Pandora

"How are we gonna wake her up?" Rhea asks looking at Rylee's unconscious body, "Meh, like I know." Noah shrugs and about to walk away until Rhea grabs his shoulder, "Don't you dare to walk away. You're responsible for making her like this." Rhea said darkly, as Luna was about to walk away from the kitchen leaving them, fears reflected in her eyes, "You're responsible too." Rhea said stopping her, Luna nervously turns around to face her, "Ahaha…yes, of course…" She said trying to laugh it off, "Whatever, I'm gonna monitor you two." Rhea said and turns to the fridge, grabbing instant green tea.

Rhea opens the lid and drink on it, after that, she look at her watch, "15 minutes left, you have 15 minutes to wake her up, or else." She said and glares at the two, the two shivers slightly when her glares land on them, and quickly replies, "Y-Yes…understood." Rhea then walk past them, leaving the kitchen.

Rhea walks calmly, following the red carpet under her, she walks with no purpose, just an intentions to test her friends, will they succeed on waking that lazy bum, or not. All her surrounds were quiet until she hears someone runs behind her, while calling her name, "Mistress Rhea! We need your help!" Rhea turns around to see who's calling her and to see one of the guard, Elias Zhacary, a man in his late 20s, black hair, with a hat covering it, leaving only bangs on his face, amber eyes, thin and neat beard that follows his jawlines and chin, he wears the uniform of guards here, at the Tempest mansion, which is a black suit with Tempest logo on their back.

"What is it?" She asks, "W-We failed to keep those guys off from the house, and we need your help to take care of them!" Elias said, asking for her help, "Lead me there. I'll take care of them." Rhea said, accepting to help him, "Thank god! This way!" Elias said and runs towards the main door, with Rhea following behind him, Elias opens the door and let Rhea to go out first.

And when she got outside, she can see a single man standing there, he wears black coat that covers every part of his body, except for his foots, it's still visible. "What are you doing here? Old man is not here." Rhea said and stands in front of him, "Well, well. The Mistress herself shows in front of me! What an honor!" He laughs and playfully bows, "You really get on my nerves." Rhea grumbles, pissed.

The man chuckles lightly and stares at her under his hood, smirks on his face as he put his right hand on his hip, bending one of his leg slightly. "Hm…Where were your sister? Still at work? And why do I sense 3 unfamiliar presences?" He asks, completely off from his usual topics, "This is unusual. What are you planning? You never asks about the house conditions. You'll straightforwardly went to the topics, you're on something, aren't you?" Rhea asks, eyeing at him suspiciously.

"That doesn't matter! Didn't it?" The man asks, "Tch. Where's your group? It's rare for you to step in this land on your own and not hiding behind your group." Rhea said, slightly roasting him, "No more questions! I'm gonna get onto the point!" The man said avoiding her question, "Tch." Rhea clicks her tongue and glares at him.

"Hand me the Pandora." He said, bringing his hand out, wanting the Pandora on his hand, "Hmph. Like hell I'll hand it to a lowly peasant like you, Oscar Preston." Rhea said with coldly, and activates her Electrokinesis, as it sparks out from her body, her eyes glows in green colors.

"Ah. The hard way, huh?" The unknown man now know as Oscar said, and pulls the knife on his hip. Elias noticed the knife he's holding and warns Rhea. "Mistress! He's holding a knife! Please be careful!" He yells, no wanting unfortunate things to land upon her. "Mhm, got it." Rhea nods and bend her knees a little.

"Elias." She called, surprising him, "W-What is it?" He asks quickly. "Make sure nothing happens to the others. I'm counting on you. This man and his group is someone who should not taken lightly." She said and shoot a little smile at him, "Right! Please be safe, Mistress!" Elias saluted before leaving the two and goes in the house to make sure Rhea's friends is safe.

"Aww….You've flattered me!" Oscar said happily, "Perhaps, if you were not a mere peasant, I would acknowledged you as a worthy rival." Rhea said, telling him her standard. "Well, it can't be help." Oscar shrugs before dashing at Rhea in full speed, as Rhea slides down, getting behind him and tries to kicks him, instead he dodges it and swings his knifes at her, Rhea ducked down as his hand got past her head, Rhea gathered a lot of electricity on her left hand and punched his stomach, and knocks him a couple feet away from her.

"Heh…Pretty good." Oscar said standing up, and recovered instantly, due to his insanely fast recovery abilities. "Hmph. You're surprisingly more fragile than before. You're taking me lightly, aren't you?" Rhea asks, doesn't like it when someone take her lightly, she always wanted her opponents to take her seriously.

"No, well, actually yes." Oscar said, giving her both answers, "Pick one answers peasant." Rhea scowled and dashed at him, balling her left hand into a fist, throwing her fist at his face, only to get blocked by a shield. Rhea clicked her tongue and leaped behind, trying to see an opening to land her attack at him. "Hah! Still can't break this shield? Weak!" Oscar mocks, laughing.

"Tsk. Hold your cocky attitudes, I'm just started, Oscar." Rhea smirks at him and throws a card with her custom made logo above him, "Huh?" Oscar asks, observing the thing she throws, and in a blink of eyes, Rhea appears above him and kicks his face, knocking him down onto the ground, she quickly take advantages and grab one of his hand, pushing it on his back.

"Oof. That's some trick you have there, I'm impressed." Oscar said complimenting her, "I'm not buying it. Tell me, why did you wanted the Pandora?" Rhea asks, instead of answering, Oscar chuckles, "Silly, did you think Pandora is a mere gem?" He asks glancing up at her, "It's just a more value gem, isn't it?" Rhea said, clueless herself, she was never told about the Pandora, and just guarding it.

Oscar burst out laughing when he hears her replies, "How ironic! The Tempest itself doesn't know what's the Pandora's power is? I can't believe it!" Oscar continue to laughs, while Rhea stares at him weirdly, and wait for him to end his joyful times, not everyone got to laughs joyfully.

And when he stopped laughing, Rhea was about to asks about the Pandora, until he interrupted her. "Well, our little fight was awesome. I enjoy every single bit of our fight. But, as you may see. My times running out." Oscar said, and grins at her, Rhea got the messages and looks around her, to see his group surrounding her, all of them had their guns pointed at her. Rhea clicked her tongue and immediately got off from his back, letting him go.

Oscar stand up and dusts his coat off, winds knocks his hood down, showing his features, white messy hair, black eyes that seems innocent, a childish looks that can deceives anyone if you're not aware who he is, and the sick smiles he always had on his face, the one that make Rhea pissed just by looking at them.

"Today was fun! We shall meet again when you knows the secret behind the Pandora you're protecting of! Au Revoir!" He bows and disappears into the night, as his group disappears along with him, leaving no single traces.

Rhea stares at where he disappears, and releases heavy sighs, 'Seems like a lot of things were hidden from me. What an unfortunate fate…' She thoughts and turns around to come back in the house.

After she comes inside, she can see her friends standing in front of her, oh, Rylee is awake. All of them wondering what happens, seems like Elias brought them here, since he is standing behind them.

"What?" Rhea asks looking at them, "Did something happened?" Luna asks curious about what happened. "I could say…yeah." Rhea nods, answering her questions, "Dude, I thought your house is safe, there's literally 4 peoples crashing into the kitchen." Noah said, telling her what happened to them. "Yeah! I was awake when someone is carrying me, and that's freaking creepy! And so, I punched them with my Anti-Magic Empowerment, and seems like I got too far…but it doesn't matter! It's their fault for taking advantages on someone who is sleeping!" Rylee said, telling her experience back at the kitchen.

"Did they were black coats?" Rhea asks, making sure it's Oscar's group. "Yep! All black, blending with the nights, eh not really. Your kitchen is bright as heck!" Rylee said, there she go, with her double meanings. Rhea sighs and massages her forehead, "…So anyway…shall we continue our training? There's one hour left?" She asks, asking if they want to resumes their training sessions.
