11 Visiting them, mysterious girl

"it's already this late?" Hector ask looking at the sky, "Mhm. Theresa, let's go." Ashley said yawning, "looks like someone's tired." Theresa giggles, "Bye Hector, Arkus." She smiles, waving with her right hand, her left hand is supporting the tired Ashley. "Bye!" Hector and Arkus said waving with their hand and paw.

Hector looks towards his fox friend, "would you mind accompanying me?" He ask, "Fine, I'm too lazy to walk by myself anyway." Arkus said wagging his tail lazily, "Sure, sure you lazy fox." Hector chuckle. The two then go to a nearby flower shop, to buy lilies. After that, they go to the hill, to set up the transportation spells.

It took a few minutes for him to set it up, "Finally. What times is it now?" Hector ask Arkus, "9 PM, maybe." Arkus shrugs, "I guess." Hector said, he steps up to the transportation spells.

[Shirogane Kingdom, graveyard]

The view immediately changes, it shows that they are on a graveyard. He approached two big gravestones, behind the gravestones is a statue of them, the King and the Queen, representing the kingdom. The gravestones on the left read, "Elaine Shirogane – 473-500." The right one, "James Shirogane 471-500."

Arkus jump off of his shoulder sitting on the ground, Hector kneeled down and put the lilies on both of the gravestones. "Um. Hello mom, dad. Today is pretty cold." Hector said starting a conversation.

He take a deep breath, "As always, I'm doing great, nothing to worry about. Many fun things happened, I wish you guys can see me, watching me, smiling at me." He smiles, "I really miss you guys. I really hope I can see both of your faces again, your embrace, your soft smiles, and your soothing voice." He said closing his eyes for a while, feeling the cold breeze.

"you'll see, I'm going to be the first ranked mage! Remember? My dream. To be the first ranked mage, to make you guys proud. I'll be there in no time! Please look out for me!" He bows at the last sentence. He smiles, "See you later, I'll visit you guys again next week." Hector said waving his hand.

"Let's go." Hector said to Arkus, Arkus immediately jump to his shoulder, "Teehee! Master! Don't cry!" Arkus tease wiping Hector tears, "I-I am not! Your hallucinating!" Hector declined wiping away his tears, "Sure, sure." Arkus laugh, "Tch." Hector said clicking his tongue. "Are you mad master?" Arkus said in a joking manner. "I am not." Hector reply crossing his arms.

"Yes, you are."

"No."

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yes."

"No!"

"No."

"Oh no! You don't got me there!" Hector said crossing his arms, laughing afterward, "fine." Arkus said laughing along.

Hector eyes land to a girl in front of them, the girl then flashes a playful smile at him, "Oi! Did you hear me? Let's go home!" Arkus said waving his tiny little paws in front of him, making Hector blink, "Did you see her? Where is she?" Hector asks looking around for the girl, "what girl? It's only the two of us!" Arkus said confuse with his master attitude.

"I'm serious! It's right in front of us before!" Hector said trying to convince him, "yea sure." Arkus said plainly. "You're not are you?" Hector ask, "Yes, let's go home!" Arkus demand, "fine." Hector groan.

"Sleep well." Zeolite said closing Celine door. He takes a long sigh, and goes outside, he looks above, admiring the stars. "What a beautiful night right?" The mayor said approaching him. "Yes." Zeolite nods, "you don't take a rest sir Zeolite?" The mayor ask, "Later, I still want to see the beautiful sky." Zeolite reply crossing his arms, "do they means something special to you?" The mayor ask again, "Yes. It reminds me of someone." Zeolite said, remembering the times he and his sister watching the stars, until she was taken away.

"I see. Well, have a beautiful night, sir Zeolite! And be sure to take enough rest for tomorrow!" The mayor said waving his hand at him, while Zeolite smiles a little. "Yea, sure."

"I wonder…where are you? Can I see you again?..." He said to himself while admiring the stars.

[Somewhere in Zosce territory]

"Sir, can I ask something?" A black-haired girl asks, "Sure, what is it, Isla?" the man who sits on a throne ask, his name is Zosce. "What is your purpose on all these things?" The girl named Isla asks quietly, "simple, I want to make myself a kingdom, where everyone lives peacefully. Equally. What you want to be my advisor?" Zosce said smirking, his smirk drops to a questioning face when he asks if she wants to be his advisor.

"No thanks. But can I meet my brother again?" Isla asks staring at him, "why's that? Of course! If he accepts my intention of course." The last sentence was said in a dark voice.

"If he not?" Isla ask again, "why, why, you asked too many! Why don't you rest now? You're probably tired from the mission." Zosce said avoiding the topics, "right, see you later, master Zosce." Isla said bowing, her voice filled with plainness. When Isla leave, he spoke, "of course, those who declined my intention shall be eliminated, Isla." He chuckles darkly, "Now, I just need that La Fleur life's, and that Shirogane runs down Sacred Magic. Everything will be perfect! And I shall lead my kingdom perfectly! Hahaha!" Zosce laughs evilly.

"Zeolite! Wake up! It's already morning!" Celine's voice said shaking his body slightly, "Mhm…" Zeolite groaned, he rubs his eyes, and stretch his body, "God…oh, you're ready?" Zeolite ask looking at the fully prepared Celine, "mhm! I don't want to mess up on my first mission!" Celine said with full determination.

"Right, can you wait outside? I have to get dress." Zeolite said standing up, "sure!" Celine said, she went outside and close the door. He takes a deep breath, before get change. Celine taps her foot, while mumbling a lullaby, "You seem in an absolute pleasant day." Someone said, Celine look towards her side and see a young woman, "Yes I am! Since this is my first time on a mission!" Celine smile, "Fiery Spirit huh?" The woman asks looking at her pin.

"You're right! I'm a Fiery Spirit member!" Celine said happily, "I see, did you have fun?" The woman asks smiling, "Of course!" Celine nod, "oh look at the time, I had to go." The woman waves her hands, as Celine wave back. Shortly, Zeolite opens the door.

"Oh, you're done." Celine said, "yea, who were you talking to?" Zeolite asks curious, "just a random citizen! Let's go!" Celine said, she can't wait to do her first mission. "Alright, alright." Zeolite chuckle.

The woman who approaches Celine before is speaking with someone, "yes sir. She's absolutely fine. Nothing to worry about." A man then replies, "I see. Does she had fun?" The woman smiles before telling him, "she is, even she's becoming a member of a certain guild."

"Is that so? Can you tell me what's guild she's in?" The man ask a little surprised, "Find out yourself, all I can say the guild is pretty famous~" The woman reply in a joking manner, "hey! Nozomi-" The woman named Nozomi turns off her communication device, "What will you do, when she found out who she is?" She muttered clenching the communication device. "I hope things go on smoothly."
