Chapter 15: Chapter 15: A Girl Frozen in Time

The next day, Athena wakes up alone. She stood up and yawns as she stretches her body. She heads towards the closet when she notices something amiss. Athena then stops to think while sitting down as she opens the closet, seeing a one white rose fully bloomed. Athena then smiled before she laughed when she stood up and got ready. A sudden knock was heard from the door, which she answers by asking who it was and sighs when she hears the voice of the maid.

Maid: Your meal is ready, milady.

Athena: Yes, I’ll go.

She exits her room asking the maid to follow from behind. The two then went towards the dining room where she met Karim, who was there alone, eating food. She comes closer to the Giant as she calls out his name, giving him a pat in his back when she reached. In shock Karim turns around and sees her, he tries to greet the maiden but almost choked, for his mouth was still full. Athena lets out a sweet laugh and went to the opposite side of the table, asking for her food. The maid then asked what Athena suggests she would do to the flower, Athena replies and tells her she’ll hold on to it for now. The maid then bows as she exits the scene, the two then started to eat their food when Athena decides to ask Karim something in the meantime about something that was on her mind.

Athena: Hey~ what should I call you Big Guy?

Karim (confused of the lady’s bright mood): Karim is fine milady.

Athena: Okay then.

Karim: Did something happen milady?

Athena: How bold of you to ask…

Karim (surprised how she switched back): Forgive me

Athena: But since I’m in a good mood, I’ll answer… No, I just have something in mind.

Karim: You may ask me if you want, I will answer with what I know.

Athena: I see… Hmmm… For starters, why do you follow him?

Karim was surprised by her question that he actually stopped chewing. He puts the utensils down and looks at Athena, who was looking back at him whilst cutting the steak. Knowing that she was serious, he carefully thought of what to say and looks at her once more before answering.

Karim: Because he's different

Athena: Different how?

Karim: His Highness thinks of nothing but of what would benefit his people. He does what is best for all of us

Athena: Hmmm... Interesting, so you’re saying the other nobles don’t do the same?

Karim: No, my lady, but his actions speak for himself. Nobles or other Royalties would let someone else act for them…May I ask why you chose that question?

Athena: Just curious

After eating, Karim stood up then and bowed. Just before leaving Athena stops him and asked where he was going. Karim answered saying that he was heading towards the training camp. Athena then excused him and went their own ways. After waiting for quite a while, she got tired and decided to look for Lugh since the time of their meeting is near. After walking for a while, she finally reached the conference room where she saw her Father, Dylan, and Lugh with King Julius, before the door closed. When she reached the door, two of the Royal Guards blocked her way, claiming that they were ordered not to let anyone in. She gave a smile which sent shivers down the spines of the guards as she asked a question.

Athena: You’re new, aren’t you?

Dylan: Athena, stop it you’re going to scare them

King Julius: Let her in, she’s with us. Haha~ Greetings lady Athena, how long has it been?

Dylan: Stop it Julius... What is it honey? Do you need something?

Athena then started to walk towards Dylan, Her father. Dylan, who was surprised, greeted her with his arms wide was expecting her to go to him. Instead she continued to walk past him and stopped when she was beside Lugh, who was avoiding her gaze. When he turned his head, her arms were crossed while her foot started to beat the floor

Athena: You left without giving any notice, I let it slide for the gift. You were the one who decided to go together… Now you’re about to start without me?

Dylan: I-I’ve been ignored...

King Julius: Its fine Dylan, they’re growing up.

Dylan: Shut up i wasn’t talking to you.

Lugh: A-ah yes.

Athena: Since I’m already here, where were you when you stopped?

Lugh: I-I’m asking for permission for another mission.

Athena: You’re not thinking about that again are you? You’re ruining the mood you built when you gave me the flower.

Lugh: I just don’t like the idea of you being in harm’s way.

Athena: Harms way? Do you doubt me?

Lugh : I-I don’t, that’s not the point Athena...

Athena: Your Majesty, with all due respect…  I ask for you to reject his request. Both he and his team aren’t prepared for this mission.

King Julius: I understand lady Athena, but who else would go? Nobody is more capable.

Athena: I understand, that’s why I also ask for permission to take over this mission with a unit of my choice

Dylan: I agree with this, my daughter has the capability to finish the mission.

Lugh: Father! you can’t be considering thi-

King Julius: THIS… is very complicated situation Athena, you are needed for the rift. Without your guidance our Kingdom would be vulnerable to an ambush. We must avoid any weaknesses

Athena: The Rift wouldn’t be a problem Your Highness, you would only need to clear those near the gate until I return. As for my safety... I’m sure I haven’t let you down right Father?

Dylan: That is true Julius... My daughter has never failed a single time, I believe she can do this.

Dylan pushed his chest out proudly.

Lugh: Father, let me do this mission. I will not fail again.

King Julius: I’ve decided, Lady Athena will participate in the mission.

Lugh: Father!

King Julius: But you will go with her, both of you will gather a team of 5 members, you two included. The Military has been losing good candidates. Sally will also be there to report. But if something wrong happens, I will terminate this mission. Any objections?

Dylan: As for the Rift…

King Julius: Yes, Dylan will take command until Lady Athenas return

Athena: Your Highness, I would prefer if his Highness, the prince, could stay and regain his health.

King Julius: If it is his wellbeing you’re worried of, the mission can be delayed… We don’t have to rush knowing that country must still be going through your little confrontation…

Back in the Kingdom of Chisaiki, Dain was interrogating the captured Rogues. The two were chained inside a cell while Dain was on the other side, facing them in a one-way mirror, holding his tablet. He began asking questions of their identities but just like before they were silent. Dain knew this would happen, after receiving the report from the other interrogators. Instead, he decided to put down the tablet and entered the cell. The two were surprised of his appearance, when the Bomber started mocking him but to her surprise the Sniper hushed her, telling her to stop. Dain, who saw this, let out a sigh as he sits down in the opposite side of the cell.

Dain: Hey, why dont we try this again?

Jade (Sniper): What makes you think our answers would change? Why did you enter? Do you think showing yourself would change anything?

Dain: Well its much better to talk face to face right? And whether or not you can break those chains… I do not mind… I know you can kill me, but I also know you wont

Jade: An interesting thought… May I ask why you think so?

Dain: Because other than Kaiden, im the only one who understands you

Rogue Bomber: Understands? HAHAHAH~ this guys funny

Dain: I should thank him… For I knew he wasn’t lying,  I was given enough time and prepared for it in advance

Jade: He isnt the type of person who lies in such a serious moment

With that said, Dain had shown them that he wasnt in any way against them. After figuring out that the story of the Rifts were true. The two continued the interrogation still going nowhere other than a few little details. During this, one of Dain's subordinates suddenly entered the room with confusion written all over his face, Dain asked what was wrong. The subordinate answered, saying something happened to the container of where the hostage was. He asked what they did and the scientist answered that they finally found a way to open it, and are working on how to decipher the rest of the code. Dain was surprised, as he stood up and looked at the two before he left. Knowing that he heard them, he was worried of their actions. But to his surprise, Jade was unfazed. Dain chuckles as asked the guards to unchain them saying that they couldn’t get out of the cell either way.

Jade, who was surprised by this, told him the rest of the code, saying that he only did it knowing that they wouldve opened it anyway, but adds something on top of that, saying he believes that they weren’t the only ones who needed the girl. Dain was reluctant at first but accepted the mans decision to help. When he reached the Lab, he went to the Container and deciphered its code. The Container then opened as cold air came out. After it disappeared, was a girl with red hair. He reaches for her body, when she woke up because of his actions. Knowing that she was awake, Dain quickly but carefully carried her out of the container and laid her in a Portable bed and started to check her vitals, when she suddenly started grunting.

Dain: Hey…hey... Calm down, Youve been frozen for a long time. Stay down and rest

The girl then started to whisper out words that he didnt know. Now that he had a closer look, he saw a small but sharp horn in her forehead. Which brought back his memories from the rift, knowing the demons inside it had the same horns. Although he was concerned, he believed that the girl was different, seeing as she had a human body, and using the Snipers words to convince himself. Later on, the girl regained her senses as she opened her eyes, seeing the young man beside him. Who took a small device from the table before heading towards her. Thinking that he would do something bad, she struggles as she tries to escape. After breaking out of the locks, she fell down realizing that she was still weakened from the frozen state.

Dain: Hey! What’re you doing?

Dain puts down the gadgets and came to her, holding her shoulders when she suddenly headbutts him, starting her attack. Dain didnt want to fight back, so kept blocking her strikes. After a couple minutes of aggressive struggling, Dain managed to lock in a small device on her neck and one on her head. The girl then kicked him away as she started freak out trying to remove the neckpiece, thinking it was something dangerous. Dain then stood up after getting knocked down and faced her.

Dain: Stop that, it wont hurt you. The one on your neck is for protection, and the headpiece will help me understand you by sending information of my language to your brain

Girl: H-huh? I understand you

Dain: And now that you can. Go back to the bed, I wont hurt you I just need to check your vitals

Girl: Bed? Vitals?

Dain: Vitals show the status of your body

Girl: O-oh... Vital is Lifeforce

The words she spoke was translated to the closest meaning in human language which can be seen in the Lab’s gadgets. The girl then looked around seeing the scientists who became afraid after seeing her attack Dain. The girl then looked back at Dain who was holding his neck which was scarred from her attacks from earlier. After figuring out what she did, she looks at him and throws a syringe which was the first thing she saw

Dain: Wh-what are you doing?!

Girl: Apologies for past

Dain: O-oh... I see… No worries, now try to rest and not throw anything.

Girl: Okay

Dain then continued his research on the girl, while looking at her in awe. He excused the scientists from the lab while the two started to talk. Later on, Dain was happy that she had finally loosen up to him. He realized that she was considered as a half-blood. He gave her sheep and pigeons which she then ate by sucking the lifeforce, which was to Dains understanding, the air-like aura that appeared when the girl reached for the body making the body lose its soul, leaving only a hollow shell.

The aura seemed to have changed when he gave her different beings, and her horns started growing longer. Dain thought of teaching her, knowing that it was the first best way to understand her better. The girl then began her lessons with the help of the other scientists, who were ordered to do so till the end of the day. When dusk fell, Dain carried her from the lab to his private hospital room and left her there to sleep. While going to the room next to hers, a million questions came to his mind. "Who is she? Why was she taken? What use did she have for the Rogue" The day ends he anxiously went to sleep, thinking about the possibilities of the following day.
