Reala stood up then nodded despite not smiling was pleased to meet her. Alice probably noticed the gloomy look on her face and the sadness she showed in her eyes which were full of only emptiness. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Alice. My name is Reala. It's always nice to have more girl friends. Can't have too many, y'know?" Reala stressed the last word in that statement indicating that she may like girls more than she does boys. Though her she never gives an indication of that in her speech so one is only left to question what kind of person Reala is looking for if any person. Reala held out her hand in an attempt to shake Alice's hand.

Meira laughed in happiness glad to see her sister was actually trying to make friends. It's funny though, because earlier she said she didn't need any friends yet she was being strangely very friendly to Alice. It was a side of her sister that she had never seen before, but maybe Reala didn't like boys like her Aunt Ranathia. She was quite repulsive toward Nathan and she had heard she wasn't very friendly to Mithos either. "Hey what's up, Alice? By the way, tell your friend she can come sit with us too, okay?" Meira looked up for a moment as she saw Alice's friend push Alice toward the two.

Meira and Reala talked to each other while Nathan sat over by himself until the train finally arrived at its destination. The conductor yelled at the kids it was time for them to get off and head for the school building. It was still a bit early in the morning so the students could hang out with each other until the first bell rang which warned them that they had five minutes before class started. Meira and Reala both walked off together passing by Nathan as they exited the train. They saw that their school was a very large four story building that stretched pretty far in both directions. There were four glass doors with lots of windows at the entrance and railings along the sidewalk as they walked up the steps toward the top part of the walkway.

"Oh hello, Alice." Meira said as she saw Alice had walked by her and Reala both. Reala was busy looking at her phone and Meira was thinking about Ranathia and how much fun she had to be having exploring ruins while she was stuck at school which really sucked for her. "Why don't you come sit with us. My sister won't bite so don't worry." She reminded Alice as she waited for her to come take a seat by the two on the steps leading up toward the entrance.

"Judging by how you are looking at me you think I'm going to pull a dirty trick when we meet in battle and you are dead wrong. I do not use dirty tricks to subdue my foes unless they are malicious. You do not fit that category. You know absolutely nothing about me and yet your body language is already telling me that you think I'm going to cheat. Think what you want if you want to think like a paranoid fool. Doesn't bother me one way or another." Reala said as she turned her attention away from Nathan with no intention of adding anything else to what she had originally said. After she had said that to Nathan a train pulled up where Reala grabbed her bag then began walking then said with her back turned toward Meira, "Do you plan on traveling with that bumbling idiot? I wanted to sit next to you on the train, but I'll sit behind you if that nuisance is going to sit across from you."

Meira looked at Reala and nodded as she followed her onto the train when it stopped and opened its doors. Both walked onto the train then took their seats in the middle of the car placing their bags up above in a storage place above their heads. The train became crowded quickly, but Reala turned her head to notice a short haired girl and another one with the same hairstyle as Meira along with some man who gave her a vibe that she should be cautious.

"I overheard you two talking about the martial arts tournament that is being held on one of the colonies that revolves around Gaea very soon. I suppose I'll have to allow myself some rest and refreshment until the tournament comes otherwise I won't be in shape. Losing my life in that tournament is not something I want to happen." She paused for a moment as she turned her eyes over toward Nathan gazing at him with a look of determination, "And you, I will not be dissuaded by you not to enter so do not even try." She paused once again as she tilted her head back toward Meira where she continued even further. "I'll take it easy and relax for awhile. Hopefully that will take your mind off worrying about me, Meira. Also, sorry about what I said earlier. I guess I let killing that man go to my head."

Meira reached over and gave her sister a big hug excited that Reala was finally going to allow herself some time to recuperate before she went back to what she normally did. Though entering the tournament bothered Meira since she knew it had no rules other than ring outs where the opponent could use any force necessary to defeat their foe even if it meant killing them. "Thank you, Reala! So happy that you'll at least take care of yourself for awhile and not push yourself like you always do."

Reala looked over toward Nathan and remembered what one of her contacts told her about him. He mentioned to her that he overheard someone talking about Nathan being The Sentinel which Reala found hard to believe. She thought Nathan was too naive to ever be the one they call The Sentinel. How could he possibly protect the two if he wasn't so sure about himself? It made no sense and his fear about his race didn't help her think any more of him either. "I refuse to believe that you are the one meant to protect us. How can someone so naive about this world possibly have the power to protect my sister let alone someone as strong as me? This princess thinks that person who is passing around the rumor you're The Sentinel is senile. I could care less what your opinion about it is. Not that I'm trying to pick a fight with you, it's just that..." She paused for a moment noticing that her emotions were getting the best of her where she gritted her teeth as anger flashed again on her eyes, "Forget it! I'm going to just stop talking about it before I say something I don't want to say which gives you the wrong idea. I still do not like you."

"Clueless as ever is he?" A familiar voice said as Meira turned around and noticed it was Reala. Meira jumped up in excitement to see her sister had gotten over what was bothering her earlier. Even though she had gotten over it, she still looked so empty and her eyes continued to show the same sadness they always showed. Meira wanted to find some way to make her sister smile, but all her attempts she had tried in the past ended in failure.

"Did you come back to apologize for how you acted earlier, Reala?" Meira asked where Reala closed her eyes nodding at her. Reala had come back to apologize for her actions toward her sister, but she despised Nathan which made flames ignite underneath her skin though she did her best to control her by remaining composed.

She grabbed Meira where she gave off a small smirk with a nod where she answered Meira's question, "You, yes." She paused as she gave a cold icy gaze at Nathan where she continued, "Him, no." But that was all she said. Meira anticipated she might try to insult Nathan after saying she wasn't going to apologize, but she was wrong. Reala just phrased those two words boldly before she went silent.

"I agree, Nathan doesn't know much about school or how the school systems work around her, but he's not that bad of a person. He's very kind even though he's pretty naive about how this world works." Meira said only to have Reala interrupted her sighing deeply, "Yeah Meira, but you have no room to talk either. You are pretty lost on how the world works too." Despite her hostility toward Nathan and saying a lot of nasty comments about him she still had the dignity inside her to actually defend him. Meira found it strange though she knew it is just like Reala to point out the oversight in people's insults.

"Class?" Meira questioned as she realized the train hadn't arrived yet. Also she saw that Reala was nowhere to be seen. She wasn't sure what Nathan was talking about being late to class? How could they be late if they haven't even arrived at the school yet. "Nathan, our train isn't even here. I don't know what you are talking about, but this is not a school building. They just use to keep track of how many people enlist into going to school in Windgrace." Meira sighed as she laughed softly at Nathan's blunder. She thought it was funny that Nathan automatically assumed they were at school. It was apparent to her that he had never been to a school in his entire life and the fact he was educated was a little hard to believe.

"Over this way." Meira said as she grabbed Nathan's hand and dragged him off to the train station which was downstairs underneath the main builiding. The station was crowded with not only students, but other people from Windgrace who were using them to travel to their destination. A row of benches were in front of them with columns off to the side and a few of the walls had vending machines and a very large bin which was for trash stood reside them. Meira let go of Nathan's hand as she walked over and took a seat awaiting for the train to arrive. "Now we just wait for the train to our school to arrive."

Meira sighed as she noticed Nathan had picked up on the fact that she had deceived him about knowing about her sister. It wasn't like she did intentionally. She had her reasons for lying like that and one of them was she doesn't like talking about her sister. It always ended up in a two sided argument where she would defend her sister no matter what. "Sorry, I lied about Reala. Just don't like talking about my sister is all. Anyway, I just wish Reala would find some way to be happy. Ever since we were children, she has never smiled or laughed once. She carries around that doom and gloom look everyday. It's like she's empty and very lonely, but it's too dark for her to navigate herself out of her own loneliness. I just wish there were something I could do for. For once, I would like to see her happy. I would like to see her smile or just laugh at a funny joke. I'm tired of seeing those sad eyes she drags around for baggage. But she refuses to listen to anyone when it comes to herself. She go as far as talking really nasty so people will dislike or hate her so she doesn't have to worry about them getting in her way again. Why does she have to continue to punish herself like that?"

"Don't underestimate that man, Nathan. I sensed a very dangerous power from him. Exercise extreme caution when fighting him." Meira warned as she could judge by his character he did not play by the rules nor did he play nice for that matter. Knowing how strong that person was really bothered Meira. Even if he didn't try to slay Reala, still it disturbed her that he made it clear she was his target. She didn't know why he would target her and anytime she tried to recall the confrontation her mind just drew a blank.

"I've known Reala since we were children, Nathan. She would always visit me so we could play despite refusing to live with anyone. Ranathia wanted to take her in as her own, but Reala refused saying she didn't want to burden anyone with her problems." Meira paused for a moment as she sighed trying to forget about everything that had happened. Though she wasn't about to forget about her sister who needed someone to be there for her. A person who would save her from the darkness within her loneliness. "You can have any opinion you want about her, but she's my sister and we've known each other since we were children. You will not change my view over my own sister so do not even try. I know her better than anyone and your view of her is completely off. She grew stronger on her own without anyone's help and she finds she would get weaker if she accepted anyone's help. That's why she feels she has to do everything herself. Because she felt she was too weak to defeat her mother's killer. So she now has to get stronger so that she can confront them again. Try as you must, Nathan but you will never understand Reala or my Aunt Ranathia." She paused for a moment as her eyes shifted into a more definite expressive position, "I won't allow you to badmouth them. Remember that, Nathan."

"What's that?" Meira questioned when Nathan showed her a flyer of some tournament that was going to enlist people from the schools to enter. She wasn't entirely sure why it was being held, but if it included the word "dark" it meant there were no rules other than the occassional ring out. Meaning people would fight until the death if necessary and the opponent could kill their target without consequence.

Unfortunately for Nathan Reala didn't really care whether he believed her or not. She wasn't about to trust someone who got in her way since she was determined to fulfill her promise she made toward her mother. "Believe what you want." Reala paused as she walked by Nathan then turned around to continue, "I don't really care whether you trust me or not, because I will never trust you after you disgraced me in front of Meira. You can take your trust and put it where the sun doesn't shine. That's what I think of it. Why should I trust you? Just because you saved me? Hah, you just want me to look weak just like any other male who looks at women only for their looks. I am stronger than you and I am capable of more than you. I don't need you. I can do everything myself without your help." Reala concluded as she pushed Nathan into a wall away from her and decided to go someplace where he wouldn't disturb her. She was tired of listening to his excuses. She was tired of listening to how he didn't trust her or her aunt. Like she cared what he thought. What he thought wouldn't change the fact that man killed her mother in cold blood. It didn't change the fact her mother probably looked down on her for not seizing the opportunity. "Just stay out of my way from now on. Don't even help me for my sister's sake. You are worthless piece of trash I want nothing to do with. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to something I need to do. Do not follow me."

When she heard him talk about how he was going to fight the man in the martial arts tournament, she turned around and gave him a icy gaze before she just walked away. She decided she would just do what she about to do. Not allowing anyone to stop her nor was she about to listen to anyone for that reason.

"Why can't she understand that she's not alone? Why can't she understand that her well-being affects others? She's so damn stubborn when it comes to herself. When it comes to her motives, it's near next to impossible to sway her mind." Meira complained as she could only watch Reala walk away. She didn't understand why Reala refused to trust those who tried to help her. She wanted to remind Reala she wasn't alone and that she didn't need to face everything on her own. "Nathan, Reala didn't mean anything she said. I know it sounds like she did, but she's just angry and very frustrated. Frustrated that she didn't have the strength to overcome her own weaknesses. She sees being injured as a weakness and she is beating herself up over being too weak to overcome the pain she is served by her own recklessness. Please do not think badly of her, she's a good person by heart. It's just that she's very stubborn when it comes to her own health."

"Why do you continue to get in my face? You don't give a damn about me so just leave me alone, okay? You have my sister to take care of. Protect her and stop trying to get close to me. I don't need friends. All they do is weigh you down." Reala said as she turned around with fire burning in her eyes. The passion burning on Reala's face was strong which almost drove her toward attacking Nathan. He was really pissing her off and she was tired of listening to his excuses. "Don't give me an excuse to let you help me, because I don't want your help. I do not understand why you just do not get it!"

"I will not allow you to trash talk one of my own so..." Reala gave up a deep sigh as she placed her palm on Nathan's torso then concentrated her energy until it formed a glyph which shattered the one that was inside Nathan's body as it became shards of energy before dissipating. "I don't expect any thanks. There, I undone the seal for you? Happy now? Now leave me alone already!"

"Reala..." Meira called Reala's name as she was quite lost on what just happened. She thought to herself quietly as she tried to put together what she just did. She just broke a very powerful magic seal. I cannot believe my eyes at the moment.
