City's Mirage

James and Lucius embarked on their quest to understand and confront the dark forces that the impacts of the screen had unleashed. Towards the end of the forest, they encountered an area full of tall buildings, each towering over the other in a mesmerizing display of architectural marvels that felt futuristic for Lucius with their sleek designs and advanced technology. The city seemed to shimmer with an otherworldly glow, drawing James and Lucius closer with its enchanting allure. As they ventured further into the heart of the city, they couldn't help but feel a sense of both excitement and trepidation, unsure of what awaited them amidst the towering structures.

Soon enough, they were attacked by a girl named Seraphin. She was swift and agile, her movements a blur as she effortlessly dodged their every strike. Seraphin's eyes glowed with an intensity that matched the city's ethereal glow, hinting at a power beyond human comprehension. She easily pinned James towards the ground, holding him hostage to get information from Lucius. James was a bit shocked, but not surprised. He had always known that their journey would be filled with unexpected challenges and encounters, but he didn't expect to be put down so easily. He also didn't expect to get sat on by a person of the opposite gender. As Seraphin exerted her dominance over James, he couldn't help but admire her strength.

Lucius, on the other hand, remained calm and collected, his mind racing to find a way out of this predicament. As Seraphin demanded answers, Lucius realized that she was just a kid, or what someone called a "teenager," meaning that she was around the same age as James. Lucius couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy for Seraphin, recognizing the burden she must carry at such a young age. He knew that appearances could be deceiving, and her youthful exterior masked a strength beyond her years. Despite the gravity of the situation, Lucius couldn't help but wonder what had led Seraphin down this path and if there was any way to resolve their differences peacefully.

Seraphin noticed a lack of concentration in Lucius. She breaks the silence by screaming at James, as she feels something growing where she sits. Startled by Seraphin's sudden outburst, Lucius quickly snapped back to attention. He realized that her discomfort was likely due to the physical sensation. mes felt being sat on. Concerned, he asked if she was okay and if there was anything he could do to help. She jumped back as James was standing up, her face filled with anger and her fist clenched to the point of bleeding. Lucius, taken aback by Seraphin's reaction, tried to calm her down and understand the cause of her anger. He gently approached her, saying, "Seraphin, please, let's talk about what happened. I want to understand why you're so upset and find a way to help you." Still visibly angry, Seraphin took a deep breath and slowly began to explain the situation that had led to her outburst, saying, "HOW DARE HE? What was that between his legs? Why is it that big? Lucius looked surprised and struggled to find the right words to respond.

As James stood up, tensions rose even higher, leaving everyone on edge. James, sensing the escalating tension, interjected calmly, "Let's all take a step back and try to approach this with a level head. We're here to find a solution, not create more conflict." His words hung in the air, urging Lucius and Seraphin to pause, looking at him with a mix of surprise and uncertainty.

After all the commotion was settled, Seraphin started to tell her backstory.
