Together again for the third word

Friday 10 November 2006, Luna Nova

"Well, Halloween was really marvellous for rekindling a flame within the relationship I had with Croix, for things I didn't think could come, plus I was smarter with the advice that mum Bernadette gave me, she knows how to deal better than mum Laura, which I was able to know better how to act from now on, that's only in a while where more fights will happen, no matter how efficient I am with Claiomh Solais since I simply found every word with a certain speed."

It's good to see that Croix is making more of an appearance in her room, today's training is going really well, everything is wonderful, all thanks to the help of my mum who has managed to practically speed everything up, I'm really happy that things are going well again, I can't wait to actually get another one of the words down.
Gasping, I look at my mum, who smiles at me and pats me on the head, I think there's some advice ahead, I'm sure of it.

"Arae Aryrha, that's the third word, I think you're ready to unlock another one of them, usually these words are more about understanding the meaning than the power, but with my help I can kind of show you what each one is capable of" Oh great, every time Mum talks about the next word I manage to find another one.

"And what does she mean?" I ask her.

"Well, that's up to you, girl, but its meaning has something to do with what you've been going through, maybe your head is ready for it" said my mum, and I was curious.

"At least give me a hint, Mum, I'm not going to go around with riddles" I say to her and she laughs.

"Any tips I can give you are too much for this one, but anyway go to class now, today's training is over, have a shower and above all have a great day, oh and if you're trying to find the next word the Croix might be the key" That's going to be a pain to find, but I hope you can manage it.

"OK Mum, I'm going to class, bye-bye, but thanks anyway, your help has always been wonderful for me" I say smiling.

I hug my mum, who hugs me back and cuddles me, then I walk to the inside of Luna Nova, I think I'll make it far, if Croix is the key that will be interesting to know, today I'll try to talk to her more and see if she still wants to go to the tower of Arcturus, I hope so.

[...]

Another day at school is coming to an end, I'm going to try and see if Croix agrees to go for a walk, she's very close, maybe she really is the key to this next word, I'm sure it'll work, I keep thinking about what my mum said, if she's the key the word has something to do with being done together.

"You've been well travelled this day Chariot, what's going through your head?" asks Parker.

"Ah, it was just me thinking about completing the Claiomh Solais, ever since I went to train with my mum I've been thinking about ways of doing it" I tell her.

"Still on that stick, I know it's important and everything, but the way you've been acting, you don't need so much, you're only 16 and you haven't even graduated yet, why not wait until you graduate so you can unblock everything, then you'll have all the time in the world" I won't have any time at all.

"When I graduate I won't be in Luna Nova or anywhere near Arcturus, apart from the fact that all my time will be spent focusing on my career as a Shiny Chariot, since I won't have to worry about school, I'll finally be able to expand more, I've even found lots of ways to expand my choreography in this free time, but I haven't rehearsed anything yet" I say, scratching the back of my head.

"I hope you succeed Chariot, well don't exhaust yourself so much, I like you a lot, seeing you smiling and determined like that is gratifying" She even eased off on hitting on me.
