“Is Seif…sure?” Duo asked. “T-T-There’s no mistake about it…that’s my kid brother…” he said with an upset look. “Then you should be happy…why have such a solemn look?” Cicerio asked. “Because…I don’t want him seeing me like this! I look like a monster!” “So then…are the rest of us monsters as well?” Shay asked. It got eerily quiet until Cicerio laughed. “Hmph, it’s no damn wonder why you were cursed, even now you still treat everything as though it were lower than you…still you’re a horrible person.” Cicerio walked off back to Eden’s room, leaving Seif to think. “I…don’t want to admit it but…maybe he’s-“ “Yea…I know…” Deciding to leave Seif alone, Shay left as well, except of course for Duo who probably wouldn’t be moved unless the planet shattered. “Say…hello!” Duo told, tugging on Seif’s sleeve. “No I…” “Say hello, that’s what Seif told me to do whenever I see somebody.” He told, pushing his ‘master’ beside the bed.

Not so long ago once stood a manor with a white picket fence. Within that manor lived the children of a dead man who happened to be quite rich and of course all of his things went to his two young sons. The eldest young man was one with a bitter and uncaring heart, each time he walked by someone, always an angry look worn. While the lesser child completely innocent and smiling at every passerby. Yet still if one was ever looking for a strong bond, none would match these two. No matter how bitter the older was, at the sight of his little brother, he’d be smiling from ear to ear and never would frown no matter what was going on within. The two adored one another to the core. Yet, the older brother’s bitter heart soon got the better of him. He was soon cursed to have the appearance of that which he mocked most and out of fear; he fled. Yet still, even upon living within the Forest never once was his brother not on his mind. Every person had known about how bitter he himself was so…why would they ever give the lesser one a home? In their eyes, he’d end up just like the one before. So with the money kept, he gave his kid brother a home, but still…he never once saw him. All because his greatest fear was that the sight of him would make the boy run until he could see him no more.

“H-Hey...you…er…okay?” Seif asked his younger brother. Opening his blue-gray eyes, the young boy blinked until his vision came back into focus. Immediately he sat up and looked around,”B-B-Brother?” he asked in a broken tone. Tears actually fell from Seif’s eyes as he embraced his brother out of joy. “You’re not…afraid of me?” “I knew it…I knew you were still alive…I knew I’d see you again…” the boy choked out. “Ah! Eemil you had a lot of smoke inhalation, you need to be careful, try not to talk…okay?” “O…kay.” He said weakly. Duo looked curiously at the Eemil before smiling. “This is Seif’s little brother?” “Yes, he’s someone very important to me. Someone that I love very much…and I’m very glad he’s okay.” “Then he can come with us?” “Ah…that’s right…we certainly have a lot to catch up on eh?” “Y-Yes…” After explaining everything that was going on at Lauon and what they had discovered, the 13 year old almost couldn’t believe it. “You’re…not lying….are you?” “I promise I’d never lie about something like this…I have quite a few people to back me up as well.” Eemil kept his eyes fixed on the ground before looking back up. “So...when?” “I guess whenever we can-“ Just then a huge echoing boom sounded through the air making everyone fall to their knees except for Duo. A voice sounded through the air, an eerily familiar one. “Hello my precious civilians please forgive me for having to use such force upon you but alas…I knew that it might be the only way for some to listen. I have just conquered that accursed land filled to the brim with monsters and now…I am about to trample over those silly little elves. However they happen to be quite an annoying bunch. I have given them a letter stating that if they surrender then I won’t have to slaughter them all…but I haven’t received any sort of reply yet…but that was before I got this~” Suddenly holographic screens with an image showing Princess Yadra appeared, a wickedly cruel smile on her face. “I now possess a tool that let’s me control everything~ And that’s why all of you can hear and see me now~ But of course…that’s not the only thing I can do~ I also have the ability to strengthen our military to immeasurable heights and…I can also set of an explosion to turn a nation into nothing more than ashes all with a simple order…so then dear prince…who I oh so happen to know is here, feel like answering me? For far, far, far too long has our nation received no proper respect, and I say that it’s about time we get it eh? Sorry monsters but it’s our time to shine now, who agrees with me?!” An echoing chorus of cheers could be heard through the school walls. “How is she…doing this?” Prisca asked. “Program 01…” Duo answered. Silence. “That’s…no…that’s impossible! We looked through that place clean and…it has nothing to run on, plus how could she get down there?!” asked Seif. “Bad things…and it has to be Program 01…the sound didn’t make me fall…” explained Duo. “Then…can you do something about it?” Shay-ron asked. He nodded, “Yes…I will try.” Closing his eyes and holding the bed with his left hand, the process began. One by one, image screens began disappearing and no longer were they able to hear Yadra’s voice. “What the hell is going on!?” Yadra asked to one of her advisors. “I’m…not sure ma’am…it looks like something’s shorted out his system!” he explained. She spat at the man and glared at her knew tool, “Start working you piece of junk!!” The older program felt wires wrapping tightly around his neck as though they were choking the life out of him. “E-E-Error…Level 5 security breached…systems failing….” He replied weakly. “Damn piece of junk! I gave you a soul…do something!!” she shouted. “Princess…this kind of technology…it’s very powerful; if it breaks then that’s it…we can’t fix him! Please I implore you….shut him off!!” offered another advisor. The princess bit her lip and slumped to the ground, “Initiate shut down…” she grumbled. Just as the order was given, the figure collapsed with a somewhat loud thud. Not so far off, Duo(who had actually been floating in the air) fell down into Seif’s arms out of exhaustion. “Duo…did it. Radiant Program 01 shut off….” “Radiant? Is that what you’re called?” Seif asked. “Duo found that name many times in 01’s data bank…” “I see, well Seif is very proud of you for doing that. You probably bought us a decent amount of time for us to escape, that was an amazing thing you did…” he complimented, messing up his hair. “So then…where will we go?” Shay asked. “I’ve been thinking about that and…I think Dagu would be the safest. It’s far enough and there’s no way she’d know or track us…” Prisca answered. “So then let’s get the hell out of here.” After picking up Eemil and Eden out of their beds it was decided that Duo would hold them, Eden on his back and Eemil in his arms. “Alright…everyone holding onto me?” asked Prisca. The group nodded all holding onto the undine in someway or another. And just like that within a few moments…they were an entire country away. “What the hell is wrong with that piece of junk?! Why isn’t it moving?!” barked the Queen. “Your Highness, he’s Radiant technology, which means he’s very…delicate. Please don’t rush him!” Sure enough the original awoke, his golden eyes a bit tired looking. “Well, what the hell happened?” she barked. “S-S-System diagnostics indicate a…internal system hacking and viral delivery…” “What the hell is he saying?” “He’s saying that someone went into his system and delivered a virus…” answered her advisor. “So then…is he gunna work?” she barked. “Yes…within a few hours, most data will have been recovered.” “Most?” “I may be a bit…glitchy…” “Hmph, then take however long you need to take. We’ll get those fools soon enough but in the mean time, I have a forest to overrun, now if you’ll excuse me~” she skipped off. Eventually 01 was left alone by himself, and tears actually fell. “Even…he got a name….”

Eventually the children had been spat out right on the shores of a small lake. This of course opted for Prisca’s transformation but of course Shay-ron pulled her up into his arms. As the others made their way onto dry land, they could definitely tell that they were someplace else. One that actually still had the greenery of the land left. “B-Beautiful….” Eden marveled. “Duo thinks we should find a place to stay…preferably one to help them.” Seif agreed. “Yea, we have plenty of time since most likely she’s doing an invasion…Cicerio did you get time to warn them?” The child nodded, “I did what I was able…and I told them it was mandatory they leave…I only pray they listened to what I said…” “Why would they doubt you? You’re a pretty smart kid…” Prisca commented. “I’ve been told many, many times by family, advisors and even observers that I’m not ready and that I’m not able to lead. But whenever I ask them what it is that I am missing…I never get an answer.” “Your…answer.” Eemil replied. “What the hell is that supposed to mean?!” “Exactly what it does mean, maybe that’s something you’re supposed to find out for yourself. That’s apart of being a leader, well at least you’d know that if you were supposed to be one~” Seif mocked. Cicerio growled then turned away, “Shouldn’t we be focusing on finding a place to stay?” “Right. Come on guys, this can’t be too far of a walk….” Eventually the group had come upon a hill covered in all sorts of flowers, far as the eye could see. But, not so far away in the distance was a few buildings and windmills which surely meant one thing; a town. Suddenly Eden gasped and pointed up to the air, “Look!” she cried out. A beautiful creature, one none of the others had never before seen had been galloping along the skies. It surely could’ve been called a horse except for a few key features. It’s mostly snow colored fur shimmered in the wind, but what was most eye-catching was it’s blue-edged wings. “A flying…horse?! What…is that?!” Shay asked, looking to Cicerio who only shook his head. Not even Prisca knew what the mysterious beast was, but perhaps they’d find answers within this strange new town. “Aye, what you saw be our patron symbol. A Pegasus. Not many people see ‘em. Especially not strangers so ya’ll really must be special then…” answered the gate guard. “Pegasus? What happened to your normal horses then?” Cicerio asked. “Simple, everything around here is pure as it can get. Pure water, pure light, pure air, pure flowers…and pure magic~ Has a special effect on things after awhile ya know?” By now luckily Prisca had long since dried, but the sun was going down and quiet obviously everyone was getting a little tired. “Is there…maybe some place that we could stay?” Cicerio asked. “”Aye! The hotel should be fine for ye! Come on! Allow me ta show ye the way!” said the man. The town was quite beautiful; the same flowers that already had surrounded the area also too had surrounded the town. Windmills and gardens seemed to be the main attribute of the tiny town but there luckily was a quaint little hotel. Right beside the building though sat a man of perhaps his early twenties. He was tall, this obvious even though he was in a sitting position, his body an almost perfect mix. His perfect face though must’ve been his most adoring feature. His skin a beautiful light pale, complementing his mysterious dark chocolate eyes. “Who’s...that?” Eemil whispered to the guard. “Aye, that be the man who can’t be moved...he’s sat in that same spot for about a year now. Granted he goes to the bathroom and gets food from us...hell he even gets money! Yet still he just sits there in silence for no reason...he’s a pretty thing too, doesn’t exactly seem right for him to be just sittin here wastin his life eh? But enough about that, you should best keep away from him...let’s just get you settled in town.”
