Reala could only look at Nathan as she listened to what he said while all the students retrieved their books and study guides for their classes and informed what district they would be in. While that was going on Reala could only think for a moment until they called her turn. She walked over and retrieved her materials then walked over to where Nathan was standing. She couldn't sit down otherwise it would be seen as fraternizing with the boys.

The thought of a teacher yelling at her didn't bother her where She stared down at the ground then swept her hand across her face to prevent tears from falling down her face. She could not let Nathan see that she was getting emotional. It she did, it would be a weakness her enemy could use against her. Staying strong she shook off the tremendous pressure from the pain she felt from her loneliness and trying to use it further to act like she wasn't even hurt. She then tilted her head with a fiery look of a serious nature filled her entire face. She could feel the strength of that feeling all over her body as it pulsed through her veins giving her a new refreshed confidence after all that was said. "Look, I understand what you're saying, but you cannot convince me to think otherwise. This is my problem so just stay out of it. You have no idea how I feel so don't even think you know! How could you? Unlike you, I had to fend for myself when my foster parents died. How could you possibly understand what it is like to have to go through what I've been through?" Reala paused for a moment as she saw memories she shared with her foster parents. Ones that she couldn't forget, especially the ones that kept them close together as one nicely knitted family.

"Reala, don't be like this! Everyone needs friends to rely on!" Meira tried to remind her, but Reala shook her head in disbelief as she turned her attention away from Meira. Meira knew Nathan only wanted to help her sister and she wanted to assist too, but Reala's do it herself ego stood in the way of trying to grow a closer relationship toward her.

When Meira said she would help Reala and held at her hand, Reala slapped it away in disgust. When Reala slapped Meira's hand away she looked at her with a hurt look on her face. "I was only trying to help, Reala. You don't have to be so damn stubborn. We are sisters after all? Doesn't that mean anything?"

Reala immediately turn her back on Meira and gave her a hmph expression crossing her arms. "You're a Princess, Meira. Unlike you I don't need anyone to protect me. Since you are a natural born leader you need everyone to protect you. Now just stop bothering me already!"

With that said Reala walked over back toward where the girls were supposed to be as she awaited the announcement there train was going to arrive soon. She didn't mind being in the same class as Meira, but she didn't want anything to do with Nathan. She saw him as an obstacle who could become a problem if she didn't keep an eye on him. She turned around and her words rang a very serious vibe when they pierced the air in the room, "Stop trying to think you understand me, Nathan. At least I can control my power unlike you who needs someone to hold your hand! Now you need my aunt to hold your hand. You're so pathetic! You can't do anything on your own. You're so dependent. Why don't you just shut up already!" She paused for a moment as she pointed her finger at him where she continued, "Get in my way, Nathan and I will kill you! If you don't think I'm serious then just try me. I will do what I feel needs to be done. I don't need you telling me who and who I can't fight. You aren't my father and you certainly aren't my damn brother!"

"REALA!!!" Meira yelled at her certainly offended by what her sister had just said about her friend. "Don't you think that was brutally harsh?"

"It's not my problem if he can't handle the truth." Reala shrugged as she continued to walk away where she returned to the wall she was leaning against. When she left, Meira could tell that Reala did not mean those words and she was just angry and frustrated. There was no way her sister would say such a thing even if she didn't want help from others.

When Nathan returned to inside the building, Reala stood up with a very fiery angry expression on her face marching over quickly toward where Nathan was. She then rose her hand up and slapped him very hard across the face, because using magic inside the school probably wasn't a good idea. "HOW DARE YOU!" She screamed off the top of her lungs as Meira could only watch as her sister was obviously very upset.

"Why? Why did you interfere? Stop helping me! I can take care of myself. I'm not some poor defenseless girl and I never asked you to help me in the first place! Just leave me alone, okay? I can take care of myself." Reala said as you could see her eyes had started to water from the facial expression she was giving Nathan. It was obvious by how she reacted that she was a very lonely person who did not appreciate the company of others when it came to her problems. Ever since she was a child, she had fended for herself and never relied on anyone else. But that had changed when two people helped her when she never wanted their help in the first place. She tried to walk away but fell to one knee as she held where she was wounded cringing in pain since once again she had aggravated her wound.

"Reala, don't you think that was a little harsh?" Meira questioned as she had immediate concern for her sister who had been wounded awhile ago. She knew Reala was pushing herself if the wound hadn't healed already. Her sister was very stubborn and didn't listen to anyone when it came to herself.

Meira then noticed someone at the desk was yelling for her name and saw the woman was getting impatient where she chuckled with her eyes closed, "I'll be right back... Heheheh."

"I'll answer your question if you can defeat me. I don't mean here." The figure paused as he threw him a flyer announcing the school was holding a martial arts tournament. The flyer said on it The Gaelan World Dark Martial Arts and Combat Tournament saying that each school would be enlisting entrants for it. "If you can make it all the way to the finals to fight me and actually defeat me then I'll answer your questions. Until then, I will leave you to think about what I meant by my words. That is if a chump like you is bold enough to enter a tournament that may cost you your life." The figure finished as a sudden black smoke surrounded him which made it hard to see. He eventually disappeared as the smoke began to dissipate. There was no sign of the individual other than the footprints left on the ground that they left.

"Oh by the way, I was also the one who killed your parents Nozdormu and Ysera, Netharion Alduin. Hahahah, it was fun to watch your mother desperately beg for your life before I killed her. You should have seen the rage on your father's face before I killed him too. All of them wanting me to spare your pathetic life. AHAHAHAHAH!!! Their blood was most enjoyable quenching my thirst." Even though he had disappeared he let Nathan hear those words in attempt to break or at least shake him up.

The figure closed his eyes and grinned as he saw Nathan pushed Reala away which he could see irritated her. He examined Nathan closely as he measured his energy readings. "Interesting..." They said as their grin grew larger and with their mouth closed laughed diabolically. "So you're The Sentinel. I didn't think I'd run into you so quickly, but do you honestly think someone as puny as you could provide as a sword and shield for those two girls?"

Reala was pushed backward which only fueled her anger even more. Meira sighed as she nodded at Mithos grabbing her sister's hand and pulling her away from the scene. The two fled up the stairs where Reala's eyes burned with fire, "I NEVER ASKED YOU TO HELP ME!" Were the only words that came out as Meira used her other hand to cover her mouth with to prevent her from saying anything else selfish. "JUST DON'T PUSH YOURSELF TOO HARD, NATHAN!" Meira answered back as she towed her sister along with toward the entrance of the building. Reala was still angry as she expressed it with her facial expression as she was finally pulled into the building out of harm's way.

"So, you want to fight me? What do you think you would accomplish even if you fought me? I already killed both girls mothers and you would just be adding to their pain should you fall. Why don't you just retreat for now, because I didn't come to fight anyone." The figure grinned since he had no interest in fighting anyone today. There was no one really around who piqued his interest and the only person that was worth fighting was down for the count. He wasn't about to fight her like a coward who would kick a man when they're down.

A familiar voice called out to Reala as it laughed about her sudden weakness. When it pierced Reala's mind her pupil's grew very large and fear pulsed through her entire body. As she trembled in fear, she couldn't believe it with her own eyes even if she wanted to refuse to acknowledge it. "You're weak, Reala. Looks like that injury has taken a lot out of you. Making Meira an easier target for me."

"DAMN YOU!" Reala barked as she materialized her sword into her hands as she tried to charge the enemy, but her attack was sloppy where they easily avoided it. Reala fell to one knee embracing her wound which throbbed, because she had just gone and aggravated her own injury. "You two, just get to class. I'll deal with this even if it is the end of me!"

The figure that confronted them was completely robed in black. His face was even covered with his outfit and only you could see his two eyes which pierced through the darkness of the hood he wore over his head. Meira saw that Reala was in absolutely no condition to battle. Knowing that she looked over toward Reala and yelled at her with a very concerning look filling her entire face, "Reala, you're hurt! There's no way you can fight this person on your own! He'd kill you before you even got a hit on him!"

Despite how aggressive Reala was, the figure showed no sign of attacking either girls. This bothered Reala to no end and confused Meira not understanding why the person was there in the first place. A shady figure appearing out of nowhere and Reala spotting his shadow. Not only that, confronted my sister and calling her out on her weakness? Seems pretty suspicious to me. Meira thought to herself as she noticed Nathan had reached out to grab her. She slapped his hand away then pointed at her sister who was knelt down on one knee and a very dangerous figure that stood right behind her. "I understand your concern about my aunt, Nathan but this is not the time for that. If we don't stop Reala, she'll do something really stupid!"

"YOU SHOULD BE DEAD!" Reala yelled as her anger fueled the rage she felt inside. Despite having so much strength, her physical body just didn't have the strength to endure. "I'LL KILL YOU!!!" Reala yelled as she tried to rise to her feet, but the pain was just unbearable that her body just couldn't take it where it reacted on its own. "Stupid body, I command you to do as I say. I don't give a damn about my well-being!"

"HAHAHAHAH!" The figure laughed as he began to grin at Reala. Even though Reala was being so hostile, the figure showed no sign of attacking her or any aggression. "It's your physical bounds that hold you back, Reala. That is why you're so pathetic! You'll never realize your true potential like that! A burden you have to protect closely or it will make you regret it."

"I suppose I could do this just once for you, Alice." Stellvia said as she lowered herself to the ground and since the teacher couldn't see her at all drew her foot into the Material Plane for a short while tripping the teacher who was mean. The teacher looked around and yell at the students asking who did that, but nobody answered. It did bring up a lot of giggles though. "You certainly asked for that you foolish disgusting obese mortal."

Stellvia then disappeared in a flash of light then in a blink of an eye reappeared as she materialized from threads of light converging in the palm of her hand a golden like rune that was in a half moon shape. "I will give you this. It's my Eclipse Mark, but you can decide when you are ready to use it. I would like you to show me how merciful you mortals can be." After she handed Alice the marking a strange black mark appeared on Stellvia that wasn't there before. It was her Eclipse Mark which she allowed to finally appear and accept someone as a representative toward using her power. Stellvia had a scared past that she did not want to show anyone. Much like someone who damaged their body that wanted to hide their appearance, because they were ashamed of how they looked.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Meira while they were both thinking about what to do walked over and gave Reala a big hug and laughed with some tears rolling down her eyes. "I'm so happy you're alive, Reala. I was so worried about you." The refreshed look she gave Reala gave her the impression that Meira probably did feel some concern inside and judging by how strong her reaction to her being safe was it was probably startling and hard to cope with.

"Oh c'mon Meira. You're suffocating me. Strange that this was a delayed reaction from you though I sense you had other things on your mind at the time you wanted to tell me." Reala answered back as she tried to squirm her way out of Meira's grasp, because it felt like the air was being sucked right out of her body by how she was being embraced by Meira's body. Where both Meira's hands gripped tightly around her body. "Oh sorry." Meira reacted as she immediately released Reala to give her some air and took a few steps back to give her some breathing room.

While Meira and Reala talked with each other, Reala kept a close eye on her surroundings and surveyed the area for the strong energy signatures she was able to sense earlier. When she sensed she noticed there were three of them and one of them was trying to communicate with the two through some advanced method of telepathy. What bothered her the most is she didn't know whether these people were friend or foe. Meaning she would have to keep her guard up for her and her sister's sake. Even though she was still injured and her wounds were healing she wasn't about to let any harm come toward her sister. Right when she thought about what would happen if she pushed herself too hard she saw someone's shadow flash across her like they were being watched. She moved herself in front of Meira as she turned around with Meira doing the same in shock.

Reala observed her surroundings closely then called out toward the person's shadow she saw a moment ago. "Okay, who is there? I know you're out there so you might as well show yourself. If you do not, I might have to resort to using force." Reala threatened only to have Meira restrain her. "No Reala, I can see you're still hurt and your wounds haven't healed. If you push yourself too hard you'll undo the stiches that keep that nasty wound you suffered shut! I won't allow you to risk your own safety on my behalf!"

"That's because he's not human." A voice said out of nowhere only to reveal itself as Stellvia. Stellvia had changed her appearance to look like the school girl where she wore a white shirt, white socks, a black skirt and white tennis shoes. From the skirt to the shirt the girl's wore she knew that mortals had such strange fashion sense. She then peered over the boy while pondering the thought that Nathan was trying to hide he truly was. How long are you going to continue to lie to yourself, boy? If any harm comes to Rana while she is sealing your power you might not want to know what I'll do. She then focused all her attention on Alice once again. "Though I must say this is the first time I thought so highly of a mortal. It's your innocent nature that allures me into curiosity. I think if I stay close to you I might find out the true nature of your kind. Never thought I'd allow a mortal into my void of a heart, but you have certainly surprised me, Alice."

Back at the desk, the attendant had waited long enough where she stuck her head outside the booth and yelled so everyone could hear as her voice filled the entire room, "DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THAT BLASTED MEIRA IS? I'M GETTING TIRED OF WAITING FOR THAT FOOLISH CHILD!!!" Where the students each looked at each other and around then shrugged their shoulders. A few others just shook their heads or just ignored the attendant completely.

One of the teachers watched by and thought that Nathan was fraternizing with one of the school girls. He walked immediately over toward Nathan and whacked him on the back with a yard stick. This man was a very heavy set man with a rather unattractive looking face and geeky glasses. "Flirting with the females is prohibited! That's one demerit for you, Nathan Alduin! I knew you'd be a worthless delinquent piece of trash that was dumped on our doorstep." He then pointed his yardstick toward a sign that showed an o with a line through it with a male sitting with a female. "Are you blind that you cannot see the regulations in this building, boy! Judging by how smart you look you're probably too stupid even to know how to read. I think I should add you to my shit list."

He then immediately turned his position to face Alice where he gave her a very scary looking facial expression, "Shouldn't you missy be with the girls? Now get to it! I don't have all day! A demerit for you also." He said as other students knew how much of a jerk that teacher really was.

Meira once again examined her surroundings, but she didn't see anyone in sight. She could still hear a voice saying the same phrase. Though it didn't sound like the evil voice who tried to take her over. Her confusion grew stronger every time it mentioned the very same phrase. Somehow she sensed another presence in her mind, but that's impossible. She thought because she had never in her life felt this way before. It didn't really scare her at all or make her remember the nightmares that haunt her. Meira wasn't sure if she should seek out the presence or not. If she missed the enroll exam they might appoint someone as her personal guardian to see that she goes to school. That bothered her though her curiosity grew due to the fact she wanted to know how this person was able to affect her thoughts.

Reala who was also confused noticed that Meira was still in her mesmerized state like she didn't know what was going on. Like Meira, she was also uninformed about what she was feeling though she did realize that she was connected with Meira's mind even though she didn't have an explanation. Now she felt two more presences in her mind that she did not know. Normally, her power would repel anything that was malicious; however, neither presences shown intent toward harming her or trying to force her into submission. "Who would influence our minds in such a way? It's like whomever these people are that we are sensing understand what we are feeling. Also, this voice I keep hearing is just unexplainable. I've never heard her before so who exactly is she?" Reala could only question since thinking about it only made her even more confused. Right now it was like a thick veil of mist had overlapped her thoughts and she just couldn't pierce the barrier it was projecting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile inside the building, one of the people's at the desk starting calling for names. They went by student by student according to how they were separated classification wise. Still sorting through the S Class students the attendant called for the name Meira Rystaliuskal, but whenever they called for Meira there was absolutely no answer. There were a lot of students in the building, some seated while others standing talking to each other. There were also a few others who sat alone isolated from everyone else. The building was very crowded, but finding a girl with pink hair should be easy. They didn't have many in attendance who had pink hair.

"MEIRA RYSTALIUSKAL! CALLING MEIRA RYSTALIUSKAL! PLEASE REPORT TO THE FRONT DESK IMMEDIATELY!" The attendant said over the loud speaker, but still there was no answer. The attendant grumbled to themselves as they were growing very impatient of waiting for her. "Where could have that child ran off to?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This place is sure a lot cleaner than the Cimmeria Empire." Taru said as she explored the sights the capital of Windgrace had to offer. There were lots of tall buildings and floating contraptions in the sky. She saw that these floating contraptions emitted some kind of energy which formed some kind of barrier. "I wonder, do they use Magitek?" Taru pondered as a thought as she placed her index finger at her lip. The girl was rather curious and continued to look at those objects as various people passed her by.

Sentius continued to look to have his eyes closed looking like he was concentrating. Anayame was watching him, but knew it was never a good idea to interrupt him when he was meditating. He didn't show he was irritated, but she could see it on his face that it made him angry when you did. She decided to let him do what he was doing while exploring the various sights with Anayame. It was better than having to deal with a very ice cold stare that gave you the chills when you angered Sentius. Though she couldn't help but wonder why that man with wings earlier lied to them? Strange, why would that man lie for her sake? I didn't really sense any kind of bond between the two? "Heh, some people are just weird I guess..." She said softly as she sighed. While she was able to sigh she breathed in the clean fresh air that Windgrace had to offer. It was a lot more refreshing than the suffocating environment that Cimmeria offered. She didn't understand how people could live in such a place. It was like it sucked the life right out of your body.

"All these people are interfering with me getting a direct fix on Meira's location." Sentius mumbled to himself softly as he showed an air of irritation in his voice just by how it sounded. The vibe kind of gave both Taru and Anayame an uneasy feeling. They were hoping that he wouldn't do anything rash that would draw a lot of attention. There was no need to kill people needlessly just because they provided somewhat of a hindrance. Momentarily he opened one eye and with a reassuring look reminded the two, "You don't need to worry. I have no interest in wasting my energy destroying such fragile beings."

Ancients of Elan ~ Rise of The Chosen

"I have no interest in words that do not prove useful for my motives. Unlike most of you mortals, I have no driven logic toward anger so easily. Mule's bray and fool's talk, but the wiseman listens not. You did give me something that I could use so I'll compliment you for that." Sentius answered back in a very cold tone as he opened the door and walked out it. He had sufficient knowledge and now it was time to look for the Academy of Magical Arts and Research Division so that he may finally come into contact with Meira. Sentius made his appearance go transparent though you could still clearly see him like he was still in their plane.

Taru looked at Mithos where she shook her head in disbelief about him not knowing where the school was breaking free from Anayame's grip. "You're lying and I can sense it from your energy. Your negative energy just became stronger..." But she was interrupted by Anayame who again grabbed Taru and pulled her away before she made more of a fool of herself. "Taru, he doesn't need to know that. You sometimes need to keep your special powers you have to yourself. Speak at a more convenient time." Anayame added where Taru simply though Anayame was acting like a parent or guardian.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Reala, did you sense that?" Meira asked as she stopped from entering the building when she suddenly felt an emergence in the area. She could tell that there were three very strong energy readings, but she couldn't quite get a fix on their locations. Meira had no idea if these people were friend or foe which made her concern grow even stronger.

Reala turned around to grab Meira, but suddenly stopped when she could also feel the same thing Meira could. She could not only sense very strong energy readings in the area, but also she thought she heard some thoughts that were not her own. Reala couldn't really explain whose thoughts they were or where they came from.

Reala simply peered down the white concrete steps that weren't in perfect condition as they stretched their way downward toward the bottom. It was a very steep drop and quite a slide should you lose your step she noticed. While examining that specific area she could not see anyone or feel anyone in that area.

While she observed the surrounding area, she heard it once again the voice that contacted her awhile back saying things she simply didn't understand. Again it was mentioning some "Seed of Eve" which did not compute for Reala. She had no idea what that was or what they were even talking about. Reala could only simple think to herself mimicking the same words in a very low tone mumble Seed of Eve...

Meira looked at Reala seeing that something was bothering her. Knowing Reala's nature she knew full and well that she wouldn't tell her simply what it was since she didn't want others to get involved. Meira couldn't help feeling concern for her own sister ans she could feel her heart starting to thump louder and louder like if her sister was calling her for help. Then she also heard the very same voice say the samething which drew her face away from Reala and simply drove into complete confusion.

Ancients of Elan ~ Rise of The Chosen

"..." Was the only way Sentius could answer Mithos. He didn't want to leave, but he was given no choice. Well, not exactly did he want to stay, but just long enough so he could be introduced to Meira. He turned his head toward Mithos directing his full attention toward the blonde haired Angelian. "I'll leave as you requested, but do you know where I might find Princess Meira? I am an old acquaintance of her grandfather Azmaldus and it is imperative that I speak to her right away."

Taru sighed in disappointment since she wanted to sit down and rest. Now she would have to get up and go find some place to stay. It wouldn't be difficult to find a place to stay since they had Master Sentius, but she still did not trust Sentius. She didn't understand how he could continue to use her and care for her at the sametime. She felt like she was being used as some kind of tool. The same treatment she faced when she was in Reek's captivity. "All right, I'll go."

"Just so you know, I am Taru. I am a clone of Meira directly created from Meira's genes coming into contact..." Only to have Anayame cover her mouth when Sentius looked like he was about to get upset. She did it in time before Mithos heard what she was about to say which may result in certain death for the blonde haired man. She knew that it was very unpredictable of what Sentius would do and no one could actually tell what he was thinking.

"Taru, keep your mouth quiet or Master Sentius might bound and gag you for your own good. It isn't important for this person to have such knowledge. He's just a regular Angelian who is naive about this world." Anayame concluded as she pulled Taru along with her as she kept a firm grip over her mouth to prevent her from shooting off her mouth again and revealing a bunch of nonsense.

Sentius before he left the manor looked at Mithos with a very serious look that he would kill if you crossed him, "If I were you, I would forget everything that was said. It's not knowledge you need to know. That is if you value your life." As he waited at the door for Mithos to answer his question about
