[IC] Ancients of Elan ~ Rise of The Chosen

[Card Captor]

'So she knows what this Sentinel thing is?' Nathan thought. 'I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. Although...if she knows, then who else does?' He wondered as he glanced at Meira. Once more deciding not to say anything to Reala to avoid provoking her. 'So she plans to enter the tournament too? That could be problematic if I have to fight her. While I'm very experienced at taking out people like her, there is still that seal on me. Sure my powers are all back, but for all I know, she could use it on me in the fight. Hell, if what I've heard is right, that would be a perfectly okay thing to do. This isn't looking good' scratching the back of his head in frustration 'I'm going to need to find a way to block her attempts at triggering it, otherwise I might not stand a chance. Or maybe I'll get lucky, and her pride will keep her from using it. Heh, what am I saying? I never get lucky.'

[Xeiyenreisha]

"Judging by how you are looking at me you think I'm going to pull a dirty trick when we meet in battle and you are dead wrong. I do not use dirty tricks to subdue my foes unless they are malicious. You do not fit that category. You know absolutely nothing about me and yet your body language is already telling me that you think I'm going to cheat. Think what you want if you want to think like a paranoid fool. Doesn't bother me one way or another." Reala said as she turned her attention away from Nathan with no intention of adding anything else to what she had originally said. After she had said that to Nathan a train pulled up where Reala grabbed her bag then began walking then said with her back turned toward Meira, "Do you plan on traveling with that bumbling idiot? I wanted to sit next to you on the train, but I'll sit behind you if that nuisance is going to sit across from you."

Meira looked at Reala and nodded as she followed her onto the train when it stopped and opened its doors. Both walked onto the train then took their seats in the middle of the car placing their bags up above in a storage place above their heads. The train became crowded quickly, but Reala turned her head to notice a short haired girl and another one with the same hairstyle as Meira along with some man who gave her a vibe that she should be cautious.

[Card Captor]

Nathan didn't buy that. There was reading body language, and then there was mind reading. This was clearly the later. Nathan absolutely hated having his mind invaded. "Stay out of my head Nathan growled at Reala. Once the train arrived, Nathan made sure he was at the rear of the car that Meira and Reala were on, as he was unwilling to be around Reala any more then he had to, but couldn't afford to let Meira out of his sight again. If he did, then who knows what Ranathia would do to him.

[Xeiyenreisha]

Meira and Reala talked to each other while Nathan sat over by himself until the train finally arrived at its destination. The conductor yelled at the kids it was time for them to get off and head for the school building. It was still a bit early in the morning so the students could hang out with each other until the first bell rang which warned them that they had five minutes before class started. Meira and Reala both walked off together passing by Nathan as they exited the train. They saw that their school was a very large four story building that stretched pretty far in both directions. There were four glass doors with lots of windows at the entrance and railings along the sidewalk as they walked up the steps toward the top part of the walkway.

"Oh hello, Alice." Meira said as she saw Alice had walked by her and Reala both. Reala was busy looking at her phone and Meira was thinking about Ranathia and how much fun she had to be having exploring ruins while she was stuck at school which really sucked for her. "Why don't you come sit with us. My sister won't bite so don't worry." She reminded Alice as she waited for her to come take a seat by the two on the steps leading up toward the entrance.

[Card Captor]

'I really hate my life right now. More then usual.' Nathan thought to himself as he trailed Meira and Reala. 'I mean really; this day just keeps on getting worse and worse' he lamented. As the girl from before (Alice was it?) came across the sisters, Nathan was barely able to suppress a laugh. 'Doesn't bite she says. She's seconds away from trying to bite my limbs off. Still, I did need a good laugh. As he was mentally chuckling, something occurred to him 'wow. I'm being surprisingly negative today. Well then again, it's not like anything good has happened to me recently, so maybe I've got a reason for my mood.'

[Alphakoka]

The ride on the train was mostly a quiet one, though it soon changed for Alice as she and the rest of the class saw that Princess Meira was in the same class as them. Murmur started to spread and even more so when said princess invited Alice, of all people, to sit near her. Alice fidgeted as she felt the eyes looking at her and looked unsure. She couldn't just ignore the princess' request, could she? She was still trying to make a decision when another one pulled her by her arm towards the two princesses.

"A-Anne!" Alice yelped toward the smiling girl that's pulling her.

"It would be an honor for her, Your Highness...es," the one called Anne said as she pushed a bewildered Alice forward to the seat. "She's a bit shy, but please take a good care of her."

The murmur died down for a bit before whispering replaced them, certain people could make out what was being said, which were mostly 'damn, should've thought of that.' The princesses could definitely feel that the eyes were all on them however.

[Xeiyenreisha]

Reala stood up then nodded despite not smiling was pleased to meet her. Alice probably noticed the gloomy look on her face and the sadness she showed in her eyes which were full of only emptiness. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Alice. My name is Reala. It's always nice to have more girl friends. Can't have too many, y'know?" Reala stressed the last word in that statement indicating that she may like girls more than she does boys. Though her she never gives an indication of that in her speech so one is only left to question what kind of person Reala is looking for if any person. Reala held out her hand in an attempt to shake Alice's hand.

Meira laughed in happiness glad to see her sister was actually trying to make friends. It's funny though, because earlier she said she didn't need any friends yet she was being strangely very friendly to Alice. It was a side of her sister that she had never seen before, but maybe Reala didn't like boys like her Aunt Ranathia. She was quite repulsive toward Nathan and she had heard she wasn't very friendly to Mithos either. "Hey what's up, Alice? By the way, tell your friend she can come sit with us too, okay?" Meira looked up for a moment as she saw Alice's friend push Alice toward the two.

[Card Captor]

Nathan's eye's widened at the sight before him 'what the hell...?' he thought in shock 'am I seeing things, or is she actually acting...nice?' Nathan rubbed his forehead 'the stress must be getting to me. Here's hoping I don't lose it. Nathan sighed. 'Why are they even taking so long to get to class anyway? Are they stalling? Because I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that' Nathan wondered, not sure why they were just standing around the entrance talking.

[Alphakoka]

"Ah, umm," Alice gaped, looking between the two princesses and her friend. She finally nodded, "It's an honor, Your Highness."

Meanwhile, her friend beamed at the invitation and nudged Alice with her elbow. "Oh! Right, um, Princess, th- let me introduce you Anne..nis Rosengard." She said before Annenis followed up. "I am honored, Your Higness. Annenis of the Rosengard family at your service."
They both then took a seat when the remaining students also scatter and took their seat, most were grumbling but a few had gathered the courage to approach the princess, but were unable to as the bell rung and a teacher went in.

Alice saw Nathan sitting on the back and gave him an apologetic gesture for the earlier problem with the overseeing teacher.

[Xeiyenreisha]

The boys from afar were admonishing the beauty of both princesses. One of them amongst the group stood up and looked over toward the two girls and then back at his buddies. "Hey guys, which princess do you think is more hot? Damn, that new girl Reala has a nice pair of breasts. Damn those things are pretty big for her age." He was interrupted by another one of the boys who replied with, "Yeah but Meira is one of the nicest asses you'll ever see. Though both sisters do have a nice set of chicken legs. Damn they're fine."

"Dude this so unfair, how does someone like Alice get to sit with the those two beauties? That and that bumbling idiot that accompanied them. Someone as dumb as he looks doesn't deserve to be in the presence of such beauty." He stopped as another one of his friends rose and answering. "Yeah, I know. We're going to have to teach that Nathan kid a lesson."

Reala looked at her friend and then nodded at her as she returned her hand back to her side. From the atmosphere around Anne, she could judge that she was quite friendly though when she about to say something she saw one of the teachers was watching. "Nice to meet you too, Anne." Reala said as she sat back down and continued to push buttons on her phone. As she was pushing buttons she recognized a familiar face where she yelled, "HEY DANNY! DIDN'T EXPECT TO SEE YOU HERE! WHY DON'T YOU COME OVER HERE AND TALK TO ME FOR AWHILE? I COULD USE THE COMPANY." But it was already too late since he had already went into the building. She decided she was wait for another opportunity to speak with Danny.

Meira peered up toward Alice then saw Anne had introduced herself where she smiled closing her eyes in a cheerful way, "I'm Meira Rystaliuskal. I look forward to working with you Anne Rosenguard. I've heard a lot about the Rosenguard family. Your father is ranked pretty high in the military from what I know. Though when it comes to politics, it's not one of my strongest suits." Meira didn't know Anne's father, but she had heard about him from her subordinates who kept her informed. She heard he was also a great man who served under the direction of Commander Rhadamanthus. She remembered Rhadamanthus appointed him as the rear guard to make sure no one attacked from behind within the capital of Windgrace.

[Card Captor]

Having been ambushed on the road, Nathen instantly recognized what the group of boys heading his way were about to do. Facepalming, Nathan thought 'sure, why not!? Give me more problems to deal with, I don't think I have enough yet!' Sighing, a addressed the incoming group of boys "can I help you?" he asked, even though he knew what they were here for 'I'd be surprised if any of them had combat training of any kind. And since I doubt they could get away with using magic like this on school property, that should mean that I'll just have to deal with physical attacks.'

---

As he was entering the school building, Danny thought he heard his name being called from outside. 'How strange. Who could be calling me? Pondering that for a second, he found himself coming up blank. 'Oh well, might as well take a look' walking back outside, he found a familiar face "REALA!" he called out as he waved to her. He rushed over to her "wow! I had no idea you were going here Reala." It was then that he noticed Meira "wait...you have a sister? You never mentioned a sister before. Come to think of it, I don't think you've talked about your family at all."

[Xeiyenreisha]

Reala was about to say something when she noticed the boys stopped when they were confronted by what looked to be another pink haired girl, but since her back was turned toward her, neither Reala or Meira could tell who she was. Meira knew that she couldn't be the girl from earlier. That girl wasn't as tall and her hair was styled a bit differently with it in one giant ponytail that was tied off toward her right side. The girl looked at the boys as she moved into a normal stance confronting them with a smile on her face, "Would you guys mind giving me a hand?"

Several of them drooled at the thought of helping a beautiful girl while a few others were in shock, because of her appearance. They couldn't believe what they just saw. They also couldn't explain how this girl reminded them so much of Meira who was sitting with her sister Reala. The same girl that hung out with their hated enemy Nathan, because they wanted to be closer to that girl. Not some lame old peasant kid that knew nothing about the world around him. "Sure, what do you want us to help you with, babe?" One of the boys grinned having dirty thoughts in his mind about what he could do that girl.

"I need someone to warm up on. You guys look good enough to spar with. So how about it?" The pink haired girl smiled as she smiled toward the boys though underneath her smile was a wicked grin that she was about to mop the floor with these punks.

"Warm up? We'd beat you to a pulp, little girl!" The boys laughed as they surrounded the girl. Each one of them had their own idea of what they could do with this girl, but she just shook her head. "Now be a good girl and behave. We aren't going to hurt you." One of them said as they tried to grab the girl's arm, but she dropped and into a powerful sweep which took his legs out right from underneath him and when another one tried to grab her from behind her fist flew in an upward position slightly over her shoulder as it made contact with his face then a whirlwind kick to kick him away."Why you bitch!" One of them yelled as they charged at the girl where she grinned then charged energy into her fist which was in the color of a very azure blue. The energy accumulated as it hissed and howled as she blasted wind around her due to her aura. Students had to cover their eyes, because of the brightness of the energy when she was absorbing it into her body. A few more boys tried to charge, but when she was fully ready to release the blast, she brought her fist forward in a powerful right hook releasing a massive discharge of energy in the form of a convergent blast which formed a blue dragon that was sent spiraling at her target. As that blast was prepared she turned in a one eighty and brought forth her left hand as hard as she could in a powerful right hook which released a similar blast. Both were convergent blasts in the shape of a serpent like dragon with their mouths wide open as they closed in on her targets. "Chroma Blast Caliber!"

Meira and Reala looked in shock as the boys were blasted by the energy writhing in pain as it burned them badly. They were then sent backwards landing hard on the ground when the smoke all cleared. The girl had the same grin on her face as when she released it and Meira and Reala were shocked when they saw the girl's face.

[Card Captor]

Nathan's eyes widened 'is that...no, it couldn't be...could it? Does she have another sister? I wonder what kind of lie she'll feed me this time. God forbid the animal know the truth, no matter how insignificant it is' Nathan snorted as he stood back and watched. Since he wasn't sure what she was doing here yet, he couldn't take action (he didn't even know what action to take). 'But she just blasted them with some strange kind of magic. Is that even allowed here? Better question; are they even going to be alright? They almost look like they're being tortured to death.'

Danny meanwhile was in shock over what had just happened, as he stared dumbly at the site of the incident. Not sure what to do, or even what to make of what had just happened.

[Xeiyenreisha]

"The name is Taru Zairaveisha. That was fun, can we do it again some time?" Taru said as she came into full appearance. The girl was wearing a short red dress with two thin shoulder straps that held on her body. You could see the straps of her bra that the straps laid over neath and her short dress came down to her upper thighs. She wore a pair red and black sandals with no socks. It was apparent Taru enjoyed their little skirmish since she had her eyes closed laughing in joy.

"Oh sorry, Danny. Hello to you too. My mind was taken in by the sudden appearance of that girl who looks like Meira and yes Meira is my sister. We are twin sisters, in fact." Reala apologized as she turned her attention away from the pink haired girl who had just mopped the floor with a group of boys. That kind of energy she used wasn't one that Reala knew about. That attack also looked a lot like the Elan Blast Caliber except she used her fists and instead of palms. She also used a one eighty twist to launch the second one.

"That girl looks like..." Meira paused as she found herself unable to finish that statement. She was in shock when she saw a girl who looked exactly like her. Her appearance down to her eyes, nose, chin and face resembled Meira perfectly. What was going on? She thought in her mind as she couldn't find any explanation of what just happened in her mind. That girl sounded like she was having fun when she was fighting those boys? But where did she come from and who exactly is she? She said her name was Taru Zeiraveisha. Don't exactly recognize that name at all.

[Card Captor]

"Oh...um" Danny rubbed the back of his head a little sheepishly "yeah, that was kind of shocking." He chuckled a little bit. "But a twin, wow. I don't think I've ever seen twins before. It's so weird. I'm really surprised you never mentioned her. I would imagine having a twin would be something that would come up in conversations rather easily. Wait, if she's your twin sister...then that means that she's a princess too. Oh wow, twin princesses. This is starting to feel like something out of a fairy tale."

[Xeiyenreisha]

Taru saw a group of people staring at her that were seated near the entrance of the building, she walked over while teachers behind her were talking about something. Most likely what just happened after Taru took out several boys who were about to jump Nathan. She walked over toward the people having a seat while her sister was standing with a man right behind her who all watched what had just happened a moment ago. Taru knelt down onto one knee as she spoke toward the group, "Oh hello, Nathan." She paused as she looked at Nathan. She then directed her attention toward Meira and Reala, "How are you doing Meira and Reala?" Meira and Reala both looked at this totally confused. How did this girl know their names and also know Nathan's name? What exactly was going on? The other students were still stunned by the sudden appearance of the pink haired maiden as they could only stare onward unable to say a single word as the students suddenly went very quiet.

Meira nerves jumped in her body when she heard the girl call her name. Not only did she look just like her, but now she knew her name? Who was this mysterious girl and why was she there in the first place? Meira was completely left speechless like the rest of the students and it didn't look like Reala could get off a word either. She was about to answer Danny, but the shock from what just happened now made it difficult for either of the girls to speak.

[Card Captor]

Nathan snorted 'yep, just like I thought; they were triplets, not twins. Of course she knows who I am, why wouldn't she? I'm starting to think it was a mistake to come to Windgrace. Sure things were pretty good at first...but then the attack happened.' Nathan held back a sneer 'damn, this school thing is starting to sound a lot better. If anything, it'll get my mind off of everything for awhile. Maybe it's just what I need.' Deciding that he had enough, Nathan walked past the girls to go to the classroom, saying "I'm going on ahead" to Meira as he passed her with a level and controlled voice. He failed to notice Danny. Once he got to the classroom, he took a seat in the back. That way, he would be able to keep an eye on Meira.

Meanwhile back outside, a still very confused Danny asked "um...who was that guy? He sounded like he knew you. Also, why would he need to tell you that he was 'going on ahead'?"

[Xeiyenreisha]

"Taru." A voice said coldly as it revealed itself to be the same man that was standing there earlier, but when he removed his veil he looked like a very young man with long silver blueish hair. The man was wearing the same school uniform the other students were wearing except he wore a very large black duster over top of it.

Taru eyes dazzled when she saw how handsome this person she knew looked like when he was younger. She couldn't contain her thoughts of how much of a hunk she thought he looked like. All the other girls were falling over their selves too over the good looks of this man. They had never met such a mysterious handsome young man in their school before. "Wow Sentius, you are a looker when you were younger. I can't believe that you are the same Sentius I knew when you used your other body."

Sentius despite all the girls going wild over him ignored them all. He didn't really look like the social kind since he didn't even answer Taru's compliment about him. He didn't have time to waste with girls going wild over him. He had unfinished business he had to attend to and first he could do it by testing the balance in the area. Enrolling in the school was a perfect opportunity for him to gauge the area and the damage it had taken from one month ago. He heard a fool destroyed a vital pillar and it damaged the Chrono Sphere barrier. Like usual, he didn't say a word remaining very quiet.

"Oh sorry, Sentius." Taru said apologetically as she rose to her feet and walked away from Meira and the others. It was obvious that Sentius didn't want her to intermingle with the others, but she wasn't entirely sure why.

Reala couldn't contain her self-interest for this man she just saw. She had never in her entire life seen someone look so handsome and so self-reserved that he immediately piqued her interest without a second thought. "Excuse me, sir? Sentius you said your name was?" She said as she thought to herself where did I hear that name before? She continued to think about it until it came to her. The former leader of N.E.M.E.S.I.S. and an enemy or that is what she thought he was. But he didn't look as dangerous as he did back then. There was something very different about him now. Not just by how he looked, but she knew he was older than this. Did he change bodies by chance? If that's the case, he would be able to use his full power, but I'm sure he lost all his experience and has to regain it through combat. That is the one bad thing about changing bodies.

"His name is Nathan." Meira said toward Danny since Reala looked to be charmed by the sudden appearance of the new mysterious looking high school student who mesmerized all the other girls too. "Forgive Reala, she's in a trance over the beauty of that handsome young man. I can't contain myself from being allured by him either." She gawked as she was getting over her head also swept in by the appearance of the young fellow.

[Card Captor]

Danny tilted his head in confusion "um...okay?" he found the reactions of Reala and Meira to this new guy quite bewildering. Danny honestly wasn't sure what to make of any of this 'huh...Reala didn't seem like the type to just stare at a guy like this. Girls are just so confusing' he thought to himself. This whole incident had made him forget what he even wanted to talk to Reala about, so he decided to just leave "well...okay. I...just be getting to class now. I'll see you later Reala" he said to her as he slowly started walking away from them, and to his classroom.

[Xeiyenreisha]

The girls heard the first bell where they finally knew it was time to head to class. Meira and Reala followed them as they stopped by their lockers to place materials they didn't need in there before walking into their class room taking a seat. When Sentius entered the class room he was being followed by a horde of girls as he took his seat. He was still wearing his duster from earlier refusing to take it off. The seat he took was right next to Meira. Meira and Reala both took their seats as the girls started to fight over who sat closest to Sentius. Some of them were even thinking about kicking Nathan out of his seat so they could sit close to him.

"HEY THAT'S MY SEAT!" One of the girls said as she picked up the chair as four others grabbed each one of the legs in a tug of war contest of who was going to get the closest seat to Sentius. They knew not to pick a fight with Princess Meira since they would hear about it later from the board.

One of the girls walked over toward Nathan and gave him a very wicked stare that they wanted his seat. "Hey you there! Yes, you!!! Why don't you go sit over there! That's where all the losers sit anyway! Just like that kid." She added as she pointed her finger directly at Danny.

"What in carnations is going on?" The teacher asked as he walked in to the sight of girls fighting over seats that were closest to his new student. "I should have known that new transfer was going to be a problem. Why do girls fall for guys like that anyway?" The teacher sighed as he tried to think of some way to get the class to settle down so he could take roll call.

"These girls are like heathens." Reala said as she couldn't stand the sight of girls falling over just one guy. Then again, this was a guy who attracted her interest, but she couldn't allow that to exploit any weaknesses from her so she decide to remain silent for the rest of while.
