#11 Abraham Hurairah

"Abraham Hurairah ! The name you will be using from now on." said the boss while pointing using her index finger at Cade so sudden.

Cade shocked, Nera confused, a bold decision has befall upon him. Without knowing why, without knowing how, Cade just arrived at the place they agree to meet and the boss blatantly shouting out that she want to change his name.

"Why ? Ah no, I am sorry if it's rude but I just want to know what's the reason." Cade panick.

"Yeah, why ? You imbecile little soldier, it is rude to change someone's name like that. Or should I call you, nutcracker soldier !" said Nera in angry tone hearing the boss word coming out from her mouth. Seems that she's still angry at her.

"Nera, behave ! You shouldn't call the boss like that."

Hearing Nera's criticism, Tania burst out her laugh like she was hearing a joke from a talented comedian in front of her rather than mad at her criticism. Her behavior reminds her very well to a girl the same like her in the past which is her own self at very young age. Flagrantly telling others what's on her mind whether it's good or not.

"That's fine, Cade. It is also my fault since I am the one who's being rude to you. In order to fix her mood since I treat her master badly, I apologize." said Tania while slightly bend her body at Nera. She put her hand at her left chest and apologize properly.

"It's.... fine." Nera blushed.

"Good girl." Tania straighten back her body.

"Boss, you shouldn't have to." deny Cade.

"Now now, where should I start, ah yes, Cade, don't you realize that you have a very different appearance unlike before the past five years." the boss explain.

Cade seems yet to realize how different is he since the past five years. Thus Majordome came and bring a mirror with him, a very coincidence yet not a coincidence at the same time. Majordome know what's his master need and simply bringing them before her. Immediately, Cade took the mirror he brought with him and observe clearly his face.

The truth lies before him, he can't deny it or so. He saw that his face is slightly different than the face he know since little. Some part of his face is slightly changed, like his ears turn quite pointy, an eyes shape which turn sharp, and his skin tone brightened. He never remember that his skin is this white since he join military. That part of him is the one he curious about.

Cade observe his face more carefully. But when he think about it, his face shifted not far from the original since he could remember who's face is this. Still, his face quite look alike with Nera's. Cool stuff need also need a cool owner, he think that he may agree with the boss decision to change his name since people also think that he might be dead because of the punishment befall on him in the past five years.

"But if my face is slightly shifted like this, how come the new landlord recognize me without mistaken about it ?" think Cade on his head.

"Don't play dumb on me, he's not that different. In fact, you still could recognize him since you enter our house without hesitation and chug down a tea in the dining room." deny Nera.

"Well, it is your job isn't it ?" Tania smile smugly.

"Technically, yes." Nera didn't deny the statement.

"Oii !" Cade shout.

"Now now, if she didn't want to explain it then let me be. The fact, when you entwine a contract with one of Servant of Light is making those children as your familiar. Like a family in general, kids inherit their parents gen and making them slightly similar like their parents. Knowledge, talent, or even fate of their parents like when your parents is bullying victim then your kids also has the chance to become a bullying victim.

Servant of Light is a manifestation of skilled witch from the past and also a product from their magic which create a human child born under the veil of the darkness. Now for their master is the one who release them from that veil which imprison them for a very long time. Also, in order to release their veil ones must fight and release that veil by force. After their master successfully release them from their veil, Servant of Light gave their master a present which to be granted ones wishes.

A knowledge about existence of Servant of Light is still vague. There's so many version of it and this is also my version about Servant of Light. Not much know about their existence and some of them even denying their existence. But one thing that we are agree for sure, Servant of Light may grant ones wishes without fail.

Witches are evil but Servant of Light weren't. This is the discrepancy I always think about since I was little. Servant of Light is a manifestation of skilled witch itself but the witch themselves is denied to live in this world. Don't you think it's a bit odd, also yes, even though I am a perfect soldier myself but I still doubting my own superior ideology. Because I am never think that I am a perfect soldier myself.

"That's a brief explanation of Servant of Light from me and also a whiff of my ideology and my knowledge. So you now understand, Cade ?" Tania then crossing her arms.

"If it goes without fail, then why. Why won't the wishes granted by now ? I see those peaceful days of mine but why it won't last long ? Is that supposed how it works ?" Cade contemplate.

"Yes it how it's work. But seems that your wishes is way more complex than you think. Normally, the wishes granted as how it is." answer Tania. "You must search the meaning of your wishes alone."

"The meaning of my wishes.... Peace."

Cade realize in his mind that he doesn't yet to know what kind of wishes he's made. What kind of peace is he desired all this time until he made up his mind that he want a peaceful life. So then he put down the mirror, looking at his surroundings where those people who support him are around. Including Nera, who've vowed to be always loyal to him and always beside him. Because both of them is inseparable and need each other.

"If I had everything from the start, why would I wishes for more ?"

"You wrong, Cade !" Nera speak. "It is not just you who need that wish. But I who also need it. I am freed because of you and you're freed also because of me. The power I bless you is a symbol that your wishes has been granted. You may choose what kind of peace you desire with those power."

After hearing Nera's speeches, Cade laugh slightly and shake his head. How could I didn't think about that earlier, he think. Can't believe that Nera is more mature than I am, he think. So then he raise his head and stare at Nera's eyes deeper.

"Once again, thank you, Nera. You always make me smile when I am full of worries."

"Better you be grateful because I am always by your side."

"Yes, I really am grateful."

Their mind has become one, Cade and Nera together staring at the boss eyes at once. In this small office of her, Tania is waiting for this moment to came and now she got what she want. But to be true, she didn't event expect their decision would come this fast.

"Boss, we accept to be your allies." said Cade accepting her wishes.

"But don't give us bore mission, nutcracker soldier. We agreed for world peace and not for an empty box of gold." continue Nera.

"Yes, I understand. With all of this, you may filling the paper I'll give you later as Abraham Hurairah and Gatto Nera. After that, you officially one of us again, Cade." the boss then walk and look outside of the window and cross her arms, "Though, I am not sure if the other member will accept both of you."

Tania Bloodtide known as a soldier who know no mercy when it come to her opponents and when choosing her liege. Nobody come easily to be in touch with her and cooperate to carry out the mission together. So then, it wouldn't be easy for Cade to get recognition from her arranged teams since he's the one who suddenly came out of nowhere and join the team as easy as turning a hand upside down.

Tania Bloodtide out of her office, followed by her right hand Majordome and both Cade and Nera. Majordome calling out her secretary, in the name of Tania Bloodtide, he order to gather all of her team member at once. Tania smiled, hoping that everything goes as she plan.

"Ready or not, Cade. You must toughen your mental. Cause twelve soldier in the team is also having their own Servant of Light."

Cade and Nera surprised, their eyes widened, they didn't expected to meet the other Servant of Light Masters this fast.

Then the moment of truth came, Tania Bloodtide opening the ballroom door and see what's inside. As expected, twelve Master of Servant of Light is already waiting inside. They sit in a peculiar way while waiting the boss to came. But as seen on the scene, the people who present here are the Masters. No sign of The Servant of Light to be around.

"My men, sorry for the wait and here I introduce you the new member of The Tower, Abraham Hurairah !" shout Tania Bloodtide.

The twelve master immediately intensely stare at Cade Valentine. Leaving a bad perception of the arrival of the new members. Cade toughen her mental, get ready to receive spicy criticism from the twelve masters of Servant of Light.
