Project Superior: A Hero's Awakening

The Divine Royal Family

In his grand lavish room, Xavier woke up light-headed with a mild headache. Seeing that Xavier had finally woken up, Anastasia hurriedly ran to his assistance, helping Xavier get out of his bed properly.

"Why do you seem so worried Miss Anastasia?", Xavier questioned a bit curious.

To which Anastasia answered, "It's nothing, I'm just happy to see that you are alright".

Xavier was taken aback by Miss Anastasia's overly caring demeanor, but the moment was cut short. Alcmena, sitting at a distance and watching the exchange, suddenly burst into laughter.

"You seem to have lost a few brain cells, kiddo!" he teased, grinning widely.

Flustered, Xavier shot back, "Shut it, you ugly cat!"

"Who are you calling an ugly cat?!" Alcmena snapped, his tone shifting from playful to sharp.

Sensing the rising tension, Anastasia quickly intervened, her voice calm and soothing. "Xavier, are you hungry? You should eat something."

Still fuming, Xavier muttered, "No, I'm not hungry."

Alcmena scoffed and smirked. "Get over it, kid. No need to spread your bad vibes around my woman."

Xavier, under his breath, grumbled, "You're the one spreading bad vibes with that stench of yours."

"I heard that!" Alcmena growled, his sharp ears catching his murmur.

Rolling his eyes back, Xavier then questioned Anastasia, asking, "Oh by the way Miss Anastasia! Is Grandpa here today?".

"I haven't seen him in a while now".

Anastasia replied, "Lord Graviil? Oh he's at his officer right now. If you would like, I could take you to him".

But Xavier immediately cut Anastasia mid-sentence, telling her, "No need to do that. I'll go see him myself". Xavier then ran out of his room, grabbing the Visor of Time, as Anastasia and Alcmena were left behind in disbelief.

"That brat...", Alcmena murmured to himself in frustration.

"You sure care about him a lot, don't you?" Anastasia teased, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

Alcmena let out a long sigh before replying, "It'd be a lie to say I don't."

Anastasia giggled softly. "That explains it," she said. "You two act like a father and son."

Alcmena paused, reflecting for a moment. Father and son, huh? he mused to himself. After a brief silence, he shrugged and said, "I guess you could say that."

Xavier who ran through the palace's hallways, greeting many servants and guards along the way, finally reached his grandfather's officer room which was heavily guarded by knights.

"Good evening, Young Lord", One of the knights greeted. "How have you doing today?".

"I've been doing great!", Xavier replied.

Another knight stepped forward, his tone respectful yet curious. "Young Lord, are you here to meet with Lord Graviil by any chance?"

"Yes I am!", Xavier answered cheerfully.

As the door to Graviil's office opened, Xavier eagerly rushed inside, only to freeze in surprise at the sight of Violet already there.

"Xavier!" Violet exclaimed, throwing her arms around him in a tight hug. "How have you been? Are you feeling alright?"

Xavier laughed nervously, caught off guard by her enthusiasm. "I'm doing great, big Sis. How about you?"

"Fantastic!" Violet grinned, her eyes gleaming with joy.
