It was early dawn. About four o’ clock in the morning- a perfect time for witnessing the ripples formed on the water’s surface after Goldares go up on the water to witness the sunrise. Goldares are fishes in Spherea that are purely gold in color and only have a fixed quantity of 10 fishes in every millennium. When one of them gives birth, it dies and the offspring will take its place. It’s as long as 5 feet tall and as wide as 2 feet. Its gold glistering color is what makes it fascinating to look at especially when sunrise will hit its scales and you will be able to see its breathtaking beauty.

          Standing in the shore of Lake Ceto is Gianne Medive- the Guardian of the Hydro Zone. He likes to watch Goldares every morning since being one with water is his thing. Gianne walked and was just in time to witness the swim of the Goldares. While looking at them go, he simply smiled. Just in time when the Goldares where back underwater, Robin arrived.

          “A pleasant morning to you, Guardian of Hydro.”

          With a bow, Gianne replied:

          “A pleasant morning to you as well my princess.”

          “What brings you here Gianne?”

          “You just missed it! The Goldares- They were such a fantastic view!”

          “Golden fishes only in Spherea. That’s too bad. I didn’t get to see them.”

          “Robin, they’ll come out every morning. You can always watch them some other time.”

          “Well, the fishes aren’t the ones why I’m here. I came here to talk to you.”

          “Me? But what’s the issue?”

          Robin grabbed Gianne’s hand and let him follow her to sit in the benches facing the view of the lake.

          “Let’s sit here first. Look, I want to ask you something.”

          “What may that be?”

          “You’re one of the Angeles de Divinia right? The organization that aims to get the Divine back and maintain peace among the nations of Spherea?

          “Well, in fact, I am one of them.”

          “Make me one. I don’t care what it takes, just please make me one Gianne!”

          “But, will the Queen approve of this? What about Raven?”

          “I don’t care if it takes only me. Take me with you. I don’t want to be in cages inside of the Kingdom, feeling useless, while you go out and put your lives at stake! I know you get a lot to journey around Spherea. I can’t just stay here doing nothing!”

          With a quick move, Gianne gently held Robin’s  left cheak as he spoke to her face to face:

          “Robin, look. You really want to help right? We can do something-just the two of us. Since we still don’t have complete data about the Divine, we should go out to Land Gargoudon and unlock the secret chamber to know all the details.”

          “But how about the code?”

          “I know what it is already. But it’s only between two of us.”

          Gianne looked left and right to see is someone’s around. When the coast was clear, he continued:

          “There are 3 major places in Spherea- The Queens Kingdom, The Valley of Reapers and the Place of Judgment by the Shjanomes. Second, there are 200 deceased clans in this world inherited from the clans from the human world. Third, there are 5 zones to be watched over on. Fourth, there are 5 elements. Fifth, there are 2 worlds- Spherea and the Human world. Lastly, there is but one fate for all of us-to walk down a path of righteousness.”
