Reala stood up for a moment and gathered her belongings while Meira remained seated. She noticed something was up with Meira, but she didn't quite know what it was. Meira tried to stand up then sat back down when she felt something inside her that gave her a disturbed look on her face. One that was both fear and confusion at the same time. She had overheard that Squall wanted Nathan to remain behind for something that looked like it was serious. Noticing Meira's strange reactions, Reala decided she would also remain behind and see what was going on. She sat her white bag that contained her belongings beside her feet while she heard out Squall.

"Urgh..." She said as she held her left eye as it started to throb in pain. She tried to swallow her pain so no one would notice continuing to hold her hand over it. Meira tried to suppress the energy that tried to surge out of her body. She could feel the depths of darkness inside her body that were trying to overwhelm her body. Not only were there one voice trying to resound to her and another one tried to talk to her as well. She tried hard to resist both voices despite struggling pained by the thought of suffering that she would be causing toward other people who were harbored by her enemies. She turned her attention like Reala toward Squall to hear what he had to say since it was of a serious nature.

Reala looked over toward Meira and noticed she didn't look so good. She gave her a look of concern that embraced her face, "Are you okay?" No word came from Meira though she did nod at Reala indicating she was fine.

Closing her eyes and sighing Xei decides that she will reveal why she keeps her identity secret. She wasn't entirely sure that it would help him understand the situation better, but at least this way he could assess the problematic circumstance she had been thrown into. She gave off a simple ahem before she started to speak to him formally in her usual tone. "I suppose I should reveal why my existence has been kept secret." She paused for a moment then recognized by Mithos voice that he had a problem of his own and then remembered he said that she wasn't the 'Ranathia' he knew. She smiled in her mind as her thoughts passed through. Of course I am not the Ranathia you remember. I have no idea who that even is though this person gives me an unsettling vibe I cannot explain. Like when I hear or think about the name something inside me becomes warm. So strange...

Before she was going to reveal her motive toward keeping who she really was secret first she had to test Mithos to make sure that he was trustworthy. She just met this person and didn't know if she could trust him or not. Regardless if he knew this Ranathia that she was supposed to know didn't mean she should just be so willing to trust him so easily. "Before I go into detail about who exactly I am and the answers you want to why everything seems so confusing I want you to understand that you do not live alone. As you know there are four planes of existence; however, there are other dimensions that exist outside your Standard Dimension. The Lower Dimension is divided into alternate dimensions that you are not aware of. I am not from your dimension. I actually hail from what is called the Elan Dimension which is one of the dimensions that you do not know exists. The other alternate dimensions are the Ascadian, your Standard Dimension and lastly the Original Dimension. I have counterparts you have encountered who look a lot like me. We still bear our distinguishing different traits. Meira and Reala are my counterparts who live in the Standard Dimension. I am the Elan Dimension version of a girl named Reala. I have a sister by the name of Lenna who is Meira's dimensional counterpart from the same dimension. You may have met another set of girls who resemble the two named Tarumi and Anayame. They are the counterparts from the Ascadian Dimension."

She paused for a moment as she asked for a glass of water and to rest her voice for a moment as she continued. "I am sure you are familiar with the word Antitype which a kind of being that has protection from immortals. That basically means we cannot die from immortals. Meaning they cannot kill us. This also means we are God Slayers which is another reference that is used to explain who we are. We come from the Original Dimension but I still haven't found out why we reign from there. All I know is that the Original Dimension is where the Spirits reside. Strange since we are not deities yet we are protected from them. I need you to keep my existence a secret. Mind if I roleplay as this Ranathia so that I may protect my identity until I gather more information and fulfill my purpose? Also, you may ask any questions you want of me. I'm not sure I will have the answers for you, but I will still try to answer to the best of my ability."

Ranathia looked down then started to turn bright red from the embarrassment of not realizing she had just walked out of her room not properly dressed. She immediately returned to her room and sorted through the clothes. Strangely she went through them all and saw none that she liked. She had one of the hand maidens fetch something from Meira's room. The hand maiden didn't quit understand why she wanted what she was asking for, but returned to her with some fancy looking clothes and with the insignia EP on them. She put on a very long dress that stretched down to her ankles and put on a pair of light blue high heels. She also put a tiara on her head which lettered EP. When she was done getting herself ready she walked out of the room in very fancy clothes that rich officials would wear. "Why am I in the Standard Dimension and where is this place I am at?" She paused for a moment as she stepped out of her room before closing the door with her scepter at her side.

"I'm sorry for my lack of manners since I'm very confused, allow me to introduce myself properly, I am the Erewhon Pavilion chieftain leader Princess Xeiyenreisha Wurzhan'dreis Vandesleiva'Reizure. You may just address me as Xei. I am a proud member of the Vandesleiva'Reizure family and the last descendant of the family. I am on an inter-dimensional mission to prevent your dimension from meeting the same fate as the dimension I was born from known as the Elan Dimension." She paused for a moment as she walked over and took a seat in one of the chairs. When she did so, she noticed one of the hand maidens mentioned the name Ranathia. She didn't know who exactly that was, but she felt a vibe from Mithos that felt familiar. "Who is this Ranathia you speak of?" She questioned toward Mithos as her old memories had finally resurfaced. This person didn't act like Ranathia at all. It was a completely different person from Ranathia. It was obvious that the person in front of them had to be some sort of high ranking noble but they couldn't place the finger on it.

Meanwhile back at Meira's manor, Ranathia laid in bed soundly asleep as the rest of the people inside the household were working on their activities inside the manor. When Ranathia opened her eyes she rose slowly from the dream she was just in. She looked around confused about where she was. She planted her feet on the floor and stood up as she surveyed the room. She wasn't even aware she was dressed in her undergarments as she looked around the room. She opened the door and stepped into the next room noticing a blonde haired man was working on something.

The first words to come from her mouth were, "Where am I? Who am I? What just happened to me?" Who are you? Why am I here? She stated toward the blonde haired man who was probably quite disturbed to see that Ranathia wasn't properly dressed when she left her room. It was obvious that she was certainly a different person from what people remembered her from.

Sentius looked around then noticed that the two were being watched and that a few students were peering out the window. He decided to return his sword back to its sheathe as the figure who approached him put away their scythe. The two had come to the acknowledgement that this was probably not the best time to be starting a confrontation. Neither of the two looked like they wanted to get the students involved in the fight or have someone get hurt who was innocent due to their own apparent recklessness.

"We will settle this another time. Now is not the time or place for starting a dispute." Sentius said in a more casual tone toward the other figure as he turned his back toward him and made his way back into the school building. The man called out asking Sentius to wait since he wanted to ask him something, but Sentius ignored him as he walked into the doors and out of sight. He grabbed his hand which looked like it had a wound on it and was bleeding though he certainly did not think much of it and ignored it.

The other figure turned around then mulled toward himself quietly as he began to walk away from the scene. You still haven't forgotten about that, have you? I wish you would since I have changed ever since we last met. Why do you continue to hold that same old grudge toward me as you did in the past? Those were his last thoughts as he disappeared out of sight.

Back inside the classroom Meira was having a hard time staying awake in class. She wanted to fall asleep because Squall's lectures were so damn boring but if she did that it just might get her into more trouble. She could only sigh as she looked at everyone else noticing they were paying attention to the teacher. Well, most of the students aside from the delinquents who were goofing off spaced out in their own fantasy worlds. She looked over toward Reala noticing she was taking notes and even she was paying close attention.

Reala was a person that Meira both envied and loved at the same time. Her sister was so intelligent and decisive regardless of her reckless nature which put her well-being in harm's way. But still she had all the qualities one could find in a leader and yet Meira couldn't find anything useful toward her from this class. She was about to finally fall asleep from the boredom where she heard the bell had rung and students flew out of their seats heading toward the door rather than letting Squall tell them that he dismissed them from the room and not the bell.

"I am bound to the rules of this environment just like everyone else." Those were Sentius surprising words as he walked away from Squall and back toward the doors of the school. He surveyed the area as he walked back toward the doors. There was no physical damage to the area aside from that crater created by the shard that just had impacted the ground. Just as he we was about to open the doors he noticed someone in the area then a familiar voice speak to him where he reached down to materialize his weapon into his hand.

"Never thought I'd see you..." Before the face could finish that statement Sentius drew his large katana and charged the individual where that individual also drew his scythe and the two clashed their weapons letting off a shockwave that could be felt inside the school. Most of the individuals thought it was just a slight tremor where they returned to their usual activities, but Meira and Reala both knew that was no simple tremor.

"This is some way to greet someone who you haven't seen in years." The man said as was still engaged in a weapon lock power struggle with Sentius. He noticed that Sentius eyes were shifted into a serious nature, but Sentius did not say a word. "Do not speak as if you've been forgiven for your sins because you haven't!" Sentius said as his eyes burned with rage which knocked back the other individual where they planted their weapon into the ground to prevent them from flying into something behind them. "You betrayed me and gave that program a mind of its own without my consent. You knew this would exactly happen since all you wanted to do was prove that you were better than me at magic. You and that damned fool Eidison..." He paused for a moment after he stressed Eidison's name in a tone that was was lit with rage. "Don't you dare speak to me casually like I have forgotten about your treachery!"

"Whoa cool!" One of the students said as he turned his attention toward the fight outside. He seemed to be more interested in the fight that had erupted rather than Squall's speech.

Ancients of Elan ~ Rise of The Chosen

Sentius saw that Squall had approached him where he turned his head to face him. He took the fragment he found on the ground from the wreckage and pocketed it. Afterward he turned one of his eyes toward the classroom to make sure Meira and Reala were both safe before he turned that eye back on Squall facing him face to face.

He noticed Squall had become very suspicious of his behavior when he listened to the man confront him with, "What are you doing here, and what was you doing in my classroom. You clearly was not, nor are a student."

Sentius closed his eyes and gave off a light sigh where he knew he would have to reveal some of his motives to get this person from becoming suspicious about him. He started off by answering the first part of his question which was addressed to him as what was his purpose in enrolling in the school in the first place. "I am acting as a vanguard to protect two of your students from a dangerous and very sinister force."

He paused for a moment as he turned his eyes toward the two girls he was talking about before he continued with what he was about to say. "Let me warn you that both your students Meira and Reala have both been targeted by a man who runs a terrorist organization by the name of Alkmaar. His motives to me are clear which those two girls are essential toward his Perfect Unification Plan or PUP which I have no intention of participating in. You have two options. You can either trust me and help me safeguard those two girls from this threat since I have two of the other pieces he needs in my possession that I am watching over or you can choose to become my enemy. I have no intention of harming your students and I will adhere to any punishment you deem necessary for interrupting your class." He concluded as he turned his back toward Squall and began to walk back toward the doors that lead him into the classroom, but turned to face Squall one last time to see if he had anything further to say.

Reala noticed Sentius said the name Alkmaar when she was reading the movement of his lips. She thought to herself as she looked over toward Meira then Nathan. After that she turned her eyes toward Danny and last Annenis and then Alice to see what their reactions were toward the situation. Alice and Annenis looked on in confusion which was typical and Danny looked the same way to her, but she noticed Nathan was acting all strange for some reason. Her eyes were filled with suspicion when he started to be on guard for no apparent reason like he was paranoid. To her, he looked like someone was out to get him which made her give off a long sigh in direction. "Relax you dolt, it was just an unidentifiable object that crashed landed. It's nothing that isn't natural and you act like as if it was a ploy of some kind by some unknown enemy. So naive..."

"Reala, can't you try to be nice and get along with Nathan?" Meira questioned as she soon let her voice be heard after hearing the insults Reala poked toward Nathan. She didn't understand why her sister was acting like Nathan was some sort of enemy of hers. If it was over what happened earlier she just needed to let that go already. What had happened was already history now and there was no point on mulling over it.

Reala ignored what Meira said as she turned her eyes and peered down at Alice. She then spoke in a much softer and more polite toward Alice asking, "Is everything okay, Alice? There is no need to be scared since all it was is an unidentifiable object that poses no direct that which crashed into the ground outside our classroom."

When the dust cleared, both Meira and Reala's hands had a glow to them where a strange rune like figured appeared. The entire class was baffled by the strange glow that their hands were giving off. Meira looked down at her hand and touched the glow and noticed a certain warmth to that glow then she thought she could hear Ranathia's voice nearby? But how was that even possible? Last she knew Ranathia had gone to some ruins and left them all behind. Reala also noticed Ranathia's voice, but she tried to contain her surprise as she didn't want to cause an unnecessary incident during their class.

Alice and Annenis were whispering before Alice turned towards Meira, "Miss Meira, do you know what just exploded? You're the one that saw it first."

"I don't really have an answer." Meira paused as she turned her attention toward Alice and Annenis, but she gave them a widened smile letting them know that it wasn't anything particularly dangerous that had crashed into the ground. Something inside her told her it wasn't though it didn't really give any indication to where the strange object had come from in the first place.

The two turned to look where Sentius was sitting and he was gone. He had disappeared like a shot without anyone noticing that he was gone. Before anyone knew Sentius had already gone outside, but no one knew how he got there so fast. He didn't even get up from his desk and no one saw him leave the room. Right when they were occupied by the crash landing of the object Meira noticed a disturbance around where Sentius was sitting. She wondered to herself if he had used his technique that is unique to him to get outside without anyone ever noticing he had left.

Sentius walked over toward the strange object and began examining it. He noticed a familiarity about it though he couldn't quite place his finger onto it until he heard a voice come from. When he heard the voice he was struck with surprise since the voice coming from it was none other than Ranathia. He had met before, but it was a long time ago. Judging by the serious look on his face you could tell that Sentius knew exactly what had just happened after he analyzed the object. He looked at the ground observing the object as he thought to himself. "This is a part of Ranathia. It's a part of her memory that has been separated from her body, but how did it get separated and did her Memoria Matrix shatter just like glass?" He paused for a moment as he cupped the object into his hand looking at it more closely. "I must return this to her. She probably isn't herself at all and that foolish brother of hers hasn't been looking out for her! How could he allow this happen!"

One of the students that noticed that Sentius had just left the room without saying a word or getting permission turned his attention toward the teacher asking him, "Mr. Squall, that mean looking silver haired guy left the room without even asking? Isn't that against the regulations of this academy?"

While Squall was talking about the principles of magic, fragments of an object that came out of Ranathia had shattered being shot into the sky toward space and soaring to unknown regions. Unfortunately, one of the trajectories was the school in which he was teaching. The students for the most part were paying attention to their teacher while some others were giving him funny faces and a few others mocking him. Sentius just looked on like he didn't care at all in the world. Just as he was about to quell the annoyance of the delinquents behind him Meira sensed something about to fall in their direction where she turned her head toward the window and said, "What is that? It's like a shooting star headed this direction. The students were about to jump up and immediately exit the room in fear of a collision, but the object made a huge explosion several meters away from their classroom, but the impact was strong enough to shatter the windows where they covered their eyes to avoid the glass fragments flowing into the air from the magnitude of the blast. One of the students jumped up and questioned toward Squall when the dust cleared, "Mr. Squall, do you have any idea what just happened?" He said with concern embracing his eyes.

"Listen Ranathia; you have to do this. If you do not, then you will surly die. And if you die, then what will happen to your niece? The girl is already lazy enough when it comes to her duties, what do you think will happen if her only remaining family dies?" Ranathia heard from Mithos which made her ponder what he just said. She said to herself in her mind. Does he really care about me? I have a strange feeling inside my body, but I cannot explain it. Right when she was about to continue thinking to herself a voice resounded to her in her head. The voice was full of warmth which caused the ice cold doubt to finally leave her body and prevent her from being paralyzed by the fear of the own recklessness of the magic. Ranathia allowed the energy to flow like a lightning bolt as she did her best to endure the pain. You could see her cringing face which writhed in severe pain as the dangerous poison inside her body was being expended into the ground.

As the energy got less tense she felt the pain going away. All was going well until a shiny object appeared from her expending that energy out of the ground with strange markings on it. The object that appeared was a shiny spherical orb which looked like it was cracking until it broke where shards of light shot off in various directions. No one really knew what happened, but the orb shattering caused Ranathia to collapse. Her pulse was checked and it was quite normal. Though no one could explain what just happened a moment ago. The man who taught her the magic did not say a word about what happened even though he didn't seem to like it by the unhappy look on his face. The housemaids carried Ranathia off back to her bed."If you really care about her." He said to Mithos in the distance as he disappeared into the shadows which swallowed him into the darkness. "Then you will help her find herself. It is obvious you care about her. She will not be herself and it is your duty to protect her and make sure that she regains what she just lost. Do not worry about what happened. It was expected to happen. That is all I can say. Please do not leave her side, okay?" Those were his finally words as no other words could be heard as the man was gone with no trace of him around anymore.

Ancients of Elan ~ Rise of The Chosen

The man ignored the part where Mithos complained about him saying a few words that looked condescending to him. Regardless of how he felt, he didn't really care one way or another. They were just words and those affected by mere words he found were weak-minded. He woke Ranathia up who was very weak and had to be carried by the two hand maidens toward the outside where he was going to perform his technique. She didn't look to be herself and her eyes looked very dead when as they just gazed where she did not say a word.

"Ranathia, I need you to listen to me very closely. Nod yes if you understand what I'm saying." She nodded slowly with her head yes as he took his duster off and put it around her so no one could see her undergarments she was wearing. He then closed his eyes and calmed his power then opened them as it looked like a bolt of lightning struck him from above and is energy just ignited almost knocking everyone off their feet causing several people to be blinded by the blast of the aura he let loose. He slowly calmed it to a more gentle phase then looked at Ranathia and told her to do the samething.

Ranathia took up a position mimicking exactly what he said to do, but stopped when she felt a sharp pain in her body. It felt like her body was about to explode, but he told her to continue or else it would just get worse. She needed to expel that energy that was poisoning her body outward so that it wasn't bottled up in her body. If she didn't, he informed everyone that her organs would slowly decompose which was not a good sign. Ranathia tried to attempt what he said, but she was too scared to do it. She knew the Ancient Magic he taught her known as the Lightning Rod Effect was extremely dangerous and one wrong move and she could blow up the entire area and not mean to. She was too frightened to attempt it, but her condition got worse where she coughed and this time spit up blood which fell to the ground. "I Can't do it, I'm too scared. If I fail I'll kill myself and everyone around me. There is no way I can bring myself to do that!" She stubbornly protested as he attempted to convince her in any way possible that it was the only way she was going to get better.

He looked over toward Mithos closing his eyes then sighed as he started to speak, "It's up to you, Mithos. If you really do not care about her life then you can just do nothing and let her die. But if you have even an ounce of dignity left you'll try to find some way to get her over her fear. If she continues like this, she will surely die within hours. There is not much time, she has to stay focused and keep calm."
