Chapter 3: Elias's decision


Nao and Kaito managed to climb out of their teleportation as she looks at Kaito, "So, what shall we do from here?"

"Well... we can try to look for a inn. We can stay for a while and brainstorm there. " Kaito suggested since he felt kind of bad of making Nao leave her family . 

As they walked through town, Nao brought herself a disguise that nobody would recognize her as she pulls her hood up . 

Kaito looks at her blushly as she asks, "What's up?" 

"N-Nothing. It's just that you looked great in that . You really thought things through, haven't you?" He asks. 

"Of course, I did! I mean, if the Faiths are still out there, it's best to not be recognized immediately, right? " 

Kaito was silent for a moment, then he nod, "Yeah. You're absolutely right about that. Since you have the Eternal Flame, it's no doubt that they'll come searching for us ." 

They managed to find an inn that is called, "The Poisoned Gate" and miraculously that they have a private room. 

"What a relief! I'm grateful that we pulled that off without anyone suspects us." Kaito said, as Nao was silent, thinking about her family she has left behind. 

Meanwhile, back at the house, Elias and his dad was cleaning up the broken pieces of the window that Nao jumped from. 

Neither of them had said a word since that disturbing invasion. No one ever suspected that Nao would do something so reckless, and so irresponsible. 

Elias finally spoke up , to clear the awkward silence, "I can't take it anymore! Why would she do this?!? 

Why the hell that she decide to jump through the window like that? Who were those people and why they after her?"

His father never seen his son so furious at his sister, considering that they both get along with one another. 

In that moment, he couldn't help himself and laughed. 

Elias looked at his father so curiously that he heard his father laughed . He never seen him smile since his mother passed in the War. 

He said, looking at his father, "That's the first time I've heard you laughed since Mom passed. I never seen you so happy. " 

His father said, "Oh, really? I guess so, huh." 

Both of them were completely silent, not to know what to do, until Elias knew that he had to follow his younger sister and persuade her to come back home where they belong. 

"Dad, I made my decision. I'm going after Nao." Elias said. 

"Oh. " His father said, "Are you positive you want to do this? She wouldn't be pleased with this decision." 

"I have to. Nao is my younger sister after all, and she did say that she doesn't know how to fight, remember? I will bring her back, I promise." 

He packed his things and set off to find his sister. 

Nao looks at the mark on her hand as she was still in disbelief that she was destined to end the War of the Three Kingdoms. 

"You feel ok, Nao?" Kaito ask her with a curious stance. 

"I'm sorry, Kaito. It's just that things been happening too fast. I was just an ordinary girl with a simple life, now I'm the one who is destined to end a war that lasted forever? I lost my mother with this war." 

Kaito said, in total symphany, "I didn't know that. Hey, listen, I'm going to help you with this. Besides, since you have the Eternal Flame, you need a helping hand of controlling that power. " 

The girl seem to be grateful that she has someone she can rely on , to help her understand of the situation. 

"Thanks, Kaito. " She said. 

"Any time you want to talk , I'm here for you, whenever you need it. " He said, cheering her up. 

"So, um, where shall we go next?"

"I was thinking of Baia, it's a small town and we might need someone to teach you some fighting skills for self defense. " He advised. 

"Well, let's get some sleep then. We'll leave at sunrise." Nao said, as Kaito nods as went to change in the bathroom. 

Nao thought to herself, "I hope that Elias and Dad will be ok . They wouldn't be in any danger if they stay behind . " 

Unknown to her, her biggest fear might be the least of her worries as someone was watching over them silently in the shadows.
