"Um... what's going on here again?" Noah looked around in confusion. Al's eyes were way too similar to Lilith's when talking about the healer. "She's just a person who dives with me on fortresses," he repeated himsel raising his hands in resignation. "Hmmmm, we'll see about that," Al pouted, as she started eating and drinking once again. Not long after, they heard somebody knocking on the door. "Come," Noah said, realizing it was probably her. The door slid open, the waiter appearing with a cart with…

"You're back." The girl stopped in shock, as Noah called her out as soon as she reached the table. Although she was not running, because it was a public space after all, she had come walking at a very fast pace. Yet, by the time she came to the table, Al was already sat down and eating, which confused her deeply. 'Did I spend that long thinking?' she thought, as she realized what must've happened. "Did I take too long?" Khish asked, as she sat down by the table, pouring herself a cup of beer with the…

"Sister?" Noah asked, deeply confused. "Al?" the girl looked down, widening her eyes, "You're still—" "Hold up! Aren't you Sha's sister?" Noah interrupted her, making her scratch her head, before pulling out her own chair. He could see Al was visibly uncomfortable, but he was the one who invited the girl over because of the blessing. Them being related was somthing he could have never guessed, not even in his dreams. "Al is my half-sister. Mine and Sha's..." the girl started saying, regret in her face…

"Little time? What do you mean?" she asked him, "Didn't you stop working for the old man years ago?" she questioned him, her brows furrowing. As she did so, Noah browsed the menu for the restaurant, chosing his food. "I mean, I stopped when I became a blessed... But tht doesn't mean I had an easy life all this time, you know?" he absentmindedly told her, raising his hand and calling up the waiter. "Hey! Ain't that you, Noah," the waiter came in with a smile. "You got pretty damn famous," he called Noah…

"Your... Familiars? These? Monsters?" the overwhelmed girl stuttered at Noah's affirmation. "Um, yeah?" Noah was confused for a second, not understanding her reaction. 'I think the girl is feeling pressure from us,' the unicorn told him, making Noah doubt his ears. "Al, by any chance, are you a Blessed?" he asked, turning and waiting for her reaction. "Me? Not a chance, no way. If I was..." She clenched her fists. "I wouldn't have have to go through all of that," she said, her face full of her past…

As he waited in silence while staring at the sky, Noah rummaged through his memories, "I don't remember ever going there..." he thought, as he tried to figure out the situation behind the old man's living conditions, and why Allie would be in such a poor place. "Maybe I was just too worried about my own things to ever care about it... I don't know," he told nobody, as he patiently waited. Over the next few minutes, he didn't even bother checking the time, and just went over the plans he had for the…

"Nah... I don't feel like using that one to be honest. If you have a good two-seater with a nice real engine, I'm looking forward to it," he said, while Carlos raised his hand, calling someone. Not long after, the same employee approached them. "We want one of the speedsters for Noah. He'll be waiting here," Carlos said, making the man go pale. "Err... About that. the speedsters were recalled by your mother. She said they were subpar and demanded improvements," the man said, nervously. Noah could not…

"So, are we going to Carlos' place or yours without even taking this girl to get her stuff?" he asked, making both Noah and Allie realize they had completely forgotten about that. "About that..." Noah looked to the side, straight at Al, who was seated in the passenger seat. Their eyes met for a second, as they exchanged words without speaking at all. "Ahem." Until a snake's head appeared between them, and turned towards Noah. 'Don't you dare," she said, as something in her guts told her it was time to…

"Sorry, I didn't recognize you, Elder Stern!" Al heard these words and saw the man bow perplexed. She had no idea of what they were talking about. Stern was obviously Noah's family name, yet, Elder? She had never heard anything about it, let alone being an elder, she saw him as a kid, but what about him was enough to make people like these, whom she saw as absolute rulers bow. 'Elder Stern?' she asked herself, as she looked aroun, trying to read the mood. Yet, everyone else's faces were relaxed and…

"So, what are your plans from now on?" Noah asked, as he scooped a spoonful of ice-cream an brough it to his mouth. Al was eating her own, in silence, thinking about her future. Despite trying to ignore the storm inside her mind and relax, the thoughts wouldn't leave her alone. And almost as if shoving all of them away, Noah's voice pulled her back to reality, "Huh? Did you talk to me?" she asked, not understanding a single word of what he'd said. "Yeah, I'm asking what are your plans from now on," he…
