(The next morning)

(After weeks of Katherine's examinations, she was able to get approved by Lucas and able go on higher level area. Later they both prepare to leave the capital.)

Lucas: Well Katherine since you pass all of my exam you get to decide where we are going now but we better buy food and items first

Katherine: YAY! finally and let's start on the weapon smith.

(The group divides: Merlin went to the university; Joss and the girl went to the smith and Anastacya and Shion went to the market.)

Joss: So, what's your name?

Girl: I...I don't have one...

Joss: And your family?

Girl: I don't...

(Joss walks in silence for a moment)

Joss: Vita.

Girl: What?

Joss: Vita. Do you like that name? It means life in Italian.

(The girl blushes)

Girl: Vita...it sounds nice...

Joss: Then, I will call you that from now on.

Girl: But such a cute name...for me?

Joss: You saved me after all. That's what you gave me.

(She lowers her red face, and both arrived at the armory/smith)

Joss: Since we are going on a long adventure, you will need some way to defend yourself.

(He looks around and finds a little sword and shield.)

Joss: I will buy this.

Smith: Ok!

(Joss pays and leaves the store. Then he gives the weapons to Vita)

Joss: This will save your life from now on. I will help you practice, so you can survive.

Vita: Yes Master!

(Joss looks up to the sky)

Joss: Again, with the master thing...

(Joss catches a glimpse of Lucas and went towards him)

Joss: Lucas! How you've been?? I haven't seen you since forever!

(Vita follows Joss silently)

Lucas: Joss oh hi I have been great and you? Well I see you gotten stronger (he then noticed Vita) and who may that be?

Joss: Yeah! I have been doing some training! And this little fellow is called Vita.

(She hides behind him)

Lucas: I see indeed you have...and nice to meet you Vita ... So, Joss what you doing on the smith?

Joss: Well, I was buying some weapons for her since we are going to the south with my teacher. Hey, if you aren't doing something, care to join us? At least you are NOT like Arabella. (He cracks a big smile)

Lucas: Hahaha! Well I would gladly go but that ain't my decision to make. You see, its Katherine who has to decide 'cause this would be here journey. Why don't you ask her?

Joss: Katherine? Who is that?

(Says without noticing her)

Lucas: Wait... you never met her, didn't you? Well she's my pupil I have been teaching her for a time now. Mmmm... well she is inside the shop.

Joss: Oh, I must meet her!

(He rushes in but then he realizes he doesn't know her aspect. Then he calls her)

Joss: Is there a Katherine here?

(Katherine the appear from the other side of the store.)

Katherine: That would be me!

Lucas: Hey Katherine did you met Joss?

Katherine: Well yes and no. I saw him in the vision with you and other on Grim Path. But nice to meet you I'm Katherine the moon Rabbit or at least that what he calls me (she the extend her arm.)

(Joss extends his hand)

(Arabella and Legion take two hours to go shopping for clothes and take a couple of minutes to do some storage scrolls. Then they walk to where Merlin told them she would be.)

Joss: Pleased to meet you! You look like someone that can pack a punch. (He smiles) I was telling Lucas that I'm going to the south in an adventure and I was asking if you two wanted to come. There is other people and an incredible mage among us. But that is, of course if you want to.

(Katherine looked at Joss with star in her eyes then looks at Lucas back on Joss and the Lucas again)

Lucas: Don't look at me.. are you gonna decide or what?

(At that moment the smith arrived with two large crate and two smaller ones)

Smith: well Lucas here there are the 2 set of armor and the 3 set of weapons plus you're new arm

Lucas: Thanks a lot... Hey Katherine decide already ..I'm going to pay for this.

Katherine: Then yes!!! We would gladly go with you all!!! (Says with a big smile on her face)

Joss: Yes! Then we must wait for my teacher on the outskirts. They must be waiting for us by now.

(The whole gang moved to the entrance)

(Shion and Anastacya arrived at the market and began to buy food and supplies for the rest of the team.)

Anastacya: Do you think this will end up well?

Shion: Thanks for the food. (He hands the money and turns to Anastacya) I don't really know. All I can say is that if he wanted, he could've killed us a long time ago. For that reason, I didn't do anything. Besides, as you said, he is a man with a child mind.

(Shion and Anastacya finished their chores and headed to the outskirts.)

Shion: Now we wait.

Anastacya: This is going to be boring. Say, can you find those raspberries that Malfestio likes?

Shion: I think so. There are some trees nearby. I will go and collect some for us.

Anastacya: Be careful!

Shion: Yeah yeah.

(While the rest of the team handed themselves, Merlin arrives, once again at the university and she is welcomed by Malfestio)

Malfestio: Merlin!!!!!

Merlin: Oh, Malfestio!

(He hugs her tightly)

Merlin: How are you?

Malfestio: I'm A-ok! Arabella really is a good person. She feeds me and gives me raspberries and let me sleep everywhere!

(He turns her head away and begins to whistle)

Merlin: We will talk that later. I'm here for other business.

Malfestio: Are you here to see her?

Merlin: No. I'm here to find something important.

(They both go inside)

(Once inside, Merlin is received by a mage in a cloaked rob)

Mage: Master Merlin, it's good to see you again.

Merlin: Thanks. I'm here to retrieve it.

Mage: Wha- are you sure?

(Merlin glares)

Mage: Sorry, forgive my rudeness. Follow me then.

(They walk until they are in a dead-end. The mage chants some words and from the wall, an elf comes out.)

Elf: Master Merlin.

Merlin: Cartyphalus. I'm here to reclaim it.

Cartyphalus: Sure, come in.

(Once inside, giant stairs appear. They went down until they find a door.)

Cartyphalus: Your key Ma'am.

(She makes a little cut in one of her fingers and he takes it.)

Cartyphalus: Received. Grand Meister Merlin. You can go inside.

(A door comes in sight and Merlin walks in. Inside, there is a magnificent library filled with millions of books and staves. There was a forest and some creatures in it. She takes a deep breath and smiles.)

Merlin: I'm back.

(She walks to a little box in the center and opens it. Inside there was a black flask. She grabs it.)

Merlin: I'm so sorry Leopold. I will break my promise once again.

(Some tears rolled down and she wipes them. She takes a last sight of the library and leaves. Outside is Cartyphalus.)

Merlin: Cartyphalus, the next person who comes to this place with my key, give it the authority to own everything inside this door.

Cartyphalus: But Master Merlin--

(She gives him a soft look)

Cartyphalus: It's been a pleasure serving such a magnificent mage!

Merlin: It was an honor been in your care.

(She exits the wall and kept her walking)

(At the University, Legion walks into the office)

Legion: Miss Arabella, how are you feeling today?

(Arabella wakes up, (At the University, Legion walks into the office)

Legion: Miss Arabella, how are you feeling today? but feels a splitting headache. Then she looks around for the voice that asked and slowly starts getting up.)

Arabella: 'Well, a slight headache, but otherwise alright. Now, what exactly is the mighty Lancer Legion doing in my humble abode? Paarthurnax mentioned that I would have a very powerful guard, but I wasn't expecting you.'

Legion: No one is to expect it. I'm not supposed to be away from the unite. But even us Lancers break rules. I just needed someone strong enough to release me.

(Turns into Arthur)

I am Arthur, 3rd son of the king of the west, fallen in war and reborn in this vessel.

(Turns into Donna)

I am Donna, Brutus legend of the northern snowhills. Fallen by the Fair combat against my sister, Tanya. Pleased to serve you.

(Legion bows)

Arabella: (Gets up from her desk and walks up to Legion.)

'It is a pleasure to have you in my service. You are definitely a strong guardian. Will you be following me around until further notice? Because I have some business in the Academy's Library.'

Legion: Yes, but as my individual forms. Whichever you prefer - smiles- Plus I am getting tired of this Lancer helmet.

Arabella: 'Well, how about this. For now, I'll be fine with Arthur. Tomorrow with Donna, then you decide which form makes you more comfortable. Although, we can't have you walking around with less protection, so how about this. After we go to the library to get my reference material, we go to the magical apparel shop and get you an enchanted hat or shawl.'

Legion: - Turns into Arthur- I guess they haven't told you how I brought you here -laughs- The armor wasn't my protection. It was only my apparel. So, don't worry, I'll set out for out fits but no need for armor.

Arabella: 'No. Nobody has told me yet how I might've gotten back but let me tell you. That was a very harrowing experience. So many memories to sift through. About the outfits, no need to worry about payment. The university will cover it. Now let us get on our way to that library.'

Legion: Then let's be on our way.

(Taps Arabella shoulder and a bright coat of shield shines all over her body and then turns clear. Legion opens the door.)

Arabella: 'Huh. So that's how you protect yourself. Someday you shall have to explain how this shield works. Very interesting......but anyways, thank you.'

(Then she continues, walking and talking, until she and Legion get to the warp pad for the library, and continue walking and talking until they get to the double doors of their destination.)
