"You must be crazy." She shuffles beneath her breath. She ran off with a picky bag of coins and in an attempt to escape fell off the window and Stefan couldn't help but feel pity for her.
Trevor walks into the room immediately after Cressida leaves.
"What are you looking at?"Stefan, who was still staring at the window, turned to look at him.
"What? Nothing, Trevor, I heard the Shadow Assassin uses Tansus." Stefan picks the crab leg and examines it carefully.
Trevor chuckled,"What do you know about Tansus?"
"I know enough, I read about it in my free time". Stefan sounded confident about this information.
"Tansus is the type of swordsmanship that only the best mages can learn, you flick energy with a blade just like you flick water. A single strike is enough to kill someone." Trevor explained to Stefan.
" But why did you ask?"
Youkay raised the crab leg in his face and recalled the moves Cressida made on him.
"I am just wondering if this crab leg almost could have killed me."
"Give it here, give it to me, I will pick out the way…" Trevor attempted to collect the crab leg from him when Stefan retreated the crab leg straight to his neck. Trevoy was scared for his Life.
"Listen, Stefan, you're aiming at a vital point. I could die" Trevor could see the edge of the crab almost piercing him.
" Yes, she aimed at my vital point in just one go." Stefan was certain Cressida was really talented with her fighting ability.
Cressida was in the market wanting to eat as her weak body craved food often when the mages entered the market. The women were murmuring about a female assassin who wanted to kill the mages and its leaders but got caught. The group of mages was led by Jiwon one of the seasons, they were merely taking a walk around town.
Morgan and Elena had had an encounter in the past when they were younger. Elena in Cressida's body recalls seating on a tree with Morgan and he gave her a whistle. She couldn't get her gaze away from him in the market as he walked past her.
" He must have seen my dead body, he likely would not recognize me. I am sure he did not recognize the whistle either" Cressida fell into her endless monologue and got emotional on seeing Morgan.
*************************
Down below the mountains into the Stony Forest are Elena's superiors – the ones who trained her and have sent her on her mission whose faces were barely seen because they were covered in black cloths from head to toe.
" There are no signs of Elena having visited this place, I think she failed to find a new body." One of the superiors said.
" Even if she succeeded, she probably isn't showing herself because she's facing a problem. An Assassin with a revealed identity must be discarded. We have to retrieve her body and sword, get rid of everything that has to do with her." The older superior replied.
" What happens if she's still alive?" The younger superior was insisted
" She will either get killed for being a soul shifter, or her soul will clash with the new body and she will turn to a rock. I trained her very well to become the best assassin, it's a pity." The oldest Superior sounded disappointed.
Nevertheless, Stefan Donovan ordered his men to kidnap Cressida and bring her back to the palace.
Cressida was rendered unconscious at the gold shop where she had gone to sell off one of the royal Jade she stole while in the palace when some group of men came in and kidnapped her.
" Where am I? Did I get caught? Then is this Pandora?" Cressida woke up to see herself in a strange room and had questions all over her head.
The door cracked open and a maid walked in with clothes.
"Are you awake?" The maid asked.
"Who are you? Where is this place?" Cressida was curious about her new environment.
"It is in the house of master Daniel Donovan, the head of Monticello "
"Daniel Donovan? So this is the Donovan family's house." One of those are monologues again.
"I wonder why the young master brought home such a weak girl." It's obvious the maid didn't like her.
"Young master? Cressida couldn't hide her curiosity.
"That is right, young master Donovan Stefan paid money for you to be brought here from the brothel. I heard you stole his Jade plague from the brothel"
"Why would he bring me here?"
Cressida was certain he was up to something because earlier on he gave her the Jade plague willingly.
"I was worried when he said he was bringing a girl home, but you put me at ease. He only helped you out of pity." The maid wasn't pleased to see her and she didn't need to hide it but Cressida was totally unbothered by her actions. She came in with some maid clothes and asked Cressida to change into it. She didn't fail to remind her that she was answerable to her before leaving the room for her to change up.
Cressida was glad she was going to be staying there, at least it was safer for her until she recovers and if he was falling head over hills for her, he would treat her right.
"Then I guess I will continue to live my life here as Cressida." She said to herself.

Tiwa's Presence
Stefan had opened the door and gone inside the cabin leaving her in her amazement. "Cressida, there's even a bath in here." He opened the door, peeped at her, and screamed out loud when she seemed not still ready to step into the cabin. She hurried into the house to see things for herself. To her surprise, it had a different look."Cressida. There are tons of things to eat and even the bathtub is very nice." Stefan stood placing one of his arms on his waist and the other on the center pillar of the house made with wood. This place was nothing compared to what Cressida had told him before now. "Master, you had yourself a pretty nice place. Did you have to scare your pupil like this? You are one weird…" He turns around to where the wooden bed was made. "There's even a blanket. This is so soft, it is nice and comfy." He sat on the bed and kept touching it.Cressida said absolutely nothing the whole time, she kept wandering around the room suspiciously"They are not mine. Someone else is
Larkville Training Cabin
Growing up as a child Elena had the best memories of her father until the heavy wind blow all that she had away from her. She was amazed by her father, who happened to be a constellation recorder mage for Greham. Four years old Elena went to the constellation room with her father, who often show her around the room where other workers did their work uninterrupted. Elena was often amazed at the beautiful lightning and flames that came out of the interlocked circle constellating tool."Here, at Greham we have a record of all the constellations. Even the ones on your birthday. Would you like to see it? He asked the little girl lovingly. "Yes, father." She said smiling. The father burst out laughing as well."Alright, let us go." He carried her on his shoulder. And went into where her constellation record was kept and placed it inside a bowl of water. Letting out the blooming stars."Look at that, there it is." He said to her, that same night the four season families of Elysian invaded hi
The Flee
*********************************************************The Assistant Warlord was keen at eliminating Stefan by all means. He went to meet with the Crown Prince to provoke him to accept the challenge the next morning."Please take up the challenge." Petrova tried to persuade him. They were both taking a walk round the palace."I do not see why I need to go against Pandora just because of that fool." Prince Maxwell said."Thanks to them, they will not be able to point their fingers at us. Show Pandora exactly how strong you are." Feddrick seems to have won him over. He obliged to it and prepared a letter to be sent to Pandora. Feddrick got exactly what he wanted by manipulating him. Pandora gathered to receive their visitors from Greham who came in their numbers."They are Royal guards and Greham's men. What is going on?" Morgan asked Trevor when he saw them coming in."Damn it! Master Ramirez!" Trevor flinched." He said nothing will happen. What is this? What should we do now?." H
The Official Duel
The door to the Secret Room where Cressida and Stefan were, eventually opened after shutting down. Master Ramirez and Trevor came in to see him."This arm of yours reached Rsuyu in that short period of time." Master Ramirez held his hand examining it happily. "You sure are as bright as your father." Stefan shrinks his arm from Master Ramirez's hold. He wasn't even paying attention to what he said in the first place."Feddrick Gonzales from Greham only picked a fight because he realized he would never become the next Warlord. He has realized that, the eldest son of the Donovan family will become the next Warlord." Trevor boasted.Stefan was still not in the mood to talk, so he ignored all that was said and laid on the recess of the temple in the room. "My uncle's wound was not that deep. Do not worry about him." "I will have a word with Feddrick Gonzales. Alright?" Master Ramirez equally tried to pacify him. He still didn't say a word. He was already backing them. They left afterward
The Deceit
Stefan is detend in a room as commanded by lord Petrova. He examines his bindied arm and reflects on himself for a few seconds before Petrova walks in on him. He stood up and looked at him then noticed the wound he sustained when he unsheathed the sword."Have you still not received treatment? You bled a lot." Stefan asked."How is your arm?" Petrova spoke softly and soberly."The binding bracelet hindered its movement. But I am fine.""You managed to turn Master Ramirez's torrents of energy into yours in a short period of time. I am truly impressed." Petrova has never complimented Stefan in his entire life. Stefan couldn't believe his ears."I felt like my body was on fire. Then it felt like I was covered in ice." Stefan explained what had happened to him when he left Pandora."What about the wounds from the flogging? Are you still in pain?""It seems like the flogging helped surge the energy. The Crown Prince had landed many hits. Then I felt a surge within me. That is when I unshea
A Stir of Anger
************************************************** The leaders of the most respected Provinces Old Reyes, Petrova Theodore and Lady Theresa Martinez alongside the assistant Warlord gathered for a brief meeting. The assistant Warlord seemed almost unbothered, sipping his coffee as though he was invited out of his own will."Tiwa was stolen from Lewisville." Petrova spoke first."Only those from the Martinez family can open that door. They must have summoned it out of there." Lady Theresa perplexed."A burglary in Lewisville? You were heartbroken for years after losing your eldest daughter. You must have become weaker over the years." Feddrick ridiculed rather than made contributions to improve the situation."What an impudent brat. You may be an illegitimate son. But you are still part of the Martinez family. How dare you bad-mouth your half sister?" Old Reyes scolded. "How dare you?" He raised his hand as though to hit him."I am the assistant Warlord. I would appreciate it if you sh
