New Meeting

When the alarm clock rang, Alvin opened his eyes, ready for a new day. He rubbed his eyes before stood up. He yawned and left his room to go to the kitchen where he began to prepare breakfast. Finally well woken, he remembered that Leia lived with him now. Without noticing, a little smile appeared on his lips and he began to sing. For sure, his apartment wouldn't be quiet anymore with the girl around, but he still felt ashamed about her. Every day, he tried to forget everything that happened six months ago, but Leia has reminded him the events. Alvin sighed. He had to learn to live with this burden, even if he wasn't delighted about that.

"Good morning." A sleepy voice said.

The man looked at Leia rubbing her eyes, before answering:

"Good morning. Have a nice sleep?"

"Hm…" Was the only answer of the girl who sat down in front of the table.

Alvin didn't say a thing, remembering that Leia wasn't really talkative before the breakfast, and he put the dishes on the table, just in front of her. She looked at them, suspicious, before taking one and eating it.

"Oh, it's good." She declared all of sudden.

"Why are you so surprised?"

"You weren't that good, before."

"What!?"

His eyes widened whereas Leia was taking another pancake. Then, he simply said:

"Little brat."

"Imnotlittle!" Leia tried to say while eating.

"Swallow before talking if you want me to understand." Alvin sighed.

"I said that I'm not little."

"Yeah, yeah. I notice that you accept to be a brat."

Leia pouted and Alvin smiled a little bit before stand up. Then, after placing his plate in the sink, he went to the bathroom and took a shower, before dress him up. Finally, he took some papers on his desk, left the room and, before leaving the apartment, he said to the girl:

"I'm leaving. Please, try to not jump into problem!"

And, not waiting for an answer, he left his apartment, hurrying up until his rendezvous' place.

She looked at the leaflet for the fifth times and raised her eyes to see the name of the inn in front of where she was. "The Carrier Pigeon", yes, it was there. She took a big breath and entered in. Immediately, the noise of people talking in the common room attacked her ears and, she felt the urge to leave this place at once.

Leia looked at the leaflet for the sixth times; in little character, it was written that she had to ask a woman called Elena to get to the right place. She searched for the woman and, whereas she was walking a little, someone ploughed into her and she fell on the inn ground.

"Oh, I-I'm sorry." A boy voice said.

The young girl massaged her buttock and raised her eyes to meet the boy's brown one. It was a young boy, that she described to herself as handsome, with blond hair that went until his shoulders. He was smiling shyly and showed his hand to her.

"It's okay, don't worry." She replied with a smile on her face.

She stood up, taking the boy's hand to help her, and she was surprised by the fact that the skin was soft.

"Are you hurt?" The boy asked, worried.

"No no, I'm fine."

Leia couldn't help but blushed and she didn't even know why. His eyes were so deep and if she could, she would try to swim into its. The boy looked at what she had on her hand and then, he whispered:

"The Pater leaflet? You're here for the reunion too?"

Too? Did he really say "too"? Did that mean that he was here for the reunion? But he looked like so young! But still, she was too, and she was here for a spying mission, forced to live with Alvin. But it wasn't that bad, for now, if she forgot about the mission part.

"Yes." She finally whispered. "You too?"

The boy nodded and she wasn't reassured by it. She didn't think that boys as young as him would take part of this group. Did it mean that even the young generation of Elympians really thought that Rieze Maxians weren't their equal?

"Let's go talking to Elena." The boy said.

"Do you know her?"

"Not at all, but I asked a waitress and she told me who she was."

Leia nodded, thinking that for now, her mission was going well. If everything went fine, nobody would know that she was a spy, like this boy who probably thought that she was an Elympian like him. She followed him until a woman with short black hair and blue eyes. On her apron, a deep blue one, was written "The Carrier Pigeon". When the boy asked for the Pater Reunion, she said nothing and only opened a door where they could see stairs.

The two young people went down and they arrived on another big room, where a lot of people, as young than old, were. A lot of chairs were placed in front of a stage, where she could see a desk, with a micro on it. The blond boy took her arm and they sat down on a chair.

"By the way," The boy began. "I don't know your name."

"Oh, err…"

I can't give him my true name, can I? She thought before answering:

"My name is…A-Agria!"

She took the first name that had come in her thought, and she was surprised about it. Agria? Why did she think about her? Of course, she was a spy but…

"Agria? What a nice name. I'm Leo, nice to meet you, Agria."

The boy named Leo smiled and she could only give him back. Well, Agria wasn't a bad choice. Even if she didn't know her very well, she was sure that the girl was someone really great, and she would honor her memories.

People around them began to move forward the chairs and sat down in silence, while a man went on the stage, behind the desk. Leia felt like she was back to school, as student in front of her teacher, and she wondered if everyone felt the same way.

"Brothers and Sisters..."

Leia frowned a little bit, while her eyes looked back at the man behind the desk. It was a big man, – she was sure that he was as tall as Jiao was –, with dark hair and a big moustache. She couldn't see the color of his eyes, but she didn't want to : they were little and seemed vicious. The man looked like someone very important, with his suit and tie nicely ironed. His face...It reminds me someone, but...I don't remember who, she thought while the man continued:

"We're all reunited here to talk about Pater member's goal."

The man was talking slowly, like he wanted that everyone understands what he was talking about. In a way, it looked like he was a rich man with some of his manners: he stood straight, looking at them like he was their superior and, time to time, he touched his moustache. Oh great. He's probably "our boss" or something like this.

"As you know it, since six months ago, our dear Elympios and that...Rieze Maxia things are connected. As you probably know too, Elympios is dying why Rieze Maxia is full alive. And why? Because they have Spirits."

Leia raised her eyes, while people began to whisper between them. She heard all the hatred that the man had for her beloved place, and she wasn't pleased at all to be here right now. It's really because you're my friend, Rowen...

"But what I want you to understand is that Rieze Maxians are childrens, who don't know the true potential of Spirits. In add, did you see how is their civilization? No GHS, no Spyrix, no technology...Nothing. They are peasants."

People began to speak aloud. Leia was speechless and, without noticed it, her fists were ready to crease the man's suit while strangled him with his tie. Was he really stupid? She understood now why Rowen was worried about this group. They were so...So...Stupid! They were the childrens, not Rieze Maxians!

The young girl tightened up the leaflet and she felt a little pain. She looked down at it and sighed when she saw the blood.

"Great." She mumbled.

"Are you alright?" Leo asked.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, don't worry, it's only a little cut."

She thought of heal herself but then, she remembered that she couldn't use her mana lobe, especially in this place. So, she only put her finger on her mouth and she quietly waited. People around her stopped talking and then, the man continued:

"We have to show them the good path. We are their elders, we have to show them how to use properly Spirits' power. Our government is trying to be in peace with them, to be in a friend relationship. That's not possible with such peasants."

Let's continue to call us "peasants", you little jerk, and you'll look like one of them. And still, peasants are better than you. She wanted to leave this place before to become a criminal and if it wasn't for Rowen and Gaius, she would probably do it. She heard a little sigh by her side and she looked at Leo whose face was white as sheet.

"Are you alright?" Leia asked. "You seem to have seen a ghost."

"I'm...not feeling well..."

"Do you want to leave?" Leia questioned him. It was her chance.

"Yes..." He answered.

Quietly, they stood up of their chairs and went to the exit, but they were arrested by a muscular man.

"What are you doing?" He whispered, frowning.

"He doesn't feel well." Leia replied. "We're going out."

"Before that, you have to register. Or we have to be sure that you won't talk about this."

"I just told you that he wasn't fine."

"And I don't care at all. Subscribe or..."

The man clenched his fists and Leia sighed. She didn't have a choice. After all, she was a spy, right? If she wanted to help Rowen, she had to be one of Pater's members, even if she wasn't pleased. She took the pencil that he gave her and wrote "Agria" on the paper. Leo did the same thing, paler than ever, and a little woman gave an envelope to each of them.

"Open it when you'll be at your home. Not before."

Then, they could pass and went the stairs up. The two young people left the inn and, when they reached the outside, Leo took a big breath in front of Leia's worried eyes.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, don't worry. I'll be alright now."

"If you weren't fine, why have you come?"

The boy looked at her and, after some minutes of silence, he only said:

"My father told me to come, so...It seemed that he forgot that I'm a little bit agoraphobic."

To the ton he used, Leia was sure that he didn't have a choice at all. Leo looked at the envelope in his hand before whispering:

"I wonder what is it."

She looked at it too: it was only a white envelope with nothing writing on it. It was quite suspicious when she knew that she hadn't to open it before going at home. It meaned to open it behind Alvin's back. Fortunately, he would be back after her so she could read the envelope and write a report to Rowen without problem.

"So, I'm going back to home. It was a pleasure to meet you, Agria."

"It was mine too."

The two people smiled to each other and, after a last goodbye, Leo left Leia. The girl looked at him leave and, when he wasn't in front of her eyes anymore, she went back to Alvin's apartment.

She still had a lot to do.
