"Miss Aril, I just want to know.."
"Stop calling Miss ok!? It's awkward!" She shouted.
"Okay Aril, I would like to know how is the surface? I am really interested on what is on the surface Aril. Please tell me" He repeatedly asked Aril.
"There is a lot actually, mountains valleys the blue sky! People, animals everything you could imagine!" Aril said.
Then He moved closer to her and stared at her eyes and asked"What is your favorite part on the surface Aril?"
She then pushed him and said with a sad voice " My family, they were the world for me. Even though we were poor back then we were happy! Spending time! Eating together! Playing together! It was peaceful! But then a war broke, a lot of people died. Every time the news broadcasted it was another disaster brought out by the war. But the most painful one was.."
as she was about to continue an announcement was made by the system of the nautilus observer. " you have a arrived the surface! now changing the coordinates to Cagayan de Oro"
"Hmm! Enough of the chit chat! Let's get to work!" She then happily said.
He then followed Aril afterwards. As Aril started shouting " From here on now! We shall start to have ground rules! Rule number 1 : never call me Miss ever!!
Rule number 2: whenever somebody asked you what our relationship is do not! I repeat! Do not tell them that we are master and familiar! That would only confuse them.."

He then asked "what should I say then?"

"Whatever thing that is not master and familiar!
That is it for today! I will be adding more ground rules as our time together lengthens. Understood?"

"Yes Aril!" He replied being hesitant because he is not comfortable of not being to address her the way he wanted.
As they were about to reach their destination. The alarm went off. " warning hostile ship approaching your location!"
Aril being in bed, awoke immediately and ran to the cockpit. "What is this?" She then pushed a button to accept the transmission. Soon a man dressed in all black combat armor with goggles on appeared on the monitor. On his back were a lot of men, armed and ready to be deployed. The man then started saying : "We are the The Horus! Please hear the words of our beloved General Lilith"

A woman dressed in A Black military coat. Has a long white hair appeared in the monitor. It was General Lilith. She then declared her message : "Intruder! You are compelled to stand down wait for us to dock on your ship to arrest you for violating the law of simple theft. And also for trespassing on private excavation  site. You are compelled to comply ! I repeat stand down! And wait for our troops to arrest you!"

"Crap! We're screwed!" She said. "We need to find a way to get out of this mess!"
Then He appeared after hearing the alarm went off "Aril what is the meaning of this?"
"We have been asked to standby! They will arrest me! Or worst kill me!" Aril replied.
" I can't let them kill you Aril!" He said.
"Then help me! You have the power to kill a person with just your laser fingers!" Aril shouted.
"I can't you haven't given me my name yet. Therefore I can't unleash my powers for it is sealed." He replied.
"Okay!okay! I'm gonna give you, your stupid name then!" She angrily said.
" before you give me a name, there are some things you need to know. When giving a name to a familiar it needs to be two names just like a first name and a second name then you give me a middle name which is the key to sealing the pact when your done giving me my name."

"Okay! Im ready!" She said.
"Bring your left hand near your mouth, and say the names in order the first name, second name and finally the middle name." He replied.

They then heard the hatch on the nautilus observer being melted down. Men shouting and a lot of foot stomp outside.
