Party party party chapter 10.

"Asutoriddo was always caring. She looked out for everybody. Even for the ones that didn't need help. Even for me."

Mariah stares at the person in front of her. She cannot help but admire the strength of Raven.

"Tell me about your training at Eisweiss. Please." Raven nods. "Eisweiss, I remember clearly. Just like it was yesterday. The first day I stepped into the world of Spies."

Flashback

Raven, only ten years old, steps inside the great building. 'It is big, just like mother said. She also said that I should be careful.' She looks around the place, waiting for someone to show up. 'I wonder why she wanted me to be careful.'

A man walks towards her. "You are Raven?" Raven nods. "Yes I am Sir." He nods. "Come with me."

They walk in a long hall. There are so many doors, Raven is afraid she would get lost. They walk up a couple of stairs.

"This is your room. Next to your room there are the rooms of your teammates, Swan, Eagle, Phoenicia and Black-bird. They will arrive tomorrow. Make yourself at home. You are expected tomorrow at eight. In the morning. Please be awake a half hour before that." The man opens her door and lets her into her room.

"I see you tomorrow, sleep well."

End Flashback.

"And then I met my teammates. I couldn't believe at first how young they were. I mean, look at Black-bird. She is now ten. And when she first came to Eisweiss she was four. Can you believe that? Such a young girl."

Mariah nods again. "It must have bin awful." "Well, sometimes, but not every time. You see. We were trained, yes indeed. But there was enough food, you could study. You weren't beaten. They didn't expect you to do something perfect. Well, they did, but only if you were a member from me." Raven smiles at the memory. "My team was perfect. It was well balanced. We were perfect. I was."

"What did you learn during those days? Sorry if I am rude." "You may ask, I will answer. We were trained…well let's say we know tons of material arts and, in Black-bird's case, we know everything about bombs and computers. We can copycat everybody. And our weapons are the best and we can handle them. My Saturé, look, it contains all the seven elements. Fire, Ice or water actually, Earth, Air, Energy or electricity or thunder, Darkness and Lights. I can command those elements. I can even command them in my beyblade, in my bitbeast."

"What is the name of your bitbeast?"

"Morrigan. It is the name of the Goddess of Death and Rebirth."

"May I ask you another question?"

"Sure."

"Well, I noticed that your teammates were called after bird names. Why isn't Asutoriddo called like a bird?"

"She is. Let me starts from the beginning. When Asutoriddo joined us, there were six girls. We had six elements. Swan was Water. Eagle was Earth. Phoenicia was Fire. Black-bird was Energy. I was Darkness. Asutoriddo was the Light. And because we have al bird names and bird bitbeast, we also had Air. Asutoriddo was called Pigeon. A pigeon is the bird of god. She, the pigeon, was the one on the Ark of Noah who brought back a piece of some sort tree."

(It was something like that, I am not a Christian, though I was raised as one, so please don't shout at me when I am wrong. Ow and I don't want anybody to feel angry about this, I do not want to hurt anyone's feeling)

"She was the Light, and that is why I don't understand she left. Whit her, our team was completed. When she left, I stopped calling her Pigeon and the Light. When she left, everything changed. When she left, nothing was the same anymore."

Mariah finds it uncomfortable to sit down. She wants to get up and hug Raven closely. But she can't move. She is too shocked.

"Do you have another question?"

"Yes I do. How can you move so fast?"

"It is a mater of appearing and disappearing. It has to do with the powers of Morrigan. I can appear and disappear when ever and where ever I want. And I can do magical things with Air. Swan can do that with Air and Water. Eagle can do that with Air and Earth, Phoenicia with Fire and Air and Black-bird with Air and Energy. And Asutoriddo can do it with… well…Air and… I can't explain it. But she… has a sort of Aura around her… It makes people trusting, they trust her."

Mariah nods in understanding. "Do you get it Mariah? I live in a dangerous world. Not only with Beyblading, but also with other tings. Why do I tell you this?" Raven thinks for a moment. She sits next to Mariah on the bed. "I feel like I can trust you." Mariah looks at her and smiles. "Thanks for trusting me Raven."

'Raven has such beautiful eyes and hair. I really …I cannot say like her, it goes deeper. It goes beyond that feeling maybe. I want to protect her, even if I can't.'

Mariah moves towards Raven and looks into her eyes. Her beautiful eyes. Raven looks back. They bend their head towards each other and then their lips meet.
