She returned the smile towards Asri. [color=FFB6C1][i]”I wonder what this necklace does other than what it did do to me...”[/i][/color] Stephanie thought to herself. She had a weird look on her face, which didn’t really help how she felt about her evil as fuck mother. However, she did like everyone supporting her in terms of the Sanctuary. It helped her relax, however, something caught her off guard when Tania said her name. She gasped a bit in shock, which made her shake that shock and just be happy she met the person who made her parents fume. [color=FFB6C1]”You have a lovely name, Tania.”[/color] Stephanie said with a smile on her face. She looked a bit confused at Mirithal, mostly because of the first question. [color=FFB6C1]”Mirithal because I don’t have a closed mind alike my parents who hate every single person in the world. They don’t even allow other races into their mercenary band. Sarah is one of those people who taught me that, however.”[/color] Stephanie said, happily with a smile on her face. She couldn’t help but miss Sarah but she knows one specific thing her parents no question will kill her if she tries to return to Gondrevil. That thought right there scares her more than anything, all her nightmares will finally come true and doesn’t want that. However, she blinked a bit confusingly with what Mirithal had said. She never really truly learned what other races see, which is because Sarah didn’t know what the Vedish saw. The entirety of what was said by the two in particular made her a bit less confused. [color=FFB6C1]”Oh, you see in colors don’t you Mirithal? I’m emotional since I primarily use water as my element. It doesn’t help that I had a coldhearted father and a lava-infused hatred of a mother.”[/color] Stephanie said with frustration in her voice at mentioning her parent’s magical affinities. It’s mostly because they were heartless towards her and didn’t allow her to do anything. Stephanie smiled when R asked them to follow them throughout the Sanctuary’s Grounds. She was amazed at the first stop in the Sanctuary, which was the Mess hall. The size of the mess hall, which was definitely pretty big and heard specifically about the tree set meals throughout the day. She kindly smiled towards the three residents, which was in the Mess Hall. [color=FFB6C1][i]”The Sanctuary is amazing, which is saying something.”[/i][/color] Stephanie thought to herself, with a smile to what is going on. She held onto her necklace tightly only because of the fact she kinda wanted to know the other secrets it holds. All the necklace did was glow its strange unknown glow while in her hands but it had a slight tinge of multiple different colors it was glowing. After, all was said and done, which was she couldn’t help but smile throughout the tour and at the end of the tour, which was probably their bedrooms. She couldn’t wait to see what her bedroom looks like in the Sanctuary, however a sudden pain in her head happened. It was mostly because of R’s magical ritual to the doors and it was definitely made her forget about the necklace and/or her parents for a moment. She definitely did feel discomfort from the constant headaches from the rituals in question. However, she heard the instructions from R and had a gentle smile on her face. [color=FFB6C1]”I will enjoy the Sanctuary, R.”[/color] Stephanie said, with an excited tone in her voice. She did what R specifically instructed them to do, which was she walked to her door with her name on it. She placed her palm on the metal plate. She felt an odd feeling, which was intriguing to her but the discomfort she felt was replaced with curiosity of what was behind the doors. She opens the door, which she was utterly gasped in shock and amazement at what she saw. [color=FFB6C1]”Oh my… It’s my dream home in the field of violas next to Gondrevil. But it is behind a door.”[/color] Stephanie said with awe in her voice and a bit of shock. Stephanie, the only emotion came from her was complete and utter happiness and she started to cry tears of happiness of what she saw. The whole thing was more or less how she imagined it, in her head or in reality in the journal she usually keeps with her. The color of the tears in question were yellow and white if Mirithal was looking at her. [color=FFB6C1][i]”I am utterly shocked… That means in the bedroom in the cottage, which allows me to house this abomination of a gift.”[/i][/color] Stephanie thought to herself. Her thoughts were completely focused, on putting the Necklace down somewhere safe at least. She walks into her bedroom, so she could place the necklace in specific on its necklace stand. The entire thing was amazing and she giggles at the room since it looks beautiful. She quickly walked to the cottage proper and opened the purple door, which she went to her specific bedroom and sat the necklace on its specific holder. The calmness in the room was euphoric, however, she wanted to chat to the other residents. She walked back to the outside of her room and shut the door back to her room. However, as she exited her room and noticed Asri not there. [color=FFB6C1][i]”I wonder who was in the occupied arena room. But I was too much focused on listening to R about every single little thing about the tour I didn’t really ask. But I guess that’s where Asri went to.”[/i][/color] Stephanie thought to herself. She had a gentle smile on her face but her stomach started to grumble and she sighed with a bit of regret. The one thing she forgot to do before she left Gondrevil was eat something but she was kinda in a hurry to leave her hometown. She will meet the training arena people later, which will give her time. However, she looked down and noticed the Firebrand and Icebrand swords still on her and sighed. [color=FFB6C1][i]”Ugh… these weapons. The weapons of my parents...”[/i][/color] Stephanie thought to herself with a sour thought in her head. The learning of what her mother did specifically to her with the Unity Necklace was pretty terrible nonetheless. Therefore, she walks to the Mess hall to get something to eat because she’s hungry and dislikes when her stomach growls. However, this is the first time she’s able to eat without worrying about her parents forcing her not to eat anything while training. Stephanie felt happier living in a place that is truly safe from her parents and loved every single bit of it. She walks back into the mess hall since she couldn’t help herself, which she saw the three people that R introduced to and waved at them again after the tour was done. The one thing she did was get something to eat and sit at one of the tables, since she was needing something to make her less hungry. Her emotions were a bit more under control because of this specific thing. She ate her food to more or less enjoying every portion of it since she never really got to enjoy anything because of how harsh her parents were. However, she was pretty much courtesy mostly because Sarah was the one, which taught her to eat properly. [color=FFB6C1][i]”This is so wonderful. I do like the courtesy training I got from Sarah. Or I would probably be as bad as my parents in their table manners. But they didn’t really have any manners to begin with anyways.”[/i][/color] Stephanie thought to herself. She couldn’t help but have a smile on her face because she wants to look on the brighter side of things than the terrible past. However, the past did have some important lessons from Sarah that was important.
