"Don't be stupid, steer out of trouble, and whatever happens, stay alive." 

I really don't know why Dad always repeat those words to me everyday. I take heed of his words. Play by his rules, never dared to go against him except if it's extremely necessary.

He's all that I need to get by. Our life was ordinary. Everything was perfectly fine, perfectly normal, just an everyday routine we get used to live. But then this guy calling himself 'The Seeker' came... And he start making a mess out of my life. 

He said I have powers. - Who believe that crap?
He said I have extraordinary abilities. - Cool! I want to be Superman.
He said I was chosen. - Who? The god of newbie bullies? 
The mark of five imprinted deep into my skin proves that I am one of the TWELVE. - You sure it's not a tattoo? I firmly believe it's a tattoo. 

I never believe him. I drove him out. I did not listen. I wish I did. Maybe he could have help me. Maybe he could have save me from the trouble of falling right into their trap. I know nothing. Because of my stubbornness I lost everything. So now I'm all alone. But she stretch her hand to me. She gave me hope. She invited me to come. And I did. 

So our search began. For the remaining TEN.

They called me FIVE

When I climbed back up, Dad and Lista was confused how I landed safely in the ground. I was tempted to say a girl saved me, catching me as I fall like a princess. But that would garner suspicions, and stupid sneers.

So I held back. I didn't tell them about the address the girl gave me. I want to find her first. Or the Scarred man I saw in the weapon room. Just to assure myself they're not ghosts. They could be allies. I huffed.

I know you'll say I'm too trusting. But the way that girl came to me is the same with how Moon rose appeared before me. Moon rose didn't save me but she always show herself whenever I'm in danger. That should mean something. There could be a connection between them.

Maybe the Scarred Man is a Ranker like Magnus. And that girl who has the same crimson eyes with Moon rose is an Eklektos. Like me.

Meeting her again.
