(At the same time, around the capital, Joss walks with Wendy to meet up with the rest of the group.) 

Wendy: Wait Mast...Joss! Can we go visit a friend of mind?

Joss: Well...the thing is...

(Wendy looks down with teary eyes. Joss then looks at Wendy and makes a little smile.)

Joss: Well, visiting can't do us any harm. Lead the way partner.

(Wendy is filled with happiness and climbed down his shoulder and begins to run towards a little tea shop located in a corner. Wendy enters the shop while Joss walks slowly and looks at the entrance. The sign says, "Mellow Infusions". As Joss enters, he sees some tables and chairs and a grand stage. The lights are dim, but he hears Wendy's voice and follows it. Then he catches sight of a young girl who is playing with Wendy. She stares at Joss with a fierce look. He takes a step backwards.)

Wendy: This is the person I was talking you about, my Master!

(The girl walks slowly towards Joss, then stares at him.)

???: You really don't look like a strong fighter...

(She then smells the air around Joss)

???: ...but one thing is for sure, you smell of death.

(She takes a small blade and points it towards Joss.)

???: Release Wendy at once!!! You are not worthy enough of having her as a familiar, let alone protect her!

(Joss quickly steps back and bites one of his fingers, releasing blood and making a similar blade to the girl, then he makes a battle stance.)

???: W-What?! Are you a Deadman?!?!

???: MEI, SHEATH YOUR WEAPON!

(In that moment, a strong voice filled the entire shop. The girl quickly sheathed her blade and kneeled in the floor.)

Mei: Sorry Great Mother!

(From the stage, an old woman walks slowly with the help of a cane. She is blind, with white hair. She finally arrives at where Mei and Joss are.

Great Mother: That is no way to treat a costumer in our shop.

Mei: But he isn't a costumer!

(The Great Mother looks at Joss)

Great Mother: Mmmmm... for the looks of it, he carries money.

Mei: Sorry Great Mother.

(Mei looks dreadfully at Joss)

Great Mother: Come here Joss. Be at ease, she will not harm you.

Joss: How is it that in this place everyone knows my name?!

(The Great Mother laughs)

Great Mother: It is because you are different and attract the attention of people. And because your looks. Come here, take a seat.

(She sits in a chair and waits for Joss to sit too. Joss dispels his weapon and walks to the chair. Mei walks away and returns with two old glasses of tea. She then places both teas on the table while still glaring dreadfully at Joss.)

Great Mother: So, little boy, why do I have the pleasure of having you in this old, rusty tea shop?

(Joss stares with curiosity and malice at the glass of tea.)

Great Mother: Do not fear boy, for is not poisoned. If I or Mei wanted you dead, we could have killed you the moment you stepped into the store.

(Joss takes a little sip of the tea.)

Joss: I'm here because my familiar wanted to see your...

Great Mother: She is my granddaughter, Mei.

Joss: Yeah...Mei...

(Wendy approaches the table with fear.)

Wendy: Sorry Great Mother...I really didn't wanted to make things go bad.

Great Mother: Fear not my child. It's just the nature of Mei, and that she really cares for you that turned into this situation.

(Mei rushes from the backstage)

Mei: Great Mother, I think this...person...is not worthy of having Wendy as her master!

(Joss quickly stands up)

Great Mother: And what is worthy for her? She was the one that chose him to be her master. He has the symbol of their pact and you know it.

(Mei bites her lips until blood begins to drip)

Mei: I want to battle you for her!!! (She shouts)

Joss: I don't have time to waste here. (He begins to walk towards the entrance)

Mei: If you lose, you will release her immediately and you will never chase or talk to her.

(Joss keeps walking)

Joss: As I said, I don't have time to waste here.

(Mei runs and blocks the way of Joss.)

Mei: If you win, I will let you stay with her.

Joss: She is already with me because she wanted to. There's no need for a fight.

Mei: And I will give you a rare item!!!

(Joss stops for a moment and looks back at Mei, then at Wendy.)

Wendy: I-I don't want to you...to fight for me...

(Joss starts to think for a moment.)

Joss: You WILL leave us alone and never meddle with us again?

Mei: I will give you my word.

(Mei takes out his blade and makes a little cut in her left hand)

Mei: By the blood of the great power that dwells in me.

(Joss sighs.)

Joss: Ok. We can do this outside or...

Mei: No. We will fight in the stage.

Joss: O..k..? If that's what you want...

(Both walks to the stage and gets ready to fight. Joss uses the same wound to make a small sword. Mei in the other hand, opens a little her dress and take two small swords.)

Mei:

(Joss looks with a lost face at her.)

Joss: I'm Joss...and I will fight with my blood?

(Mei takes a battle stance. She whispers some words and her weapons began to shine in a red color. Joss stares for a moment and the runs to where she was. Mei jumps in the blade of Joss' blade and cuts him in the back.)

Mei: If this is how strong you are, you are better off without her.

(Joss stares at Mei with rage and bites one of the fingers in his right hand and makes another blade. Then he rushes to where Mei was and begins to make slashes. Mei dodges all of them with grace and style and begins her counterattack. She parries the attacks of Joss and makes him fall.

Joss rolls on the floor. Mei jumps to the final attack. Joss makes a lance out of the blood that was on the floor, with the wound Mei did on his back. Mei looks puzzled and when she sees the spear, her eyes turned red for a moment, she quickly dodges the attack and makes a spinning jump. In that moment, the Great Mother shouts.)

Great Mother: STOP, BOTH OF YOU!

(Mei stops the attack at the face of Joss.)

Great Mother: You were using the secret art of the clan on a mere person who doesn't even know a fighting style Mei.

Mei: But he was just...ugh...

(Joss falls unconsciously to the floor.)

Great Mother: He is having a major blood loss and you still think this is honorable? That was not the way I raised you Mei.

(Joss tries to move but is incapable of doing it.)

Great Mother: Take him to one of the guest rooms at the back. And for the time being, take Wendy with you.

(Mei reluctantly carries Joss to one of the rooms while Joss tries to talk.)

Joss: I need...say U and Abella...find them...tell them...

Mei: This guy has nerves! Dying and talking about other people!

(She tosses Joss on the bed, then she bites her index and makes a magic circle in the floor. In that instance, a butterfly appeared.)

Mei: Find who this Abella or U is and tell them THIS guy is here in this shop. Use his memory to find them.

(The butterfly poses itself in the forehead of Joss, the began to fly out of the store to the sky, where it disappeared. Mei takes a step out of the room and looks back at Joss.)

Mei: Be grateful of mother, because if it wasn't for her, you would have been dead.

(She closes the door and walks away.)

(In the meantime)

(Arabella continues to look for Lucy near the entrance of the castle, looking suspicious to everyone around.) 'Luuuucyyyyyyyyy, where are youuuuuuuuuuu! We really need to get going!.............ah, well. give me sight.....................welp, she's near the water fountain in the gardens? Now how the heck did she get there? Hey U! Do you know the way to the back gardens? Because all I see are the giant gates surrounding the back of the palace.'

(U looks around)

U: There are -clears throat- Several ways - Giggles- but i always like to do one of my best options. Come with me.

(They walk a little closer to the Castle but are behind a pair of bushes)

U: Now ... I don't know how you feel about the dark but ... What you are going to feel is ... Well ... dread... and maybe some tickles but no worries, I'll keep a good hold of you.

(He smiles and he greatly spreads himself open, seeming almost like a giant cloud of terror. He then immediately wraps himself around Arabella and they both sink into the ground.)

U: This is my view of the world

(Arabella feels as if she is like a fly with clouded eyes. She can see multiple places at once and all within range of a mile.)

U: Ahh there she is!!

(Then one of the views zooms in and as soon as it comes into full view, they have arrived that exact location. They emerged in one of the corners of the Castle Garden. Lucy is just a couple blossom rows ahead)

(Lucy Begins jumping in between the garden and what seems to be a bat chasing her around)

Arabella: 'Oh wow! I never thought you could see this far ahead U! This is incredible! Oh, and Lucy! Wait.......is she seriously letting herself be chased by a bat........?' (Then she howls with laughter and grips onto you for a firmer perch.) 'Welp, I guess we get to find out why.'

U: Thank you Arabella, you have been the third person to journey with me in my form. The first one was Lucy, the second ... A traitor. But nonetheless, LUCY!!!

(Lucy jumps out of a bush and crash head onto the bat, not distracted by U and Arabella's laughter. They fall into the bush and you hear them changing into human form.)

Lucy: Hi papa and Arabella!! Sorry for wondering off like that - Nervously Laugh- I .. Just .. You see.. I just need to see her again.

(The Bat turned into human form and gets out of the bush brushing her hair and her tail)

Rose: Hello U, How's thing been in the years? - Sees Arabella- Hmm why hello!! Sorry for the ignorance earlier. You know how these youngsters love to play around- Giggles and lays out her hand to shake- I'm Rose DeFonte Faturra, private Observer and Adviser for the queen. Don't let my looks deceive - Smiles-

Arabella: 'No worries ma'am. My name is Arabella Houniki. Nice to meet you, and Lucy! At least tell us before running off ok? I'll always try to take you where you want to go, and Mr. U it was a lot of fun. Thank you for the trip! I haven't laughed like that in years.'

U: Oh please, none of it. I'm here to bring happiness. Now you two be good alright. Oh.. Sorry for intruding behind Castle gates ... Again Rose - Smiles-

Rose: Yes... For the 10th time U ... But you are welcomed here. Just ... Use the forsaken front entrance U.

U: It's just I'm lazyyyyy - Laughs- Welp stall for no more, I need to go to the bank. See you at the hotel you two and until next time Rose.

(He submerges and zips out)

Lucy: Sorry about that Arabella... Il let you know next time. I guess papa showed you about the Bond vision?

Rose: That is one of most phenomenal ways to keep track of these little rascals!!. - Tickles Lucy down to the floor-

Arabella: 'Yepsies. Mr. U taught me after you ran off. Hey, Rose and Lucy, would you like to go do some shopping? I kind of want to go sightseeing and maybe get some food. I'm hungry.' (She says with a far-off look and a belly rumble.)

Oh! And Rose how old are you? You look 10 but I'm guessing you're like an elf. Really old but looking young.'

(Rose's ears twitch and she lets out a nerving smile)

Rose: Uum... Well my dear, not Elf ... Disgusting and rude creatures as they be. I'm a Demon, the good kind - giggles- That is why I mentioned to not let my looks deceive, I'm actually 347 Years old. The Queen is the 4th highness whom I have served with great Honor. The Alucard Family are quite insisting of me staying with them.

Lucy: Well there are several shops to go to, I'm quite hungry as well - gets up from the floor-

Rose: I had asked you about having a meal before play time! - pays her attention towards Arabella- I will be pleased to escort you through town, but if it's a meal that you desire, please, I insist on eating here at the Castle. If you are bonded with Lucy, then that means that you are a kindhearted person declared by the World. You are trusted inside.

Arabella: 'Well, thank you! I would most appreciate a free meal, an THEN we go shopping. It is very impressive that you have served for such a long time, and I apologize if I have insulted you. Elves where I am from generally are the most gracious and evolved form of life. I am still getting used to all of this, but I do have a question. What does it mean when the world chose me to be bonded with Lucy? I just thought it was supposed to be that our magics were compatible.'

(She begins to escort them inside)

Rose: Please none of it. You're not from here huh? Another dimensional portal incident I guess. That happens a lot in a dimension filled with magic. Well you were by a misunderstanding and lack of Knowledge dear, so no worries. I'll answer your questions.

(Go through several huge doors that open on their own and pass by many Angel and Demon Knight statues, all in different poses)

Rose: Well the World, Oamni, is a celestial being. She decides at your birth or in your case, your arrival; What will you be for her. All laws are derived from her.

(One of the Angel Statue Glares at Arabella and a demon Statue twitches)

Rose: Then to answer your question, the World saw who you are. She knows who Lucy is, she determined her from her birth and if your bond was completed then that means that you were her other half. Now she and you will be stronger together other than separated. So, keep in mind you have strength together.

(They reach a Humongous Center, the walls designed with exotic and historical art. They step on the center design and begins to rise. The roof above them opens and they fit perfectly through it, reaching a beautiful ball room/ dining area. All the chairs and tables assemble themselves and the place receives a Gardinia and Peperment Scent.)

Now there are several " Versions" Of the bond. There is yours, the true bond. The strongest, but rarest bonds of all because there is only ONE half. There have been cases of two or three but ... Extremely rare. Everyone has a half.

The other bond is the forced or truce bond, where two subjects draw blood and chant to seal the bond. Their power isn't as strong but what they lack in strength, they gain in intellect. They share their memories and intelligence. Even though that bond is forced, the World approves, but the Wolrd will disclose your other half. If you were to encounter with them, your bond will not be successful.

(They sit and cloths fall onto the table gracefully and in sequence, followed by the utensils. Candles turn into Mini chandeliers floating in midair)

Rose: Then there is the Corrupted bond, the World doesn't approve of that one but when it is done, you will be tainted with the mark of the unworldly. Dark force of this world who wish to take over everything just for greed. The way of that bond is to use bond Magic. Dark magic, magic to corrupt the mind of a wanderer and force them to join you. You lose your memory and become whatever the sorcerer pleases you to be. But there is a way to revert that spell and that is by killing the sorcerer. It's the only way. - She clears her throat- mmm now, as for the elves. My ex-husband was an elf. But they are pretty kind ... Please I was just being ignorant back there. All races on World have their beauty and their disgrace.

(A bat flies down and turns into a handsome young man, dressed in a gothic Tux)

James: - Smiles- Hello beautiful Women, I am James and I shall be your waiter. What do your taste buds desire for?

Arabella: 'Well, that is very interesting. Thank you for the information, and hello James. Is this like a restaurant, where I can ask for anything? And thank you, you're not bad looking yourself my good sir.' (She says with a wink but keeps looking around in awe of the palace.) 'Oh, um Rose, the statues on the way here glared at me. Should I be worried?'

Rose: Oh no my dear, does statues aren't "statues" Does are our few of many Guards around the Castle. Her highness must always be well protected. They are sentries. Only move into action if there were to be a situation. - She looks at James so he can proceed-

James: - Fixes his collar and smiles- Thank you, Señorita. The feast can be of your liking here. Name the cuisine and our top Chiefs will make it for you, in a snap. - snaps his fingers and present them both with a flower, for Rose, the Afrikan Violet blossom and for Arabella, a Lotus Blossom- So what will your orders be, ladies? - winks at Arabella-

Rose: Oh James, you know my usual. Blood Slug with shrimp of the Mahankun river, cabbage baby and spinach.

Arabella: (With a smirk accepts the flower.) 'Well, how did you know this was my favorite flower? But non the less thank you James. I'll take a cranberry spring salad on a bed of spinach and mushrooms, no meat please. And if there is anything I can do to thank you just say the word.' (She says with a wink towards James. Then she looks at Lucy.) 'Now Lucy, what would you like?'

James: - Nods- I'll keep that in mind. - Looks at Lucy- Now what about you gorgeous?

Lucy: Mmmm I want an Oger Burger with extra Hot sauce and Two Oger patties!!

James: - smiles- You have quite an appetite. Legend sized it is my dear. It will only take me a moment, ladies.

(He turns into a Fruit Bat and heads upward into the ceiling)

Rose: Wow Lucy, today you must've been in the forest or something to be that hungry?

Lucy: Well ... That's how we found Arabella and Joss!

Rose: Joss? Friend of yours Arabella?

Arabella: (Gives a sour look towards Rose.) 'Not even close, Rose. Not even close. He is on the strongly dislike list.'

Rose: Oh dear... My apologize. But did both of you appear together?

Lucy: Yes they did. But I don't know why miss Arabella Dislike him.... I guess it's adult stuff like papa says.

(In that moment, a strange symbol appeared in the wall and a little butterfly appears and flies to where Arabella was. The butterfly poses itself in her forehead and an image of the Great Mother appears before her with a message.)

Great Mother: Dear Arabella and U, may de World give both of you her blessings. I have sent 2 butterflies to let you know that the person by the name Joss is safe and sound in my shop, and it is resting and is in good hands. The shop's name is The Mellow Infusions. If you desire to come, just follow the white butterfly and it will guide you to it. I hope you are both well and may the World's blessings be upon both of you.

(The butterfly began to flap his wings and waits for Arabella's choice.)

Arabella: 'Well, let's just say it's differences in moral code involving murder. And well, I'm glad he's safe, but.......I guess we could go after eating. What do you say girls?'

(After stopping by the hunter offices and picking up the two wanted posters Katherine continues walking)

Katherine: -this is getting a lil heavy... well at least I'm in the park there's a lot of benches nearby-(she start resting on one) -Dammit training with Lucas can be kinda annoying I have to do all the house errands. Well at least I'm traveling a lot. Wonder what he is doing-(her hair change from the root to end in to a grey/silver color she then notice the color in her hair)

Katherine: -all right I love this one- (she takes a deep breath) -ok now past, present and future. Time give sight! (Her eyes start glowing purple and veins start showing in the eyes area)

(she then sees the moment of the grim path the moment when everybody arrives to the capital (her eyes change again to blue and now she see Lucas on the hotel room sleeping, Arabella and Lucy at the castle and Joss fighting at the Mellow infusions and Lucas going to the bank)

Katherine: -really more people that means I need to buy more food- (her eyes start changing again to red all she can see was just black...she then return to her original state her veins return to the original state and hair went back being white)

Katherine: that vision again all I could see was dark... Well no need to worry about that now need to hurry up. Oh (she sees the delivery man and bring everything she bought to him).. Sir thanks and remember the room is on the second floor the 3B...(her hair changes color to blonde)

Katherine: ok it's time to go fast (she went from 0 to 60 mph to get back at the marketplace)

Lucy: Mmm wherever you go, I go sooo...
