It's a peaceful dusk. Calin walked along the riverbank, not knowing what to do when he was afraid to go home because of the previous letters incident.
He walked leisurely as he watched the fishermen unload their catch from their ships. In the distance, he could even see his father's crew running about as they did maintenance so the ship would be ready as soon as the day come.
He watched them silently as the sun began to fade into the horizon. The swans are flocking to their nest as the day began to end. Mesmerized, Calin unknowingly found himself near a certain alleyway, located just beside the riverbank. Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, he moves away from the alleyway, towards the bridge that would lead into the city.

Meanwhile, Lunelle sighed in relief as she saw her brother moves away from the alleyway. Right now, with torn clothes and her hands tied onto a railing, she is completely defenseless. While two burly men watched her with lustful gazes as her private parts nearly being uncovered.
She felt extremely humiliated as they licks their lips grotesquely. Her anger started to rise as she felt an itch all over her body. But she knew that she couldn't do anything about it. The only thing that comforts her is the fact that her brother wouldn't be involved in any of this. Also, the fact that no one would know about it... Yeah, hopefully. She knew that her end only consisted of two probabilities, first dying in shame, or kept living in shame. Her only indignation is the fact that she couldn't even decide the outcome between the two. She could only let her fate be decided by the two men.
She closes her eyes as she awaited for her fate to unfold. Tears streamed down her face as she began to reminisce about her childhood with her brother.
His raven black hair. His blue eyes that very much resemble hers. The back that always protected her every time and anywhere. She knew, that her brother was still protecting her even when he was being a mute. She saw it herself when he put himself in a fight, only to be beaten just to defend her name. The one and the only hero she admired. Her own black knight who feared nothing. Always be there to save her. Now, it's her turn to save him from helping her. She gritted her teeth, trying not to scream as the thugs began to grope her chest. It feels tickly, not at all the sensation that she likes, she felt humiliation rising onto her head. But still, she tried to hold back her voice afraid that her brother would come back after hearing it. She knew that her brother would certainly be killed by the thugs. So she held on, even as her tears began to flow like a waterfall.

Meanwhile, Calin silently walked on the bridge trying to get home before the sun completely disappear. But somehow, he couldn't calm down after passing that alleyway. His heart beats fast, as his breathing becomes rugged. He doesn't know what happened, but the frustration rising from deep within his soul kept him from walking properly.
It's at that time that he sees a familiar bag on the side of the bridge. Walking closer, he noticed panda imagery sown onto its surface. He took it and opens it, there are many strange tools inside the bag, but Calin knew that they are for Alchemy. Specifically, it's the bag that contains all of her sister's Alchemy Tools. The bad premonition he felt suddenly intensified, as he felt an electric current strikes him.
*Pats!
The scenery around him suddenly changed, the dusk turned afternoon. And he could see her sister walking on the other side of the bridge, followed by two black-robed men. Who then kidnapped and brought her away, towards the direction where he came from.
Then, the scenery returned to normal. But not Calin's heart which was beating hard.
*Ding!

Quickly looked at the screen that suddenly pops out from his vision he started running frantically towards the alleyway he passed by.

Meanwhile, Lunelle's dark brown hair is being pulled as her bare chest is being fondled by the thugs. The shame that she felt is intolerable. She wished to just pass away, but no matter how she tries to break her mind the shudder she felt every time they do anything kept her awake. The fear and frustration that she felt couldn't even be described in words as she could only shed more tears, when...
The sound of rushing footsteps could be heard nearing the alleyway at a considerable speed. She felt a cold shiver run through her body, as she saw a silhouette of a man running towards her location. His raven black hair, and his blue eyes which as deep as the ocean. The man she tried to save by sacrificing herself, is rushing to save her instead. The fear that she wishes didn't happen is now progressing in real-time.
"F*CK LET GO OF MY SISTER! "
*Boom!, Rustle.
The dust spread all around as he arrived by smashing the box covering the entrance. His body is bruised all over. But Calin couldn't feel any of it as he watched her little sister being humiliated in front of him.
"F*CK YOU ALL! COME FACE ME IF YOU DARE! "
He screamed loudly, akin to a beast which ready to give its all. Or a mighty general who has lost all of his soldiers. Completely different from the shy boy he had always been.
His ever-contained pride was being released all at once at the moment.
His blue eyes seemed to shine between the darkening sky. His conviction knew no bounds.
This is a beast who is afraid of none.
