"o-oh I'm sorry… I didn't mean to scare you sir." She apologized, running to my aid; but stopping her before she could help me up, as I stood up by myself but it seems that now she feels bad at herself for hurting me. "I'm very s-sorry please I didn't mean too-."
"no problem okay… I'm fine, though I'm looking for the person who saved my life by healing…. M…e it can't be….." I trailed off, as I finally turned my gaze towards the nun; only to be shocked by what I saw.
I stood there in silence, as I stared aimlessly at the blond haired nun; who was a little bit shorter than me about 5.10 feet; while I was 6.5 feet, and had piecing blue eyes… all just like… her.
"i-I was the one who saved you… I couldn't help see you hurt..." she said with a shy tone in her voice. But I just stood there with a shocked expression on my face… it was her… she is in front of me… she is alive.
"…. Trinity…."

Dante p.o.v
I stood there, stunted and surprised on what I saw before me… but how, I can't believe it; she is right in front of me. I started to approach her little by little, trying to contain my excited.
"T-trinity… you're here, you're alive." I had finally reached in front of her, as I was about to pull her into a heartwarming hug. But it seems that… she had a confused look on her face, and started to shift back; which kinda hurt me…. I-I'm I wrong.
"i-I'm sorry sir… but I don't know who is this trinity you speak of." She mentioned to me, trying to clear up any confusion. "m-my name is mia… and we're right now in the children orphanage."
"b-but…
"n-no problem mister…" she responded with a beautiful smile on her face that just caught me of guard… 'she even has the same smile as trinity' I sighed, trying to move towards; as it seems that I slept with my gear. But just before I could take one step, "n-no mister you're still wea-."
I fell to the ground, being overcome with weakness. Feeling a burning sensation at my fingertips, I immediately moved my attention towards it; as the seal was trying to extend to my elbow but was stopped by a mysterious mana presence. I turned my gaze towards the nun; who knelt down close to me and seems to be… healing me, and therefore keeping the seal at bay… but how was that possible?
"
"W-well as I was saying… I don't think that you will be able to get to where ever you were heading to." She replied, helping me up to a nearby chair, just close to the bed. "y-you see… one of the children from the orphanage brought you here, after you were unconscious in the woods… so I tried to heal you, as you… y-you were dying."
I widened my eyes in shock at what she just explained. 'b-but how?
"p-please don't stress yourself mister…. When I was trying to heal you… it didn't work, as I started to feel your mana presence constantly depleting… like as if it was being drained gradually." She informed me with a saddened tone, placing her hands on my mine but mostly on the seal. "and it seemed that it was this… tattoo on your hand, or should I say seal… as it seems to be draining your mana, to sustain itself; but I don't know why or how to remove it… but I could stop its effect."
"….. so it was that obvious huh… then tell me
"i-I know I couldn't heal you… but then I noticed that a very large amount of your mana was gone…. s-so I had to use mine to replace the one you have lost… saving your life in the process." She explained, rising up from her current position. Heading towards the door exiting the room, as I stood there in awe… 'so she saved me from the hands of death…' she opened the door, trying to exit the room… but then I decided to rise up again, but this time I didn't feel weak… and then headed towards her direction. Just before she could close the door, I held her hand; feeling her mana presence which was so…. Peaceful. As I drew her attention towards me, and with a smile on my face that showed that I was truly grateful.
"m-mister." She muttered in shock.
"thank you… sister mia, and may you always be blessed by the lord." I thanked her, as I let her hand go. She was at first shocked by this even more… but then gave me a beautiful smile of her, as a single tear had dropped from her left eyes… but I could feel something from that single tear… something even I know very well… and that was despair, she was in pain from her past… just like me.
"
"Oh sorry … my name i-is… kami…. Kami sarutobi." I answered her while heading to the bed, trying to rest some more. As she exited the room, she muttered something that I couldn't hear… 'though I don't know why I told her my former world surname, maybe… just maybe, she is still out there… watching, so I just need to keep on trying.'
"but for now… I need to figure out what is wrong with this ring… and maybe find out what this seal is trying to achieve." I proclaimed, closing my eyes in the process.
Mai p.o.v
"oh sorry… my name i-is…. Kami… kami sarutobi." The man answered, with a heartwarming smile on his light tanned skin face. But then as I exited the room, I don't know why… but that name sarutobi sounds familiar from somewhere. I managed to sneak a quick pick at kami's face once more, as a light blush grew on my face… but why am I acting like this?
"thank you, for your kindness…. Tobi." I smiled, heading towards the children's room to check up on them.

Ruk p.o.v
I can't believe that our guild is now contracted by a clan… just how could master do this to us…?' I thought in solemn, as it seems that some group of elite has made their way towards the guild.
."this can't be really happening… how could master let this happen!" jack rage one, growing a thick murderous aura around him. "I don't care which clan have done this… because all I know is that I won't let them!"
"I suggest you calm yourself jack… besides who knows just how strong this clan could be for them to bend the will of the order of the guild." Hercul responded, trying to calm jack down. But just before jack could calm down, some group of individuals came right into the guild: bearing with them, a very familiar coat of arm that belonged to a very, very powerful clan.
"We claim this guild… under the name of the fortia clan!" the dark knight figure had spoken, stabbing the flag pole on the center ground. "and everyone in this guild are to blow down to him… or face the consequences."
"I will show you… consequences!" jack responded with a malicious tone in his voice, as he snapped and instantly vanished and had reappeared in front of the dark knight; who seems unfazed. In a blink of an eye, a mighty shockwave shook the whole guild, as jack hit had connected…. But that was what some of them thought.
"jack! Why did you do that." Zura shouted at him, by his sudden action. As most of the guild members were also shocked by this.
"what do you think zura…. They can't just waltz in, claiming to own us." He said with a disgust tone, but then suddenly… the air became thick… very thick. "I won't let tha-
Jack was stopped at mid-sentence, as all the dust in the air were forced to the ground… to reveal that the dark knight; who jack swung his sword at, was totally unharmed. Jack's sword was stopped in mid-air by an invisible force, produce by his amour. He then stared at jack; who was now frightened by this… he didn't flinch.
"
The dark knight suddenly shattered jack's blade, into bits, shocking the whole guild member and also jack himself in the process, as they were all stunned by this.
"b-but how-ack!" jack was then forced to the ground in an instant by the dark knight.
"You shall serve as an example to all…" the dark knight raised his palm towards jack; who was now in pain being suppressed by this weight. "Now die…"
"It won't be wish of you to do that…" I heard hercul, marching towards the knight with no trace of fear on him… besides it should be the knight that should fear him. "just the fact that your clan has contracted my guild is sicken… but you, trying to take the life of my friends is unacceptable."
"Is that a threat? Beast." The knight dropped down his hand, and was now facing hercul; who was on in front of him. Though I can feel the gravity that the knight is producing, but never the less, has not made hercul flinch a bit. "Because if so… then you shall be forced to bend to the force of the fortia clan… beast."
The dark knight stated, as the air around them just became even thicker than before.
"Take it as whatever you want knight… because if any of my friends get hurt in the hands of your clan." Hercul stated, bending down face to face with the knight, as his aura instantly neutralized the force from the knight, making the knight a little bit shocked by this. "Then there will be no force in your clan or this world…. That will stop me from destroying your clan with my bear… hands."
"
"Enough Alex… besides the lord only asked us to deliver the message, and not to stay a battle with them." One of the elites pointed out, as the dark knight removed his hand off his shoulder, and made his way towards the guild door. But then stopped, and turned his gaze at hercul; who had a neutral expression on his face.
"Very soon… I will make you bow to the fortia clan." He exited the guild. "Because even a beast you caliber… can be tamed."
"Please jack… next time don't charge at your enemies, without knowing what they are capable of." I told jack, making my way towards the bar. "Something tells me that things will just keep on getting… worst god help us…. Hmmmm… where is kami?"
