As you all know, I'm running errands to earn money already! I have to buy ingredients for making a bread. But I have to be careful, pickpockets are everywhere. If they stole the money, I'm dead. I'm seriously dead!

Now that I've mentioned the word dead, this town looks dead too! There's no bright colors except the sun! I'm feeling hot right now... Why? Because I'm basically wearing a cloak and a mask. Cailyn also told me to keep the hood on to prevent from exposing myself. Since you know, some people will try to get suspicious because they never seen me before.

But that's not the only thing.

The main reason is it's because that this town has only dull colors, black, grey, silver, brown. They disliked having bright colors! Except the sun, of course... And that's a MAIN problem for me because my hair and eye color are both BLUE. There's also a law stating that if you have any bright colors, you'll be immediately killed. Wow... That's one good law!

Anyway, back to the point! I was walking towards the market and I saw plenty of people! That's normal. But this is also a dangerous place to lose something. Remember, there's a lot of shit going on! I have the dual sword Cailyn gave to me,

But I have no idea how to use them...

How stupid can I get?

Maybe Valerio can teach me how to wield these two swords...

Blah blah, let's get back to the point... AGAIN. I was going to buy flour from a merchant until someone tried to lift up the cloak and stole the money!

"Hey!" I shouted. I saw the pickpocket running away from me. For Wyneria's sake I really need to watch my back! I started to chase the thief, causing myself to shove people, and of course,

Getting the attention of the guards... Please Wyneria don't let them think I'm doing something and help me catch that asshole!

I ignored the guards, who were starting to chase me from behind, and kept on following the thief! I didn't care what those civilians say to me as I shove them! Because there's only one target I'm after, and that target is the guy over there...

Climbing a building..

Shit...

This cloak is seriously getting to my nerves! It's slowing me down! But I can't leave it here! As I ran to the streets, obviously following the pickpocket on the ground, I grabbed the cloak clasp, push aside the opening of the cloak, put them in the back with both hands, wrapped it around my neck, and placed the cloak clasp vertically. Because why the fuck not?

I'm not even realizing I'm starting to swear a lot! I mean, seriously!

That guy over there, jumping building to building, where is he going? Nevermind that, I have to catch up, or else I won't ever see him again! Shoving all the people out of my way, I have to keep my balance from falling! But then the most annoying thing happened.

A dead end.

I sighed and bumped my head on the wall. I slammed my fist at the wall, angered.

Until time stopped...

What the fu-? I-I can't move! But my mind is alright?! Wh-what?!

"Ah, ah, ah!" It's disembodied voice again. It sounds like he or she smirking, "I won't let you lose the money, you know?"

"You can talk to me without summoning me to the crystal cave?!" I shouted. She can do that?!

"Of course I can silly! But it will drain more energy from me! You see, when I do this, I can talk to you without sending you to the crystal cave! Time will stop of course! But when I send you here, time moves there, but I saved a lot of energy!" It laughed.

"Ruin of the Heart, Sylene~!" It wasn't alone, someone's with her... But who? There's like a thousands of them there! They sounded... creepy...

"Will you shut up about that?! Seriously, it's getting annoying!" I said with an annoyed tone. It's true, I'm getting annoyed by Ruin of the Heart! Even though It helped me find the sign.

"What do you mean by shut up? You don't want to me to tell you about how I managed to do this spell? You said you wanted to know but now you don't, make up your mind!" It said. It's like it didn't say the "Ruin of the Heart" shit!

"Not that! The "Ruin of the Heart" crap!" I said in a 'duh' tone.

"Ruin... of the... Heart...? Sylene, what are you saying? Since when did I mention that?" It sounded confused. It's either it was putting up an act, or it seriously doesn't know, "I never heard of that word! Through all my life I never heard about Ruin of the Heart! Maybe you're hearing something!" It sounded true... Like it never said that... The distorted voice sounds confused, like it NEVER did heard about Ruin of the Heart..

But who did?
