A/N: Sorry for the late update….was updating stuff on deviantart and I was drawing pics. I really suck at them, but I try. I appreciate all those who read my fanfics, no matter how small or large the number. I'm grateful that you support my stories…XD Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy this and if you can, send me some feedback on how I'm doing...k? Thanks again.

The large snarling creature moved to the side and Flau landed on one knee an a foot where the beast formerly was. A loud 'boom' was heard and then a crash. Flau winced at the sounds before looking up with one eye open.

Cecil stood before the giant wolf chimera with his arm outstretched. The chimera was knocked out cold on the ground. The man turned toward the town behind him with burning eyes. "AIDAN!" he yelled as he marched over toward the Black Rose General Store. The young, red-haired child was crouched with his eyes tightly shut as he covered his head to protect himself. He heard footsteps stop in front of him. He raised his eyes slowly to see his father's angry expression glaring down at his small form. He went back to wincing and covered his head with his hands.

Cecil reached down and grabbed one of Aidan's arms. He dragged him toward the incoherent beast. "Why did you summon this creature, Aidan?" he asked calmly. Aidan didn't answer. His body was shaking and tears were starting to streak down his pale face. "Answer me," Cecil pressed with a tone of commanding.

Aidan's voice shook as tears continued to fall from his eyes. "It was Johan. He said I was stupid and told me that I was useless. He then pushed me against the wall. I got scared…so I summoned Zachery. I only wanted to scare Johan just so he would leave me alone," he said as he broke into tears again. "I didn't mean for it to attack people…I just wanted it to scare him off…"

Cecil's look softened as he looked down at his crying son. He sighed before responding. "It's alright, Aidan, but I believe you should be careful about summoning dangerous beasts. They are too powerful for you to control and when they're set free, they create chaos. If Johan gives you any more trouble, come to me. I'll deal with it accordingly," he said dropping Aidan's arm.

"You're…not angry at me are you?" Aidan asked almost inaudibly.

"I'm not upset at you, however, your actions will be considered. I don't appreciate you acting so rashly. If something is bothering you just let me know, okay?"

Aidan nodded as Cecil walked toward the chimera and placed his hand upon it. It vanished into a mass of tiny sparks. He then walked back inside the institute. Aidan followed with his head hung low.

Flau closed her eyes before leaving the scene. Eon followed close behind. After reaching the path before the shrine, Flau stopped and glanced back at Eon. "Are you going to follow me all day?" she asked with irritation.

"That's what Nyx ordered me to do, Flau. It's my job," he said menacingly.

"You're wasting your time. I'm going to see Kain and that's all there is to it," she said turning back around and beginning to walk toward the shrine again. She went to the Confessional door and entered. Eon followed and stood at the door as she sat down at the chair. He leaned against the wall and removed the cloth from his mouth. Flau crossed her arms defiantly, waiting for Eon to leave. A moment passed and nothing was said. Flau jerked her head towards the purple clad ninja and gave him a glare that would have killed him if it were possible.

He snickered in response. "I thought you were going to speak to your beloved priest, Flau," he said in a taunting tone.

"I am, but I don't want to talk to him when YOU'RE around, Eon," she said firmly.

Eon stepped toward her and bent down to her level. "I think that you're honestly wasting your time. What makes you think that he'd want some dirty, scraggy lowlife like you?"

She fought back the urge to punch him in the cheek. She could cover him in bruises, but she knew she'd never reach his ego. It would be a waste and there would be severe consequences from Void if they found out she was attacking one of the other members. It was funny how Void wasn't afraid to slay their own, but how they wouldn't allow any members attacking its own. The rules were corrupt and it bugged her to no end.

"You should really stop communicating with the priest," he warned. "If the Priest guild found out about the affair, Void would be the target."

"How do you know that? They are a forgiving people and they don't belittle the other guilds!" she argued.

"I know because—" he cut off unable to finish. He looked down with a scowl on his face.
Flashbacks came back to his memory and he clenched both of his fists. "I hate this guild!" he said as he looked up with rage. "I hate all the happy-faced people here that pretend there is nothing wrong in the world! They pretend that they're perfect and spread their crap about justice! I can't stand it!" he slammed his fist down upon the ledge before the window. "I hate how they treat outsiders and how they express false warmth toward those in need of hospitality! I'll tell you what they really are, Flau," he said as his voice rose to even more anger. "They are dirty, selfish, rotten, lying, sons of pigs! They preach about how sins can be forgiven and all the load of crap about worship! I hate them because of their lies! I don't want you to become like them!"

She sat there with her mouth open. The look on her face was filled with pity. "What…," she began almost in a whisper. "What happened to you…? Why do you view them that way, Eon?" She got up from the chair and placed a hand on his cheek. "I'm sure that you would never say something like that unless you had a real reason."

He looked away from her, his eyes narrowed as he pushed the flashbacks of memory from his mind. "Nothing happened!" he said slapping her hand away. "I just hate them!"

"Does my association with Kain really hurt you this much…?" she asked.

"It's got nothing to do with you, Flau! And, no, it doesn't hurt me one bit!" he yelled looking back to her.

"It obviously does if you're this upset about a small affair!" she yelled back.

Eon felt a small tear form and stream down his face. He quickly lifted his hand to brush it away quickly, but Flau caught his hand when she noticed the glimmer from the lantern. She took her own hand and gently wiped the tear away from his cheek. "If you want to say something, just say it. Don't keep it inside because it will hurt you more later if you do," she said looking away, unable to make eye contact from her reddening cheeks.

Before Flau could say another word, Eon pulled her into his arms in a hug. He held her tightly and whispered, "I…think I love you, Flau."

She felt her face redden even more. Eon lifted her chin up and gently pressed his lips to hers. Her eyes widened as his grip loosened and he placed his hand at the back of her head. He broke away and averted his eyes. "Forgive me," he mumbled gruffly as he turned toward the door. "Do what you want. I won't tell Nyx. I only want your happiness," he said as he glanced back before leaving the confessional.

Flau sat down in the chair and brushed her fingers over her lips. That was the second time in two days that had happened. What was worse was she allowed it to happen. She rested her head down upon the ledge before the window and let out a sigh.

"Is it alright for me to speak now?" said a familiar voice which caused Flau's stomach to tighten.

She shot up from the ledge and looked through the small holes of the window that connected the two confessional rooms together. "P-Priest Kain!" she stammered.

"It's alright, Flau. What happened between you and Eon doesn't concern me. I know you'll choose the path that's the best for you," he said calmly. "Is there anything you'd like to talk about?"

"Other than my utter confusion…well, do you know who the true leader of Void is?"

Kain was silent for a moment. "His name is Nyx, right?"

"How do you know?" Flau asked interested.

"The gods tell me many things. They also informed me that you are currently in danger with Void Community," he said.

"Well…I guess I am. I'm not too worried though. Things should level out after a while," she replied calmly.

"If you ever need anything, or require assistance with anything, you know you just have to ask," he said.

"I understand," she said.

"You should be careful. If you're seen around this shrine, it could be detrimental. Stay close to Eon. He'll protect you."

Flau groaned. "I couldn't care less about Eon!"

"I didn't hear you push him away when he kissed you," he replied. "You care about him…a lot quite frankly."

Flau blushed. "I do not!" she yelled.

"It's alright. There's no need to get upset," he said putting a hand up. "For now, I am uninvolved in the situation until things smooth out with Void."

"But…I couldn't do that…" she said.

"If you value your life, Flau, you'll stay away from this shrine," he warned. "Nyx will undoubtedly ask others to keep an eye on you."

"I see," she said. "So…this is goodbye for a while?"

"I'm afraid so, Flau. Please follow your heart and choose the right path," he said.

"But…the right path…does it exist?"

"Of course it does. The right path is what your heart tells you," he said.

Flau looked down. "There are so many things it's saying, but none of them make sense right now," she admitted.

"That's alright. You'll know what the right path is when the time is right," he said walking out of the room.

"Wait! Kain! Don't leave!" she yelled to him. When he did not reply, she slammed her fists down upon the ledge. "I'm sorry…" she uttered. "That's all I wanted to tell you…" she cried.
