Lily.

How did I end up in this situation? How did I? Lily kept telling herself. She was not supposed to have any kind of stimulation. There was a metal table in front of her in her cell. Lily banged it. She felt good. The smell of dahlias and tinker of bells rushed into her mind. Synesthesia is not bad, Lily thought. Unless it gets you kidnapped by the Sliver Man and Golden Barbie. Lily was feeling dumb again. She banged the table again. Then, she banged it another time. And again. Soon, she was having enough stimulation to keep twenty synesthetic children happy for years. "Lily!" came out a chilly and icy voice. Lily felt as if she was drowning in the coldest lake on Earth. "Save me! Save me!" Lily screamed. Daisy sighed. "Yes dear, I am coming to save you." she said. A tall and masculine woman came in and held Lily up tightly. "No! Please, leave me alone." Lily begged. "That's what we are going to, dear." the icy voice said. Daisy, the tall and masculine woman threw Lily into another cell and locked her up. Also, there was no metal table there. Lily started to cry. She cried until she had relieved all the tears that she had saved up for life.

"Come on we have to go darling." the Golden Barbie said. It had been four months since Lily had had any stimulation. She was quite startled when the icy voice of the Golden Barbie or as she now knew her; Ms. Mauvais was heard by her again. "Is this a dream?" Lily first asked when she heard the icy voice. "No dear."

"Where are we going?"

"To Japan."

"Why are we going to Japan?"

"You don't need to know."

"Okay, but why are you taking me with you?"

"To act as a translator."

A few minutes later, Lily was seated in a plane with the insignia of white sun in a black background. She wondered what it was for. Later, they were in a car with the same insignia. Soon, they reached a cottage. It had all kinds of herbs and medicines in its shelves. A young Japanese man came out and bowed down to Ms. Mauvais. There was not much to describe about him. He said something in Japanese. "Please wait here for the night. What you want has to be prepared and it will be ready tomorrow." Lily translated for Ms. Mauvais. Ms. Mauvais agreed and Lily and she slept in the man's cottage. At night, the man woke up Lily. "Keep quiet. I am speaking to you in my best and quietest Japanese. I had been told to get you out of that woman's hands. Come on now." The man said. Lily followed him quietly. Outside, much to her surprise, Lily found Daisy guarding the cottage. As soon as she saw him, Daisy threw herself at the man. But, the man dodged her and pressed his finger at her neck. Daisy was unconscious. Another guard came up. He had a knife in his hand. He bruised the man on several places. But, the man defeated him too. Lily and the man ran until they reached a big banyan tree. Both of them climbed onto the tree and waited until the guards had gone away. Then, they climbed down. "I am Master Yang." the man said. "I am Lily –

"You are Lily Wei. You are a synesthetic. You are an excellent violin player. You were kidnapped by Ms. Mauvais and Dr. L. And now I have saved you from the Midnight Sun." Master Yang said, completing the sentence for Lily. "But why did you save me?" Lily asked.

"You see, these people are the Midnight Sun. They want to find a secret. They think that it is in the brain of synesthetic children. That's why they kidnapped you. I am from the Terces Society which defends the Secret. I was asked to help you get out of their clutches. That's why I told them that I have a herb which helps people to become beautiful. And then, they took you along because they knew that you know Japanese."

"What do we do now?"

"I don't have any money with me. I will teach you martial arts while you can earn money by playing the violin and taking violin classes. And practice the violin and martial arts regularly because practice makes permanent and to go forward, you must first go back."

"As you say Mast –

"No. Now, you will call me father."

"Yes father."

"And then, years passed by. I continued to live with father. He gave me this morin khur when I turned XX of age. One day, father was struck with a horrible disease. "You will have to find Terces." were his last words. After he passed away, I got a letter which said that I had received my parent's heirloom. I cried because now it meant that I was all alone. When I reached there, I found that nobody was present. But then I heard a coughing noise and saw back. There was a grumpy old man walking towards me. He said that his name was William Wilton Wallace III. He was my parent's accountant he said. Mr. Wallace handed me a card. There was Terces written on the back of it." Lily said.

"Mr. Wallace was an accountant by day and the Terces Society archivist by night. He introduced Lily to the agency and then, I met her on a cruiser. She told me that my brother Luciano was now Dr. L and he had joined the Midnight Sun. I couldn't believe that my brother was so evil now. Therefore, even I joined the Terces Society. Now Yoji, we have told you two stories, one of mine and the other of Lily. Can you join the Terces Society? Because the Midnight Sun will be after you. Also, we want you to make friends with a girl and a boy. They will soon be members of the Terces Society." Pietro said.

"And the girl is quite pretty…." Lily said, raising her eyes. Yoji blushed deep inside his mind. "So what do you think?" Pietro asked. "And there is the girl too…."

"I agree." Yoji said.
