Reborn With The All Seeing Eye

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to the side, seeing the huge monster lying some meters away from them, smoke coming out from its burnt belly.

"This? Why did you attack, It was coming for me." Aaron asked, staring at Protean over his shoulder.

"Huh? But it looks like those claws were also coming for me... You said when something attack you, attack back."

"When the hell did I say that?!" Aaron was stunned.

Protean just rolled his eyes.

"....."

While the two were arguing, the rest of the group finally got themselves.

"Protean defeated it? That means Aaron can kill it with a single attack." Mott said, and turned to Emily.

"That's good, at least she won't feel back Aaron defeated her in a round."

Emily rolled her eyes at him, and walked away: "Is that how to support someone?" She muttered under her breath.

Emily stopped besides Stellar and placed her hand on her shoulder.

"Don't worry, One day, we'll defeat those two."

"Huh? I'll say yes with Protean, but I can't defeat Aaron." Stellar said.

"Hey! I can hear you! Why can't you him? But you can with me! Do you think I'm weak?"

"At the moment you are." Stellar said with a teasing smile.

Protean looked at himself, and realization struck him that he was still a Raven.

"So?! You can't still win me!" He quickly said.

"Stop you two, Now let's get to business." Aaron stopped the two, and waved his hand.

The smoke rising from the monster flew towards him and before everyone, it turned into a black eagle.

"Stellar." He called out.

"Oh. Yes!"

Stellar remembered and brought out the eye. Aaron took it from her hand with his energy, and moved it towards the eagle.

It took it with its beak and, and stared at Aaron.

"Deliver this to the human emperor, Let the show finally begin... With some investigation, the monsters raid is happening in a week time... So everyone have a week to prepare."

He said, looking at Mott's parents. The eagle nodded again, and flew away.

"Yeah, but there's a problem."

Stellar returned her summoned, her face laced with worries.

"What problem?" Emily asked.

"Look at me, If I go back to the Academy like this, won't everyone be suspicious? And I don't trust anyone there, only Mott."

"Aww..." Mott said with a dumb smile on his face.

Dolor looked at him with raised eyebrows, and thought:

'Hopeless.'

Aaron stared at her for some seconds, and sighed:

"She's right, we don't know those working for Skull, and if they discovered who she is... That's place her in danger, I suggest you come with us and leave the Academy... Let me ask; have you completed the plan?" Aaron stared at her, and Mott.

"Yes."

The two answer in unison.

"Good! Then Stellar won't go to the Academy anymore, she'll follow us to Terra." Emily said with a happy smile.

"What?! What about me?!" Mott asked, the feeling of not seeing Stellar didn't match well with him.

Why couldn't he join her?

"You'll stay in the Academy, make sure all the students trust me, give them everything they need, and what do they need? Gold coins... Make sure the thought of killing the Cursed Child removed from their heads. If it does they won't be able to kill their helper... They might be fighters, but they're still kids, give them what they want, and they'll love you... But, stay away from the Royal families, especially Angela and Andrew... Maybe Harold too."

"Don't worry, I'm sad Stellar won't be helping me, but I have our club members, We'll be ready on the day." Mott said.

"Good." Aaron nodded in satisfaction, and added:

"Good luck, Mott... We'll see in the Academy."

Aaron said, and before the group; he disappeared with the two girls, leaving Mott, and Dolor behind.

[Terra.]

Aurora stared at Mariel, who sat opposite her with a slight frown. She raised her cup and took a tea.

Mariel was nervous, tightly holding the teacup on the table with both hands, not knowing what to say... Or how to start.

"So, How is my best friend doing?"

Aurora asked, her voice emotionless, gaze cold.

"I... I--"

"--Stop, What do you want to say?" Aurora stared at her with a slight frown.

"Apologizes? Or how you joined my father and his commanders to track me? Or how you betrayed your own best friend? Even telling them where we were heading!"

"This? I... I'm sorry, I have no excuse... Please, please forgive me."

"You know."

Aurora took a deep breath, holding back her tears.

"Because you revealed our location, we had to escape into the Flesh Eaters' forest... If it hasn't been for Lilly, I would be dead!"

Mariel lowered her heads, as tears ran down her cheeks.

"I... I did it for your safety." She said looking up at Aurora.

"How is it for my Safety?!" Aurora yelled, placing down her cup.

"It is.... Listened." Mariel took a deep breath, and started:

"I don't know how, but your brothers already knew you were heading to your mother's secret house, and even sent Assassins, powerful Assassins, to kill the both of you. And you were heavily pregnant, so you won't be able to defend yourself, let alone Lilly."

He paused, and wiped away her tears with her hands.

"I don't know what to do? You already left, so the only way is to tell you father where you're going."

He sent me, Visco, and Mike to bring you back, Alive... But I tried to mislead them, but Visco was adamant, he always pushes my excuses to the side, and carry on--"

"--You know the route we took, why didn't you meet us on the way and told us this?!" Aurora asked.

"I was scared, and the first thought that came to my head was your father--"

"--Half Father." Aurora cut her off, and heaved a sigh.

"Please Aurora! I miss my friend... I regretted my actions, and there wasn't a day I won't dream of setting everything right. Furthermore, I should have looked for you after that, but I didn't, and I'm so sorry about that."

Aurora stared at Mariel for some seconds, and slowly placed down her cup.

"Those Commanders looked down on me, People who I took as family! You all hunted me down like an animal. I promise, each one of them will pay... Starting with you."

"Huh?" Mariel looked up at her, a little stunned.

"Do you think I'll easily forgive you? I know you aren't responsible for the chase, but you're responsible for my beloved son getting born in such a place."

"--I, Aurora--"

"--Calm down, Mum. Please forgive her."

The two turned to the door, seeing Lilly walking inside the garden.

"Lilly?" Mariel gave a small smiled.

"Hello, Miss Mariel... I heard everything, and thank you." She turned to Aurora.

"Mum, I know you're angry, but think for a second. If she hadn't told the king, We won't be standing here... We would be dead, and because she did, we're here with baby brother. Safe and sound; isn't that what you ever wanted?"

Aurora silently stared at Lilly, then turned her head to Mariel.

"Please, Aurora." Mariel pleaded.

"Yes, Mum! Please!!" Lilly added.

Aurora stared at the two for some seconds, and sighed helplessly.

"Fine, but you'll have to do something, If you succeed, I'll forgive you." She said, her tone firm.

"Deal, what am I going to do?" Mariel asked, letting out a relief sigh.

"It's kind of easy." Aurora let out a mischievous smile.

Mariel and Lilly looked at one another, their faces paled, whenever that smile was plastered on Aurora's face... Something bad was about to happen, especially someone's death.

"Poison the other four Commanders, and soldiers. The Monster raid is hitting in a week, I need the Elves' kingdom to face terror, and beg for help, then we'll help, and used the opportunity to take over the throne... Take this."

She opened her palm, and a golden vial appeared on it.

"Put this in their food, that's all you have to do."

Aurora placed the vial on the table, and stood up with a smile on her face.

"This?"

Mariel took the golden vial, slowly observing it. "What is this?" She asked, raising her head to Aurora.

"A gift from me." Aurora smiled, and walked away.

"Oh!"

She stopped and looked at Mariel over her shoulder:

"Give my father my regards, tell him I'll be visiting, very soon."

With that said, she walked away, leaving the garden.

"She hasn't changed." Mariel smiled, then looked at Lilly.

"Thank you or your forgiveness, Lilly... I'll never fail any of you again."

"It's nothing, the forest played a crucial role in our lives, and it's all thanks to you... I'm not happy with your past decision, but it's all in the past, we can't let our past affect our future."

Lilly smiled, and waved her hand.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Whizzed!!!

Mariel looked over her shoulder, seeing a gateway opening.

"That'll lead you to the elves' kingdom."

"It seems my student is now stronger and better than me with spells."

"You were the best teacher with Mum... And don't look surprise, a time will always come when the student will be a lot better than the teacher."

"True, true." Mariel smiled.
