They were on their way to Lestallum when it happens.

Nyx was driving. Nox Fleuret sisters sat in the back seats. Luna was asleep, her head on Stella's shoulder, while younger of the two looked out the window, watching scenery rush past her.

Then, Luna is jerked from her sleep as she and Stella were jerked forward, seatbelts keeping them in place, when the car came to a sudden stop, tires screeching.

"Shit, princesses, sorry," Nyx said as he turned in driver's seat to look at them, to check if they were alright. "Are you two okay?"

"Yes," Luna answered. "Why we have stopped?"

"We have a problem. "

The sisters looked in the front window saw they were almost hit a Garula. They were usually peaceful, but if provoked could be dangerous. And by the looks of it, Garula was going to attack them.

They quickly got out of car and summoned their respective weapons; Stella shielded Luna and looked at the glaive.

"You distract it, while I escort Luna to the safe place."

"Got it," Nyx nodded, warping to the creature to distract it, so Stella could get Oracle to the safety.

They almost did it, when princesses heard a roar. They looked and saw what Garula was running to them.

"Luna, watch out!"

"Stella Nox Fleuret! That was reckless, very reckless!" Luna scolded her sister, few minutes later as they were returning to the car, with Stella being carried by Nyx bridal style.

When Stella saw Garula rushing towards her and Luna, the youngest Nox Fleuret pushed Oracle out of harm's way and took the hit; Fortunately, Stella wasn't seriously injured and only had not very deep cut, and torn clothes.

When Nyx managed to drive creature away, he and Luna ran to Stella's side; the older Nox Fleuret sister sighed in relief, then frowned seeing black corset-like top torn and injury on Stella's stomach; she ordered Nyx to pick her sister up, which he did, despite Stella's protests, and then Luna began to scold her sister for putting herself in danger as they walked to their transport.

Stella sighed.

"I know, Luna, but you know what if I didn't do it, you would be injured instead; and we can't have that; besides, I'm your shield and I gave oath to protect you."

Lunafreya's lips pressed into thin line at the reminded fact; for some reason, Ravus and Stella decided she needed protection the most, though she was the middle child; and when she became Oracle, Stella, who was only twelve at the time, began to train and year later said she wanted be Luna's shield. Both, Lunafreya and Ravus had been against this, but in the end, Stella became the Oracle's shield (the first in the history of their line) and gave oath to protect Luna from danger.

And now she was hurt because of it and Luna hated it.

"Oath or not, you are should be more careful, "the older Nox Fleuret sister said.

"Your sister is right, Your Highness," Nyx cut in the conversation. "You should be more careful and let me do the protection instead."

"Okay, I will be more careful next time, "Stella promised with a sigh.

Finally, they reached the car and Luna opened the door; Nyx put her down on seat and went to start the engine, while Luna treated her sister's injury.

Lunafreya placed her hands on either side of Stella's face, pressing their foreheads together, so she could heal the injury, but the younger blonde leaned away.

"Don't use your powers," she said. "Save them for healing people infected with the scourge and upcoming covenant with Titan. Besides, the injury isn't serious, I just use the potion."

"No, "Luna shook her head. " The potion won't heal it right; Let me do it instead. "

"But if you use your powers, you'll feel tired afterwards," Stella argued. "And you must be fully rested to awaken the Archean."

"Let me heal you," Luna repeated. Her voice brooked no argument.

Stella sighed, giving in. There was no way to change Lunafreya's mind. She was too stubborn for that.

"Okay, "Stella agreed with a sigh. "Heal me."

Luna smiled, pressed their foreheads together once more, her hands on either side of her little sister's face, and murmured:

"Blessed stars of life and light. Deliver us from darkness' blight."

Light emitted from Luna's hands and younger blonde felt warmth as the wound healed, leaving no scar, only torn clothes.

"That's better," Oracle said, satisfied. "Now, we just need to mend your clothes."

Which they did, and then, sat into the car. Nyx started the engine and they drove off.

Luna hugged her sister. "Don't scare me like that again."

Stella returned the hug.

"I'll try."

And Nox Fleuret sisters and the Glaive continued their way to the Disc of Cauthess.
