A girl who looked just like Meira was being lead toward a room by a group of soldiers. The WW Division of the Cimmeria Empire requested the use of Project Eve which is a girl with pink hair. This girl wears black shorts and a white blouse along with white tennis shoes. To complete her look are a pair of blue thigh highs. Her eyes are as blue as the sky like Meira and her hair as pink as an ume blossom during a fresh ripe season. They lead her into a room where her guest who wanted to meet her was waiting. One of the soldiers from the Project Rebirth Division removed her restraints as requested by the person who summoned her. [b]"Are you sure you want to leave her power unchained? This girl is an exact replica of her original, sir?"[/b] The soldier questioned as he sent away his guards who unrestrained the girl.

“The best restraints are the ones no can see. If she tries to use her magic, it will simply cause an explosion.” the older man said condescendingly to everyone involved. “Guards, you are dismissed.” 

[b]“Very well. She’s no ordinary girl, that’s for sure and quite a handful. If you think you can handle her without taming her then she’s your problem now.”[/b] The guards said as they left the room leaving the pinkette behind with this man.

The old man smirked as the two guards left the room. As they left, the room, it appeared to change. What seemingly was a regular room faded away into a silver chrome room that was a perfect cube, strangely enough it also seemed to lack a door. At the same time, the old to middle aged man seemed to fade away and his place, a being of pure magical energy that resemble the silhouette of a man with no facial features other than two sapphires where his eyes should be. “I believe you to be worthy of seeing my true form unlike those bureaucrats. Now, I have summoned you to ask a simple favor.” the being said.

[b]“Hmm…”[/b] The girl pondered as she placed her finger at her lip. She kept it there several minutes as she curled it where the part that curled touched the bottom of her lip. She thought to herself as she tried to talk to the presence inside her. [i]He’s using pure energy though in an incomplete form.[/i] 

A voice inside her said toward her [i]be careful with who you trust, my vessel. For some mortals can deceive you into thinking they’re helping you when they’re only using you as a stepping stone. Though I may be weak due to my current rebirth, I still am very self-aware and have retained my wisdom. You were not the one originally destined to become my successor, but with circumstances falling into place like they are and everything going as according to the prophecy, you are the Providence Breaker.[/i] The voice said as it suddenly went silent. The voice didn’t appear to introduce itself yet, but the girl knew from her connection with her other selves who she exactly was.

Turning her attention toward the man as she left her deep thought she looked at him as he said he had a use for her. She remembered what the voice told her warning her of becoming to trusting or taking things for granted. She decided to answer him before he suspected that she might be plotting something with her sudden silence. [b]“As much as I hate doing as what others ask of me, I will do what you request under two conditions. Those are my terms.”[/b] She paused as she would wait for a response from the man before she continued with what she requested.

“Allow me to make something clear. You are honestly just a tool for me to use. There are other tools I could use, but you happen to be convenient. You do what I ask effectively, and I don’t care what else you do so long as it does not interfere with me. Though trust me, I can compensate you things far more valuable than gold. If you do what I request, and you don’t bother me, I couldn’t care if you escaped Cimmeria.”the figure said.

[b]“I was already told by my self-aware state that you were just using me as a bargaining chip. As long as I am a bargaining chip you will not let me escape, I know that much.”[/b] The girl said as she had already heard from her vessel what he was about to say. She predicted him right down to the letter. [b]“I don’t care if you use me as long as I get something in return. First I want to see Anayame and second I want a meeting arranged with my original. Agree to those terms and I’ll allow you to manipulate my mind as how you see fit for your sick twisted game.”[/b] She said as she started to contemplate on some way to escape with Anayame when they reunited the two. She also knew that should she refuse this person might use her love for Anayame against her as leverage which she would never forgive herself for. She continued with reluctance even though she hated the idea of being used like a doll, [b]“Even if I refused, you would use persuasion of leverage to sway my mind.”[/b]

[b]“But though out of curiosity, why me?”[/b] She asked out of curiosity. She didn’t quite know what they had planned for her, but she had been through worse if this was the best they had to test her wits with.

“So many questions all at once.” the being remarked. “Perhaps it best to explain why I need you. You see, one of dogs ran away and we recently had reacquired him. We just need to convince him that he belongs in Cimmeria. He has taken a fondness to what you call your original, and I believe someone who bares her face could very easily convince him the moon was made of cheese. Also, with Fenrir here, there would be a good chance your original would come to Cimmeria to look for him. They had only known each other for approximately a week, but they seem quite close, and those Windgracians seem to be lead around by their hearts but not their brains. And seeing your “sister” would be very easy to rearrange. I could see about both of you staying in a quiet nice room while you are taming my pet, and until we arrange your little meeting you want so badly. In case you're wondering, the reason I am so easy to indulge your little request is quite frankly, I would think it would be very interesting.” he said, despite having no facial features other than crystal eyes, he managed to still be quite smug about everything. 

[b]“I understand now, the reason you don’t pursue the original is because you know she’ll come right to you. Like a moth attracted to a flame?”[/b] The girl asked since she knew that was probably one reason that he had to his advantage. Why capture prey that is drawn to the scent? It would be a waste of time and much more fun to let them be caught in your web.


[b]“Fine, I will do what you ask.”[/b] She paused for a moment as she clenched her teeth with fire in her eyes. She didn’t like going against the wishes of her original since it may even reflect badly on her, but she couldn’t abandon Anayame’s well-being either. [b]“Until my bargaining use has expired you won’t let me leave anyway. For now, I would just like to go to my room. All this talk has gotten exhausting and I just want to lay down.”[/b] The girl said as she walked over toward his soldiers allowing them to take her away at his command. She wouldn’t put up any form of resistance or try to escape for now.

“You know what you must do. You are dismissed. Fenrir should arrive shortly, but I have some plans for him before it is time for you.” the being stated as the previous facade of him being a normal man in a normal room reappeared. 

[b]“...”[/b] As no words could come out of the girl’s mouth. She didn’t know what to say, but being forced to commence the manipulation process immediately didn’t sit well with her mind. She wanted some time to relax and think of her strategy, but she wasn’t allotted that luxury.

The room was cold, dark and damp. Fenrir had no idea how long he had been in the perfect cube room with no doors. The room had already been absolutely covered by claw marks but nothing he seemed to do actually seemed to get him closer to escape. Not only that, but for some reason, his ragnanok form just didn’t seem to work and he couldn’t seem to use magic. He had no idea how long he had been in this room. Sometimes a flap would seem to open from the wall itself and they would give him some food and drink, but it wasn’t anything to write home about but he had much worse before.

The girl left off a very deep sigh as she decided to go to right to work. She would just have to leave the strategy phase to the voice that spoke to her. She walked into Fenrir’s room then something in her mind triggered. She didn’t quite understand what it was, but she couldn’t let that psyche her out. If she wanted her freedom and a chance to give Anayame a better life than this she would just have to bear the shame she would have to go through. [b]“Hello Fenrir, remember who I am?”[/b] The girl said as she tried to restrain any memories that would trigger her to go against what she agreed to. She didn’t like being forced to deceive someone even if it was for pretend, but there was a lot on the table for her to gain if she did.

Her self-aware self opened a frequency inside Fenrir’s mind, [b]“This girl doesn’t know what she’s talking about so when she tries to deceive just play along with it, okay? We want to please both audiences so please endure. I cannot tell you who I am just yet, but I can tell you that I am not your enemy. Existence refers to me as Mother, but you may call me anything you like.”[/b] The voice said as it began to fall silent.

Fenrir head was sunk into the rest of his body, but as soon as he heard the voice, it jumped up and he nearly shouted, “Meira!.” but then paused and heard the voice inside his head, and began to mutter, “You lie. Meira would never try to deceive me. The true Mother Moon would never fill my heads with slander.” 

[b]“Do you honestly think I came here to rescue you? You were a pawn for me to gain power nothing more. Just like all pawns they are no longer needed and thus was the case with you. Now that I’ve seized my rightful opportunity, I have no longer any interest in you!”[/b] The girl said as she made a straight-face even though Meira’s emotions inside her were telling her not to. She had to resist Meira’s feelings even if it meant saying something she was going to regret later.

After the girl finished her piece the voice contacted Fenrir once again, [b]“From what I have collected from around this area is that they are trying to break you for some kind of experiment. They are using my vessel who is not Meira, but has a direct connection to Meira’s conscious to persuade you that Meira has betrayed you. I’ll leave it up to you decide whether my words are legitimate or not.”[/b] The voice again fell silent once again. She could only give Fenrir as much as he needed to know without altering his fate. He had to choose the road he was going travel himself.

Fenrir just buried his head between his legs again and just screamed, “You liar.”, he wasn’t sure he was addressing but he felt it was the only appropriate response to madness going around him.

The girl started to talk to her voice, because she had felt its presence. She knew it was trying to help her, but it was doing more harm than it was doing actual good. [i]“Just stop, okay? If I don’t do this then I won’t be able to save Anayame and that’s what I want to do right now!”[/i]

[i]“What you’re doing is selfish. You said you want to help your original, right? How are you assisting when you are being an imposter trying to destroy her relationship with Fenrir? You are all my children and I will not allow you to destroy your own worth. Not even for your own selfish reasons.”[/i] The voice said toward the girl as it fell silent once again.

[b]"What do you mean by liar?"[/b] The girl said as she again tried to resist the urge of Meira’s feelings. Her connection toward the girl was very strong and it was difficult to suppress her feelings for Fenrir. She was urging her not to do what she was doing even if it was for the greater good.

He didn’t even raise his head, he just shouted again though it was slightly muffled by his rags and legs, “I don’t know!. Just leave me alone.” he stated in a very defeated tone.

[b]“Fenrir, please listen to me. The Cimmeria Empire is using Taru for horrible things. I beg of you to save her. She is not Meira even though she is a perfect clone of her. She is known as Project Eve and my own vessel which I have been reincarnated into. I can only do so much. I need you to help me. In return I will help you escape. I know you are confused and I only want to help you, because you’re connected to my other vessels who are a part of me. Even though she’s not that old for one of my children she is very special. I will tell you more about my vessels at another time.”[/b] The voice concluded as it fell silent and probably was the final time it was going to contact Fenrir until he was given time to sort out everything in his mind.

[b]“I’m done for now. I wish to return to my room since I did what you ask…”[/b] Taru said after she turned around and looked at the ground in disappointment. She knew what the voice was telling her was true. Perhaps she was just being used, but she might be a fool to think he would ever let her go. As long as he could use her as a tool for his own amusement. [i]I made a complete fool out of myself and just because I wanted to save Anayame not thinking about Meira’s feelings at all. I feel so terrible since what I did was just horrible… I bet he’s laughing right now at this circus act and I look like the clown…[/i] She thought inside her mind as she just walked away slowly unhappy about what had just happened.

Fenrir just muttered to himself, “Nice try, but this isn’t the first time you tried to use voices in my head to trick me. That voice just be all apart of their plan. But who am I even kidding, I don’t even have a plan.” he said, as he just laid down and went to sleep as the door closed behind Meira and vanished into the wall.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[i]A month has passed since the terrorist attack on Windgrace. Over that course of time the country had been slowly recovering while staying outside the war that Rudoria and Guardia were waging on one another. The previous Queen of Windgrace's whereabouts were still unknown as she had just disappeared without a trace and the mysterious woman who duped everyone into believing she was the Queen of Windgrace had suddenly disappeared too. The castle, itself, was still in disrepair where the hired construction workers were slowly making progress on rebuilding the inner part which had been severely damaged in the explosion. Reala and the other mysterious girl had not been found. 

Over those last couple weeks, Meira had finally become the Queen even though she still liked to slack on her duties acting almost like a child when it came to attending her classes. Mithos who had been cleared of all charges against him had been put in charge of making sure Meira attended her classes while he helped with restoring the damaged relations between the Kingdom of Eden and the Kingdom of Windgrace. He also helped with the restoration process. No one knows what Stellvia is doing. Whizzle is up to his old trickery, annoying people and gleaning knowledge about magic. Alice continues to attend her school where she has befriended Princess Meira who is now a queen. As for Nathan, he was appointed as Meira's royal guard to act as her sword and shield in battle. The mysterious man named Andrew had pretty much been doing his own thing. Fenrir who Meira agreed to help had gone missing where his whereabouts were unknown. Siia and Miia both returned to their duties of making sure Windgrace stayed a strong nation. As for myself, I decided to let Nathan become Meira's royal guard while I studied more about the runes and their purpose while working in collaboration with the powerful spirit Stellvia. And as far as for the coronation, it had been postponed until the castle was completely restored.[/i]

[b]"Curse that Princess!"[/b] One of Meira's hand maiden's said as she had suddenly run off again ditching her responsibilities. [b]"This is unlike any nobility who shouldn't be slacking off and being selfish neglecting their responsibilities."[/b] She said as she checked Meira's bedroom only to find again Meira had left early to avoid the hand maidens from forcing her to go to her classes. [b]"MITHOS! The Princess has ran off again!"[/b] She said in a frustrated voice since she knew she might get yelled out by the Archduke later on should he find out that she again let the princess slip passed them.
