Claire was thirteen when her mother, Aphrosia, allowed her to leave the Hellenic realm and live outside, this time with the Nyxalis siblings. It was both thrilling and nerve-wracking as she sat in the back seat with Mysia and Alec, letting herself soak in the world beyond what she'd always known.

"So, isn't this exciting?" Mysia asked, her voice bubbling with enthusiasm. Alec, who sat in the passenger seat, nodded, offering a casual "Yeah," while Xel focused on driving.

Claire's eyes were glued to the window, watching the scenery roll by, though she didn't lean against it as boldly as Mysia. The world outside felt big and unfamiliar. Her five voices hummed in her mind, each reacting to the new experience.

Serene (Comforting Voice): "It's a fresh start, Claire. Just relax and take it all in."

Rush (Excited/Panicked Voice): "Look at all this! New places! New people! This is going to be great!"

Insight (Calm Voice): "Let's observe carefully. We don't know what lies ahead."

Fury (Angry Voice): "Why do we have to leave the realm anyway? We were fine back there!"

Insight (Calm Voice): "Its a whole lot of drama while Claire was there, and your saying were fine there?"

Fury (Angry Voice): "Sometimes! And you know that!"

Woe (Worried Voice): "I hope we don't mess this up. What if we don't fit in?"

"Alright, so before we get to my house, you two better behave, okay?" Xel called out, throwing a quick, amused glance over her shoulder.

Alec rolled his eyes, a smirk on his face. "Xel, they never misbehave—except for Ziggy, maybe..."

Xel chuckled. "Right. Anyway, I'm planning a trip to Riverside Town. Who wants to go with me?"

Hearing the mention of Riverside stirred memories in Claire's mind. She thought of her friends there—Anova, Biscuit, Xister, Vivian, Fen, and so many others. Her heart gave a little jump of excitement.

"Me!" Claire nearly shouted, surprising even herself with the enthusiasm that spilled out. Rush was practically dancing with excitement, dominating her emotions with eager energy.

Rush (Excited/Panicked Voice): "Let's go! So many people to see! So much to do!"

Serene (Comforting Voice): "Steady now, Claire. Let's not overwhelm ourselves."

Insight (Calm Voice): "Focus, Claire. Don't lose sight of the moment."

Fury (Angry Voice): "Don't just blurt things out! Let's keep some composure here!"

Woe (Worried Voice): "I hope they don't think we're too eager... or too much."

"Can we get Eryx after we're at your house?" Claire asked, her tone softer now, hoping to see her old friend soon. The anticipation of this new life and reuniting with friends filled her with a mix of excitement and nerves.

It was a lovely day, and Sofia had invited Xel over for a tea party, along with Daniel. This gathering followed Xel's trip to town, where she had taken Claire and Eryx with her. It was also the first time Daniel and Sofia were meeting Claire, Xel's sister, and Eryx, who happened to be Claire's friend.
