Chapitre 24: The Beginning

After roughly some 20 minutes, they gathered at the main gates of the castle where Aeneas along with Athena, Chloe, Merida, and Nicholas were waiting for them with a well-prepared horse cart. Griffin and Diana were keeping Evan and Jason busy at the camps. "Vivi, please look after our brother." Nicholas asked her in a worrisome tone to which she replied with a bright smile, "Yeah sure, I will brother Nic." "Hey, you! Don't you dare let my brother get in trouble or I'll come and haunt you, idiot?" Merida was yelling at Aeneas for the last few minutes and she now just threatened him. "Hey! Kid save me from this little dragon. How come you are so different? I need to get stronger or she'll catch up to me in no time." Aeneas jumped behind Theodore and asked him. "Cate, be careful. Be sure to not get in trouble okay." Chloe was talking to Catherine while holding her hand. "Let's go!" Theodore said looking at Aeneas. "Yeah, the little prince has grown courageous huh? Let's get going then." Aeneas then climbed up the driver seat as he wanted to do so. "After so long I am driving. I hope I don't kill someone on the road." Hearing him say so others froze for a moment. "Just kidding. Hop in." He then replied in a humorous tone. "Yeah, see you all real soon." Theodore and others waved off Athena and people as they left the castle grounds. "You wore that pendant I see," Vivian said. "Yeah, I thought it would work as a lucky charm for me," Theodore replied while looking at the pendant. It was just as beautiful as ever. "So, you both are something, right?" Catherine asked them with a smug look as she pets her Spirit pet. "Where did that come from?" Vivian replied to her question with a blush. "Yeah you think so too right, I kind of don't get the idea though feels the same way to me too." Aeneas also commented to which Vivian just got red again and started looking away. Theodore on the other hand seemed puzzled. 'Something? And why am I feeling this heaviness in my heart? Whatever, I need to find out about this whole thing about Serena and the planar secrets.'
