The Last Whiteblood's

Faesas..

Arion and Eden ran down the stairs. They were both very hasty, especially Arion.

Back to Faesa.

He was still entangled by the magic chain that the mysterious man had smashed. The man was not wearing a robe, he was wearing a wide black cameja, plus a sword hanging from his back and his red hair was neatly combed back.

His big eyes narrowed with a smile to Faesa.

"From the Demi-Human I met, you were the sweetest" He looked at Faesa's physique. "Ah, fox yes. Hm.."

The man seemed to think while stroking his chin. "If you were to be made Cremon would be a pity, how about you come with me?"

"Come with you? Hmh! Don't be stupid" Faesa replied, rudely. He kept trying to get out of the chain.

"You sure? If you come with me, Mr. Sava will be very happy"

Faesa's eyes widened, he had not expected to hear that name again.

"Uncle Sava? You knew her?"

"Sure, he is my Master. Under his guidance I can be like this now"

"Where is he?"

"Don't tell me, you have to agree to come with me"

"What's in it for me?" Faesa kept trying to confuse the man's attention so that he could escape the bond with the fire on his tail that was burning the chain.

"You will be benefited in many ways, for example, recognized and respected by many people"

The attempt to break away from the chain stopped. Faesa became silent looking at the man.

Arion and Eden ran down the corridor. They arrived at Faesa's room. Arion was about to open it, but the door was locked.

"Get aside" Eden got ready, then kicked the door wide open.

"Phaesa!" arion.

"Damn it" Eden stared coldly at the man.

The man stood up and turned around, but he kept staring at Faesa. "May you think about it carefully" he plunged down from there.

Eden caught up with him, he jumped out of that window. Arion was busy to untie the chains from Faesa's body.

"You okay?" arion asked as he held onto both of Faesa's shoulders.

"Y-yes, I. It's okay" Faesa pensively looked back at the window.

***

In the morning, Serva announced to close the show. The entire audience became disappointed and poured out a protest to Serva.

Serva was helped by other elders trying to calm the audience by compensating for their disappointment. From the second floor, Arion and Faesa saw it all.

"Midorian made a desperate move" Faesa said.

"Yes, I agree" replied Arion.

Arion slightly lowered his head, he recalled the incident last night. "Faesa, about last night"

"Only last night, what was that man talking to you about?" Eden appeared behind them, with a dried up slash wound on his forehead.

"What happened to you?" ask Arion.

Faesa frowned and did not dare to stare at the floor. "It's nothing, okay? He's trying to-"

"I don't hesitate to beat you up right now if I don't want to be honest" Eden stressed.

"That's enough, stop it" Arion immediately interceded. Arion and Eden both stared at Faesa.

"He tried to make me a Cremon or something, but he tried to offer me something, but..." Faesa stopped talking.

"However?" ask Eden.

Faesa bit his lower lip. "But you guys came, I didn't have time to hear his offer" she held tightly to her skirt.

Eden took out her dagger and pointed it at Faesa. "I hope you're honest, I'll hunt the man down until I get it" he put his dagger back in his back pocket.

Frimeya looked at the three of them from his chair. He became curious and asked permission to leave.

"Taking care of one Demi-Human is already troublesome" Eden was about to step away.

"Are you really blaming"

"I don't blame anyone. I made this move so that the Demi-Human race would not be ostracized in the future"

Eden went from there. Faesa turned around, clutching the second-floor barrier in front of him.

"Faesa.." call Arion, slow down.

Faesa took a deep breath. "I want to get some fresh air first" he stepped away from Arion.

"Arion?" Frimeya just arrived. Arion turned to look at the girl.

"Miss Frimeya, why are you here?" arion asked, astonished and shocked.

"I saw you guys, is there a problem here?"

"Nona really ended this show, yes" Arion said, changing the topic.

"Yes" Frimeya nodded. "I'm planning to add more knowledge before I really have to get married"

"Good, science is important. I heard Miss Archer is great, my friend Luke would love to meet you. Luke is one of the most talented Archers in the academy"

"really? Looks like meeting fellow Archer will be quite interesting" Frimeya smiled.

From the first floor, Trimetra saw the two of them chatting on the second floor. His hand clasped tightly to the sword he was holding, he was furious at Arion.

"Young Master, it's time to go home"

"Yes" Trimetra replied coldly, staring at the two of them.

***

Eden was sitting in a bar at night. His forehead was bandaged and he only needed to calm himself.

He snorted softly and removed his drink from his sight.

"Why is it. I'm more suspicious of Faesa?"

A bartender put two posters on the wall. The ignorant Eden was interested to see the poster the servant had pinned.

"What?" His eyes widened and his mouth slightly gaping.

The two posters feature the faces of Mender and Brian, both of whom are Eden's real uncles.

"Brian?!"

Elsewhere, in the forest, Faesa stepped alone, accompanied by a fire torch she was holding. His other hand held a piece of paper that looked like a map.

After spending hours, he finally found the place he was looking for. It's an ancient monument that has been left behind. The state of the monument is already filled with moss, the walls are cracked and made a nest by wild animals.

"Sacred Turn." he said slowly.

He chanted the spell to dissipate the dark energy inside the monument. After nothing happened inside, he stepped in slowly.

"Fire Release - Fire Ghost"

Dozens of small ghostly flames burst out from Faesa's arms, explaining the path to Faesa.

The girl again walked following the directions of the map. After stepping inside, he found an empty room with a floor that had been flooded. The walls of the room were filled with ancient and intricate reliefs.

"Who's there?" Faesa heard the sound of footsteps from the darkness.

He stared hard at it. Suddenly, a dagger appeared one centimeter in front of his neck. Faesa froze speechless, unable to move.

"Bare you here too"

The hoarse voice of a man came from behind Faesa. Now the arm holding the dagger appeared, with pale white skin. The other arm was coiled under Faesa's neck.

"You're tough enough, Faesa. You are the kind of girl I'm looking for" said the man.

His pale face appeared from behind Faesa.

"Stop, Yora, don't bother him"

A middle-aged man emerged from the darkness. He wears a black uniform, skinned, snake-eyed and has no nose. It also has long hair tied up.

Yora releases Faesa. The man walked over to the fox girl.

"Have not seen each other in a long time, Faesa. Last time we met when you were a kid"

"Uncle Sava, I'm here to ask you for help. Make me your disciple, I want to become stronger" Faesa said.

"Oooh. I get it. Come in, we'll talk about this inside" Sava smiled obliquely, he stepped back inside, followed by Faesa and Yora.

They walked through a dark hallway before reaching a room filled with neatly arranged wooden chairs. There was a chandelier illuminated by fire magic. In the corner of the room was a giant snake statue.

"What's your reason for being strong?" ask Sava.

"I don't want to continue under others and want to be acknowledged" Faesa replied, coldly.

"I could have made you stronger but I doubt your resolve"

"I'll do anything" Faesa replied.

"Well, you proved it" said Sava. He plucked his finger, black smoke appeared in their midst. There was a lion's head with sheep's horns.

"Oh, swear and be one of us, that way I will make you a student and I will give you a high position" said Sava.

Faesa touched the lion's head. "With this, I, Faesa Foxia, vow to obey the words of my leader and become his loyal subordinate"

Not long after, Faesa's backs displayed the symbol of a lamb-horned lion encircled by a wire rope. In this way, he legitimately became one of them.

"Welcome to Ethinos. Faesa, you're officially a member. You can erase all your past memories and leave your destiny to us"

"Well, Mr. Sava" Faesa bowed respectfully.

"I'm sorry, Arion, Daendra, everyone" Faesa said.
