Meeting of the Past and Pressend

Marika was completely in a meditative state and went to the deepest part of herself.

As she went she heard the sound of someone crying. Ones she arrived at the place where the crying came from, she saw herself from when she was not older than 4 years old.

As she approached her the girl looked up.

'Hi little me' Marika smiled.

The little girl looked spooked.

'Don't worry, I'm here to help you.'

The little girl said 'I'm scared I want to leave this place.'

Marika started to explain to the little girl what she was going to do and that by doing that she will lose her precious memories of her live in the human word and that of the world she is now in.

Meanwhile outside of her body, Richard light a new incense cone that marked the start of the 6th hour.

Just after he was done with that, two bird's descended from the sky. It were the two phoenixes.

Richard greeted the 2 in respect. Red and yellow phoenix started to speak to Richard.

"My brother was worried about his care giver so we came here. But looking at her she is making good progress."

The young bird nuzzled Marika's head and spoke "I brought you some help."

Richard turned around and saw two figures approaching them. They bowed their heads out of respect.

One was an old man, the other was a black cat and had Peridot eyes. And the two introduced them self's. The Old man said "My name is Harry and I was a neighbor of this girl. But the day that she left and never came back were hard on me and Chase."

"Al thought she was always alone she never stopped to help me as I was getting older and couldn't do much. She was like a daughter to me. And I acted like an father to her, to support her in live when she was struggling."

"I'm Chase my owner never saw me as a pet, to her I was her best friend, and her family. I stayed with the old man because I was the only living reminisce of her. And now we are here to help her and came to pick up a part of her soul so we can reincarnate."

Richard didn't know what to say, but he felt he could trust these 2, he then looked at Marika.

He smiled and nodded to Harry and Chase.

"Take care of her, knowing her she probably would do something reckless again while I'm not looking."

Harry and Chase laughed, "yep that's our girl for you." Harry said.

"She is a handful, but her spirit is just like that. Please do take good care of her after we leave, she is and always be our precious family." Harry then said.

Richard nodded "Thank you both for been in her life."

Both harry and Chase went inside Marika's body.

Marika who was chatting up with her young self the sensed the presses of Harry and Chase. She looked up and saw them both standing before her. She was in disbelieve and tears started to fall as she hugged the both of them.

'I missed you so much, but how and why are you hear?'

"My dear child we are here for the little one over there." Harry then said.

"We came to help you to part with your human part of your soul" Chase said.

After hearing them she realized 'So you both have passed away?'

At the mere thought she fell to the ground and started to cry. 'I'm so sorry for leaving you to.'

As she kept crying, her younger self walked up to her and had a flower in her hand.

'I'll go with them, and you won't lose anything. As the small girl had now turned in to an adult version. I'll leave all our memories with you.'

Marika looked at herself as if she was looking in a mirror. She smiled and gave herself a hug with a few parting words.

'Please be happy in your new life. And if someone bothers you just beat them up. Your stronger than you think.

Her other self nodded and smiled. 'You too, be happy and live your life to the fullest. Don't be afraid to love someone.'

Marika held the flower in her hand, and smiled while crying when she saw the 3 of them leave.

Now she was alone in the dark and felt lonely again. She felt a part of her was missing but she also felt at peace and she was getting ready to return to Richard and the rest of her new family.

Outside her body Richard and the two Phoenixes were waiting. The incense that was half way through burring marked it had been 5 hours already.

Richard met with Chase, Harry and Marika's human soul. Marika's human soul walk over to Richard.

'She will be sad for a bit since she learned that they both have passed away, so let her mourn there passing.'

'As for her memories, I left them all with her, I have no need for them anyway to where I'm going. Take good care of her.'

Richard nodded "I wish you 3 all the happiness in your new lives."

But just as they said there goodbye's 2 new figures appeared.

"Who allowed you to step in to my Kingdom and my world." Richard said with an treating voice.

The 2 figures ignored him and stared at Marika who was still in a meditative and vulnerable state.

Caelum, Chase and Richard took a stand before Marika as to form a protective wall.

While they stood there Richard had already informed Marika through the telepathic message spell.

"We have a problem, two of the Sun Kingdom have come to kill you, I can't protect you and the ones you hold dear."

"Judging by the looks if they can't kill you they will attack Harry and the others."

Suddenly a voice from behind the was heard. 'Solis, Caelum take them far away, right now!'

But just as she said that one of the two charged at Chase. Her soul and Harry were picked up by Solis red and yellow phoenix.

Chase was hit by a special dagger. The dagger held a power that could damage a soul.

'NO!!!! CHASE!!!!' Marika yelled.

She ran over to Chase and saw the damage 'no, no, no, Chase, hold on your going to be alright!'

She held the body of her beloved friend. Richard ran over to Marika who was totally overcome with all kinds of emotions frantically tried to heal Chase wounded soul.

Richard then said "Give him to me."

Marika gave Chase to Richard, then he noticed Marika's eyes, they had turned Azure green, and there was an aura coming from her that had the intent to kill. She just emitted blind rage.

Richard whispered "I won't stop you, your swords are next to the bag we brought."

As Marika rushed over to get her swords, Richard then said nonchalant to the two "I hope you came prepared to die. Because by attacking this little fellow you signed your own death warned."

The two started to laugh, but in a blink of an eye Marika had already killed the one who had attack Chase.

The other figure stood in shock and disbelieve that his partner had just die by one strike of Marika.

Marika stood there stared at the him, she was ready to make a move if he tried to attack.

Richard who was busy with Chase, then said casually "Marika if he tries anything funny you can attack but don't kill him, I have a few question for him."

'If your done with your question can I kill him?'

"Do what you think is the right thing to do."

Marika didn't answer back but kept a sharp eye on her opponent.

Richard gave Chase a choice, he could leave this place with Caelum and hope he would make it to reincarnate or he could stay, but that meant he will turn in to a familiar of Marika but could never reincarnate even if Marika were to die.

"I want to stay by her side, even if she leaves one day, I will not regret this choice."

Richard turned in to his true form and stared to mend Chase's soul.

The figure who was a man, started to laugh. "You're finally show you're true form you monster."

Marika charged at him and held the point of her sword between his eyes.

'One more word and you wish you never came here and met me.'

The man started to break out in a cold sweat.

"Do you even know who I am? If you kill me…"

'nobody is going to miss you or do anything to us. You forget we have witnesses here that can confirm you guys came her to try and kill me but attract an innocent soul.'

"Do you even know who that monster is behind you?"

'I do, he is Richard Lunam, son of late king Sidus Lunam and late Queen Lilium.'

Richard was shock what he heard coming from Marika.

'So what, his father was a being of the night and his mother was half human and half being of the light.'

'I heard the story about him, and the tragedy that happened in the past. My grandmother told me the story so many times.'

"If you know, then why are you protecting this monster?!"

'I never thought he was a monster! '

'The only thought that came to my mind was that he had to feel very lonely after the loss of his mother and later his father.'

Richard couldn't believe what he heard, she knew about him and his family back ground and the tragedy. But she never mentioned it. She knew but instead of showing pity she surrounded him with love, care and attention. Even when she found out he was royal she wasn't shocked at all. She saw him for the person he is.

Marika started to get more and more agitated of this guy and with the second sword in her hand she stabbed in his leg.

'Then let me ask you, what does that make me huh? I was part human, am part green dragon and part azure dragon. Doesn't that make me more of a monster than him?' She said it with a loud treating voice.

Richard was done with treating Chase and asked Caelum to watch over him.

He walked up to Marika and hugged her from behind, "You're not a monster."

'Your right, in my eyes these bastards of the Sun Kingdom are the monsters.'

"So why are you here? Who allowed you to step foot in my place?"

"We are here to kill her, she shouldn't exist!"

Marika stabbed him in the other leg.'Yeh! Tell me something I haven't heard a million times yet.' She said indifferently.

"And why should she not exist?" Richard asked with a treating voice.

"She will disrupt the balance of the 3 world! Like you she is a monster who will destroy everything!"

Richard looked at Solis who had come back. And Solis shook his head. Than the heard a scream of pain. Marika had inflicted another wound, it was a deep cut on his arm. But she didn't stop there, she made a few more cuts on the man.

Richard then said to Solis casually "And they call me coldblooded and merciless, I think she can hold that Title better than me."

'Are you done?'Marika asked Richard.

"So how did you guys get here? There is no way to enter either of the 2 world."

The man who was heavily injured said "we used a magic spell that was created by the humans. And we used the human word to get in here."

"Do as you wish Marika" Richard then said. As he turned around to check on Chase.

The injured man pleaded to spare him, but Marika ignored his pleads. Just before she was about to finish him of she stopped. She felt the presses of someone with a great energy.

'So you came to get save this piece of trash.... Sun King!'

Richard turned around as he heard Marika's words.

There was a men standing before Marika, he looked around his late 40th,he had white skin and short platinum blond hair.

The man didn't respond to Marika and looked at the dead body and then to the heavy injured man.

He then started to speak "Would you be a dear and heal that guy?" He had a smile on his face when he asked Marika the question.

Marika looked at him but did not respond, she looked at him with a treating look on her face.

"Moon King, could you ask her to heal him up? I don't like to have to drag a bloody person around." He asked with a friendly voice.

Marika held her sword near his trout 'You think I would listen to you and heal up the person who tried to assassinate me? In your dreams!'

Just a second after she spoke her word she killed the injured man. The Sun King could not fallow her moves he was held by sword but she killed him. He couldn't wrap his head around it.

Richard walked up to Marika and said "Sorry you have to drag two dead body's now."

Richard had already telepathically told Marika to put on an act for the Sun King. And she liked that so she agreed to it.

"Marika sweetheart , could you lower your sword? It's hard for him to talk if you keep him a at sword point."

Marika looked at him and then turned her eyes back at the king of the Sun Kingdom. But Marika did not do what Richard asked.

"I know that I told you I won't stop you, but that were only for those two you already killed."

But just as Marika was about to put down her sword, 3 knight's appeared, and saw there king at sword point. They pulled the sword ready to attack.

"Don't move!" The Sun King said.

"If you value you're life I wouldn't move. She even beat me in a sparring match and we were both fighting serious so… doubt you 3 even attacking her all together would last long."

"Marika sweetie keep an eye on those 3, and if they do anything funny just injure them, but make sure they can walk away and drag the trash with them."

'You better make sure; you give me a reward after this.'

"What would you like?"

'You're body!'Marika said and had a lustful expression on her face.

"What do you think you're doing by giving that look, while others are looking."

Richard pulled her in his arms and started to kiss her passionately but with a slight hint of aggression.

"This will have to do for now."

Marika licked her lips and said in a seductive voice 'Than hurry up, because this little bit won't last long.'

And she walked away. And telepathically said to Richard 'I think the Sun King feels sick right now' and she laughed.

"What a vulgar girl"

"You think so? She is actual pretty sweet."

Marika had walked over to the 3 knights and stood there.

"How could you be so rude in front of the king."

Marika rolled her eyes. 'witch one?' she asked.

The soldiers were taken aback by her words.

'There are 2 kings standing over there so witch one?'

"The Sun King of course."

'Ohh , I don't think so…. Firstly I don't take orders or request from people who are a failure as a ruler, and secondly your kind made my life in the human world a living hell. I'm a person who holds grudges.'

One of the 3 knight's got furious and drew his sword.

'Are you sure about that? You really wane join those two over there?' She pointed at the two dead bodies.'

"Like a girl like you could even kill those 2 assassin."

'humm, you think I didn't do that, you can ask the Moon King how I killed the first on and tortured the second on, And about the death of the second one you can ask your trashy king if I did that.'

"Your rudeness know no restrain. And you even behave so vulgar in front of the our King." Said the man who had his sword drown.

Marika lauded her voice so Richard and the Sun King could hear her.

'But my future husband doesn't mind my behavior, in fact he likes me just the way I am. Right Honey!'

"There is nothing wrong with your behavior, and stop acting so cute you're turning me on."

Marika turned back to the knights 'See he is totally oké with how I am.'

Marika tuned her voice down again and said 'but what really turns him on is when he sees me killing people.' And she winked.

"She is just taunting us." The third knight said "don't fall for it."

But now two knights stood there in with their sword drawn.

"This b*tch need a lesson, lets attack her together."

Richard look in the direction of Marika and saw 2 knight were ready to attack her.

"Well Sun King you're lucky I told her not to kill your man, enjoy the show."

The Sun King turned around and saw two of his knights were attacking Marika. But she dodge and deflect there attack's with ease. The third knight looked in horror, how his fellow knights were immobilize in mere seconds by one young girl. And she was holding back, because she was told so.

He could only imagine what could happen if she didn't.

'Honey!! Are you done over there, this place is getting tainted by trash.'

Marika turned her eyes to the Sun King and said 'If I ever get attack by one of your kind in the future know this, I treat it as a declaration of war to me.'

A few more knights appeared and look at the knight who had horror written all over his face.

One of them asked him "Who did all of this?" The knight pointed at Marika "It was all done by her and her alone."

'Ohh the trash collectors have finally come.'

One of the new knight's was furious "you!"

Marika's eyes turned murders again. 'What you want join them?'

'Now pick up the trash and leave right now!!!'

The knight rushed over to 2 knight who were badly injured by Marika and the rest of them went to take the dead bodies and left as soon as they came.

Finally some peace she thought. Now the only thing left was to deal with that irritating Sun King.

But she had already had a plan on how to deal with that.

As she was standing in front of Richard she started to unbutton his shirt.

"Sweaty what are you doing?" Richard reaction very calm to the outside, but on the inside he was not calm at all.

'I'm claiming my reward now.' She pretended that she didn't know the Sun King was still there. and unbuttoned Richard shirt half way and ran her hands over his firm chest.

"Ahum"

Marika looked back agitate 'What? You haven't left yet? Or do you want look how I swallow him whole?' And Marika made a long lick over Richard bear chest.

"Then I'll be leaving. Enjoy your reward."

Just as the Sun King turned around Marika said 'Remember my words, any assassination attempt on me is a declaration of war.'

The Sun King didn't reacted to her word and left.

'Well Master how was my act? Was it good?'

Richard could hardly contain himself and kissed Marika passionately until she was almost out of breath.

"I don't know what kind of spell you used on me the day we met, but you made me fall in love with you .To the point I can't bear see you in pain or you leaving me. So would you please stay with me?"

'If you don't mind a reckless, bold, free spirited and strong girl.'

Richard shook his head. "I love you for who you are, so please don't change it."

Marika nodded and hugged Richard.

Marika walked over to the red and yellow phoenix and said 'I'm sorry for giving you a name, but I didn't know if you had a name.'

Solis asked Marika what the meaning of his name was? 'It means Sun in Latin, It's an old language of the human world. your color is that of the sun.'

"It's a great honor to us phoenixes to receive a name, and I will cherish it."

"Now I have to seal your healing ability, because your healing ability is causing problems with your awakening."

Marika smiled at Solis 'That's fine.'

"And ones you're fully awakened the seal will break automatically."

After the seal was placed on Marika, she asked Solis 'How is Chase doing?'

"Your mate mended his soul and my son Caelum gave him some of you inner energy. But its best he stays here for the rest of the night. This place will help him heal up faster. So he will be able move by tomorrow morning.

Marika then asked 'Richard do you mind camping here for the night?'

"We came well prepared so it's not a problem."

'That's good then because I feel like sleeping now.'

Solis and Caelum bid there goodnight and they will bring them back tomorrow morning.

Richard took a blanked from the bag and wrap Marika and himself in it. He finally felt at peace with her in his arms. And drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Richard woke up seeing Marika hugging him tight. He then looked over at Chase who was sitting there with his back turned to them and guarding the both of them.

"Good morning Chase" Richard said to the black cat.

Chase ears twitched and looked at the both of them. "How is my owner doing?"

She went through a lot and was very anxious because what happened to you. She was scared of losing you even toughed you were about to leave for reincarnation."

"But would you mind waking your owner, I think she would be happy if you did that."

Chase nuzzled Marika's head.

'Just 5 more minutes Chase .'

After she said that her eyes flew open. She picked up the cat to have a good look at him.

'Chase! Are you alright? Is your wound oké?'

"I'm fine now own..."

Marika tabbed his head.

'Marika! friend and family don't call each other owner or Master.'

"But I'm your familiar as of today…."

'It doesn't matter, your my best friend and don't see it any other way. So you just call me by my name.'

Richard started to smile while looking how the two were interacting.

"Shall we pack up and go back?"

'But you promised I could pick some more herb's after I was done.'

"Alright I'll pack up you pick some herbs."

After Marika was done picking herbs, she went back to Richard to put the herbs in the bag. As she was about to put the herbs in the bag, Marika froze, she felt a strong presents. She picked up her swords and charged at a person.

Everything went so fast Richard couldn't comprehend what is going on. As he looked in the direction Marika went he saw the person standing at sword point.

"So fears, I like that!"

"But your confides can also be your down fall."

The man drew his sword.

'I don't know who you are, but have you ever beaten the man behind me?'

"Not once, why?"

Marika smiled 'Then it's your funeral!'

"How interesting!"

As the man charged at her, Marika made one strike to disarm him and another move ground him.

It took her less than 45 seconds to subdue her opponent.

As the man was defeated he asked "How long did it take you to take down Richard?"

'Four and a half hours.'

"You went head to head with that man and it only took you four and a half hour to beat him! That is quit fast"

"I have fallen for you, will you mar…"

'NO!'

Richard came over, and looked at the man, it was his friend and new head of the black dragon clan Canus Ater .

"Hey Richard, do something about this women" he said in a winy tone.

"You didn't kill him?" Richard asked her in a casually voice.

"Your so mean."

'He had no killing intent in his attacks and even though he has a strong presents his face told me he meant no harm. I don't kill something that doesn't want to kill me. ' Marika said indifferently.

"How cold!"

'But if you want I can kill you here and now' Marika teased him.

"Please don't!"

The man stood up and brushed of some dirt of his clothe.

"Are you not going to introduce us?"

"I redder not" Richard said with a teasing expression.

"Why? Are you intending to keep her all to yourself?"

"Yes I am, got a problem with that?"

"You such a cold friend."

You know me, I don't like to share!"

Suddenly Marika started to laugh at the two men, as they looked at Marika they started to laugh as well.

She then said 'to be faire I did promise myself if I ever were to meet him I would never leave his side. Richard is the one who picked me up and helped me with the start of my new life. But I will introduce myself.'

She shook the men's hand. Hi I'm Marika, I just arrived a little less than a month ago, and just before you came we already confessed our love for each other.' She said with a smile.

"My name is Canus Ater, I'm the new head of the Black Dragon Clan and a good friend of Richard."

And he then asked Marika with a whisper "How did he confessed?"

'I don't know what kind of spell you used on me the day we met, but you made me fall in love with you .To the point I can't bear see you in pain or you leaving me. So would you please stay with me?'

"You call that a confession?"

'You're so naïeve, words don't matter, what matters is his actions.'

Canus and Richard looked both puzzled by her words.

Marika looked at the both of them.

'What?? I could tell your feeling even before you told me.'

"How could you tell?" Richard asked.

'The first time was when you kissed me in front of that Sun basted, and the second time when I unbuttoned your shirt, you pretend to be calm but your hard was racing.'

'You think I would not notice it and thought it was all an act?'

"I give up, I really can't hide anything from you" Richard said with a slight defeat in his voice.

'Your right, you can't.' Marika said with confidants in her voice.

"On behave of my clan I will acknowledge you as the future wife of Richard and the future Queen of the Azure clan. We shall welcome you with open arm as a friend and Alias. " Canus said.

"Ohh I almost forgot the reason why I came, in 2 weeks there will be a party held at my castle. My Elder brother Cinis is getting engaged."

"With who is he going to be engaged to?" Richard asked.

"With the 3rd princess of the Red Dragon Clan. But to be honest my brother isn't too happy about it so he asked me to invite you."

Richard looked at Marika "This is going to be a problem, Marika can't stand the beings of the Sun Kingdom, if she comes with me there will be casualties if they do or say anything to Marika. And even I can't stop her when she has her pray in her sight."

Marika looked at Canus and asked 'Does the Green Dragon Clan still exist?'

"Yes they do! Why do you ask?"

Marika had a smile on her face. 'Well If your brother really doesn't like it I could help him get out of it if he wants. I'm after all a descendant of the Green and Azure clan anyway.'

"You're joking right! If it's true than…"

'Well to be honest I just recently found that out so the Green Dragon Clan doesn't know of my existence. But for my whole life the Sun Kingdom tried to kill me many, many times. So I have a score to settle with them.'

'I can approach it in two ways I could go as the fiancé of Richard and they won't try to do anything but it won't have much effect.'

'Or I could go as a representative of both clans. As far as my knowledge go's The Green Clan is pretty neutral, but they do not like the Red or the Yellow Clan. And if I reveal my identity and that Sun Kingdom tried to kill me so many times what do you think will happen.'

'But I do need an orb for that, to show the prove.'

Both man were listening to Marika as she told her plan, and were astonished she came up with such a plan as to reveal her heritance and what she went through, That would corner the Yellow and Red clan and stop grabbing more power.

'So what do you think?'

"Well I think you should go with your second plan since it would be more effective" Richard said.

"While it is effective, wouldn't it be more dangerous for her?" Canus questioned Richard.

"Well you think I can stop her? Even if I disagree she would do it anyway."

"But….."

"Don't worry she is a good fighter, she even beaten me. So what's to worry about?"

'Well just talk to your brother and see what he thinks, just tell him what you just learned and what my plan is. If he disagree I can always go for the first plan and go as Richard fiancé . Just let me know a week before the party.'

Chase walk up in the size of a black panther "Don't worry! As her familiar I won't let anybody touch her. And if they try to do anything, well too bad for them they will get hurt."

"See there is nothing to worry about" Richard said.

"You really trust her so much, alright then! Since I already acknowledge her, I place my trust in her to."

Canus said his goodbye's and left Mystic Cave.

Richard and Marika were packing up the last of their belongings and started their way back to the mansion.

Along the 4 hour journey Marika asked 'Since when did I bought those two sword? I only remember I bought the wooden swords.'

"Well when you told me you were a dual wield sword fighter I asked the black smith to make you a pair of real swords. There is also something engraved in the blade."

Marika looked at the blade of the first sword the word where magister, the second blade had the word curatorial. If you combine these 2 it would mean Master Guardian.

'You know the meaning if you combine these words right?'Marika asked Richard.

"Well yes and it fits, although Latin is a language that died out in the human world it still existed here and is not a lost language. But the meaning of some words maybe slightly different for yours."

"But the meaning of the words on your swords is Master Guardian."

Marika was over joyed and hugged Richard. 'Thank you so much'

As they were almost home Chase asked Marika "Can I have a new name? I started a new life and chase was my name of my old life."

Marika thought and came up with 2 names 'I thought of two names but you can pick witch one you like Venor or Agito!'

Chase then said "I'll take Agito"

'Alright from today your name is Agito.'

Richard, Marika and Agito finally reached home. As they went inside they were greeted by everybody.

Kevin saw Agito and asked "Sister is that your familiar?"

Marika nodded 'His name is Agito.'

Agito walked over to Kevin and Dante and started nuzzle them both, he knew they were very close to her even though she hadn't mentioned they were her new brothers . Dante and Kevin started to pet Agito and were getting along just fine, then Dante asked Agito if he was hungry?

Then Richard called for Noir. As Noir had appeared he saw Agito.

"Who is he?" he asked Richard.

"He is Marika's familiar."

Marika saw Noir and called Agito over.

'Noir could you help Agito to adjust to his life of a familiar?, he was just born as a familiar.'

Noir looked at Agito "Sure no problem."

Then Noir said to Agito "Nobody is a treat to her and she like everybody accept for two people. If you come across a vampire called Arthur just chase him down, He is very annoying and Marika already beat him up twice. And The second is doctor Niveus, he doesn't stay here but he comes here from time to time but scaring him of would be easy just growl and show some teeth that should be enough."

Then Noir and Agito went with Dante to get something to eat.

Marika then asked Kevin where Luna was since she didn't saw her. Kevin told her she went back to her clan.

'That is good then.'

Derick walked over to Marika and asked "are you alright now? He had a worried look on his face.

'I'm alright now and my healing abilities are currently sealed so my awakening can go smoothly now.'

Derick was relieved and hugged his adoptive daughter.

'Ohh there is something I wanted to tell you, Canus wants to marry me.'

Marika grind at Richard.

"Ohh so that little boy of the Black Dragon Clan, thinks he can take you away"

"I redder see you and Master getting married than you going off to the Black clan."

Marika then whispered to Derick 'Richard told me this, I don't know what kind of spell you used on me the day we met, but you made me fall in love with you .To the point I can't bear see you in pain or you leaving me. So would you please stay with me?'

'And he said he love me the way I am and I should never change.'

Derick looked at Richard and then said "If he asks again I will not oppose."

Richard had no idea what they were whispering but it didn't seem bad for him.

Marika went upstairs to get a hot bath and a change of cloth. After she was done she went in to the 3rd floor music room and played a song on the Violin, it was a sad song.

Derick and Richard who were at the study next door heard it and Derick asked "whys is she playing a sad piece?

Richard explained what had happened.

"In order for her to safely part with her human soul an old man and a cat appeared to help her part with the soul and they would reincarnate. She broke down when she saw them and I guess when she found out they have passed away she felt guilty."

"They were the only light in her life in the human world, so let her mourn the loss of her family and a part of herself."

Then Agito is the cat and became her familiar? But even so…"

Agito got attacked by assassins of the Sun Kingdom, when she saw it happen and saw her best friend hurt like that she was devastated, and I let her kill those assassins."

"But I still left the choice to Agito himself, he could go and hope he make it to reincarnate, or become a familiar and never have the chance to reincarnate. He choose to stay by her side and would not regret his choice even if Marika would ever die."

Then there was a knock on the door, and Marika opened the door without saying a word and with tears in her eyes. Richard and Derick looked at Marika and could feel in how much pain she was over the loss. Richard walked over to her and hugged her tight. He didn't say a word but just held her.

Derick left the room so he could make her some thee to help her calm down.

Richard then took Marika over to the sofa and let her lay down on his lap and stroke her hair but he never said a word to here. Because he knew the pain of losing family all too well and no words could help the grieving person. So he let her cry her heart out because that is the only way to find closure.

Derick came back with a pot of thee and out it on the table. He also didn't say a word and just patted her head and left the room again.

As time went by Richard notice Marika had cried herself to sleep. He picked her up and brought her to his bedroom to let her sleep in peace.

Just as he left the room he was met with Dante, Kevin, Agito and Noir.

Dante then asked "What happened to sister? I heard her play the violin and it sounded so sad my heart sunk."

"She is grieving now over the loss of her loved ones. You can go in but when she is a wake don't talk to her just hug her and show her that your there for her. She just need some time to find closure."

Agito knew what Richard was talking about. So he went in to the room and hoped on the bed and curled himself up next to her. Noir also stayed and promised that he would let Dante and Kevin know when she was awake.

Both of them laid on each side of Marika, like they were guarding something.

Richard and the others left the room reassured that she will be fine when she woke up.
