Harley's pov

(open eyes) What's ... going on? I can't move ... and all this ... (panicking) am I drowning? (puts hands around his neck) When did this happen? (looks around and sees Harith and the others dead) No ... it can't be ... and I can't move! Dammit! (tries moving his hand) Harith ... I can't reach you ... (starts crying) Claude ... Cyclops ... Dexter ... I'm so sorry ... (realizes) and yet ... I feel at peace.

Harith - (moves Harley) Hey... wake up.

Harley - (blinks several times) Umm... (looks at Harith) You are alive...

Harith - (confused) Of course I am, let's go. We are here at Eruditio Land. (lends hand) Come on.

Harley - (reaches Harith's hand and gets up)

No one's pov

Returning to Eruditio Harley and company finally rest from a trip at sea. Claude says goodbye and apologizes for not warning them about everything they had faced and for not being with them throughout the process, then he returns to his girlfriend Kimmy. Noting that they had Cecilion's necklace they decided to go to the circus to deliver it. On their way they find themselves with Vale and explain that he could keep on resting because they were getting close to go to the Oriental Empire.

Tired and hungry, they arrive at Cecilion's circus. Finally, they finished with one of the alternate missions to be able to search for Popol and Kupa at the Oriental Empire. Cecilion receives them very gratefully and asks for the necklace. As Harley takes out the necklace and hands it to him, his body begins to glow in an extraordinary way, causing fear even to the magician.

In the eyes of all, the power of Harley made appear an exact replica of the Necklace of Durance. 2 necklaces ... there were 2 necklaces ... and both emitted the same defensive magic power. Cecilion was shocked at so much power that the little magician displayed. However, Harith could feel Harley's defenses coming down, as if they were somehow connected. In gratitude, Cecilion asks them to please stay and rest and eat the delicious food that one of the members of the circus had made, he even offer an invitation to the show that they would do that night. An offer that obviously they could not refuse, not only because of the food and their fatigue, but also because they needed to recover and treat their wounds in a safe place for everyone.

Harith's pov

Poor Harley ... he must be tired and scared by so much his body does ... (looks at him walk) Has his hair ... always had black streaks? I don't think so, it has always been light hair. First his eyes and now his hair? (walks behind him) I should be more aware of those things about him ... (he arrives at the tent they are staying) Should I talk to him or better let him rest? It's just ... I'm very concerned about these changes of his body. They are supposed to be normal, but I don't know anything at all.

Harith - (gets near Harley) Hey, we need to talk.

Harley - (blushes) You... are too close...

Harith - (makes Harley sit on the camp bed and sits beside him) Harley... are you ok?

Harley - (looks down) Yes... I'm just tired.

Harith - (tries to grab his chin but sees that Harley flinches and frowns) What did Atlas say to you?

Harith - (tries to grab his chin but sees that Harley flinches and frowns) What did Atlas say to you?
