Eyril walked out of the tower as the harsh wind gushed onto his porcelain white mask, his coat thrashed about as he looked towards Marki who slept peacefully, snorting out loud on the ground.
He walked around the carriage up to him and threw the medallion out of his pocket onto his face … waking him up immediately as Marki jolted up looking around shouting "Who's there!"
"Oh~ It's just you, hehe," Marki says as he scratched the back of his head while holding onto the medallion.
Eyril stares silently at him as Marki nervously chuckled, "Wh-what's the matter?" Marki stuttered, but he cut him out saying "You're disgusting, get in,"
"Y-yes, yes," Marki jumped onto the carriage and sat inside, by the metal cage and placed the medallion over his neck, as growls echoed from the dark cage,
"Hi friend! … Please be kind to me~" Marki says looking into as a white hand, its skin sticking right to the bone, protrude from between the bars and startles Marki,
"That's not how friends behave!" he said, slowly crawling away from the cage, he grabbed the medallion and observed it thoughtfully, saying "How beautiful…"
Eyril, hearing the commotion, just sighed as a pleasant smell of the forest overtook him, "Such rotten smell… we're departing, hold tight!",
He jumped onto the front side of the carriage and gripped the lashes tightly as he whipped the horses, startling them as they jolted forward pushing the carriage,
The carriage jumped up and down on the dirt road as they rode through the uneven surface.

Back in the house where Mytri, Luna and Theia were living, the rainstorm continued, everyone was unsure as to when it would stop.
The fishy smell of rain had already penetrated the home, and had now become the norm.
Luna, who had just woken up from sleeping on Mytri's lap, now lay on the floor with her head on Theia's lap, overlooking the garden, where water flew through the grass, down the hills
The rain was really harsh as it struck the window repeatedly, like a sword against a sword, but to Luna it was really pleasant.
She liked to watch as rain fell, especially on Theia's lap.
Luna looked up at Mytri who was lying on his sofa covered with a red blanket, looking out the window into the forest, "What are you looking at, Master?" Luna asked,
Mytri stayed silent for a moment before answering, "It's nothing important, just that at those days, I'll always go hunting, for deers prefer to travel in such weather"
"We're fine here, you can go!" Luna perked up as she said, her eyes glimmered,
"No, I can't leave children alone unattended, It wouldn't be right…"
"I guess… you're right" Luna said, as she turned to Theia adding "please caress my hair, okay?" with a warm blush.
Theia's face immediately blushed red as her expression contorted, as if she would've melted on the spot, so she nodded as she caressed Luna's hair.
"Thank you," sincerely Luna said as she felt the tingling feeling on the back of her head as theia's soft fingers slid through her hair, her nails gently scratching her scalp, it felt good.
"Master, about our training, after we finish the horizontal slashes, what will we do? Will we do other fundamentals?" Luna asked tilting her head,
At the moment a lightning struck the ground somewhere in the forest, sending a loud thunderous roar echoing through the room, it startled nobody sadly.
"No… I plan for you to go straight to rudimentary spells, that every knight needs to learn"
"Weirdly enough you already seem to have mastered all the fundamentals… So it's pointless to keep you at the beginner stage, are you sure you never had learnt swordsmanship before?" Mytri asked as he looked at Luna gently, awaiting her response curiously.
"No, I mean my brother taught me for a month, but that's all…"
"I see… A genius by the definition… interesting" Mytri mutters as he stood up saying "Then, scrambled eggs I'll make now,"
Luna jolted up, with her face as if glimmered with stars, her wide eyes open towards him saying "Really? Please cook it for us!"
"As much as you need, Luna… I'll be back soon," Mytri walked into the kitchen as Luna turned to Theia, "Did you hear! a paradise!"
But Theia was on the ground covering her face as it was fully red, a word escaped from Luna's mouth "oh, I'm sorry"

As the rainstorm kept on raging as Luna, Theia and Mytri, sat at the table, eating the food that Mytri had painstakingly prepared,
"How is it? Delicious? or Delicious?" Mytri asked, while taking a forkful of scrambled eggs into his mouth with a fork.
"Tasty," Theia answered as she chewed on it slowly, her eyes fixed on Luna.
"And you, Luna?"
Mytri looked toward her, and was convinced immediately that she liked it.
She gripped the fork and split the eggs in half, stacking them all on a stack and pushed all of it into her mouth, stuffing it to the brim.
The smell of freshly fried eggs wriggled up to her nostrils, taking control of it, she was glimmering with stars in her eyes as she chewed on it slowly.
"Tasty indeed it is… No one will steal it from you, you can calm down…" Mytri said with a gentle smile as his eyelids relaxed, barely open to allow him to see.
"Yesh!" Luna said with her mouth full of food,
"Tommorow we'll depart to the capital , to visit few shops, on the way we can stop by any you want, is that alright with you?"
Theia nodded gently, but Luna perked up as an idea came to her mind and she nodded up and down with all her strength.
