"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

At the bottom of the spiral stairs, we can hear the howls of beasts. They're getting close. We look at each other. Magnus signed we keep going. I nod. The end is drawing near. There's a strange yellow light dancing at the top.

Magnus fired two or three questions to Seven, she didn't answer. Her voice was silent in our head. We take it, talking is done. Time to drill some action. I still can't get a clear grip about the new revelation she spoke to us.

Switching souls? My Dad didn't actually absorb my blessing? Then what was all that taunting Lista has done to me? Was it for his ego satisfaction to watch me suffer? Or to push me on edge so I'll go back getting stronger?

But one thing is for sure. Their betrayal is certain. What Seven said had only glazed their intentions. Shift the weight of their sin to this Dark Elf guy. Still, it didn't change anything. Magnus reached the top first and do a somersault to kick off the lid.
