Chapter 7: An Infinity Wonders of the World


Previously....

When she got to Shinsi by herself; Cassandra stood in front of something that amazed at what she was doing, "A castle...Looks so medieval...Like the kind in fairy tales..." She said. She was so entranced and decides to enter inside. Whle she was in there; Cass looked around in the castle, "Hello? Anybody here?" She called out. Nobody answered, this was getting too weird. All of a sudden, she heard a noise that made her jump and armed herself in preparation. "Who's there? Show yourself, I know you're there!" She called. As if on cue, there was a mysterious boy, Caucasian male, with short black scruffy-looking  hair has grown longer past his ears and blue cyan eyes. He is well-muscled with a v-shaped torso, broad shoulders and clearly defined muscles. He wears a dark green shirt, army jacket and blue jeans with blue and black shoes. But something was wrong with this guy and Cassandra pointed a gun at him, "Get back, get back!" She said. She started shooting however she is shocked that the bullets missed somehow. Cassandra couldn't believe it, she begin to walk backwards. Had a hard time to breathe. "What. Are. You?" Cassandra said, she walk backwards to a staircase and almost fell however she is saved by the mysterious boy. Cassandra looked up, she blushed at how cute this guy was: "Uh...Hi." She replied awkwardly. "What are you doing here?" The boy demanded. Cassandra was shaken, "You talk? I mean, I--Who you are?" She inquired. The mysterious boy looked at her, "Son of Queen Aloja and King Giuseppe, Prince Pintosmalto." He answered. Cassandra gazed at him with amazement, "Pintosmalto, that's a very unusual name." She remarked. Pintosmalto nodded, "Very, but enough about me, tell me who you are." He said. Cassandra sighed so she begins to explain and Pintosmalto softens to her when he learns what is going on. However they were interrupted by people, they seemed to be his friends. 

"Pinto, who is she?" asked a 15 year old looking girl. Cassandra smiled, "I'm just a visitor." She said. Pintosmalto introduced her to the others, "This is Cassandra Endymion...Agent?" He said. Cassandra pulled out her badge, "Silver Branch Agency." She explained. Cassandra meets these people as Prince Pintosmalto's friends: Signora Rosaura 'Nora Rose', Betta Pepper, Tithonus Falke, Romar Candlewick, Ronald Harlequin and Theobald Punch. Cassandra was amazed, "Wait, how many of you are there?" She asked. "Seven." replied Romar. Cass looked surprised at this, "What? Seven?" She asked softly. Pintosmalto nodded, "Yeah." He said. Cassandra was so stunt that she could hardly speak, she felt the tears in her eyes as they cascaded down her cheeks. "Seven is magic." She whispered. Pintosmalto noticed, "Cassandra? Are you OK?" He asked. "Magic? Seven? It's just like before...Just like before the massacre....Reuben, Judy....All of them, I--I can't believe it...."  Cassandra mumbled to herself. That's when she nearly fainted, "Cass!" Pintosmalto called. Later by the river; Cassandra was all right but she stopped when she hears a music box behind her and looks at it, the song sounds familiar to her. But as she looks up, she notices someone is video-taping her. Cass realized it's Pintosmalto and she feels creeped out. She went back inside the castle, wondering what the heck was going on with this guy. Pintosmalto put the camera away and sighed. Just then, he turned around to see his girlfriend. Signora Rosaura has short auburn hair with white streaks as bangs in the front of her hair. She has grey eyes and a pale skin complexion, and she wears purplish-blackish makeup and lipstick. She wears a sheer long-sleeved green blouse over a black halter top, a short black leather skirt and black leggings. She wears thick combat boots, and dog collars around her neck and wrists. Black gloves cover her hands and easily come off when Nora Rosa needs them to.

Today she looked upset. "Why are you filming her?" Signora Rosaura demanded. Pintosmalto didn't know what to say, "She--she's just a project really." He insisted. "Don't lie to me, Pinto. What is she to you?" Signora Rosaura begged. "It's not what you think--" claimed Pintosmalto but he was slapped by her. He was stunt by the slap. "DO YOU LOVE HER?!" Signora Rosaura shouted. Pintosmalto held out a hand, "No, Signora Rosaura...I love you, but I don't have feelings for her." He said. Signora Rosaura looked at him, "Oh really? Then what is it?" She asked. Pintosmalto looked at her, "I just want to see more human behavior from her." He explained. Signora Rosaura sudddenly looked guilty and the two reconciled. Later, Cass was by the river again and heard the music box as she glanced over to see Pintosmalto holding it. "You like it?" asked Pintosmalto, he then closed the music box. Cassandra looked away, "Um, just thought the song was beautiful. That's all." She claimed. "Me too, I think the song is wonderful." agreed Pintosmalto. "Yeah, sure." Cassandra replied, looking annoyed. Pintosmalto noticed her attitude, "What's wrong? Did I do something to upset you?" He asked. Cassandra glanced at him, "Why were you filming me?" She demanded. Pintosmalto realized what he did, "Uh...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm not an obsessing stalker." He explained. Cassandra didn't believe him, "Uh huh." She said. "I'm just curious." Pintosmalto remarked. Cassandra looked at him with disbelief, "You're just curious? Don't you have a life?" She snapped. "I do, but you seemed interested. Very different." Pintosmlato spoke. Cassandra moved away, "Stop trippin'!" She proclaimed. Pintosmalto looked at her with confusion, "Trippin'?" He inquired. Cassandra felt like smacking her forehead, she couldn't believe she said that! "Sorry, that came out wrong. I meant to say was, 'stop lying'." She said. "Why would I lie?" asked Pintosmalto. Cassandra glared at him, "People I know do, I can't trust people." She said. Pintosmalto was perplexed, "You can't trust people?" He said. Cassandra sighed however she decides to get off the subject by asking Pintosmalto about himself and he told her that he had a girlfriend. "You have a girlfriend?" Cassandra asked. 

"Yeah." Pintosmalto remarked. "And she's mad at me? She thinks I'm trying to take you away from her?" guessed Cassandra. Stunt by how she knew this, Pintosmalto nodded. Cass sighed, "You know, I'm not the type to tell you that your girl sucks and get with me. I like you, Pinto but as a friend." She said. Pintosmalto nodded, "I know, I apologize." He said. "It's OK, it's not..." Cassandra assured him however she realized something, "Oh man, just like--!" She thought. Later that night, Cassandra was back at Silver Branch and was working when she sensed something. Just then, she is summoned by her allies. "Uh, Cass? I think you wanna see this." Goram said nervously. Cassandra looked out the window, her name was light up in neon lights. "Oh crap, it's him!" She gasped. "Huh? Who's him?" asked Goram, confused. "He must be filming me right now!" Cassandra claimed, rushing away. Still perplexed; Goram called out: "Uh, Cass? Is there something you want to tell me?" Ignoring him, Cassandra sat as she begins to have memories coming back to her, her friends and her were happy back in the day. That night; Cassandra was having flashbacks of her friends before the prom massacre, she couldn't eat or sleep as she begin to wandering out of bed and went out in the night. Someone sure didn't sleep as well; Signora Rosaura was working when she looked up and see her, "Cass, is that you?" She asked. Cass looked up, "Nora Rose?" She asked. Signora Rosaura helped her up on her feet, "What happened? You look scared." noted Nora Rose. Cassandra didn't know what to say, "I--I--" "Come on, let me help you. Maybe you should let me be of assistance." suggested Signora Rosaura. Cassandra couldn't believe it, "Nora Rose..." She muttered. "Cassandra, you're shivering. Here, let me draw you a bath." remarked Signora Rosaura, leading her inside. "Yeah, thanks." Cassandra said, touched by her kindness and found herself smiling at her. "Anything for a friend." Nora Rosa answered. The next day, Cassandra was outside again and was really enjoying the great outdoors, the sky was blue and the breeze felt nice as she closed her eyes to feel it brushed against her. "Having fun?" Pintosmalto asked. 

Cassandra turned around and glared at him who had a video camera in hand, "Stop video-taping me." She snapped. "Look, now that you and Signora Rosaura made up; I want to make you my project." Pintosmalto said. Cassandra looked at him, "Me? Pinto, you're weird but you really don't have to do that." She said. Pintosmalto looked brooding, "Yeah, I know. But I find you interested. I told you, I'm curious." He reminded. Cassandra smirked, "Let me borrow that for a second." She said, snatching the video camera from him and video tapes him, "Ah, now it's my turn to project you." She said. Pintosmalto smirked back, "Me?" He said. "What? Aren't you human?" Cassandra asked. Pintosmalto shrugged, "I don't know, can't you tell?" He teased. He took the camera back. "Hey!" Cassandra protested. Pintosmalto turned off the camera, "You owe me!" He said. Then, he leaned over and tried to kiss her. Cassandra couldn't believe this scandalous maneuver, "Oh--!" She gasped and dodged him. "Don't even, Signora Rosaura and I made up. Don't make it worse for me!" Cassandra prompted. Pintosmalto smirked, "I know, just messing with you." He said. Cassandra smirked, "I'll show you messing around." She hectored. Then, she leaned in and liplock with Pintosmalto but when she parted her lips away and was shocked. "Oh god, I'm so sorry..." She said. Tears in her eyes, Pintosmalto try to reach over however Cassandra placed a hand up to stop him, "Excuse me!" She said politely and left Pintosmalto. While Cassandra walked away, she tried to deny it. She didn't want to hurt Signora Rosaura and Pintosmalto. Overwhelmed; Cassandra was clutching her head as she wondered, "Why?" Cassandra moaned to herself, "Why?" She gasped out. Cassandra cried out in pain, not physical pain but mental and emotional pain. "So much, so much like him...." She moaned. It was too much as more memories begin to flood her brain. Cassandra was thrashing about violently, "WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME?!" She screamed. Cassandra telekinetically made cracks and broke something. Goram and the others enter inside to help her out, Cass calmed down and tried not to think about it so much. 

A woman's voice said from above, "The universe is infinite, and this world is in the middle of it. And there is an infinity wonders of the world." In the meantime; The shooting range was the loudest place ever; there was Ronald, Theobald, and Betta. Once the shooting range had quieted down; their mentor clapped. "Nice job, you three. You did swell but I have to give the highest rank to Betta, overall you guys did great." She said. Betta beamed with pride, she felt more confident than before. Meanwhile, Magda reveals to Ophelia what Bendis has being doing to herself, Ophelia goes and talks to her Bendis. She said that her brother has been helping with the family, Bendis refuses to believe that because she says her brother is a jerk and ruined her life. She tells her mother to go away. Then, She closes the door on her mother's face, Ophelia walks away crying. Bendis is hurt inside as she is feeling suicidal. Bendis says that her cousin betrayed her as she hates her life! Then, Bendis collapses and is rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, Bendis is revealed to have a panic attack from the remedies she was taking as Bendis tearfully confesses that she took these remedies because she doesn't want to deal with how cruel life is. She goes to therapy and she was going to recover soon. "Who am I? What am I? Why am I here? What is that I'm searching for? What did Father and Mother made me for anyway?" asked Pintosmalto. Cassandra looked at him, her hands reached forward and put both hands on Pintosmalto face and smiled. "I never knew you were artificial. You're a good looking young man with ordinary traits of a guy. Your face, your hair, it all looks human." She said.  Pintosmalto shrugged dully, "Yeah, I know. Blessing and curse but I don't have the mindset like everyone else." He remarked. 

Cass smirked, she squeezed his cheeks and Pintosmalto managed to complain: "Ow, hey!" Cassandra lets go, "Surprised, annoyed, and also flirting earlier." She replied with a laugh. "I'll bet all you wanted was to be like how humans are. Good humans, those that have feelings and go through experiences. I'll help you, Pinto. I promise." Cassandra continued, "But it's going to be hard, I don't know where to start. It's a long journey, hell I hope you'll be ready for this." Pintosmalto nodded, "I am." He said. Cassandra was happy to hear this, "Great! It's settle than."  She exclaimed with joy. "My family name and legacy is carried on through the sons of the family. Because of this, women could find honor only through the marriage and the union of families, and the children they had. They were matched depending on their home skills, grace, and beauty. And my hopes to meet the standards of the matchmaker to keep my family from disgrace. In the tradition at this time, a woman’s main role was to marry and be a mother." She explained. Signora Rosaura stopped as she looked crestfallen. Pintosmalto noticed her troubled expression. Pintosmalto looked at her with sympathy  and took both of her hands and told her, "You did such good things, you will one day bring honor to your family...You'll also bring honor to me." He said. Signora Rosaura smiled at him, "Thanks." She said. Signora Rosaura sat up and said, "Hey you want to fight?" "Oh, you want to fight me?" asked Pintosmalto in a teasing tone. "Yeah, that is if you're scared." replied  Signora Rosaura. Pintosmalto laughed, "Scared of you? Like hell." He said. "Come on, bad boy! Come and get me." said Signora Rosaura, posing in a seduction dare. Pintosmalto is surprised to see her that way, "Damn, here goes..." He said. Signora Rosaura prepared herself and bounces off as she cried, "He-yah!" "Wha--?" Pintosmalto thought, he dodged her and Signora Rosaura smiled at him. "Haha, I got passed you. And you thought I was a distressed damsel." She remarked. Pintosmalto looked at her with amazement, "Whoa, I think I like you Nora Rosa." He said. "I'll bet you like this." Signora Rosaura said, she jumped and stretch out her leg to kick him: "Yah!" 

In the meantime, there was trouble ahead for Vincent and Eulalie for Eulalie was losing grip over her sanity: "Eulalie, is that you?" Vincent called out to her. Mortified and uncomfortable to see him; Eulalie looked away from him, "Please, go away." She said darkly. "Let me help  you, Eulalie." Vincent coaxed, walking over to her carefully. Eulalie begin to weep, "Why can't you people leave me alone?" She demanded through her sobs. Vincent hold back his own tears, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you went through so much pain." He said. Eulalie chuckled darkly with no humor and said, "That's the thing...You forget, you don't know anything about me." Eulalie try to slice herself with her ax and attempt to take her own life until Vincent stop her. Eulalie is shocked, "Get off me...get off me....All that stuff I wrote, it was a lie. All a lie...." She insisted. Eulalie felt her face turned red but she got angry and pushed him away as she said, "STOP IT!!!!" Vincent looked at her with surprise, "What? What do you mean?" He asked. "Stop trying to trick me, I know what you're trying to do." Eulalie said, glaring at him after she got away from him. "I'm not, I think you're different from all the girls and maybe I want you by my side as my friend." insisted Vincent. Eulalie turned back to him, "You--you mean it?" She said. Vincent nodded, "Yes, I'm not going to reject you again. I know because I had hardships in my life and I'm willing to help you if you let me in." He said. Eulalie found out that living for others and sharing love, time and other good things in life with people is what truly brings fulfilment and happiness. She believes that life is much more than just a physical plan, and what makes her happy is doing the right things. She believes in the possibility that everything will be fine, because whoever is watching over her will protect her. After seeing enough, Signora Rosaura let go as she try to process over what's going on and cannot think. But she had to know something, "Human...What's it like to be a human. Someone like her." 

How did this occur? Let's go back to the beginning, shall we? 

Earlier before.....

BANG! BANG! The shooting range was the loudest place ever; there was Ronald, Theobald, and Betta. Once the shooting range had quieted down; their mentor clapped. "Nice job, you three. You did swell but I have to give the highest rank to Betta, overall you guys did great." She said. Betta beamed with pride, she felt more confident than before. In Shinsi; Cassandra was alone as she try not to think about Pinto nor the kiss but guilt begins to haunt her. However, a voice in her head spoke to her, "My sweet, lovely girl... He is the key to your future." Cassandra sat up and looked around, wondering who the heck was that. But she thought she was hearing things so she shake it off. For the time being; Pintosmalto begins to remember his time with Signora Rosaura where she tells him about Palendina and his family has been through as well as she with trying to learn the conceptions of an ordinary girl: "My family name and legacy is carried on through the sons of the family. Because of this, women could find honor only through the marriage and the union of families, and the children they had. They were matched depending on their home skills, grace, and beauty. And my hopes to meet the standards of the matchmaker to keep my family from disgrace. In the tradition at this time, a woman’s main role was to marry and be a mother." She explained. Signora Rosaura stopped as she looked crestfallen. Pintosmalto noticed her troubled expression. 

Pintosmalto looked at her with sympathy  and took both of her hands and told her, "You did such good things, you will one day bring honor to your family...You'll also bring honor to me." He said. Signora Rosaura smiled at him, "Thanks." She said. Then she sat up and said, "Hey you want to fight?" "Oh, you want to fight me?" asked Pintosmalto in a teasing tone. "Yeah, that is if you're scared." replied  Signora Rosaura. Pintosmalto laughed, "Scared of you? Like hell." He said. "Come on, bad boy! Come and get me." said Signora Rosaura, posing in a seduction dare. Pintosmalto is surprised to see her that way, "Damn, here goes..." He said. Signora Rosaura prepared herself and bounces off as she cried, "He-yah!" "Wha--?" Pintosmalto thought, he dodged her and Signora Rosaura smiled at him. "Haha, I got passed you. And you thought I was a distressed damsel." She remarked. Pintosmalto looked at her with amazement, "Whoa, I think I like you Nora Rosa." He said. "I'll bet you like this." Signora Rosaura said, she jumped and stretch out her leg to kick him: "Yah!" She lets her leg dropped. Pintosmalto dodged her, "You're good." He replied. "Thanks, I learned from the best." Signora Rosaura  said. Pintosmalto laughed, "Oh, you laugh huh?" remarked Signora Rosaura. Pintosmalto looked at her eyes, Signora Rosaura looked back at him in his eyes and then she did something she never imagined. Leaning towards him, she pressed her lips against his. Then, Pintosmalto said something he never said before, "I want to touch you. Not just physically, but within your mind. Discover the things you keep locked away. Until we are on, where there is no you and I, but we." 

Surprised by what he said; Signora Rosaura was relieved and begin to fall asleep. When she woke up; Signora Rosaura found Pintosmalto sleeping and caressing his head however she touched his wound on the back of his neck. Pintosmalto broke out of the flashback and he decided to get some sleep. Cassandra was asleep at the same time as Pintosmalto but she woke up to hear a voice in her head, "My little princess...I will wait for your return soon."  Lying in her bed; Cassandra begin to have a flashback of Nora Rosa: "Cass, is that you?" She asked. Cass looked up, "Nora Rose?" She asked. Signora Rosaura helped her up on her feet, "What happened? You look scared." noted Nora Rose. Cassandra didn't know what to say, "I--I--" "Come on, let me help you. Maybe you should let me be of assistance." suggested Signora Rosaura. Cassandra couldn't believe it, "Nora Rose..." She muttered. "Cassandra, you're shivering. Here, let me draw you a bath." remarked Signora Rosaura, leading her inside. "Yeah, thanks." Cassandra said, touched by her kindness and found herself smiling at her. "Anything for a friend." Nora Rosa answered. The next day, Cassandra is surprised to see Pintosmalto who was misunderstood more about himself: "Who am I? What am I? Why am I here? What is that I'm searching for? What did Father and Mother made me for anyway?" asked Pintosmalto. Cassandra looked at him, her hands reached forward and put both hands on Pintosmalto face and smiled. "I never knew you were artificial. You're a good looking young man with ordinary traits of a guy. Your face, your hair, it all looks human." She said.  Pintosmalto shrugged dully, "Yeah, I know. Blessing and curse but I don't have the mindset like everyone else." He remarked. 

Cassandra lets go, "Surprised, annoyed, and also flirting earlier." She replied with a laugh. "I'll bet all you wanted was to be like how humans are. Good humans, those that have feelings and go through experiences. I'll help you, Pinto. I promise." Cassandra continued, "But it's going to be hard, I don't know where to start. It's a long journey, hell I hope you'll be ready for this." Pintosmalto nodded, "I am." He said. Cassandra was happy to hear this, "Great! It's settle than."  She exclaimed with joy. However, she can hear a voice in her head saying to her: "My sweet girl, I only hope ou find your way back to me love." She said. Eulalie was working when she heard a voice in her head: "My dear, sweet girl... Fear not, for I am watching over you..." Deirdre was cooking food for her friends when she heard a voice in her head, "My sweet girls, my little princess...Please give me a moment of your time. I know it seems like I'm not offering you much guidance but you're going have to do a lot of this on your own. I asked that you trust me and I will get you through this alive. Follow your instincts and I will see you soon...I'll be waiting for you." Then, one day; Cassandra, Deirdre, Turan, Ariadne, and Juana saw a sun ray coming down and there was a blinding light as they vanished. When they woke up, they couldn't believe. They were in a lush land of flowers and a beautiful utopia. "I don't believe it, we're on Terra Feminarum." Cassandra gasped. "Oh snap!" Turan remarked. Just then, the girls found themselves faced to face with a commander officer of a woman. Cassandra smiled a little weakly, "Are we dead?" She asked. The female commander chuckled a little, "Not really." The woman greeted them, "Welcome Morrigans, welcome to  Terra Feminarum." Cassandra recognized her, she was a Morrigan. "Queen Cymodoce?" She said. Immediately, all the girls bowed to her. "M'lady, it's an honor to meet you." All of them said at the same time.

In the meantime, Eulalie went insane again and Vincent found her in a warehouse. "Eulalie, is that you?" Vincent called out to her. Mortified and uncomfortable to see him; Eulalie looked away from him, "Please, go away." She said darkly. "Let me help  you, Eulalie." Vincent coaxed, walking over to her carefully. Eulalie begin to weep, "Why can't you people leave me alone?" She demanded through her sobs. Vincent hold back his own tears, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you went through so much pain." He said. Eulalie chuckled darkly with no humor and said, "That's the thing...You forget, you don't know anything about me." Eulalie try to slice herself with her ax and attempt to take her own life until Vincent stop her. Eulalie is shocked, "Get off me...get off me....All that stuff I wrote, it was a lie. All a lie...." She insisted. Vincent didn't say anything and managed to get the axes away from her before Eulalie could take a strike at herself. Then, Vincent gives Eulalie a liplock kiss, then the lips departed as Valentine's voice whispered against the gasping Eulalie, "Did you like that? I really hope you did. Because I've been wanting to do that all this time." Eulalie felt her face turned red but she got angry and pushed him away as she said, "STOP IT!!!!" Vincent looked at her with surprise, "What? What do you mean?" He asked. "Stop trying to trick me, I know what you're trying to do." Eulalie said, glaring at him after she got away from him. "I'm not, I think you're different from all the girls and maybe I want you by my side as my friend." insisted Vincent. Eulalie turned back to him, "You--you mean it?" She said. Vincent nodded, "Yes, I'm not going to reject you again. I know because I had hardships in my life and I'm willing to help you if you let me in." He said. Eulalie found out that living for others and sharing love, time and other good things in life with people is what truly brings fulfilment and happiness. She believes that life is much more than just a physical plan, and what makes her happy is doing the right things. She believes in the possibility that everything will be fine, because whoever is watching over her will protect her. 

In the meantime, Bendis was known to be a liar; she was a bad liar and a bad girl to start with. And Bendis was dressed in tight fitted outfits, she's smoking, and drinking. She swears a lot as she oppresses everyone she meets: Bendis makes fun of the girls, she makes fun of others, she gets all trashy with boys, and bullies the others. Magda remembers the sweet, innocent girl Bendis was as she wondered what happened to her! "My 'sweet self' is gone and is 'never coming back'." Bendis smirks at Ophelia and the gang as she claims that they hate her now and she walks away. While being interrogated; Bendis claims that her family ruined her life and says that nobody likes her. Bendis acts like Magda don't exist and she is laughing hysterically. After having enough of this; Magda confronts Bendis, who fakes that she is sleeping but Magda can't stand it and the two of them argue. However; Magda finds out that Bendis had been cutting herself and convinced her to get some help however Bendis laughs at her for being delusional. Magda reveals to Ophelia what Bendis has being doing to herself, Ophelia goes and talks to her Bendis. She said that her brother has been helping with the family, Bendis refuses to believe that because she says her brother is a jerk and ruined her life. She tells her mother to go away. Then, She closes the door on her mother's face, Ophelia walks away crying. Bendis is hurt inside as she is feeling suicidal. Bendis says that her cousin betrayed her as she hates her life! Then, Bendis collapses and is rushed to the hospital. At the hospital, Bendis is revealed to have a panic attack from the remedies she was taking as Bendis tearfully confesses that she took these remedies because she doesn't want to deal with how cruel life is. She goes to therapy and she was going to recover soon. 

The Morrigan Queen explained of the dangers that are ahead and warns Cassandra to protect these people she met with. She also said, "The universe is infinite, and this world is in the middle of it. And there is an infinity wonders of the world." Before letting the girls return, she said: "My dear, sweet girls...my little princess....Stand tall and be brave, for the battle still continues." And they were returned to where they started. Cassandra went to Shinsi again but she was knocked out and was unconscious as the ever curious Signora Rosaura decided to read her thoughts and to see what goes on inside her head: 

A man in a tuxedo came up to the microphone and said, "All right! It's time to announce the winners of this year's Prom King and Queen." He had a small envelope in his hand and rips it up. "And the winners are....REUBEN MATTHEWS AND JUDY DAVIS!" Everyone broke into an applause, Reuben and Judy went to the stage to accept their crowns as Judy is given a bouquet of roses. Just then, unexpected visitors crashed the party with loaded guns and started a massacre. They shot at other people who fell to the floor. Panic filled everyone else, they try to flee but some were shot in the process. Cassandra watched in horror as her friends were being shot at. She noticed that Reuben was panting of the wound bleeding from there as he cries out, "Ohhh, the pain." Judy noticed Cassandra there and calls out, "Get away from here Cass!" "Save yourself Cass!" Asher called out, "Get away from here!" However they were all shot at as Cassandra screamed with terror. As she went to the job interview; it doesn't go smoothly. The sounds of a loud boom set off Cassandra as she screamed while remembering the tragic incident. The employer then said after Cassandra calmed down, "I cannot hire someone who cannot get her act together. Go get some therapy and come back as a sane lady!" Cassandra was humiliated of this, she walked out with tears in her eyes and drove away. As she got back home; Cassandra takes a bubble bath. As her feet were at the foot of the tub, she rested her eyelids and slid underwater. This where she can daydream in this state. She had done it many times. This time, it was different. Today, she was swimming in the Caribbean sea and saw the animals hiding behind the rocks. 

She went under the sea as she sees fishes swim as they move their lips, 'Swim' and 'Talk to me.' With her feet in the air and her head on the ground; She begin to spin around however her head inside has collapsed and there's nothing. She begins to wonder, "Way in this water, I swim....Where my mind is? Where is it? Where is my mind? Where is my....Mind?" The word 'mind' begins to echo over and over again. Cassandra opened her eyes and emerged from the water of the bath, gasping for breath. Then, the next memory showed Nora Rose: They were in a lush land of flowers and a beautiful utopia. "I don't believe it, we're on Terra Feminarum." Cassandra gasped. "Oh snap!" Turan remarked. Just then, the girls found themselves faced to face with a commander officer of a woman. Cassandra smiled a little weakly, "Are we dead?" She asked. The female commander chuckled a little, "Not really." The woman greeted them, "Welcome Morrigans, welcome to  Terra Feminarum." Cassandra recognized her, she was a Morrigan. "Queen Cymodoce?" She said. Immediately, all the girls bowed to her. "M'lady, it's an honor to meet you."

The next memory shows Cassandra who was stunt for a while before a grin broke over her face. She giggled to herself, "I did it! Ew....I really did it! I can't believe it! I just nobody saw--" She turns around as her smile faded. "--That."What she saw was a 15 year old boy. Chocolate brown hair. Red eyes. Light skin. Buttoned shirt, a cap on his head, it looks like. He was a teenage soldier, who looked horrified at Cassandra. He saw it, he saw her kill that beast. "Oh crap." Cassandra thought. "Busted! How do I get myself out of this?" She slowly smiled kindly, "Hello there---" she greeted but the boy lunged at her, "AAAAHHHH!" He cried. The boy begin to claw at her like a wild man. Trying to punch her but Cassandra restrained the boy. "Hey! Hey!" She protested, the boy did not yield. "Stop! Cease! Take it easy! Will you stop?! I am not going to hurt you!" Cassandra held the boy's fists away from her. "Who are you?!" The boy demanded. "My name is Cassandra. I swear, I will not hurt you. Here, I am not going to hurt--" She reaches over to touch his face but the boy recoiled away. "Get away, no! Don't you dare--Don't--" But he was helpless, Cassandra was calm as she stroke her hand on his face. At once, Cassandra could read his mind, know his name. But not completely of a lot. "Did you seriously kill that Revenant?" asked the boy, softly. Cassandra did a double take. "That's a Revenant?" She asked in disbelief. The boy looked at her with amazement, "You never seen one before?" he asked. "I heard of them..but in all honesty, I didn't know that was an actual Revenant!" Cassandra pointed out.

Just then, a voice called out. "Jack! Who are you talking to?" Another boy in the same uniform as the other guy's was standing there. He looked young, quite a fetching fellow. "Nobody!" Jack called, he turned back to Cassandra fiercely. "Listen, you gotta get out of here now!" He demanded. "Why? I can help!" Cassandra persisted. "No, you--" Jack started to say but the boy calls back: "Jack, who is that?" "No one!" Jack snapped. He turned to Cassandra with pleading eyes. "Please, get out now!" He begged. "I can help. I can hear that your thoughts are disoriented so--" Cassandra insisted, but Jack stopped her out of shock. "What?" He gasped. "You--you--can read minds? You can hear my thoughts inside of your own head?" "Of course I can." Cassandra said, in a matter of fact tone. Jack was shaken out of fear. The red haired boy appeared, "Jack? Who is this?" He asked. Cassandra smiled and held out her hand, "Cassandra Endymion. It's a pleasure to meet you." she said. The boy was stunt, he shook her hand though. "I'm Bellerophon Leseratte." He said. A girl with shoulder length hair appeared, wearing the same uniform as Jack and Bellerphon. "Boys, who is this girl?" She asked in a voice so soft but full of curiosity. "Wow, this your girlfriend?" Cassandra asked, to Jack. Jack glared at her, "She's not my girlfriend!" He declared. "Who are you? A witch?" The girl asked. "I am no witch, I am an ally and I came to help." Cassandra said. "No, she's--" Jack started to say, but the girl stopped him. "Hold up, Jack. This girl may able to help." She said, coming to Cassandra's rescue.

"Sh'yeah, I killed a Revenant." Cassandra admitted. Bellerphon and the girl were shocked. "How?!" They asked. "I have an ability where I can move obstacles or other things with my mental conscious." Cassandra explained. Bellerphon and the girl looked at each other, they turned to Jack. "You know about this?" Bellerphon asked. "Yeah, but she doesn't know what the military does here." Jack said. "Let her help, Jack. She can be of help to us." The girl said. Jack was irked but he agreed. Cassandra smiled with delight, "Thank you." She said. After seeing enough, Signora Rosaura let go as she try to process over what's going on and cannot think. But she had to know something, "Human...What's it like to be a human. Someone like her."

Chapter 6: Living Art--The Magic Seven 

Simply falling in love with someone, whether she feels the same way or not, is nowhere near a “sin”. It is seemingly out of her control. All bodies of water eventually end up in the ocean. The water has no choice in that matter. She knows that she really is being rather foolish by being willing to trust a boy she probably has not known for very long that she is just falling in love with him. It was just another ordinary day until she meets a boy who inspires her to look for the majesty and beauty in what others would find mundane. Cassandra walking past all the drama in life trying to get back to the one she loves. She doesn’t know exactly where she is going.She’s just seeing where life takes her. When she feels so loving to this person she wonders if they even, feel the same way, or know if she even feels that way. In the meantime; Melisande is in trouble, she's being hunted down by Leopold Nobel--The leader of Squad Nobel. But she's shocked to see that among the members of this squad is familiar people. Tybalt Volsung, aka Agent Deimos, and Isengrim Tyrfing, aka Agent Timor Phobos. Melisande recalled them, despite infatuated with the two back in the day. Melisande was the optimism to Tybalt's dark and despair persona, always advising him to see the 'bright side' while sharing music passion and great fighting skill with Isengrim. Melisande admired them for their talents and abilities: Tybalt controlled the shadows and Isengrim control his power of superhuman senses with a sonar so he could detect a lie from someone else's heartbeat. Since her past was troubled; Melisande knew no one--nor Tybalt or Isengrim--would fall for a 'murderer' such as herself. Now, she was suspected of the crime for the disappearances of the trio--Alexia, Demetri, and Kephas. They were going to find out what really happened! Melisande was forced to kill her family however that was wiped clean from the slate. Her life was really in danger, it was going to be ugly with Squad Nobel's best duo and 'ancient history of forgotten, lost loves' that were about to get personal. 

Cassandra stood in front of something that amazed at what she was doing, "A castle...Looks so medieval...Like the kind in fairy tales..." She said. She was so entranced and decides to enter inside. Whle she was in there; Cass looked around in the castle, "Hello? Anybody here?" She called out. Humiliated; Eulalie couldn't believe and heard Bendis laughing. Eulalie was filled with anger, hot boiling anger inside of her. All of a sudden; she felt the pain inside of her. Then, she snapped. Eulalie's hair turns mahogany hair and pulls a double axe weaponry as she laughed maniacally and begins fighting Bendis violentally, shocking Cassandra and the others! They could see her anger and hatred. In her rage of madness; Abela peers at the sun, with hatred, wanting it to go away. When people stare at the sun, they will burn their retinas, and all will go black. Revenge is what a bitter person means when they laugh, but, there’s nothing funny. Eulalie's heart is so polluted, that she is going to see everything tainted and her rejected love will be avenged. Eulalie goes from seeing a bright and cheery red door, and paints it black, to wanting everything to be black, for everyone, and by blotting out the sun, it is all over for every living thing, and she’ll get her revenge. Bendis looked at her, "Oh, you're beautiful? You being pretty, popular, usually rich girl fawned after by boys but presented as being vain and petty at the same time. You sleep with four boys in exchange for a necklace. But then others calls you out for your bargain. And everyone knows, everyone knows you do sleep with guys...What they don't know is that you're a nymphomaniac. Am I right? You are a nymphomaniac, that's why you're strutting your stuff." She droned on while sneering and chuckling. 

"Come on, admit it! You are a tramp and you have a lot of guys to sleep with! You are a so called socialite with a dumb blonde complex and a slut for having five boyfriends where they submit to their advances. You wanna have, like, ten thousand of their children! And then you're going to neglect them while banging more of those guys of yours!!!! If people you don't even know look at me and want to shag you, you really have a shot at being a model. A model for a pleasure seeker's fantasy magazine. For all we know you could be a topless model on page three. A glamour pin up girl, a trampy bombsell, or the most popular girl in school looking down her nose at the frumpy girl in glasses. You're also usually the princess of a wealthy and influential family, the star of the school or head sister of the influential college sorority house, who is a network of local celebrity, influence and wealth to exploit. You adept at putting on a friendly facade, the better to lull the unwary into letting defenses down. You're also quite the seductress, and consequently, all the boys fight amongst themselves — sometimes literally — to be your oppressed boyfriend. All this leaves you with the belief that you can do whatever you like without consequences. But in reality you're an ugly,  boring, and totally ordinary vamp and you know it." Tomorrow, it left to great consequences and horrid discoveries of the words Bendis said. 

"Having fun?" Pintosmalto asked. Cassandra turned around and glared at him who had a video camera in hand, "Stop video-taping me." She snapped. "Look, now that you and Signora Rosaura made up; I want to make you my project." Pintosmalto said. Cassandra looked at him, "Me? Pinto, you're weird but you really don't have to do that." She said. Pintosmalto looked brooding, "Yeah, I know. But I find you interested. I told you, I'm curious." He reminded. Cassandra smirked, "Let me borrow that for a second." She said, snatching the video camera from him and video tapes him, "Ah, now it's my turn to project you." She said. Pintosmalto smirked back, "Me?" He said. "What? Aren't you human?" Cassandra asked. Pintosmalto shrugged, "I don't know, can't you tell?" He teased. He took the camera back. "Hey!" Cassandra protested. Pintosmalto turned off the camera, "You owe me!" He said. Then, he leaned over and tried to kiss her. Cassandra couldn't believe this scandalous maneuver, "Oh--!" She gasped and dodged him. "Don't even, Signora Rosaura and I made up. Don't make it worse for me!" Cassandra prompted. Pintosmalto smirked, "I know, just messing with you." He said. Cassandra smirked, "I'll show you messing around." She hectored. Then, she leaned in and liplock with Pintosmalto but when she parted her lips away and was shocked. "Wait, how many of you are there?" Cassandra asked. "Seven." replied Romar. Cass looked surprised at this, "What? Seven?" She asked softly. Pintosmalto nodded, "Yeah." He said. Cassandra was so stunt that she could hardly speak, she felt the tears in her eyes as they cascaded down her cheeks. "Seven is magic." She whispered. Pintosmalto noticed, "Cassandra? Are you OK?" He asked. "Magic? Seven? It's just like before...Just like before the massacre....Reuben, Judy....All of them, I--I can't believe it...."  Cassandra mumbled to herself.


How could this be? Let's go back, back to the beginning...shall we? 

Earlier before....


There was a prince was sitting there looking bored. "Will you be much longer or what? I mean, it's like I got nothing better to do." He remarked. The painter noticed him putting his chin in his hand, "Your Highness, please try to remain still. I just need to color in and I'll be done in fifteen minutes." said the painter. But the Prince is annoyed, "Ugh, damn outfit. This looks ridiculous, I feel like a...a...swan!" He remarked. His father, Giuseppe, smiled as he said: "You look handsome, my liege." "Huh, it's all I do. I pose for pictures and portraits. Attends at parades, do nothing but smile and wave. Nothing more exciting or challenging." The prince said, he was getting up from the chair to walk around. "My son?" Giuseppe called out. The painter was annoyed, "I knew I should've come here." He muttered. He took his painting and try to follow the prince pacing about as he continued to rant, "I'm not just a swan for people to look like. I can speak several languages--Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Hungarian, Polish, Gaelic, and Russian. I can even count by 6's, 7's, and by 9 too!" The painter was frustrated at the fact the prince moving around, "Your Highness!" He called out. But the prince didn't heed as he continued to talk, "I don't care much of being a prince, I just want to be different. And do something for a change." The painter was exhausted and in exasperation. "How about you make a change of staying still, my liege! Everyone needs a copy of you of those portaits." He begged. "Everyone always has portraits of me in different clothes, I feel like 'what's the point'!" The prince said, he removed the clothes and changed into his comfortable clothes. Aloja turned to the frustrated painter and said to him, "Why don't you come back later? Our son might be in a better mood if you return." The painter nodded, "Good. I think my coffee break is calling me." He remarked. 


Once the painter left; King Giuseppe went to see him, who was lying on his bed. "My son?" He asked. "I know what your going to say, I wasn't on my best behavior." said The prince. "No, that's not. I've noticed that you've been this way, what has gotten you to feel this way?" said Giuseppe. "Father, have you ever feel like you're lucky to have servants and a palace to live in? But then you look out and see that not everyone is so fortunate as we are?" The prince asked. Giuseppe's face soften, "I guess. Now that you mention it, I have." He admitted. "I just feel like I'm not living up to my potential, Father. I would like to be a real service to the community, to my home here. Maybe help out at schools or hospitals." The prince said. Giuseppe knew where he was getting at, the prince was taking a ride in the country side. When he looked out there, he saw homeless people, people with sickly complexions, orphans, people dying, and other great terrors. The prince couldn't believe what he was seeing here, he felt bad and thought about the life he was living in. In the meantime, Goram was getting to know Cassandra's gang members of Brother 10: "So, let me get this straight....You all have powers like manipulate the element of earth, have enhanced hearing and sight.....and you become a Revenant to destroy the Revenant race for the loss of your mother." He said. Juniper nodded, "Yeah, you got that right." He replied. "Members have come and go, just like these other guys that lefr for different reasons, but all of us--including Juniper, Loftr, and Jack--stuck together in this brotherhood no matter what." Lleu explained. Goram was really intrigued, "Interesting, that's quite a lot." He said. Then, he realized something and spoke it out, "But wait, there isn't ten of you." Loftr shrugged, "So? Maybe there's no ten in Brother 10 but it's the true companionship rather than the number." He said. Borvo piped up as he showed his hands and feet as he exclaimed, "Yeah, and we have ten! Ten fingers and ten piggy toes!" The others laughed, and Borvo did as well. Cass didn't laughed but she smiled as she was happy to be with her friends. She felt sad as she missed her former friends however she understood but missed them so much. 


However, Cassandra was called in for a mission! She had to visit a place in Shinsi. When she got to Shinsi by herself; Cassandra stood in front of something that amazed at what she was doing, "A castle...Looks so medieval...Like the kind in fairy tales..." She said. She was so entranced and decides to enter inside. Whle she was in there; Cass looked around in the castle, "Hello? Anybody here?" She called out. Nobody answered, this was getting too weird. All of a sudden, she heard a noise that made her jump and armed herself in preparation. "Who's there? Show yourself, I know you're there!" She called. As if on cue, there was a mysterious boy, Caucasian male, with short black scruffy-looking  hair has grown longer past his ears and blue cyan eyes. He is well-muscled with a v-shaped torso, broad shoulders and clearly defined muscles. He wears a dark green shirt, army jacket and blue jeans with blue and black shoes. But something was wrong with this guy and Cassandra pointed a gun at him, "Get back, get back!" She said. She started shooting however she is shocked that the bullets missed somehow. Cassandra couldn't believe it, she begin to walk backwards. Had a hard time to breathe. "What. Are. You?" Cassandra said, she walk backwards to a staircase and almost fell however she is saved by the mysterious boy. Cassandra looked up, she blushed at how cute this guy was: "Uh...Hi." She replied awkwardly. "What are you doing here?" The boy demanded. Cassandra was shaken, "You talk? I mean, I--Who you are?" She inquired. The mysterious boy looked at her, "Son of Queen Aloja and King Giuseppe, Prince Pintosmalto." He answered. Cassandra gazed at him with amazement, "Pintosmalto, that's a very unusual name." She remarked. Pintosmalto nodded, "Very, but enough about me, tell me who you are." He said. Cassandra sighed so she begins to explain and Pintosmalto softens to her when he learns what is going on. However they were interrupted by people, they seemed to be his friends. 


"Pinto, who is she?" asked a 15 year old looking girl. Cassandra smiled, "I'm just a visitor." She said. Pintosmalto introduced her to the others, "This is Cassandra Endymion...Agent?" He said. Cassandra pulled out her badge, "Silver Branch Agency." She explained. Cassandra meets these people as Prince Pintosmalto's friends: Signora Rosaura 'Nora Rose', Betta Pepper, Tithonus Falke, Romar Candlewick, Ronald Harlequin and Theobald Punch. Cassandra was amazed, "Wait, how many of you are there?" She asked. "Seven." replied Romar. Cass looked surprised at this, "What? Seven?" She asked softly. Pintosmalto nodded, "Yeah." He said. Cassandra was so stunt that she could hardly speak, she felt the tears in her eyes as they cascaded down her cheeks. "Seven is magic." She whispered. Pintosmalto noticed, "Cassandra? Are you OK?" He asked. "Magic? Seven? It's just like before...Just like before the massacre....Reuben, Judy....All of them, I--I can't believe it...."  Cassandra mumbled to herself. That's when she nearly fainted, "Cass!" Pintosmalto called. Later by the river; Cassandra was looking at the water lapping but she stopped when she hears a music box behind her and looks at it, the song sounds familiar to her. But as she looks up, she notices someone is video-taping her. Cass realized it's Pintosmalto and she feels creeped out. She went back inside the castle, wondering what the heck was going on with this guy. Pintosmalto put the camera away and sighed. Just then, he turned around to see his girlfriend. Signora Rosaura has short auburn hair with white streaks as bangs in the front of her hair. She has grey eyes and a pale skin complexion, and she wears purplish-blackish makeup and lipstick. She wears a sheer long-sleeved green blouse over a black halter top, a short black leather skirt and black leggings. She wears thick combat boots, and dog collars around her neck and wrists. Black gloves cover her hands and easily come off when Nora Rosa needs them to.


Today she looked upset. "Why are you filming her?" Signora Rosaura demanded. Pintosmalto didn't know what to say, "She--she's just a project really." He insisted. "Don't lie to me, Pinto. What is she to you?" Signora Rosaura begged. "It's not what you think--" claimed Pintosmalto but he was slapped by her. He was stunt by the slap. "DO YOU LOVE HER?!" Signora Rosaura shouted. Pintosmalto held out a hand, "No, Signora Rosaura...I love you, but I don't have feelings for her." He said. Signora Rosaura looked at him, "Oh really? Then what is it?" She asked. Pintosmalto looked at her, "I just want to see more human behavior from her." He explained. The next day, Pintosmalto appeared before Cass with a music box. "You like it?" asked Pintosmalto, he then closed the music box. Cassandra looked away, "Um, just thought the song was beautiful. That's all." She claimed. "Me too, I think the song is wonderful." agreed Pintosmalto. "Yeah, sure." Cassandra replied, looking annoyed. Pintosmalto noticed her attitude, "What's wrong? Did I do something to upset you?" He asked. Cassandra glanced at him, "Why were you filming me?" She demanded. Pintosmalto realized what he did, "Uh...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm not an obsessing stalker." He explained. Cassandra didn't believe him, "Uh huh." She said. "I'm just curious." Pintosmalto remarked. Cassandra looked at him with disbelief, "You're just curious? Don't you have a life?" She snapped. "I do, but you seemed interested. Very different." Pintosmlato spoke. Cassandra moved away, "Stop trippin'!" She proclaimed. Pintosmalto looked at her with confusion, "Trippin'?" He inquired. Cassandra felt like smacking her forehead, she couldn't believe she said that! "Sorry, that came out wrong. I meant to say was, 'stop lying'." She said. "Why would I lie?" asked Pintosmalto. Cassandra glared at him, "People I know do, I can't trust people." She said. Pintosmalto was perplexed, "You can't trust people?" He said. Cassandra sighed however she decides to get off the subject by asking Pintosmalto about himself and he told her that he had a girlfriend. "You have a girlfriend?" Cassandra asked. 


"Yeah." Pintosmalto remarked. "And she's mad at me? She thinks I'm trying to take you away from her?" guessed Cassandra. Stunt by how she knew this, Pintosmalto nodded. Cass sighed, "You know, I'm not the type to tell you that your girl sucks and get with me. I like you, Pinto but as a friend." She said. Pintosmalto nodded, "I know, I apologize." He said. "It's OK, it's not..." Cassandra assured him however she realized something, "Oh man, just like--!" She thought. Later that night, Cassandra was back at Silver Branch and was working when she sensed something. Just then, she is summoned by her allies. "Uh, Cass? I think you wanna see this." Goram said nervously. Cassandra looked out the window, her name was light up in neon lights. "Oh crap, it's him!" She gasped. "Huh? Who's him?" asked Goram, confused. "He must be filming me right now!" Cassandra claimed, rushing away. Still perplexed; Goram called out: "Uh, Cass? Is there something you want to tell me?" Ignoring him, Cassandra sat as she begins to have memories coming back to her, her friends and her were happy back in the day. That night; Cassandra was having flashbacks of her friends before the prom massacre, she couldn't eat or sleep as she begin to wandering out of bed and went out in the night. Someone sure didn't sleep as well; Signora Rosaura was working when she looked up and see her, "Cass, is that you?" She asked. Cass looked up, "Nora Rose?" She asked. Signora Rosaura helped her up on her feet, "What happened? You look scared." noted Nora Rose. Cassandra didn't know what to say, "I--I--" "Come on, let me help you. Maybe you should let me be of assistance." suggested Signora Rosaura. Cassandra couldn't believe it, "Nora Rose..." She muttered. "Cassandra, you're shivering. Here, let me draw you a bath." remarked Signora Rosaura, leading her inside. "Yeah, thanks." Cassandra said, touched by her kindness and found herself smiling at her. "Anything for a friend." Nora Rosa answered. The next day, Cassandra was outside again and was really enjoying the great outdoors, the sky was blue and the breeze felt nice as she closed her eyes to feel it brushed against her. "Having fun?" Pintosmalto asked. 


Cassandra turned around and glared at him who had a video camera in hand, "Stop video-taping me." She snapped. "Look, now that you and Signora Rosaura made up; I want to make you my project." Pintosmalto said. Cassandra looked at him, "Me? Pinto, you're weird but you really don't have to do that." She said. Pintosmalto looked brooding, "Yeah, I know. But I find you interested. I told you, I'm curious." He reminded. Cassandra smirked, "Let me borrow that for a second." She said, snatching the video camera from him and video tapes him, "Ah, now it's my turn to project you." She said. Pintosmalto smirked back, "Me?" He said. "What? Aren't you human?" Cassandra asked. Pintosmalto shrugged, "I don't know, can't you tell?" He teased. He took the camera back. "Hey!" Cassandra protested. Pintosmalto turned off the camera, "You owe me!" He said. Then, he leaned over and tried to kiss her. Cassandra couldn't believe this scandalous maneuver, "Oh--!" She gasped and dodged him. "Don't even, Signora Rosaura and I made up. Don't make it worse for me!" Cassandra prompted. Pintosmalto smirked, "I know, just messing with you." He said. Cassandra smirked, "I'll show you messing around." She hectored. Then, she leaned in and liplock with Pintosmalto but when she parted her lips away and was shocked. "Oh god, I'm so sorry..." She said. Tears in her eyes, Pintosmalto try to reach over however Cassandra placed a hand up to stop him, "Excuse me!" She said politely and left Pintosmalto. While Cassandra walked away, she tried to deny it. She didn't want to hurt Signora Rosaura and Pintosmalto. But she didn't, she couldn't help it. Simply falling in love with someone, whether she feels the same way or not, is nowhere near a “sin”. It is seemingly out of her control. All bodies of water eventually end up in the ocean. The water has no choice in that matter. She knows that she really is being rather foolish by being willing to trust a boy she probably has not known for very long that she is just falling in love with him. It was just another ordinary day until she meets a boy who inspires her to look for the majesty and beauty in what others would find mundane. Cassandra walking past all the drama in life trying to get back to the one she loves. She doesn’t know exactly where she is going.She’s just seeing where life takes her. When she feels so loving to this person she wonders if they even, feel the same way, or know if she even feels that way.


As she was walking by; Cassandra learned the truth of Prince Pintosmalto and his friends from eavesdropping on Giuseppe and Aloja: It was a long time ago, King Giuseppe Kian was a woodcarver and an inventor who never wanted to marry however everything changed when a lady with tattered clothes and hair came by to ask for some food. Giuseppe was not only known for his wood-carving but for his kindness as well as he offered the lady some food and she was on her way. However, a fairy with blue clothing came to the king to offer his hand in marriage. Her name is Queen Aloja as she was the disguise of the tattered girl while she announce Giuseppe passed the test. And so, Giuseppe and Aloja were wedded as they became king and queen. Nevertheless; their happiness came down of hardship. It turns out Aloja could not conceived, meaning she cannot have any children. So, Giuseppe carved a life size of a young man as a tall teenager while also looking handsome and strong hearted. Aloja used her magic to bring the boy to life and thus, he was the prince--Pintosmalto. Giuseppe's brother, Mangiafuoco, had life size dolls too and Aloja brought them to life. Their names were Betta Pepper, Ronald, and Theobald Punch. And the same goes for Giuseppe's good friend, Palendina, had life size dolls too: Romar Candlestick, Signora Rosaura, and Tithonus Falke. So, Aloja brought them to life as Pintosmalto and the others became more 'human'. However; they have supernatural gifts. Pintosmalto had the powers of telekinesis, Ronald has the ability to read minds, Betta has the gift of reading thoughts through skin contact, Romar has the power of accelerate healing, Signora Rosaura has the gift of absorbing memories and powers of others, Tithonus has the power of clairvoyance, and Theobald has the ability of flight. All from the Queen Aloja. Interested in this gifts; Mimir offered that they have blood tests but unknown to them, they were being offered of a serum for the soon to be special agent. Cassandra couldn't believe this, she was shocked by this! 

In the meantime; Melisande is in trouble, she's being hunted down by Leopold Nobel--The leader of Squad Nobel. But she's shocked to see that among the members of this squad is familiar people: Belen Volsung, Hermeline Kauno,Curtis Volsung, Grimbeert Blynde, and Cuward Ratotosk, Tybalt Volsung, aka Agent Deimos, and Isengrim Tyrfing, aka Agent Timor Phobos. Melisande recalled them, despite infatuated with the two back in the day. Melisande was the optimism to Tybalt's dark and despair persona, always advising him to see the 'bright side' while sharing music passion and great fighting skill with Isengrim. Melisande admired them for their talents and abilities: Tybalt controlled the shadows and Isengrim control his power of superhuman senses with a sonar so he could detect a lie from someone else's heartbeat. Since her past was troubled; Melisande knew no one--nor Tybalt or Isengrim--would fall for a 'murderer' such as herself. Now, she was suspected of the crime for the disappearances of the trio--Alexia, Demetri, and Kephas. They were going to find out what really happened! Melisande was forced to kill her family however that was wiped clean from the slate. Her life was really in danger, it was going to be ugly with Squad Nobel's best duo and 'ancient history of forgotten, lost loves' that were about to get personal. She heard the door knocking and she enters it to see 'them'. "Can I help you boys?" asked Melisande. "Could you come with us to the station? We need to ask you a few question." said Tybalt. Melisande pretended to look suspicious, "And you are...?" She inquired. "Tybalt Volsung, and this is my partner Isengrim Tyrfing." explained Tybalt. Melisande nodded, "Sure....um....Allow me to change into something more appropriate. It'll only take a minute, come on in." She said. Once she was changed; Melisande was being interrogated by Nobel and the others: "Lady Melisande, did you kill Alexia? Demetri? And Kephas?" Nobel inquired. Melisande smiled with no humor, "You know, I'd have to be pretty stupid to announce how three people are dead and how people compared it to the way I killed my family by force. That's crazy, I'm no crazy and I'm no luantic Sergeant Nobel." She said. Isengrim glared at her, "Like playing games, huh." He said. "No, not really." Melisande said with a shrug. Isengrim sighed, "What did you know about the trio? Tell us." He said. 


"They were feared by a man who had abused and tortured them. The place I found was a complete hell." explained Melisande. "Were you scared?" Tybalt asked. "Disturbed is the correct word than scared, hon. I mean, I found blood and droppings. Made me want to puke." said Melisande. The rest looked shocked and disgusted, "That's nasty." Tybalt remarked. Melisande shuddered, "I know." She agreed. Bendis taunts them before she turned around to Eulalie, "And what about you, Eulalie? You got a thing for Vincent?" Bendis taunted. "What?" Eulalie asked, concerned. Bendis reached into her coat pocket while muttering, "Hmm, let's see...Where did I put it....?" Then she pulls out a book that was black, "Ah-ha! Here it is. A journal." She pulled it out and begins to read them as Eulalie looks at her suspicious: "'I really wish Vincent would have feelings for me. As I stand outside of my crush’s house, the reflection of myself on his window makes it look as though I'm inside the house, than looking out. I long for the day when I'm his and welcome inside the house rather than lurking outside of it......'" Humiliated; Bendis couldn't believe and heard Bendis laughing. Eulalie was filled with anger, hot boiling anger inside of her. All of a sudden; she felt the pain inside of her. Then, she snapped. Eulalie's hair turns mahogany hair and pulls a double axe weaponry as she laughed maniacally and begins fighting Bendis violentally, shocking Cassandra and the others! They could see her anger and hatred. In her rage of madness; Abela peers at the sun, with hatred, wanting it to go away. When people stare at the sun, they will burn their retinas, and all will go black. Revenge is what a bitter person means when they laugh, but, there’s nothing funny. Eulalie's heart is so polluted, that she is going to see everything tainted and her rejected love will be avenged. Eulalie goes from seeing a bright and cheery red door, and paints it black, to wanting everything to be black, for everyone, and by blotting out the sun, it is all over for every living thing, and she’ll get her revenge. Just then, a bunch of cherubic little Cupid looking people that looked infancy but control a black robotic stallion called The Ebony Horse. The leader is Arash and there are other members: Germain, Canace, Algarsyf and Cambalo. They managed to stop Eulalie as they were sent by Mimir to calm her down. 


As Bendis and Magda made their escape; they are chased by Ophelia, Roland, Ace, Janus, Ursa, Astrild, Jade, and Saron. Ophelia and her friends successfully kidnapped the two girls, Bendis refused to talk so Magda decided to talk. She was getting sick of her cousin's antics and begins to explain how they went through hell in their family and Bendis was being mistreated. However Bendis was being a bully to vent out the pain. The worse one of all was in middle school...Bendis and Magda were taking the bus as Bendis cracked some jokes. "Did you hear about the blonde corn maze?" asked Bendis. Magda shook her head, "What?" She asked. "It only had one stalk." admitted Bendis and they both laugh. Bendis had another joke, "Why do blondes wear their hair up?" She asked. "Why?" Magda inquired. "To catch everything that goes over their heads." answered Bendis, again they both laugh. "What's the mating call of the blonde?" questioned Bendis. "What's the mating call?" Magda said. Bendis pretend to sound intoxicated, "'I'm sooooo drunk!'" She said. Bendis was on her last joke, "What goes: vroooom-schreech, vrooom-schreech, vroooom-schreech?" She asked. Magda looked at her with a questioning look. "A blonde at a flashing red light." Bendis blurted out, and they both laugh. In school; Bendis took upon herself to taunt her vampy, blonde rival name Nicole. Nicole is known to be inspired by Toutebelle Riche, who is a brainless blonde beauty that become a celebrity after her softcore skin flick hit shelves after becoming famous and Nicole does the impressions of being a dumb blonde and acts hot so much that Bendis thinks she's a tramp and begins to make a joke to humiliate her:  "A woman went to the doctor today and said, 'After every date, I end up in bed. I can simply refuse no man, and afterwards, I feel like a tramp and an idiot.' Then, the doctor said: 'Very well, I'll give you some pills, and you'll have no problem refusing...' But the woman said, 'No, doctor, not something to be able to refuse. Give me pills so I won't feel like a tramp and an idiot.'" Bendis blurted out. 

The class laughed; except Magda, Nicole, and the teacher. The teacher was annoyed, "Thank you for sharing, Bendis. Now then, let's move on." She said. While on the subject; the teacher then asked Nicole about her paper she worked on and Nicole claimed she forgot it. Bendis was annoyed so she taunts her once again. "Flash your high beams, Nikki girl?"  taunted Bendis. Nicole glared at her, "Shut up, Bendis." She hissed. "Well, look at those apples!" Bendis replied, gesturing to her buxom chest. "Shut the hell up, Bendis!" Nicole claimed. "Well, that's what you do." Bendis said in a snide tone. The teacher glared at them, "Ladies, enough!" She said. Just when it seemed like it was over; Bendis smirked at her and said, "She sucks on bananas, and I'm not talking about the fruit." Everyone gasped and Nicole glared at her. "Why are you taunting me, Bendis?" Nicole snapped. "'Cause you're a vamp." Bendis remarked. Nicole is stunt to hear this, "Oh, you're killing me with that one." She said while laughing. Then she stands up and announces to the class, "Hey everybody--I am tramp. I have tons of shagging with guys, and collect money." Then she smirks over at Bendis as she said: "See, I am invincible while you are just a holy maiden and I find that Nikoali guy so hot!" Angry; Bendis pouncing on her, "You bitch!" She cried. "I'll eat you alive, you asshole!" Nicole cried out, trying to run however Bendis lunges at Nicole, the two of them wrestle until the teacher and her assistant pulled her off. Bendis calmed down until she announced, "OK, Strip Search! Remember this Trampton? Search for any vamp, dirty explicity--you know what I mean? We need to find tapes and some evidence of her 'work' too. Oh, let's not forget the hustlers right?" "Cut it out, Bendis!" Magda called out. Bendis ignored her protests, "Oh, isn't it fetch? But stop trying to make fetch happen! It's not going to happen, Vamperella! What's the matter? You're hips are huge? You hate your calves? Got man shoulders? Hairline weird? Pores huge Nail beds suck? Good, you don't look hot to me!" She rambled. Nicole was ticked, "Why are you so obsessed with me, Bendis? WHY ARE YOU BEING SUCH A WITCH?!" She demanded. Bendis sneered at her, "Because you're a Toutebelle Riche wannabe! That's why I hate you, you're a brainless beauty and a dumb blonde!" She replied. Since her verbal aggression and physical fight with Nicole; Bendis was forced to go to her house and apologize to her. If she didn't, Bendis was suspended.


Magda convinced her and Bendis reluctantly agrees. Bendis went to Nicole's house, which is a two story house that looked so fancy. Bendis felt her hatred but swallows it when she saw Nicole and came to tell her she apologized. Nicole decided to accept her apologize and offer the girls something to eat and drink, that's when Bendis discover something so scandalous about Nicole that's too shocking for words. "And the tramp has spoken!" Bendis said with a sneer. Magda looked at her, "Bendis!" She protested. "You crazy witch!" Nicole interjected. Bendis laughed, "I'm kinda sick in the head, did you know that? Or are you too busy flipping your skirt for guys to see your panties." She said. Annoyed; Magda cried out, "Bendis, cut it out!" But Bendis ignored her as she continues, "Help me out here, you are a tease right so how does it explain these catty pictures of you with wearing a blonde wig with a bikini. And look here's you with...Oooh, I'm not going to say because of 'children' in the room. Beauty and brains are mutually exclusive for you, 'cause your a brainless beauty. Showing off your panties, flashng your 'high beams', and going naked. 'Bend and snap' while bending over and showing off. How can you be a brainless beauty while trying to be a whistleblower. There's also a fine line between a holy maiden and a temptress. Tell me how you managed to fill in that slot, give it to me you hooker." Nicole looked at her with a glare, "I am not a hooker." She said. Bendis nodded, "I'll bet you are not but hookers are the paradigm of purity right?" She asked. Magda groaned, face palming her forehead. Nicole looked over at Bendis, "You're just jealous, Bendis, I'm beautiful...So beautiful that hurts...."  She said. 


Bendis looked at her, "Oh, you're beautiful? You being pretty, popular, usually rich girl fawned after by boys but presented as being vain and petty at the same time. You sleep with four boys in exchange for a necklace. But then others calls you out for your bargain. And everyone knows, everyone knows you do sleep with guys...What they don't know is that you're a nymphomaniac. Am I right? You are a nymphomaniac, that's why you're strutting your stuff." She droned on while sneering and chuckling. Magda glared at her with disbelief, "SHUT UP, BENDIS!!!" She screamed.  Again, Bendis did not listen: "Come on, admit it! You are a tramp and you have a lot of guys to sleep with! You are a so called socialite with a dumb blonde complex and a slut for having five boyfriends where they submit to their advances. You wanna have, like, ten thousand of their children! And then you're going to neglect them while banging more of those guys of yours!!!! If people you don't even know look at me and want to shag you, you really have a shot at being a model. A model for a pleasure seeker's fantasy magazine. For all we know you could be a topless model on page three. A glamour pin up girl, a trampy bombsell, or the most popular girl in school looking down her nose at the frumpy girl in glasses. You're also usually the princess of a wealthy and influential family, the star of the school or head sister of the influential college sorority house, who is a network of local celebrity, influence and wealth to exploit. You adept at putting on a friendly facade, the better to lull the unwary into letting defenses down. You're also quite the seductress, and consequently, all the boys fight amongst themselves — sometimes literally — to be your oppressed boyfriend. All this leaves you with the belief that you can do whatever you like without consequences. But in reality you're an ugly,  boring, and totally ordinary vamp and you know it." She ranted. As she said that; Nicole was so shocked that she couldn't move nor speak. Finally; she said to her: "Screw. You. Butch." Afterward in the morning, it left to great consequences of the words Bendis said. 

Ophelia and the others were shocked to hear what happens next, Nicole had took her own life because of what Bendis said to her. Magda was devastated to find Nicole's body and Bendis took the pictures to exposed her as a tramp to the school. Ophelia is speechless by how far Bendis was before she did what she had done to Eulalie. Meanwhile at night, Cassandra had a dream, not a nightmare and not a bad dream but it was a peaceful memory of the prom: May 30th, Venusir Academy's end of the year prom raged of music and dancing. These people are there to celebrate the senior high school students' last day before they graduate. There were high school graduates: 20 year old Cassandra Endymion, who was having a blast with friends: Reuben, Judy, Danielle, Asher, Benjamin, Josephine, and Ephraim. This will be their last day with one another so they decide to make the most of the night with one another. Then, it started: a man in a tuxedo came up to the microphone and said, "All right! It's time to announce the winners of this year's Prom King and Queen." He had a small envelope in his hand and rips it up. "And the winners are....REUBEN MATTHEWS AND JUDY DAVIS!" Everyone broke into an applause, Reuben and Judy went to the stage to accept their crowns as Judy is given a bouquet of roses. She woke up as she could see Pintosmalto and the others in place of her other friends. She thought of the first memory of Pinto: Cassandra pointed a gun at him, "Get back, get back!" She said. She started shooting however she is shocked that the bullets missed somehow. Cassandra couldn't believe it, she begin to walk backwards. Had a hard time to breathe. "What. Are. You?" Cassandra said, she walk backwards to a staircase and almost fell however she is saved by the mysterious boy. Cassandra looked up, she blushed at how cute this guy was: "Uh...Hi." She replied awkwardly. "What are you doing here?" The boy demanded. Cassandra was shaken, "You talk? I mean, I--Who you are?" She inquired. The mysterious boy looked at her, "Son of Queen Aloja and King Giuseppe, Prince Pintosmalto." He answered. 

Cassandra gazed at him with amazement, "Pintosmalto, that's a very unusual name." She remarked. Pintosmalto nodded, "Very, but enough about me, tell me who you are." He said. Cassandra was clutching her head as she wondered, "Why?" At the river, Cassandra was all right but she stopped when she hears a music box behind her and looks at it, the song sounds familiar to her. But as she looks up, she notices someone is video-taping her. Cass realized it's Pintosmalto and she feels creeped out. She went back inside the castle, wondering what the heck was going on with this guy. Cassandra moaned to herself, "Why?" She gasped out. "What's wrong? Did I do something to upset you?" He asked. Cassandra glanced at him, "Why were you filming me?" She demanded. Pintosmalto realized what he did, "Uh...I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm not an obsessing stalker." He explained. Cassandra didn't believe him, "Uh huh." She said. "I'm just curious." Pintosmalto remarked. Cassandra looked at him with disbelief, "You're just curious? Don't you have a life?" She snapped. "I do, but you seemed interested. Very different." Pintosmlato spoke. Cassandra moved away, "Stop trippin'!" She proclaimed. Pintosmalto looked at her with confusion, "Trippin'?" He inquired.  Cassandra felt like smacking her forehead, she couldn't believe she said that! "Sorry, that came out wrong. I meant to say was, 'stop lying'." She said. "Why would I lie?" asked Pintosmalto. Cassandra glared at him, "People I know do, I can't trust people." She said. Pintosmalto was perplexed, "You can't trust people?" He said. "You have a girlfriend?" Cassandra asked. "Yeah." Pintosmalto remarked. "And she's mad at me? She thinks I'm trying to take you away from her?" guessed Cassandra. Stunt by how she knew this, Pintosmalto nodded. Cass sighed, "You know, I'm not the type to tell you that your girl sucks and get with me. I like you, Pinto but as a friend." She said. Pintosmalto nodded, "I know, I apologize." He said. Cassandra cried out in pain, not physical pain but mental and emotional pain. "So much, so much like him...." She moaned. 

It was too much as more memories begin to flood her brain: "Having fun?" Pintosmalto asked. Cassandra turned around and glared at him who had a video camera in hand, "Stop video-taping me." She snapped. "Look, now that you and Signora Rosaura made up; I want to make you my project." Pintosmalto said. Cassandra looked at him, "Me? Pinto, you're weird but you really don't have to do that." She said. Pintosmalto looked brooding, "Yeah, I know. But I find you interested. I told you, I'm curious." He reminded. Cassandra smirked, "Let me borrow that for a second." She said, snatching the video camera from him and video tapes him, "Ah, now it's my turn to project you." She said. Pintosmalto smirked back, "Me?" He said. "What? Aren't you human?" Cassandra asked. Pintosmalto shrugged, "I don't know, can't you tell?" He teased. He took the camera back. "Hey!" Cassandra protested. Pintosmalto turned off the camera, "You owe me!" He said. Then, he leaned over and tried to kiss her. Cassandra couldn't believe this scandalous maneuver, "Oh--!" She gasped and dodged him. "Don't even, Signora Rosaura and I made up. Don't make it worse for me!" Cassandra prompted. Pintosmalto smirked, "I know, just messing with you." He said. Cassandra smirked, "I'll show you messing around." She hectored. Then, she leaned in and liplock with Pintosmalto but when she parted her lips away and was shocked. Cassandra was thrashing about violently, "WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME?!" She screamed. Cassandra telekinetically made cracks and broke something. Goram and the others enter inside to help her out, Cass calmed down and tried not to think about it so much.

This is Über*Fremden 3: Daughters of Valkyrie; this stars three Valkyries who learn of their heritage and help people while kicking bad guys' asses! I hope you guys like it, please read and comment if you like this story. Thank You! --KatDon 

In a room with posters on the wall with animes: Fairy Tail, Attack on Titan, Bleach, Naruto Shippuden, One Piece, Blue Exorcist, Sword Art Online, Tokyo Ghoul, Soul Eater, and Future Diary. Once again; Nana is reading a book and seemed so engrossed in it so much that she didn't noticed someone enter until she looked up to see someone come in and smiled at them with her full attention on them: "Oh, it's you. Remember me? Nana Wendell? Here we are again with another tale. I thought you'd come around again, I am delighted to see you lovely birds once more and as you can see, I have another enlightening story. This isn't about Tony and his friends, sorry but this is better. It's about half human-half Valkyrie young ladies. Now this is where all the fun begins, Valkyrie is a female angel being who are known as 'chooser of the slain'.  OK, let's begin afresh, shall we? Here we go...!" She turned the page and starts with another legend....In the hero business, many of us are hot for a minute, but fade over time. The same is true of the reverse, where certain heroes can come out of nowhere to become a “gold” standard for the industry. We're brought into the world once but those are other peoples choices and dreams. But when people like us are reborn in our own--whether living like this were for me. We're like cherry blossoms are beautiful flowers that bloom in the spring, but quickly fall off about a week after full bloom. They are poisoned. They are dying, and they are ruined. They could scream forever from the anguish they have felt. How could something grow to be strong and healthy when we're  ruined in the beginning?

Here she was, asleep again. 10 year old Elyssa Jacob dreamt for so long, even around morning. That's when she woke up with a start. Elyssa saw someone peering down at her, it was her 9 year old sisterr Medina. "Medina, what are you doing peering at me like that?" Elyssa asked in a groggy tone. "You were supposed to be ready, I was waiting for you to wake up. We were supposed to go to the Esaus' house, remember? It's Perissa's birthday." Medina explained. Elyssa groaned in disbelief, she couldn't believe it. She'd forgotten about that, it was Perissa's tenth birthday today! She couldn't believe she forgotten about it. "Sorry, tell Mom to wait for me. I'll be right down." said Elyssa. Medina nodded as she headed out. A few seconds later, Elyssa was dressed as she was walking with her mother and sister to the Esaus' house. It wasn't that far, it was just a short walking distance. They went to see their cousin, Perissa, as well as their aunt Diviana Esau. Elyssa and Medina's mother was Aphordita Jacobs as she was so beautiful however Elyssa, Medina, and Perissa were much prettier as they were. Aphrodita has curly, strawberry blonde hair and tall while her lips are full and red while her sister Diviana has billows of gently waving, caramel-colored hair. But the three girls are much more stunning and radiant: Elyssa has a very pale complexion that has pinkish undertones, she has long, wavy, dark brown hair, unique chocolate brown eyes and a heart-shaped face with a wide forehead. Her eyes are large and widely spaced. Her nose is thin and her cheekbones are prominent. Her lips are a bit too full for her slim jawline. Her eyebrows are darker than her hair and are straighter. Medina has long, lustrous mahogany hair and light skin as she is the most gorgeous young girl that anyone has ever seen. And Perissa has medium wavy blond hair, light skin, pink rosy cheeks, shell-pink lips, pale lavender eyelids, and pink palms. During the celebration; the family was under attack by a group of men, one of them attacked Elyssa and then there was a struggle between them, Elyssa tried to get the savage man off her however Aphrodita and Diviana protected them however they are tortured while stripped from their clothes and were killed before the three girls. 

Elyssa screamed, then she fainted from seeing the sight of blood. Medina and Perissa were so scared as they couldn't believe what they just witnessed, they were relieved Elyssa was OK but that was short lived when they found out that their mothers are dead by those perverted, violent men. These men were nothing ordinary, these were the male only group known as Neo Gargarean of Mundi Hominum. They were the enemy to Amazon and were the barbarians. Elyssa learns something shocking on a last will from Aphrodita: "My dearest Elyssa, I have to confess....You are not my daughter. I know this is hard to believe but I wanted to tell you on your twelfth birthday. You are the daughter of a Valkyrie name Chrysogone Valraven, Medina is your sister and Perissa is not your cousin--She is your sister too. Please forgive me, I hope you are not mad at me but it was the only way, I had to hide you away from the terror of Neo Gargarean. They are evil, pigs, loathsome to Earth Mother that respect by the evil Sky Father. Go to Neo Amazon, train yourself m'lady as you're the Valkyrie princess to save us all from the darkness of Mundi Hominum." After reading the shocking letter; Elyssa research on the feminine military squad, Neo Amazon, was located in Terra Feminarum. Medina and Perissa learn about Elyssa's intentions so they talk to her. "Elyssa, are you sure about this?" Medina asked. "I'm dead serious, I'm going to see if I can be part of this squad." Elyssa said enthusiastically. "Then, I'm coming along." Medina replied. "No. Way." Heyoka said. "I am!" Medina insisted. "I'm sick of being bullied all the time! It's high time I stand up and fight--Even if I'm pushed to the limit." "Me too." said Perissa. Elyssaa glared at her, "Nobody is following me anywhere! This is my burden to bare, not you!" "So?" Perissa said, "We're not coming with you by being concern for you, we got our own struggles to bare. I'm going to find out who would do such a thing to Aphrodita and Diviana." Elyssa looks at her and then she said, "OK. It's settled then, we're doing it together." Medina and Perissa  nodded at this. They were going to find their liberation from the male group of Neo Gargarean. But it looked like their lives was also going to change for good. 

Years later....

17 year old Perissa screams and wakes up to the sunrise, relieved that it was all a dream. And she was in the the bedlam house. Poor Perissa. She's lost her grip on sanity. She's stark raving mad. This was no hospital paradise, no sleek modern psychiatric facility with freshly-washed sheets. No nice nurses or friendly doctors. There was nothing she could do. Perissa couldn't take it anymore with the shock therapy, the bloodletting, and other horrible experiments. She fights back, and the nurses tried to restrained her however something inside Perissa was burst out from her. Once the bottle of her superpowers is opened, it can't be sealed again. And water splashed from her hands. Later; Perissa is sitting on the ground, she slowly begins to stand up and makes her way through the deserted hallway. Perissa then sees a nurse in a room who's stricken with fear and closes the door, realizing that she is the cause of the damage. As Perissa makes her way outside the school building, a police car arrives and the nurse rushes outside to tell the policeman about Perissa, who then quickly rides a bicycle home to pack her things. While at home, she sees a news report about the incident, causing her to quickly gather her things to flee. Several policemen then appear outside the front door of Perissa's house, while she tries to escape through the back door. Perissa realizes that the door is locked so she uses her powers to grab the keys from the kitchen bench. The policemen then enter the house to find that Perissa is gone. Perissa running away from a team  who has been hunting her in the woods. Perissa is caught by one of the men who pushes her to the ground. Perissa uses her supernatural powers once again to push the men away in a burst of power. After that, she faked her death and escapes to the life of the summery life. However, she can hear a voice in her head saying to her: "My sweet girl, I only hope ou find your way back to me love." Meanwhile on the road where the beaches are, where 18 year old Medina haven't seen it in a long time. They arrived at the two story house that looked ancient and broken as if untouched by time. Medina gird herself as she headed up the stairs of the porch and entered inside the house. 

There was a woman who looked middle aged with grayish black hair and wore a robe as she embraced her, there is also overweight, grayish brown haired woman who had age spots on her and also a liver spot seem on her. A woman who look like she's in her late thirties and early forties appeared with dark brown hair and was a younger version of her grandmother. Getting away from the scene of her annoying aunt and her jaded grandmother as well as her weary, gross third cousin--twice removed; her grandma and aunt were there while Cassandra was trying not to talk to them however there was a bickering discussion among the two. At dinner, tension grew and grew. A drained, pale, and seemingly sick grandmother sat at the table as Medina appeared but her grandmother got so angry that he dropped his plate deliberately on the floor. Argument begins to attract the family relatives as Medina activates her powers and scares the others when they saw blood from her hands. Medina was so shocked that she left and she found herself on the deserted road but she could hear a voice in her head, "My sweet girl...Come home, I wish to see you....my dear." In the meantime; Elyssa is in her early 20's as she lives alone and at a job she hates. Her boss annoys her and they are driving her crazy. Elyssa struggles with the fact that he is a high school graduate who is not going to college. Two weeks later; Elyssa move away to the cold winter wonderland. While on the 19 hours and two minute drive; Elyssa is bored of the long journey and she soon falls asleep. She wakes up and finds out that she has been fired after she was drunk and drived away moving without telling anybody. Elyssa and her boss used to be friends however her boss was a delusional, mean-spirited, and selfish so called expert on helping people that failed to work. Elyssa cuts off communication from her former job, she goes to sleep but she woke up to hear a voice in her head, "My little princess...I will wait for your return soon."  Elyssa decides to go and see her sisters Perissa and Medina. However, they've begin to experiencing telepathic visions of a woman's voice: "My sweet girls, my little princess...Please give me a moment of your time. I know it seems like I'm not offering you much guidance but you're going have to do a lot of this on your own. I asked that you trust me and I will get you through this alive. Follow your instincts and I will see you soon...I'll be waiting for you." Then, one day; Elyssa, Medina, and Perissa saw a sun ray coming down and there was a blinding light as they vanished. 

Just then, the trio found themselves faced to face with a commander officer of a woman. Elyssa smiled a little weakly, "Am I dead?" She asked. The female commander chuckled a little, "Not really." She said. The woman introduces herself as Commander Chrysogonee Valraven, as she welcomed her daughters home to Terra Feminarum. Elyssa, Medina, and Perissa were amazed, thrilled to see that they finally meet their mother. The three of them are given a tour by Una. Una showed them the bunks of their cabin, they were shown the training area & the mess hall. Elyssa looked around however she accidentally bumps into someone. "Hey! Watch it!" snapped the person, she looked leaned and tall but she was glaring at Elyssa, which surpried her. Once that girl was gone; Elyssa asked, "Who's that?" Una looked and replied back, "Ah, that is Mirabella. She tends to speak his mind, which gets her in trouble. Don't mind her." And they moved on but Elyssa looked back, she rolled his eyes and sighed. She was already making enemies, just a great way to start her first day here. Nice. However; Elyssa and her sisters are introduced to the other ladies: Britomart, Cymodoce, Amoretta, Belphoebe, Palladine, Florimell, Cambina, Hellenore, Canacee, Pastorella, and Serena. The next day; Elyssa, Medina, and Perissa were at the training grounds of the military where they learn how to spar with one another. They learned how to attack and archery. How to use weapons in combat. Drill exercises were difficulties for Elyssa, who would fall behind from the others as Mirabella begins to taunt her, "Try working harder, newbie. Not so easy isn't it?" She really looked arrogant, white hot anger filled Elyssa's chest as she used that to get stronger so she kept pushing. And pushing. Soon, Elyssa improved better in the drill exercises while Mirabella struggle. Elyssa laughed at the irony, she got better and stronger. While things were looking up; Elyssa, Medina, and Perissa discovered their powers: Elyssa has many powers such as psychokinesis, enhanced speed, enhanced agility, enhanced speed, telepathy, accelerate healing, and to absorb powers as well as memories from others through physical touch. Medina has the ability to control blood, to maneuver it into any shape or form. And Perissa can control the element of water--either freeze it, boil it, or manipulate its form in many ways. 

However; they are called in by Una, who has a special mission. When they got there; Elyssa, Medina, and Perissa are seated in a meeting room. "What the hell is taking her?" Medina groaned. "Patience, Medina. Una moves in mysterious ways." Elyssaa assured her. "I wonder what Una has for us this time." Perissa said. "We'll find out soon enough, girls." Elyssa replied. While waiting; they heard a female grunting and incoherent complaining as they got louder. Then, Una came in with a large box and placed it down. "Phew! Talk about a lot of designed costumes to deliver can give someone quite a work out." She said with a sigh and huffing. Una smiled at the girls, "Good Morning, ladies! Sorry for making you wait but I want to show you something..." She said, "Your mission is quite interested. This world is known as a land you never dreamed of. It is my pleasure to introduce you to this special mission.....Introducing--Operation: Playact Superhero!" Elyssa and the sisters stare at her with weird looks. "What did she say?" asked Perissa, "What was that last part?" inquired Medina. "What is Operation Superhero Playact?" questioned Elyssa, "And what is the meaning of it?" "It's an undercover operative assignment!" explained Una, "You are to observe this city known as Caesar City for it has a good setting." Una gave the girls their so-called superheroine costumes; Elyssa's outfit was of skin-tight suit that has a rose design on the abdomen with long matching gloves and heels. Medina has a red catsuit with red roses that gave the illusion of being bloodied. And Perissa's outfit has sea blue and ice blue clothing, the style was a dress. The girls were also given superheroine personas: Elyssa is Valkyrie, Perissa is Aloja, and Medina is Agrona. This was going to be the most epic, weirdest mission but Operation Superhero Playact was commencing the mysterious land. All suit up in ther costumes of their undercover superheroine alter egos; Elyssa, Medina, and Perissa were ready to go! "OK, getting ready for teleportation for agents..." Una said, pressing buttons and pulling switches to activate the portal. She continued to talk while typing, "Operation Superhero Playact is commencing.... Destination locating..... transportation begins in 10...9...8...7...6...5, 4, 3, 2, 1!!!" "Let's goooooooooo!" Elyssa hollered. And the agents jumped into the portals. Una watched them disappear, "Good luck agents." She said in a soft tone. 

Elyssa smiled triumphantly, "All right ladies, let's go! It's hero time!" She said. "You mean 'Heroine Time', right?" Perissa corrected. "Whatever!" Elyssa laughed but got serious and said, "Assemble and GO!!!" And off they went! There were  Neo Gargarean terrorizing the folks in the downtown city, Elyssa and the other girls rescued civilians from the sexist and violent men! But things got crazier when debris was falling from buildings and crumbling from the weight of mass monsters. They were about to fall on Elyssa, who didn't noticed at the time, until the debris turned to ashes! Now that caught her attention and what she saw surprised her! A figure looking wolf costume. Elyssa couldn't take her eyes as the guy looked at her, "Are you all right?" The guy asked. Elyssa nodded, "Yes, thanks. You did pretty cool." She said. "Heh! No problem. But you look like you're new here so tell me--Who's your sponser?" The fire guy asked. That confused Elyssa for a moment, "Um, what are you talking about?" asked Elyssa. "You don't have a sponsor?" The wolf guy asked, looking at her in disbelief. Elyssa looked morified, if that guy could see which he couldn't! "Um, I don't think I--Am I supposed to?" Elyssa asked. "Well...Who are you toots?" The wolf guy inquired. "My name's Valkyrie and you are?" asked Elyssa. "They call me....Beowulf!" He said, "This is how I roll. I mean, Savior Station comes up with this stuff..." Elyssa had a weird look on her face, "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! What are you talking about? What is Savior Station?" She asked. Beowulf glance at her, "You don't know? Uh, Savior Station is a TV show where crime fighting is mainstream entertainment broadcasting." He explained. Elyssa couldn't believe it. "You're trying to tell me WE'RE ON TV!!!!" She cried. Beowulf weakly smirked, "Guess you didn't know, did you?" He teased. Elyssa let out an angry screech, she tackles Firestarter to the ground as his flames don't bother her all that much. 

"You mean to tell me we're on TV and I didn't know about it?!" She demanded. Beowulf look at her solemnly, "Welcome to Caesar City, Valkyrie. The whole world is watching us heroes." He answered. Elyssa lets go of him, "Terrific. Well, let's get to work." She replied darkly, and the two head off! Meanwhile; Medina was overwhelmed by the attack of Neo Gargarean soldiers and managed to fight them off with her powers. Another try to sneak attack on her until someone hold him back. She heard from someone behind her. She turned and saw Vincent applauding, "Huh? Have you been there the whole time?" asked Eulalie. "Well, well. You're not so weak after all." said the hero. "No way. Who the hell are you?" The hero turn to her and said, "The guy that saved your life." "Um, thank you." Medina replied, it sounded confused like a question. She seemed interested in this guy, "So...One superhero to another, who are you?" She inquired. "Valentine. Just Valentine." said the guy. "Valentine..." Medina said, that name gave her chills, "Wait! Do you have a secret identity?" She asked. "Don't have one." said Valentine. "Oh crap! Why am I getting all shivering about?" She thought. "By any chance, are you aware of the circumstances?" Valentine asked. "You got some sponser?" Medina was perplexed, "Um, what now?" She inquired. Later, she was alone after the disbelief of finding out that she was on TV live of Savior Station! Valentine told her the same thing that Beowulf had told Valkyrie/Elyssa. It was beyond her belief. However, Medina is helped out by Valentine however she is concern about who he really is. In the meantime; Elyssa learns the whole story about how this whole thing wasn't a fake. However Beowulf had to ask, "What's your deal here, Valkyrie?" "Just helping out but don't want tobe noticed while being BROADCAST LIVE!!!" Elyssa exclaimed. 

Beowulf held up his hands in defense, "Sorry, I wasn't aware." He affirmed, "What kind of superhero are you?" Elyssa smiled and said, "One of a kind!" Beowulf looked at her with amazement, "You surprise me." He said. Elyssa gave him a look, "Anymore surprises I should know?" She queried. Suddenly, Beowulf's communicator beeped and he gasped. "'Snap!" He cursed. "What?" asked Elyssa. "Gotta go." Beowulf said, "Catcha later!" He flew away as Elyssa watched him go. Later, in a skirt with the hem falls just above her knees and a blouse with leather boots; Elyssa found the building of where she meets Savior Station's producer Julocke Bittan, and her crew of the station--Curtis Sirius and Cuward Harley. Julocke gave her a package and ask her to deliever it to a guy name Orson Sansnom, which Elyssa obediantly complies.. As she looked around, Elyssa looked around however she didn't see where she was going and bumped into somebody else. "Oh, I'm sorry--!" Elyssa apologized. She looked to see a tan skinned man there that had black hair, he wore a long-sleeved woven shirt with a faded red plaid pattern and two front pockets, black jeans with a low rise and a slim, straight fit, and boots with black suede upper, capped suede toe, 7 eyelet lace-up front and a side zip on the inside panel. He seemed pretty friendly when he said, "It's OK. You all right?" Elyssa smiled, "Uh huh, I'm fine." She said. The guy noticed Elyssa has something in her arms, "You delivering something?" He inquired. "Um, yeah. It's for someone by the name of Orson Sansnom." said Elyssa. The guy looked at her before smirking, "Oh, I believe you've found him." He affirmed. Elyssa look at him in shock, "Huh?" She asked. Orson and Elyssa enter his house but the place had bottles, papers, and stuff everywhere. "Sorry, it's a mess here." Goram said with a shameful look. Elyssa shrugged, "It's all right." She claimed.  Just then, the phone rang. Orson jumped up, "Hang on, I'll be back." He said and ran off to answer the phone in the next room. Elyssa looked around and whispered to herself, "Mary Poppins, do your magic." Immediately; the bottles and other stuff was immediately clean up the rest as the pigsty was turned into a tidied up house. Smiling; Elyssa said to herself softly, "Work that, Beowulf." 

Orson return to the living room, "Hey, sorry 'bout that...Whoa! You cleaned the place." He said with surprise. Elyssa turned to him and beamed, "I sure did. Glad I could help." She said. "Thanks, any chance you can clean my place while I'm away?" Orson replied. "Sure." Elyssa answered, nodding. "And I'll pay." Orson added. Elyssa look offended, "No, I don't want--" She said. Orson insisted, "Please, I insist. I mean, you clean faster than a janitor." He remarked. Elyssa looked at his face and smiled, "All right, why not. Thank you." She answered. As she telekinetically clean Orson Sansnom's place; she stop to take a break and dig up her research on Beowulf but she learns Beowulf and Orson Sansnom were the same person. "Figured you out, Beowulf. Let's see if you can figure me out." Elyssa said to herself. She did her homework on the other heroes: Orvar is Orson's best friend name Bruin Ursus. Cleopatra's secret identity is Hermeline Tokala. Cleopatra's partner and best friend, Bradamante, however her real name is Belen Ramm. The ever once so popular Strong Styrbjörn is really Leonard Nobel, Starkad is the shy and insecure but quirky yet good hearted Tybalt Katz. And effeminate Palnatoke is the intersexual Grimbeert Badger. Now things were about to get interesting for Elyssa and the others with these heroes. In the meantime; a loud, hot blooded, and ungrateful bastard name Korbes who loved to hear himself talk. "Who is Valentine? He's a demon, that's what he is!" barked Korbes. he was a loud, hot blooded, and ungrateful bastard, he loved to hear himself talk"A seducer, a menace!" He continued to rambled. "Medina! We have to find out about Valentine and his intentions of being a threat to us all!" Medina sighed as she gathered her stuff, "All right, yes sir." She said. "Good, get out of here!!!" barked Korbes. Later, Elyssa and Orson were attending some sort of the arrival of Valentine Naimon. Orson offered, which left Elyssa so curious as she agreed to come along. "So, I get to meet the Valentine Naimon huh." Elyssa said. Orson looked annoyed but he smiled, "Yeah but don't get too excited." He warned. Elyssa look confused, "Why would I?" She asked. Just then, a familiar voice called out: "Hey, what's going on?" Elyssa turned around eagerly, "Medina! Where have you been?" She asked. Medina shrugged, "Oh, I've been around and about." She claimed. 

Elyssa nodded and made the introduction: "Orson, this is my sister Medina. Medina? This is Orson Sansnom." Orson held out his hand, "What's up?" He said. Medina took his hand and shook it, "Hi." She said. Then; Medina learned what was going on: "Oh, wait a minute. Some of those highbrow upstarts are coming here? Great, those overindulgent lavishly and crummy people whoare nothing but ungracious, haughty, foolhardy bastards that are--" She ranted. But when she saw who it was, she stopped and ended it by saying, "--So hot!" He seems to be under or over age 20,  a slender, graceful figure, lacks facial hair, dark flaxen/light blonde hair and emerald green eyes. Elyssa wasn't lovestruck however she remarked, "Wow, thanks for the warning." Orson looked over at her, "Not crazy 'bout him huh?" He asked. Elyssa shook her head, "Nah, but I have to give him a compliment--He's so handsome!" She answerd. Orson breathed a sigh of relief. Medina squinted her eyes at Valentine and then her eyes widened in amazement, "Wait, it's him!" She thought. Then she begins to recite the poem of Leda and the Swan in her head: "A sudden blow: the great wings beating still above the staggering girl, her loins caressed by the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill, he holds her helpless bosom upon his chest. How can those terrified vague fingers push the feathered glory from her loosening loins? And how can body, laid in that white rush, but feel the strange heart beating where it lies?"  She got distracted by his attractiveness and felt her heartbeating but he was gone after she took the snapshot. Medina cursed herself, "Dammit! That was too close!" It was all that Orson and his friend Valentine could talk about. "Valkyrie...Agrona...They seem new, how come I never heard of them?" Valentine asked. Orson soon noticed his friend's strange behavior, "C'mon Val, give them  a chance. Just don't do something crazy." He warned. Valentine looked at him, "Like what?" He asked. Orson replied back, "Go off the deep end?" 

The Neo Gargarean Army from the Mundi Hominum; their leader is Alessandro Temple with the ranked lieutenants who are known as 'brothers'--Sechem, Karna, Gwydion, and Ammon. These bastards are victim blaming, piggish, and have no respect for the women in Neo Amazon's Valkyries. Unlike the commander and its top ranked soldiers; other soldiers show great respect for Neo Amazon: Redcross, Timias, Artegal, Calidore, Marinell, Scudamor, Triamond, Cambell, Satyrane, Malbecco, Guyon, Cymochles & Pyrochles and Colin. They noticed Alessandro Temple and the rest are teamed up with a bunch of bad people: Isengrim Nashoba, Katria Batts, Baldwin Cuthbert, Talus, and Ferragus Pepin. There are many lives going on in Caesar City--Reynard Faust is the detective and also has a double life as a dark vigilante. Meanwhile; Orson Sansnom visit his daughter, Fazon, and the grave of his deceased wife Clerimond. And separately where Medina is walking by a cemetary but she is surprised to see Valentine there as she reads the engraved on the tombstone that reads: Bellisant and Alexander Naimon. While battling with the Neo Gargarean; Medina gets attacked from above by one of them who scratched her back. It also caused her top to be torn to shreds almost and it falls off. Humiliated, Medina covers herself as her symbiotic powers save the day as it made a top for her to cover her breasts and lets out a big sigh of relief. Later on; Medina was getting her wounds stitched up when Perissa noticed something on her back. There was hair-like strand from her back. Perissa learned over and told her that the red plumes she plucked at and told her that it wasn't human: "Something went wrong, Medina. When you were attacked, something went wrong." Perissa whispered. Medina is terrified, Perissa continued to talk to her: "You're changing, Medina. Everything about you is changing, what's happening to you?" She asked. "I don't know, am I dying?" Medina said back with a panic in her voice. "I don't know." said Perissa. 

In the meantime; Valentine pulled out some papers he research on them, "Sonny, do you have a minute? Look, there's no trace of them on this research. No results." He explained. Orson groaned, "Val, c'mon! Don't be so paranoid!" Valentine look at his partner, "All I'm saying is this, Orson. I'm being serious and very certain about the facts. And that Medina here knows about them, she's hiding something!" He insisted. "It doesn't mean she's not a heroine." Orson said. "And she's not even from here!" Valentine argued. "She exists! They don't need to be looked up!" said Orson. Valentine realized what time it was and decides to cut this short however he is not going to let this go. At the gathering, it wasn't so loud as Abela Petrov feared. But she seemed shy, looking around for someone to talk to. She found people talking and laughing with some friendly looking people. Abela is fascinated in the young man who looked handsome. Abela felt something in her heart, something so warm and it made her heart go crazy by this beauty. She was curious how to approach this but she fears of disapproval, to be judged for her flaws. "No, never again. Don't let them in." She told herself. The young man look back to see Abela, who turned away quickly blushing. Then she heard her father calling her name, "Abela! Come and say hello to Valentine Naimon." He said. Abela shyly approaches him, she makes her head look up and gave Valentine good eye contact. However she recognized something familiar by Valentine's look and said, "You remind me of someone I used to know." Valentine looked at her perplexed, "I do? Like who?" He asked. Abela felt like an idiot. She looked away, "I...Sorry, not important." said Abela quickly. "Great, just great! My first impression is that she reminds me of him! Ugh, why the hell I have to go and say that!" She thought. "No, no. You can tell me." assured Valentine. Abela looked up at him hopeful, Was he trying to be nice? Or was it just an act and then be rude to her later? She didn't know. "If you don't want to, it's OK." Valentine assured her. Just then, He was told of another business at hand. Valentine turned to Abela and said, "I'll see you later then?" Abela brightens up, "Um, OK." She said. As Valentine left, Abela feels like maybe...Just maybe, he could be her 'protection'. 

In the meantime at night as Valentine slept; Abela's dark brown hair a flow and wearing white. It was a strapless, flowing dress and wears no shoes on her feet. She looks over at Valentine who slept so peacefully. She walked over and wrapped her arms around him. Caressing his hair as she whispered, "So, the angel sleeps tonight. In the world, this mighty world of heroes....Is where these warriors have traits of swift, force, strength, and mysteriousness about themselves." Abela watched as Valentine's chest rise slowly up and down as he slept. "He may sleep like a human but I know he has a beating heart within that body of his." rasped Abela softly. Then, she leaves Valentine for a moment and said, "And you...Once I have you....You'll be all mine! All mine." Abela muttered quietly. But she hits the sides of her temples as she said in a soft groan, "Urrrgggh!" She calms down by telling herself in a soothing voice, "OK, OK. I'm fine, I'm all right." Once more while watching the interviews of Valentine, Abela was observing all this as she becomes even more obsessive. She turns away and goes to her room where she close the door and lied on her bed for a moment; the faces of him are haunting her. Her hands fumbled under the covers and she begins to...Jerk. She looked like she was crying, thinking about Valentine's face in her head. Thinking and in tears, Abela begins to moan softly and gasps while remembering when she thought of him, his emotions, and his beauty is so haunted. She cannot get him out of her head. Later, she is in the bathroom, washing her hands. "Ugh, I gotta stop with the Ruddy Mitts Treatment." Abela said to herself. She dried her hands as she said in a timid like voice, "But he's so hot...." Deep in some sort of secret place; Abela is printing out pictures of Valentine. Valentine Naimon. Abela kept them all these photos in tribute collages and under lock & key! However, she fears that they will be found. And when that happens, she is scared of being laughed and rejected. She idolizes these people, she wants friends. To be loved, that's all she ever wanted.

For the time being; Orson learned about Elyssa's disguise and her true identity but then, strange things were going on with Elyssa, Medina, and Perissa. Being half human, half Valkyrie; they begin to notice strange changes to themselves. Their beauty made them look more and more gorgeou, of some sort of enhanced condition, enhanced combat, enhanced spearmanship, enhanced swordsmanship, and weapon proficiency. And what's worse, their shoulder blades growing abnormally large and then a pair of wings sprouted from them. They also experience an aura glow shine upon them their hair and body to make them look like angel-like beings for a moment. Valentine couldn't believe it, he was amazed to see Medina glowing like the light she was. "An angel...." whispered Valentine. Medina looked at him funny, "What?" She said. Orson was shocked, "Elyssa, is there something you want to tell me?" He asked. "Yeah, guess I haven't told you this but I'm a Valkyrie." said Elyssa, "Well...half Valkyrie but the daughter of one who runs a feminine army called Neo Amazon." Orson couldn't believe this and he became quite close to Elyssa after learning about her troubled past and the dangers of Neo Gargarean. Later, Medina is escorting Valentine away from the battle however Valentine couldn't take his eyes off her and it made Medina suspicious. "Why are you looking at me that way, Val?" Medina demanded. Valentine didn't say anything for a moment but then he said, "Medina, you're so beautiful." Medina blushed at his words, she looked down but then she giggled and remarked: "Did you hit your head or something bro?" But Medina could hear their mother's voice who tries to assure them that she is watching her and making sure she will come to no harm. 

Late at night; Medina was sitting at the front desk, looking at her computer. It was the night shift and she was here in case someone came to her desk. When she looked up; she looked annoyed to see Valentine strolling up to her desk. "Oh, it's you." Medina said in a montone voice. Valentine smiled down at her, "Hello Medina." He replied. Medina adjusts her glasses, "Yeah, I remember you." She said. "I see." Valentine replied. Medina gets up from her chair, "Excuse me." She said, Medina was walking away when Valentine blocked her and she was startled as she leaned against the wall as she looked at him, "Hey--!" protested Medina but found herself looking at the beautiful young man, who says in a seductive tone: "Wanna hook up?" Medina smirks at him and slips under his arm that was blocking, "Nice try." She remarked and walks away. Valentine pretends to be offended: "Oh, that's cold." He said. However he is surprised when Medina said, "I know why your here, follow me." And Valentine did. Medina got onto the database, she begin typing up and click with the mouse. Then out printed a piece of paper and handed to Vincent. "Keep with you, it might come in handy." explained Medina. Valentine nodded, "Thanks. That wasn't so easy, and I didn't have to seduce you." He remarked. "Oh trust me, I am immune to seduction dude." said Medina with a small laugh. Valentine was stunt, he had to chuckle however he thank her and her, eft. "Thank you for the offer." Valentine remarked, he smiled at her flirtatiously. looked at him with disgust, "Tch, womanizer." She muttered. Valentine watched her, "You pretty flower." He murmured. Medina looked at him, "Sorry?" She inquired. "Nothing." Valentine said. Medina pursed her lips and responded by saying, "Maybe you shouldn't look at my ass, Mr. Charmer." She said. Valentine looked at her, "What's the matter? Shy?" He teased. Medina almost laugh, "I'm not shy, I just hate being lied to." She claimed. Valentine looks at her, "You do huh. I like you, you're pretty...witty, smart, sweet." He flirted. Medina looked at him with a cynical glance, "I bet you say that about the other girls you flirt with." She remarked. 

As Medina tried to find out more on Valentine and his mysterious past; Neo Gargarean soldiers try to assault her but then in the struggle; Medina was knocked out and one of them wanted to strip her. However, someone knocked them out and scared them off. The person responsible was Valentine! He looked at Medina, whose body was scraped and her clothes were torn. "Silly angel, do you think you could fool me that easily?" He said, staring down at her unconscious body. After a while; Valentine sipped red wine as he listened to softened opera singing in the background; he glance over at Medina, who was still unconscious, on the sofa and Valentine placed his glass down to examine her. "You know this opera? It's called Aida. It was by Giuseppe Verdi. You probably don't know it, do you...Medina Valraven?" Valentine said, "Angel....Valkyrie...Whoever you are, you are something more different....This song is about a young warrior name Radamès who wishes to be chosen as a Commander of the Egyptian army. He dreams of gaining victory on the battlefield and also of the Ethiopian slave girl, Aida, with whom he is secretly in love. He start to trace her lips with his index finger gently, "Celeste Aïda, forma divina, Mistico serto di luce e fior, Del mio pensiero tu sei regina, Tu di mia vita sei lo splendor. Il tuo bel cielo vorrei ridarti, Le dolci brezze del patrio suol, Un regal serto sul crin posarti, Ergerti un trono vicino al sol." Valentine recited. He was grazing her cheek with his knuckles. He then noticed a mark of the Valkyrie wings birthmark on her chest above her bosom and right where her heart is, "What is that?" He thought. In the sunny morning of a new day; Medina stirred and felt someone on her. She woke up slowly to see someone wearing comfy pajamas pants with elastic drawstring waist and single button fly. He wore a robe and corduroy slippers. 

Medina could see that it was Valentine, "Morning sleepyhead." He greeted. Medina looked at him and yawned while stretching, she looked around the room: "Huh? Hmm...." She said but when Medina realized where she was, she started to freak out. "OH MY GOD!!!!!" She screamed and flustered and thrashed about violently until Valentine seized her shoulders, "Will you relax? You're gonna wake up the entire neighborhood in this complex!" He said. Medina looked shameful, "Sorry!" She said. Valentine leaned back to look over at her, "So, you're a Valkyrie." He said. Medina looked at him, "...Yes." She responded. "Knew it." Valentine said with a dazzling grin. Medina blushes, "No need to rub it in, huh?" She said. "No." Valentine said. Medina was getting irritated, "Why did you save me? If you want to expose me as a fraude, then do it!" She demanded. Valentine looked at her, he then shook his head and responded: "No, that wouldn't be right of me to do so." "Why?" Medina asked, looking at him with disbelief. "Because your something special, really you are." answered Valentine. Touched, Medina couldn't help but smiled. "Thanks." She said. Valentined nodded but he had to ask Medina about these 'female angels' so Medina explained about the history of Valkyries: They were a nation of all-female warriors to have lived in Terra Feminarum, here they formed an independent kingdom under the government of a queen named Chrysogone. Valentine was intrigued by this as Medina told more about the Valkyries, but then there was the evil males that treated them like slaves and made them do the most vile deeds ever done. Leaving the Valkyries in the dust after being deflowered and bloodied; they got their revenge and almost wiped them out. The Valkyries never trusted men again and they made a country of their own and if a male was filled with perverted thoughts towards women; they were beatened or giving a worse punishment if they try to attempt. Medina explained on what are the Valkyries are like, "Valkyries... they are pure white chastity of Elaine, they have filial devotion of Cordelia and the iron will of Boadicea...Elaine, Cordelia, and Boadicea....They were her sisters."  

There was danger downtown so Elyssa, Medina, and Perissa recognize Neo Gargarean is among these enemies as they have a young lady held hostage. As the heroes and Valkyries head over; Isengrim taunts them before he turned around to Abela, "And what about you, Abela? You got a thing for Valentine?" Isengrim taunted. "What?" Abela asked, concerned. Isengrim reached into his coat pocket while muttering, "Hmm, let's see...Where did I put it....?" Then he pulls out a book that was dark blue, "Ah-ha! Here it is. A journal." He pulled it out and begins to read them as Abela looks at him suspicious: "I really wish Valentine would have feelings for me. As I stand outside of my crush’s house, the reflection of myself on his window makes it look as though I'm inside the house, than looking out. I long for the day when I'm his and welcome inside the house rather than lurking outside of it. Night, a physical conglomerate of time and space, is here set next to time itself. But night it is predominately experienced visually by a blind infamous man name Borges, 'Through the course of generations, Men brought the night into being. In the beginning were blindness and dream, and thorns which gash the bare foot and fear of wolves.' I don't feel welcomed amongst people outside in the buzz of every day life due to my known average of unattractiveness. I want to try to convince Valentine that it is truly best to stay tucked away in the cellar, away from the harsh judgments made in the light of day outside. Things of silence is what you need in this life of isolation. Trying to move on but my past is distracting me. The crystal ball doesn’t work so well for looking ahead- but hindsight is always 20/20. Collecting celebrity gossip pages, girls like me seem to love a man with pretty things.....'" 

Humiliated; Abela couldn't believe and heard the enemies laughing but not her friends. Abela was filled with anger, hot boiling anger inside of her. All of a sudden; she felt the pain inside of her. Then, she snapped. Abela's hair turns mahogany hair and pulls a double axe weaponry as she laughed maniacally and sliced the entire Neo Gargarean soldiers and the enemies, shocking Elyssa & her sisters as well as the heroes! They could see her anger and hatred. But the only one who remained is Isengrim and Abela was going to kill him. In her rage of madness; Abela peers at the sun, with hatred, wanting it to go away. When people stare at the sun, they will burn their retinas, and all will go black. Revenge is what a bitter person means when they laugh, but, there’s nothing funny. Abela's heart is so polluted, that she is going to see everything tainted and her rejected love will be avenged. But in reality, Valentine is unaware of this. Abela goes from seeing a bright and cheery red door, and paints it black, to wanting everything to be black, for everyone, and by blotting out the sun, it is all over for every living thing, and she’ll get her revenge. Elyssa could hear Abela's thoughts as she thinks she's being rejected by Valentine because she's a 'freak' and someone as gorgeous as Valentine would never love her. Abela's thoughts are rambling with tears and fears as Elyssa learns from her memories of humiliation and rejection. Elyssa and the others research on Abela; it turns out she was a successful student however she had no social skills because of her emotional condition, however she deals with people and crushes who humiliate her as well as reject her in the painful way. The last straw came when Abela wrote a story about her former crushes and was the laughingstock. 

Then, Abela ran away in tears and was involved in a freak accident as it turned her dark blonde hair into mahogany red hair and made her into an unstable anger that is threatened to turn violent. Valentine is shocked by her past, as he known her as a nice girl but now he knows that she has a thing for him. So, Valentine comes up with a plan. He vows to find her and he search all over as he found her at a warehouse, with Isengrim on the ground as he struggles to get the axes away from him. "Abela, is that you?" Valentine called out to her. Mortified and uncomfortable to see him; Abela looked away from him, "Please, go away." She said darkly. "Let me help  you, Abela." Valentine coaxed, walking over to her carefully. Abela begin to weep, "Why can't you people leave me alone?" She demanded through her sobs. Valentine hold back his own tears, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you went through so much pain." He said. Abela chuckled darkly with no humor and said, "That's the thing...You forget, you don't know anything about me." "I am not going to let you go after him by yourself." said Valentine. "Oh really?" Abela said, holding her double axes. "Valentine, what are you going to do to stop me?" She demanded. Before Valentine could say another word; Isengrim open his big mouth: "You are nothing, you couldn't be strong enough to admit your feelings and you are such a freak!" taunted Isengrim. Abela shuttered, she couldn't believe it and she lost control of herself. She begin to stab Isengrim repeatedly while screaming hysterically. When she snapped out of it, Abela was shocked as she saw that her hands were dripping with blood. She begins to cry uncontrollably, "Di--di--di--Did I do that?" She spluttered out. Abela try to slice herself with her ax and attempt to take her own life until Valentine stop her. Abela is shocked, "Get off me...get off me....All that stuff I wrote, it was a lie. All a lie...." She insisted. Valentine didn't say anything and managed to get the axes away from her before she could take a strike at herself. Then, Valentine gives Abela a liplock kiss, then the lips departed as Valentine's voice whispered against the gasping Abela, "Did you like that? I really hope you did. Because I've been wanting to do that all this time."

Abela felt her face turned red but she got angry and pushed him away as she said, "STOP IT!!!!" Valentine looked at her with surprise, "What? What do you mean?" He asked. "Stop trying to trick me, I know what you're trying to do." Abela said, glaring at him after she got away from him. "I'm not, I think you're different from all the girls and maybe I want you by my side as my friend." insisted Valentine. Abela turned back to him, "You--you mean it?" She said. Valentine nodded, "Yes, I'm not going to reject you again. I know because I had hardships in my life and I'm willing to help you if you let me in." He said. So Abela did, and had her first real friend. Elyssa, Medina, and Perissa were touched to see this as Abela she found her key of happiness that lies inside of herself as well as Valentine and other people. But Elyssa and her sisters were approached by the remains of Neo Gargarean came along: Redcross, Timias, Artegal, Calidore, Marinell, Scudamor, Triamond, Cambell, Satyrane, Malbecco, Guyon, Cymochles & Pyrochles and Colin.
