"Please, don't do this dear!!"

"Let go of me!!"

The sound of two couples, fighting each other while in the living room in the middle of the blind night. In the room, a girl hides under the table, crying fearfully. Suddenly the door harshly knocks like it's about to break down. The voice is getting louder. Her appearance slowly changes, as is her hair color and eye color.

Turns out to be a nightmare for Lisa, as she rapidly wakes up, takes a deep heavy breath, and wipes her sweat over her forehead. "Forgive me, Lord," she said.

Outside of the tent, Amelia performed her training by doing push-ups. Hinata however sits next to Amelia, studying her studies and research. "A babysitter being so athletic? Isn't that too odd for an average babysitter?" Hinata said.

"Have you ever carried a heavy child before?"

"No,"

"If you want to carry a big child or big things, then exercise is a must."

After Amelia finished her workout, she said, "Where do you think he is heading?"

"Who?" Amelia said.

"Papa. He didn't answer my call at all."

"Just because he knows your tactics."

"I just want to help him," Amelia with a dissatisfied tone.

"Amelia? Hinata? C'mon let's move on," said Melania, their aunt.

As they are about to stand up, Mika arrives at them. "Guys, let me show you something," she said.

------------------------------------π-----------------------------------

As they arrived at the beach, Hinata was fascinated by the beauty of nature. "Mika, you made my dreams come true," Hinata said.

"What do you mean?"

"She never saw a beach before," Amelia said. Hinata's eye becomes teary like an ocean, dripping down to her cheeks. She never saw a beach before in her life.

"So you mean she's been behind walls all day?"

"Not always. She sometimes goes out hunting in the forest, rides a horse, and spars with me, but doesn't have a chance to see this," Amelia said.

"Well good for her."

Not long after that, as Hinata enjoys the beach, Amelia saw something suspicious. A horn is like a spear in the middle of the sea. "Hinata, better go back to us," She said.

If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.

"Why? I'm just getting started." Suddenly, Hinata got dragged into the ocean by a creature. Amelia freaks out and immediately goes for her sister, as Mika pulls her arm and she goes in instead.

"Mika!!!" Amelia screamed. Then, Satoshi hugs her and drags her away from the water. A few minutes after Mika comes out, carrying Hinata unconsciously.

"RUN!!!" Mika said as the large lion-like beast, almost looked like Cthulhu appears. Then, the sea guardians spawned and attacked them. Amelia pulls her blade and in a single swing, hundreds of sea guardians' bodies are shattered, heads are rolled and blood spilled. But that's not enough to defeat them as another hundred are coming for them.

------------------------------------π-----------------------------------

"Where are those girls?" said Melania.

"You asking me?" Elyssa said.

"No. I'm asking Lisa."

"MAMA!!!"

Amelia and Hinata quickly hug their mother, Lisa as they're trembling in fear. "What's going on?" Lisa said.

"Shogot..." said Mika. Amelia stares into Mika's eyes. Something changes. "Shogot is revealing himself."

"Mika, your eyes," Amelia said.

"My eyes?"

As she looks at the reflection of her knife, she grins. "It's fine. I was using contact lenses," she said. Her stunning blue eyes made Amelia concerned.

She checked her eyes and what she got is a very natural eye color. Then, Mika starts laughing at her. "Huh?" Amelia with her hollow face.

"Actually, you can change your eye color,"

Amelia still kept herself silent in confusion. "We have no time now. We have to go!! (Sign Language)" said Satoshi as he sensed something in the forest.

"DRAUGR!!!" Hinata screams as she hates them.

"CALL PAPA NOW!!!" said Mika. Unconsciously, she turns her head, flickers her finger to the group of Draugr, and her vision is blinded by the light. As it fades, they disappear.

------------------------------------π-----------------------------------

"Isn't that too risky, dear?" said Amelie Queen.

"I bet it wasn't but could someone else," Akira said. He, Amelie, Tomioka, and Melissa sit in a circle, discussing theories.

"Who do you think it was?" Tomioka said.

"Hard to say, yet he is the reason why my brother was corrupted."

"Corrupted? He's not," said Melissa. "I saw it with my own eyes. He is a monster,"

"Who is the master do you think?" Akira said.

"What?" they said.

"It starts from a young cat, innocent and kind, trained by his master. One day, he found a new master, and he has been taught about hunting, and how to catch them. Even worse, he shows great evil inside his core." said Akira.

"It means, there must be someone controlled not just him, but others too," said Amelie.

"Could it be..."

Then the phone ring tone disturbed the discussion. "Just pick up the phone then," said Melissa.

As he picks up the phone, a ring portal opens out of nowhere, and the whole of them goes out of it. Arrows and bullets fired out of the portal. Then, Amelia crawls to the portal and immediately closes it. "What's going on there?" said Melissa. Soon, Lisa hugs her sister tightly without reason. "Lisa-chan, what's up?" she asked concernedly.

"Dr..."

"Let me tell her then," said Elyssa afterward.

As Melissa realized, she changed to her Apostle entity once more. "How you..."

"What's the matter? Elyssa?" she said.

Elyssa becomes overwhelmed by Marika's charisma. Her smile makes her tremble, her eyes make Elyssa's eyes forced to be closed. "Neru...Schalfen...spat'...somnum...SLEEP" she chanted in whispers. Then, Elyssa slept. And the only persona who wakes is Lisa.

"How you do that?" she said with teary eyes.

"Shh, there's nothing to be stressed about, have a rest." Both personas of Melissa and Marika cuddle her to calm Lisa down, and then she sleeps. "Hanna, Emilia, take your stepmother and your step sisters to the main room, dears."

They loved to help them and they treated them like they were one of a kind.

"It's time Akira," said Melissa/Marika "I have a clue that supports this war."

"Takeru...". "It's been a while since you saved me. And you have become their hero, Takeru..."
