Chapter 17 Aina Side: The Lethal Edge
Solica: Hello everyone! Good day to you all~
Aina: Good day? It has been half a year since you last update and you just said 'good day'!
Solica: Uuuu~ *hides behind the sofa*
Aina: Stop pretending like Aira and come out before I kill you! *cast 'Water Spear'*
Solica: Okay, okay! Don't kill me or I won't update for a long time again!
Aina: *make the 'Water Spear' disappears*
Kyrie: What? You forgive her Aina? I think you're too soft~
Aina: K-Kyrie! What are you doing here? And where is Canus?
Kyrie: Solica never update my story, so I don't have anything to do and decided to go here. About Canus... Let's just say that I almost killed him today... *evil smile*
Aina: *sweat dropped* You're evil...
Kyrie: Yes I am~
Solica: Girls... Let's start this story or the reader will get bored...
Kyrie & Aina: Yahhooo~
Solica: This chapter happened at the same time when Aira got her second job. I separated Aira's second job advance, it will be next chapter (sorry)
Solica: *get stabbed by Kyrie's knife and Aina's water spear*
Disclaimer: I do not own Grand Chase. I only own my OC and this story. Some of the OCs here are not mine =3 (Yay! I manage to get this shorter)
Aina POV
She's here! How did "she" find Aira!
I got very shocked until I failed to notice that I have a companion.
"Aina? Are you alright?" Selena shot me a worried glanced.
"Huh? Uhh... Sorry, I just remembered something"
Something very dangerous to be exact...
I could see through Aira from time to time, but Aira herself never notice this.
And I don't think she ever realized that she can do the same to me.
"O-Oh... I see..." The angel girl then turned around to face her boyfriend (I think they are a couple) and that's when I noticed something black under her white wings. It looks fluffy and soft...
"Selena" I called to get her attention.
"Hmm?"
"What is that black thing under your wings?"
She and Zeta exchanged glance for a moment and then she smiled.
I saw the black thing flinched and then grew wide at the same size of her white wings.
"This is my second wings. Is it that weird?"
Selena POV
I trembled when I asked the question.
Clutching my skirt nervously, I kept my head down.
I'm too scared to gaze at that beautiful snow colored eyes.
"Eeek! An evil being! Stay away from me!"
"Go Away! You only bring misfortune here!"
The bad memories started to invade my mind and it still hurt a lot...
This crow-like wing...
Even if I'm part of the Chase, some people still cannot accept what I really am.
I'm Lucifer...
An angel who betrayed Heaven...
A sign of misfortune...
Zeta POV
I really, really hate this.
Selena always felt shattered and heartbroken when someone starts this "black wing" problem.
Putting a hand over her face, I can see that she started to weep silently in the middle of this semi-wide room.
Why Aina did have to start this topic? What did she want?
I swear... if she's going to hurt Selena, I will-
"It's beautiful..."
What?
Upon hearing the short words from Aina, Selena raise her head almost immediately.
"What did you just say... Aina..?" She asked, her voice shaking.
"Huh? I said your black wings is beautiful"
Selena wiped away tears from her eyes before hugging Aina while I remain still in my chair, smiled at the scene in front of me.
Seeing Selena smile made me happy for some reason.
Selena POV
How can I say in this moment? I'm very, very happy! No one ever said that to me except Zeta!
I kept hugging the white haired as she cried out for me to let go of her.
Thrashing about, she waved her hands in front of her to stop me from getting close to her before pointing a finger at me.
Aina growled cutely and that made me giggle a little.
"Okay okay! I know you're happy, but no hugging, alright? NO HUGGING!"
She blushed hard and I can't help but to attacked her with a panda hug again.
"Ahhh~ You're so cute, Aina"
"Gah! I said NO HUGGING! Zeta! Help!"
After Aina's screaming of help, I felt a pair of arms around me which took me away from Aina.
"That's enough Selena. She didn't like it"
Zeta drags me away from the white girl and I pouted.
Aina POV
"Umm... Anyway... Do you have something else to do besides being here with me?"
Hearing my words, the couple stopped their activity.
"It doesn't mean I don't like you two, but I just..." What should I say to them?
Selena took this chance to approach me again. Her hand brushed against my long hair to comfort me. It's warm and relaxing yet very alien to me.
What's with this feeling?
"We have another thing to do, but... when I saw you collapse in the middle of the street like that... I'm like seeing Zeta in the past"
Glancing at the red haired boy, I notice that he was staring on the wooden floor. His deep black eyes filled with both sadness and regret. It almost looks like he's having trouble to not to cry in front of me.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to make you sad like this" I closed my eyes and mouthing my apologized.
? POV
Somewhere near the inn 5 minutes later...
Hmm... I don't think I'll be able to find my Calamity soon.
I avoid the crowd of people around me and move toward the huge Serdin Castle. A few children bumped into me along the way, but I pay it no mind.
I think it has been... two months? Yes two months since I last saw the Grand Chase. I heard they have a new member. I wonder what kind of person he/she is...
"Kaistern? Is that you?"
I turned around and saw Zeta who was standing in front of the inn's entrance. He looked the same from the last time I saw him.
"Zeta? What are you doing here?" I opened my hood, revealing my face to him.
Zeta rolled his eyes.
"Let me guess... Something unexpected happened when you wanted to report your mission?"
"Yeah... you know... that Selena..."
"I HEARD THAT!" The Lucifer girl came out from the inn, pouting. Behind her followed a white haired girl who wears white frilly dress. This is the first time I see her, but I can sense that she's not 'normal' Her eyes is white, almost as white as paper. I never saw anyone who has white eyes like that.
"Hello Selena" I greeted her shortly and she replied me with a smile.
"Kaistern! Long time no see, how was your journey? Did you find your blade?" She asked me, her white wings flapped excitedly on her back. Still hiding her black wings I see.
"Not yet, I didn't find any clue about my Calamity"
"That's too bad..."
"Hmm... By the way who is she?" I pointed to the white girl. She found the floor more interesting than our chat.
Both Selena and Zeta explained to me what happened. The girl, Aina's expression remains unchanged. She glanced at me once in a while and it's bothering me a bit.
Aina POV
This person... He reeks of death how creepy...
Anyway what's with that I-don't-care attitude? If he wants to know me then talk to me! I can talk, I'm not a puppet!
"Aina?"
Speak of the devil.
"Yes?" I replied to the man... What did Selena called him again? Cashern? Cotton?
"I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself earlier, my name is Kaistern. My job is Lethal Edge" The black haired man offered his right hand to me for a handshake.
"It's okay, I'm Aina Marie Valence. My job is... uhh... I think you can call it Water Mage" I accepted his handshake. His grip was firm, he must be quiet strong.
"A Water Mage? You must be very strong then. Are you Grand Chase's new member?"
That's not the answer I expected from him.
"Sorry? What do you mean by that?"
Kaistern stares at me for quite a long time. I don't know if he noticed that I didn't like the topic or not. It's hard to guess what he's thinking right now, he has almost no expression at all.
"WHATTTT? A WATER MAGEEE!" Selena suddenly shouted very loudly, it makes us become a center of attention in the middle of crowded street.
"Shhh! Selena, keep your voice down!" Zeta covered his couple mouth, but it didn't stop her from stopping.
"Aina, Aina~! Show me your power~ I want to try fighting you~"
"But I-"
"Oh! We should go somewhere safe... Let's go!" Selena hug me and before I react, she carried me somewhere with her wings. I see that she still uses her black wings to fly.
But that's not the real problem...
Zeta POV
"Selena!" I shouted to the platinum haired girl, but she's already too far to be able to hear me.
That girl... Now what should I do to stop her? It will be hard to stop her when she's like that.
"I see that girl of yours doesn't change at all..." Kaistern said to me with a smirk that makes me blushed hard.
"Kaistern! Since when are you learning to tease me?"
"Hmm... I wonder when..." He rolled his eyes and pretends to think.
Damn him. He started to act like this after he met with 'that girl'. There's still no proof if that girl is Freya or not, but Kaistern one hundred percent sure she is her.
"Anyway Zeta, you noticed that she's a demon right?"
"Yes, of course I know. Why?"
"I"ll tell you later..."
"Whatever... Let's move before we lose them"
At this, Kaistern agree with me and begin to chase the girls.

Solica: No I'm not! Anyway I repeat, what's with the silence?
Kaistern: This chapter...
Kyrie: Felt so...
Aina: AWKWARD!
Solica: Ugh! *An arrow with "Awkward" words stabbed through the chest*
Kyrie: And the POV is too much.
Solica: Gah! **An arrow with "Too much POV" words stabbed through the chest*
Aina: Explain!
Solica: T-That's because... there aren't many people in this chapter, so... I decided to give them a lot of roles...
Kyrie: *stabbed Solica with knife again*
Kaistern: I don't think I have many roles here...
Solica: Your author, ChaosSeeker didn't respond my call and your personality is so hard to describe. I hope it's not wrong.
