Giles stood at the top of a huge skyscraper and looked at the Royal castle far away. She jumped down and flew towards the castle. She landed in the woods and ran towards the gate. She dodged the eyes of every guard and made her way in.

She jumped inside the castle from a window, her footsteps couldn't be heard and her black clothes covered her in the darkness. She ran through the halls and dodged all the cameras.

Finally, she reached a huge door and knocked at it. She pulled up her gloves and took out a knife in her hand. When the door opened, she looked at him in the eyes.

"Who are you?" Coelestin asked.
"I have a favour to ask for, your highness. It is about Ben,"
"I don't have time-"

She pulled the knife and almost pressed it on his neck but he held her hand. The tip touched his neck and it bled a bit. He pushed her away and removed his bracelet. It turned into a sword.

"It ain't fair if only one of us is equipped, right?" He smirked.
She smiled, "Doesn't matter, I will still win,"
He attacked her and she dodged him, jumping on his shoulder and rising into the air, he turned back and she kicked him on his face.

He grabbed her feet and slammed her on the floor. He almost dug his arrow into her skull but she brought her knife between them. She kicked him in his knee and jumped up. As they fought, the moonlight slowly lit the room. Coelestin tore the shoulder of her shirt with his sword.

"You're clumsy," She smirked.
"What?" He looked at himself. He had no shirt on anymore. Even his metal armour had been torn to pieces. He didn't even know when that happened. His back was hurting. He tilted his head and looked at his reflection on a mirror. He had knife marks all over his back.

He looked at her. The moonlight lit up the tattoo on her shoulder which read "777 Assassin,"

He had heard about them. Stories of 777 Assassins cult; they don't have a heart. And their knife skills are beyond human perception. There is nothing they can't kill. They rule the underworld.
But Coelestin always ignore
ed them believing they were just another urban legend.

Now, one of them was standing in front of him. He kept his sword on the floor and sat on his knees, "You are here to kill me?"

She smirked, "Of course not, your highness. I'm here to ask you for a little favour,"

Coelestin looked at her. She pressed the knife into her boots and sat on the floor with him.
"I'm paired with an ANDROID"

"Talk about a deadly combination," Coelestin said.
"Thank you," She smiled.
"Anyways, how can I help you?"
"I want you to reopen Ben's case and give it in the hands of Andreas Mikaello. Surprises are waiting for you there," She licked her lips.

She jumped at the window sill, "By the way, free realization," She turned towards him,

"At this point, you are nothing but a royal puppet. Try making your position and judgement stronger, it will bear fruit" She winked and jumped out of the window.

She reached Egypt in the next one hour and stood at the platform of the spare time machine in the clouds. "Valorie, I'm here," She said in her mind. Suddenly, her body glowed blue and she closed her eyes.
When she opened them again, she was underwater.

She swam up and looked at her boots, "Great, so now my shoes are fucked," She was in a park. She closed her eyes, "Valorie..."
She walked through the streets in her half-torn shirt and black leather jeans. Finally, she stopped in front of a house.

She pulled out her tongue and then licked her lips, "Tastes like Valorie's breath,"

. . .

Evelyn opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling. Water was dripping on his forehead. He felt as if he was drenched. He got up and looked around him. His bed was drenched in water.

He got down and stepped on the wet carpet. It had been a routine for him now. He went towards the bathroom and brushed his teeth. He took a bath. He wore a wet sweatshirt and wet jeans and walked downstairs. It was a Sunday.

He could hear the exuberance in the living room. He walked in and saw Jimmy, Lupin and Axel with Slaine and Valorie.

Jimmy looked at Evelyn, "Hello Evelyn! My boi Slaine said you guys are going to Queens next weekend!"
"We are?" Evelyn looked at Slaine.
"Yes," Slaine smiled.

"Oh well, nice I guess. You will come too?" Slaine asked Valorie.
"No, he said it'll be just you both,"
Evelyn was elated but he chose not to show it on his face, "Cool, I'll buy a surfboard,"

"Hey Evelyn,"
"Hello Axel, why did you dye your hair?" Evelyn looked at Axel's blonde head.
"To annoy Slaine," Axel laughed.
"You don't have to dye your hair to annoy me,"

"Oh my God, no wonder Evelyn is rude. You set an example!"
"I don't give a fuck," Slaine and Evelyn said together. Everyone else started laughing.

Valorie's eyes glowed blue for a moment and then lost their colour. He rubbed them again.

"Evelyn, you colored your hair too? They are more dusty blonde now,"
"Nah, it changes itself,"
"I mean, sometimes hair colors change as you grow up,"
"True,"

"But you," Jimmy looked at Axel, "You're fifteen now, you still look the same as when you were thirteen"
"I'm a late bloomer, shut up,"
"What the heck were you doing in Philadelphia though?"

"Selling our property there, nothing much. We had an auction last week,"
"I see,"
Slaine cooked the breakfast while Evelyn stood beside him in the kitchen. Everyone else chatted among themselves and watched television.

Valorie suddenly ran towards the door. He opened it and Giles stood right in front of him. She hugged him tightly.
"How are you?"
"Barely fine," He said.
She looked into his eyes. Her brown cheeks glowed red as she pressed her fingers on his blue eyes.

"You are cold,"
He gently held her wrist and pressed her fingers over his lips,
"Then, make me warm,"
She smiled, "Gladly,"

Jimmy whistled, "Aye, Valorie has a ladylove,"
Valorie moved away from Giles and looked away. She giggled, "Hello guys,"
"Hi babes! Yo, Valorie, can I call her babes?"
"I don't care," He walked back in. Giles walked after him.

"Axel," She said and Axel turned towards her with an ice cream scoop in his hand.
"You haven't grown at all," She laughed.
"I remember you. You were with Valorie,"
"I'm always with Valorie. Like a shadow,"
Valorie rolled his eyes.

"Can you fix these?" She threw her boots on the table. Axel kept his ice cream aside and looked at the shoes, "Yeah, I guess. Hey, Elron,"
Elron brought Axel's toolbox in his mouth.

"Good boy,"

Axel began fixing Giles' boots.
"So, there's this businessman called X controlling Prince Coelestin. And from what I know, he got Ben in this shit," Giles said.

"What about Lucifer? Didn't he save Ben?"
"Yeah about that... Lucifer is dead. We lost all signals from him a month back."

Everyone was dumbstruck.
"You're the only hope now," She looked at Valorie.
"Everything is falling apart..." Valorie said, "If only this X dude didn't show up,"

"He has most probably hidden Ben somewhere. I went to the prison to meet Ben. They presented me another dude. I just quietly came back... Something is rotting up there," Giles said, "He has one weakness though," Giles took a deep breath, "I'm only guessing,"

"What is it?"
"A chick called Veronique. She is always with him, she is the only one who can probably help us."
"But how do we get her to side with us?"
"That's what I ask you, Valorie," Giles said, "I told you to be ready with a plan. Did you make a plan?"

"Yes," Valorie said, "I have,"
"Good, what's the plan?"

'I wish Lucifer was here,' Valorie thought.

Lucifer turned back. Ameradite looked at him, "What happened?"
He looked over at the horizon, "Nothing..."
