Mind Reality of Eclipse

Lythos Castle ~ Chapter 72

"Here..." Alear sighed as she walked into the room. Veyle looked around the castle as they went to the library. They looked through the shelves to make sure everything was intact. Luckily, everything was, the scrolls were in the chest where they were.

Veyle sighed, "The heroes have reported that Liyue, Firene, and Ylisse had their scrolls stolen. However, they have recovered and they're fearing that Almyra is next to be attacked."

"Yeah... I heard, I heard that a good half of the team is missing. Nobody knows what even happened to them, all of them just..." Alear took a deep breath and sat down on the seat. She looked around the library as Veyle sat down in the other seat. "I'm worried about the heroes."

Veyle sighed, "I'm worried about the heroes as well, what if they never return from their mission?! This is only leaving me more and more worried about them!"

"Veyle, the heroes are probably busy doing something and their communicators got broken in the process... but I did hear that those in Firene were induced with Despair, that just leaves me more afraid of what Byleth has done..." Alear looked down at herself and took a deep breath.

Veyle said, "We just need to protect the scrolls from getting into the hands of Byleth. That shouldn't be too difficult!" Alear nodded as he looked around the library. Nothing could really describe how worried they were.

Alear sighed, "I'm just praying that our friends are doing okay. I would hate to hear that something had happened to them." Veyle nodded in agreement as they looked around the area. Alear then went outside to the balcony. "My brother was at Firene when they were attacked. Now... he's under their corruption. I hate it all..."

Veyle replied, "Don't worry Alear! You have so much strength within you! Just keep on pressing forward! I know you can do it!" Alear looked at Veyle and smiled. They watched the ocean seas quietly as they gazed up into the sky. "Wait... what is that?"

Alear asked, "Huh?" In the stars they saw a blue glow in the sky. Alear was mesmerized by the looks of the glow, it was so special yet she had no idea what it was supposed to represent. "Is that..."

Veyle cheered, "That's an aura that's granted from the World Tree! It's coming over to bless us all Alear! This is just so exciting!" Alear looked at Veyle and then up at the stars. The blue glow had just only gotten more gorgeous. The World Tree was blessing the entire world with its aura.

Alear whispered, "It wants to protect us from Byleth and his crew. I know we will be able to protect ourselves! I know we will!" Veyle nodded as the two watched the stars. They smiled at one another until they heard an alert on their communicators.

"What was that?"

"Information..." She pulled it up and it was photos of the scroll regarding the Netherworld. "That's... a scroll?!"

Veyle asked, "What scroll is that?" Alear read through it and then learned more information about the Netherworld. How it was a keepsake to those who were banished away due to Mother Dawn's actions. It was interesting to learn how Midnight made it a haven for those banished, before banishing away Zethus and Zehira.

Alear explained, "It's about the Netherworld. How Midnight made it a place for those to live even if they were banished away from Dawn. However, Zethus and Zehira ruined the world after Midnight managed to escape. Taking it away from Othos."

"I see... what an interesting read..." Alear nodded as she put the message away from her communicator. "Is there any news if they have attacked Almyra?"

Alear sighed, "As of right now, not yet. But they would probably tell us once they get word that Almyra was attacked by the villains. This will probably mean that we better prepare ourselves for what's about to come."

"Right! We will do all we can to protect Lythos Castle from the villains!"

Alear laughed, "Glad you have the energy to protect our lands from them. I'm worried once they get all the scrolls they're going to get the crown."

"They will... I just know it," Veyle sighed. Alear nodded as she looked into the sky one more time. She took a deep breath and let the soothing air consume her. She didn't know what to do, she just loved everything surrounding her.

Alear sighed, "We will protect the scrolls! You and me together, Veyle!"

"Are you sure?"

"Why of course I am! I want to prove myself worthy, to the people of Elyos. To Dawn... to the heroes as well," Alear sighed. She looked down at herself and took a deep breath. She didn't know what to do. But she wanted one thing, to protect the scrolls and her sister.

Veyle sighed, "The night is absolutely breathtaking..." Alear nodded as she put her hand closer toward the stars. She smiled up into the air as she moved her hand down to her chest. She had begun to pray, praying that they would find a way to succeed.

Right as she did that she looked back into the sky. The blue glow vanished.

"AH!" Alear shouted. She looked down at herself and nearly fell over the balcony.

Veyle asked, "Alear!? What's the matter?!"

"So-Something shocked me from my communicator..."

"Well... that was me," The two looked over and saw Eirika with an electric shock. She was there alongside Rafal and Ike. The two took out their weapons and got prepared to fight them.

Rafal laughed, "Are you even sure you'll last?"

"I... I have to try..."
