about idiotic ghost sensations and look for her!" Two individuals ignored the others remaining present in the room to at least observe what was going on. One of the mysteriously cloaked individuals with a fancy looking hairstyle said toward his partner, “Seems there is more to this than meets the eye. I wonder what is to come from this event? It will be most interesting to find out indeed.” He concluded his brief conversation as the two walked away toward the window jumping out it. Before anyone could see where they went they disappeared out of sight. A woman stepped out of the shadows after all the people who fled the room suddenly fell on the floor motionless. Her face was mostly covered and you could only see her hair which was pink in color. The rest of her face was completely hidden by the veil of darkness that shaded her from sight. When you looked down at her torso she had her hand palmed out which was glowing until it quickly went out like a burnt out candle. It was unknown what she just did. “This is most certainly unexpected. Guess Ihaon was too careless to realize that this girl possesses the Sword of Quintessence Celesna. A sword that repels other spirits, most interesting indeed.” The pink haired woman looked at the other woman that was now completely hidden out of sight and you couldn’t see her at all. Her body was completely covered and a muffle made it so you could only see her sadistic eyes that peer into the eyes of those who dare stare at her. "We leave for now. I have no interest in helping that fool." With those words the pink haired woman and her partner both disappeared into a veil of darkness out of sight without a trace. Back in the room Meira noticed that the spiritual disturbance she felt earlier had dissipated. "Awkward, I felt a spiritual disturbance in the air and it just suddenly disappeared. What is going on? I probably should keep myself alert. What ever caused those men to go crazy like that may still be present." Meira said toward herself as she was still sat in her chair bound to it as she tried to contemplate her thoughts about what had happened a moment ago and the strange events that proceeded afterward. "It's so strange. I heard them yelling as if they were scared then it suddenly stopped like someone hit an off switch on a TV. Something unusual is going on around here and I need to be on guard so I can investigate the source of this event." She paused for a moment then remembered there was a girl with her earlier and a few minutes after that she felt a strange feeling inside her body that felt like a tingle. "I wonder what happened to that girl they captured. I don't hear her or sense her in the room anymore. She had pink hair and the same color eyes as I do. Her face looks reminiscent of my mother. I wonder why that is?" She questioned deeply in her mind trying to think of how that pink haired girl related toward her. Outside the castle, a figured dressed in fancy looking clothes that looked like they were from royalty or something fired a blast right in the direction of where they were holding Meira captive. Reala immediately detected the unusual amount of energy surging through the air where she burst out the window the two individuals had exited from where she used her sword to deflect it. The blast was deflected up into the air so that it wouldn't cause any noise such as an explosion that way the coronation could carry on as planned. "Who are you?" She demanded from the assailant who just about lit up the room Meira was in. A long dark haired man wearing mostly yellow and white robes started to grin at her. He didn't realize that he would attract the attention of such an interesting individual. He peered down at her with the same grin embracing his face as he took his sword into hand, "You are interfering with the deities. Stand aside, mortal. Know your place." The person grinned as they continued to use their wings by flapping them up and down so they could stay afloat. "I can't do that. You tried to cut the top part of the castle tower in half which could have endangered lives. That is reckless intent that I cannot ignore." Reala looked at him as a serious gaze embraced her eyes lighting them aflame like a fire in a wild lit flame devouring everything that is within its reach. "Did you find that meddlesome girl?" One of Meira's captors said to the others wondering if they had found the girl. They all shook their heads which irritated the man. He was so irritated by them letting the girl escape that he grabbed one of them by the neck and threw them out the window to fall to their death. "Find her now otherwise you'll be joining him." He demanded as fear embraced their faces where they scattered out in the room to look for Reala who was already outside dealing with a threat that tried to kill Meira. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The guards saw a girl approach them where they had to turn her away. They were under direct instruction not to let anyone leave the throne room no matter who it was under the orders of Archduke Valerius or that's what Duke Padraig said anyway. They had no reason to doubt his words where they carefully approached the girl. "I'm sorry miss. No one is allowed to leave the throne room until further notice. There's been an event that has happened outside the castle and for your own safety we have to keep you inside the castle sheltered from harm's way." The guard said as he turned Alice away from the door barring her from going out of it. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ranathia had managed to regroup with the others hoping that Nathan and Fenrir weren't too far behind. She looked at the group and listened in to find out what was going on and if it had to do anything with what she read in that document she had. Melianth tried to telepathically communicate with Alexander since she needed to report her findings to him. Alexander's Order regarded Melianth as a very important figure since she was very strong and intelligent. She was also good with finding out information and relaying it back toward the group. "Alexander, I think you should come over here. Seems Padraig dragged Meira off somewhere and now she has gone missing. It has been ten minutes now since the duke returned and still no sign of Meira." Siia saw that everyone was now present and hoping that the others would be joining them shortly. She would have to continue with what she was going to say since time was of the essence and there wasn't time to delay. It was imperative that they rescue Meira and Reala as soon as possible. She tried earlier to communicate again with Reala, but she wasn't responded where she noticed some kind of interference in the energy field was disrupting her communications with Reala. "It seems the enemy is putting their plan in motion. Reala tried to find out what they were up to, but in doing so she has been captured along with Meira. Her getting captured just confirmed my suspicion that Duke Padraig did indeed take Meira hostage. This is very delicate so we should handle this situation with care. We can't just aggressively gang up on the duke and demand answers from him. We need concrete evidence that he was behind her kidnapping. Leaving won't be easy either. Seems Padraig ordered his guards to make sure everyone stays inside which means he's up to something. I also detected rather very strong energy currents in the room that are dormant at the moment." Siia took a pause as she picked up her glass on the table and took a sip of wine. She knew it was too late to be embarrassed about letting everyone know her secret now. It was not that important to what was going on in the area. She needed to put that aside for now and concentrate on how to deal with the current situation. "If we travel in one group they'll get suspicious. So I suggest we split up into several groups as not to attract attention to ourselves and alarm the guests. The commotion could cause the people behind this mess to get aggressive and take matters into their own hands. One team needs to retrieve the video tape from the security room. Miia and I will serve as distractions so you can get passed the two guards and into the hallway. After you retrieve the tape make sure a man named Valerius gets it. Then I want that group to search the castle's high floor to see if they can find Meira. The next group will carefully and diligently search the throne for anything that is suspicious. If you find anything that doesn't belong in the throne room, something suspicious or an unusual person report back to me immediately." "Just hold on." Luhsein interrupted Siia having an idea of his own. "I'll deal with Padraig's guards. Siia and Miia you two would be the best candidates for searching the castle. Since I'm a highly regarded figure they have to obey my authority no matter what. My command usurps anyone within the Windgrace authority. It'll be easier that way and I want to look into something myself as well." "Very well, President Luhsein. We shall do as you request then." Siia added as she survey the area to see if anyone was looking and it didn't look like that was the case.
