Retreating footsteps made Leon heave a sigh before he rest his back on the wall of the house. He didn't notice the people that were looking at him and he doesn't really care. The door opens and the people that were looking at Leon disperse and went to the person that entered. "Are you alright chief? Did the guard harmed you or anything? Are you really alright?"

This mineral, Mithril is the one that had been specifically use by people like us. Because this mineral is their staple need to fuel the watch that they love so much.

Leon immediately felt that the blood in his vein doubled and his aura spread that almost suffocated everyone. "Are you happy because you have two and leave this one because he is not strong enough to endure the process of coming out of the world? How cruel you are?" But instead to feel sorry, Amaris showed her aura as well and glared at her father. "We are never been a warm kind father.
