episode: Trace Memory
The preface begins with a little girl crying in the closet but she hears someone calling her name. 16-year-old Eluned Hollander wakes up from her bad dream as she finds herself on the boat that’s heading towards Honolulu, Hawaii. She talks to her aunt, Wilma, about why did she lie to her about her father’s disappearance. Wilma told her that he didn’t want her to know that he was alive because something terrible must’ve happened to him; Eluned received a package from her dad, Noah, and a letter.
Inside the letter was a small machine called the Reminiscence Keeper that may help her understand her lost memories! Eluned hasn’t used it but she is very nervous about this new device. Then, Eluned questions about her mother since she didn’t know what happen to her and wonders if she still alive too. Wilma doesn’t know yet and Eluned is left impatient, irritated & angry at her aunt for lying to her. Finally, the boat reaches to Hawaii as they don’t see any sight of Noah anywhere! Wilma decides to go look for him while Eluned stays by the boat.
Meanwhile in an antique shop, Addison Eldridge and his brother are researching through alchemy books for some causes of a homunculus portfolio called Specters. Dana enters with a few more books in her hands as she asked on how long will he keep researching, Addison assures her that he needs to know the existence of these strange creatures. Dana seems uneasy at this as she asked him about what is his obsession about, Addison mutters under his breath—annoyed: “God! Shut up, you worrying bitch.” Dana snaps at him and she demands to know what he said until she accidently knocks something down—a beautiful glass!
Addison caught it in time and scolds at Dana for being careless. Dana backs away and apologizes softly, Addison softens as he apologizes too but he jokes her if he really is diagnosed with OCD. Dana and Addison’s brother laugh with him as things turn out OK! Later; Addison is alone in the shop’s library room, reading when he noticed that the glass is shimmering. He talks to it until suddenly he gasps as he saw an image of a beautiful girl. She has flaxen hair & Celtic skin. Her eyes change from purple to red as Addison watches her image come to life at this delicate girl.
That night; Addison has a dream that the flaxen-haired angel is seen standing before a human boy and starts to drink his blood; killing him. Addison woke up startled as he starts researching about the girl! Addison learns that the girl’s name is Cosetta Hugo—she’s an ageless, fifteen year old girl that lived in France of the 18th century. Cosetta was engaged to her fiancé, Marcelo Frollo but he was a vampire and turned his beloved into a vampire and imprisoned her in his castle with a special gift he possessed!
A few hours later; Eluned goes look for her aunt and hears a blood-curdling scream from the forest as she finds her aunt’s eye glasses! She tries to find her but there is no sign of her anywhere, Eluned stumbles upon a campsite and finds a strange symbol of a red iris as she wonders about it. Just then; she hears rustling in the bushes as a boy—about her age—appears with a gun poised at her. Eluned begs that she didn’t know this was his, the boy asks her in an intense tone: “What’s your name?” “Eluned Hollander.” The boy is shocked and he looks at her closely. Eluned is perplexed until she realizes that this boy is Tempest Rush!
In a flashback, Eluned rescued him from a boat that she found him on as she finds a red iris on it. At school; Eluned meets Tempest and gives him an invitation to her 17th party. Later, Tempest rips the invitation in front of her as he whispers: “I’ll kill you.” Tempest reveals his real name: Temperance Roth and he came to Honolulu to find the killers that murdered his father six years ago. Eluned decides to make a deal: She’ll aid him to find the murderers, if he can help her find her father.
Eluned explains her story as Tempest starts to act strange. He is acting strange over the painful memories of his father, Temperance agrees with her and the two embarked on a quest in Hawaii!
During their search, they receive strange email riddles from a mysterious man name Franklin Davis, who knows the answers to their questions. He sends them out riddles as they go out to solve them. They solve puzzles, clues and other cryptic stuff. They use the Reminiscence Keeper to learn about Franklin Davis but there is none so Eluned secretly uses the Keeper to research on Tempest’s memories and she learns about his past:
Six years ago; Tempest was ten years old as he was learning to be a scout in a spy corporation—run by his dad until one tragic day on a boat. A grey colored ship attacks Tempest’s boat as the ten year old boy was cast away on a boat.
Tempest cried out for his father, who tells him that he wants him to live and wishes him good luck! The last glimpse that Tempest saw was his father’s boat exploding into bits and flames while Tempest bawled for his father. Eluned is shocked at this and she closes up the device, she is too dazed at this moment while she consumes what she just saw.
Back with Addison; He received strange visions of himself talking to Cosetta, who tells her about her sorrowful, horrified past and begs him to set her free. At first, Addison is dithered until Cosetta showed him her gruesome fantasies of sacrifices, macabre illusions and other blood-splattered horrors! For the time being, Dana meets Australian twin sisters: Barbara & Sheena.
These two have strange dreams about themselves dressed in Victorian-styled dresses while in a forest with blood-stained trees as they sees woman standing but they are soon screaming while an unknown figure kills them with an axe and girls have been disappearing! Tempest and Eluned are following Franklin’s trail into the cryptic journey but Eluned reveals of what she saw in the Keeper. Tempest gets mad & poised a gun at her but stops because it is not worth it because he wants to help her find Noah Hollander and Aunt Wilma! Tempest was silent for a moment until he asked her about what happen to Eluned’s mother nevertheless, she doesn’t know because she remembered that she was 3 & she and her mother were spending a wonderful birthday until a stranger came in.
Eluned’s mother hid her in the closet and told her to be quiet as a mouse.
Tempest asked if that’s all she remembers, Eluned shrugs and replies: “I guess so.” This is interesting for Tempest but they continued their journey. They found a beautiful waterfall as Eluned jumps into the water to relax but while she is underwater; she can hear someone’s gasped and a technical-like voice in the sea: “A woman.” Eluned woke up and her inner voice screams at him: “No! Stop! Don’t do it! Stay away!” The voice laughed at her and says in an exclaimed tone: “I don’t believe this!” Eluned scrambled to the surface as she hugs Tempest and tells him what happened. Tempest realizes that it was the O’Reily Brothers! He explains that these brothers are bounty hunters and they are the ones that killed Tempest’s father, Eluned asked him of how did he survived from being on a boat that long.
Tempest explains that after Eluned rescued him; he met a friend, of his father’s; name Henry Rush, who helped him out with his mission. Tempest changed his real name to Tempest Rush and Henry “adopted” him as his own. Tempest says that one of the brothers got into contact with her and his name is Charlie! Charlie is a hacker and he is not just a hacker for computers but for other things too. His older brother, Thomas, calls him the Lifecycle Hacker because he can hack into other things that involve people in those locations. They are confronted by Thomas and Charlie with their vampire master: Alistair Nash! Alistair is a 15-year-old vampire boy that was trained to be a puppeteer—He was turned over 20 years during his time.
Dana and the twin sisters investigate about these strange, unfortunate events but they found one of the disappeared girls dead in a swimming hole as they learn the horrors of what happen to these girls. They found the other girls’ bodies in the swimming hole too as they wonder who killed them, Dana finds the axe as the twins’ nightmares start to come true! Addison researches on where to find Cosetta’s location on how to set her free from her prison as he must destroy Marcelo. Addison and his brother go to France as they found Marcelo’s castle and where Cosetta is being held! Marcelo confronts them as a fight between alchemist and vampire begins but the Eldridge Brothers defeat Marcelo, who escapes from his castle & Cosetta is free.
Addison is finally with his beloved soul mate as the two lovers embrace and return back home. Back with Eluned and Tempest found out the next clue: A newspaper article of Eluned’s mother, she was killed in her own home! Shocked; Eluned starts crying and she tells Tempest about what happened, Tempest tells him that they have to find her father because he is the most important thing in the world to Eluned right now. Eluned is hesitant until she claims that Tempest is right. Franklin appears and says that he found the newspaper as Eluned demands to know if he killed her mother, kidnapped her aunt and spy on her underwater. Frank finally admits the truth: He is Noah Hollander and explains the truth of what happened. After hearing his story, Eluned believes him as she embraces him in a tearful hug. But the O’Reiley brothers appear as Eluned realized that the youngest brother was the one who was spying on her underwater! She is angry at this but the youngest brother, Charlie, claims that they are soul mates!
Eluned is creep out as Thomas has Noah at gunpoint but Eluned begs to spare him and wants to find out who is her mother’s killer. After she reveals her dark memory; she learns that Thomas murdered her mother because of the fact that she was Noah’s accomplice of some project called: Fantasy World Unknown. Thomas reveals that he killed Tempest’s father and is about to kill Noah! Tempest stops him as he tries to kill Tom but Charlie steps in as he gets wounded in the forearm. Charlie cries and flails. Tom takes his younger brother as the brothers escape from the island. Eluned, Tempest, Noah and Wilma go home on the boat as they gaze up at the moon in the sky.
Eluned thanks Tempest for helping her find her dad, Tempest claims that he wanted to find his father’s killer. Eluned nods and says: “Still, I feel happy that someone aided in my distress.” Tempest nods and glances at her but he gasped quietly. The moonlight cast a glowing aura on her skin, Tempest breathes: “She’s beautiful in the moonlight." Eluned notices him staring and asked if something's wrong but Tempest says that it's nothing.
