"I see, so he Lucio is the key, is good that I didn't kill him" Said Demeter wile analyzing the information that Cat one and Cerberus gave her.

"He deserves it though" Said Artemis.

"Nevertheless, the question is… shall we hang over Lucio or no?" Said Demeter.

The four of them thought carefully, there many variables and consequences on this decision.

"If we gave him to Felipe, then we would become enemies of the Pentagates, the sovereigns of the south, and maybe of Alfonso's sister, princess Diana, however, if we don't, we would become enemy of the Boltors and the Veritias, one of them are the sovereigns of the north while the other one have the favor of the crown prince, prince Fernando" Said Demeter

"So no matter what we do…"

""We are screw"" Said the four in unison.

After some time, the four of them couldn't decide what to do, the opinions were half and half.

Cat one and Demeter were on the idea of giving Lucio to the Pentagates.

While Artemis and Cerberus were on the idea of giving them to Felipe.

"Anyway, we have one week to decide, after that, we need to make a decision, we go back to Wasteland Valley and contact the Pentagate family or the four of us go to Arcadia to give Lucio to Felipe" Said Demeter.

"I agree, however, we have stay here for far too long, I will send little blue to Wasteland Valley to inform Ribeiro and Deferio that we will take some more time to go back, also, I will send the little girls back, there mission has ended" Said Artemis.

Demeter nodded.

"Okay, I am sure that everyone is exhausted, so lets go to rest" Said Artemis.

Everyone them left Alfonso's room.

When they were going on their way, Cerberus suddenly paused and looked back to Alfonso's room. Them his eyes produce a dangerous light, he went on his way.

Before Artemis could enter her room, she felt someone behind him, without turning she knew who he was.

"What is it Cerberus?" Asked Artemis.

"I was wondering if you could tell me where this Lucio guy was" Said Cerberus.

"Demeter will get angry you know" Said Artemis with a smile.

"I don't know what you are talking about, I am just curious, that's all" Said Cerberus.

Artemis didn't say anything but lifted her arm and signaled with her finger for ten seconds, then she entered her room. Cerberus nodded and went on his way.

Just went Cerberus had disappear, a shadow appeared from behind him, it gorgeous silhouette was looking at the small puppy while disappear in a corner.

"Artemis and you Cerberus are too sentimental" Said Demeter while making a small sigh.

"I will only allow it this onetime" Said Demeter while disappearing.

..........................................…

Inside a cell in Tulip's manor.

A handsome man with brown short hair was sitting while looking at the ceiling.

"Damn, I can't even escaped, that bitch took too much of my soul, with one move of her finger, I am done" Though Lucio.

He knew his body really well, he knew that this time, he was in a precarious situation.

"Soul power it the core of every champion, every human has soul, however, we usually don't feel it, we know that it's there that's all, the ones who can feel their souls are the ones who are selected as champions. Every time we use "our gifts" we need to pay some part of our soul, however, that isn't a huge problem because we can refill our soul with some time, this refill is thanks to a connection towards the soul dimension, in the soul dimension, there are particles that, once we absorbed them, we can refill our souls, once our souls are "full" then the connection of u with the soul dimension its broken, however, with enough practice we can open the soul dimension even if we have our soul "full", once opened we can increase the amount of soul power that we naturally have, this step is the most crucial one to became a king among champions, however, this is unnatural, my soul power isn't recovering at all, it means that bitch didn't took my soul power, but she halt my soul power, how is that possible!?" Though Lucio.

In this world, the fact that someone can "steal" soul power its not possible, not even an emperor should be able to do that so Lucio was very conflicted right now, that's why he was quietly resting in his cell, without making any harsh move, he knew that the lack of information was a fatal weakness so needed to be totally sure that his soul can recover to actually try to escaped.

Unknow to Lucio, someone make his way to his cell and was looking at him since some time ago.

"Hey"

A voice cut the train of thoughts of Lucio.

"Who?" Asked Lucio.

"Lucio Pentagate right?" Asked the voice.

"Yeah, who is speaking?"

Suddenly, the lights were out.

In complete darkness, Lucio's heartbeat began to beat faster.

"I heard that you cut my friend's eye" Said the voice.

From the darkness, a pair of huge blue eyes appeared in front of Lucio scaring the hell out of him.

"Who's speaking!?" Lucio couldn't feel calm anymore.

"You think that losing part of your soul was your punishment?" Asked the voice.

"You couldn't be further from the true"

The pair of blue eyes grew bigger and bigger, they were almost at the same size as a human!

"I will make sure that you beg me for death" Said the voice with coldness.

.............................................

Alfonso was lying down on the sand while grabbing the cane of Chronos. He had been thinking and trying to comprehend the concept of time, stagnation, however, nothing comes to his head.

"This is quite difficult" Though Alfonso.

"Chronos talked about essence, right? Essence of time… mmm…."

"Maybe… those green particles?" Though Alfonso.

He wanted to try his luck, after all, he had been lying down like an idiot 3 whole days without making any progress.

He opened his left green eye, the pain came immediately, however, he tried to endure it.

"The particles…" Thought Alfonso.

What he saw after he opened his left eye was the same world however, floating in from of him, were small green particles. Alfonso lifted his hand and touched one.

*BUZZ*

Suddenly the particle entered in Alfonso's body.

Alfonso felt a warn feeling inside of him, however, for some reason, he also felt… hungry.

"Let's take some more… ouch! Nope, nope, let's wait until the pain goes away" Alfonso couldn't endure it more and closed his eyes, as he do so, the particles also disappear.

Alfonso didn't notice, but went grabbed the particle, something poked his head from the sand. A small green head looked at Alfonso curiously.

"HIzzz~"
