Meanwhile in Fairfield....
Titus would wake up barely opening his eyes.
"Hmm.....What date is it now? Alina?"
He'd turn to look at her bed and there she was gone as her bed is clean.
"Well off she goes again..."
He'd get off his bed and starts fixing the beddings. Titus had to think of his life choices.
"*Sigh* I guess it's hard to move on from that incident."
He'd get dress and exits his room. It was a weekend and no classes so he decided to go around the academy. As he wanders around the academy, he sees Nico, Tulura's most attendful apprentice, sitting in cafeteria looking upset. He decided to talk to him as he knows Nico.
"Hey Nic! You're looking a little bit down today."
"It's that obvious?"
"Well no one's been noticing but I sure can read an aura well."
"Haha. I guess I am a bit upset of something..."
"Really? I might be able to help you with it."
"Well it's this.."
"An--"
"Emergency Warp Device."
"I assume Miss Tulura left you with this?"
"Yeah. She said she'll be back for 2 days but it's already been a week."
He was worried. Worried of what is Tulura's current situation is. In a matter of fact he isn't able to send or receive a message to Tulura as the academy still suffers from the incident.
"Oh c'mon Nic, I'm sure it--"
The device starts making a noise and a blinking light emits from it. The two panic and Nico picked it up before throwing it up. It opened a portal and Tulura comes out of it falling and screaming. She'd land on Nico and was shocked when she sees how the portal was deployed.
"Nico.."
"Rgh... ma'am....."
They'd be squashed by Astora wearing armor who also fell from the portal.
"Augh!"
"Unf!"
Astora gets off of them and both of them immediately get out of the way of the portal and Rizette comes out falling from it. Astora would catch her and the two stood still a bit before also getting out of the way.
"How did it even come to this.."
4 days earlier.
As Astora gets out of the bed, Rizette would help him get dressed up. He was dizzy a bit but it would soon pass later on. They'd decided to get out of the room and Tulura was waiting for them outside.
"You're finally awake! I am so sorry! I forgot to mention about the illusion..."
Astora would look at her confused.
"No need really. Sometime Astora gets a bite in the ass by karma."
Astora scoffed as he didn't want experience it again.
"Eh...hehe...."
"Well? How's the soldiers and your people?"
"Surprisingly they get along well, my people aren't that friendly when it comes to strangers but my people were willingly to help us out, even fixed Astora's voice. Does he know that he can speak now?"
Astora got shocked and eventually he utter a word.
"What?" Astora uttered.
He put his hand on his neck and rubbed it. He couldn't believe it.
"Wha--How.... WHAT THE FUCK!?" Astora shouted in confusion.
"Now, now." Rizette patted his back.
"Yeah...please quiet it down because I don't want to wake up everyone right now."
"Hold on what time is it already!?"
"It's already night Ast."
"How long was I passed out!?"
Rizette shushed Astora
"Like what Tulura said everyone's asleep, you might as well just walk it off now or probably cool off? You're not in the mood to go apeshit."
Astora sighed in distressed as he just recovered from another coma. Tulura was already dead tired as well as Rizette. He looked at the two of them.
"The two of you should go to sleep, I guess I'll walk around a bit.."
Rizette would grab him in his clothes.
"Oh no you won't. You kept me waiting you little shit." Rizette said in a malicious expression.
"Uhm...maybe I should leave you two be.."
"Rizette!?"
Astora didn't sleep that night.
The next day...
The Moraine Knights and The Sutemon tribe were going well and are helping eachother. The two faction already formed an alliance without even noticing but they are on a serious situation. The Sutemon's festival was just 3 days away and they needed to make preparations now.
A knock on a door. Rizette is awaken by the sound of it. She'd sit up and yawn with a blanket wrapped around her. She opened the door and there she sees Valerie.
"Now I know why I having hard time to sleep." She'd lean on her left, peaking and there she sees Astora sound asleep. She'd raise brown and glance at Rizette.
"Act--" before she could finish, Rizette already finished her words for her.
"Act 31:Thou shalt not lay amidst a mission."
"I see...get dressed, everyone's preparing for a festival coming in 3 days. And Astora..."
"I will." Rizette closed the door ending the conversation.
"*Sigh* she starts getting more ballsy with him around."
Meanwhile..
Tulura is already awake and outside commanding her tribe and the Moraine troops.
"That should be near the shrine! Hey you two! Do not smoke near that obelisk!"
Rizette approached whilst still having a messy appearance.
"Well seems like someone's an independent leader today."
"Hah! And you stand there acting like you didn't had an sexual activity last night."
*Murmurmur.*
"You really have to said it outloud?"
Tulura bends down.
"Well it's just our Rizette is starting to open up more and more. Alot of our men envy Astora you know?" Tulura smiled
"They can try." Rizette scoffs.
"Is Astora awake?" Tulura asked Rizette
"Asleep."
Tulura would look up the eleven house the she allowed Rizette and Astora to sleep in. There Astora stood in it's balcony sipping from an wooden cup looking down at them. Rizette turned around and looked at him before waving, Astora would also wave back before going off the balcony.
"*Sigh* lucky bitch.."
"Haha! I know...So what's Valerie giving me?"
"My tribe has a tradition, that every Rüejin festival, in Revana falls hides a very bright shallow water with mystical creatures, one of them we hunt for the festival a 'Qëras", a creature with an bright glowing violet body and a trail leaving antenna. I'll have my people guide and swi--"
"Wait I'm going underwater?"
"Why? Are you afraid of shallow water, I can just reassign you-"
"No it's Astora, he has a trauma about shallow waters and if he knows I went underwater, he'll start panicking."
"I see, you know might as well try to convince him to come with you. Overcoming his fears and you know...heard the Revana falls is popular with--"
Before Tulura could finish there Rizette was already gone.
"Couples....."
