1355 Aldred’s Martial State "Huu…" Aldred's white breath escaped his trembling lips as his narrower gaze shot straight ahead. There was a blackish distortion there that oozed nothing short of danger. He furrowed his brow as he kept his focus on the distortion while spreading his senses all around him. The kids behind him were safe, for now, and their goal was right in front of them—past the distortion. But Aldred knew better than to be optimistic. … Especially since his warrior…

1354 Escaping To Sanctuary "Eeek…" For a moment, Serah's existence flashed before her eyes and she was certain that her life was over. If Neron was to do anything at that moment… she was not going to survive. Then— "Serah! Neron!" A loud voice pulled the both of them from the intense moment that drowned them. It was a familiar, elderly tone that they both recognized. "A-Aldred…?" Serah nearly burst out crying as she saw the older man rush into the room. He had beads of sweat on his…

?1353 Invasion On The Estate "My brethren… the time has come." The darkness covered the sky like a black blanket, having only the full moon wash upon the clearing with full brightness. In this clearing, a congregation of shadows could be seen. Fifty-one, to be exact. Standing before the cult-like group of men who had dark robes and crimson orbs in their hands was a hooded man with long white hair. His wrinkled face told of his advanced age, and his eyes were completely filled with…

?1352 Dark Reminder "D-did you feel that?" Neron's ears suddenly perked up as he felt a sudden change in the atmosphere, It was ominous—having a certain feel of darkness that made his skin tingle. He didn't like the sensation as it made him feel fear; an emotion he had grown numb to over the years. Serah kept talking like all was well, so he wanted to know if she could hear—or perceive—what he could. Her response was a confused stare. "Feel what?" The moment she said this,…

?1351 A… Unique Friendship "So… are you excited?" The two kids—Serah and Neron—were laying on a vast field within the Kaelid Estate. Surrounding them were rubbles and debris from various parts of the manor, but they both ignored them and focused on the conversation at hand. "Excited? For what?" Neron turned to look beside him, seeing Serah's cute face. For some reason, she was smiling at him. "You know… the exams coming up in a few months." Both of them would be turning 12…

?1350 An Odd Relationship Begins "So… what do you think about Lady Ser—?" "I don't like her." Neron answered his father flatly. It was very rare for this boy to interrupt the only man he ever truly respected, but he couldn't help it in this instance. Serah Crimson genuinely got on his nerves. "Why don't you like her?" Mordred asked calmly. It felt like a trick question. 'Why would I like her?' He wanted to yell in response, but he maintained his cool facade. "She literally…

?1349 Forging Ties "I'm so terribly sorry for my daughter's behavior, Mordred. She can be a handful at times!" It was no surprise that the commotion that Serah created—no matter how brief—would garner the attention of the grownups. The party was out on instant hold as the respective parents of Serah and Neron rushed to the scene. They saw potholes and debris around, but none of them were surprised by the sight. The ruined garden that marred the pristine beauty of the estate was of no…

?1348 Defeat Of A Genius "… You're pretty weak." Serah had never heard those words being directed at her before. Not even once. She was either the one who thought or said that about others. Ever since she was a kid, she had been praised for her overall Magical Prowess. She was a genius that came only once in a generation. No, she even exceeded that! So why…? Why was she being called weak? "THE HELL DID YOU JUST SAY?!" Serah's voice reached a climax the instant she was able to…

?1347 Weakness And Strength Serah was enraged. 'Is he looking down on me? Does he really know who he's talking to, or is he just playing dumb?!' She didn't think anyone could be so stupid as not to recognize the kind of trouble they would be in for messing with her. 'I'm an unparalleled genius! I am the child of the greatest family in the Kingdom!' She was Serah freakin' Crimson for crying out loud! The boy clearly didn't know his place. "You really are an idiot…" Serah mumbled, her…

?1346 First Time Meeting The celebratory mood of Serah Crimson's birthday party was ruined by her very own hands—or rather, her careless words Needless to say, what happened next wasn't too pleasant. She was publicly chastised by her father, and she had to apologize to the young Leonard for her derogatory remarks towards him. He was charming and gentle, accepting her apology with an understanding smile on his face. That didn't make Serah feel any better though. 'Damnit!' She had…
