Asteroskopeum

It was dark and scary but the thought of Kaede being under this awful spell made her fearless so it didn't matter to her if it was late…or if that place they were standing in front of looked as creepy as hell. Nefeli of course made her family's driver take them to the tower it would be painfull-no! just the thought of it made her lose her breath- to walk to get there. The building was expanding towards the sky; intimidating, and Anis had to stretch her neck to see all of it. Way to go!...hope my height phobia won't kick in yet.

The heavy wooden door crackled at the opening only to reveal the stony stairs that were winding up to the top of the observatory tower. It was cold and it looked like no one has been there in a long time. They climbed the stairs all the way up, to get on a room with a sole but huge window. The starry night and the moonlight made their task easier, allowing them to see clearly what was in the room. A big dusted telescope was pointed at the sky and on the tables a chaos of papers and folders made Anis think that this place was abandoned for, at least, about ten years.

The goldish-brown haired girl scanned the room with her investigation strings.

'Nothing here…nothing here…' she continued searching for something that would help her.

The pinkette got some of the papers on the table taking a look at them. The facets of the moon were displayed and some digits were written under the pictures with scribblings. Sure those were hard to read…

'Gotcha!' snapped Nefeli a little smirk on her face.

'What? What did you find?' Anis's heart skipped a beat and she let the papers slip from within her hands.

He was just minding his own business, taking a night stroll and getting at the roof of the observatory tower ,as he always did when there was a full moon. He enjoyed its light, and moon was the most magnificent thing about night, that drop of beauty in the darkness he liked to call natural environment. The fresh air was good for him sometimes, allowing him to calm and think a little. And yet then, in the only time of the day that he could be relaxed she goes out in the night wandering in a tower that has been deserted years now, not even giving a second thought at the danger she could get in. Tsk…that idiot… he jumped at the huge window.

She was about to tell Anis about what she had found but then she saw it…A black cloak winnowing, two blazing eyes and the man that landed graciously at the window sill. At the beginning she thought he would be some kind of enemy but then recognised Anis's black knight.

Yeah it was that gal again…Anis was passing a lot of her time with that girl lately and Mutsuki was far from liking her…she had something eerie in her aura that was telling him to stay away from her…Don't know something too…luminiferous. Some kind of despise for her nature…pushing him as far as he could go. Like the two poles of a magnet, so opposite from him he found her-negative and positive energy- But on the other hand, something pulled him closer at the same time-the way she seemed so familiar. But now he couldn't concentrate at so trivial things. His dominion was taken out at the dead of night, regardless of what might happen to her. Yes he was furious.
He stepped on the floor, his feet making no sound whatsoever.

'What were you thinking bringing her here in the middle of the night?' he turned to the girl next to his Domina, eyes fierce.

The red eyes fixing her wouldn't scare her. She knew all too well what he was and she wouldn't respond his gaze with surprise or fear, her glimpse clear and stable, strong to the contact.

'None of your business!' she spat.

'None of my business? What if something bad happened?' his voice getting louder at every word.

'Don't yell at me, and she can protect herself…besides if she was in danger she would just kiss the card and you'd be here in no time…' she snapped her fingers '…plus making a more fancy entrance.' her sarcastic tone made him want to…to send her flying on something…make her suffer in some fucking way.

'You drag people down with you just for the sake of having fun?' he gritted his teeth.

'We here for business…no! actually I am here to help Anis out and you are not making it any easier!' she shouted.

'You have no trace of intelligence…' he was scarily close, a threatening glare on his face.

'And you're a jerk with a stick shoved up your ass…' she smiled politely.

'Let's see if you'll be able to talk after I'm done with you…' he squinted.

'Oh really, then let's introduce our selves before taking our relationship at this whole new level. You sure you wanna move so fast…I mean you don't even know my name…' she shrugged.

She was still mocking him but he was dead serious about his threat. Did that lower form of life know what she was getting herself into? How could she look at him this way, not wavering her gaze and be…Fearless…Yes that was the word he was searching for.

Let's change that, shall we?

'I am going to kill you…' he threatened

'Let me see you try!' she raised an eyebrow.

'Hey guys, relax…Nefeli we are here for something important remember?' Anis got in the middle, separating them.

Mutsuki turned to her, finally backing off.

'If something were to happen to you…'

'If something were to happen to you, If something were to happen to you…nya nya nya…' Nefeli repeated his words in a high pitch voice, making fun of him.

Weren't it for Anis he would have slapped her so bad...but he could not bring himself to really hit a woman…maybe just a little, he would be gentle…really…only one blow or two to relieve this anger, boiling in him right now.

She could really go on with her life not having this encounter at this point. She would just let out her strings and…that freaking dog would be taught a lesson, and she would definitely kick some respect in him.

'Guys knock it off…' Anis placed a hand on Nefeli's shoulder. The other girl turned to her and nodded positively.

'You are right,it doesn't worth my time…There behind that rock…if you pull it out of the wall…behind it there is something with, I don't know, magic powers.' She wrinkled her nose and pointed at it.

The two girls walked towards it and then tried to move it. Nothing happened.

'He he…Mutsuki…could you please…you know, help a little?' Anis said smiling awkwardly.

'Hmhp' he shot her a glare but finally pulled the rock away for them.

'Thank you…see it's not that hard being polite…' Nefeli patted his shoulder and he tensed slightly under her touch.

'Do not touch me…' he seethed and walked away.

'Geez, I do not know how the hell you put up with him Anis!' she gave an admiring look at her friend.

'What are those?' The pinkette asked taking in her hands a map and a little chest.

'There is a letter in here…' she took out the paper and started reading out loud.

Dear guardian,

If you are reading this Triantafillon must have been stolen and you are on a quest to find it, or at least reverse the magic that has been done. You have thirty days until the next full moon that will render the spell permanent. Your tasks have been planned very carefully so as no one else but a pink rose would be able to find the solution in the problem, are based on your measured abilities and will make the way towards the thing that will dispel the magic hard and hazardous. There are four letters that combined let you know exactly what you need to do to bring your mission to an end. The map will lead you to the objects, every time you pass a stage the X is going to move to the next location you need to go. No stage can be skipped. Pay attention to this: the objects won't be given to you if you are not the ones that have fought and defeated the chosen keepers. The first clue lies within the box you are holding. You must break the code for it to open, after this the first spot will be revealed to you by the map. Strictly follow what instructions are given to you in every step.

Good luck.

The blond girl gazed the box in Anis' hands. The code they needed to break was one with letters thing was sure:

They had serious work to do.
