These looks confused the two new members of their group. Nahar looked down at the child who was silently standing beside him. Vain had his eyes wide and sparkling while looking at the direction of the others. He could feel the curiosity coming from him.
"What do you mean?" Nahar asked because he too was curious as to what was happening. He wanted to know what got them all excited.
Ignius and Nina looked back at the elven spirit guardian with a grin. They walked towards him and looked him in the eye. They also gave Vain a nod.
"The reason why we are so happy today is because the master is finally making his move. This kingdom will soon be thrown into chaos." Nina answered his question with so much enthusiasm.
"If you think about it, all the actors are already here in Lunaira, so it is reasonable for the master to finally show his cards." Ignius flopped down on the chain once again as he leaned back.

She twirled with her purple hair swaying around. Her crisp laughter echoed in the room and made the ambiance brighter. This was the first time they were seeing her this happy.
Nahar was surprised but after that he smiled. He was pleased with how things were proceeding. He looked down at Vain and patted him on the shoulder.
"We are lucky to be part of this." He glanced at the other two and at the butler who was still standing by the doorway.
"With the master's declaration, please prepare yourselves because anytime from now, we will be starting." Mr. C gave them a smile. "Please inform the others about the master's decision." He gave them a nod before he turned around and left.
"Now that you mentioned it. I am curious as to what the worlds you've been to look like?" Nahar asked after he too sat down once again.
He observed them and was glad that he did not strike any raw nerves. Ignius and Nina only looked at each other before both of them sighed. The world where they came from was something they didn't want to remember but it was already in the past.
"My world is not like this one. It's a dark place with only a few hours of sunshine before it would be covered again by dark clouds. The buildings are black and there is always rain." Nina spoke first as she described the place where she came from.
Although it was unpleasant, she still managed to speak and describe how she lived in that place. To her it was a dreary place and if she had a way, she would have already forgotten it. If not for the master appearing in that world, she would be dead by now.
The city she was living in was called Crow City. It was a dark place where most people involved with crime and most people who had been living there were criminals. Nina grew up there and survived with her wit and courage.
She didn't even know who her parents were and the earliest memory she has was rummaging through the dumpster for food. To her, it was better than going hungry because she was unable to work. She would go to the market and steal some fruits and bread. She would be lucky if she didn't get caught.
She slept in an abandoned building together with the other street orphans. The building was once a company but after the owner was killed and after his family fought for his money the company was abandoned. It then became a place for different activities and once became a drug den but after the people who were doing drugs were arrested, the building remained abandoned.
The windows were broken. The entrance was no more while the walls were full of graffiti. Their floors were full of trash and because the place always experiences rain, the corners of the walls and the posts became green in color. Whenever she touched them, it felt wet and slimy.
That's where they pass their cold and rainy nights. She would also watch as the children with her disappear one-by-one. Some of them would be killed on the streets for no reason or some of them would be taken in by syndicates to do some dirty work.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe upper floors of the building were of the same state but because the foundations of the building already had cracks on them, they didn't dare to go up more than three floors. The only floors that were actually occupied were until the third floor and each room became like a dormitory. They on the other hand occupied the first floor.
In that place, no one would give them a look of sympathy. Normal people in that place would only mind their own business and would go along their way even if there was a guy on the street begging for help or dying. She understood why they acted like when she grew up. They were only protecting themselves because in Crow City, if you get involved you die and she learned it the hard way.
In that place anomalies like her were precious and rare. It was a world where magic wasn't feasible. Guns and money were the power that ruled that world but there were individuals who were gifted with a power that neither money nor gun could create. Although it was a world that abandoned their ancient history, people in there still valued those who can use magic.
Syndicates, mafias, powerful families, underworld organizations and even the government would kill just to have a mage in their ranks. Nina was just that, a child who could use magic. She discovered that she could create bombs that could explode at her will when she was being chased by people because she stole money from a stall.
In her desperate attempt to live, her mana manifested in a bright purple color that scattered in that place where she laid in her own pool of blood. She was shot that day and as she fell on the ground, she desperately wished to live. Nina did not want to die.
"That's my first encounter with death. It was so memorable that even until now I can still feel the pain of that wound that almost took my life at the age of twelve. And as I was lying there, I felt a hot surge inside my body. I didn't even know what it was and I had no idea what was happening around me because I was slowly losing consciousness." Nina narrated while she rested her head on her knuckles.
She pulled the plate of nuts on the table with her right hand and picked one piece to put in her mouth. She slowly chewed and savored the flavor of the snack but the others didn't mind. It was her story so they didn't want to rush her. They instead took this chance to choose a snack for themselves.
"I could only hear screams and I remembered smiling to myself because I thought that they were all dying. That's my last thought before I completely fell unconscious," she continued.
That day, the mana she released unconsciously killed the people who were after her. Everyone that touched the mana exploded on the spot. The explosion shook the whole city and everyone rushed to see what happened only to find mutilated bodies on the ground.
They also found a patch of fresh blood but there was no body found. The people who were perceptive already started investigating the incident after they found out that there were no explosives used in the place. There was no debris and no damage to the surrounding buildings or even on the ground. The explosions were only focused on the people that were found dead.
