April Fools Day in Riviera II
Chapter VII
Disclaimer: As I said before: I don't own Riviera, the company that makes Riviera or anything even close to it. The only thing I have, that's close to having Riviera, is a copy of the game itself and the game guide! ^_^. This still applies to all my chapters.
A/N: Never expected this chapter to have lots of "jumps." Good? Bad?

The Hidden Hunter, was in the forest of Elendia. He wore an oversized black cape and a tribal mask and waited in the woods. He was planning his next move as he sat on the ground. He stored his scimitar back into it's sheath and started thinking.
I'm sorry Rose. the hunter said to himself.
A few seconds ago...
- - - -
Ein selected a doll, that looks him, from his bag and threw it down on the ground. He dashed away from Rose and pulled a small blanket, with his white mask, from his bag and wore it. He slid on his mask and pulled his scimitar from his bag. The angel moved to one corner of the place and sighed as he watched Rose turn around. The small doll, now grew into Ein's lifeless "body" that was "bleeding" and the Hidden Hunter stood their watching the situation. A fews seconds later, when Rose looked at the body again, the angel disappeared.
- - - -
He thought about solving this crisis. There must be some way to save the people of Elendia. Well.... observing people isn't the best option but I guess its the only lead I got.
So the wingless angel put on his mask and left the clearing to the edges of Lina's and Fia's house. He pulled out his notepad and waited, ready to record some data. He waited and waited but alas no one came. So he changed his plans and decided to explore a different, more livelier place. Ein knew he shouldn't return back the scene of the crime, so he headed towards the quiet Pixia Residence. He arrived at a quiet but audible house.
Inside, someone attempted to make some lunch or even dinner, since Ein heard the sound of wood meeting blade and chopping. Kyle was probably running around exploring the place, much like he was. Molan and Gill were.... together with Lina. So Ein staked his place and started observing, waiting to see if he could identify the person inside, which Ein guessed was Mylene.
"Owe!" Mylene said.
Ein realized that whoever was cutting was a bad cook so it couldn't have been Fia, Cierra, Ladie or Soala. A new idea came into Ein's head.
Why didn't I think of that before. Ein said to himself. That would have solved everything I wouldn't have to walk around watching people.
The angel stepped away from the bush and went to the Magical Guild. He peered inside for anyone and saw the scarlet witch, who was writing on a pad of paper. The nearby green ooze, bubbled and overflowed a test tube as Cierra used some probe-like device to test the green slime. After each test she recorded her data on the pad of paper, attempting to find some solution to her hypothesis.
The mage watched as the ooze acted, just like a living creature. Since Cierra has never mastered "living dolls" aka organic puppetry, the spell wouldn't last long. The creature simmered as its mana "battery" died. Eventually that living creature "crumbed" into a pile of liquid goo.
Yep that's Cierra all right. Ein said to himself. She always makes some sort of clumsy mistake or she never really mastered what she's attempting to learn.
Cierra- normal (as least for now) Ein wrote those words in his small little notepad.
He couldn't help but feel sorry for the witch. After all, its her curiously that lead her to magic and yet she never really was able to master any other domain besides fire. Her spells can end up causing more harm than good and in addition, her clumsiness ends up being her some unexpected trouble.
Ein put on his mask and left before there would be another fiery explosion, engulfing part of the guild again. The angel quietly walked away, ignoring the fiery surrounding. The stone building, wasn't completely on fire but Cierra quickly jumped out of the window and waited for the large flames to die down. As one could guess, Ein was smart enough to never be Cierra's test subject, after his throat was burning and he wasn't to speak for a few days. Ein would however, be Soala's guinea pig since her magical experiments were stabler, safer and sometimes a little bit more rewarding.
Ein. Ein. EIN!? Rose yelled in Ein's head. Hang on there, I got help...
The angel of despair sighed as he realized that no matter what happens, he would still be connected to Rose. The wingless person continued to move around in the bushes, like a animal stalking its prey. The creatures Ein were looking for, were the confused citizens on Elendia. With nothing to go on, Ein returned to square one.
Ein hid in the bush, that was close to the childish trio. Like before, he waited for someone to come, but unlike last time, he looked like a spirit or some bizarre creature.
Ein.... can you here me? Rose asked, hoping to get some response from the dead body. The doll, of red ooze and some "fake" organs, stayed motionless. Of course, Claude could have made the doll move and act like a human, but he didn't.
- - - - -
The cat, looked at the body, and at Ein's emotionless face. The body was constructed sometime ago to be used as a decoy for Ein. Chappi himself, made the body and look very much like Ein. The only ones would know the difference is Ein and Rose, if she wasn't panicking. Claude himself, fed it "doll magic" and give life into an otherwise "dead" body. He created the blood, the organs and even the hair. At the end of this two week project was a miniature doll that would give The doll was created to give Ein the chance to retreat. However, he never needed the doll during his journey so the body was still sitting in his bag.
Rose looked at his well-built master, and how he was still idle. The cat pawed her master for a reaction but there was none for the doll was made to look like Ein but not act like the perverted angel. It was, at best, a puppet with its stings cut. It would lay there lifeless until someone else would act on it.
Soala created air "bursts", the equivalent of fire balls but with air, and shoved the scarlet witch and helper, Rebecca, away from the "disaster" site. She then created about 20 air columns that were 30 feet high and placed them in a circular, circle-like shape around her, Rose and Ein to prevent anyone else from interfering with the medical help.
The wind witch, proceeded to create her green cradle and used it, much like a table at the operating room. Before she did anything else, she observed the crafted body five feet up in the air. She twirled her hand and spun the body looking for any openings, gaps, cuts and injuries on an otherwise normal body. Soala saw one large hole about one inch wide on Ein's chest, a long large cut line created from a sharp weapon, and went from Ein's shoulder to Ein's waist and a large cut, about four inches wide by one inch tall, on the side of Ein's rip cage.
She pulled her band-aids and dressed his side wound first to prevent any more blood from leaking. After several bands of a white "healing" gauze was wrapped, she moved the body closer to him to see the main wounds. The hole seems like it was created from a strong, violent magic while the cut probably came from a long sword slash or spear slash.
The wing mage cracked her knuckles as she prepared the treatment. She first used the air to remove the fresh blood and "flowed" it back into the body. Soala shaped the air into the small pair of sharp scissors. She carefully controlled the blade and used it to cut Ein's soaked shirt and threw that to the ground.
Soala started chanting and the wind picked up with each new word flowing from her mouth. A green breeze picked up around the trio as she spun the magic around her hand, forming a temporary "tattoo," in the shape of three curves lines (~), around her right arm. Then the wind witch placed her hand right above Ein's heart, and released the magical "dam." Her green powers flowed and started to repair the "organic" body. However, since the body wasn't really alive, the spell failed to do anything. The magic flowed from the palm of her hands onto the stiff but smooth organs. It then moved around, attempting to heal the doll. The magic flowed but found nothing it could stop from bleeding. The excess magic flowed from the internal "organs" to his arms and legs and finally to his back, surrounding the limb, "dead", human. The green "liquid" covered the body like a mummy with green hieroglyphics floating inches from above the "skin." Soala again focused herself, and attempted to heal Ein, this time from the outside inward. That failed and the magic flowed back down, to the ground and back to the feet of Soala and back into the wind mage, completing the cycle.
Anger slowly bubbled into the witch's mind as she thought this was just another joke. The annoyed witch left the doll in its state, searching for the perpetrator. Rose watched this all unfold and wondered why Soala would left her close and dear friend. Upon further inspection, the familiar noticed the static organs and knew that she fell for a joke.
Unlike Soala, Rose didn't know how to act. It was true that Ein could have played this type of trick but Ein had never deceived her. The worst thing he has ever done is not tell her about his April Fool's Day's plan but that was because she enjoyed her beauty sleep way too much. Furthermore, Ein has done nothing cruel and has even spent sometime off from his schedule with his familiar when she was ill. With this much confidence, Rose contained her fury to look for the criminal that would do this sort of think. Unlike Soala, she left in the opposite direction.
- - - -
Meanwhile, Ein was waiting in the bushes, ready with a notepad in hand for something to happen. He decided to write down anything worth noting in an attempt to find out who was who. Molan, Gill and Lina were still in a bush.... just like Ein observing. Soon something did come.
The "masked hunter" saw Serene.... in a dress!? The arc, who often never wore feminine clothing, today donned on a pink long dress, that seemed to shock everyone, including the childish trio who was now stunned in awe. The lightly tanned arc, waltz and twirled in her dress like a playful little girl, with a yellow flower on her hair. The soft white skin, appealed to Ein, as he saw some things he never saw. Serene wore, sandals that revealed her toes, which was often hidden in her boots. She had red toe nails and a pink ankle bracelet with a red gem on it with her name engraved on it. Her overall looked seemed completely different with the dress that now spun around her knee joint. As her momentum increased, the dress flowed more and more up, revealing her kinder, feminine side, or so Ein thought.
Note to self: Serene + feminine looks = cute Ein wrote in his notebook. In his mind, the angel though of who this person really is. It wasn't Serene since she herself would never choose that type of clothing. It wouldn't be Lina since she always needs help picking her clothing. Fia does wear dresses so she is a possible candidate. As for Cierra and Soala, he really couldn't say since they were often.... chaotic. Ladie would probably never wear something like that but....
The arc continued past Ein oblivious to the angel and continued, free from the clutches of the children. Ein closed his pad of paper and stored it in his front pocket, with no accurate conclusion on who Serene might be. The wingless hero crawled away without a trace looking for another person. Molan, Gill and Lina also left their bastion for..... some other reason.
The angel continued his investigation unaware of the presence behind him. While he focused on the troubling dilemma, the quiet stalker was following him once left the Magic Guild.
A witch, who left the magic guild, noticed a small fragment of Ein's garb and like a curious cat followed it. She kept her distance from the angel, and saw him as a threat to society as a whole because she didn't know his reason, his cause or even who he is. In her mind, the angel was a dark soul.
Ein continued past some branches, to his next spot. In the distance, he saw some broken pieces of wood that would lead people to the house. There was a garden to one side of the house with the Elder's yellow dandelions. Ein knelled, in a bush that was about thirty feet away from the Elder's house, near one of the "trails." With his notepad in hand, he waited patiently for something to happen. The sun, slowly reached its height at 1:19PM as the reporter and solver looked for pieces of the larger, shattered puzzle.
A silent, Elder walked, watching his surroundings with every step. The old man was armed with a spear, which was quickly noted in Ein's database. The angel came to the conclusion that whoever was controlling the Elder's body was careful and wary of his or her surroundings but there is only one person who would be armed with a spear.
While Ein was happily writing all the info down, the mage watched her prey, recording some information. She knew that this was the best time to act, when the victim was occupied with something else. She pulled our her staff and stepped closer and closer. With a staff in one hand, she waited until the Elder went into the house and closed his door. As the sound of the wooden door, striking the frame echoed,
The witch yelled out "FireBall!", creating a burning sphere of heat.
The angel instantly responded by rolling out into the open. The spell struck and started yet another fire in the bushes. The angel turned his head and saw Cierra in plain view with her angry vigilante face. Ein quickly pulled out his curvy scimitar weapon, and poised himself for the next strike.
"Snake Chain." The witch said, revealing herself as well. The fire mage created a long snake that aimed itself toward Ein. The angel used his blade to redirect the spell away from him, and sadly enough to the house. What Ein didn't realize is that, the snake spell is a homing spell and pretty soon, found its target. Serene crafted another fireball to ensure her victory and aimed it at the paralyzed, burning man.
Ein felt the burning sensation that seemed to weaken his senses. It wasn't long before he fell onto the ground, with his mask in two and cape and weapon no more. As the smoke cleared, Cierra saw the angel, with some embers on his clothing. She used one of Soala's fan, which she has "borrowed", and swept away all the soot and small sparks. What remained of the scene was Ein, a broken mask and his Einherjar, which was on his back.
Curious about the mask, Cierra walked to it, and picked it up. She carefully looked at the masked and realized, or so she though, that Ein was under a spell. The mask itself, has some magic on it, thanks to Ein's previous confrontations with other mages, and so the fire witch burned the mask, ensuring that it would not mind control anyone else.
Like before, Cierra was standing in front of an unconscious body, which looked like Ein, in this case it was Ein. Since, the last time the witch saw Ein, was when she was shooed and made to leave, Cierra concluded, that this was Soala's own doing.
Soala must have done something to cause him to act this way. Cierra though to herself.
So Cierra decided to heal Ein. Unlike Soala, she had to physically touch Ein and give him some "life heat" which was basically her magic, in a healing form that was supposedly much safer. While her method was much stabler, it had one simple restriction, that Cierra had to keep in contact with the person she was trying to save.
Unlike her normal spells, Cierra had to focus her magic because if she didn't, Ein would become one giant burning person, counteracting her efforts. She breathed in and out as she remembered what happened last time.
- - - - -
It was a few days ago when Cierra came into the magical guild. She saw Soala who was lying on her table, with her face turned away from Cierra. The fire mage quickly ran to the wing mage and looked at the body. It was unscathed but Cierra decided to heal her anyway. She placed her hand on Soala's back and channeled her healing spell into Soala.
Five seconds later someone screamed.
"AHH!" Soala yelled out, rolling herself away from Cierra's hand. She fell on an air cushion which was floating, inches above the ground.
"What are you doing!? [3╬]" Soala yelled out, rolling herself to stop the fire.
"I'm just trying to heal you." Cierra said with a smile.
"Heal me!? You placed your hand and set me on fire." Soala said, getting up from her cushion.
"Well it looked like you were down and...." Cierra said attempting to explain herself.
"DOWN? [3╬] I was sleeping[4ô]." Soala said, looking at her clothes, which had holes in it.
"Why would you sleep on the table? [4ô]" Cierra asked, annoying at Soala's reasoning.
"I was testing my air cushion and took a small nap." Soala said, pointing to the air floating around her desk. The air bag was mostly invisible, aside from the air current forming the shape.
The smoke from Soala's blouse set the primitive fire alarm, which set on the ceiling. The sensor spell, activated the rain spell and pretty soon, there were a large rain storm in the guild. Not only was the air current destroyed, the place was slowly filling with water.
A current appeared and pulled the girls and Ritz out of the cavern and left them, wet and cold.
"WHAT'S WITH YOU TWO! [3╬]" a very furious and angry Ritz yelled out, in his soaking clothes.
As if on cue, Ein came by to deliver Claude some herbs.
"Umm.... is there another pool in the cavern?" Ein asked, looked at the trio.
"Yes there is." Ritz said, angrily said, walking back into the crystal cave.
Ein stared at their wet clothes and their well shaped curves....
Luckily for him, the girls were focused on each other, rather than his gaze. Ein realized what he was suppose to do and left them, or so it appeared. Once inside, he yelled to the witches and asked where Claude was.
Claude revealed himself from the darkness and said "What do you need?"
"Here are the herbs." Ein said handing him the herbs. "Why is the whole place umm... wet... not that I mind."
"Well you see, the two activated my fire alarm, which casted my storm spell that ended up flooding the place. The spell needs to be reactivated so if there is another fire, the place will be flooded again."
"So what you saying is that if Cierra.... started a fire the place won't be burning"
"Precisely." Claude said
"So if I somehow light a match.... the place would be flooded?" Ein asked, planning something perverted.
"Well... yes if there is something burning then yes the spell will activate and create that storm." Claude answered, wondering why Ein would ask something so simple.
"Thank you [1 ]." Ein said, leaving the guild. The two annoyed witched glared at each other when they entered the cavern, although they did noticed Ein.
The angel quickly left, before he could get a chance to watch them.
- - - - -
Back to reality, Ein's life was slowly recovering with the heat, rather than the wind but unlike the breezes that instantly healed Ein, the warmth took its time. Without a useful cradle, Cierra had no choice but to drag Ein like a doll, to Lina's and Fia's home. What seemed like a good act, had a darker meaning. Misunderstands would soon be the least of her worries for the witch that dragged Ein with his singed clothes.
- - - - -
A certain feline familiar and witch duo were walking around looking for the "real" Ein. Rose kept on yelling out, mentally, to Ein but received to response or even any thought. Receiving nothing, the cat assumed that Ein was out cold, or, carried far away from Elendia. The familiar was a few steps behind Soala who was fueled with rage and compassion. On the one hand, she wanted to fix Ein or wanted a logical reason as to why he had a doll of himself but on the other, she was angry that this could be a prank by Ein or one of her "competitors."
Soala marched onward from the Magical Guild to the Grove of Repose and then onto the Elder's house. She came to a strange site with Ladie, watching from her window like an eye in the sky, analyzing a ring of dirt. The witch came closer and saw that it there was a mask that was broken in two. The mask wasn't destroyed by force, it was melted and damaged from a heat source. The mage knew of only one other person who could plausibly create this mess.
Instantly she headed to Lina's and Fia's house, hoping to find that clumsy witch.
- - - -
As one could guess, they would inevitably meet once more. Soala ran through the bushes, ignoring the trail paths and taking the faster hypotenuse route. Unlike the other citizens who often had to clear out a path or move with a walking gait, Soala ran at full speed with a wind aura, that shielded her body. Often people got cuts from the sharp plants, thanks to their fast movement but the aura protected Soala from getting cuts on her somewhat white skin. Rose matched her speed and followed, barely within the shield.
Past the clearing they saw a sweaty, exhausted Cierra who was cleaning herself up with a blood red handkerchief. Ein was laying there, by her feet, recovering from a damaging fire snake that struck his spinal cord. Soala, with her staff walked up to the careless Cierra.
As her footsteps became more audible to Cierra, the red witch looked up and realized that her fate was sealed. In her current state, she wouldn't be able to use any of her stronger spells. She braced herself for the strong gust but there was none.
"Having fun there?" Soala asked, created a wind cradle underneath Ein and raising him up.
Cierra watched in awe as wind magic was more useful in helping civilians than fire magic.
"There, there I won't attack you. We have to help Ein first. [2 ]" Soala said in a warm tone.
With that note, Cierra rushed up and hugged Soala, who was a bit more forgiving because today is a lighthearted day and because Soala "left" Ein on the ground when she was fighting Cierra. She could easily get her revenge a few days or even a month or two later with an "experiment."
The two witches, moved Ein into Lina's and Fia's house and into his bed. Soala, who was used to doing medical treatment, measured Ein's vitals and found out that his burns were serious but not fatal. However, they did strike a key point, with enough force that would knock anyone out, or at least leave them unable to move for hours, or so they thought. Thanks to Cierra's quick treatment he was going to make a full recovery soon enough.
(Ein! EIN! I'll be watching over you. [5ö]) Rose said, climbing up to his master's bed. She climbed onto the nearby table and watched from afar, making sure that he wouldn't leave her site again, or be injured by some crazy mishap.
"I never knew you knew recovery magic!?" Soala said, surprised that Cierra was able to do something useful for Ein, that didn't involve burning trees.
"Look, just because I use fire, doesn't mean I destroy everything." Cierra responded, annoyed that a fellow witch saw her as a weapon, rather than a sorcerer. "Remember that burn you felt when you were sleeping?"
"So that was the birth of your healing spell, setting people on fire?" Soala answered, angered by the fact that Ein could have been caught on fire by a small mistake. "I assumed the worst because of your clumsy nature, and due to your element. In many cases you create destruction rather than aid someone." Soala said, getting a quick glance at Ein.
The angel, with his bandages replaced by Soala, was now healing by the hands of time. Since time does not speed up or slow down, the two witches left their close angel, to the hourglass. What once started a fight between the two spell casters, became a truths and a friendlier relationship. Cierra and Soala left Ein to his bed, while they return to the world, oblivious to what Ein was going to do.
- - - - -
The witches, Soala and Cierra, left the home, unaware of the events around them. Cierra herself knew a bit about her magical effect on the town of Elendia but thought that it was just a prank, after all this is April Fool's Day. Rose watched from the window above, wondering if the Cierra and Soala would make a great investigation team, or a disaster.
Rose stayed there, sun bathing and watching the sleeping angel. Like his own guardian angel, the familiar stayed and watched him. She knew that yelling at a sleepy person was pointless so she waited until he would recovery. However, she herself also felt sleepy and decided to close her eyes for a few seconds. And that's how she fell asleep, on the window. Before she closed her eyes she saw someone in a dress.
- - - -
Near Fia's and Lina's house, Serene was running into the house with her pink dress. She quietly closed the door and slowly went upstairs. She saw Ein, who was sleeping in his room, and went inside. There she carefully closed the door and locked it. She then sat next to the door, and observed the angel.
A few seconds later outside, Lina, Molan and Gill were following the arc. Lina and Molan pulled Gill, who was still being dragged into the situation.
"Ok, u two sutay heeerre n I'ell sirch four Sharene." Lina said, signaling the other two to wait.
"Butt u doonn't kno da parace." Molan said, taking a step towards the house.
"Wat doo u meen?" Lina furiously responded.
Gill watched as the two argued left and right, attempting to prove that she was right and the other was wrong. Instinctively, Gill didn't pick a side, and stepped away from the two, fearing that a fight was inevitably going to happen. Before he did that, something else came to his mind.
"How about we all go into the house?" Gill announced, introducing his compromise.
The girls quietly accepting, knowing that other person's "proposal" was rejected.
Gill led the expedition team into the house. It would be his first time, entering this rather large house. Gill himself has been around this place a few times but never truly inside the place. Much like a tourist, he looked in awe. Molan and Lina, on the other hand, have been here a few times and followed their objectives. Meticulously, the two started from each side of the living room, and looked at every possible hiding spot.
Lina glanced underneath the bed, near the kitchen, and jumped on it, to ensure that no arc was hiding under the covers. Molan, opened each and every cabinet hoping to see a wing or a scythe. Gill followed suit and walked upstairs, where the bedrooms were. At the junction, he went to the bathroom and saw plenty of shiny surfaces. From the stone sink and shower that shined, to the clean mirror, the room itself stood out from the other places.
To his left was the white stone sink with a wooden mirror on the wall. To the right of that was a cabinet, that was filled with medicine and vials. Atop that medicine cabinet were some simple make ups, some of which were stored in bottles as if they were drinks, rather than something applied to the face. Directly in front of him was the shower, which was probably only used by Ein, since everyone else likes the open space of the Undine Spring. Right of the bath, is the towel rack and a table, probably for holding clothes and a basket filled with dirty clothing.
Gill ran to the shower and slid the cover aside , but no one was there. He jumped in the basket and looked in the cabinet but there was no sign of the arc. Gill left the bathroom, feeling dissatisfied for not seeing anything "interesting" and met the two girls at the junction. They precoded to "break in" and "vandalize" the girls' rooms, hoping to find the arc inside a dresser, a medicine chest or even a jewelery box. Lina's room was the only room not ransacked by the trio and the only room that was "unchecked" was Ein's. Lina formed a fist and moved her hand towards the door but stopped as her eyes shifted onto a sign.
Do not disturb, Ein is injured and resting right now. ~ Cierra
Molan quickly pulled the sheet away from Lina's hands and read it in an instant.
"L-Letsu goo!" Molan said, leading Lina and Gill away from the door.
"Waai?" Lina asked, annoyed by Molan's response.
"Weelllll.... hez prababolee asuleeep n... [4ô]"Lina said, starting to take the first step downstairs.
"Butt dat makez eit evben ezier four uss two fuind Sharene." Lina responded, still wondering why the search ended abruptly.
"Tru butt eits Seaera we r ta king abot. Sea kould habe seat som trayps..." Lina said.
- - - - -
A few days ago, Molan, Gill and Lina were playing tag in front of the Magical Guild. They were playing underneath the crystals, playing dark and seek. Like children, they were free from the experiences of the world around them. Ritz watch the youth play, while he continued mining for his shiny minerals. As Lina was hiding behind a rock, she felt something warm behind her back. She tripped a trap, that Cierra set and forgot and felt its gassy presence. Molan eventually found the orange sprite with a red face, as if she was drunk or hot.
"Lina are you ok?" Molan said, looking at Lina.
She was nonchalance, standing still as if she was a zombie with a warm body and a red face.
"Gill!" Molan yelled out.
Her little brother appeared, and looked at the two.
"I never knew...... you... had that type of...... " Gill started to say, remember what the Elder had in a similar situation.
"Never mind that.... get Claude." Molan yelled out, looking at Lina's face.
The small sprite with a pointy hat ran to the guild.
"What's the matter?" Claude said, focusing on his green potion.
"Molan.... Lina... in trouble hurry." Gill said taking Claude's hand. The druid followed and came to the same conclusion Gill had, when he first saw the two.
Molan was attempting to hold onto Lina was who lying on her body. To Claude and Gill, it looked like there were about to kiss, especially with Lina's red face.
"Geez I though those type of relationships only happen when you've grown."
"Not that... Lina's in trouble." Molan said pointing to Lina's face.
"Ok." Claude said, coming closer to Lina's face. "This smells like... pepper." The druid said sniffing the orange arc.
"CIERRRRRA!" Claude yelled out. There was a cracking sound of glass meeting stone, right after he yelled that. Cierra ran and revealed herself from the darkness, with a stain on her dress.
"What is it [3╬]? You know you don't have to yell." Cierra asked, noticing her stain.
Claude sighed as he pointed to Lina.
"Oh opps." Cierra said, noticing that her trap was set off. "I accidentally placed a pepper spray trap and.... I forgot." realizing that the spray was the least of her worries.
"What did I tell you!? [3╬]" Claude said beginning his lecture. Claude give Cierra another one of her lectures of how important is it to remember what has happened. The druid had to make yet another cure for Cierra's problems, which took only a few minutes. Claude then told Cierra how important it is to take a break a break from time to time and so Cierra left the place.
- - - - -
The trio didn't want to press their luck and left the sleepy angel and their prey Serene. They exited the house and continue their search elsewhere. Cautiously, they leave the building, hoping not to set a trap. From a distance, someone else was watching them. A Harpuia watched the children enter and leave the place and heard everything the loudmouths said.
She overheard the trio, who were looking around for any sign of Serene. Rebecca waited until the trio left. Seconds slowly became minutes, as the Harpuia decided to reveal herself and explore the house. Much like Gill and group, Rebecca was unaware of Ein's presence until she saw his door closed, with a message hanging on the door. Curious, she turned the handle and slid open the door. She saw something pink above Ein's bed and closed the door, as if she expected there was nothing. She stopped herself and went back to the door and opened it slowly, taking in the full image.
- - - - -
A few seconds before Rebecca came and opened the door...
Ein felt something heavy on his stomach. He attempted to roll around, but couldn't. He open his eyes slightly to see a large pink bow. Ein proceeded to close his eyes thinking it was a dream. A few seconds later, his eyes opened completely and he saw that someone was sleeping on his body. Resting atop his body was Serene with, instead of her dark blue cat eyes, was a large pink hair bow. She was still in her pink dress, and see was wide awake watching Ein's face with a smile.
"Good afternoon Ein! [1 ]" Serene said, hugging Ein's body.
"Umm... what are you doing? [4ô]" Ein said with a red face, looking away from Serene's face.
"What do you think I'm doing? I'm waking you up, silly." Serene said, climbing up and looking into Ein's eyes.
Serene never ever uses the word silly ever. Someone or something definitely has taken of Serene. Ein though to himself. Noticing that Serene was approaching his face, he turned the other way. Is this suppose to be some horrible test to see how far I'll go? Must resist the urge to look at all costs. Ein though to himself. This.... must be a trap.
Serene was annoyed to see Ein's hair, as she realized that the "prey" is still attempting to free himself. The predator used her soft hands and "persuaded" Ein. She slid her warm hands on his face and turned it and kissed him.
This is definitely not Serene's doing. Ein though inside his mind. But..... but....its good. If only Serene showed her feminine side more.... what am I thinking!? As Serene released her prey, Ein got a great view of her body. The pink dress accented her curves and revealed more than Ein would ever see of Serene with her usual tomboy clothing. Her loose dress gave Ein the "best" view of Serene's chest, as he quickly glanced away, hoping they wouldn't stay fixed in one spot. There was something about Serene's smile that drew him in.
"I don't mind." she said, giggling. "If its you then, I'm ok with it. [2 ]" Serene said in a voluptuous tone.
This must be a dream..... or Cierra's doing. Well.... there's only one way to find out. Ein though to himself as he freed his hands. Ein's brain sent the message to his hand, which knew precisely what to do. They freed themselves from the blanket and went to her curves. Sliding underneath them, his hand felt their full, bouncy shape. They had their "usual" warmth and voluminous size and they felt very much like they were REAL.
Ein saw Serene's red face, and heard her moan as he realized what he was doing to her. This wasn't some dream.... this was reality..... a twisted one thanks to Cierra.
The sound of the door, striking his wall, alerted him, as he focused on the observer named Rebecca.
This.... this isn't my day is it. Ein though to himself. Especially when you though you were playing with a doll that Cierra had made.
Rebecca's eyes widened as she came to the scene. From her point of view, it looked like Serene was giving herself.... no seducing Ein.
But should I intervene? Rebecca though to herself. Logically one would say yes but..... she didn't knock and was probably disturbing something rather important.
What seemed like a smart joke turned itself into a bizarre reality that surprised everyone, including detective Ein. Luckily for Ein, Rose was still fast asleep, in her dream with cat nip. It seems that everyone was waiting for everyone else to make their move. Rebeeca couldn't decide what to do, Serene wasn't going to leave, at this point and Ein.... was motionless. Except for his hand, which has a mind of its own and is still enjoying the warmth because, Rebecca couldn't see them from her point of view. It seems that April Fool's Day isn't just full of laughs....
What will Ein do know and how will her get out of this situation?

A/N:Spending more time with school so the updates are a bit more spread out. Serene's acting.... is unique and different and from my observations, each chapter is getting longer and thus taking a longer period of time to create. If this does keep up, the updates will take more than a month to complete.
