"face the consequences then."
Alesha: "Uncle Lucien, wait… this… he is not the one behind this." Took your time.
Lucien: [giving a side eye to Cheol] "You are finally awake. What were you doing sleeping on the road?"
Cheol: [quieting down] "Her guardian, I suppose. Quite the nerdy family they got."
Alesha: "So, what happened to Inglen and Gao? Why are they asleep? And where is Rumi?"
Cheol: "Her body's inside."
Alesha: "Don't say it like she's a dead person. Wait… I did hear a scream—" [her eyes widen] "Uncle, can you check if there's a girl inside?"
Lucien enters the shop. There he glances at the lifeless body of Rumi.
Lucien: [confused] "Yeah, but she's got quite a big wound in her gut. I should at least check if she's breathing… no way, with such a wound… to still be breathing."
Alesha: [in a loud yell] "Please take her with me! We need to treat her wound!"
Lucien: [with quiet anger] "Yeah. Let's get all of them to the church. And after you are treated, we need to talk about this."
With a quick glow, a magic circle appears in front of him. The two layers expand, through which a reindeer and a sleigh appear. He quickly loads Rumi and the others. Alesha follows after.
Alesha: "Come quickly, Cheol, we need to hurry!"
Cheol: "Go ahead. I do not follow up with you—wait, what's this sudden pain?"
Lucien: "Easy way to convince."
Alesha: "Using a sleeping aroma is baseline kidnapping."
Lucien: "You keep quiet. We have a lot to sort out. I know you took her equipment when you came here."
The sleigh moves out of the shop. In the ongoing rain, the sleigh flies through the stormy skies toward the church.
With another crash, the sleigh lands on the stone pavement of the church.
Alesha: [bumping her head on the sleigh] "I curse the one who gave you the driving license."
Lucien: "Give me the girl and that boy who is shivering." I hope she doesn't die—it will be too troublesome.
Alesha: "Shivering? … It's Cheol. Strange… Here, take them." [lifting them off the sleigh]
Lucien: [holding them in his hands] The boy is quite heavy, isn't he?
Lucien rushes inside the church, straight to the physician's tower.
Lucien: [dropping them on beds] "Sister, bring a physician—we have an emergency."
The Nun: [running off in a rush] "Yes!"The girl's wound is critical.
Inside the room, Lucien sits on a chair nearby, holding his head in his hands. "Alesha…"
He gets up and goes down to the ground floor of the tower. There, on a bench in the corridor, Alesha was trying to wake Gao.
Lucien: "Alesha, where is the little kid?"
Alesha: "I sent him to get some water—so, you said you needed to talk—"
Lucien: [pinching his nose] "We will talk about it when we go home." Right now, the problem is that girl. If anything happens to her, Alesha could get in trouble.
Lucien sits on a bench nearby, then Inglen arrives slowly and offers him and Alesha a glass of water.
Alesha splashes water over Gao's face, but it wasn't helping at all. He still lay lifeless.
Drinking a sip, Lucien questions, "what thing did this to you?"
Inglen [looking down]: "It...was..my...nightmare"
Lucien: "what are you mumbling on about, speak clearly."
Inglen [a bit loudly]: "m..my nightmare!"
Lucien [squinting his eyes a bit]: "what do you mean by your nightmare, was it a creature you saw in your dreams?"
Inglen [in a crackling voice]: "yes, it happened..once." and then to Rumi.
Lucien [losing any expression from his face]: "Have you done anything strange. Like vi-"
Alesha [quickly]: "it was me. I was curious about his condition and looked in his mind."
Lucien [moving his head]: "elaborate..."
Alesha [slowly]: "So, this boy has forgot his memories and then, when I checked he had various seals placed over his mind. Then I tried to open one and then everything was dark, and Cheol and Rumi were fighting something."
Lucien [with a raised voice]: "Alesha I had forbidden you from actual practises and even she had! Now the girl's life is endangered because of you. Moreover, you took her responsibility to make her a physician."
Alesha [bowing her head down]: "Please forgive me...I am really sorry..."
Tears start to trickle down her face, but Lucien then holds her by the shoulder. "stop crying and first go and keep this boy in the lower hostel."
Alesha lifts Gao and starts moving; Inglen tries to help but Lucien stops him.
Lucien: "I need you to keep away from them, her master is really angry your life could be in danger." I wonder what Miss Petrovana will think of this. I hope she....nah its a lost cause now.
Lucien:"listen well boy when her master comes stay put for your own self"
A cold voice from behind "what are you talking about ,lucien?"
Lucin: Speak of the devil.
Inglen: A lady appeared out of nowhere behind him. She is a beautifull lady, she is young , pale and is wearing all black from head to toe
The lady: "Where IS ALESHA?"
Lucien [in a sense of flattery]: "I am really sorry, but could you sit, my lady. Your feet must be hurting from all the travel. Here, please sit on this place." Miss Petrovana, not her.
Miss Petrovana raises her eyebrow: "Who is this boy?"
Inglen [lost in his thoughts]: "I am Inglen Yumnak."
Miss Petrovana: "Do you have anything more?"
Inglen: "I do not remem-"
Lucien: "I think you should sit, please. Or else it might affect yourself."
Miss Petrovana takes a seat and then in a cold voice: "so, young boy, how are you and Lucien acquainted?"
Inglen [with a straight face]: "He is guardian of Alesha, the girl who tried to make me regain my memories."
Miss Petrovana: "Interesting, isn't it, Lucien? Your niece was trying to recover the memories of a boy with such high spiritual ki reserves. So explain the situation, or else Alesha may have to leave for using equipment for her own personal gains."
Lucien [Rubbing his head]: "Please forgive her, my lady. She is but a child."
Miss Petrovana [with a slight smirk]: "Give me the boy, then. I need him for some research purposes."
Inglen [his eyes losing the light]: I understand what he meant... she is a researcher and now is going to examine me. How can I have fucked this up this bad...
Lucien [wiping a drop of sweat from his head]: "Sure, he is all yours. You can do anything you want."
