Rhea entered the Chief's room just after she saw Alia getting out and rushing to the medbay.
The Chief's room was 3 floors above the ground floor. There was a map showing all the levels structured inside the Quarter. It was on the opposite side of the door of the Chief's room.
Rhea looked at it. She then remembered the "true" smile that Eta showed her after Eta returned.
Rhea was thinking, "It has been a while since I have seen him smile like that freely. What has it been? Since the 1st time we met? I. I am sure I will never forget that day!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In her past, she went through quite a hardship. Then the day that was one of her worst, and also, It was the day she met Eta.
Rhea was 10 years old When she saw 2 men kicked out of the bar through the backdoor in an alleyway. She was seated just a few metres away from the door. After they got kicked out, they got up, moving around wobbly. Since they were drunk, it was hard for them. That was when they saw Rhea just seated there on the floor. They approached her and talked her into joining them at their place. Rhea didn't understand what they said but understood they were talking to her. So, she looked up at them. The 2 men liked her beauty so much that they got aroused and started touching her inappropriately without her consent. Rhea was not paying mind to it either.
Shivan, "What are you both doing to her?", as he stood behind them with his Butler and a bodyguard.
Shivan was a child, 5 years older than Rhea. He didn't understand what was going on inside the alleyway with those 2 men close to each other in one corner, So he wanted to check it out. The Butler perceived the situation and advised his young master to avoid proceeding. He assured that he would take care of the matter personally.
Shivan nodded no and went ahead to see what all the fuss was about, that was when he saw Rhea along with those 2 men, and that was when he intervened in asking the question.
His Bulter didn't seem pleased coming to a place like this and felt disgusted, and he felt even more disgusted after seeing the girl[Rhea] being kissed on the neck forcefully. That was when she noticed Shivan. They both then met eyes with each other. Shivan blushed just looking at her face, thinking she was so beautiful, and covered his eyes, looking away. The Bulter so that the young master covered his eyes away from there and looked over to what he could not look at. He saw the young girl had her shirt torn by the 2 men and was naked from the top.
The Butler moved the young master away and helped the girl away from those 2 men. They weren't happy that The Butler intervened in between and stopped them. They then tried to attack him. The Butler was skilled enough to punish them. The Butler then detained them to the ground, tapping his collar button, "I have a situation here and need some help!"
Then The Butler looked back to see if the girl was okay, but he didn't see her anywhere.
He[The Butler] asked the bodyguard, "Did you see where she went?"
The bodyguard nodded no. The bodyguard was dressed the same as the Butler but had sunglasses.
Then 6 other bodyguards rushed into the alleyway and took the 2 men detained away from there.
Rhea was on someone else's hand. The person who had Rhea in his hands was wearing a body cloak, and Rhea couldn't see his face because of the sun's rays. They were on the roof above the alleyway.
The person was a man she could understand by his figure.
He[The Cloaked man] said, "You shouldn't be around that kind of people!"
Rhea felt like she had heard his voice somewhere else.
Rhea, "Who are you?"
Rhea then saw a smile on the man's face, "I? I am your Guardian Savior!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rhea then felt a tap on her shoulder and came back to reality. She was looking at the Structure of the Golden Valley before she drifted off into her thoughts. She looked back to see Alia standing there.
Alia, "Are you okay?"
Rhea nodded yes with a slight smile.
Alia, "Then will you help me with a duty?"
Rhea, "Basement?"
Alia, "Yes! Exactly! I would go there myself, but I have to take care of Juno for a while, and then I have to write a report later on the day's work done by everyone. Will you go there for me to supervise them, Please?"
Rhea, "Sure!"
Alia then left to go to the medbay, and Rhea was still there waving at Alia. After she couldn't see Alia anymore, she looked back at the map.
Pit and Leon came from the other way that was behind her.
Pit, "Hey! Rhea, thanks for the oranges!"
Rhea looked over to them with the same slight smile. Leon felt something different in her.
Leon, "What is it?"
Rhea looked at Leon, "What do you mean?"
Leon, "You seem different to me. You can tell us anything. We've known each other for a very long time. If something is bothering you, tell it to us!"
Pit, "I think she is fine?! She seems the same person to me. Beautiful but a Tomboy!"
Rhea was hurt and pissed at the comment. She prepared her right fist and smacked it on Pit's head.
Pit, "OW! That HURT! Come on, I said the truth there", as he kept rubbing his head off the pain.
Rhea was preparing for another one, but Pit that one and hid behind Leon.
Rhea, "What did YOU want from me!"
Leon, "Calm down, Rhea! You know Pit, he's always like this!"
Pit, "Well, she hasn't changed a bit either!"
Leon and Rhea looked at Pit, who said that behind Leon's back. Pit saw that both stared at him at the same time. Rhea smiled and cracked her knuckles, ready to wack him. Leon moved out of the way, and Rhea gave Pit a chase.
After a few minutes of chasing, both of them gave out at the same time. As Rhea saw that tried to get a bit closer, and the same for Pit. He saw Rhea stop. He tried to move a bit further from her. Both were panting rampantly.
Pit said while panting, "I am sorry!"
Immediately, as she was also panting, "I know!"
Pit, "*pant* But it was the truth!"
Rhea, "Take that *pant* back!"
Pit inhaled deeply, "Okay, Anyways, we were here to go with you to the basement. Alia said so!"
They both then lay on the floor to rest next to each other.
Leon came in, "We have something else to do, Though we can help you if you want us to", and crossed his knees and sat on the floor beside them.
Rebecca, "I can do that on my own!"
Leon, "Oh! My Apologies!"
Pit, "There you go! You made him go formal again!"
Pit and Rebecca cracked out laughing at the expense of Leon.
Leon, "I wanted to calm things", in a sad tone.
Rhea, "Sorry about that, Leon. And Thanks. You both!"
Meanwhile, Henry wasn't hurt much, So he got to work almost immediately after he regained consciousness. He was in the Entrance/Entry Port. As he gazes outside into the sky, his mind lingers on the battle with the demons that became a fight against him.
Henry, "What could I have changed?" in a dull tone.
