Fear
(-March 1, 2061/ 2:13 Pm/ Current location: The market street of Trauzagaien-)
Anna stands up with the help of Mordred.
[Anna: Thanks for the help.]
He gives back the stolen necklace.
Anna wears it again.
[Mordred: Why is your necklace always the target for thieves.]
[John: I think I know why. That necklace probably has magical properties embedded into it. Thieves here wouldn't just steal randomly. ]
[Anna: Just what was my mother doing before she gave me this?]
[Mordred: Do you remember her name?]
[Anna: I don't remember her full name but I do remember her first name.]
[John: That is?]
[Anna: Mary.]
John looks away and puts his hand to his mouth.
That can't be, right? He didn't have a child with him. We can't say for sure but I will look into this if I have some time.
[Mordred: Mary? That is a pretty basic name.]
[Anna: Don't degrade my mother's name. It's all I remember. ]
[Mordred: Sorry. In other related topics, who adopted you?]
[Anna: The Pagan Household.]
Mordred asks a question to John
[Mordred: Is the Pagan family well known in this country?]
[John: The Pagan family? I never heard of them but what I do know is that she's very lucky to be adopted by a noble of this country.]
[Anna: You surprised me, Mordred. You left without saying anything and left me alone.]
[Mordred: Well what did you want to happen?]
[Anna: You could have at least told me or given me something before leaving the Orphanage. You made me worried.]
[Mordred: You are not living in a Korean drama so get your head out of the clouds. In what way would I give you something when I don't have any money? Plus my pocket is still empty.]
[Anna: Mordred, you're too materialistic. You don't need money for a remembrance.]
[Mordred: What, like a handmade accessory or food.]
[Anna: I don't know, you tell me.]
A man with glasses wearing a suit and tie runs up to Anna with tears in his eyes.
[????: Anna!]
[Anna: Sir Alfred!]
The man was young and has a very pure attitude. Under that suit has a decent body build, contradicting his unscathed face.
Alfred said this to Anna while panting like a dog.
[Alfred: Lady Anna. Please don't run off again. It's really hard finding you in this crowd.]
[Anna: Sorry about that. I smelled some food that pulled my body to it. The aroma is amazing and it sounded crunchy when people ate it.]
[Mordred: Is he your bodyguard?]
[Anna: Yes, I take it that he is your bodyguard?]
[Mordred: No, he is my teacher.]
[Anna: Hmmm. I almost thought he was until I saw his body. It's pretty big, and bulky and won't fit through tight spots.]
[John: Is that an insult or a compliment?]
[Anna: Whatever floats your boat. Oh and Mordred.]
[Mordred: What?]
[Anna: See you in school.]
[Mordred: Yeah. I'll see you at school.]
Anna walks away. She calls Alfred.
[Anna: Let's go, Alfred.]
She leaves with elegance and grace. He sees a few of her feminine wiles under that serious attitude.
[John: Wanna continue exploring Trauzagaien?]
[Mordred: Who said I won't?]
We continued the day with just having fun until the end of the day. We never bought anything but we ate food and played at the arcade.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(-6:22 Pm/ Current location: Market Hillside-)
After a few hours of having fun, Anastasia meeting Glacies and Charles being left alone in his office room with paperwork, The dew of the morning sun vanishes into the night. The streets lights turn on and the market is still lively.
Life in Trauzagaien is very high quality in every way. The country has more opportunities than America and the country's officials are even willing to help you out.
The people are polite and fun to socialize with. Every product is sold at low prices since vendors outsourced their products below.
No one knew what was happening under the Sky city. Who could blame them? It's the perfect place.
[John: We should get back. The sunset.]
[Mordred: I bet Father Charles is worried that we left without saying anything.]
[John: Yep.]
Both of us went back to the mansion.
As soon as we reached the gate, we saw Anastasia fully drunk and being carried by Glacies.
[John: Who are you?]
Glacies speaks with her frigid voice.
[Glacies: I'm just a friend of hers. Don't worry, she just got drunk-]
She sees Mordred as if Her fear has incarnated into a real being. Glacies loses her grip and drops the drunken Anastasia.
Anastasia's back head hit the ground first, causing her to feel slight pain.
[Anastasia: Ow!]
She got woken up by it and opened her eyes to catch sight of Glacies full of fear in her expression.
Mordred looks at Anastasia with worry
[Mordred: Are you okay Teacher Anastasia?]
She responded while under the influence of alcohol.
[Anastasia: I'm okay.]
She directs her eyes to Glacies.
[Anastasia: How about you? Are you okay?]
Glacies looks back at Anastasia with the clear look of fear on her skin.
She asked while trying to avoid eye contact with Mordred.
[Glacies: What Kind Of Homunculus Is This!? It Has Both Light And Dark Attributes!]
[Anastasia: Calm Down!]
John is confused and trying to understand the situation.
While Mordred is trying to hide his feelings.
[Mordred: What do you mean by Homunculus?]
What she saw were two forces that control life, death, creation, and destruction. Normally they repel each other but what she caught a glimpse of are scrambled magical energy and poorly arranged magic flow.
What she fears is not what is in him but what could happen if it were to lose control.
[Glacies: You need to take him far away from this place! He Might Lose Control Of His Magical Energy And Destroy The Entire Sky City!]
Mordred reaches his hand to Glacies.
[Mordred: Hey are you okay?]
Glacies sees his hand getting close to her. She screams with all her might.
[Anastasia: {Altum Somnum}]
She became unconscious after Anastasia's magic spell.
[Anastasia: Looks like I'm the one taking her back.]
[Mordred: Is it true?]
As he said with curiosity and concern.
[Anastasia: What's true?]
[Mordred: What she said. I'm an Homunculus.]
[Anastasia: Let's talk about this tomorrow.]
