...bumped into me. 'a young girl'

"Hey!" I yelled back at her.

"Oh! sorry, sorry I didn't see you there..." She said with a gentle voice.

I just stood there, stunned. She looks like Arwan, a very close resemblance. I felt bad for yelling at her-

"It's okay... by any chance, do you have a brother?" I asked.

damn it curiosity-

 "Yes.. but we don't talk about Caelestis." She whispered.

Caelestis is Arwan if I have to guess.

"May I ask why? If you don't mind answering that is-"

"It's best if I don't tell, but why are you soo interested in knowing him?"

"Nothing much, I had seen a picture of him somewhere and you both look quite alike so, I was just a bit surprised." I replied back.

Well, if I said that I know your brother and even had spoken to him, I don't think I would be welcomed here-

"Oh.. by the way you are not from here, are you?"

"You noticed now?-"

"Heh.. sorry, Oh! by the way I'm Cyra and I'm suppose to take you to father.."

"Your father?"

"Yup! he's the head here."

"Lumi, nice meeting you." I said as I smiled at her gently.

She also had jet black, straight hair and was perfectly placed where it was supposed to be as if they were meticulously bushed everyday. She was a bit shorter than I was, i guessed she might be younger than me. Her eyes were a light shade of brown eyes but exactly that of her brother, other than the color. Perhaps, they could be identical twins if it wasn't for the eyes.

"Here we are!" She said after a long walk.

We reached to a hotel, if I had to say so. There weren't many people in fact, the place was quite empty.

"Father would like to meet you tomorrow." She said as she handed the room keys to me.

"Looking forward to it." I said.

"Be careful.." She whispered slowly.

I think she trusts me then. I fell flat on my bed, finally some rest!

********************************************************

"HEYYY!~" Erven screamed.

I just wanted some rest-

but I ended in a white void again.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?-" I yelled back at him.

"Sweet revenge, best served cold!" 

"I wish you were a human."

"Why?"

"SO I CAN PUNCH THE SHIT OUT OF YOU-"

"Okay, chill. I'm here to tell you something."

"Continue.."

"Wow, not even a thanks but anyways, you know that the war happened because of the Perseus."

"Yes.. but I don't how that would cause a war."

"Well, this is going be difficult to understand soo, try your best to understand."

"Okay.."

"The Perseus holds significant power, and whoever gains control of it...who knows what might occur? The Perseus isn't something that emerged naturally. 

Someone crafted it—a force pieced together from the remnants of orphic. This crafted Perseus is the original one, from this the other Orphics get corrupted. 

How?.. I'm still not sure. The original Perseus was made from different bits of Orphic that were taken from worlds across the cosmos, twisted and corrupted, and forged into this dangerous creation. With this, 'he', ignited wars and bended realms to his will. But behind it all, there was a deeper purpose for him, 'he' just wanted revenge. And he sought it against someone...someone you might know."

"Someone I might know?"

"It's actually an organization- GOC." Erven replied in a serious tone.

"GOC..?"

"Guardians Of the Cosmos."

"Yeah.. I didn't know that organization dated soo long ago."

"Well, now you do. To destroy all the Perseus, we need get rid of the mother."

"Who is this 'he'?" 

"That.. I can't tell you, yet."

I remained silent. This was already too much to handle but I could get rid of the corruptions now.. this is good isn't it?

"Oh! by the way.. there is already a part of the original Perseus with you." He continued. 

"WAIT, WHAT-"

"Yeah inside the pendent of your, if you remove the picture, you can see a small part of it.. and thats what gives you powers."

"And you tell me now?-"

"Yeah."

"Where do you think I can find the 'mother'?" I asked.

"You are good in fixing things right?.."

"I took up engineering, actually.. chief forced me too-"

"Okay, I don't care about that. You need to forge a compass."

"Are you kidding me?"

"No, I'm Sirius."

"What the hell-"

"I had too much time so binge watched HP.. ANYWAYSS, You need to get the parts of the same specific orphic."

"From which planets?"

"And I'll tell you that later, but save up on the red dewdrop flowers."

Before I could even ask why, I found myself on the bed again. I can not with this guy- thing or whateverr- 

I decided to go check the view outside, and it was just sunrise. Truly, a wonderful sight to see.      

**************************************************

I cleaned myself up and went down to the lobby, where Cyra waited for my arrival. 

"Hope I didn't keep you waiting for long." I politely said after greeting her.

"Oh! no, no.. I just came now." She replied, her face was worn out... like something had happened.

"Are you feeling alright?" I asked as we stepped out of the lobby.

"I'm good..."

"Well, if there anything you need help with, I'm always there." Bold words to say to someone whom you just met.

She chuckled at my response..

Damn it! Arwan comes to my mind when I'm with her-

"Thanks, but really, I'm fine." She said gently, but I was certain that was a lie.

We walked down and finally reached the place, and it was huge-

"Please.. just be careful.. of Kaito, my father." She slowly said and left me from there.

I entered the grand room. It was in various shades of grey and navy blue, looks like it's considered loyalty here.

The whole room went silent as I stepped in and there stood Kaito. The mastermind.

I took a deep breath, knowing that, this is not going to be easy.

"Lumi, am I right?" He started of the conversation.

"Yes, it's my honor to meet you."

He stared into my soul but I didn't flinch, I could afford to lose my first operation. He nodded to his ministers, if I had to guess.

"You came for research purposes I assume?"

"Yes, your highness."

"Very well, I'll give you three months time to do whatever you want, but... you have to do you have to do us a favor for us in return."

It was definitely unexpected but right then, Cyra's words ringed in my ears.

"Please do tell me what do you need my help with." 

"One of our prisons have escaped, we do not know how but we just you to catch him."

"Consider it done." I replied confidently and left after giving my respects.

Pleased by my response he told "His details will be given later today, I will send Cyra to give you everything we recorded."  

 I bowed down and left after giving my respects.

Cyra rushed towards me, looks like she had been waiting for me again.

"Hey Cyra."

"Wha-what did father tell you?" She said out of nowhere.

I remained silent as I studied her facial expression.

I finally said "To catch a run away."

She gave me a devastated look. 

I think she might have some idea where that person is, or even have some connection with him. If I get Cyra to trust me then I think she might give some information she has.. because it's clear that she knows too much.

"Lumi, Lumi please, at 1 can you come to this location?" She desperately said and handed over the coordinates.

"I will." I said assuring her.

I headed back to the hotel, rethinking everything Cyra said to me.. but for now I have to report everything to Anora. 

I ringed her up and she answered it immediately, again.

"WHAT DID I TELL ABOUT CALLING ME EVERYDAY-"

"Sorry, I didn't call you when I was SUFFERING TO GET HERE."

"Hey.. do you know there is umm.." 

Anora's worrying voice tells me there's something thats not suppose to be here.. I looked back and saw a blinking red light on the wall. I went closer to inspect it.. and it's a voice recorder. 

Damn it. This is what Cyra meant by careful.

"Anora, I'll ring you later k?" 

"But wai-" I cut her off before she could finish her sentence.

I removed the voice recorder to check any other recordings were there, but I found none. I searched if there were any more placed in my room, and I found two more. Nice surprise for me. I decided to disable the recordings and make it seen like they were broken or the battery was lose. I made sure to scan the room for any more, and luckily there were none.

I ringed Anora again and told her what had happened.

"You got to be kidding me?!"

"Well, I'm not.."

"Okay, I don't think it's best that we talk from now onwards. Just send a signal to us, then I'll know you are alive at least."

"Will do."

"If there were voice recorders then there might be people tailing behind you so, you better be careful k?"

"Okay, tell chief that I'll write down the report and give it to her after I'm come back."

" Okayyy.. meet you soon and be carefull!" She said as she left the call.

The time was 12:30, according to the coordinates that Cyra sent, it would take a minimum of 30 minutes to get there.

I walked between busy roads and high-end shops as the view of the Mount Sora could be seen.

At last I arrived at the location, a park. It was filled with tress,  lakes and birds of all kinds. As I walked on the soft grey pathways, I finally met up with Cyra...

Cyra! Arwan's sis.

what else should I say-
