"So good to see you again, Ranathia." Said a voice out of nowhere only to reveal itself to be a man in their elderly years who came over to greet Ranathia. The man looked over toward the person who accompanied, "You didn't say you'd be accompanied by anyone, Ranathia. Who this strapping young lad?"

"Professor Langton, don't get such weird ideas. I'm not that kind of person and you know it." Ranathia said sincerely as she denounced any kind of talk that gave the impression that Mithos and her were seeing each other.

Professor Langton chuckled at Ranathia's comment knowing it was the same way she had acted when he used to tease her about helping one of the boys in a school she used to attend. He knew it was strange since Ranathia didn't really have a strong attraction to the opposite sex and actually loathed the male gender quite a bit. "C'mon Ranathia, you're not getting any younger. Don't you think a lonely beautiful maiden like you should have handsome man to sweep you off your feet by now?"

Ranathia shook her head as she wanted to get all this teasing nonsense by her. She knew Langton had not changed a bit who continued to tease her about her phobia to no end. "Mithos, this is Professor Langton. He is my source for information." Ranathia introduced to Mithos as Langton reached out to shake Mithos hand.

"Yeah, that..." She said as she wanted to forget about someone getting the better of her who was very skilled at using a sword. She was probably the most notable swordsman since Vandalin The Flash Strike. She earned herself the nickname Death Flash, because in a flash of her blade she had killed her enemies without flinching.

"I might as well tell you what happened. The castle was attacked by terrorists if you have not read about it yet or heard about it from gossip and I was blown away when a demon used a kamekaze attack on me in hope of killing me." Reala commented even though deep down she wanted to forget that incident ever happened.

"Seriously Mithos, if you mope around like that forever your face is going to freeze. I don't know what you're thinking in that mind of yours and I don't think I want to know, but you need to try to move on. I'm doing what I can to help you on the side, but I also have my research and investigation to attend to." Ranathia said as she parked the car on the side of the road at an abandoned warehouse. The warehouse was rundown and didn't really have anything inside it other than a bunch of broken crates and pallets. "All right, we're here." Ranathia said toward Mithos as she reached over toward her door handle to get out. She then closed the door behind her as she approached the exact location she was to meet up with her contact.

"I was curious if you heard anything suspicious lately, seen suspicious activity or anyone suspicious at all?" Reala questioned as she took another bite of her roll while passing one to Danny. Though she wasn't really in any position to be fighting she still was gathering information so she could learn more about what had happened during the terrorist attack on Windgrace.

"Well I was going to tell you that before you said I was imposing on you like other people." Ranathia hinted as she started the car driving off down the road to where she was going to meet with her contact. While driving toward the destination she passed many sights and also talked to Mithos about what she had learned so far.

"Here's what I've learned so far. It seems that the Kingdom of Eden is divided between two sides. The Angels of Light and the Angels of Darkness who do not get along at all. From what I learned is that the Angels of Darkness were behind the terrorist attack and were the ones who helped your uncle plan it. It seems the Angels of Darkness have been working with very shady people who I wouldn't trust no matter how far I threw them." Ranathia said as she continued to keep her eyes focused on the road.

"Thanks." Reala said as she took her bag and walked over taking a seat. She found it strange why she kept coming back to the place where she had first met this boy Danny. Though she convinced herself in the mind it's because the sweets are so delicious.

"Why don't you come over and have some and come talk to me, Danny-kun? Don't be so shy because I won't bite." Reala asked him as she took one of the rolls out and took a bite out of it as she enjoyed the moistness of the delicious breading in her mouth.

Ranathia took the book then headed for her vehicle which was parked on the other side of the street. When the traffic grew thin she decided to cross the street and walk toward the side her car was parked on. Before getting in she thought about what Mithos had said and remembered her contact had information about his aunt. "Mithos." Ranathia said as she turned around before she tried to unlock the door. "I'm going to meet with one of my contacts and they said they have information regarding your aunt. You're more than welcome to accompany me, but if you're too busy I'll just drop a report by later." Ranathia said as she unlocked the door and got in before closing it. Cars were very expensive in Windgrace and only the most wealthy of citizens could ever afford one.

Ranathia couldn't help but feel sympathy for Mithos despite in the past she felt a lot of resentment toward him, because she blamed him for Reala's disappearance. She was pretty sure Reala was still alive since something inside her told her that she was.

Meanwhile Reala who was still recovering from her wounds had returned to the bakery that the boy worked at. She found his rolls very tasty which she usually ordered. The ones with cream were her favorite. "I'm back again today, Danny. I'll have the same I usually have." She said since Danny probably by now had her order memorized in his mind.

The streets were crowded and Ranathia who was waiting to cross the street saw Mithos had tracked her down. She wasn't quite sure why so she turned around to face him. She saw that he held a book in her hands that she forgot about earlier. She knew it was due to her anger that she felt toward him earlier that she accidentally left the book behind without thinking about it. "Oh, yes thank you." Ranathia said kindly as her mood had suddenly shifted when she realized the book was hers. "But why did you go out of your way just to bring this back to me?"

Ancients of Elan ~ Rise of The Chosen

"Oh my!" One of the hand maidens who was cleaning the room said as they stumbled across a very strange looking book that was sitting on a table next to where Mithos was reading. "Mithos, who does this strange book belong to?" She questioned as she picked up the book and showed it to Mithos while she got back to cleaning the room.

"The nerve of that..." Ranathia whispered to herself as she made her way toward the outside of the manor which Meira was staying at while the castle was being repaired. A lot of very tall buildings that stretched high up in the sky obscured anyone's view of the capital. You could also see from a distance the battered damaged castle from a distance which main entrance was completely collapsed in and the throne area you could see a giant hole in the roof.

"Thanks a lot!" Meira said as she stormed out of the room in anger. It was obvious she didn't want to go to school, but if she were to become a better person she better start accepting her responsibilities.

"So you don't want to come?" She said in disappointment since she wanted to try at least to get to know Mithos better. She knew he wasn't like the other boys since he had a phobia for females. Ranathia had always been teased about the same phobia except hers were to males. "I'm not forcing you to come with me. If you think I'm forcing you to come with me then don't come with me. I thought I'd at least..." Ranathia said a bit irritated that Mithos was taking it like she was forcing him to go with her. "Forget it! I'll find someone. Sorry for wasting your time." She answered as she walked out of the room in a pretty foul mood.

"Yes." Ranathia answered as she set the text she was looking at down on a table beside her. It was very true that she had become very busy with investigating the connection between the True Runes and their plane known as the Material Plane. After what happened, she couldn't help but want to learn how dangerous the Chaos Runes were and how to better deal with them so they didn't run into another situation like last time.

When he mentioned that she came to check up on her niece part of that was, but the real reason she was there is she wanted to investigate a mysterious ruin she read about in the text she set down on the table. "It's true I came here to check up on my niece however..." She paused for a moment as she shifted to a more comfortable position in her chair so that her posture looked better. "That's not why I'm here. It's true I've been very busy since I became the head researcher for the archeologist division so a lot of my time is put forth studying ancient texts and old artifacts. Currently I am about to set out to look at some old mysterious ruins that people have been staying away from. I'd like to know what exactly is in these ruins which is repelling visitors. If you wouldn't mind and I'm sure you'd find it more a convenient way to use your time I'd like you to accompany me as my bodyguard."

"Oh ruins! Can I go too?" Meira questioned as she finally left her room after getting dressed. This was a chance for her to have a good reason for ditching her class and going on an adventure where they might discover some hidden secrets and perhaps fight some monsters.

"Oh no you don't!" Ranathia said as she stood up from her chair knowing exactly what Meira was scheming. "It's off to your studies for you. You are not using my expedition as an excuse to ditch class. Now off to school with you!"

Ranathia had passed by as she saw Mithos was making sure Meira was attending her classes. She couldn't help but remember what happened a month ago, but she wasn't entirely sure herself if Mithos was handling himself well even after they cleared his name. She wanted to speak to him again, but she wasn't sure if now was a good time. "Must be difficult for you having to clean up your own mess alone. You know..." She paused for a moment as she moved into a more comfortable position so that they could face eye to eye. "It was the same way for me. Causing havoc then you have to try to seclude yourself from the public, because everyone looks at you like you're a villain. It's one thing that can eat your alive from the inside out..." Ranathia said as she took another pause from as she walked over toward a chair beside Mithos and took a seat.

"Ranathia, is that you?" Meira called out of her room as she was getting frustrated with her hand maidens forcefully dressing her in clothes she didn't really want to wear. She hated school clothes and the fact that they were color coded annoyed her even more.

"Yes and isn't a time you thought about finding yourself a husband, young lady? There is no time like the present and boys love their girls that are fresh as the spring season weather." The hand maiden said as she had finally caught up with the two.

Meira looked at the hand maiden and shook her head. She didn't need a husband and certainly wasn't interested in looking for some boy in her school to choose. There weren't really any that appeal toward her interest. Besides, she could take care of her self without the help of some male companion. "I don't want a husband and I'm not going to look for any boy in my school, because none of them interest me in the slightest."

She then paused for a moment as she shifted her position looking at Mithos as she nodded in disappointment, "All right, I'll go to class. Man this really sucks..." Meira remarked as she followed her hand maiden into her room so they could go get her changed into her school outfit. Which consisted of the typical Japanese school girl look with a very short skirt which many called the Zettai Ryouiki look. The look consisted of a white school shirt along with a blue skirt and white schools shoes that were overneath her black thigh highs.
