"Everyone and everything is made up of energy ", Ruby tells Pika who stares at her in a dark hall filled with shelf of old unused books and a door with one way in and out of the room. Both of them standing, Ruby looking at the only source of light in the room , a burning candle between them , continues ," in this world , everyone is made up of Aest..",

"Aest?", Pika asks with curious eyes as Ruby continues ," yes , Aest , it is the energy flowing with us , and everyone has a certain type of Aest ",

" Type of Aest?." Pika murmurs with the same look in his eyes.

"Yes , for example , i am an equipment type Aest , in fact , you can say i was born to become an equipment type ", Ruby tells as Pika replies with a ' wow!!",

",My Aest provides me with superhuman strength , with accuracy and speed with a sharp and quick eyes that allows me to excel using any weapons i so desire" Ruby teaches as he interrupts in awe and curiosity," how do we know what type of Aest we are born to be ?!".

"You will eventually know through your trainings , or a mage can look through you and let you know what type of Aest you have to be!", Ruby replies continuing as she raises her arms and faces both of her hands half a meter wide , closing her eyes , she focuses on the gap between her palms .

As Pika wonder what she was doing , a bright blue coloured circle , as though made up of a blue flame, emerges out of her chest .

"This circle represents the vessel of the energy , thats my body , and look inside it , what do you see ?", Ruby asks opening her eyes , as Pika notices a spiral shape flame inside the blue circular vessel.

" there's a blue .. something.. like a spiral... ", Pika replies looking surprised as Ruby replies ," yes , that's my type of Aest i was born with."

Resting her arms down as the blue structure goes back into her chest , she continues ," like that , different Aest users have different structure of Aest arranged inside of them. " Ruby unbuttons her black shirt as Pika wonders .

Unbuttoning till just above her breasts , she reveals a black tattoo mark above the cleavage of her breast, exactly like her Aest , which she showed Pika before , and adds ," Everyone that are able to use Aest have a mark on them , to represent the type of Aest they are,"

" what do you mean by " everyone that are able to use Aest?" , can't everyone use their Aest? ," Pika asks with his shocking eyes as Ruby replies ," well , in order to be an Aest user , you have to dedicate your time and energy for long period of time , and with power comes responsibility , one can't risk not being able to control their Aest leading to their own deaths. ", Ruby replies as she buttons her shirt back.

"I wonder when will i realise my type of Aest !", Pika wonders staring into his palms as Ruby informs ," you won't have to wait for that. Lord Den is a powerful mage , he will surely look at it soon."

"Mage??? Thats cool,....!", Pika wonders as Ruby smiles at her young junior.
"Come now , focus! , you still have more to learn ...", Ruby exclaims as Pika gives his full attention knowing his life was about to change instantly.

"Sighs!!", Den sighs in his study , writing on sheets of papers which lay scattered on his table , as an old quill pen lay about in the ink pot with its partner being used by Den , an evening gong is heard twice in the far away city of Rosendale from the city's clock tower which distracts him from his work.

"Is it evening already ?", Den thinks turning back towards the window which faced the city , he stares at the evening sun with his blue eyes as the echo of the gong fades away , a door knock is heard.

"Come in !", Den orders as Aurther partially coming in replies ", yes my lord , ", pausing for a second , he adds ", i have bought the Mayor as requested".

"Oh , let him in !!",Den exclaims smiling and gets up from his chair to greet the Mayor as Aurther opens the door as the Mayor walks in alone , discreetly , with concerned eyes. He had a fatherly figure with a beard , looking older then he actually is due to his tiring work , he removes his old hat , revealing his dark hair as Aurther closes the door and stands by it.

",Ahemm !!", the Mayor clears his throat asking ," what is this nonsense ?! Lord Den ! You dare stop my escorts outside your mansion and bring me alone !", nervously stuttering in his speech , Den grins staring at the Mayor going on his complaints about disturbing his busy schedule , " Click!", Den snaps his finger making the Mayor unable to speak.

The surprised and shocked Mayor , moves his jaws as he struggles to let a word out , grabbing his throat with his hands , he desperately tries to blurt out a word , confused and processing ,he continuously looks at Aurther and Den .

", Quit your meaningless jabber , Mayor , you're under my magic !", Den replies smiling as he walks towards the old man who stares at him , frightened as his eyes bulges and stumbles back as Den approaches him revealing ," yes I'm a Mage , is that a surprise?,"

Struggling to hold his ground , though scared and terrified , the mayor hears Den.
"I've been informed by the Elites that the Cooper's investigation is still been pressed , and i've found out that it was you who was pressing the investigation ." Den pauses with an unhappy look continuing ," do you want to arrest me for not having the alibi as the heir ? Or do you want the position of the Lord ? What do you want?".

The mayor struggles to answer with anger as Den apologises ," oh I'm sorry , i thought you weren't done with your jibber jabbers!". Snapping his fingers Den turns back looking at the city as the mayor coughs and shouts ," How dare you ! You don't belong here. And as a mage i strongly suspect you murdered the Coopers to take their property ... ",

"How much do you want ?", Den interrupts him as the mayor asks again ," what do you mean you murderous swine!".

"How much gold pieces do you want ?", Den asks as the mayor is surprised as he continues ," this can go either way , I'll give you a fair amount of gold , you shut ,your mouth and the investigation or... ", Den replies turing back at the old man ," I'll destroy this city along with the Elites , and everyone in it!".

"It's a shame , I quite like this city!", Den murmurs facing the mayor who drops his hat , unable to speak due to shock.

Moving towards his table , Den holds out a bag of gold coins weighing almost 5kgs and throws it in the mayor's foot replying ," there's enough gold in it for you to build a mansion somewhere in a small city and declare yourself a Lord."

Leaving Den's mansion with the bag of gold , the greedy mayor gallops away with his escorts, deciding to add the gold to his present fortune which could last his whole life and his childrens , instead of leaving Rosendale. Feeling a little colder in his empty head , the mayor vanishes into the city.

"One can forget simple things after one gets what they want , " Den murmurs staring at the forgotten mayor's hat on his study rooms floor , continuing his writings as the evening passes away.
