:narrator: as time passed hellex continued to speak with Rachel about the history and origin of the crimson red flames and soon after Stella slowly opened the door walking back inside.

:Stella: is...everything alright since you wanted to speak to Rachel privately I assume it was something personal.

:Hellex: fear not I was only giving her a quick history lesson that's all but it is indeed something that should not be spoken about so casually apologies Stella for making you wait.

:Stella: it's fine don't worry about it I understand anyways I guess you guys are heading back home soon right.

:Hellex: that is correct though it's going to take another 3 days to get back.

:Stella: seriously that long? It only took me a few hours to get from here to your region although how we can travel is different we can turn ourselves into a misty cloud of green smoke for faster traveling.

:Hellex: ahh interesting how very convenient your people truly are talented.

:Narrator: Rachel slowly stood up from where she laid feeling her body still tingly even after what has transpired she looked at her own hands clenching and opening her palms feeling the sensation of heat run along within her Stella looked on and moved over towards Rachel's direction lightly punching the side of her shoulder rachel glanced to the side only nudging her body from the playful hit.

:Stella: great fight against my father I gotta say you are pretty damn strong I've never seen my father get hit with that kind of force even damaged his precious mask haha you're only going to grow even stronger from here and so will I im not gonna let you outshine me but I do expect a friendly match against you to see how far we've improved in the future still need to pay you back for that kick to the ribs you did on me.

:Rachel: I suppose that's a promise then I look forward to it though don't expect me to go easy on you.

:Stella: same here and I wouldn't have it any other way! Oh right before you leave I got you something just a token of our friendship it's nothing much.

:Narrator: Stella gave Rachel a slight smirk as she reached into her back pocket pulling out what seemed to be a necklace having a circular green dragon as the design was completely made of dark green jade while the chain was made of pure gold.

:Stella: this necklace is for good fortune and it's one of my favorites but I want you to have it besides it's kinda special whenever that necklace glows just know im near.

:Rachel: are...are you sure you want me to have something like this you know where I'm from originally it's not really common to have someone give something this expensive looking just for a sign of friendship.

:Stella: it's fine really I believe it'll be in good hands just take care of it alright and regardless I'm willing to bet it looks just as good on you too.

:Narrator: Rachel paused for a moment to fully take in the comment she just said Rachel cleared her throat while closing her eyes seemingly to compose herself she then reached for the necklace and held onto it as she gave it quite a long look before she finally placed it around her neck.

:Stella: like I said if I was betting I'd definitely be the winner right now.

:Rachel: I'll accept it thank you and I will definitely take care of it.

:Hellex: burning passion just like I said.

:Rachel: burning passion? What are you talking about.

:Hellex: it's nothing well we should be on our way thank you Stella for such a lovely gift.

:Stella: right right sorry um hellex sir anyways I'll see you next time Rachel.

:Narrator: Rachel gave a slight nod to Stella before she walked out of the room with hellex and soon was greeted by avalon's female secretary once again.

:Female secretary: good evening too the both of you your carrage is waiting right outside I hope your time here was enjoyable sir hellex.

:Hellex: I did indeed and where is Avalon if I may ask.

:Female secretary: he is still handling some business so he's quite busy I'm sorry on his behalf he wasn't able to see you off.

:Hellex: that's alright just send him my regards and for being a grand host.

:Female secretary: will do sir.

:Narrator: the female secretary closed her eyes and slightly bowed her head while seeing Rachel and hellex off she opened her eyes and slightly adjusted her glasses before walking back. While inside Rachel sat back in her seat still looking at the necklace Stella had given to her.

:Hellex: it does suit you well hmm...how are you feeling I know that sudden shift with the crimson flames was triggered by a near death experience but it's also triggered emotionally.

:Rachel: now that you mentioned it while being trapped inside that poisonous bubble the pain was excruciating but familiar...a burning sensation ironically it reminded me about that day when they died.

:hellex: would you like to talk about it if you're comfortable with it that is.

:Narrator: Rachel sighed to herself and soon closed her eyes to think then nodded while trying to recall what happened.

:Rachel: it was 4 years ago I had just turned 12 it was my birthday I'm not exactly sure how it happened there was a birthday cake I made a wish just like anyone would when blowing out a candle on there birthday I didn't think anything of it at the time when it was time for bed everything was fine until I woke up to a loud boom inside the house I ran out of my room to see what happened all I saw was fire the living room engulfed...my parents were struggling from the debris both of them were trapped underneath I tried pulling off every piece that I could but it was to heavy the smoke...there blood on my hands...the burning sensation was to much they both looked at me in the eyes and said they loved me and before I passed out I could have sworn for a moment the fire turned black and the black fire had hands and covered my parents mouths then after that everything went dark last thing I know I'm being carried out by firemen said it was a miracle I survived something like that ever since then I've practically been on my own.

:Narrator: Rachel clenched her fist with her eyes closed trying to remember any remaining details and that's when she felt a slight sharp pain in her head causing her to quickly place her hand on her head.

:Hellex: easy don't push yourself...I can't imagine how you must feel at such a young age witnessing and experiencing something that traumatic how is it that your so comfortable around fire.

:Rachel: to face your fear one must do it head on no matter how many times in my case when it came to fire...let's just say I became too accustomed to being burned...I'm sorry but I feel a bit tired let me know when we return.

:Narrator: soon after Rachel closed her eyes and immediately fell asleep hellex looked on with his arms crossed as he started to think.

:Hellex: black fire she says could she have been hallucinating or is it something more to what she saw.

:Narrator: 3 days have passed since Rachel and hellex left the poisonous nox region and still Rachel seemed to still be asleep once they had finally returned she opened her eyes noticing that the carriage had stopped.

:Hellex: oh good your finally awake truth be told you've been sleeping for 3 days straight I didn't want to wake you so I just let you sleep how are you feeling?

:Rachel: I've been asleep for that long it only felt like a few hours to me and I'm feeling much better than before.

:Hellex: that's great to hear now if you're feeling hungry then.

:Narrator: as soon as hellex was about to speak marina opened the front door with such quickness she dashed towards them leaving a trail of sparkling pink flames behind her quickly embracing both in her arms and soon started to check around Rachel's body examining her.

:Marina: are you both alright a few days ago we saw the sky turn red for a moment and felt massive amount of heat energy coming from the poisonous nox region! and assume that sudden burst came from you.

:Rachel: y-yes yes I'm fine right now I was sparring against Avalon there leader.

:Marina: you what!...dear husband mind telling me what happened during that fight because if im not mistaken she was in a near death experience for that to happen.

:Narrator: marina closed her eyes giving a slow smile as she turned her head towards hellex as pink flames twisted around her body hellex started to chuckle nervously knowing if he doesn't explain to her now he will most definitely feel her wrath.

:Hellex: u-uhh you see dear...haha...Rachel please give us a moment so I can explain to her.

:Marina: ohh yes please do explain why I'd love to hear this...Rachel dear we are going to have a nice lovely conversation in the meantime please wait.

:Narrator: marina opened her eyes they started to glow bright pink looking into hellex's eyes she quickly grabbed onto his ear as they both vanished in bright pink flames leaving sparkling pink flaming butterflies behind.

:Rachel: I'm not sure if their conversation will exactly be lovely...

:Sarina: it sure as hell won't be pretty father better have a good explanation to give.

:Narrator: Rachel looked around hearing sarina speak she was unable to detect where she was until sarina appeared in front of Rachel getting real up close as blackish purple flames flickered around her body sarina pressed her fingers against Rachel's necklace she gave a sinister smile her sharpened teeth were very much noticable.

:Sarina: long time no see where'd you get this necklace from looks pretty damn expensive.

:Narrator: Rachel glanced down and immediately backed up from sarina then placed her hand onto her necklace as she spoke.

:Rachel: it was given to me not that it's any of your business.

:Sarina: aww that's cold baby sis so what's your deal huh you seem to be packing some serious heat to exert that much energy from all the way over at the poisonous nox you must think you're pretty damn strong don't you just remember I'm born by blood you were merely taken in.

:Rachel: the hell is your problem ever since I got here it's obvious you don't like me all that much.

:Sarina: oh really? How'd you come up with that conclusion.

:Rachel: ohh I don't know maybe it's the fact Everytime I'm near you I can literally smell and feel your malice intent or how about the fact you call me some kind of pet or stray yes I can hear you if you really have some kind of problem with me then settle it with me because this fake sister love crap you say is pretty weak for you.

:Sarina: you know you got one hell of a mouth on you I'm far beyond your kind of strength I don't need some cracked up star to fuse with my soul to become powerful my strength came from me and me alone and I'll be damned to have some stray in smart ass think she can ever be above me.

:Rachel: ohh...so that's your problem I understand now.

:Narrator: Rachel closed her eyes and leaned forward speaking right into Sarina's ear.

:Rachel: you know for someone that literally smells like death trying to invoke fear you must be pretty damn fearful yourself fearing that somebody new has come in thinking your spot is going to be taken right underneath you replacing you as their daughter is that it...sister.

:Narrator: Sarina's eyes widened a bit from hearing Rachel's words getting subtle flashbacks of her childhood then black purple flames swirled wildly around her body scorching the ground as anger would take over her and soon out of nowhere Sarina grabbed onto Rachel's neck blasting each other into the air into the distance as sarina started to shout.

:Sarina: you don't know a damn thing about me!! I've had enough of you and that mouth of yours you think just because some shit star chose you!! You think you can speak to me anyway you like I'll show you the vast difference between power and strength I worked for my entire life to a mere cheat that simply gave them to you don't worry sis I'll teach you not in words but through pain only then will your smart ass finally learn that I am the only daughter that is worthy!!

:Narrator: Rachel gripped onto Sarina's wrist with both hands trying to pry her grip off from around her neck only to realize her grip stayed firmed around Rachel's neck as they both traveled far in the air wind would burst out around them multiple times from the speed they were traveling they were indeed breaking the sound barrier.

:Rachel: this chick is crazy!! And her grip strength I can't...budge she's dead set on beating me...

:Narrator: Rachel could feel her grip becoming tighter as the moment passes she closed her left eye and propelled her body upwards aiming for a side kick to the right side of Sarina's head just as Rachel was about to make contact sarina blocked her incoming kick with her other arm as blue flames explodes out causing a sonic boom to create sarina slowly grabbed onto Rachel's leg and threw her straight down onto the ground once Rachel's body landed hard it created a rather large crater Rachel coughed groaning lightly as she took her time to stand up.

:Sarina: Oh man I sure did feel that my arm is a little tingly since you're so quick with that mouth of yours you better be strong enough to back it up hahaha!!

:Rachel: crazy or not she is pretty damn strong...fine I'll show you I'm not some push over.

:Narrator: Rachel slowly looked up to see that Sarina had vanished then Rachel looked forward and all of a sudden sarina appeared right in front of her holding onto her scythe Sarina swiftly slashes towards Rachel and just in time Rachel's body reacted on instinct and slid her head back then slid herself all the way back only being slightly slashed across her cheek as blue blood slowly trickled down her cheek then a loud burst followed up seemingly as the slash passed her and slashed through multiple mountains that was behind Rachel. The ground had a deep slash mark traveling from where Rachel stood all the way from behind her leaving the ground cut and scorched in blackish purple flames Rachel slowly pressed her fingers against her cheek feeling the blood run down.

:Sarina: your reflexes aren't bad maybe beating you down will be more enjoyable!!

:Rachel: just like what I said to Avalon... beating me won't come easy I'm not weak not in the slightest.

:Sarina: well please do dear sister let's see what you can do!!

:Narrator: Rachel's eyes glowed bright blue while Sarina's eyes glowed dark purple as blue flames swirled around Rachel's body she breathed out heated steam the heat pressure between the two was definitely intense Rachel slowly placed her hands up getting into some sort of a fight stance then within a flash sarina immediately traveled towards her leaving a trail of scorched burns on the ground with incredible speed sarina slashed at Rachel multiple times only for Rachel to dodge every slash just by an inch and on the last attempted slash Rachel kicked flipped Sarina's scythe right into the air Rachel saw an opening and clenched her fight driving her fist right into the center of Sarina's body the ground beneath them cracks and shatters as heated winds explodes out wildly the blow connected as the punch drives sarina back sarina then used her hand to slow herself down sarina grits her teeth feeling the strength behind that blow.

:Rachel: I was given a gift by the star but you're not the only one that's working hard to continue to grow their strength talented or not everyday since I've gotten here I've been working on my strength constantly improving!

:Sarina: tch I trained my entire life to achieve the strength I have while you gained it within a span of a few months don't talk shit to me about working hard I was born for this!! You were simply brought into it!!

:Narrator: sarina yelled at her as her flames twisted and swirled wildly sarina glanced up to see her scythe still in the air then Sarina's body vanished as she ended up in the air grabbing onto her scythe and threw her scythe down towards Rachel. Rachel then slid back as the scythe crashed into the ground all of a sudden sarina appeared right where her scythe was and grabbed onto it quickly slashing side ways cutting Rachel across her stomach Rachel jumped into the air twisting her body and delivering a kick from above only for sarina to block the kick with both arms this impact created massive heat pulses practically burning anything around them to ash the mix of blue flames and dark purple flames collided with one another in this intense battle. All of a sudden blue flaming chains would burst out from underneath the ground wrapping around Sarina's throat Sarina's eyes widened as she felt the burning sensation of the chains they quickly yanked sarina back once Rachel dropped down onto the ground she grabbed onto the flaming chain and quickly pulled it back causing the flaming chains to come back towards her and soon sarina was pulled back traveling towards Rachel's direction and punched sarina on the right side of her face causing a heated explosion to erupt.

:Rachel: still think beating me will bring you joy!! I told you I'm not a push over!!

:Narrator: sarina grunted from the impact of the punch but still she slowly pushed her head towards Rachel as a trickle of purple blood ran down the side of Sarina's lip she smiled widely and licked her own blood then started to laugh uncontrollably she gripped onto the chains that wrapped around her neck the blue chains would start to turn into a more blackish color until the chains were completely black sarina continued to pull until the chains broke from around her neck letting her land onto the ground.

:Sarina: I'll give it to ya baby sis you certainly aren't a push over the more this fight continues the more fun it's getting I was so damn bored the conflict between every faction is boiling but nothing to the breaking point finally being able to cut back and let loose against someone who won't straight up die hahaha it's exhilarating!!

:Rachel: your insane that's what you want to cure your boredom because nobody has the strength to stand toe to toe against you.

:Sarina: your damn right it's not like I can challenge my parents anytime I like maybe having a sister won't be so bad but still your far too early eclipse me in strength or replace me your still just a stray!!

:Narrator: Sarina's body vanishes in black purple flames as she could now be seen floating high in the air she kept that wide sinister smile on her face as she slowly raised her finger high in the air and soon a small blackish purple flame was created on the tip of her finger until it started to grow in size growing bigger and bigger completely over shadowing Rachel as if she was directly starring at as sun her eyes widened and soon clenched her fist.

:Sarina: improve all you want but let's see how you handle something like this!!

:Rachel: if that's how you want it then bring it...I'll meet it head on and show you I belong here!

:Narrator: sarina smirked and slowly pointed her finger down towards Rachel as Sarina's blackish purple sun slowly traveled towards her Rachel could feel the intense heat and energy pressure coming from it already Rachel's eyes glowed bright blue and placed her hands outwards as soon as the sun made contact it drives Rachel down into the ground immediately creating a deeper and deeper crater Rachel slowly started to push against but the harder she pushed against it the heavier the sun weighed down on her it was then more blue flaming chains wrapped around the sun Rachel breathed out slowly feeling the strain building up from within her body and soon the sun would form light blue colored spots within it one by one Rachel continued to push against it her eyes slowly shifted from a bright blue to a dark crimson red color it was at this moment when the sun turned completely blue soon feeling the suns weight was getting lighter she yelled out as the sun bursts out in blue flaming particles raining down Sarina was shocked completely and in that moment Rachel blasted herself up towards sarina with her fist clenched Sarina clenched her own fist as well and traveled down towards Rachel as both threw a punch which ended up having both of the two sisters punch each other in the face at the same time the force of Sarina's punch made Rachel close her left eye while the force of Rachel's punch made sarina close her right eye this collision caused blue and black purple sparks to form around the two as a loud shockwave could be heard and felt all the way back at the mansion and all across the city both sarina and Rachel grunted as blood ran down both of there faces while they looked at each other in there opened eye finally both sister's dropped onto the ground at the same time landing and laying right next to each other.
