Third's P.O.V

Not an hour has passed after Dianne told them of her and their teacher's wishes. And now, the both kids are standing at the Reim port with their mother on their side walking quietly.

A large ship stood before them as Dianne turned to Lyra and handed her a bag of coins before patting her head with a smile on her face. Lyra just gave out a small smile as she leave her mother and twin staring at her back as she started to walk to the ship's direction. She walked to the plank and boarded the ship in silence as she eyed every one on board.

Lesson#1: Be Cautious of your Surroundings

Her teacher's words echoed to her ears and walked to the ship's railing with guard as people started to board too. Lyra looked at the bag of coins on her hands and untied the ribbon revealing coins of gold and silver but only one caught her eye. A black gem stone refeclected on her eye as she observed it closely unknown of the shadow watching her

-TimeSkip-

The ship left the docks and is now on its way to Balbadd. Lyra is mow on her cabin staring at the space sitting on her bed. Somehow, she feels empty without her active twin around. The though of it even, didn't dawned on her before this happens. Life is really full of suprises.

---------------------------------------

-TimeSkip for 3 days-

Lyra's eyes fluttered as she heard the noise building up on her door outside. She yawns as tears came out of her eyes and stretched like a cat before she took the small knives on the side table and put it on her sleeves. A blue armlet vaguely appeared on her arm as she place the sharp knives but she first covered it quickly before going out of the room.

"Oh, we're here?" Lyra asked to no one but herself. Men are already carrying huge crates out to the ship as the passengers are now starting to come out of their rooms. Lyra took the chance and went to the port only to be greeted by a small crowds of people minding their own busines.

"Hard to know that something is wrong here." A flash of pink passed her sight earning her complete attention and found a girl on her teens carrying a huge container of lemons(?).

"A Fanalis Slave....." Lyra muttered as she followed the girl and watched her movements. The Fanalis girl stopped at shops to look at their products but then started to move on. Lyra looked at the thing the Fanalis girl is looking at and find herself giving out a small smile.

"A pin, huh?" She took out a gold and three silver coins handing it to the seller who happily accepted it and took the pin before going to the direction where the girl went to.

Lyra looked around you find the girl. Well, who wouldn't notice a pink-haired girl with shackles on her feet in the crowd?

"Stealing a slave is a crime..." Lyra heard one of the watchers commented as the small blue-haired kid sounded his flute immediately breaking the girl's shackles.

Lyra's eyes widened in suprise at the action as the supposed to be temporary master of the fanalis came. Lyra watched in disgust as the man started to utter words that quickly pushed to Lyra's temper making Lyra took out her sharp knives. The blonde boy beside the blue-haired kid reacted quickly making Lyra draw back her knives and hid her face with the crowd.

Lyra's eyes flew towards the fanalis' master eyeing him wuth distaste as she clicked her tongue. "I forgot. I have to go to master first."

---------------------------------

"Hello there young lad, would you like one?" An old woman asked as she smiled revealing the wrinkles she had on her face. The young man visibly twitched not minding to show respect and throwed the old woman unto the floor.

"Young men these days.....getting more impolite.." The woman muttered as she walk on her cane down the busy streets of Balbadd. The woman journey till she reached a shabby hut and went inside without making any unnecessary sounds as she closed the wooden brown gates. She sat on the long wooden chair beside the tree and smiled as the wind brushed to his face not noticing a tall young boy staring at her.

"Hey grandma...." The boy called as he sat down beside the old woman who seems busy marveling the beautiful view of nature on her face. "...Lyra's visiting."

The woman's eyes widened in surprised and twinkled in excitement as she started to look a little younger because of her radiant smile. The young man could only shake his head at the sudden behaviour. "Will she dine with us? How many days? Will she-"

"Woah, woah!! Calm down!!" The boy said with irritation on his voice and face. The old woman only giggled in his reaction before letting the boy continue.

"I ordered her to come here because I know she can help in the conflict." The old woman' smile widened more as she stood up and happily walked to get inside their shabby hut." I better prepare then~"

Lyra's P.O.V

"Balbadd looks like they never had any war coming. The street looks peaceful." I said as I saw a mother and child walking happily as their hands are holding each other. I sighed as  I miss mother and my twin.

It's been three day, I know but I cant help but miss them. I've never even been this far from home before because I'm always with them.

I gave out another sigh. Master called me here where her adoptive mother resides. Grandma Chi is a kind person though she gets quite excited easily and let her emotions got the best out of her. That's why master couldn't leave her.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be around here..." I looked around the area as the tall buildings suddenly turned small. Their are also kids playing as their face are all dirty. Where am I?

"Oh no. Don't tell me I got lost again??!!" And my weakness kicked in once again. I have no sense of direction!!!
