E.O.M.E.I.F

Edward, Ron, and Bob entered Ravenwood, a town known for its bustling market and diverse shops.

As they walked along the lively street filled with various shops selling swords, flowers, weapons, and potions, Bob's attention strayed to a nearby brothel. Swiftly, Edward grabbed him by the collar and redirected his focus, pulling him away from the tempting distraction.

Ron, on the other hand, couldn't take his eyes off the grand southern palace looming in the distance.

"Wow, how many people do you think live there?" Ron asked.

"Probably only a few, it's mostly just for show," Edward replied.

As they continued down the street, Bob couldn't resist making a joke.

"I hope our place isn't too fancy, I only brought my second-best monocle," he quipped.

When they finally arrived at their destination, a stunning mansion with a beautiful garden, Ron was taken aback.

"This place is incredible! I didn't know there were rich Abyssians in Aeris," he exclaimed.

Edward simply smirked and replied, "There's a lot you don't know about this world, kids"

"305, Ilivon street, yes this is the right place" said Edward as they entered the courtyard.

As Edward led the group into the courtyard of the mansion, Bob's eyes widened at the sight of the beautiful garden with colourful flowers and the soothing sound of the waterfall. "Wow, this place is amazing," he exclaimed, "I feel like I'm in a fairy tale!"

Ron nodded in agreement, taking in the grandeur of the mansion with its towering pillars, intricate carvings, and sprawling courtyards. "This must be one of the most luxurious homes I've ever seen, even in his previous life" Ron thought to himself.

"Knock, Knock" Edward knocked on the door. Soon a lady opens up the door, she looks like a maid in the mansion.

"Is the owner of the mansion here?" asked Edward.

"Yes, she is. And may I ask who you are?" asked the lady at the entrance cheerfully.

"The fox wears a red coat on Tuesdays," replied Edward to the maid.

The maid's expression turned serious. "Were you followed?"

"No," Edward reassured her.

"Come on in, then. The madam is waiting for you," said the maid as she opened the door and let them inside.

"So, it was a she" thought Ron.

As they entered, they saw a line of maids waiting in the hallway to greet them.

"Damn, bro, this place is huge!" exclaimed Bob as he gazed at the vast space inside the mansion.

As the maid led them to the door, she gestured and said, "Madam Gazelle is waiting inside for you."

"Gazelle!?" Ron exclaimed as he followed suit, with Bob following his lead.

"Please excuse our intrusion" Edward said as he opened the door, leading the group inside.

Approaching her, Edward bowed and said, "It's an honor to meet you,".

"Indeed," Gazelle responded, surveying the group with a keen eye.

Madam Gazelle was a striking figure, with jet-black hair elegantly pinned up in a bun and bright green eyes that seemed to twinkle with intelligence. She wore a form-fitting red dress that hugged her curves, and her delicate features were accentuated by a subtle touch of makeup.

Bob couldn't help but think to himself, "Why do I always seem to meet such attractive women?"

"Are these the children that Raze spoke of?" Gazelle asked in her soft, yet commanding voice.

"Yes, ma'am," Edward confirmed.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to speak with these two alone," Gazelle said, gesturing for Edward and the others to leave the room.

"Of course," Edward said, leading the group back out the door.

Once alone with Ron and Bob, Gazelle turned her attention to Ron and asked, "Are you the child who helped Raze locate one of the runes?"

"Yes, ma'am," Ron answered.

Gazelle paused, looking at Ron intently, causing him to feel like she could see into his very soul.

"I guess you both know why you are here," Gazelle said, her voice calm and collected. "Are you aware that I was the one who ordered Raze to have you form a pact with the devil?"

"I suspected as much," Ron replied, feeling a sense of unease.

Gazelle continued, "I'll explain everything tomorrow. For now, why don't you and your friend take some rest?"

With a small clap of her hands, a maid named Elizabeth entered the room and approached Ron and Bob. "Please allow me to attend to your needs," Elizabeth said, offering a friendly smile. "If you need anything at all, just ask."

.

Both of them went outside the door and Elizabeth took both of them to the nearest room.

As they were walking Ron noticed a room that was left open. Inside it was a young girl, around eight years old, with jet black hair and bright hazel eyes. She looked up at Ron with a sense of curiosity then went back to what she was doing before.

"Oh, yea I already know who that is" said Ron as he continued following others.

"This is your room," said Elizabeth as she opened the door to a spacious and elegantly decorated bedroom.

"WOW, this is a bed?" exclaimed Bob as he jumped onto the bed the moment he saw it.

"Ah, so soft, ahh," he sighed in contentment.

Ron rolled his eyes at Bob's childish antics but couldn't deny the allure of the plush-looking bed. He too jumped onto the bed, sinking into the soft mattress.

"Ahh, so soft," he thought to himself. It been long since he was able to sleep in a proper bed.

"Call me if you need something" said Elizabeth as he closed the door.

"Hey gimme more space, gimmeee" said Bob.

"This goofy ahh kid" thought Ron.

The night wore on, Ron and Bob found themselves fighting for space on the bed.

After a few hours of fighting, Bob suddenly remembered something.

"Bro, couldn't we have asked for two bedrooms instead?" Bob asked.

"Ah, fuck" Ron cursed under his breath.
