“So, let me straighten this out, once you've completed your goal, then, you two decided to pay a visit to your family and you two did not realize that time passed until late so you decided to stay the night. Right?” Stephie said as she sipped her tea.
“Yes, that's it,” Lucas replied casually.
“Hmm ~” she hummed as she narrowed her eyes into slits.
‘Oh shit, he's near me. “Lucas thought as he tried to keep his face straight.
“We've finished breakfast and you've heard our story, now how about we go back to the academy. Besides me and Lucas still need to collect our points to complete the request,” Elea said as she put some money on the table before leaving.
“I agree, we need that extra point,” Lucas agrees while praising his best friend for his reasons.
When Lucas paid enough for it and Stephie charged his eyes wandering into the pile of dishes across the table before darting towards Stephie's little figure.
“Where did all that food go?” thought before leaving with Stephie.
Two rounds of sand then they arrived at the academy and saw a petite-eared fox waiting for them near the gate.
As he looked at them, he walked closer to them with a bright warm smile, but somehow that smile seemed to promise a bit of pain as well.
In the past month Lucas has seen this movement three times and one of those was aimed at him. Although this gesture made her look cute, it was definitely not something good.
“Only wander around the city,” Shrug, Lucas said as calmly as possible.
“Really? Is it really all?” Luna asked, her tone turning slightly cold as her eyes narrowed.
“Yes, I think we've had breakfast without you, sorry about that, anyway we'll be late to our morning class if we don't go now.”
After saying that, Lucas tried to walk past the little fox before he suddenly felt a sense of weightlessness and his world needed a hundred and eighty degrees then a wave of pain as he fell to the ground.
“It was to lie to me,” Luna said as she clapped her hands to clean it up.
Lucas could only laugh dryly before losing his consciousness.
‘I leave the rest to you, partner. ‘

Darkness. .just darkness, everywhere and everything.
That's what I woke up.
I tried to move my body, but I couldn't feel it. I tried to look back, but there was nothing I could change.
“Halo? Is anyone there?” I tried calling, but all of those answers were my echoes.
Here, in this empty and deserted space, I was alone. That realization brought a sense of loneliness into my heart before I let it go and threw it into my mind.
“Hei ... Hey ..!” A small, chaotic voice came out from somewhere.
“Hey, can you hear me? I'm here!” The voice called out once more, this time a little clearer.
I wanted to know where or who the voice was but I did not know if it would be safe to interact with him, in the end I only hesitated for a moment.
“Um .. Is there anyone out there? Can you turn on the lights, it's a little dark here.”
“…”
“…”
“Pfft .. ahahaha no, I can't, I can't find the switch, what if you can find it? ”
Hearing laughter from the other side formed a smile on my face.
“Well, I can't find one either, can't even find the bulb! Can you help me?”
“*Snirk*You realize your jokes aren't really funny right?”
“Yes I know, but I have to hear you laugh right? Smiling face, winking face.”
“Ahahaha did you really say that out loud? I just woke up in an unknown place and the first person I met was a third-rate comedian.”
“Just wake up?”
“Hm? Oh, you hear me mumble? Yeah, I just woke up here. How about you?”
“I'm actually the same, oh yeah my name is Vayne, what's your name?”
“Vayne .. It sounds like a cool name, my name ..” DEWA ANUBIS"

Somewhere in the upper world, a starlight chapel.
As the name implies, the chapel is made with a black stone-like material with a glowing crystal-like pebble embedded within it six pillars and a ceiling.
All around him, there was nothing to see except endless space and distant stars. Although if one looked closely, there were several transparent stone slabs on one side of the chapel leading to a portal that was barely visible.
Inside the chapel was nothing but a small fountain in the middle. Right now a woman was staring into it with a sad face.
“I'm sorry son, but now it's time for the two of you to meet.” He whispered before he turned around and left the place.
