When Meeka came back to their room, Eris was already sleeping, her breath was dragged and a trail of cold sweat crested her brow. Looks like the proud girl was just puttin on a brave front, but had overexerted herself much more that she wold admit.

Before the summons retired to their pocket dimension, however, Fafnir told the girls that Eris was just exhausted from both in and outward fighting and all that she needed was a good night of sleep to rest her body and sort her thoughts.

[hider Eris' Dream]There she was again, at the podium, after her very first fencing competition. Eris scored the second place, she'd nigh perfect scores, but failed parry costed the her final. However, the young Eris was just a six-years-old by that time, and her eyes shone brightly as she watched the rain of collored confetti cascade around her.

After she was allowed to leave, Eris made a bee line to her father, he was a stern man that never smiled and generally Eris feared, but still loved, him a great deal. She thought that doing her best and comming up so close to be victorious would make he  proud of her, how foolish was she...

"Do you call that an achievment?" Eris's father shouted, he then turned his hand and backslapped the trophy Eris held so proudfully, "No daughter of mine would have lost to these runts..."

As if to hammer the point of her failure on the already sobbing girl he turned his battle scarred face towards her and said, "Remember this for the rest of your life... a withered flower should be retired imediately. Don't bother me again, until you've achieved the top by yourself, you're no longer my daughter."

Standing at Eris' a yound boy only a year older than her, but who aready played the role of her personal bodyguard along with his father looked at Eris with an expression that she couldn't even remeber anymore.

All that she could recall i s that from that point onward, Eri vowed that she would not only achieve the top of the metaphorical hill alone, but that she would go beyond it and show her monster of a father that he was the withered flower that should be fed to the pigs.[/hider]

[color=9932cc]"Hff... hff...hff..."[/color] Eris woke up in the dead of the night, her breathing had became much more stable, but her body, clothes and even her bed were soaked in sweat. Eris decided to take a bath, even though this was an unusual time to do so, she couldn't stand the feeling of her sweaty clothes sticking to her body.

She got up from her bed, while taking the care of not waking up her roommates, picked a new change of night clothes from her drawer and went into the bathroom to take long hot shower. After Eris got out of it she noticed the soaked cloths hanging near the shower. [color=9932cc]"Lucille, isn't it? That girl maybe naive, but she acts like she was born on a mercenary camp. Definitely picked my curiosity, but..."[/color] Eris said to herself before poking the goofy stamp panties, [color=9932cc]"this is just tasteless."[/color]

After that, Eris couldn't get back to sleep, she had more than she woud need, anyway, plus her bed was too wet for her to even think of laying on it until she changed the bedsheets, which she was very disinclined to do now.

Deciding that a breath of cold air was that she needed to calm herself, Eris opened the room's window and just breathed quietly while gazing at the night scenery. Being half of a darkness aligned being, the quietness of the night and the chilly embrace of the light of the moon and the stars always worked wonders to calm Eris inner turmoil and so she just stood there like this.

Until, she heard the sound of ruffling leaves and looked at the nearby bushes to see a figure stalking in the dark around the female dorms. It wouldn't be a lookout, they would certainly be carrying flashlights since normal humans couldn't see as well in the dark as Eris's kind could. Probably it was one of those boys trying to sneak a peek on one of the female dorms, or perhaps even waiting to meet a secret girlfriend.

Nevertheless, Eris picked her sword and quickly flew through the air, landing right behind the boy, sword point aiming for the small of his neck, before saying, [color=9932cc]"Who are you and what are you doing here?"[/color]

"He he, looks like I've caught way faster than I thought. That's what I get for understimating you..." Then, as the boy turned to face Eris, a small tinge of surprise dotted the young girl's face, before she said, [color=9932cc]"What are you doing here,  fox?"[/color]
