Zepthanne and Alfer seemed to be having a good time talking with each other. Who knows that one of the members of the most respected family in the world has a great sense of humor? Zepthanne or Zepth for short, is a serious girl. But when Alfer came, she learned how to smile every once in a while.

A loud crash along with the screaming of people at the 3rd class part of the train alarmed both of them. Well, as well as all the other people. The train stopped moving. All of the passengers started to run to the back door. But something was already waiting for them outside. A massive 20 feet monster. It has a deformed stone body and holes where it shot its violet laser bullets to the passengers.

“DOCK!!” Alfer shouted. Then, he grabbed Zepthanne along with him to dock. Many people were hit by the laser-like bullets from the monster. Zepthanne closed her eyes; not wanting to hear the people’s agony. Alfer shook her gently.

“You’re going to Death Academy, right? Then let’s help the people.” He said. Zepthane slowly opened her eyes and nodded at Alfer.

The monster continued shooting. Zepthanne quickly took out two sheathed silver daggers with royal violet-colored hilt. She unsheathed it and leaped out of their hiding place. But Alfer got hold of the back of her jacket and pulled her back. A bullet almost shot her head, near her left ear. Good thing he pulled her back. Zepthanne panted.

“Thanks.” She said.

“You’re welcome.” Alfer replied. “But, can you please use me for now? I want to help the people. And oh, by the way, I’m a weapon. A huge silver shuriken.” He added. Zepthanne hesitated. She haven’t used any throwing weapons yet.

“I don’t know… I don’t know how to use a throwing weapon. I’m only good with close combat.” Zepthanne said to him. He frowned.

“But can you please atleast try?” His voice now sounded like he’s pleading. A royalty is pleading me? Okay, fine. I can’t disappoint him. She thought.

“Fine,” She replied. Her decision was quick. Many people are dying now. Alfer got hold of her hand. After a second, he turned into a huge silver shuriken (Sorry! Can’t describe the designs anymore. Please just see the picture at the right cx. Please forgive me for the bad drawing…). Zepthanne went out of her hiding place once again and expertly dodged the bullets. As much as possible, she tried not to step on the dead bodies. Then, she went out of the train through the back door, carrying Alfer; a huge shuriken.
