The setting place was rural but not far to the city.

 

    Tick-tock, tick-tack, and tick from above a tower and tweeters — chirp, chirp, chirp — of birds in this environment. Rustling trees is dancing by the frequent wind blow, and few of the fallen leaves are revolving, sloping, and floating onto the air.

    Shimmery of rays of the morning sun signifies for a brighter new day however not for everyone.  

    Students are walking on the sidewalk — nearby the long yard’s iron-fence — heading into their school, named Karin High School Branch, the place where everything began.
    School bell cries, ringing. Whereas student has…

    Wow!

    So busy at the non-projected hologram, it’s rendering on nearby their front while they’re walking.

    The busy students are in-and-out at the Third-year Shoe Locker Room. Inside and among the crowd, Endrw is walking, wearing the proud uniform of his Alma mater.
 
 
    You want his image? For his upper is a briefly transparent white polo that have a seal outside its pocket, nearby the chest. Beneath-it is a plain white t-shirt in tuck-in. And for the lower is a dandelion slacks whereas its waist is firmly tied by a shiny black belt.

    The seal is symbolizing the pledge of the student to, and the morality and dignity of, the school. He has the green, representing for being a third year; yellow for second year and red for first year.

    His looks were fairly yet eyes are haggard besides his messy hair perhaps uncombed. His eyes are brown and his nose is moderately shape. He stood possibly nearest at five feet and eight inches.

    He sits into the floor edge and places the sheathed wooden sword near his buttock. He unties and detaches the shoes as the white socks that he inserts in. And he stood — picking-up his sword and carries the shoes — and walks straight into a filed locker boxes.
    His sword is settling slanting from the ground and to someone's locker door. The locker that he opened is the fourth one from above the ground.
    He took out the sleepers in exchange for those shoes that he putting in. So suddenly, he felt a chill running onto his spine, his arms’ hair stood-and-cold, and mind perceives of incoming storm. He’s startled as he closes the locker door resulting to drop the card-key that should be to his slacks pocket.
    He picks it and wares the sleepers. When he stood, towards the right, a girl waves her hand at him.
    "Hey, Endrw, morning" she greeted; subsequently, she smiles.

    You want her image? Without make-up, her skin is originally a snow-white (actually pale), her lips are light red, her beautiful black eyes are moderate in shape, and her nose is pair nicely to her face. She's good-looking on her bangs that are level to her thick black eyebrows and slanting below to her ears. She also has straight tail-hairs between her cheeks and ears. The rest of her hair behind her head is tied-rounded lock by an intersecting pair of sticks.
    (Oh my, girl is!) She was wearing a plain white formal blouse in a string-tie tied like ribbon under its cloth's collar. The blouse has few green big buttons having a color identical to their educational level.
    She is also wearing a uniform skirt — having hard green, light green and pure white in checkered — its length is above her knees. Other females student wearing the same skirt but different color set like; hard yellow, light yellow and pure white are second year whereas hard red, light red and pure white are first-year.
    She wears no accessories rather she has those shining nails on her showy fingers as she leans its tip to her chin, proving that she love either maybe a habit manicuring her nails.

    He shook and recoiled, as he found Arisa standing before him.
    "You're like that... On me?" she asked. Her thumb and index finger kissing her lips whereas her other palm is supporting her elbow. "Oh, I see, so you're tense to girls." She glimpses at his sword and focuses to that scabbard, curious about its design having a hilted handle.
    She wonders… she becomes smart like and beautiful for the (man’s) eyes to see.
    "No, no, no, no," Endrw replied. Scratching his hair, eyes is close and a worrying smile, he's grimacing. "I treat you… different to others, you know?"

    She grips him below the collar as she draws him near, face to face while saying loudly, "What do you mean? Huh?" This attracts the attention of the busy students around the area. Other students doing their own stuff are secretly listening whereas others keeps passing by, staring back at them.

    Hands are upped, leveled below his eyebrows as sweats emit and some are sliding down on his forehead, wanting to pat her shoulders. “Holy sh*t, calm down please refrain already, don't make a fuss," Endrw begged, and swings his palm sideward. “Look!"
    Arisa, who took glimpse, realizes that the attention of the people around is un-divertingly staring back at them.
    "Look at those couple quarreling, so sweet," chattered by a she to her female friend as Arisa's face blushes, "Yet why so early in this morning?"
    "Yep!" replied by her friend, "They're shameless.”
    Arising Arisa’s negative temper, Endrw nags, "You heard it?" staring at her face, attracted by her beauty. Yet, without further ado, she punches his face. By her right fist that hit exactly on his left cheek, she sent his body winding and landed to a distance.
    Everybody who witness are stun by surprise. Continued looking at, without noticing that, they became spectators instead, amused from what they saw.

    Gradually, regain conscious, Endrw mumbles, "Ouch! Sh*t… That was strong, what’s with her?"
    Arisa is pointing her finger at him, saying loudly and clearly, "Head to the faculty room! My brother is waiting for you! Also you must carry my things to my house, and don't ever forget it! Ask my brother about it! And, don't, ever, show, yourself, on me, again!"

    Everyone is utterly silence, except to somebody that murmurs sneakily against them. Those who managed to gain or purposely wanted to take a view, eyed at her until she exits the room.

    "She's scary" somebody said.

    "So scary…"

    "Yeah, very scary…"

    Mutter by the students follows.

    "You’re worst!" he bubbled — again and again — minimizing his voice, caressing his cheek by his first to third fingers, it's protruding in slightly red and deep to outwards slightly purple, and only he notice it was huge. When he stood, everybody who saw his swollen cheek, felt like laughing instead of courtesy or either pity.
    Continually laughing vulgarly whereas other shading their mouth by their hand. Others are trying to refrain from laughing by their palm leaning on their mouth and arm pressed on their waists. Some are also spoiled, orienting their finger while mockery and vulgarly laughing at him.   
    "That was pretty big! Put yellow on it! Ops, no offense" said by someone, and the laughs continue followed by everyone.
    Filled of embarrassment he shouts, "Shut up! All of you!" Useless, people are spoiled.
    He walks and picked-up his sheathed wooden sword as he continues and exits that locker room filled by students burst on laughter. After that, it became a ruckus around the campus.

 

2: Intro 002, Memories 002

 

    Among the host of brown sparrows, chirping joyfully while soaring onto the air. One bird flew away from its company, later on it descended and landed above the horizontal not-so-narrowed metallic pipe connected on the cylindrical columns.

    Below of that two-inches-diameter metallic pipe is a three feet plain cemented wall, bordering the small garden and the clubroom.

    The bird jumps and chirps, "Tweet-tweet." Each glance it followed by a chirp, and jumps turning around, examines?

    A rushing waves accompanied by a whooshing hiss suddenly pass through, forcefully pushing the struggling bird. Not long, it carried by the heavy flow. It flew down, after regaining control, it flies away.

    Then, a brief moment, a slight and faintly wiping-like sound came from footwork followed that barely rubs the floor, echoing faintly inside the clubroom.     Suddenly, a thundering blast from something that collided is producing massive waves that exit the veranda.

    "Outside! Counter three versus two — KO! Winner was yellow — Lea Tirrisa! Loser was red — George!" the captain yelled. He’s sitting on a chair accompanied by a few people wearing on the same suit with a logo of two swords, clashing in the middle, behind their jacket.

    The suit is actually their club uniform. It’s a green jacket and paired by green sweat pants containing white lanes from the waists down the hems; Yellow set uniform for second-year and red for first year.

    He’s pressing and wiping the unprojected hologram computer screen toward his front by his fingers, checking and updating something, while his left fist and elbow is propped between his chin and thigh.

    Towards the center, around the wide open area are three people standing, wearing on the same sleeveless plain white T-shirt. From the left was an exhausted male wearing a red sweat pants, welding those twin barely slant curving wooden swords. His T-shirt is fully wet on sweats, panting tiredly as he rubs his wrist to his chin.

    The female on the right is barely tired wearing on the same pants in color of yellow. She doesn't have weapon aside from her protectors that she had on her wrists.

    "Before finishing the fight or either still able to breathe, fighting an opponent that uses different arts, complimenting him by bowing are enough but, fighting an opponent on the same art?" loudly spoken by the man standing on the middle. He’s wearing in green pants. His wrists are hanging on the wooden sword which he laid horizontally above his nape.

    Both opposing contestant facing each other sits down above their own calves with their own knees sticking together. They place both fists above the thighs near their knees; of course the male placed down his wooden swords already before he does. They both bow in a slant and say, "Thank you for the fight!"

    After that, they stood up and turn away. The male pick-up his swords and they exit that area.

    The female was approached by two girls she look alike from the group wearing yellow pants, whereas the male just sat down on the floor, very tiring, near to his fellow first-year. Not even a person did approach him but, he receives a thumbs-up and smile instead, came from his fellow level as he accepts it as compliment since fighting the ace candidate are difficult.

    Panting and breathing, as well as movements, including the captain who remain sitting beside the third-years group and the assistant coach standing in the middle alone in that squared ring, are the only sounds that are freely roaming and resounding inside that room, excluding the birds chirping the outside.

    "Next contender, opposing pairs are Drumps Castove and Eule Sejol" announced by the captain.

 

3: Intro 003, Memories 003

 

    Glancing into the outside without any further reason, staring at the students, whose are doing their club activities, who's joyfully showering waters into their experimented plants — were in-between the drainage dike and the Students Club Building walls.

    Some students also were freely walking above the drainage water surface too, for picking-out wastes under the water.

    Endrw continues walking, close at the veranda, along with the students, walking in the bridge. His face upset a little, thinking about the nurse that refused to take care of his swollen cheek.

    Talking about it:

    "Sorry sorry, for me, it’s impossible to banish someone's affection, you know?" she said calmly and direct, while waving her hand at Endrw, after she took an eye contact at him when he opened the door.
    "I haven't said anything yet! And f*ck! How does its related!" he yelled.
    "I'm a girl and your caretaker too, you know? That's why I understood it."
    "Hiss," Endrew exclaimed, "Well, any further conversation with you will bring us nowhere so I'm out!"
    Hastily, she yells, "Wait, your mother left a voice mail for you!" Bang! The door replied — leaving her inside, hearing.
    "Who cares!" He asked as he was walking away.
    She felt down, gripping her hair above her head, as she slid it down. She laid her both forearms above the table and her foreheads onto her wrists. She cried caused by her fragile heart that utterly overreacted or easily affected and vulnerable to emotion.

    A screen hologram without projected slowly appeared to her right with an image of a woman moving inside.
    "What made you to call? And, why you're crying?" The woman asked curiously. The nurse lifted her head, facing the monitor with a crybaby face. "Stop that! You’re not cute.”
    "I know that! But, he'd change much you know? He didn't even want to hear you" she cried.
    "Hmm, you have point," she replied thoughtfully, "But — he just started to devote and be himself, you know?" She mimicked her. "You don't want that? — He shows different emotion unlike on the past.
    “I kind of sad, seeing him isolated from the others — always thinking about his father, and only following my orders, but seeing him now, my feelings are lightened.”
    "Sister…" she whispered.

    The screen started to disarray, it extracted to particles changing into different colors. Slowly and slowly forming to something, slowly and slowly creating a figure of a female human with an appearance the same as on the screen, it smiles.

    "Sister…" the nurse mumbled, eyes refrain from pouring tears, having a flabbergasted face, she continued embracing the sweetness of relief. It hugged her, patting and caressing her head.
    "Don't make him as your problem anymore, instead, just watch and guide him as he mature. But, take care of yourself too, don't make me worry about you, move forward and find your happiness too. Also, you really made me mad if you're like that."
    "Yeah… Sister, sorry..."
    "I love you."
    "I love you too, you know…"

    Then the woman disappears as the particles begun fainting. "Anyway, I’ll continue watching at him if I do have free time, so, no worries. I'm off to work, later" she added.

    Before he exits at the covered bridge, he enters on the third floor of Student Club Building. Endrw felt someone is watching at him. When he looks around, he saw a female student pocketing both hands on her green skirt, staring at him. She is standing at the opposite exit on the bridge, the third floor Third-year Building.

    When a student passed through and distracted his focus, a moment when he took a sight, the girl is nowhere to be found. He paid it no mind and heads straight to the club instead.

 

4: Intro 004, Memories 004

    Endrw enters to a room with a label outside above at the door-frame, written: Paladin Sword Play Club Room.

    Previous members of the said club votes for conducting a serious tournament match as a practice matches in their old days. The majority wins and the minority was force to participate.
    Contestant members who participated found it amusing and they fondly held it weekly. Every generation continued this kind of activity as a token of gratitude to their fellow ex-members.
    The club isn’t meant for sword only, but the ways of the melee fights. Focus, instinct, gamble, knowledge, confident and pride revolves inside the heart of the club members.

    Endrw stood near behind at the triplet sisters, watching the battling pair fighting inside the squared ring.

    Both opposing pair is singled sword user. Fast without effects or either special techniques. They understood in mind and agreed in eyes fighting with the use of normal abilities. Fast and fierce, foot-works and sliders, side steps and fake strikes, clashing and parrying, both exchanging, accepting and denying a strike.

    When Sejol cornered Castove near at the border lane, he blocks Castove’s feet, and the prepared strike from above he executed to knockdown Castove outside the ring field.

    Unexpectedly, Castove hopes didn't banish as he rides on the flow. He released his sword as he divert and focus his control around his body balance. Along with the incoming strike of his opponent, he manages to capture the opponent wrist using his bare hand. By his other hand, he grasped the upper arm of Sejol and throws Sejol outside the ring field before he touch the outfield.

    "KO! Red regain two points, the scoreboard was now tied to two!" announced by the captain, and Castove was impressive to tied-up the score.

    The score procedure was:
            If the opponent whole body was sent on the outfield,
        the round winner gain a knockdown valued by two.
            If the opponent just touched the outfield, the round
        winner gain one point.
            If both opposing contestant sent either touch the outfield,
        owner of the excessive points are counted otherwise
        it will be a draw with a point zero.
            The overall winning score was total of three.
            If the ended round still no winner and a person(s) was sent or
        touched the outfield, additional round must be conducted.

    The fight was splendid applauded by the spectators.

    A slap from a hand spanked to his head. "Shit! That’s hurt, why did you do that?" Endrw opposed while patting his head, finding-out it was a tall man on a green jacket who did it.

    It’s their vice captain, they called him Vice as respect. He was standing beside his brother lately, the captain; they called him Capt as respect. Also it caught the attention of the triplets, listening and staring at them.

    Unlike his brother who was a black man, stand at five feet and two inches with a wide and solid body, with an adult like face, and had short hair. The Vice was barely slender with an attractive appearance in a color of whitish skin. He stood around six feet and one inch tall, with a handsome face and narrow eyes. His hair was short with horizontal spiky bangs.

    Both brothers are good nature thought they are friendly excluding the height and colors.

    The Vice smiles standing beside him. "No reason, don't mind it. I'm just confirming the ruckus" he said. The triplets simultaneously laugh. Annoyed and irritated, Endrw glare at them, scarily. The next ace replies with a smile in attractively. The other two waves their hands with fingers in a peace sign at him.

    Endrw pat the ace candidate’s head and whispers near her ear, "I won’t fall for that" he said in a mischievous smile. The girl was in poker face.

   "So, what's the news?" the Vice asked.

    Meanwhile the fighting contestants were distracted due to listening.

    "I'm his disciple now," Endrw replied. It surprises everyone, lighten and happy; they continue listening while watching the fight that becomes dull. "In condition, he asked me to fulfill two unknown responsibilities and follow any assignments he may be given to me."

    "Don't you want that? You're able to master the arts more than we could understand?"

    "I know!" he yelled facing at the vice. "But how can I freeload on their home while he seriously saying," Then he impersonates his teacher strangely, "Then sleep with Arisa to night. How I'm supposed to sleep beside that hot-tempered friend of mine!" he complained and reacted, blushes on his face.

    Hearing and listening to him acts like that, everyone who caught the view laughs, others smile, except the Vice and the Capt who are just surprise.

    "Don't you want that? Hitting two birds with one stone?" The Vice stated.
    "Huh, shut up!"
    "Or perhaps it’s kind of self discipline?" he thoughtfully said and Endrw took it seriously, as if he had a point. "Or your carefully hiding the fact that both of you are in relationship." he continued, facing at Endrw who instantly react. Endrw eyes gotten circle big and lips presse each   other that he proudly proving while raising his right middle finger, expressing, we're not!

    A blast from laughter burst inside the clubroom, from the members who saw him in a total weird expression, trying to refrain and regain control on their own emotion.

    The Vice was face palm, covering his face facing the other side while his forearm laying below his chest above the stomach, minimizing and restraining while his body is shaking up. On the same time the battle inside the squared ring was utterly distracted by the commotions.

    "Indeed, it’s hard to understand her, you know?" he said, without holding back while caressing his cheek. "So please, don't blurt some random things. I can’t picture myself to-" suddenly, he felts a killing intent from behind and when he took a look, speaking of the devil, he found Arisa with a frightful smile, carrying his sword.

    "To what?" she asked, disappointed. Both the vice and Endrw was terrified, they turn away and stares at the fighters inside at the ring who forgotten to act about their battles. "Don't ignore me!" She said.

    "No, we-we're just talking no-nonsense" he replied, twittered and poker face. "Right? Right… vice?"

    "Huh, don't involve me, I'm just listening at you" he chained, washing hands and Endrw felt like rejected.

    Arisa drops the sword. She clings on Endrw's back with her armpits above his shoulders and upper arms around his neck, with her hands are holding both her elbows, while sticking her face on Endrw's left cheek. "I know everything you spouted," She whispers, "since I was looking for you using GPS, precisely I heard all from the start until I came here. Seriously don't ever scorn me on my back, huh?" she threatened totally disappointed along with a death message.

    Endrw swallowed shooking-head, blushes and nosebleeds. He looks below at the left opposite on the chick face. "I-I understood," he said while knuckling the blood above his lips using the joints of his index finger. "But man, so this is youth," he said while sneezing the attracting fragrance came from the chick's hair and enjoying the pleasant feeling he felt from something that pressing on his back. "That breast of yours it becomes big and delicious, isn't it?" he purely said.

    "The f*ck*, did I heard!" reacted by the Vice, shocked as well as the others.

    Arisa turns red, confused on her feelings. Without thinking, on a sudden, she pushed Endrw's towards to inside the squared ring.

    The players who continue their battle and begun to strike was distracted once again, trying to restrains or diverting their attack while Endrw is looking for ways to evade.

    Endrw do foot works while turning around to speculate ways to evade, unfortunately that was a splendid hit he got, that made him laid spread on the floor. The first one was hit on his lower back and the second one was a clean hit to his face directly to his nose root.

    "Ops… Sorry…" apologized by Castove. Yet, Sejol scratches his hairs, laughed on worried.

    The members can’t resist from the amusement but Arisa was anger from what she thought she's humiliated. She rushes to Endrw, grabbing him with her right hand below his polo's collar again. With her tears plunges from her eye, "Hey!" Endrw spouted. Positioning him since she is left handed. The contestant gawks undivertedly staring at her as she punch Endrw exactly to the right cheek that sent him knocked to the wall, silencing the people around the clubroom, breath-taking. She pants as she pants, not from tired but from what she felt.

    Then, in a brief moment, everybody around jump and yelling of joy, shouting and shouted, "Yahoo! yehey! Someone's managed to hit the ace! Yehey!" etc, it was tears of joy for the members who witness the scene but, Arisa wonders while Endrw regain conscious.

    The captain stood. "Three KO vs one! Winner the victim defeated the maniac!" The Capt yelled rising his hand to the person that he stated.

    "Hey, I'm the victim here wasn’t it?" Endrw protested that cause the members to burst on laughter staring at his swollen cheeks.

    Along with the laughter Arisa loses her temper with the triplets who compliments her, she smiles.

    The Vice goes near at Endrw. "Forgive her already" he said. "Look at our member faces, let them be for now because this kind of atmosphere will made you stronger someday." Endrw stood staring at Arisa's beautiful face, smiling surrounded by the triplet sisters; he understood the Vice.

    The Capt goes nears and asked, "So how's her breast?" As he cling his arm around on Endrw's neck. Endrw blushes and stares below the lefts with a thumbs-up on his right hand that he shows to the Capt. "You really are a maniac."

    "Shut up…"

    Then it begins to blurry, faraway far away. Circling and circling until it faintly disappear to the darkness blended with weird colors; dark violets, dark brown, and any other dark luminous color, dizzying him.

 

5: Ch001 001, Present 001

    It so dark! Everything is dark. Nothing to hear, it’s absolutely deafening. Too much silent; revolving slowly drawn-like moving towards to the middle of single point.

    The view is wavering.

    Many shapes are scattering. Everywhere apparently created by luminous dark colors that mixes to each other. Some colors are glowing until it disappear and reappear. Others was streaming and bouncing inside each shapes, as if they have different characteristic. Some shapes wiggle and wobble upside-down with an unbalance expansion and compression. Some of it chases wherever he sight.

    Then, everything he thought runs very slow.

    Where am I? What the heck is this place? What’s happening here? I can’t remember being sent here.

    Ah, yeah. I can recognize this place.

    I can’t open my eyes.

    I guess it just dark.

    What the heck. I can’t touch my body. I can't touch a thing.

    Hel... He meant hello. S***! I can’t hear my voice. Did I open my mouth?

    Where I really am?

    A moment later after thinking, he emoted.

    My god, this place was-wasn't... that bad.

    It’s awful.

    Is there anybody around! Assuming he shouted, but not even one replied, even his own voice doesn’t even reach him.

    Well, this felt like, meditating when I'm around the vagueness.

    Alone again, blinded. S***, why I'm still stretching myself? Felt like I'm expecting about remaining hope.

    I don't feel breathing, moving, only thoughts. Perhaps I'm a soul? Perhaps I'm dead? And this was my, punishment.

    My punishment for, for... He can’t cry.

    Why I can’t touch a thing; hears, sees, smells. Only, maybe I'm not dead yet? Perhaps…

    S***! I'm losing my resolves again! It’s an oath man! Don't chase hope! It won’t glimpse… anymore!

    All I can remember... He felt something is piercing somewhere around.

    Ouch! It’s hurt. I can’t… Breathe...

    Ah-F***! Do I still alive? I hate this, being alone, melancholic, solitary.

    I hate this, I wanted to die, I want to die, s***, b*****t! He can’t cry.

    God! Please, please help me. Pity me. Expose me even a sign if I'm dead.

    I just wanted to die. I want to confirm I died. F*** you hope!

    Don't disturb me... anymore. Don't mourn on me; don't shine on me again, please…

    I'm sick on struggling anymore. Please, accept my resignation on living.

    He felt wanting to cry.
 
    A figure of female face appears unclear, more than unclear. Formatted by luminous dark green and dark blue — unsteady, unsteady — as he hears she laughs. Assuming he heard her. Then, a sudden streaming of light appears approximately blinding him that he can’t even resist. At the aftermath, everything entirely disappears, without a trace, around the void.

 

6: Ch001 002, Present 002

    Above the huge tower called Stronghold Prison, standing alone in the middle of a solid surface of a hot field around the great canyon. Towering about two-hundred and twenty-eight feet above the ground, with a cylindrical body measured moreover one-hundred and twenty two metric diameter, with a huge fortified fortress on the underground.

    A man from the sky came down leaving a sonic boom in the clouds by his rapid acceleration of speed. He hovers above the airfield of the rooftop with an instant brake. His surrounding flows with a waves that lasting on a seconds before he safety landed.

    His long hairs is rearing below the neck, it settled when he stood. He is a handsome with serious blue eyes. He has few short hairs on the chin that he proudly shows. From his shoulders to his rear cloaked by an unzipped plain white long jacket coated until to his knees.
    His gesture was a bit weird, pocketing both hands on his black jeans pants as he walks like a thug. Under that jacket, his wearing unbutton and un-tack long sleeve formal polo, visualizing his muscled thorax and belly.

    The most uncanny thing is the massive pressures around him, that made the guards struggle when they’re suddenly appearing, bowing from the both side of the lane as he approaches, giving him a path from the middle that leads to the entrance of the said tower.

    It was the guards practice to give welcoming entrance to every visitor, commoner or not, since they treat all kind of people equal as they are.

    One of the guards that unaffected by the pressure escorts him, "Sir, what can we do for you?"

    "I'm visiting a level four prisoner here," he replied. Four screens are appearing towards him, he dragged all in one slide, submitting to his escort. "This was my approval from the Second, Sixth, Tenth and Eleventh Pillars" he continued.

    The escort kneel down and bow with a hand on the chest, after he took a glimpse at one of the four screen saying, "Forgive my rudeness and disregard for haven't recognizing you First Pillar Sir. Ruenso Ordiel. You can fire either suspend me as punishment and apology."

    The man in jacket stopped and gazed at the guard in escort, he found it interesting. "Well, I can figure you're a girl, right?" he asked, is it instinct? How can he ask like that? The escort stares at him and eventually he/she (?) Face at the other side, a sign of bulls-eye. "Stop disguising already, pretending like a man the outcome is the same" he continued, and now it became a gentle scold.

    "No! It just..."

    "Nope, denial is unaccepted. Admit it as punishment, if you wanted too" he said, and then he resumes walking. "Hiding gender will result nothing or opposite to what you'd been expecting no matter what circumstances you have, if you haven't realized it. Okay if you're an assassin but disguising just to gain either to be respected or to protect self identity it makes me laugh," the escort constrained to listen. "You’re strong, perhaps weak if you done or created impressive things as long as you don't disgrace yourself, either stepping someone's privacy, you can be proudly respected, and it implied to boys too if you understood."

    "Sir, I'm not your subordinate to be scolded!" yelled by the escort, also your stepping my privacy right? She thought.

    "But, I'm a guardian of the earth, it’s included in my tasked too. I'm telling you, don't hide your nature, and be proud of it" he replied while a sweet came slide down from his temple, riding at the flow, slip to his intent on teasing her.

    "Sorry" replied by the escort, blushes, attract at the elegant man. How did he found out? I'm a flat-chested so he must not figure out. Huh he must be, just acting cool… Well I'm still sweet twenties. She thought but madly irritate at the exposed identity.

    The First Pillar rise and wave a hand, "Never mind it anymore, just lead me to where my son is" he said, guilty. The escort stood, and run, acts girlish as she approached until she reaches him, walking beside him as they enter at the entrance with dim lights inside.

    The other guards inline disarrays and gathers as they took a deep breath and exhale, then murmurs.

    "So there was a female one of us, huh?"

    "And she is our Chief Warden too."

    "Even it’s only one girl, not bad!"

    "Yeah and I respect her bravery on this hellish and sh**ty place too."

    "Yeah, right…"

 

7: Ch001 003, Present 003

    Stronghold Prison was obligated to shut down or jailed a corresponding criminal with the criminal’s corresponding descriptive appellation level. It was promoted since the beginning of the new era. A titled level two or three are jailed above the ground whereas a titled level from four or more are detached to the hellish underground fortress, where hopes can't ever glimpse.

    As they walk throughout the hallway, the automatic lights turn on and off. It lit when something passes through and off if it leaves inside the censored area.

    The lights around at the hallway crossings, on the elbow or curving corridors, and on the outside of each of the room near at the door, remains on steadily.

    As they approach to a door, it suddenly opens separated from the middle. Elevating one part shrink above and the other part shrink below, leveling at the edge of the door-frame.

    They enter and found agents busy operating on the screens that always appearing and disappearing in each of their corners; typing, sliding, processing, answering calls, and doing things that involves their own work.

    "Hey, why we’re here?" The First Pillar asked. "I said to my son's cell right?"

    "Oh, don't be impatient sir Ordeal" the guard on escort said, she smiles.

    "Wow, your acting more like a woman now" He said while he fondly bending her cheek, flattering her as she blushes. I'm not a child! That’s what she thought, "I wonder if my wife can act like this" he continued.

    "Huh? How many?"

    "One only..."

    "Boring" she mumbled, disappointed, with her mouth puffing airs, and cheeks swelling-out and shrinking-in, back and forth.

    They notice a guy approaching at them, and when that guy arrived. "Chief, who is this guy?" that guy asked.

    "He's First Pillar sir Ruenso Ordeal" replied the escort. Instantly without further any question he kneels down, acknowledging The First Pillar with his hand at the chest and then bows.

    "Whatever," The First Pillar opposed, he was really against that practice, but he can't complain anymore since it became a culture. "I just informing you that my time here is limited, can you already lead me to my son is?"

    "Can't do that sir" replied by the man. "That place was restricted to all beings except, if it was allowed by our chiefs jurisdiction abide by the law, so I can’t."

    "Nope, he got an approval already" the escort said, showing a thin and cute card. "Card data access!" after she spoken it, a screen appears. She drag and slide until it became four, then she flips everything and shown it to the guy.

    The man shook his head after he gazed, he ends the arguments "Okay, anyway call me Jakub” he said.

    “I acknowledge” replied by The First Pillar.

    “Then come, follow me" Jakub said.

    They continue walking heading to the elevator that will lead them to the underground area but Jakub notices something changes on their Chief Warden. "Chief your acting strange… frankly are you gay?" he asked.

    "What? No! I'm a girl."

    "Wee," he hissed, opposing in believing, "impossible."

    "Want to touch?"

    "I don't want too" he replied, thinking it’s a trap, thinking that the chief was a gay.

    "Want to see?"

    "Can I?"

    "Want to die?" she asked with a demonic smile.

    Jakub shut up, scared, with his perspective saying, what did I done?

 

8: Ch001 004, Present 004

    While the elevator that they were in, heading down, Jakub command his assistant to visualize the situation of the prisoner to the visiting father. The assistant obeyed. He operates those monitor screens appearing around his front corner. Various light particles gather to where they are, it unites and begun replicating the prison cell, apparently illuminated by the bright white lights came from the ceiling.

    The First Pillar stares at his son as he tightly shutters his fist, shaken. Blaming his self but accepting the fact that every event the outcome is unexpected. Nobody knows what lies ahead, on every tick of second that won’t ever comeback, only recalling the past.

    His views and visions to life cant associated to anybodies perspective, since everybody had their own aim and instinct. There are possibilities it might change affected by anything if they let it be, like a tragedy played by everybody. His hope that perhaps, always believing that there still a heaven right there, that won’t turn a blind eye on his prayer, as he always asked a blessing to this last chance he may given to his son.

    His son is confined on that small room, sitting on the floor near at the prisoner's bed, with legs laid spread and back supported by the wall. His pale and skinny hands hung above the thighs near his groin, with handcuffs locked around his wrists.

    Each of this handcuffs had chains linked to a wall, it also connected to a switch that when it pressed-on, a shock will restrain the prisoner from rampage, fought back, and escape.

    Around his forearm is a tube connected to a bag with a strange liquid, perhaps he undergoes in dextrose therapy. His been confined there more than halves a month without awakening.

    He is sitting there unmovable, not even a person once ever moves him, even lifting his finger. Only they’d success piercing on his skin with the utmost strength but limited to his bone surface.

    His vain are showy with a color blended on his very paled, thinned and cold skin. His messy, long, thick, and dried hair cover the lights came from the ceiling, as his head is facing down. Around his chin and his mouth nearby grows with few hairs. His eyes are blind-like staring to the nothingness. Staring? Staring, with his life, soul, a dream or nightmare, to an event revolving nonstop as he always remember. No! It’s marked to his heart and mind, unable to overcome and escape on the emotion caused by his conscience that heavily pressured him. Always staring at the memories that he can’t be forgotten, keeps repeating all over again, to the blurry images that blinding him, and paralyzing him, entangled himself and jailing himself.

 

9: Ch001 005, The Trigger 001

    Fast, he rushes very fast, as he disappears and reappears around ten meters per dash. Always glancing at the monitor on his left while he keeps looking beyond at his front. By his excellent evasive and reflex avoiding the obstacle inside that forest with his flashy speed was just a mere child-play for him.

    He leaped up and lands over to a tree branch. A second on observing the surrounding, he jumped down and lands at the ground. He sprinted as he dashed continue until he escapes from that forest of wilderness. But he is distracted.

    He utterly braked and stood noticing that lies ahead is a huge and a wide grassland were each blades stood more than the height of him.

    Beep-beep, he glare at the monitor, the GPS navigator keeps telling him his destination.

    He jumped up and climbs to a tree. Then he stood over to a branch, glancing and speculating for another path. He thought about cutting the grass but he can’t since he knows it’s a crime by some law, so he jumped down and continues moving again.

    When his eyes gain sighted to a man standing near to a person kneeling on the ground, he taps something at the monitor, “Master, are you alright?” he asked throughout telecommunication.

    The kneeling person was is tied by a newly forge chain, still burning restraining him from moving. He is unconscious.

    Endrw got no reply.

    He rushes as worried he is, heading with his flashy speed, unexpectedly he bump to something he unable to see. He’s been bounce back, outbalance. By his limited flexibility and dexterous move, he stabs the ground with his sword and settled standing. He sheathes his sword while starring at the front, realizing that it was a rapid wind that prevents him from approaching. Why? He thought, staring at the man with an extended arm and fingers pointing back at him.

    The man stares at Endrw with a sad smile. Is it for pity? Is it for goodbye? Or is it because of pain either sorrow? Either way Endrw didn't understand it.

    “How’s Arisa?” he asked via telecommunication.

    Sadly, Endrw froze a little. His mouth was started to petrified, paled and cold. Lowering his eyelid he stares at the ground. Avoiding on facing the man, his head faces down. He closes his eye, hatred to his own self while clinching the hilted-handle of the scabbard. He resists crying instead he took a deep-breath. Before he shut his mouth, his teeth gnash. He keeps rubbing his arm back and forth around his eyes. He turnout to be crying, minimizing athe sound just snorting while his body is shaking-up, trying to restrain on overreacting with his fragile heart the same at his aunt.

    “I see,” he got another replied. “Well, then since I don’t have much time anymore, and before this parasite infiltrate to every part of my body” Endrw doesn't heard him clearly.

    The man loosens his arm. The wind that prevents Endrw from approaching disappears. He stares at the sky. “Man, I can no longer see the beauty of this world anymore. I can’t even continue my aimed dream also” he said, very sad.

    As Endrw refrain from his emotion, he wipes his face with his palm slid down, and rubs his eyes with the joint of his wrist. He listens as the man continued speaking, “I wanted to reach that land, I wanted to journey and explore that other side. It’s my biggest dream man” the man continued, but Endrw didn't even understand a thing about what that person was saying.

    Their surrounding became windy, as the man just smile, gazing at the sky. Recalling everything that he'd been precious and things that he hadn't done.

    Just by a moment, the winds started to gather and it became heavy. It’s rotating around them with an incrementing speed. Enclosing those three on the inside separating from the outside.

    The people involve at the raid located over a half miles away was distracted by the occurring bad weather, while they still busy purging their enemies.

    “Is it going to rain?” Said by somebody, others felt a bad perception.

    The heavy wind drags even the clouds. It whirls like a hurricane as the clouds started to gray, covering the sunlight.

    Lightning blinking as it travels inside the clouds, followed by thundering in response.

    Endrw who’s curious about the event, amaze instead but worried about his teacher who he called a Master. “Master Explain this?” he yelled at the monitor.

    The severe winds that rotate around them burst in multiple of its own speed as increment. It started to deform recreating on something until it settled to a half spherical shape covering them. They can't be seen from the outside. Their connection linked to the satellite and the atmosphere was entirely severed.

    “I'm no longer I after this few moments so, before it happen” spoken by the man. He rise his hand pointing at Endrw, various particles appears on his surroundings as it slowly moves, gathering around to where Endrw is standing, and each of it faint and disappear.

    “Every data I have so far was already on your hand, you can take a glance on it if you wanted too. Just say my full name. Anyway you’re the only one I allowed so-” he continued.

    “Master, explain this!” he yelled again. “You've just captured that criminal right? So tell me what's going on.”

    The man held a card. “Card Data Access,” he said, as in response the card glows with white light. “Atmospheric Data Access,” he continued, and his surrounding covers with orange lights. “Forbidden Weaponry, Pandora's Box, target location x, y, z, zero Lock-in.” Then an illuminated orange box appears leaving Endrw in the outside.

    Out of thoughts Endrw rushes as he dashes, he gather something from his blade, absorbing the pressure around from their surrounding that merges at the sharp edge of his blade.

    And when he approaches near that huge orange box and swing his sword. “Stop that!” he cried out loudly. He moves just by his instinct, staring at the man who he acknowledge, bowed, idealizes, and respect.

    F*ck this sh*t! First my friend, and now, you suddenly blurting something that I can’t even comprehend. Are you crazy going to die? If you do; what about me? I admire you when I'm still a child. I want to become like you, to stand mightily inside that tournament ring. Please don't do things that I can't even comprehend. Everything accelerated on his mind, a second before he tap his sword at the luminous orange box. On the same time, the man smile, a sad smile, as he flips the card.

    Silent deafening around the place, the spherical wind shrunk a little, then it starts to grow, expanding widely tearing the ground and thunders massively.

    Then, vast particle from the middle of the spherical sphere shoot and pierces the sky. The clouds started to disappear. The wave pressure travels miles away, passing over to where the raid member is.

    After the disastrous event that devastated the ground. Endrw lift his head gazing at the sky, emptied eyes, leaving him alone in the middle of big hollow area seems like a chasm, naked.

 

10: Ch001 006, The Trigger 002

    First, my very best friend that I failed to protect, her condition is worst. Now, I came here for avenging. I came here for nothing, seeing you already chained that criminal, but why? You just suddenly disappeared blurting something that I can't comprehend! I can't always understand you. It's been like this by the time I became your disciple. I hate this, it was my fault. I failed the quest you entrusted me. Can I be able to live like this? Felt like I’ll regret allowing myself associating with all of you. It's better if I haven't met you... Answer me, master?

    Everything he thought blurred to his eyes, shoulder to his heart, and paralyze to his body. He doesn't have defect physically but, fatally wounded inside of his emotion or maybe mentally. He is idled staring at the sky.

    A female from nowhere appears instantly. She examines the surrounding looking for something. Worried but her eyes doesn't show a thing. Her gaze is very sharp, her face is beautiful but with a cleverly silent expression. She is wearing a casual blouse paired with blue fitted jeans with a fabulous design on the hem. She’s still attractive with her developing chest.

    She goes near to Endrw undistracted with his current appearance. After she knocked her knuckles once to Endrw's thorax, “Where is my brother?” she asked.

    Endrw didn't reply, instead it echoes repeatedly on his sanity. He continues staring at the sky being hallucinated. Where is my brother? Arisa asked, worried about her brother as she appears imaginary on his vision.

    The female was annoyed as she waited un-responded. She jumped and punched him heavily on his face, knocking him down at the ground.

    “Arg!” he got hurt and regains conscious. The female went near at him as she squats above his thorax. One of her elbow she laid to her knee, while her other hand she slaps it lightly to Endrw's cheeks, side by side, back and forth, again and again.

    “Hey! Hey are you awake? I'm asking you where is my brother, where is he? Hey, hey, hey!” she's enjoying it, trying to give life to his current state.

    Endrw's eyes began producing tears, blinking, clearing his eyes sight. The moment he realizes, it’s Shelanie whom slapping his face, asking about her brother.

    Endrw grab her hand and asks, “Who do you asking for, the one in chain?”

    “No!” she replied. “I going to tell you the truth since Arisa still unconscious and in great pain because of her wound, I hope she live longer.”

    Endrw is hurt, but his a kind of person powerless on every statement, criticize, comment, scolding, advice and other unrefined manners of conduct that throws to him or either involving him. He just keeps catching it, and let it flows out to his other ear, but already affected inside his feelings. That is why he became tyro typical in terms of knowledge and can't win on arguments.

    “Arisa was abducted by my mother in exchange of me, when were still infant” shelanie explained. “I still don't know the reason but Arisa's mother letting me know about it, but keeping me silent, all everything from the start.”

    Endrw didn't hear anything except, only Arisa's name. All others that she spouted reach to his ear but unable to penetrate to his unfocused mind, busy on thinking, and blaming his own self, can't accept the fact in failing one of his master request.

    “So where is Arjhone?” she asked.

    Endrw glared at her when he heard her spoken his master name. “What do you need with master?” he asked.

    “Did I just told you, His my brother?” she replied.

    “Of course I didn’t” he said. Of course he didn't because his deafen by his anguish.

    “Just tell me, where is my brother?” She asked again, loudly.

    “Hiss” he gust as he surrendered, “Just do whatever you want” he replied facing on the left. He doesn’t felt talking. He just shows his swords with the previous sharp edge of it are now dull, other parts of it shred into pieces, and a large part of it before the tip is melted.

    “I can't believe it, did you have a fight inside that orb?” she asked. She thought it just exploded there that tore his cloth to ashes. “Don't mock my brother!” she yelled as she stood angrily. “You proclaimed that you beat him” She misapprehends him, either way, Endrw didn't argue. Its' better this way, express by his smiled. “I saw him fight, his excellent, his world apart from you. You’re just a mere disciple, a failed student of him. Come on, stand-up! Fight me! I’ll let you realize how weak you are, stand-up! Fight me! You scared?” The last word she mocked.

     Endrw had enough listening at her. He took a deep breath and accepts the fact he's one failed of a disciple. He only wanted to do what he had aimed. Who cares about the other details? He just wanted to fight and stood strong the same with his ideal person. Looking back at the past, he was a mere child staring at the broad screen around the city. Staring at the proudly young contestant standing on the middle of the Olympics battle ring, cheered, bowed and applauded by the huge number of various people spectating the international event. It was his master.

    “Shelanie look?” Endrw asked while pointing his own fingers with his extended arm straight at the top of a mountain. Other members of the raid who already reached the place stare at them doing arguments. Some females of the said member were distracted by Endrw appearance. The rest stare to where Endrw is pointed. Shelanie wonders what he meant to show.

    As Endrw swing down his finger pointing somewhere around the foot of the mountain, the ground started to shaken. The mountain begun cracking from the top of it looks like it was trying to separate its own body. The raid members are started to panic, gradually shocked, whereas Shelanie is utterly shocked. After that, Endrw divided the mountain into two leaving a cliff in the middle.

    “Your brother taught me a moody technique, and this what happen when I'm psychologically pressured” he badly said, he smile, and started to faint until he lost conscious, dead tired.

 

11: Ch001 007, The Trigger 003

    He barely opens his eyes. Sticky dry tears are blurring his view. He rises for the meantime he rubs his index fingers outwards to his eyelids. He settled sitting and when his eyes gain a nice sight, he wonder where he is. There are two guards standing beside each side of the door. He thinks he’s detained, but why?

    As he attempts to take-off the blanket, another person surprised him. He found Shelanie tiredly sleeping. She’s sleeping setting on a chair with her arms and head are lying above that blanket near beside him. He cares her face lured by her beauty, he smile.

    After that, he thought staring at the ceiling, he inhales and exhales as he faces down. He really wanted to ask the guards but he can't open his mouth to shout. No! His dumb, no mode to speak. He even wanted to rise and take a walk but his legs are numbed. His idle dumbfounded for something that he uncertain.
 
    By the time Shelanie lifts her eyelids, she gradually awakening. She settled erect stretching her arms and body, moaning. After she shut her mouth, she found Endrw clipping his nose. Both persons froze. Then she rashly jump while Endrw begun to panic. Actually she hugs him around above his waist.

    “Endrw that was pretty mean” she said. Endrw was astonished on her sudden change of impression. “But I'm sorry. Please forgive me. It was my entire fault” she continued with her expression worried.

    It opens his mind and that he remembers everything that happens. “It's fine. All was my fault. I couldn't verify his whereabouts and the events occurring around them. I doubt his alive or not” he said. The person he meant was his master.

    “You mean Arjhone is alive?” Shelanie asked. She sat, she hold his shoulders with her hands. Her eyes are wet in tears. Her cheeks are in red.

    “As I said, I can't explain it” Endrw replied.
 
    “So, anyway that wasn’t what I meant too” she said staring at the window, avoiding an eye contact at him. Tears flown from her eye, crying without humming, she’d turnout to be strong on her feelings but still affected.

    “Huh?” Endrw wondered.

    “A sudden hearing will eventually held,” she said, “after the hour you awake.”

    “Why?" he asked, resolving an oath. I mustn’t think anymore. I shall gather my focus in shallow understanding to everything. If I do this people around me won't go dying. Forgive me master. I can't trust this power anymore. It can't protect people. It’s a cursed. Everything he implants to his mind.

    “The clan confiscated me as a sole witness against you” she said.

    “And”

    “Everything was my fault. Only if I haven't taunted you and accused you” she cried. “The TD recorded everything that happens before the hurricane and after the disastrous explosion” she meant Technology Department. “But the clan misapprehends it. The audio of the recorded scene before the hurricane was unstable, so they misapprehend it!”

    “Let them be” Endrw replied. “It’s totally fine.” And he smile. Shelanie was curious why he hasn’t affected. She attempt to stand but Endrw hold her hand. “Can you hug me for a moment?” he asked.

    The girl blushes, she thought for a moment… She hugs him. After that, she stood and walks heading straight to the door while wiping her tears. She stops, saying, “Are you really fine with that?” she asked, upset.

    “Yes, I do.” he replied.

    Shelanie upset about it. Just by hearing from him saying like that, all the effort of her waiting at him to awake for comforting him she thought was wasted. “Che!” she felt really displeased. She goes near the door. “Guards, let me out now” she said, and the guards open the door. “Endrw everything I’ll spout around the court cannot guaranty that you’re not guilty, but — I hope it could set you free, so please don't lose hope.” Then she rushes out.

    Lost hope my ass. He thought staring at the ceiling. He falls with his head down the pillow with his arms lied spread on the bedding. He closes his eye. I wish to disappear, he thought.
   

12: Ch001 008, The Trigger 004

 

    As the guards escort Endrw entering the Pillar’s Court, the sole court where Pillars usually commence meeting. He wonders, confuse in his feeling. Is he exited? Or is he nervous? He feels cold, a little tense. But when they entered the Pillar’s Court the first thing he did was lift his head. And what he found? Shocking, amazed, staring at the beautiful giant flower light that made him idle. Each petal composed of series of light bulbs that floats below and in the center of half-spherical ceiling, seems like the source of light illuminating inside the court. He’s confused once again, he felt forgotten something important.

    The guards notice him and one of them asked Endrw, “Is there anything wrong?” Endrw didn’t reply instead his stared at the guard, he’s surprised but his expression never did. The guard was annoyed. “Hey! Answer me if there’s anything wrong. Don’t just stared like I’m suspicious”

    “You seem like one” Endrw answered. He smiles and his eye close gently while his hand slowly draws to the guard’s cheek. The guard attempt to resist but Endrw’s hand did reach and bent his cheek. “You’re cute that your outfit unmatched your beauty” he said. The guard was shocked, the same time blushes while the other guards started to laugh hesitantly, other guards wanted to vomit.

    “You… you… are you a… Gay?” the guard asked in a tense manner.

    Then Endrw goes near at the guard as their faces very near. He caresses the guard’s chin while the guard forgot to resists. The other guards started to mocked, some acting to vomit but not aloud. “I can tear-off your cloths in a blink of an eye. Want to expose your beauty to everyone’s around?” he asked, whispering.

    “What are you?” the guard asked doubtingly.

    “A truthful person… Maybe, but a maniac sometimes in terms to girls” Endrw whispered. The guard took some sense and walks heading the exit with stirred feelings. “I’m Endrw, Chief Warden!” Endrw yelled with a smile while holding the guard’s license.
    
    Fueled by it, the guard gone mad and irritated. He’s stomping heading to Endrw and robbed back the license, followed by a slap. But when he realizes Endrw’s sad eyes, he stopped avoiding on hitting him and gazes at the corner saying, “Don’t tell anyone about it, please…”

    “You can trust me” Endrw replied with a smile, the guard felt secured and goes to the exit, thinking, I hate that person, he totally busted me and he even teased me.

    Then Endrw continued walking down heading at the assigned seat accompanied by the guards who distance at him.

    Another thing that took his attention is the gigantic statue of a half-bodied woman on the wall of the stage, made of platinum. The wall has two gigantic slightly-arc coulombs.

    The woman cared at the globe that floats above her palms, staring on it.

    Endrw never get the meaning of the statue. A moment in thinking he thought to himself, what the… Another useless crap again. Then he continued while looking around, with the heavy atmosphere surround the court Endrw embodied by pressure.

    The one who sat behind at the sole table on the stage is Second Pillar Areados Tulzajar, the guardian of the equilibrium of justice. Standing on his side is First Pillar Ruenso Ordiel, in charge on preserving the nature. Either way, Endrw know nothing about the Pillar’s, he never heard a thing.

    Below the stage, the arched table from the left down the right was the busy staffs filling and filing papers while others chatting and communicating about something via holograms.

    There were two people chatting on the left corner of the table, the one known as Sixth Pillar Jample Deagos, head of the Underworld Crime Agents. The second one was Eight Pillar Eslightkin Harrigaze managing the International Technology Department.

    As he sat at the assigned seat he saw Shelanie on the other corner. She’s talking to some old man with her opposing face. Then, another old man enter their arguments that made Shelanie sat down powerless. Endrw recognizes the men amongst the people around Shelanie. They are the Elders of the Paladin Sword Play. He has hints about their intent.

    He even notices another person he recognized, it’s his master father seated near Shelanie is, affirming her relationship to his master. Then what about, ouch! His head started to ache. Feels like his forgotten someone, he can only saw her on his memories in a blurry image.

    Then another person distracted him came from the back. “Hey! You, Endrw right?” asked by the four-eyed bald man who jump and sat beside him, the man even hung his feet at their front seat.

    “Yes, I’m not” Endrw replied, “But wow! You sat like orangutan”

    “You’re the only who cares’ thought. But how about you, you seems’ depressed?” Then Endrw eyed down while listening at him, and he gaze at the stage. The bald man continued, “Afraid already? You need not to worry. Just be calm to yourself. Don’t lose composure, and reminder, you’re not guilty yet.”

    Endrw waved his head. “No…I just… It just I don’t know… It just, if I’m thinking someone… my head is... My head is begun to ache, like I’m forgotten someone. I tried to remember, but I can’t.”

    As the bald-man heard him, he opens a hologram screen and asked Endrw, “Do you mind to speak everyting? I’m letting somebody heard it as well as recording it. That problem seems rare or you’re just a psycho?”

    “Who are you?”

    “I’m Saamuel Deamlait responsible for everything about rights of the accused and convicted” he answered.

    “Huh?” Endrw wonders “Are you one of them?” He pointed at the Pillars on the stage. Yes he is the Tenth Pillars.

    “Yes, you got it right”

    Then Endrw shook his head and starts to explain everything.
