Stefan Donovan is the son of Daniel Donovan. A fine gentleman who is currently off training in the mountains. Stefan is on the mountain with his master sitting on his knees.

His current teacher, an elder monk, is angry at his attitude and refuses to teach him.

"Today, I shall end my training". He tells his master.

"You have not even finished your training, how dare you decide to end the training without my permission?"

"You asked me to expand my knowledge, so I read and memorized hundreds of spell books. You asked me to train my mind, so I patiently sharpened hundreds of swords. However, you never taught me any kinds of spells. The only lessons I have learnt here is that you have no intentions to teach me spells at all, now that I have learnt a big lesson I'd love to end it and leave." 

"The leader of Pandora asked me to keep you here for three years" Stefan wasn't ready to listen to what the monk had to say, he wasn't the type that kept to rules. 

"I know you're building a sanctuary with the money paid to you in advance. I will not ask for a refund, so I hope it is successfully built." He stood up to leave.

"Where are you going, I didn't say you could leave" The monk was furious at Stefan and screamed at the top of his voice.

"Did this look like I was asking for your permission?"

Stefan isn’t deterred and definitely claims he’s going to find someone else to teach him instead.

    "Cressida are you okay?". Cressida, who was asleep, suddenly wakes up after hitting her head on a box close to where she was sleeping in the moving boat. It turns out Elena's soul was actually transferred into a blind girl called Cressida, who's currently receiving safe passage out of the area to another part of the town. Elena in Cressida's body sat up fondling her fingers and touched the bandage wrapped around her eyes, there and then she remembered throwing her magic crystal into a bucket of water while invoking the spirit of the waters and amidst the invocation she fall into a body of water and instead of the bar girl it was Cressida the blind girl with the bandage over her eyes she saw in the water.

 " Why did I have to enter a body like this one?"

Flashback to Cressida's life she often gets kicked off the road because she couldn't see.

"I am sure she was blind". The new body who is now Cressida slowly unveils the bandage from her eyes.

" But why is it that I can see now?" She said to herself. "Is it because I'm in a different soul? She didn't even have a blue mark showing I entered her body, this is so unusual."

 "Try and bear with the motion sickness, we are almost there, Cressida." One of the men sailing the boat told her.

 "Cressida?" Elena asked herself after hearing the name of the blind girl.

"She's the blind girl from the countryside who got sold off to the fortress." She suddenly remembered who Cressida was. The entire time Cressida was having an internal monologue conversation.

Miyoung got up on her feet and attempted to leave.

"Sit down, you will fall," one of the sailors told her. 

Feistily she said'' thanks for the journey, I would be leaving now. 

Unknown to the sailors Cressida jumped with her two hands on the deck of the wooden bridge but couldn't claim further she doesn’t seem to be blind but Elena in Cressida's body has also lost her powers as well.

Cressida screamed for help when she couldn't jump further up the bridge. She fell into the water when she couldn't hold on again, there she knew she had lost her strength while transforming.

"Why were you hanging from there when you cannot even see? "You could have gotten bad". Cressida's master was furious with her after helping her out of the water, he offered her a towel to dry up her body.

Cressida was covered in rags and given a walking stick.

" This is really bad, my strength is gone." Cressida said within her, dabbed her body, she held her fist and suddenly threw up.

"Is it motion sickness again?" "I'm so worried about how weak you have become" her master said tapping her back

"Weak?" "This body is unbelievably weak and unhealthy, I shouldn't switch bodies just yet. Let me stay as Cressida for now."

"I'm sorry, mister" She told her presumed master audibly.

"It's fine, It's because your body is weak. Let us fill ourselves up" Cressida simply nodded weakly. She wasn't willing to say much anymore.

Elena gets accustomed to becoming Cressida.

Elena as a Shadow Assassin is sensitive to the smell of blood, therefore she didn't eat animals that shed blood as humans but as Cressida she was forced to eat chicken and other animals at the restaurant and she loved it absolutely.

She starts to understand the world she’s tumbled into, as she finds herself outside the brothel with her supposed master all covered in rags and a blindfold with her walking stick. No one knew Cressida could see except her, Cressida was sold to the brothel mistress for a ransom.

"An old woman took her in after she lost both of her parents but she got sick and recently passed away, the debts she had due to her illness got passed down to her, which is why she's here to be sold off. I will be leaving now" Cressida held him by the hand when he intended to leave.

"You cannot sell off this poor soul to the brothel" she said to him.

 "I wish you well but… he quickly struggled out of her hold and went off hastily.

Miyoung was fuming in anger but she had no choice.

"I can't believe he fed me chicken to sell me off to this place"Cressida's fumes increase now, all the while talking inwardly." I will rip you into pieces once I regain my powers."

The brothel mistress walked down to where she was standing 

"You look way too skinny" Cressida is being cut out of her fumes by the brothel mistress.

"I wonder if you will become prettier if you become chubbier." Cressida turns to look at her pitifully.

"Just give up on me, getting chubbier will not make me prettier. I am useless and not suitable to work in a brothel, sell me off to somewhere else".

" You talk eloquently, I heard you sing well, I hope you sing as well as you talk." The brothel mistress went closer to scent her and held her nose in disgust.

    "You should wash first and doll yourself up". Cressida slowly let go of her stick and made a dance kind of move with the mistress' hand. She was surprised and scared at first but almost immediately cheered up and smiled. "So you can dance as well?"."Did it look like a dance?" Apparently, Cressida was obviously making one of her fight moves which the mistress didn't understand, but because it didn't hurt her she felt it was a dance move."If my moves contained power, your arm would have fallen right off." Cressida said inwardly, she was quickly snapped out of her assumptions when the mistress dragged her cheeks."I am older than you, so you should speak in honorifics and I hope you will also treat my customers with respect too." The mistress kept to her cheeks and shaked her as though to lay emphasis." You just wait, I will kill you too." Cressida wasn't comfortable with this threat and as usual she kept her ill speeches in her mind. "A lot of powerful people come to our brothel. T

Nothing, Trevor, I heard the Shadow Assassin uses Tansus."

Stefan sounded confident about this information."Tansus is the type of swordsmanship that only the best mages can learn, you flick energy with a blade just like you flick water.

    "Who were those guys? Did Salvatore send them here?". Cressida had found her way into the training center while the fight went on and hid comfortably under the table. Petrova Theodore was the next target and mission Salvatore had given her before her soul was transferred to Cressida. "Right! He must have sent them here to retrieve my body" Cressida attempted to run out of the table and made a sound while her body hit the table. "Who's there?" Morgan said after hearing the crack and sounds. Cressida ran the fastest she could out of the table and tried pacing her way around the center in a way to run out of it. Morgan chased her using her movements. In the middle of all this, Stefan, who had seen when she had left his province, catches up with her. Stefan drew her to a hiding place. When Morgan could no longer hear her footsteps, he retook his steps. "What are you doing here?" Cressida said, looking Stefan in the eyes.

So they broke the barrier." Petrova said."We will go after them" The senior mage attempts to make a move but Petrova insists it was too late into the night to do that." Only those of Pandora can break the barrier, there's a spy among us. We must ask the Martinez family for help" In the secret room where Elena's body was kept Trevor, Stefan, Morgan and Cressida deliberate over the missing body."Stefan, did you notice anything suspicious when you were hiding in Emerald Pandora?

    As the last wood slides locked Cressida thought to herself "I do not have the strength to break his gate of energy right now, he will catch wind of it if I stay here." Elena didn't want Stefan to know she had lost her powers after shifting souls with Cressida, she needed to do something fast so he didn't get a glimpse of this. " I need my sword," she said as a way to get herself out of the situation." I have become weak due to shifting of souls, I need my sword's energy to open your gate of energy. Without it, there's nothing I can do here. To retrieve my sword, I need to get out of here so stop the door." Stefan was quiet and the door kept closing up. Cressida's eyebrows raised in fuss as though to make a curved line on her face. "Did you not hear me?" She was upset with how calm he remained instead of making an attempt to stop the door."I can't do that, I need to wait until it fully closes first" Stefan said finally."You liar, you lied to me didn't you?"

Seeing you all together makes me happy." Old Reyes body language screamed excitement that the nobles were represented at the gathering." We used to gather often, but it's our first time after Stefan and Katherina called off their wedding" Trevor is often weird and said jokingly. Everyone went quiet for a while but of course with a killer look from Petrova." I have told them to prepare tea in the reception room." Morgan said, saving the moment. "Please come." Petrova offered as he and Old Reyes said, leaving the Four Seasons behind."You were here as well?" Lady Katherina asked just as Stefan was about to leave. " I heard you were kicked

    "Do not worry, he will not punish him for too long." Morgan said to Cressida. "He almost died of a cold after he was punished all night long one day. Stefan's gate of energy is open just enough to keep him alive, so extreme cold or heat can be life-threatening. He cannot recover if he falls ill." Trevor pointed out. "Then open his gate of energy for him. He desperately wants it, you both are his friends." Cressida said as though to cry on his behalf. "We are still too weak to do that. But, no one in Pandora, no one in Elysian is allowed to do that. Morgan replied also pitifully for him. " Then he is already being punished for his entire lifetime." Cressida was lost of words at their point. Cressida took pity on him for the very first time realizing he’s already repenting enough through not being able to cast spells. While Stefan remained on punishment the entire night, Cressida came in again into the Hall when Morgan and Trevor had retired to bed to serve him hot tea. " You are a

To her surprise, it had a different look."Cressida. There are tons of things to eat and even the bathtub is very nice." Stefan stood placing one of his arms on his waist and the other on the center pillar of the house made with wood. This place was nothing compared to what Cressida had told him before now. "Master, you had yourself a pretty nice place. Did you have to scare your pupil like this? You are one weird…" He turns around to where the wooden bed was made. "There's even a blanket. This is so soft, it is nice and comfy." He sat on the bed and kept touching it.Cressida said absolutely nothing the whole time, she kept wandering around the room suspiciously"They are not mine.

I am truly impressed." Petrova has never complimented Stefan in his entire life. Stefan couldn't believe his ears."I felt like my body was on fire. Then it felt like I was covered in ice."
