If the diary changed color when Ian touched it, perhaps it would work for the others too. Or it could be just that Ian was near it. Seto decided to test the diary. The next morning he found Quentin inside his room. "Hey Quentin," Seto greeted him, striking up a conversation.

"Hey Seto, what do you need?" Quentin asked.

"I'm wondering if you've seen Mitch and Jerome?" Seto said while glancing down to see the diary turning orange between his arms. Quentin frowns, thinking about when was the last time he saw those two. "I think they went out to the other village. They won't be back until the afternoon."

Seto thanked him and slowly walked away from Quentin's room. When Quentin closes his door, Seto took out the diary. He found some writing but most of them are just drawings of various animals and food.

Since Mitch and Jerome aren't here until the afternoon, Seto sent around to try and look for the others. Seto spotted Sky heading towards his room with papers in his arms. He tails himself until the diary turns red. However he was unable to read what was written due to the fact that all the words are jumbled together and pages are torn.

Seto found Ty outside in the housing section, chatting with other people. He stayed long enough for the diary to glow purple. Unlike Sky's, this one is easier to read. Seto frowns as he reads it. It talks about the End. The End was.. an odd topic. There was almost no mentions of it elsewhere.

Jason took a while to find. Seto found him walking around with a troubled look on his face. The diary turned green. Inside is what Seto deems to be a good diary. Almost all the pages were filled. The whole diary talks about life, love and friendship. Near the end of the diary are many descriptions of people and what they do and like. Some pages were ripped out.

Makes sense because he's the Virtue of Kindness..

Seto couldn't think of anything but their reincarnations that written these. It would explain why only the Virtues can open these. Which ones is the question. There doesn't seem to be any names in any of them.

Seto will have to look into that later.

Ty have been feeling uneasy ever since Jason had his incident. He couldn't shake off the feeling at all so he stick close to people. Now he is with Sky, sitting on a bench outside of the castle.

Something must have been on his face since Sky asked him if he was alright. Ty nodded his head in response.

"You look pale, are you sick?"  Sky asked.

"Yeah I'm fine. I'm just tired." Sky frowns but didn't ask anything more.

"Hey!" Ty looks up to see Mitch and Jerome grinning and heading over towards them. The two must be back from the village. "We got some buttered bread!" Jerome shouted, holding up a bag. They went over to Sky and Ty, Jerome giving a loaf of bread to each of them. Ty bites onto the bread, grinning as he was feeling more as ease.

'Don't lower your guard too easily.'  Ty looks around, eyes widening. Did I hear.. that? Ty looks at the others but they were laughing at some joke. Uneasiness came back to him, swallowing hard on the bread. It didn't seem like they heard anything but Ty is sure that he heard it. It was as if the speaker was next to him.

Ty joined in on the conversation, hoping for the feeling to go away.

Jason went back to the same area again. Sure enough, it was still there, confirming that it wasn't a trick of the eye. He stares at the space, trying to figure what exactly it was. If he looks closely, he can see the space around it getting distorted. Jason reaches out towards it, his arm getting distorted in the process.

What is this? Jason wondered as he pulls his arm back out. I should tell the others.. Jason was about to head back when he hears a voice.

'Hello?'

Jason stops, turning around. "H-hello..?" There was no response. He frowns. "That's strange."

'Hello.. you.. you can hear me right?'

Jason looks around, bewildered. "H-huh?"

'Can you.. hear me?'

"Yes.. I can.. but where.." Jason looks at the space. "Don't tell me you're that.. thing.."

'No it's called a ripple.. I'm stuck inside..'

"You're stuck? Wait I'll go get-"

'No! Don't leave me! Listen.. I need help'

"How can I help?"

'Come closer and stick your arm in, I might be able to get to the other side...'

Jason steps closer to the ripple. "Alright.. Just hold on." He slowly sticks his arm inside. He watches it get distorted and then suddenly disappears. He panicked and tried to pull back but he was stuck.

"I'm.. I'm stuck?!" Jason shouted out.

'Don't panic!' Suddenly he started to feel like he is being pulled in.

Jason tried to scream but he was too much in shock, the ripple devouring him inside. His vision blurred into gray. Jason became light headed as he looks around. It seems like he was in the same area but it feels off. Jason notices a person in front of him.

The person has a ragged open black short sleeved jacket with a dark blue shirt underneath with the sleeves of frayed. He also had on dark blue pants with brown shoes. Jason didn't pay attention to the clothing but to the person's face. He seems to look like Jason but he has bright, white eyes.

"Welcome to the Mirror Realm, my friend."
