Raavi's POV

The beach still bright and sunny, The Bill for the inn just took a toll on the money we had to begin with, I offered some help but Kyiin said he got it covered. Beats me if he doesn't want my help, I am part of this party now…

So we're at the beach a lot of crabs and starfishes started crawling out, within the first few seconds we we're all looking for shade, I guess all of us can't withstand all that heat. So we ran toward the nearest group of palm trees, the first bundle of palm trees we find are all infested with termites, so we have to move, the second one was surrounded by a big number of crabs. So we have to wipe them out, Corelle and I did the job, but Luli came into thinking that since there agasuras as well, they'll just revive and return here, making our effort worthless, So again we move, we we're all thirsty, the heat wasn't any help at all, and the sea a several feet away from us, was saltwater, but very tempting to drink.

"Can't you just open up our water bottle and drink just a bit?" I say

"We're out of water, Raavi" Luli sadly inquired.

Now that's torture, how can we survive the long walk to Atlantis or Ves without any water supply, I know we refilled our supplies before we left, but the water is just gone before I know it.

In our desperate way to find a water and shade, we met a merchant from Ves travelling to Elfa, he was selling supplies and we bought every drop of water he has, however, water prices are high in Ves and Elfa, because they have low supply of it, it cost us a lot again. We promised not to drink all of the water until we get shade. So I drank in a few sips and continue searching for a shade without infestation or monsters.

In our way we found an elevated, grass covered terrain a few feet from the open sea. Underneath was large number of crabs but above the terrain there was a perfect bundle of palm trees, and no monsters, but we have to check termites though.

When we got to the bottom of the terrain, we have to annihilate the enemies in order to pass with ease, Corelle's Aero Slicer, and my Raikiri moves did the trick, We climbed up the elevated terrain using it's rocky sides as leverage to hoist ourselves up, Kyiin was the fastest to climb, and Corelle didn't need to she just floated on top and landed smoothly, while Luli and I we're having a hard time finding rocks that are stable and large enough to support our weight. So we made our way up. The terrain wasn't that big but it was enough to fit all four of us and our tent as well as our stuff.

The shade calm all of us down, and the water made the experience heavenly, it was nearing dusk, we have to start gathering up all of needs for the night, and since I brought the tent, I have to fix it up myself.

We agreed that Luli gather some fruits from the Palm trees and seaside shells that we might cook later. Since my toolbox carries everything they need, I don't want to spoil the journey by giving them all the pleasure of easy work, SO I said I have a stove but I don't matches even if really do.

"Hey Glasses!" Corelle shouted from the distance. I know it was for me, since I'm the only one that wears glasses, though not permanent, I wear it in order to see clearly when I'm fixing my MGs

"Can I borrow a spear?"

"A spear? What would you need that for? You're an Elemental Master you can't use spears." I say confused.

"C'mon I'll just go fishing, fresh fish is better to eat than canned goods you brought along."

"Suite yourself" I say handing a cherry soul spear to her.

She flew at the edge of the beach and walk until she dives down. She hasn't come up for air since her dive, but I knew better than to panic.

Kyiin was in-charge of making fire, since I said I have no matches, he really never asked me again If I was sure I don't have matches, he just sat there devoid of any emotion, trying to make fire, with a couple of palm tree leaves and a flint he found from his rucksack.

After hours of fixing up our tent, since it was huge, it fits all four of us and a place for our belongings too, Kyiin already started a low and steady fire, Luli was back with a basketful of Clams, and oysters.

Corelle already rose up with a big Mackerel fish, and a few little fishes.

The campfire was all set, and all we have to do now is prepare the food, I offered the stove to Luli, since she has experience at cooking; she started to cook the Oysters and clams in the stove.

Corelle took new pieces of palm tree leaves and pile them in another spot, and used her fire element to set it in flames. I just thought of the hours Kyiin spent making fire while Corelle who obviously can do it quicker just rubs his hard work in his face. But he's still devoid of any emotion, and trying to remove the scales of the fishes Corelle caught.

Once completely removed from all the scales, I gave them to Luli with a knife to remove the inside out so we can cook it clean; she did it perfectly and neatly. Corelle found a stick and skewered the fishes and keeps rotating them in the looming fire. By the time they we're perfectly cooked we started consuming them. The first topic was Corelle's boring dive to the sea. Still we pay attention but it isn't getting us anywhere, I know Corelle wanted to ease up the tension and let the others ask about what happened in the pyramid.

"So…" Kyiin mumbled

"About Knowledge, why did she give me back the corrupted items and the music box? But she took the Iris shard we found in Malice's chalice?"

"Because she was entertained" Corelle answered flatly

"Sophia is the mischievous Sorceress of Existence, she controls everything, but recently there have been minor complications on her powers that limit them, by which, I don't know to what extent." Corelle stopped and took a bite off her fish and looked at us, we we're all waiting for the continuation of her explanation.

"She wants to see us more so she gave back the items; you know all she demands is entertainment. If she doesn't get that she'll annihilate us" she stopped again, and took another bite.

"So did anyone of you have something unexplained? I'll try to answer them correctly" she says.

"Well…" Luli whispered, but the silence caused us to hear her quite clearly.

"Cruz just called me the Black Immortal, it just messed me up…" she says hiding her face in her knees.

"Guess they spoilt it already. The Black Immortal along with the White Immortal, geez can't they wait a little longer?" Corelle said under her breath.

"The Immortals are a pair of siblings that are in-charge of scattering the corrupted items and the corresponding Iris shards to the entire World." I say

"Yea basically, the Immortals are trapped in human form, due to Sophia's limited powers; they are formed from the stone of time and space, kept under the watch of Siam Vespucci." Corelle followed

"But when Siam left his Dimension to accompany Iris in her journey, Sophia turn the stone into living people under her command" I say playing with my perfectly cooked Oyster meat.

"So Cruz was right, I was meant to follow her. And I was in total denial." Luli says chewing a small piece of fish meat in her mouth.

"Originally, Sophia wanted only one human to represent the time and space stone in its living form, but it became unstable, so broke it into two, the time shard and the space shard, each given a human form, and so the birth of you and your brother"

"But Cruz said something about messing up in the first seeker. If it weren't happened none of this would've happen."

"Hmm… Don't know anything about that, maybe you can ask Sophia" Corelle implied.

"What? Me? And how am I going to find her?"

"You're the Black Immortal right? Then locate her, she's still in the time and space continuum anyways, she can be found."

"Don't call me that." Luli says quite depressed.

"I think you're awesome Luli even if you're the Black Immortal, you're pretty much the same." Kyiin said breaking the tension.

"Though she isn't human" Corelle said smiling widely

"Way to ruin the moment Corelle" I say

"That's what I do best" she says delighted.

After that conversation, Kyiin was talking about a kid at Toad island again, he said it was supposed to be him, 100 years ago according to Sophia, then the talk went from serious to light, we we're talking about ourselves, Like Luli's addiction to Soufflés and Corelle choices of weapons, It was also discussed if I really need glasses of just for show, the conversation was light and fun, it wasn't so stressful and it wasn't such a burden, We didn't emphasize on Luli being the Black Immortal, but she still acted like herself, as far as I know her.

The Fire soon dim and burned out the food was all consumed and the four of us finally felt the drowsiness of an exhausting day. With that effect we started to gather up the things and went inside the tent.

Our tired backs finally felt the sweet feeling of lying down without any moment sooner I fell to sleep.


Kyiin's POV

We all went to sleep contented that for once this party together acted like it there wasn't any goal to its formation, like it was a simple party without any goals.

I'm sure I'm not getting any good night sleep because I'll go to the graveyard tonight. This thing is making me so tired and stress. Battling while awake and trying to understand nonsense during the night.

As I try to close my tired and stressed eyes to fall to sleep was awakened by a soft rustling in the corner of our tent. Some crab managed to climb to our terrain. It doesn't endanger us, it will just unpleasant for something to pinch you during your sleep.

I didn't move, my body was too weak to; I just look at its silhouette outside our tent, trying to call of some more crabs by the way crabs communicate, a few sounds and the sounds of their pincers repeatedly clashed together.

Then out of the sudden, Corelle who was surprisingly still awake, jumped out of bed and walked right straight to the crab, looking at her silhouette from inside, I see her light the poor creature to flames. She then disappeared from my view. I don't know where she's going but knowing Corelle, she knew I'm awake and she wants me to follow her. Either that or I'm delusional.

So I did follow her, Raavi and Luli are soundly asleep anyway.

When I get out of our tent the gusts of wind contacted with my skin and made me shiver, I never realized how cold it is, our terrain that is elevated made it even colder. I soon became used to the night breeze, and the smell of sea water. I can see a particular pink hair in the seaside, a few feet from our terrain.

I slowly and gently approached her. Not making a sound but my footsteps.

"Couldn't sleep?" I inquired solely

"Don't want to sleep" she answered?

"What makes you like the beach so much?"

"Nothing special, I grew up in this beach." She answered willingly.

"Oh right, you're from Elfa."

Then there was silence, and a very heavy ambience…

"So Corelle, I wanted to ask you about the 4th, Sophia said you we're reconciling a conflict with her"

"The 4th? You mean, Aergia?"

"That's her name? Weird, seems to have a pattern with Malice's name." I said surprised.

Corelle chuckled slightly. "Conflict, yes an unresolved one. I accompanied her when she was a seeker. But I was the cause of her death. Still I'm surprised she doesn't want to kill me."

"What? You we're part of the Iris' seeker party before?"

"That's what I said asshole."

"Why haven't you told us? You can guide us to actually find Iris."

"*sigh* Little Kid, If only you knew" Corelle said walking closer to the waves and sat, she was sitting knees supported by her arms her feet and bottom are being washed by the waves constantly.

"Knew what?"

"I can't help you on your journey, I am merely a simple girl bound to your party and your adventure, I cannot pattern you like the seeker I've been with because you'll die, whether you like it or not, you have to make your choices yourself."

"then tell me something about you, I know a lot about Luli, I talked to Raavi every once in a while, but all I know about you is that you tend to smile to the misery of others"

"I know that, and I don't have to be reminded, so say that again, and I'll rip your throat out." She said arrogantly

"I already told you the other time right? I was born in Elfa, I ran from home and I found your party, END"

"You know what I mean."

"Alright sheesh, I was wandering in the outskirts of Aioch heading my way to Elias, and then Phy tumbled on me, she asked me if I have anything to do and asked me to accompany her to the Dark Moon of 16th day. She was with Raavi and another girl."

'Who's Phy?" I asked

"Phyllis, Phyllis Vera Aergia"

"Anyway, since I had nothing to do, I agreed, there we battled Dark Moon for the same reason you did, Oddly Phy persuaded Dark Moon to join her party and she did. A lot of things happened after that and I don't want to talk about it."

"Wait Raavi was also in the previous Iris seeker party?"

"Don't ask questions that are already answered"

"Raavi is also part of the 4th's party? Then why didn't any of the two of you told me?"

"There are some things in the past that should never be told at all cost."

"And besides I don't like to talk about the past. And so does Raavi"

Again my head aches so bad, I don't have to understand anything in the graveyard, but Corelle's stories made me think I would have been better to be at the graveyard.

"I hate this" she said

"Hate what?"

"That we're talking about me and I'm being a friend to you"

"Aren't you?"

"No. I don't want to friends with any of you. This party will dissolve soon and our friendship will soon be thrown"

"It will just melt away, like a solid iron then put in a hot fire, it will soon melt" She said lighting her finger with a small flame.

"Friendship might melt, but it will also turn back, over and over again. Corelle, Friendship never ends, no matter what happens. It'll melt like you said, but it will turn eventually, with same amount. Just like energy converted to another, it will never cease to transform and then it will return to its original form with exactly the same amount."

"Sure, you say that, Friendship sound awesome, but it will only be a never ending suffering by one from the other"

"And also your girlfriend is behind the palm tree watching us."

I look back Luli was obviously standing there but she isn't moving and she has no intention to, So it's better to just let her be.

"Maybe it's time" Corelle said lifting a giant pendant from her dress, still attached to her neck, the square pendant has aluminum outlines with a big yellow crystal at the middle.

"Don't panic she said, as she removed the necklace from her neck and offered It to me, She suddenly fell down to the sand, I inspected the necklace of what it is, simply a giant pendant necklace.

"Corelle I don't get this." I say but when I looked at her, she's pale and white. Immediately I checked if she's sick or something, only to find it worse. She wasn't breathing at all, she's cold and she has no pulse. I started to panic, but Corelle told me not to. But still I panicked calling out help.

Luli rushed in and checked "I didn't do anything, why is she like that?" I say defensively. "She's dead…" Luli said. "I don't think I can still help her."

Mourning was not a part of my plan in this journey I intend to keep everyone alive, except for me but I can't help the tears running down on my face onto my cold dead friend. "She was fine a second ago! What the fuck happened?" I shouted. "I don't know Kyiin." Luli said despair starting to set into her.

Then Raavi climbed out of the tent and saw the commotion. But instead of being surprised, he just asked me to give him the necklace and put a hand on his face.

"Corelle, your one messed up bitch" He said putting the necklace in his neck. He closed his eyes and his bright purple eyes became bright crimson.

Corelle's body then started to erode, removing the flesh in a very fast rate until only a skeleton stained in red remained. With that event Luli and I are even shocked on what's happening, Raavi doesn't even seem to care about Corelle's death, and then Corelle's voice sounded from Raavi's mouth.

"Fuck you Raavi" Corelle voice who was in Raavi's body sounded again.

"Luli, can you remove the necklace and put me back in that" Corelle's voice said Raavi's body pointing in the skeleton remains of Corelle's body. Luli removed the necklace from Raavi and the crimson eyes turn back to the bright purple eyes Raavi had.

Raavi then grabbed the necklace and put it the rotten corpse. The flesh then started to grew back in a very disgusting and grotesque manner slowly filling every part of the body. Slowly forming her organs, the intestines the liver, the pancreas her lungs and her heart then a fountain of blood spilt through until flesh, again started to cover it. And with a few seconds Corelle's body was restored to her original state.

Her eyes opened. Crimson eyes glare to the three of us. Then she spoke, "I said don't panic"

"Fuck you Corelle" Me and Luli say in unison.

"What the hell are trying to prove?"

"More importantly, What the fuck is that?" Luli shouted on all three of us.

"Corelle, seriously, your one messed up bitch for doing that"

"Your body could have turned to ashes before I can get out of my good night sleep; you know I'm a heavy sleeper."

"I got all of you down here right?"

"What the fuck?" I say to her.

"C'mon she said as she lay down on the sand and tapped the sides signaling we join her in her new found sand bed.

Raavi joined in and laid down beside Corelle and held her hand. I scratch the back of my head and gave a slight shrug then I also laid down in the sand which was soothing, Luli did the same too, laying down beside me, Corelle held my hands and I held Luli's.

"Hey Kyiin, When we get there, I want you to figure out the paper you found in the hallway. Try to think WHO it is" Corelle said and as she shifted her head to face the stars I did so too, Luli has a worrying face marked on her. "You know, if you think about your problems it will only become a problem. Try to relax a bit" I say encouragingly to her

She only gave a slight nod and shifted her head to the stars. This might be only the start of our journey.

All of us eyes closed and waves washing our bare feet in unison fell to sleep all of us holding hands together. Forever we Melt and Turn.

"But I still didn't know what you just did." I say to Corelle beside me.

"Shut up your ruining the moment. I'll tell you later. Just go to the hallway." She deviously said to me eyes closed

How does she know I've been dreaming of a graveyard with a hallway, I haven't told anyone that.

~The Graveyard~

Drifting feeling, again was felt, I am headed to the graveyard. Corelle already made my head hurt, and now the graveyard will give more stuff I cannot understand.

For now all I'm thinking is that why did Corelle rot when we removed her necklace, why did her voice came from Raavi when he wore the necklace. Corelle raised so many questions Who is she, how did she made the 4th die? Why does Raavi again became mysterious to me? Luli made some questions too. Like what does her brother mean when he said they failed at the first.

"Ahhhh!" I screamed "My head hurts"

Then waves are heard, the drifting feeling was gone.

I was lying on the beach beside me was Corelle and Luli, Raavi was beside Corelle.

We went to the graveyard together?

Corelle started to wake up. "I guess we're here. C'mon let's not waste the night." Corelle said excitedly

Luli eventually woke but Raavi wouldn't, Corelle dumped a huge amount of water to wake him up. Corelle then manipulated the water to dry out a fully awakened Raavi.

We made our way from the beach. Symphony was still sitting there. Through the forest, the vast plain was there, Malice in the middle, eating a chockfull of red fruits. The 4th named Phyllis Vera Aergia or as Corelle calls her, Phy was then found atop some piled up graves reading some sort of book. A row of dead trees are now our route. Luli, holds on my arm, she says she hates the place getting creepier and creepier as we head deeper. A vague figure sits atop a dead tree, no matter how hard I try to look at the figure I can't see her well. It was covered by the shadow of the tree, which is interesting because it is night here, there should be no shadows, and the moon isn't in view. Luli fear crept through me, When I was alone I walk this path alone but I never seem scared, it didn't seem real, but now I'm with my teammates it felt real.

After minutes of walking with mine and Luli's hearts beating fast in fear, we reached the graveyard. The hallway to the right and the court at the left. Corelle dragged Raavi to the court.

"You two check out the hallway. Remember what I told you."

Right I have to discover who is the fifth seeker today.

Luli and I entered the hallway. The huge sound of the door made the hallways, candles to light up, clearing the view to the double doors at the far end.

"What is this place? I don't like this anymore. I'm dreaming right?" Luli asked tightening her grip on my arm.

I ignored the pain "Yeah, you're dreaming, it'll be over soon"

"Symphony?" I call out "Malice?" I shouted, it echoed back and forth at the hallway. Symphony and Malice aren't here.

"Who are those?" Luli asked.

"Previous Iris seekers, Symphony resides in the pitcher and Malice in the chalice. I've been dreaming of this place every night. I have conversations with them. Once the hallways shatters, we will wake up." I say

"Ahh. If it isn't the cute 6th seeker. and you brought some friends." Malice said sitting in one of the tables.

"Black Immortal, pleasure to meet you, I am Adephagia, the 3rd seeker." she says

Luli backed a bit and held my arms even more tightly.

"I didn't know you take such a cute child's form."

"Stop it Malice. Don't call her that, she has a name." I say arrogantly

"Look who's so tough now?" Malice smiled. "I sense an increase in heartbeat and your pupil's, their dilated.

"Where's Symphony?"

"So anxious to see the flirt? There has been a summons, an order for us to appear at the court. Symphony will be there. I was just on my way." She said, waving a letter in her hand, her red corset with red matching puff out dress, never fails to make me awe in her taste of fashion, especially when she carries that scythe is such a delicate manner.

""she" said that you need this" She adds giving me the paper that I read before.

"Who's "she""

"Figure it out, that paper gives you all you need."

"I don't know anyone who is a fallen angel, that has been feasted with the devils." I say.

"Really? Think about it, an angel has wings. Who has wings?"

Wings, wings, wings… wings… wings… Then I snapped but it still doesn't make sense why?

I looked at Luli, she just figured it out too.

"Corelle." I say flatly.

"But how, why, when?" I asked.

"Corelle… such deceitful people just like Phy, magical winged people are all deceitful" Malice sighed

"It could be the 4th, you said she has wings too." Luli said.

"Could be, we'll find out later." She says as she walks away waving her hand.

"What do those papers mean?" Luli said.

"They tell who is the Iris seeker, and this one is marked. "V""

"Fifth." She says blankly.

"Corelle is the fifth seeker? It can't be, she was with the fourth, how long was the gap between the seekers. I don't know, I didn't ask anyone, This is insane, Corelle is the fifth seeker all along? Why didn't she told me, is that why she knows a lot about the seekers, why she hates Dark Moon Princess and Chon Palm, and why she knows Knowledge?" I started talking to myself, pressing my hands along with my Gulliver gloves in both my temples in trying to clasp the idea.

"Kyiin…" Luli said as she held my arms and lowering my deranged hands from the head, with the tendency to crush it, my world is spinning I'm getting dizzy, this is too much now."

"Kyiin… remember what you told me before we slept?" she said.

"Don't think about it, let it go for a while, it will all make sense one day."

She's right I getting delusional, Sophia started it, and Corelle followed, I am slowly being tortured by the information they want me to learn, at the end I will be insane if I don't follow Luli's advice.

Luli and I walked towards the court, They are all there, Sophia even the 4th, they will all be there.

We made our way to the large hallways of the court, as I said they are complete. Symphony was in the jury box, Malice, the 4th Phy, Raavi and Corelle seated as the court clerk, which was weird for that day I went here before, I say the court clerk to be a short blonde haired girl, Corelle has long pink hair. It doesn't add up.

Again I was the lawyer, and seated right next to the accused which was played by the 4th, The defendant guy was missing, and Sophia hasn't arrived yet, bells rung and she materialized and right beside her, is Luli's brother, the guy who manipulates time, White Immortal is it? Or Clear immortal, just... there is a immortal after a color.

"I told you we'd meet here." the 4th said.

"Yes you did, Ms. Phyllis Aergia."

She chuckled "Hoho, I haven't introduced myself and you already know me, Corelle's been pretty talkative huh"

"About Corelle." I started

"You figured out she was the fifth seeker haven't you?"

"She really is."

"Phy, can I call you that?" I asked shyly

"Everyone does" she says blankly,

The fourth wore a simple a very revealing school attire, like a school uniform for a top, with a matching bow tie attached inner white shirt, her vest bright green with golden buttons, a very short skirt, more like a thigh high skirt, and a up to knee socks with perfectly matching brown shoes, though this wasn't what she wore that day we met at the pyramid, I'm sure like Corelle she has a wardrobe. Also brightly blonde shaggy hair is tied at the back. She has a weird headband with 2 green matching horns as décor for her head.

"If Corelle was a seeker, then why is she with you?"

"A prison of time." She says

'Please do explain" I say dumbfounded.

"We the seekers are not limited to stick to one time-space frame, we can generally move to one frame to the other, Symphony did that as well. On my way to travel to another frame, with the loss of all my party members, I headed for Corelle's frame, With the help of the 2 immortals and Sophia, I was able to get to her, and combine our journey to one, of course time-space will be distorted afterwards, so we must come with a end result to lead the next frame, altering its pattern. Sophia asked you how can 6 seekers actually fit in the time frame between Iris' journey and the seeker each, and because of Sophia and the immortals' interference with fate. The seekers have been trapped in a certain time frames where they enact their story, therefore, I am saying that some seekers already started their journey even before Iris was actually born and ventured to darkness."

"Some seekers already ventured before Iris was born…" I say flatly.

"Does that mean we will never age until we reach the end of our limited frame?"

"It doesn't lock us out of the time itself so we still age. But I do not know what will happen after our limited frame of time ends. Space cannot exist without time. There our world will end as the time end as well."

I became relieved at the first answer; I really thought I was a hundred and sixteen years old already

"Corelle told me you were with Raavi, but you said you lost all your party members." I asked

"Corelle, always switch up the stories to cover the truth, she is deceitful, She was the one with Raavi and persuaded Dark Moon Princess to join us." She answered

"Also Corelle told me she was the reason for your death."

"And she will also say that some things should never be spoken of again." she says wittingly, with a deceitful look on her face.

"I… I'm sorry" I say frightened.

"Though I do wish you get your memories back, I and Malice miss you already."

"What?"

"Find it out soon"

Please stop this madness now.

Bells rang again; Sophia hammered her gavel and catches everyone's attentions.

"Today's demands will be special, it will be from the latest seeker, the Maker of soil, Kyiin, the Sixth seeker shall act as the accused and defend his sins, for atonement and a wish."

Sophia started sorting out papers and documents. "It seems that sins you commit are still in the minority and uninteresting to defend. But as the Judge the Jury must agree with me." Sophia shouted.

"Ms. Alastair if you please give your verdict?" The Judge uttered

"No trial and case?" Symphony asked and looked at me with grief and anger at the same time.

"Guilty anyway!" she shouted.

"That is not fucking fair! I don't even have an accusation and your punishing me?" I shouted.

"Shut it" Sophia said.

"I could even accuse you of something." I shouted to her. The entire court member faced towards me.

"I'll accuse you of attempted murder and theft!"

"Oh will you now?" Sophia uttered

"I think it will be a poor accusation, you are accusing the judge, the only judge." She said maniacally.

"It won't matter, this was suppose to a journey to find Iris, and what is it become a collection of dreadful items and sins, nothing more, I'm not getting anywhere near Iris, the more I see any of you seekers I am just reminded of death."

"Perhaps you don't grasp the idea, Oh my throat hurts, and please Interpreter, explain." The judge said.

Raavi started to pace the well.

"You see Kyiin, when Iris defeated the agasura king; she did it with a sacrifice, her life. Her soul however was preserved, and her deeds where scattered, the deeds became the corrupted items, and her soul resides in the 7 pieces f necklace, her memories lie in different items and humans that she made contact with, giving them a special attribute to view part of Iris's life."

"Your goal as seeker is to collect the deeds and her soul and reunite it back together and transfigure Iris back and save the world from the Agasura king again."

"I thought Iris was alive." I asked

"She is alive, in a form you will not believe, but Iris will never be released until the her deeds and soul are cleansed from evil" Symphony said

"And the cleansing has to done outside the boundary of time and space, inorder to get rid of the evil that tainted them. And never taint the world again." Corelle added.

"But that is not why we come here Sophia" Corelle shouted at the Judge, The Judge smiled.

"Then tell us Fifth seeker. Do you wish to die again at the hands of the origin?"

"Tell us where have you hidden the shard of Malice?"

"Oh that." She said uninterested and threw a piece of paper in the well. Luli picked it up and gave it to Corelle.

"This is simple, I thought you wanted entertainment." Corelle said to her.

"Oh I'm sure with the Black Immortal and the Dumb with you, Entertainment will follow. Goodluck psychotic bitch." Sophia said as she walks down the stairs to the back door of the court along with Luli's brother.

"Big sister Luli, I wish you luck wherever you go, I will always be there to protect you though I doubt you'll need me" Luli's brother said.

"Cruz, when I see you again, let's play your favorite game." Luli said, Cruz's face lights up as he heads toward the door.

"Though you haven't collected me, I will be present at Siam's Dimension where Sophia resides in. You can always ask me anything." Phy said to me before exiting the court room. It seems that Phy and Malice are the only seekers nice to me.

"The small paper contains the words, "The Dark Flames and the Dark Tunnels." Raavi said

"It some sort of riddle of puzzle, Sophia likes this stuff." Corelle replies

Luli examines the paper, "it's torn from a larger paper." She says.

"When we find all those papers, we can solve Sophia riddle and find the stolen shard?" Raavi asked.

"Pretty sure" Malice says "Sophia gives riddles but never lies about them."

"Oh I almost forgot, Symphony approached us and put in our necks a noose tied ropes that are roughly cut at the end and wore it in our necks. "Remember that these noose is the only thing that can kill you" she says darkly and leaves the room.

"It means only you can kill yourself" Malice says, she's a weirdo too.

"Corelle why didn't you tell us you are the fifth seeker." I questioned her calmly, but a tone of anger

"As I said there are some things better left unsaid, you can always kick me out of the party, or just figure it out on your own and don't blame me for your failures." She said

I nodded. "Also" she added 'The Black Immortal you must train and master your abilities to manipulate space, we can use that"

Luli nodded, "I will… I won't disappoint you"

"Luli's back or changed?" Corelle asked.

The court shook and finally shattered. We where all peacefully drifting in the darkness when the waves wash our faces wide and awake.

"Awwwww!" we all say in unison.

"Corelle, why the hell do you want us to sleep at the sea side, the tides will get bigger." Raavi shouted

"I wanted to share some view with you guys."

Corelle manipulated the water and dried us up as we head back to the tent.

When we get back to the ten all of us are too tired to talked about what happened or maybe I was the only one who had that dream, but in the end.

I didn't get to ask Corelle why did she rot when we removed her necklace.


NO Corelle and Luli POV this time, they have unstable minds.

I'll take a break for a while for Chapter 12, so the update won't be fast.

Corelle=5th seeker, told you it was obvious. xD (Elemental Master)

Phyllis is the name of the 4th seeker, Originally it was only Vera Aergia. but I needed a name that sounds kind and warm-hearted. (Gunslinger/Duelist)

The time-space thing will be explained some other time. as well as the rotten body of Corelle incident.
