We make it to Grand Chokmah to see a blonde girl waiting for us by the Albiore. She runs right to us.
"The others are waiting at Baticul, if we hurry we could make it in the afternoon." Noelle says while letting us get on.
"I remember being on here…" Florian says, the little boy by his arm.
"It's been a while…" Anise says while hopping on a seat, relaxing and sleepily moves around to a more comfortable position.
"It's around 9 pm, we should get some proper rest before having to deal with the others…" Viola says while resting in a chair. We all end up sleeping the whole way, when we were going to Grand Chokmah we took quick naps. Everyone should agree it was a nice change.
Noelle woke us up and brought us to the manor before going to the Albiore, probably to rest. We walk in to see everyone speaking at the dining table, the food still hot so they didn't wait long.
"You're here! Finally someone else then Jade to complain with!" Forte gets up out of his seat to go over to us and speak.
"I kind of accepted you to find us and carry us out of danger, I guess what Hymn said about you being "lazy and not gentleman-like was true…" Anise says while shrugging sadly. Everyone just laughs until Jade looks us up and down, not amused.
"Why are you in uniform?" He says while furrowing his eyebrows, thinking.
"Long story." Florian says casually with the boy by him, he takes a seat by me. Forte sits by me and Anise sits by Forte. Hymn goes over and sits by her mother and starts blurting out things we did while on the run.
We eventually end up telling them what happened and everyone was quiet.
"It looks like everyone is in danger, now…" Luke says while eating some food.
"They pretended to have kidnapped me and took away all of you. They put you all in a cell and were probably waiting for orders… Maybe they were going to extract your fonons…" Tear says with her hand on her chin. Jade agreed and said that was the likely culprit for kidnapping us.
"Probably not…" I remember that man on the coach, knowing my name.
Everyone turns to look at me in surprise. Meui twitches his ears and something behind me makes noises and is walking towards me, I don't feel like looking back.
"One man separated me from the others and put me and him in a coach alone together. He said he knew my real name, and said the last thing he'd want is to put me in war. He was mumbling something about war before saying he wasn't my father but he knew me when I was a baby." I put a bread roll in my mouth.
"What's your real name?" Luke says while tilting his head to the side.
"He said my name was Faye Cosmos, and that his was Trident Cosmos."
Guy kind of jumps in his seat.
"W-what is it Guy?" Natalia says while trying not to get too close.
"That's the name of a famous man who mastered every fonic arte… O-or so it's told… He supposedly died in Hod… I guess he wasn't dead after all." Everyone froze at the conclusion.
"I knew him because he helped the women and children in Hod and the isle of Feres, in the war; supposedly he was stabbed multiple times before his body disappeared. N-no one knew where it went." Guy says while playing with his thumbs.
Jade pushes up his glasses. "Ah, professor Cosmos, leader on teaching and understanding the wonders of the universe…" Jade's crimson eyes show a glint of an unidentified emotion.
"I'm not sure we could prevent this problem…" Anise says as she fiddled around with her spaghetti.
"So he must have taken you all for individual purposes. We know Arietta's, but what about the little boy?"
Everyone turns to look at him, drinking apple juice and on Liger. I hop over and start petting Liger, he's not able to see but he knows it me. He nuzzles into my chest as the boy lays on him. Liger doesn't mind.
"You're okay…" He says to me.
"Of course I am, what about you?"
"I'm fine as long as you are, blindness won't destroy me." I smile at him. I place my doll on the ground as I rub his head
"We aren't sure about him, he doesn't talk at all but knows some extreme fonic artes like eclare de larmes." Viola says.
"Damn right about extreme…" Hymn chimes in.
Luke looks at him. "He's in his pajamas. Do you think that means he just woke up when the incident occurred?"
"Probably not. He woke up very early when we were at the inn at ." Florian takes a bite out of some crab.
Meui looks at him and twitches his cheeks.
"Does anyone know his family?" Meui says while processing the food he took from Forte, Forte grabs him and they start bickering again.
"We haven't seen a missing report on the kid, and we've sent out notice of him too. I guess his family died with the attack." Guy shrugs.
"We should keep him with us, maybe if Jade takes care of him he could learn to actually care about something other than his glasses." Hymn says as Luke and Viola snicker.
"How rude!" Jade pretends to be hurt. Natalia just giggles.
"He is kind of emotionless, isn't he?" She says as Florian looks over.
"He has emotion- Florian then stops and shows a face of disappointment.
"Oh wait…" Everyone laughs at that one.
Jade just keeps a smirk.
"Everyone is paying attention to me but no one pays attention Forte who's eyeing down every lady here."
Natalia gasps. "Oh my…" Tear just makes a face of uncertainty.
"Oh shut up Jade, like your talking." Forte snaps back.
"Yeah the only one he's been eyeing down is Muei!" Anise pops out and giggles at the joke.
They all laugh as a guard walks in. He bows and walks over to us.
Luke lays back in his chair. "So what's up?"
