"O-oh! Yong Soo!"

Húdié Mei hugged the strange man as they walked out of the cavern. Yïngguó Shí just stood back and watched as Kiku slowly pried her hands off of her suffocating cousin. Feliciano only stood there and "ve~d" in some form of interest. Ludwig only sighed and stood back.

"What the hell were you doing in there? You made me so worried!" Húdié Mei cried.

"I was looking at the crystals in there, duh! I was curious about their reactions to Sigillato Attraversa and their Vitula." He answered. "Most of them weren't reacting to my Vitula, but they were going berserk with Feli-ku's here!"

"I'm sorry, but…" Yïngguó Shí blinked. "Feli-ku?"

"Yeah, Feli-ku!" Yong Soo draped an arm around Feliciano. "This is Feliciano, but I call him Feli-ku for short, like how Kiku would say his name!"

"Yong Soo…the term is Feli-kun." He answered.

"Whatever, da ze…I say Feli-ku!" He looked at him. "Isn't that right?"

"Um…y-yeah, exactly!" Like he had a clue what was going on. "Oh yeah, Yong Soo…you were going to explain to me about what you were talking about before."

"Oh yeah, the Sigillato Attraversa!" He turned to Feliciano. "You know what? Let's not talk here. I have a better place to go."

/="Garden of the Gods" by Chrono Cross=/

Feliciano was led into a beautiful white building in the city. As he was approaching it, he was surprised that he never saw it, since it was so tall and it was a clear image when he was standing in the main square. Ludwig only grunted as he passed the surprised young man into the temple-ish area.

"Hurry up." He grumbled. "Before we decide to leave you."

"Ve~~~~! Don't leave me!"

He grabbed Ludwig's arm, who tried his best to pull away (and failed). Through that state of chaos, Feliciano didn't notice that he had been escorted into the library until Ludwig was actually successful in pulling his arm away. He looked up to the bookcases filled to the roof with books.

"Where are we?" Feliciano asked.

"We're in the Candidum Library, of course! It's named that because if you take all the bookcases out of here, you'll just be in a white room!" Yong Soo answered. "If we're looking for the general stuff, then we need to go…that way!"

Yong Soo quickly jumped down the pathway, forcing the others to dash after him. Feliciano (because he's…well, Feliciano) had stayed behind in awe, and had only seen the flowing hair of Húdié Mei pass. He panicked and ran as fast as he could toward them, desperate not to lose them…

And ran into someone.

"Gah!" He straightened himself. "I'm sorry, I was in a rush, I didn't see you!"

"It's OK, I was careless that I didn't see you…" The man looked up. "Feliciano?"

"Eh?" He blinked. "I remember your face, but…what was your name again?"

"Eheheh…I get that a lot. It's Matthew." He answered. "What are you doing here, anyway?"

"I was following a couple of my friends, but…" He looked around. "I think I lost them…"

"Actually, I saw a girl run around that way. She seemed to have a flower in her hair…was that one of them?"

"Yeah, actually! Where'd she go?"

/="America's Cleaning of the Storage" by Hetalia: Axis Powers=/

After a few minutes of dashing, he was led to a desk where everyone was sitting down. Yong Soo seemed to be too busy digging books from everywhere to notice that Feliciano had been missing for a while. Ludwig just shook his head, clearly annoyed at his late appearance.

"Did you get lost, Feliciano?" Kiku asked.

"J-just a little." He answered. "Luckily, he saw where you were going and led me here."

"Oh, that guy?" Húdié Mei leaned over on the table. "The blond man? Why does he look familiar?"

"Duh, it's Alfred F. Jones." Yïngguó Shí stated. "They even look the same."

"Seriously? THE Alfred F. Jones?" Húdié Mei stood up. "What's he doing all the way here?"

"I-I'm sorry, but that's not my name…" Matthew answered. "My name's Matthew…"

"W-wait…you're not Alfred?" She sat back down. "Never mind then…"

"I…I get that a lot." He sighed.

After a few minutes of that, Yong Soo started parading toward all of them, slamming piles of books onto the table. He turned toward Feliciano, and for a split second he saw something shine in his eyes. It was a symbol, but it wasn't the same as his. It was a bit more…spacey and open. Is that his Vitula?

"Sit down, Feliciano. This is going to be long, da ze."

Matthew stood back as Feliciano slowly took a seat across from Yong Soo. Instantly, he pulled out a book and slid it toward him. Feliciano was startled and it smacked his hand. He whimpered in pain for a minute before he flipped it open in the place where it was marked. Opening it, he saw that it was filled with strange writing.

"That book right there has the original copy of the legend concerning the Sigillato Attraversa and the Vitula." He stated. "Just read it and see if you have any questions."

"Um…all right." Feliciano looked at the book. "Bear the cross that hangs above all, o' child of the sign. For you are blessed with the holy scepter, the light that created all that is known. Its gift grants only a chosen few, but not all are worthy of its presence. If you are not born worthy…let those who trespass into these uncharted lands be damned…"

Feliciano looked up twice as confused as before. It was then that he saw everyone else staring at him with a surprised look on all their faces, making him even more confused than the feeling of being confused. Yong Soo, however, only sat there with a smile on his face.

"So I was right: you are unique."

"U-unique?" He blinked. "Wh-what are you talking about?"

"That text you were reading, da ze? The language had been dead for about a millennium." Yong Soo answered. "No one reads it anymore."

"Ve~~~~? But…I can read this clearly as if I spoke it…" Feliciano rubbed his throat. "Can anyone understand me at all?"

"You're speaking our language, Feli-ku. Don't worry about that, da ze." Yong Soo chuckled. "But you can read that…how interesting."

"Eh? But you said that I should read this and see if I had questions!"

"That was Trial #1: Could you actually read that? And you can." He answered. "In that case, it makes it all the weirder that you have no idea what the Sigillato Attraversa is about."

"I-I'm sorry…" He looked down.

"It's fine. People always have the strangest sense of information." Kiku answered. "Put simply, the Sigillato Attraversa is the 'holy scepter' that you mentioned in the legend."

"It granted everyone their powers…" Feliciano blinked.

"People that are supposedly chosen by the Sigillato Attraversa are called the Gekozen. They're physically differentiated with the non-chosen by a mark on their bodies, the Vitula." Húdié Mei grinned. "Yong Soo has his on his forehead. Kiku has his on his back. And Ludwig-"

The blond grunted as he stood up, leaving the library immediately (much to Feliciano's surprise). He muttered a sorry when he bumped into Matthew on the way out, but the blond made no move to say anything, too startled to even think about a reaction for him.

"Don't worry about Ludwig." Yïngguó Shí stated. "He just had a bad history with the Sigillato."

"I…see." He answered. "But…he's a Gekozen, right?"

"Yeah. His is wrapped around his shoulders." Kiku stated.

"You saw his mark?" Yong Soo looked interested. "I thought he never showed anyone that."

"I only saw it once. He's pretty secretive about it." He answered. "I thought you'd see it, since that is your ability."

"I did. I just wanted you to say it." He turned to Matthew. "Well then, da ze. Since we lost a blond at our table, you're more than welcome to join us."

"N-no, really! It's rude to just barge into a conversation like this-"

"Nah, it's fine! All Gekozen are welcome at this table!" Yong Soo leaned back on his chair.

"Hm? He's one of us, yet he's NOT Alfred…" Húdié Mei stared at him. "Are you sure you're not Alfred?"

"No, I'm not! I mean…I do have a Vitula, but it's not the same as Alfred's…"

"Ve~? You have one?" Feliciano looked confused. "Where?"

"Um…it's actually in the back of my head…you can't really see it, but…"

Kiku and Feliciano quickly jumped to their seats and walked toward (well, more like assaulted) the poor blond man, parting his hair to see his scalp. Sure enough, there was a mark there. It looked similar to Feliciano's, but it was yellow and seemed to be focused more on the left side of the Vitula.

"It looks like it completely took over your scalp…" Kiku stated. "You must've been using your power often."

"Well, turning invisible is usually helpful whenever Seyel and I get into anything too big." He answered. "Um…this is awkward…"

"Oh, sorry." Kiku backed up. "Better?"

"A little bit…yes." He rubbed the back of his head. "But, um…going back to the legend, Yong Soo…does it ever mention any connection to the monster outbreaks occurring recently?"

"Only once. Closer to the back of the book. Don't worry, da ze. I won't make Feli-ku read it." Yong Soo grinned. "It states something about a flawed Gekozen called the Iniquum and him bearing the ultimate power. Once that guy hits this planet, BOOM, we're dead."

"Ve~~~~! He sounds scary!" Feliciano shivered.

Everyone was staring at Feliciano's shivering figure that they didn't even notice Yïngguó Shí touch the back of Matthew's head. He jumped in surprise, and for a split second they could see a symbol on the palm of his hand. Húdié Mei sighed as she stood up from her seat.

"Must you do that to every Gekozen, brother?" She asked.

"I was curious. By the feel of it, he's actually mastered using it." He pulled his hand back, rubbing the palm. "That's an impressive feat."

"It's…not that impressive, really." He answered.

Feliciano stared at them with a blank look on his face, confused on just what happened. Slowly, he turned behind him and barely saw a blond figure walk away from the conversation. He wondered if he should follow the figure out the door. Slowly, he walked out of the room.
