"Did you thought that I'd leave you in there?"
Anastacius asked the pale girl who has invisible chains around her body to prevent her from doing anything without him noticing. The girl just stood there silently.
"Don't worry, I will never leave you ever again, My Maui." He smiled at her which she didn't react on.
Suddenly, her eyes returned half of it's glimmer. She easily destroyed the chains around her without moving and quickly sent a message through her hologram before she coughed blood and fell on the ground.
"What?!" He was shocked since her soul almost returned even when he's just in front of her.
He growled and threw her body to the wall.

"Thank you, Lucas." Athanasia stated as she looked at her sleeping father.
"Well, you should be thankful. I can't even get off my seat.."
Lucas trailed off before a bright light appeared between them. Their attention was averted to the light as it turned into Maui's hologram figure.
"Reading the message, now.
Lucas, Athanasia. I hope this message reached you."
The sudden sentence made the male stood up from his seat.
"I'm currently in a tight situation that's difficult for me to deal with. It was pure luck that I managed to return in my body and sent this message through my hologram. I won't be able to help you that much because my body is captured by-- Ate- Be-- Atha-"
The hologram started to glitch.
"Captured by who?!"
Lucas yelled and tried to reach out for the hologram until it disappeared and turned into a small piece of paper. He quickly grabbed it and checked.
The last member of the royal family you encountered before you fell into deep sleep.
"Aeternitas.." Lucas whispered while his eyes glowed. Rage swallowed him whole, Athanasia noticed this.
"Who?" She questioned which made him ruffle his hair in annoyance.
"That darned Bastard!"

Athanasia grabbed the world tree's branch and found herself standing before the very tree.
"Athanasia?"
She turned around when she heard Maui's voice and widened her eyes when the mentioned person was standing not si far away from her, staring at her with wide eyes.
She was about to call out her name until she heard Lucas's voice.
"Hey! Can you hear me?!" Her eyes shot open and glanced to him.
"Maui.." She called out which made his eyes widen.
"What? Did you saw her?"
"Yes."

"..Actually, princess..when I was picking out the best ribbon there is to give you as a gift, with my father. Someone with purple colored hair approached me and recommended the flower pin I gave you. She also gave me a necklace."
Jennette and Athanasia just concealed, they're currently talking about Anastacius and Aeternitas. As Jennette blurted out the words, she raised her hand to her neck and traced the necklace then revealed it to the princess.
"This is Maui's mana!" The blonde haired cried which surprised the other.
"Maui? Her name is Maui..I should thank her when our paths crossed again, for recommending the flower pin. When I wore the necklace she gave me, my body felt light and my mind was clearer than it had ever been. I felt like it was protecting me.." Athanasia smiled warmly.
"Yes, she was protecting you. I guess she had known about your identity from the very start and protected you secretly through this bracelet. I don't see or feel the protection spell, but I do know she casted one as a shield if ever someone tries to do something bad to you." Small beads appeared on the corner of Jettie's eyes.
"I never knew.. Do you know where she is, princess? I would like to personally give her my thanks for protecting me." A sad expression appeared on the said person's face.
"She's currently restrained...by Aeternitas."

"I love you. My daughter, Athanasia." Diana said as she hugged Athanasia who's ready to stab the black mist with the world tree's branch.
"You did well, Athanasia."
The mentioned girl widened her eyes when she heard a very familiar voice. Diana leaned away a little from her daughter and they turned their heads around to the side, there stood a purple haired woman who has a smile plastered on her face.
"Maui..?" Athanasia called out to her in shock.
"I'm very sorry for leaving you on your own like that." Maui smiled sadly as she approached the two.
"Don't say that! Your protection magic was enough to keep me safe when Lucas was busy with Daddy! If it weren't for you, uncle might've harmed me." The princess stated which made her nod.
"Tell Lucas I said hi." She chuckled and the younger girl nodded.
"We'll make sure to get you back, Maui."
Athanasia neared to the black mist while Maui went beside Diana who smiled at her for reassurance, she returned the gesture. The teenager stabbed the void with the world tree before remembering something.
"Maui, why are you here..."
She glitched away before she can turn around to the two.
"You should've joined us earlier. With what you're planning, I don't think they'd be able to spend time with you after you go back." Diana turned to Maui who glanced at her.
"She lived 3 lives without being able to meet you. Letting you two have your own mother and daughter reunion, is the best that I can do for you." She replied with full honesty.
"You've done so much for me, Maui."
The purple haired girl smiled.
