"Father?" Nora called her dad who had his back facing her with his hands at his back while he faced the window
"What are your plans?" He asked still facing the window
"Plans?" She raised her eyebrows
"Yes or you don't have one?"
"Father, I do have plans and one of them is leaving..." Nora stopped for a moment when her father turned to her
"When are you leaving?" Zarek asked his daughter
"You don't look surprised, father"
"Of course, I knew that was what you planned to do" He walked to sit on his chair resting his hands on the table
Nora put her head down staring at the floor "I really hope father won't stop me this time"
"I am not the one stopping you, Nora"
She looked up confused "Then who?"
Zarek sighed "Aria..."
"Huh?" Nora was surprised, of course she knows who this Aria was "Why would the ring's master stop me from leaving" There could be only one reason but she didn't want to conclude without hearing it from her father
"Why else? She wants you as the next seventh guardian"
Nora slumped down in horror. She had her life to live "But...why would she choose me? How about Natasha?"
"Your sister is heavy, Nora, why would Aria choose her?"
She shook her head, no no not again, she had dreamed of finally leaving home but now what is this hindering her now?
Zarek rested his elbow on the table with his face in his palms studying his daughter, why would she not want the position of the seventh, this is something every other person would happily jump into
"What's with you, Nora?"
"I don't want it father, Tell her to choose someone else not me, I don't want it"
"Any reason behind that?"
Nora looked up at her father, reason? Of course she had a very solid reason but her father might not count it as something solid
"I don't want to endanger my life" She stood up from the ground "All other seventh guardians never fulfilled killing that dragon, it's either they get killed or they disappear"
"Fear is the beginning of failure,Nora, I understand you but what can I do when fate is choosing my daughter"
She stayed silent
"Is this because of that guy in black bucket hat?" Nora looked up sharply "Ho..how?"
