"Can you please tell us what you know about it, Mother Theresia" [Alfin]
"Well, let me just said this, have you heard regarding the fairy tale called The Mother and The Fire Bird?" [Mother Theresia]
"Yes, we have" [Alfin]
The Mother and The Fire Bird, it's one of the old fairy tale story told to the children. In the story, it tell the story about a young couple giving birth to a twin, and since at that time, twin were considered an anomaly, the father try to bury the twin alive, but the mother, despite her condition, she run away as far as she could before collapsing due to exhaustion in an unfamiliar territory. With how perilous her situation were, she pray to the god to save her and the babies and during that time, the god send her a giant fire bird, which heal and invigorate her back to full health. Once heal, she was then being brought to the safe land. Before departing with the giant fire bird, the giant fire bird give the mother a magical fire stone and if anything arise, she simply have to call it through the fire stone given to her.
"I believe that's how most of the folklore tales about" [Azumi]
"There are some variation here and there but generally speaking that's the most widely accepted and use version" [Alfin]
"Still, by going with the scenario..." [Guz]
"A giant bird and a fire stone..." [Lydia]
"Sound very familiar..." [Emma]
"No need to look at the both of us like that, It's clear as day what you guys think" [Azumi]
"Sorry" [Guz, Lydia, Emma]
"No no no, I'm not scolding you though. It's just that it's clear that we are thinking of the same thing" [Azumi]
"That the giant fire bird is the Fire Spirit Phoenix, whereas the fire magic stone is the same one that Mahsuri have given us" [Alfin]

"And how can you Further help them by telling this story?" [Queen Zanariah]
"Well, long times ago, I have come across the said stone during my time as Kingdom of Aster, though obviously now it have been stored to keep it safe" [Mother Theresia]
"I see" [Alfin]
"And that's not all, there are some rumour that have been spreading around during my day at the holy kingdom" [Mother Theresia]
"And that is?" [Azumi]
"That the previous leader have manage to tame such a magnificent beast, comparable to that of the giant fire bird" [Mother Theresia]
"!" [Other]
(I really have to ask him, not only regarding the ADA group existence, but also regarding this one) [Azumi]
"But the rumour been quickly dismissed right?" [Azumi]
"That's correct" [Mother Theresia]
"But you know what they say, when there is smoke, there is fire" [Queen Zanariah]
"It's worth to take a note regarding this matter" [Alfin]
"Still, that mean that the both of you have to go to The Holy Kingdom of Aster not only to confirm this, but also to gain the spirit's blessing" [Guz]
"That's quite a suicidal quest" [Lydia]
"What about asking The Holy Knight Glimary?" [Emma]
"Well, we can do that" [Alfin]
"We should do that, but we also have to confirm it ourselves" [Azumi]
"But if both Teacher and Princess Alfin goes there right now, or rather even if both of you goes any other time, it will be difficult as they hate the both of teacher and princess" [Guz]
"That's true" [Emma]
"Well, not like we have any other choice, to begin with, even just by breathing, they have hated us. So it's only natural that we will face more resistance" [Azumi]
" That's true, but we better save Phoenix blessing for the last or the second last one, so that thing calm down a little bit. That way, we can atleast reduce the risk eventhough by just a tiny bit" [Alfin]

"Still, that were quite useful information that you give us Mother Theresia" [Azumi]
"True, I never thought that I will receive this information when visiting you" [Alfin]
"It's fine, it's the least I can do to help and repay both of you" [Mother Theresia]
With the conversation come to an end, another familiar figure rush to those guys. Seeing the happy and complicated face that she makes, Mother Theresia ask
"What happen, Kucin?" [Mother Theresia]
"Good news and bad news" [Kucin]
"Good news is?" [Azumi]
"Brother? Sis Alfin? Your highness!" [Kucin]
"Just tell us the news" [Alfin]
"I have been promoted to B rank!" [Kucin]
"Congratulations!" [Guz]
"And I suppose the bad news is..." [Azumi]
"Brother, please help me train for the exam! I don't want to lose to him!" [Kucin]

His Trophy | Jerome Valeska
"Oh and Jim, Jim Gordon?" Jerome peered into the camera as if to yell out to an audience: "I have Rory here," he turned the camera towards Jim's daughter and revealed to the audience a girl that had been beaten and tormented, she was gaged and her eyes didn't look at the camera but above the lens; at Jerome who was holding the camera."Say hi to Daddy, doll face," he jeered from behind the camera. She looked down the lens and shook her head as if to tell Jim not to try. The camera went back to Jerome."She's a beauty isn't she, Jimbo," Jerome smirked into the camera, his laughter becoming harsh and wild: "and she's all mine, you try anything, and I mean anything, I kill her. She's my prisoner, my reward, and you're not taking her away from me Jimmy boy, on no, not this time" his words were spoken through waves of laughter.***Rory Gordan is the stepdaughter of Jim Gordon. Her mother moved a lot so Rory was born in Gotham City but raised in England and from the age of 10 she had been bouncing from one country to another with her mother. However, when she turned 17 she had grown tired of the constant change of moving and decided to move to America. It was when she was visiting her long term boyfriend when her life got flipped upside down, not only did she meet one of the craziest boys on the planet, but she discovered that she had a gift that would curse her forever. This story is a collection of scenes rather than a flowing plot, so its chronological but it skips scenes and jumps back and forth between different perspectives. The story is under editing, so it'll get more cohesive over time.••• I do not own any characters or plot lines from the tv show. However, all original characters like Rory do belong to me.Total Word Count [33,674]
