"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

The figure was struck right into its head. Its body slammed against the wooden door painted with lacquer. A lot of blood sprayed out of the wall. Even to the young man's robes.

Lucien heaved a long breath. He was able to score a hit. The 'remnant' retracted back into a form of misty miasma, dissolving into its own destruction until nothing is left…except a pile of black dust.

Lucien stretch his fingers. He's not good with spears. But he excel in arrows. Even confident in his long range shot.

"Ava?" he speak through his head. "Ava, you there?" Nothing. He stomped his foot and march out of the stairs. Completely ignoring the bodies of Lucy and her parents.

"Young Master Ember, wait!" He did not listen. His mind is wracking with questions.

Where's Ava? It has been a while since she said she'll come. But where is she? Did she give him a slip? Damn. He's about to exit the hall when a hand stopped him from stepping outside.
