"So let me get this straight." Eshya's pointed finger shifted between Bava and Garu. "You two became close during the Finalists Selection Rounds, so…. two years of friendship?" She watched the two men nod at her before she turned her gaze to the other two. "And you guys have known yourselves for how long?"“Five years, Priestess.” Cassandra also nodded at Eshya.It has been an odd morning for the holy star symbol. She had been quite embarrassed when she realized she had fallen asleep in the holy warriors' quarters; she hadn't realized the heaviness weighing on her body after she woke up a few days ago without proper recuperation. Though she kept quiet about it, she had very little experience in dealing with the great toll making a portal had on her body. She had been ignoring her exhaustion since Etanai's desperate call back then had somehow forced her to create one, which was soon followed by a blessing of light to relieve Etanai of those white clouds. The horrible meeting with the T

"Have you all gone insane?!" Gambit paced back and forth before the four holy warriors who were now detained in a different cell. He pointed at Cassandra. "You attacked the security head I assigned to keep that boy's power in check." He then waved his finger between the other three. "And you idiots didn't even bear enough sense to stop her and instead joined her. Now you've also rendered her team temporarily unfit for duty." Bava couldn’t help the angry expression on his pretty face. “How could you do something so humiliating to him?” Gambit halted his pacing to glare daggers at the usually tamed young man. “Are you questioning your superior’s actions right now?” He was slightly surprised Bava, along with the other three, didn’t show a bit of guilt at that, and he allowed himself some sympathetic reasoning. “Do you even know what that sprinkler does to him?” “It looked like it hurt like hell.” Garu grounded out in fury. “The dude was left thrashing on the ground, and that woman look

“What were you and Ricky to each other?”Chad’s arms came up to cover his eyes as tears began streaming out.Cassandra’s eyes widened with sudden realization. She hated she was just figuring out now what should have easily guessed. “Lovers. You and Ricky were lovers, weren’t you?”Garu and Bava's mood chilled out as the truth became clear with the tall man's stiff head nod; things were starting to make sense. The messy surroundings became somewhat still before Chad spoke.“That bastard! That fucking arrogant bastard! He should have known better than to interfere with Etanai and those Zeal-leachers fight. For all we knew, that could have been a test of its own making. But no! He had to get himself killed.” He slowly rose into a sitting position and he steadily calmed down from his sobbing. “I couldn’t allow his corpse to be forever tainted with the disgrace.”“So you lied and framed an already unfortunate man?” Bava’s usually gentle face held fury. “That man was an ordinary civilian. P

“Wait! Can he see or hear us?!”Etanai suddenly raised his hand and intense whips of blue lightning blasted against the nearest wall. “Who are you?!”Lightning cracked off the tips of Etanai's fingers, his eyes darting around the cell as he sought out answers to what was going on. Two presences had set off his sixth sense, and yet, no figure could be seen."Meadow, I think he can hear us."“Shut up, Shall! There’s no way…”Etanai's ears followed the sound to the wall opposite the one he had blasted and he released another trail of lightning that sent the concrete wall flying everywhere in splattered rocks. "Star blast!" He had never felt a looming sense of danger as he did at this moment. He felt a false sensation of pins down his back; these two presences reeked with fearsome auras. “Ha! Told ya, Meadow!” The first voice – a squeaky yet masculine tone – let out.It was then Etanai picked up on a movement. He dissipated the lightning whips and rushed to activate the switch function o

“What did you see?” Elder Tobias picked up the cup of tea before him with shaky hands and he took a sip while his eyes darted between the expecting faces of Elder Niola and Gambit. "It's the same vision as last time; those figures on the ground, screaming in agony. They still lay helpless before me." He put down the cup as the warmth from the herbal concoction seeped through his body. "An insistent vision becomes an imminent one." “It’s seems that way.” Elder Niola glanced out the large windows. “The issue now is deciphering the vision right and properly preparing as much as we can for it.” Gambit had his head down in deep thought for a while before looking back up. "Could it have something to do with the stolen cargo we were discussing?" He found the pillars' gazes on him. "I'm aware Pillars sometimes have visions that are triggered by a conversation. What if the incident at Kalion forest is tied to this?" “In what way would that be though?” Elder Niola’s gaze returned to the room
