Liss

"What do you fight for?"

Hearing her unusually serious question and the piercing eyes that were looking straight into his soul made White look carefully at her.

His being fell into a state of strange silence and sereneness.

'What do I fight for?' What silently repeated her question in his absent-minded thought. He knew the answer to that question very well but was stumped for some time.

Glazeing at the girl, his tired pale white eyes gave off a strange light of mysteriousness, but he didn't respond to her question immediately. Instead, he gave her a rarely-seen look in his eyes.

"Interesting question… normally I wouldn't answer it but since it's you," he lightly said before looking up at the sky with a melancholic expression.

"Golden, do you think the heavens are fair and It's impartial to everything?" asked he waited for some time,

She didn't respond, but something in the dept of her eyes changed with surprise at his question.

Seeing her quietness, he continued, but there was a strangeness in him that he didn't even notice. "The answer is not complicated at all because it's not. At a certain point in time, I realized that as long as it existed above me, I couldn't get what I wanted no matter how many times I tried, it would always keep taking things away and get in my way, so, I decided on something."

"You ask me what I fight for right," he slowly got up and walked forward step by step, distancing himself, 

"I fight for my wishes,"

"I fight to kill anyone who stood against my path,"

"I fight for the sake of destroying Someone!"

"And… I will fight till the end of times to bring her back…"

Standing alone on the desolate land with his thin frame and old stained robes, he declared those words. At his vow and truth, the sky seemed to change. It was as though the words spoken by him weren't a baseless promise but an eternal declaration to the world.

At this moment, White seemed to not care about anything and everything, he just stood unmoving and silent under the sky. His bleak and lonely back faced Golden, no one could guess his thoughts or see his expression.

Golden's eyes constricted, feeling a sense of strangeness looking at the mysterious youth's desolate back. Her mouth moved slightly to say something but no word came out of it and she only continued to gaze at him back in slight absentmindedness for some time.

But the environment didn't remain the same and a ripple appeared behind their figures.

Buzz!!

In one of the ripples, a figure in elegant white robes walked out of the empty space in a casual manner.

The person who appeared after the two was a girl in white robes with stunning looks. Her smile was bright, her silverish eyes containing mischievous glee and her eye-catching silverish hair that reached her waist danced at her back. As she walked out of the ripples, she seemed like a princess of the moon, who was innocent and graceful.

"Ohh!" When she looked around and noticed two people that were already there before her, she was surprised! 

"You are here?!" the girl's sweet and chrimes-like voice resounded seeing a person she was familiar with.

Golden was broken from her trench but didn't turn to look at the person immediately, she gave one careful look at the figure of White before her beautiful figure lifted from the ground and looked at the girl who had just appeared.

"You only come out now?" Golden responded with a smirk on her beautiful face upon seeing who it was.

Golden seems to have turned into a different person from the strange and serious demeanor when she was with White before, it also seems she knew the person.

"You don't need to taunt me, I know I can't compare to you, after all my Family specialties are different from yours." the girl in white robes responded, gracefully. "Hehe, I heard you turned renegade, it seems that news was true."

"Oh?! You have already heard it?" Golden was only a little surprised but her expression showed that she didn't care at all. "I'm a little surprised at the speed news traveled, after all, they should've figured out my deeds after the trials have started."

The girl squinted her eyes a little hearing her reply, then she turned and was very shocked to see another person in the field.

She had been so concentrated on Golden that she missed everything around her!

'Another one?' She saw the back of the white-haired youth in a plane old robes and more surprise arose upon checking out the youth. One has to know that to come out of the final phase this fast means he was incredibly talented and absorbed an incredible amount of primal seeds! And from his appearance, he looked to be one of those people with no background.

"Do you know him?" she couldn't help but raise a question filled with slight confusion.

Golden nodded, she didn't need to turn to see who she was talking about.

"How can anyone unknown exit the Space even before me?!" disbelief was present in her eyes as she said. She really couldn't believe what she was seeing. But she wasn't an ordinary person and after taking a deep breath she calmed down and began rationalizing things and then, only then, did she come to some conclusion looking at Golden.

"Golden, could it be that… you are thinking about–." as she was speaking about something, her voice slowly trailed off as if she had confirmed something, her eyes showing a shocked look.

Golden had a smirk on her beautiful face upon the silver hair girl's action, she knew what she was thinking and said, " Liss, It's not what you are thinking, but is partly correct," she had known the silver-haired girl for a long time and could guess from her expression. "Although I planned to try that with one despicable person, I changed my mind."

The silver-haired girl named Liss couldn't help but widen her eyes, "You mean you are going to make him your–"

"Enough!" 

The silvered-haired girl's words were cut off before completion by Golden; making her unable to complete her sentence. The girl could only absentmindedly look at her with her beautiful mouth slightly parted.

"With your nature, I still can't believe it. But– why with him? Golden, could it be that you have fallen in love?" Liss quickly breaks off from her absentmindedness saying, "But again it's impossible with your character."

Liss thought for a moment again, mumbling in an audible voice, "You must have killed that lecherous kid of your Family, so why…"

Golden seems to have enough, she moves her eyes from eyes away looking at the ripples starting to appear in this land. Then she opened her mouth slightly and said, "Right, I almost forgot. Liss, I have been wanting to say something to you, that was the only reason I listened to your

 nonsense for some time."

The girl raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"You see, I met two of your Destiny Protector and didn't kill them despite their rude behavior and the fact that they attacked me, but I did poison them and it should take its effect fast after they emerge." Smiling she continued, "You know what I am talking about right?"

Liss' confusion was instantly washed away, she looked at the wicket golden-haired girl with a frowning look, saying seriously, "What do you want?"

"You are indeed fast, as expected of the Destiny Mirror Family's princess!" Golden nonchalantly said with a slight smile, "It's nothing much actually, in the future, you will do me a small favor. And as for what it is, don't ask, and you don't have to worry either, it will not get you into any trouble."

'Don't worry you father! Nothing good will come whenever you are involved.' the girl cursed in his thought, she warily looked at the golden-haired woman in caution. Some time ago in the second trial, due to some trouble, a few of her members got separated from the main group. The people Golden threatened were two of those people who got separated.

"Do I have your promise? Your Family's Blessing restricts you from breaking a promise you make right?"

The girl fell silent and looked at the golden-haired woman for some time before saying, "Ok, I promised. But I can still break some promise If I want to, so remember it when you ask what kind of favor you are asking." 

Although she didn't want to agree, she didn't want the two to die.

Golden merely glanced at her before taking out a small container and throwing it toward the silver-haired girl. 

White had already returned to his normal state; he didn't know what had gotten to him all of a sudden but he didn't think much of it and thought that it was because of the girl. He also heard the interaction between the two with slight surprise and thought it was definitely not an ordinary interaction.

Buzz!

At the next moment, some figure started walking out from the ripples that were magically created from the thin air.

The first person who appeared was a red-haired youth and a spear on his back, he was handsome and his back was as straight as a spear; giving off an air of confidence.
