"I came here to see if she was doing well, but I saw she wasn't." He paused for a moment as he turned away from the door and closed it instead of leaving like he was about to. "Do not get the wrong idea. My care for her is strong, but I wouldn't ever want to put her through suffering for no reason. It would make me no different than someone who was torturing her." He paused once again as you could sense the sincerity inside his serious voice. It was obvious that this man cared deeply for her. Enough to not want to put her through torture even if she was near death. Everyone's eyes gazed upon him as they stared in suspicion that he did not care about her at all even though his words said otherwise.

"Fine." He said raising his voice in frustration. He walked over toward her beside then turned toward Mithos and the housemaids. "I will perform a very dangerous Ancient Magic on her. Whether she learns it is up to her, but it will put her through enormous pain and suffering. Is that what you really want for her, Mithos? I know you are foolishly allowing your mortal thoughts to tell you she doesn't care about you, but she very much does. She saved you from being crushed by the rocks inside the ruin. If you really care about, would you subject her to such torment?"

"You all look at me like I'm some sort of villain anyway." He added as he gazed at her body taking a close look at the runes that glowed and her condition which was starting to slowly get worse since she started to show symptoms of coughing.

"I know how to cure her though I doubt you would want to know how. The way I am talking about is way too cruel for her and would cause her tremendous pain and suffering." The man said as he made his way toward the exit. He knew that she would have to learn the same technique that Sentius and him had learned. Though since her body was infected with the energy and with it poisoning her meant that her vital organs were probably becoming weaker. If he nothing was done in her current state she could die from her organs decomposing after a certain stage.

One of the housemaids stood in the path of the man and begged him to help their Lady Ranathia. She owed a great bit of gratitude to her since if it weren't for her she would still be a poor young woman on the street scrounging for food in a dangerous environment. "Please, sir! We beg of you! Save Lady Ranathia. We owe her so much and if we could help persuade you to at least try to save her life would be a payment toward the debt we already owe her."

"You don't understand." The man said as he moved her out of his way. He then turned around with a very serious fierce look on his face. The straight face ferocious look was an indication he was not kidding about anything he said. "The way to save her could kill her as well. She would suffer for nothing? Do you honestly think I would want to put her through that! Now get out of my way."

She looked over toward one of the other hand maidens and told them to fetch a doctor immediately. The one she looked at nodded and immediately took off full stride out the door of the manor in search of a doctor. The other one do what she could to comfort her. She was about to change the towel on her forehead when a voice startled her out of nowhere and she turned to see a silver haired man dressed in black clothes appear right behind her.

"It seems the poison of her own power is having a negative effect on her body. Her body is not used to what she is experiencing so it is doing its best to guard against it." He apused momentarily as he walked over toward her other side examining her body including the strange marks on her body that glowed. "It is too early for her power to awaken and if we do not do something about it, her condition could become fatal." The man said as he walked over to examine her situation. It was the same man Mithos and Ranathia saw on the ship and the very same figure he saw at the abandoned warehouses. Though when you got a closer glimpse he resembled the man who appeared out of nowhere that Mithos ran into except this man was all alone and not accompanied by any female figures.

"Who are you?" The housemaids said as they went on the defensive from the sudden emergence of an intruding figure that did not enter the manor like normal people would. They thought he might be some kind of thief, but the man shook his head informing them that he had no interest in what they call money.

One of the hand maidens was about to touch Ranathia's body where the marks appeared, but the man grabbed her hand and shook his head. He informed her that touching the marks would poison her and since she wasn't as strong as Ranathia it would prove fatal to her. "Those are runes on her body that no normal mortal can touch. If you touched one the effect might prove catastrophic for you or even fatal."

The man paid no heed to Mithos has he flew away though he pondered a thought that brought curiosity soaring into his mind. He had gone five hours back into the past, but the fact that this Professor wasn't there to meet with them did interest him. The man then surveyed his surroundings noticing there were several buildings, but then sensed an energy reading in one of them. The reading was pretty weak so it had to be a regular mortal with no special abilities to offer. "I sensed her presence on the Davustra while I was in slumber. Though why did she appear on the Davustra? And what was that Angelian trying to do? I know he was trying to alter the past, but it seems he caused a disturbance between their meeting with that Professor." He said as he walked over and took a seat on some of the old crates that lay on the floor inside one of the old warehouses. It was obvious it was an industrialized area since there several looking factory buildings with smoke stacks that peered into the sky. "Perhaps I should find this person. I might be able to find Xei and find exactly what is going on in our present time? If I have been awakened by her then it means something serious is about to go down." He said as he tried to pick up the fix on the Angelian's location then found as he enveloped himself in light and disappeared in a flash. An old man with glasses came out of hiding confused by what he had just saw. He had been waiting for someone to show, but they never came. He decided to leave exiting the warehouse realizing that they were never going to show.

Ranathia was lying in the bed stripped down to her undergarments and put in bed covered with blankets as a towel was put over her head. It seemed she had a fever and the hand maidens of the house were trying their best to comfort while they could. They didn't know exactly why her body was covered in strange markings that they did not understand or why it glowed like a Roman candle. Ranathia toss and turned in bed looking unwell as she muttered in her sleep a very strange chant which no one understood. From her look on her face and her cringing face it looked like she was having a nightmare. When Mithos returned one of the housemaids confronted Mithos informing him about Ranathia's current situation. "We don't understand at all what happened to her. Her condition has not changed and it looks like she is very sick, Mithos. Do you have any idea what could have happened to Lady Ranathia?" She said as you could see Ranathia was really pale and her head was so hot that it felt like there was an inferno raging inside her body.

When Mithos appeared at the rendezvous point, there was no one to be found. All there were was abandoned warehouses that looked empty and there was no sign of people in the area either. No matter how long he waited, no one appeared or showed up. Not even the Mithos and Ranathia from the time he had entered had shown and over an hour had passed. Though the man that was trapped inside the veil of light started laughing softly as he showed himself shaking his head. "Do you actually think time travel is that simple? Because you entered this time period, the present you was replaced by yourself. The events that were supposed to happen have been altered to never happen now. You must be curious to how the current present that was the past has changed. As far as waiting, you might as well stop wasting your time here since no one is going to come. First time in over one hundred billion years I've seen the light of day. A lot has changed since I was sleeping."

The computer transported both of them to the ground. When they reached the ground the appeared inside the quarters or Reiya. The room they were in was the study where the hand maidens looked at each other confused about what just happened. Ranathia still was on the floor unconscious, but her body was glowing as strange symbols appeared all over her skin igniting like a roman candle. A light shot down from the sky where the ship disappeared into the light then reappeared as a handheld communicator in Mithos hands. The Davustra had reduced its form to a very small communications device that could easily be held in someone's hand. It was hard to believe that little device was one of the most advanced warships in existence. "I will remain in Standby Mode. Call me when you need." The computer said as it went silent. That even confused the hand maiden's more where they looked at each then Mithos, "Master Mithos, what is going on here?" They questioned lost in all the confusion of what had just happened.

"You wish to exit?" The computer asked as it prepared a portal where a door opened that was hooked onto a generator. "I have set the coordinates for the teleporter to return you back to your residence. Would you like me to return Master as well? Also, since I am the only fully AI controlled warship in existence with a conscious of my own, would you like me to enter Cloaking Mode where I transform into a small communication device that you hold in your hand until you need me again?" The computer concluded as the lights inside the teleporter started flashing indicating it was ready.

"Warp mode engaged." The computer said as the ship arose from the ruins it was buried in then shot upward into the atmosphere out of Gaea and into space. It then turned away from the planet as it electrified the space around it. It then opened a wormhole as it shot into the wormhole disappearing into the space. It traveled around the rainbow like space like area for awhile until it exited. "I have retracted time to exactly five hours prior to the events of today." The voice said as the ship entered Gaea's atmosphere and hovered up in the skies high above the capital. Far below was the large capital that had buildings towering over it. The Mithos and Ranathia from the time they were sent back to who were in a car with Ranathia driving had disappeared where they never met up with the man they ran into earlier. Only that one event had been changed where it never happened while Mithos and Ranathia were still up in the ship. The computer then opened up a window like area so they could see the sky and made the floor look like a window where they could see the capital below them.

"I have analyzed your data. Your name is Mithos Yggdrasil. You were born into the famous Astarita family. I welcome you aboard the most sophisticated warship ever created. I am so advanced that I can be reduced into a small computer like device and returned normal form as you can see now. You wish to return to the Kingdom of Windgrace, correct? What time period would you like to go to? I am also a time machine which can travel back into time at any time you set. Since my Master is unwell, I am yours to command, Sir Mithos." The voice said to Mithos as it made all its controls go operational. "Please set your destination into the navigational system. Include the time and date you wish to return to." It said as a screen appeared out of nowhere with buttons that were translated into a language both could understand.

"Welcome back, Princess Xei. We have been anxiously been awaiting for your return to the Davustra." A voice said out of nowhere as a bunch of equipment and gadgets appeared out of nowhere. Screens that looked like they were floating appeared and a very large one. There was strange writing on the floor. A door opened which lead into the hallway which looked like the inside of a space warship. Right beside the door laid the capsule that Ranathia saw in her vision, but she still laid unconscious on the floor. Only one other figure was in the room who was still trapped in a veil of light unconscious with his head looking at the ground.

Ranathia and Mithos looked like they were teleported into a very highly advanced area. The watery like walls with electricity were still present, but now there was a chance to leave the room after the voice to spoke to them. All the equipment in the room looked so sophisticated that there was no way it was from any present government in existence. Also the strange writing on the floor was written in a language neither could understand. There was also a table that appeared with chairs so they could have a seat if they wanted. A transparent wall though protected the area that housed the unconscious man.
