Chapter III - Mystery

Hiya everyone~! I'm Marge~ I'm 16 starting today!! Oh~ I'm from Kanavan Academy Class 3-A.

Jin lay in the ground-- blood covering his body. Arme desperately tried to heal him. "Arme...." he said weakly.

"Please!!!! Hold on Jin!" she tried another recovery spell. 'Why won't my spells work!?' she thought frustrated.

Jin placed his hand on top of Arme's. "It's fine Arme...." he smiled. "Take care... of the others.... I...."

Arme's eyes grew wider. "No!!! Don't leave me!!!"

(Marge's POV)

I woke up... I could feel moisture in my face. Is this what Celina always wakes up to!? Oh God... what is the meaning of these dreams? Jin... emperor.... wait-- what did I just say? Ugh... nevermind.

"'if anyone's got those dreams, tell us during our lunch break' huh. Serves me right for saying that." Marge deadpanned.

I don't want to go to school~ Ah! Wait a minute...

I got out of bed and turned on my PC. I searched the net about 'Grand Chase' again.

"Eh? Was this here when I checked yesterday?" I saw a site which held information of the Grand Chase. I read the history of the team.

A group of elite trackers 400 years ago... mysteriously disappeared when they set foot on the Temple of Domination. My eyes grew wide at the next sentence. Presumably dead. No corpse found though.

I scrolled down the site, hoping to find out who wrote it.

I smirked at the name in front of me.

SIEGHART

I printed the history and some things from the site. I was gonna show it to the others during lunch break after all.

I practically ran to school after preparing.

When I was in the hallways towards the classroom, I saw Sei leaning on the wall, his face expressionless.

I passed him, not wanting to know why he was there. I immediately regretted that decision.

"Arme." he said. I turned around, my eyes wide in surprise. He smiled. "You're still the same as before."

"What are you talking about? Who's Arme?" I decided to play dumb. This Sei is really suspicious.

"Ah." Sei blinked. "Sorry! I.... was just remembering the old times." He looked down. "Old times... really old times indeed." he said in a low voice, thinking I didn't hear him.

I decided not to pry and dragged him to the classroom-- saying we'll be late for the class.

I never did like the class- but still I attended them. My status and 2nd would be in jeopardy if I didn't. During the classes, I was thinking of the information I found out earlier and Sei's weirdness.

Who is Seighart really? Is Sei connected to him? Why did he know about Arme? Why did the site suddenly pop up out of nowhere?

I glanced at the printed material. They didn't have pictures, but at least they had descriptions about the Chasers.

There were 9 of them... Elesis, Lire, Arme, Lass, Ronan, Ryan, Amy, Jin, and Mari.

They had different abilities during that time. Be it magic, sword-fighting, martial arts, dancing, transforming, etc.

We already know about 8 of them--- well I mean, I do. The others don't know about Arme and Jin yet. We still don't know who Amy is or if she's related to our group.

Hmm~ I'll think about that later.

I really wonder who this Sieghart is and why he knows so much about the Grand Chase.

If memory serves right, Celina's dream involved Elesis, Ronan and well... Sieghart. Doesn't that mean he's also a Chaser? Why isn't his name on the list?

One more thing I find weird about this whole thing....

How the heck did Seighart write the site in perfect English?

There wasn't an English language perfected 400 years ago!
