-Scipio-

I woke from the terrible nightmare, the only dream I'd had in years, screaming. oh gods tell me that was a sick joke. But I could tell it wasn't. Gently, I pressed my fingers on my back, where bruises were blooming. There was small scratches all over. Some were bleeding. Some weren't. I curled up into a ball and sobbed myself to sleep.

-Time skip-

"What in hell happened to you?" Ludwig's older brother, Gilbert, asked when the saw me.

"I'll tell you later." In all honesty, I didn't want to tell what was going on- after all, Flatlanders don't have binding rituals when married- for the simple reason it was so odd.

"Any dreams?" he asked suddenly, his red violet eyes practically sparkling.

"Yeah, why?" Those eyes seriously freaked me out.

"I knew it." He was grinning. Not a happy grin, parsay, but an 'I'm-so-smart' grin.

"Knew what?"I was not liking where this conversation was going.

"I've done a lot of research on the Aliodai, even though there is almost no information on them whatsoever." He said, still grinning eerily. "I have found however, some information on a phenomenon called Blood Moon Children." My blood ran cold. "They are psychic, born at midnight, and-"

"They don't have the typical characteristics native to the mountain region." I finished. "As a matter of fact they look more like Aixels and Flatlanders."

"Aixels?"

"The White and Black Kingdoms regions."

"So what was it about?" Quietly I closed my eyes. I didn't want to remember. But it would help a pair of lovers. If that wasn't worth the pain nothing was.

-Gilbert-

He seemed to be thinking. Like he wasn't sure of something.

"Hey you don't have to answer if you don't-"

"No." he interrupted. "no." he said again, more quietly this time. "I'm fine, just a little confused and shaken up." His eyes were still closed tight. "It was about Feliciano." he paused, biting his lip. "I have an idea of where the is."
