:Narrator: upon hearing the request of her father Stella started to pack a small bag for her travel. Stella looked around her room wondering what to take she then reached out towards her bookshelf pulling out a specific book it looked expensive with a dark green cover and emerald gems encased around it with symbols written around it and in the middle of the books cover was a picture of Stella's mother with long beautiful dark green hair and a simple sentence written on the bottom that says "poison in prominence of beauty" Stella took a moment and gently ran her hand on the book with her eyes closed remembering the fond memories of her mother.

:Stella: I'll show you mother...how strong I will soon become I may sometimes be a pain to deal with but I hope to make you proud...

:Narrator: before Stella realized it the female secretary would be standing there in front of her door giving Stella a slight smile.

:Female secretary: I'm sure she already is proud of you miss Stella you certainly have come along way.

:Narrator: Stella was caught off guard and slightly startled she quickly shoved the book right into her bag as she turned her head looking at the female secretary.

:Stella: h-hey It's not polite to eeves drop you know!

:Female secretary: you're the last person to talk about not eeves dropping miss stella.

:Narrator: Stella sighed and walked over towards her bed and sat down she looked down towards the floor soon closing her eyes.

:Female secretary: hmm what's the matter?

:Stella: this is big...a big deal for me being sent to the heavens flame to help track down some cult weirdo in hopes to prevent a full out war with beings that existed eons ago I want to prove myself and get stronger and show how capable I am not just to father but to myself as well but what if...what if whatever happens I freeze up in a crucial moment and that determines life or death like what father said we have no idea what's to come I can only prepare as far as packing this damn bag am I really ready for something like this?

:Narrator: the female secretary sighed and fixed her glasses as she approached Stella and sat beside her.

:Female secretary: it's true the future of events are uncertain but you can't always prepare for the unknown you prepare for what you already know what will come. Take it one step at a time miss Stella you are not alone in this you will have very competent people by your side in time of need but your weariness is justified having the pressure to hold the name of your father and your mother to never show weakness in this world for enemies will exploit it whenever they get the chance eyes are always on you when you step out into the street and citizens will judge now it will perhaps be more intense considering you will be in the heavens flame some citizens don't take other people from other factions to kindly but I know you are capable of this it may seem scary or hard but once you prevail you come out stronger then you were before not just physically but mentally as well.

:Narrator: Stella opened her eyes while clenching her bag as she listened to what female secretary had to say soon Stella took a breath breathing in and out slowly.

:Stella: thank you...I really did needed to hear that this is pretty dangerous but if I don't want to be left behind I'll just jump in before anyone else!

:Female secretary: if you plan to jump in do so with some sort of plan don't get yourself killed please.

:Stella: haha...i promise you know I never got to know what your name really was after all these years can I finally know it?

:Female secretary: I never told you my true name is that right I suppose in this situation it's fine my name is vasha.

Stella: so that's your whole name I've been calling you miss V but never knew what the v stood for in your actual name vasha huh I like it.

:Female secretary: now back to being professional don't use my full name miss Stella.

:Stella: aww c'mon we were having a precious moment.

:Female secretary: sorry but I'm always on the job.

:Narrator: Stella rolled her eyes and laid back on her bed looking up at the ceiling and soon the female secretary stood up seeing herself out of Stella's room. After some time has passed it was finally time for Stella to head out to the heavens flame she gave her last goodbyes for now to her father and to the female secretary before her whole body turned into a thick misty cloud of green smoke traveling into the air Avalon looked up with his arms crossed and the female secretary held onto some document papers wishing her the best of luck and will keep in frequent contact with her progress. Over at the heavens flame Rachel would be sitting on the floor outside meditating with her legs crossed as blue flames swirled and flickered around her body she took steady breaths feeling the heat within her body increase as she inhaled then cooled down once she exhaled Sarina looked bored out of her mind while watching.

:Sarina: uggh how long are you going to be doing this you've been out here every day for hours meditating.

:Rachel: for as long as I need to since I'm human or once was human I've lived my life on the ground humans weren't meant to fly so learning how to is actually more difficult for me then you think if I want to fly properly I can't just tell my body hey fly as you said before I need to increase or decrease the heat energy I'm currently manipulating the more heat energy I focus on the outside in the air the faster I can fly the more heat I retain within my body the slower I get knowing how to fly all starts with heat control from within and meditation is probably the best way for me to do so.

:Sarina: that's soo boring where's the fun in that id say just blast in the air and learn from the experience within the now.

:Rachel: so you want me to constantly fall out of the damn sky over and over until I get it not everything is so straight forward you know.

:Sarina: would be more entertaining for me and a lot more funny to look at what a missed opportunity besides meditating won't beat hands on experience.

:Rachel: are you serious were you always this impulsive and reckless.

:Sarina: me being reckless got me to be this damn strong and father put me in charge of your training till further notice.

:Rachel: and I'm sure if I followed your said reckless training id probably end up looking like a fool constantly falling from the sky.

:Sarina: this is a pain were you always so damn up tight.

:Rachel: you know you could just go you don't have to keep watch of me like a impulsive babysitter I'm fully capable of taking care of myself I've done so even before coming here.

:Sarina: aww well unfortunately baby sis I'm still in charge of you and as for being the oldest can't have the younger one do as she pleases.

:Narrator: Rachel tried to keep her composer but a slight vein would soon form on the side of her forehead she clenched her fist and slammed her fist down causing blue flames to shoot up a little Rachel then stood up quickly while glaring at sarina.

:Rachel: you know what since you keep interrupting my meditation fine let's try it your way since you're so insistent on it!

:Narrator: soon the ground beneath Rachel's feet started to crack as blue flames continued to swirl around her body Rachel blasted herself up into the air causing the ground to slightly shatter leaving a scorched ring from where she stood sarina would smirk wide holding onto her scythe while tilting her head upwards seeing Rachel skyrocket herself up while Rachel was in the air she swayed from side to side trying to control her movements while remembering to manipulate the heat energy from around herself she closed her eyes as heat waves flows around her body Rachel gradually started to gain control soon the necklace that Rachel still kept on started to glow that was when Sarina spotted a green smoke like mist in the distance Sarina would stand up still with that devilish smirk on her face.

:Stella: it feels like I've been traveling forever I'm starting to get tired I haven't even gotten any sleep yet...

:Narrator: while Stella was traveling in this green mist state her eyes would start to flutter from being tired she tried to keep herself awake that's when she fully opened her eyes she could see Rachel floating in mid air Stella tried to stop but it was already too that's when sarina yelled out to Rachel.

:Sarina: better watch out if you don't want to crash into anything or anyone!

:Rachel: what the hell are you talking about can you please stop talking for a moment I'm trying to focu-

:Narrator: Rachel's words were soon cut off as Stella crashed right into Rachel full force causing both of them to fall from such high up in the air they both crash landed hard with a loud thud as both of them laid side by side groaning from the collision sarina could be heard laughing hysterically from where she stood.

:Sarina: hahahaha!! I tried to warn you but noo

:Rachel: wh-what the hell happened...

:Narrator: Rachel opened her eyes and slowly sat up as did Stella she held her head with her left hand groaning still they both turned towards each other face to face still trying to understand what's happening as both of them stood up.

:Rachel: Stella wh-what are you doing here and seriously crashing right into me...

:Stella: sorry I was getting a bit sleepy from traveling for so long without any sleep a-are you alright?

:Rachel: I'm...fine don't worry about it just didn't expect you to come at all.

:Sarina: I certainly did I felt your heat from miles away.

:Stella: th-that voice sounds familiar damnit my glasses came off I can't find them...

:Narrator: Stella squinted while patting the ground looking for her glasses all she could see was slight blurriness soon Rachel glanced around seeing Stella's glasses were slightly covered up she reached out and grabbed her glasses then handed them over to Stella.

:Rachel: here they were next to me.

:Stella: thanks a ton Rachel.

:Narrator: Stella grabbed her glasses and first cleaned them off before putting them back on soon her vision became more clear and didn't realize she was face to face close up against Rachel. Stella soon slid back and stood up taking notice of sarina she starts to recall everything on the day that sarina stole her mother's amulet.

:Stella: h-hold on your the bitch I was trying to track down for stealing my family's precious amulet that belonged to my mother!!

:Sarina: hahaha guilty! What gonna do something about it?

:Stella: I for damn sure should!!

:Rachel: hold on for a moment I'm sure you didn't come all this way here just to get revenge on sarina even though I'd fully understand if you did I would too actually.

:Stella: right I was sent here on behalf of my father to help you guys in this primordial overseers thing and tracking down modius apparently he is the one leading these cult weirdos.

:Narrator: Stella was to busy talking only focusing her attention on Rachel that's when she averted her eyes to her surroundings as her words became slightly slower she could see the trees, the grass, and practically almost everything else set ablaze in beautiful colors of flames stella backed up taking in the view she then heard a loud beast like noise from above and slowly looked up seeing a giant beast slightly covered in multi colored flames as it swam in the sky.

:Stella: h-holy shit...this is actually the first time I'm seeing this region in daylight it's different at night this is my second time being here first time was when I was tracking her for stealing the amulet now that I'm taking it all in  I can see the heavens flame faction as a region really is as beautiful as some say I thought it was an exaggeration.

:Rachel: yeah the look of it all I never will get tired of it even now...oh right the overseers that's why you're here.

:Stella: yeah so I guess I'll be staying here till this situation is resolved.

:Rachel: o-oh right sure that's fine with me besides it should be more better having someone I'll actually get along with unlike some people...

:Narrator: Rachel slightly glanced back at sarina while Sarina looked back at her she smirked then stuck out her tongue being a tease.

:Sarina: blehh ohh no my feelings are hurt look if you're going to be staying here try to at least not get in my way.

:Stella: yeah yeah whatever try not to steal anything from my bag either.

:Sarina: yeah I can't promise that anyways baby sis show four eyes here around.

:Stella: the hell did you just call me!!

:Narrator: sarina chuckled as she turned around and started to walk soon dark purple flames swirled around her body until her body vanished without a trace.

:Stella: she seems like a pain in the ass to deal with...

:Rachel: trust me I live with her you have no idea anyways I'll show you around inside first I'm sure hellex and marina are looking forward to seeing you.

:Narrator: Stella huffed while dusting her clothes off and soon both started to walk towards the mansion there were guards stationed around the area while the maids and servants greeted Rachel and Stella.

:Stella: wow this is next level fancy I mean my home is fancy too but this is just wow.

:Rachel: it does seem a lot and perhaps overwhelming at first but you'll get used to it.

:Stella: really did you?

:Rachel: no of course not sometimes they stop to talk to me and as you can see I'm not really that sociable so I tend to overthink while trying to speak with some in the end I feel like the awkward one.

:Stella: you seem to talk just fine with me though.

:Rachel: well yeah for starters you don't call me miss Rachel all the time or asking if I need anything throughout the day that just makes me a bit more anxious when speaking to one of them.

:Stella: you have that problem too I swear miss V is always calling me miss Stella I've known her since I was a child it's just too formal and stiff like c'mon.

:Rachel: miss V who's that?

:Stella: oh right you've only seen her once but she's my father's personal assistant.

:Rachel: ohh her she does seem like the highly professional type.

:Narrator: once inside the mansion hellex would be standing there towering over both of them as he greeted Stella.

:Hellex: ahh your finally here welcome to the heavens flame dear Stella!

:Stella: h-hellex sir yes thank you for having me I'll be in your care till further notice!

:Hellex: no need for the formalities hellex is just fine!

:Narrator: hearing all the shouting marina walked in to see what was going on that's when she saw Stella standing in front of the doorway her eyes glowed bright pink and walked towards her greeting her with a soft smile.

:Marina: welcome Stella darling it's so good to finally meet you I've heard a lot about you from Rachel and heard among other things.

:Narrator: marina giggled as bright pink sparkling flames flickered around her body as soon as she made eye contact with Stella, Stella blushed lightly already feeling a sort of ease and comfort as soon as their eyes locked.

:Stella: m-miss marina crap you definitely are beautiful...

:Narrator: Stella quickly covered her mouth while trying not to ramble on.

Marina: such flattery I like this one already you are adorable sweety well please make yourself at home dinner will be prepared shortly until then please show Stella where she will be staying in.

:Rachel: right and where...exactly would that be?

:Marina: why next your room of course.

:Rachel: oh right sure I'll show her now.

:Narrator: Rachel started to walk but before Stella followed she gave a slight bow to hellex and marina they both looked on with a slight smile soon Stella followed behind Rachel looking around as they walked once they reached Rachel's room she pointed to the left signaling that would be the room Stella would be staying in but as soon as Rachel opened the door to her room the hellhound ran passed her and jumped right onto Stella which caused her to fall back she could feel the hellhound licking her across the face leaving blue streaks of saliva that sizzled in warmth.

:Stella: wh-what the hell you have a dog!?

:Rachel: not really a dog but a hellhound sorry it's always so damn hyper and hard to control.

:Narrator: Rachel quickly grabbed onto the hound pulling it off of Stella as the hound barked blue flaming sparks Stella slowly stood up and wiped her face.

:Stella: oh that's the hound I heard about between the conversation between my father and mister hellex what's it's name?

:Rachel: name? Oh right I uhh didn't give one to it yet I'm not really experienced with animals.

:Stella: well that's no good you need to think of a name for it soon.

:Narrator: Stella smiled and extended her hand to rub the hounds head once she was done she grabbed onto her bag and opened the door to the room she would be staying in Stella placed her bag down and sat on the bed soon laying down as the time passed it was finally ready for dinner Rachel slightly knocked on Stella's door but heard no answer.

:Rachel: are...you asleep in there?

:Narrator: Rachel slowly opened the door seeing Stella passed out on the bed sleeping soundly Rachel approached her with slight caution and lightly tapped her until Stella had finally woken up.

:Rachel: sorry for waking you it's just dinner is done and hellex was wondering if you'd be joining.

:Stella: o-oh yeah I'll absolutely join.

:Narrator: Stella slowly sat up and rubbed her eyes while fixing her glasses before she stood up and followed Rachel out to the dinning room seeing a slightly long table with plated food stretched down Stella's eyes shined light green and soon slowly sat down next to Rachel she looked forward to see sarina sitting across from her sarina smirked and gave a little wave before stabbing into her plate stabbing a huge chunk of beef soon ripping it to shreds with her sharp teeth.

:Stella: wow this is a lot even for someone like me.

:Marina: extra was made since your arrival was announced please eat as much as you like.

:Hellex: that's right no need to hold back I hope it's to your liking!

:Narrator: Stella looked around then glanced to the side seeing Rachel starting to eat with her eyes closed and soon Stella followed short eating as well and immediately she was hit with wonderful flavor.

:Stella: it definitely is to my liking everything is really good!

:Marina: I'm glad you seem to be enjoying yourself I helped out with a few dishes myself.

:Hellex: alright we all know the current situation that is rising with those primordial overseers we will discuss that situation tomorrow but as for tonight everyone have your fill.

:Narrator: as the night continued on while everyone was still eating and talking amongst each other Rachel glanced down to see the hellhound sitting right beside her feet and wagging its tail Rachel soon sighed and placed a nice big chunk of meat down as the hound immediately started to chew on it chewing it down once dinner was coming to an end Rachel stood up and turned over looking right at Stella.

:Rachel: there's something I'd like to show you please follow me.

:Stella: show me something? Sure I don't mind.

:Narrator: Rachel would soon leave the dining room and walk out of the front door as Stella followed behind her that's when blue flames slowly started to swirl around her body and floated upwards floating all the way to the top of the mansion at such a high spot Rachel motioned her hand to Stella to join her that's when Stella jumped from platform to platform until she reached the top of the mansion she then took a seat right next to Rachel.

:Rachel: it should start at any moment now.

:Stella: what's starting? now you've peaked my interest.

:Rachel: just look up at the sky...

:Narrator: Stella slowly looked up as Rachel pointed her finger out towards the sky and soon a rain shower of mult colored flaming comets ranging from green, pink, purple, and blue all started to fly past from hundreds to thousands leaving a blazing colorful trail the flaming comets lit up the sky along with the dazzling stars that were already in view and soon Rachel started to relax herself leaning back while watching all the while Stella looked in aw from such a mesmerizing sight.

:Rachel: this is what I wanted to show you every night right around when dinner is over with I come out here to watch this i figured you should experience this as well seeing something like this always brings me comfort surprisingly.

:Stella: I'm glad you did back home something like this never happens as you know the air is just a thick cloud of green mist so it's hard to see any stars let alone a shower of dazzling comets it really is beautiful...

:Narrator: Rachel had her focus on the comet shower as her eyes glowed bright blue while her flames flickered, sparking in the process Stella soon glanced towards Rachel's direction as her face slightly turned red.

:Stella: i-um see you're still wearing the necklace I gave you and it's still in good condition.

:Rachel: of course...it was a token of friendship after all so I never took it off and to be honest with you Stella you are perhaps the first friend I had genuinely which is an odd feeling and I'm still not sure how to feel about that...back on earth I never had friends people actually went out of there way to avoid me so speaking to people had always been difficult being treated poorly by people just made me more cautious and not really trust in anyone to quickly but ever since I came here id like to try and change some of that at least try to be a better version of myself then I once was.

:Stella: I understand the feeling of not really having anyone be there for you who aren't parents I deal in poison and every other kind of toxins so obviously people were naturally uneasy around me or didn't even want to get close to me but you have my word I'll be there for you whenever you need on the battlefield or off or just to hang out and for those who avoided you really missed out because your one of the most badass people I've met so far.

:Narrator: Rachel gave a faint smile soon putting her attention back at the seemingly endless shower of flaming comets that painted the sky in a variety of colors and Stella sat back to watch as well having this night coming to an end and this first day into the Phoenix den.
