CHAPTER 1: “SUNRISE”

The Ascent of the Sun clears the darkness, surrounding the land. It brings a light that moves everywhere within it’s reach. Another day, another start. Some of the light went inside a hut and waking a Blonde girl from her slumber. She lifts herself from bed and readies herself. She walks with a pair of cold green eyes. She hears the smooth flow of water, in the river nearby together with the chirp of the birds, a sound describable as peaceful. She walks outside and watches the river. She knew that it was truly a peaceful view, and then the door of the hut made a sound, like someone pushed it suddenly.

“NIKOLA!” a voice from the hut interrupted Nikola’s concentration.

The Blond lady looks back with a cold gaze. She sees a man around his 20’s scratching his head. Annoyed, Nikola looks back and walks nearer to the river. The man walks out of the hut with his heavy feet.

“Nikola! I can’t believe it! I have lost again! This is unacceptable!”

“The sun has just risen and you’re already trying to annoy me, Arthur.” Nikola said while looking at the direction of the river.

“I just can’t believe it! I mean, I’m always losing to a girl!” “Oh this is such a disgrace!” Arthur says.

“I’m not trying to win over you, you’re just thinking that. And if you’re talking about me, waking earlier than you, Then It’s you’re fault for always sleeping late. And besides, I’m not joining you’re lame childish games.” Nikola walked nearer to the river.

“Childish games? I’m not a kid anymore! Keep in mind that I’m older than you, so you should be respecting me more often.” Arthur said.

“True, you’re older than me in body and age, but in mind… Heh.” Nikola smiled.

“So now you’re saying that you’re mind is more matured than mine?” Arthur said.

“Good you got it.” Nikola says while looking at Arthur.

“You’re rude Nikola!” Arthur answered.

“Go away from me” Nikola answered while turning around to look at the river again.

“Excuse me for interrupting this little conversation. What are you guys arguing about anyway?” A guy from the hut came out.

“Ask the monkey.” Nikola answered

“So now you’re saying that I’m a monkey?” Arthur replied

“I didn’t know that you’ll get that easily. So you’re not brainless at all, But still a monkey.” Nikola said

“So now you’re saying that I’m brainless?” Arthur says and Nikola Nods.

“You’re Evil Nikola!” Nikola answers with an evil smile.

“Excuse me for interrupting again, ah, hey Arthur will you come with me to the marketplace?” The Brown haired man interrupted the two.

“Me? Marketplace? What’re we going to do in there?” Arthur says while scratching his head.

“What do you think?” Nikola said.

“I don’t know?” Arthur looked to his left and held his chin down.

“You truly are brainless, Brainless monkey” Nikola’s words were calm.

“Hey! I’m not brainless!” Arthur replied with one of his arms behind his head.Nikola looked at Tristan who was smiling.

“Hey Tristan-” Nikola’s words were interrupted by Tristan.

“Nikola, Call me Big Brother” Tristan replied with his point finger pointing to himself.

“Nikola stopped for a moment and continued.

“Buy some bread”

“Okay” Tristan counts the coins from his pocket and looks at Nikola.


“Well, we better be going now” Tristan pulls Arthur’s Left arm, when…


“Ah Tris-” Nikola’s word’s where interrupted again.

“It’s Big brother, Nikola” Tristan words were immediately followed by Nikola’s words.

“Keep a good eye to that monkey beside you”

“Don’t call me that!” Arthur joined in

“Sure I will” Tristan replied.

Arthur Looked at Tristan at an annoyed face.

“I doubt that he will be a good monk- Brainless monkey,

in the marketplace, He might start a ruckus or something” Nikola Added.


“Why you!” Arthur replied.

“Someone pushed the door of the hut. Interrupting the three outside.

“What a lovely day! Good morning everyone! A man with a shirt beard spoke. Hubert is his name.

“Morning father,” the three replied.

“Now now, you shouldn’t fight with each other, you might hurt yourselves and that’s not good” Hube replied.

“Oh, Father” Hube looked at Tristan. “I and Bra-“Arthur looked at Tristan in a mad way.

“I mean Arthur will be going to the market place now. Bye!” Tristan pulled Arthur’s Left ear.

“Have a safe journey!” Hube replied.

As Arthur and Tristan walked away, Nikola walked to get a big basket, and walked to the woods.

“I’ll be collecting some firewoods” Nikola said.

“Okay be careful” He replied.

“What’s dangerous about collecting some firewoods? Words that Nikola muttered as she goes to the Woods.

Hube waved his hand to bid goodbye, and as soon as he saw Nikola going farther, he lowers his hand and slowly closes his smile. He Lifts the axe from being stacked at the tree trunk remains and starts to slice the remaining firewoods near him.


~
Nikola doesn’t give even a small glance to the smiling Hube; she looks straight to the direction that she is heading, Together with the basket on her back. She walks to a place where she knows there will be some firewood. She eventually fins some and looks at it. She lowers her body and examines the woods if it is best to use as firewood. She puts them in the basket and stands up to look for some more. Immediately after looking around, She spots more under a big tree. Seeing that they weren’t wet, She reaches for it and gets a hold of it. Then she feels something piercing her hand. As an impulse, she let’s go of the wood and looks at her aching hand. She stares at it, as a small amount of blood rushes out. She was thinking on what she will do to stop it when:

“Nikola! Where are you?” Arthur’s voice echoed.
Nikola pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and tied it to her bleeding hand. Arthur then spots Nikola’s basket and goes near it. He then sees Nikola kneeling In front of the Big tree.

“So you’re here too” Nikola Muttered

“Nikola, so there you are, Tristan told me to ask you: How many loafs of bread do you want us to buy? Arthur replied

“Tell him to buy 8 pieces of Round bread” Nikola replied while looking at the firewoods and trying to hide her wound.

“Ah Nikola, Why aren’t you picking those woods, they look like they’re suitable to use as firewoods, Let me help you with that”

Nikola uses, her left arm to pick the woods, avoiding the wood that pierced her hand. Arthur looked at Nikola, puzzled on why Nikola is using her left arm, Instead of his Right arm. As soon as she had put the other firewoods to the basket, She stands up and carries the basket.

“Is something wrong with your right arm” Arthur asked.

“It’s none of your business, Brainless monkey” Nikola replied

“Aha! You must be hiding something from me!” Arthur said with a smile. “Come on, Show it to me”

“Mind your own business” Nikola said

“Come on, show it” Arthur added

Arthur pulls Nikola’s right arm and saw a handkerchief tied to it.

“Are you hurt Nikola? Come let’s go back to our hut and cure that”
“I’m fine. Don’t worry about me” Nikola Replied.

“You know that a single wound can cause you lot’s of problems” Arthur stood up and continued.

“You should be more careful Nikola, Just like me.” Arthur raised his chin up and placed both his hands to his waist.

“I’m a very careful man” “So careful that I don’t get any wounds or catch any illnesses, unlike you”

Arthur pointed his finger to Nikola who was silently listening to Arthur’s words.
“Who wants everything in her own way” Arthur continued

“Doing things that you should be thinking first. Why won’t you listen to your smart, good looking and nice brother! I could be a role model for you Nikola!” “Use your brain; - wait who is the Brainless monkey now? Arthur laughed, then steps back a little. He then steps on a dry twig, it cracked.

“I think I stepped on something. I wonder what it is.” Arthur muttered while looking at his back.”

“Probably, accurately, my patience, cracking” Nikola said with a very calm voice.
Arthur looks back to the direction where Nikola stands. Arthur stayed silent.

“Didn’t I tell you, to mind your own business?” Nikola said while picking a long
wood from the basket and holds it like a sword. Arthur steps back a little.

“N-Nikola, you know that sword fighting is something that should only be used when fighting an enemy.” Arthur said while trying to smile.

“Am I holding a sword Arthur?” Nikola replied while looking at Arthur.
“N-no?” Arthur replied while stepping back.

Something from the woods came closer to them but they didn’t notice.

“Then this is not sword fighting!” Nikola ran towards Arthur and swung the wood to Arthur.

“Nikola stop it” Arthur answered while trying to get away.

Nikola swings the wood once more and hits Arthur. Arthur falls down. Nikola looks at him.

“You were lucky Arthur. This isn’t a sword.” Nikola says while looking at the wood.
Arthur holds her right arm, which Nikola just hit and stands up.
Nikola looks at Arthur with a cold gaze. Arthur looks down to the ground.

“when you nagged to me about this small wound, you annoyed me” Nikola continued .

“If I said that It isn’t one of your businesses you have to go away from my sight already, I can take care of myself, ALL BY MY SELF” Nikola paused, Arthur stayed silent. Someone behind them started to speak.

“Ah, as stubborn as ever, you have really not changed at all” Arthur looked at the man who just spoke.

Nikola was surprised to what she just heard. If anyone knew of her skills to hold the sword, they might force her to enter the army or be killed for having skills that a man should own and is banned from everyone except the guards and royalties. Nikola dropped the wood. The man went down his horse and the wind blew. He removed his hat. Nikola turned around and saw a brown haired man looking at her.Nikola turned around and saw a brown haired man looking at her. Nikola felt something different. She knows that person.
The man smiled and spoke, breaking the silence between them.

“I’ve come back home, Nikola.”

(haven't thought of a better name T-T) bb

[jeiru01]

CHAPTER 2

Arthur looked at the man which made Nikola silent. He saw the wood fall down . The man smiled at Arthur and offered his hand to Arthur
Arthur refused and stood up by himself and brushed the dust off. Nikola looked down and arched her eyebrow down. Everything was silent

"H-hello? Are you both, still breathing?" The man looked at the two persons who were facing the other ways.
Arthur showed an annoyed face while Nikola stayed calm. Another wind passed by.

"Hellooo?" He asked again. He felt the coldness of the two.

"Oh wait" He ran towards his horse and opened a bag. "I have something in here."
He kept on looking and when he saw 2 little boxes he raised it.

"Tada! here is it." He looked behind him and saw the two walking away from him.

"Wait up! He returned the boxes, rode his horse and followed the two. Everything was still silent. He looked at his horse.

~~~

"Ahahaha!? Hube's laugh was loud.

"You caught them fighting in the woods? Ahahaha!" Hube laughed again.

"Ah father, I just wanted to know why Nikola?s hand was covered with that cloth." Arthur replied

"It's obviously because I have a wound? Nikola said before biting her bread. Hube stood up and went to see if the soup was cooked.

"Curiosity can lead to great discoveries, Nikola!" Arthur replied.

"Hmp, and curiosity can also lead you to death" Nikola answered.

"I was just wo-" Arthur's words were stopped by Tristan.

Tristan knew that If he didn't changed the topic, the two might wind up in a fight again.

"So, Conrart, when have you come back from England?"

Tristan said while Conrart didn't reply. Conrart was so focused on staring at Nikola, who was silently eating her bread.

"Hey Conrart!" Conrart went back to reality. Hube smiled while stirring the soup. Arthur looked at Conrart and muttered some words to himself "That's what you get for staring at my Nikola."
Nikola was still eating her bread silently.

"Huh?" Conrart looked at the slightly insulted Tristan.

"Could you please repeat what you just said?"

Tristan, who was kind of insulted, showed a fake smile and repeated what she said in a calm way.

"When have you come back from England?"

"I have just come back, this is the first place that I went after I stored my items in our house" Conrart said.

"Oh and why have you come back? Life in England is pretty much better than here." Tristan said.

"Well, I made a pro-" Conrart's words were cut short by Hube.

"ALRIGHT! It's ready!, Arthur could you please pass this bowls to everyone?"

Arthur stood up and grabbed a bowl that Hube passed to him. He walked near the table and passed the bowl to Nikola. Arthur stood up and grabbed a bowl that Hube passed to him. He walked near the table and passed the bowl to Nikola. Arthur didn?t look at Nikola. When Nikola was about to reach for it, Arthur let it go. The porcelain bowl fell down with the soup.

"N-Nikola! What did you do!" Arthur shouted.

"I did Nothing, You made that mess." Nikola replied with her eyes closed.

"W-what!" Arthur Replied.

Hube scooped two bowls of soup and gave them to Nikola, Conrart and Tristan. He then scooped two more and sat at the table. Arthur was still standing and pouting at the soup when:

"Let's all thank for the grace, Little ones" Hube said.

"Hey! What about this mess down here?" Arthur said while pointing at the spilled soup. Tristan, Nikola, Hube and Conrart told a prayer.

"Let?s eat!" Hube replied.

"Hey!" Arthur replied.

"Hey, you saw it, so go wipe it." Nikola replied.

"But!" Arthur replied.

"Are you going to wipe it or not?" Hube replied in a scary way.

"Yeah. Arthur, Nikola?s right, you saw it, so go wipe it" A voice said. Everyone except Nikola looked at the window behind Nikola. Nikola drank some of the milk in her cup.

"Oh it's you!" Tristan shouted.

"Hey you're Conrart! Remember me?" the girl smiled.
Conrart tried to remember the girl. He reminisced something from his past. He remembered a girl who threw a frog at him. He was so scared that he ran away and stumbled to the eight year old girl Nikola, which he:

"K-kissed?" Conrart muttered to himself.

"Huh?" Arthur replied.

"Continue your wiping job? Hube answered scarily to Arthur. Arthur continued to wipe the spilled soup.

"You-you're Gi-Gi-Se-La!" Conrart said.

"Wow, you have a pretty sharp brain you have in there, Don't worry, I don't have any frogs with me. I just ate it? Gisela said and smiled.

"hi there!? A soft voice came. Conrart looked at where the voice came from.

"Hi Alphonse! And there?s Ulrike too!" Tristan replied. Conrart became silent.

"We're here too." Said a voice.

"Alford? Kuitan? Elisse?" Arthur replied. Conrart Smiled.

"Hey- are you finished already?" Hube said while looking at his spoon.

"Yes I am!" Arthur said "I have wiped it, cleaner than your porcelain bow!" Hube didn't look at Arthur and smiled. he took the broken bowl and placed it inside a bag.

"Come in!" Hube said. Tristan smiled. The six persons outside went inside the hut.

"Conrart! You're here! Say, Bro, You have something for me huh?" Alford said.

"There's Probably something that you have for us, Jut like how the Blood vessels transport the blood to the different parts of our Body?" Ulrike said.

"------" Elise didn't say a word.

"So, How was it in England?" Kuitan said.

"-----" Alphonse also didn?t say a word. Conrart answered with a smile.

"What's that smile supposed to mean?" Alford said.

"Anyway, since Conrart is back, this calls for a celebration!" Gisela said.

"Right here? Right Now?" Ellise said.

"Hey! Ellise spoke! Maybe her Trachea and windpipe is Fine now." Ulrike said.

"You guys! Stop rocking the table, will you! I'm still eating my breakfast!" Nikola shouted.

Everyone stopped talking and waited for Nikola until she finished her breakfast. After eating her breakfast, Nikola stood up and looked at the visitors in a cold way. The visitors stopped moving. She walked to the direction where she can wash her bowl, and washed it. And to relieve the gloom, Tristan spoke:

"So, you guys want some soup?"

Words that replied were: "No thanks." "I've already had one" "I already ate my breakfast?" "I'm still full."
Arthur who has just finished her soup, stood up and spoke.

"Let's all go out and show Conrart how this place has changed since he was gone, I'm sure he missed this!"
Everyone went out but Conrart decided to stay and wait for Nikola who was washing their dishes.

"You seemed to grow a lot, Conrart" Hube said while looking at the tree at the window. Conrart answered with a smile.

"When I saw you coming from the woods with Nikola, Arthur and your horse, I knew that It would be the start of something new."

"New" What do you mean by those words sir?" Conrart said.

"Oh you will get my drift" Hube said and then smiled. Conrart secretly sneaked near the broken bowl and looked around him. he saw Nikola washing the dishes and Hube smiling at the others. he stared at it and placed his right hand on top of it. The once broken bowl became whole again. he once again looked around and went near Nikola.

Nikola was already finished of washing the dishes and wiped her hands. Conrart went near her and looked back at Hube. Hube nodded. He grabbed Nikola?s hand and spoke "Let's go out, Nikola." Conrart pulled Nikola?s hands and Blushed. But she stayed a serious look on her face.

"There you are!" Alford said

"We've been waiting for you!" Gisela said.

"Let's catch some frogs!" Gisela said.

"F-frogs?" Conrart said and Tristan smiled.

"Let go of me already" Nikola muttered to Conrart. Conrart let go of Nikola's hand. Tristan showed an annoyed expression.

"Are we going to Eat it or Dissect it to study it?s inner body parts?" Ulrike said.

"----" Ellise didn't say a word.

"Ulrike, Your giving me the creeps" Arthur said.

"---" Alphonse didn't say a word, and scratched his head.

"Hey! Hey! Wait for me! Am I late?" A voice from the woods came.

"My, my, Grysdel, of course you are late!" Kuitan said.

"Oh." Grysdel said. Nikola smiled. Arthur stood up from sitting in front of the river.

"Hey guys! I caught a frog!"

"Ah those kids, they really don?t change, I wonder what you?re doing up there, Julia." Hube went near the bag where Arthur placed the broken bowl and smiled after seeing the bowl, whole again. He lifted it up and placed it inside the cabinet. He took a necklace out of his pocket and stared at the others who were teasing Conrart with a frog.

[well, this is what came inside my brain, Ill make it better next time. ]

CHAPTER 3:

“Good Morning Nikola!!!!” A voice so loud, that Nikola woke up and thought that something bad might have happened. Nikola lifted his back and looked around to see if something bad happened. She then sees Arthur smiling and showing a big grin to her.

“Arthur, So it’s you, I should have known” Nikola said.

“Rise and shine!” Arthur said.

“I have already risen.. monkey.” Nikola said.

“A- ah, wait. I’m missing my point.” Arthur walked a little closer to Nikola and pointed Nikola. “Nikola! I have beaten you! Boahaha! I

woke up earlier than you! Thanks to that Frog, I have one point!” “Now, you will suffer!” Arthur said.

Nikola blocked her nose with her left hand and spoke.

“You’re Nasty Breath is suffering enough.”

“Huh? My breath?” Arthur tried to smell his breath.

Nikola then leaves her room and sees Tristan and Hube at the table.

“Good morning Nikola.” Tristan and Hube said.

“Morning father, Morning Tristan.” Nikola replied.

“It’s BIG BROTHER remember? Tristan added.

“So how was your sleep?” Hube asked.

“Suiting as always.” Nikola said. Nikola did her morning rituals before going outside. Arthur ran straight to the bathroom after Nikola went outside. Nikola started to walk outside when:

“There! My breath isn’t like hell now! Arthur shouted.

“Now I’m going to list my point to our score paper!” Arthur gets near the study table and gets a paper, he then opens it and looks at Nikola. “Here I go!” Nikola said while holding a pen. “Arthur, one point and Nikola, ninety-six points! I’m getting good at this! I’m going to surpass your record! “

Hube smiled. “Oh he has a looong way to go” Tristan said.

Back at Conrart’s house:

“Rise and shine Brother! Wake up, Wake up! It’s your first day here!” A little girl said while trying to wake the sleeping Conrart. Conrart opened his eyes. His eyeglasses where given to him by the little girl.

“Good morning Beatrice.” Conrart says while wiping his eyes.

“Hurry, Hurry!” Beatrice pulled Conrart. Conrart wore his eyeglasses.

Conrart went down and saw the table with foods. Beatrice sat down.

“Good morning Conrart, How was your night?” Andine said.

“It’s very appreciating, Mother.” He replied.

“Very well, Let’s all eat now.” Ruther, Conrart’s father said in a serious way.

“Say, brother, after breakfast will you come and play with us outside?” Beatrice said.

Conrart swallowed the food that he was eating and spoke:

“Certainly, yes.”

“That is great!” Beatrice replied.

Ruther looked at Beatrice, She knew that It meant “Silence”. The look at Ruther's face is somehow piercing to the heart. A look that is cold and strict. Conrart saw Beatrice looking down and continued to eat the food on her plate. They finished their foods and changed their clothes. Ruther stayed silent and after finishing his food immediately grabbed his hat and coat and went to ride a carriage. Beatrice pulled Conrart to their yard and showed a little Flower to Conrart that was about to bloom.

“Brother, I have planted this for you.”

Conrart smiled.

“Do you know what is this flower?”

“Mother said that it was a Bluebell.” Beatrice replied.

“Bluebells have long been symbolic of humility and gratitude. They are associated with constancy, gratitude and everlasting love. Bluebells are also closely linked to the realm of fairies and are sometimes referred to as "fairy thimbles." To call fairies to a convention, the bluebells would be rung.”

“Wow.” Beatrice said.

“It’s very amazing, Truly one that should be considered a splendored gift, Thank you.” Conrart said.

Beatrice smiled and looked down. Conrart asked Beatrice why she was looking down and holding her chin.

“I haven’t welcomed you yet, properly.” Beatrice answered.

“Oh. welcome me then” Conrart replied with a smile

“Welcome home, Brother Conrart!” Beatrice replied with a Grin.

Conrart patted Beatrice’s head while smiling. Conrart saw Lyla, one of their maids and called her.

“Lyla, I’m going to take Beatrice and we’ll be visiting Sir Hube’s hut”

“Yes, young master.” Lyla replied.

Conrart took a horse and rode on it with Beatrice. They then reached Hube’s Hut and saw Alford running away from Gisela. They both went down the horse. Then he tied the Horse’s rope to a tree.

“Come back here! You!” Gisela says while running to catch Alford.

“Now look who’s here, our dear friend, Conrart.” Kuitan said in a gentle way. Everyone looked at Conrart and encircled around him.

“Hey Conrart, do you know what day is today? Alford asked Conrart in a sneaky way.

“The day that you stole and ate my Fried frog! for the 7th time!!!” Gisela replied.

“Give it back to me!”

“Hey, hey, you should not change the topic.” Alphonse said.

“Hey Alphonse spoke! He spoke!” Arthur said.

“Shut up Arthur, You’re changing the topic.” Kuitan said.

“Hey hey! Guys are I late?” Grysdel said while running to join the encircled teenagers.

“Yes, you are. Hurry up and join us.” Ellise said.

“Hey, Ellise spoke!” Arthur said.

“Anyway, I’ll do the speaking. Today is the third day before Nikola’s Birthday and we’ll going to plan a little party for her.” Tristan said.

“Is Nikola’s Birthday really that near already?” Word that crossed Conrart’s mind. “Oh, I remember”. He muttered.

“Don’t you worry guys, I’ll sponsor the dish: Fried Frogs! Gisela said.

“That’s Nasty. There might be some harmful organisms in those frogs that might cause harm to our physical body!” Ulrike said.

“Ah~ I will sponsor it.” Conrart said.

“No! I will!” Alford added.

“I will.” Ellise said.

“Oh, Ellise spoke!” Gisela said.

“Ehem! How ‘bout we all bring the foods that we can make and serve it here.” Tristan suggested.

“That’s a good Idea, Mister.” Beatrice said.

“Ah, who is this girl?” Arthur said.

“Idiot! That’s Beatrice. Geez, what a weak brain you have inside that skull.” Ulrike said.

“Oh, I remember. Hello there!” Arthur said.

“I would bring some flowers for her!” Beatrice said.

“Okay then, It’s settled.” Tristan said.

“You are all so noisy. What are you guys talking about, can I join in? A soft voice behind them said.

Everyone turned around to see Nikola. Grysdel who was looking at the ants at Alford’s feet said:

“Oh we are just planning-“ His words were stopped by Alphonse.

“Hi Nikola.”

“N-Nikola?” Grysdel turned around and saw Nikola.

“Hey Alphonse spoke! Grysdel said.

“We know!” Everyone said except Ellise and Alphonse.

[It has no Climax, I know, Ill try and do better next time.]:emhh18:

[jeiru01]

Chapter 4, (almost forgot about this thread >.< and no more part 2, this is too long)

Grysdel stayed silent and sat on a rock at the side of the river. His Glooy Aura was All over the place. Everyone felt bad for shouting at Grysdel. Alford was about to bite a bread when Gisela quickly grabbed it.
Alford opened his eyes and saw that his hand was empty. Helooked below his feet and saw nothing, then he saw Gisela infront of her.
"H-hey!" He stood up.

"SHHH" Gisela chanted Alford to became silent, which he immediately followed.
She walked near Grysdel.

"Ah, Grysdel.." Grysdel looked back at them and they felt like they carried a very heavy burden at their backs.
They were all shocked at the depressed face of Grysdel.

"H-here, Fill yourself up, This is from our bakery.."

"A Bread.. "

"Y-Yes a Bread" Gisela tried to smile.

Grysdel took a bite and stared at the bread. Gisela waited for his reaction everyone took a closer look at the scene.
Alford swallowed some wind. Alphonse stared also at the scene. Ellise did the same. Ulrike and Beatrice were just waiting for the outcome, Kuitan just yawned still sitting. Nikola just watched at them sitting near Kuitan.
Their eyes are like those from kids eager to see some magic shows. suddenly.

*SFX: something thrown in a water* me: and yes, he threw the bread into the river.

Everyone's face turned somehow like those people's reaction from a movie theater that has just seen a surprising scene. And yes again, they are surprised. Gisela paused for a minute and fell down to the ground. No one wanted to touch her, they knew the next scene after that.

"AAH! YOU IDIOT! HOW COULD YOU!" Gisela stood up with her hands on her waist.

"I went all the trouble of baking that and coming forward to face you!" Gisela said with a high tone.

"Ah, Actually, that Bread is mine" Alford said and Gisela said replied with a cold stare at Alford.

At that scene Conrart sneaked inside the Hut. Beatrice saw Conrart and giggled. Conrart was able to get in. He spread his sight and smiled. He went straight to a room near a study table. Again, there was no one. He sat on the bed and smiled.
"This place didn't change, I remember that time." [woo, yes. this is an entrance to a memory scene]

"Hey Nikola!" a young Nikola looked back. The young Conrart ran towards the group of children infront of him.

"Let's play Ta~" *SFX: someone who just fell" Everyone looked back.

"Conrart!" Nikola and the other kids turned to help the Fallen Conrart.

"Are you alright?" a Young Gisela assisted the young Conrart to stand.

"Thank you, yes I'm alright" The young Conrart smiled and everyone was in ease. When, a drip of blood went out of his Nose. Ulrike's mouth dropped open.

"Oh dear.. nosebleed.." Ulrike said with a surprised face.

"Conrart! you're nosebleeding!" The teenage Tristan said in shock. Everyone were surprised.

Someone from faraway ran towards them. "Hey hey! Let's play!"
"Grysdel, you're late again." Alford said.

"Oh, My deepest apologies." Grysdel slowed down as he got nearer them and helped Conrart.

"Let's bring him inside the hut, I'm sure that Mom knows what to do with this sort of things." Tristan said while lifting Conrart.

Grysdel and Alford helped them. Nikola opened the door and they went in. Kuitan and Arthur also went inside the hut. Kuitan sat inside with Alphonse. Arthur is observing them, standing near the door with his back against the wall, when a beautiful young lady went inside the room where they were seated. She wiped her hands and spoke.

"What's the problem, kids?" She spoke in a delicate way which made Kuitan stare at her.

"Mom, Conrart is Nosebleeding." Tristan said.

"Wow, you guys helped him, you're all very kind." then she smiled.

"Yeah I'm Kind but I didn't help him, In fact I don't care about him." Arthur muttered and everyone looked at him.
Nikola stared at him with disappointment.

"I'm sorry, I didn't meant that."

"Okay, enough" The lady Clapped her hands and continued. She grabbed a pack and filled it with ice from a barrel. while on that, Ulrike told Conrart to tilt his head.

"Tilting the head forward will help decrease the chance of nausea and airway obstruction." Ulrike said,

"And about the cold pack, I won't comment about that.." The lady came back smiling and put the ice pack on Conrart's forehead.. He looked to her right and saw a room near the study table.

"Hey Nikola, Is that you're room?" Conrart asked while looking at it.

"Yes." She answered in a cheerful way.

"Nice room." Conrart said while staring at the ceiling. Nikola replied with a smile.

"Ehem," everyone looked at the source of the sound.

"I think I should tell Ms. Adalhard about this." Arthur said while checking his fingernails. Then he gave a glance at Conrart. Conrart sneaked a peak at Nikola.

"That's a good idea Arthur." Tristan removed his glasses and then wiped it.

"Okay, I'll tell them, who will come with me?" Arthur said.

"I will." Tristan said.

"Okay son good luck." Julia said while watching the 2 boys go out. then suddenly, while Conrart is staring at Nikola, blood dripped down again.

~
Conrart shook his head.

"Awful." Conrart stood up ang grabbed somehing from his jacket. In his hand is a small box with a ribbon. He placed it on top of the Drawer beside the bed and smiled. He then went out and closed the door. He passed the table and was about to exit when he heard something.

"Hey there Conrart. Seat, and have a soup with me."

"Yes sir." Conrart said while in shock.

"How did you get there, you weren't there a while ago." Conrart stopped himself from saying this.

Conrart was also amazed about the bowl of soup ready infront of him.

"Thanks sir." Conrart with his usual calm voice.

Silence rose in and the only sound that Conrart can hear is the sound of Hube sipping his soup.

Hube looked at Conrart with confusement.

"Come on, have your soup, My son is an awesome cook." Hube said while showing a smile.

"Thank you." Hube watched Conrart as he forced the soup down his stomach.
After a while, Hube was able to finish his soup.

"What a good fill, aaah." Hube rubbed his stomach.

"Did you know that most of the bowls in this house is wooden? hmm?"

Before Conrart could ever replied, Hube spoke again.

"Wooden bowls are not that easy to break and our supply of it is a lot, but Porcelain bowls as we know, are brittle and we all know that It costs high, haha, which we can't afford because we are not that rich. haha," "and besides, if this porcelain bowls break, It's very hard to mend them back together. But still, we have 4 of them. ahaha."

Hube said while laughing. Hube stood up and washed the bowl. Then, after that he laid the bowl on the table and sat. He then examined the Bowl.

"Nice bowl isn't it, Julia was the one who bought this bowls, but, It looks different now."

Conrart stayed silent.

"How was it supposed to look like?" Conrart asked. Hube smiled then grabbed the bowl and threw it in mid-air.

Conrart's eyes grew wider while Hube's stayed calm and with the sound of the bowl breaking, Conrart's eyes grew more.

"This form. Right Conrart?"

Conrart is filled with astonishment. No one should have known of what he did.

"You managed to fix it once, why not try again?"

"I beg your pardon." *sweatdrop*

"Tell me Conrart" Hube's face shifted from a smiling one to a serious one.

"How did you manage to Fix this Once-broken-bowl-that's-now-broken-again-because-of-me before."

"I-I"
"Hmm?"
"I did Nothing sir."
"Don't act Dumb." Silence rose at the scene.

"Kunster, Vorgetser, Freiger or Arzit? what is it? or, is it non of the above?" Hube asked Conrart.

"Kunster." Conrart replied while looking down.

"I see." Hube smirked. Conrart looked shocked at Hube's Reaction. It wasn't the reaction that he was expecting.
He was expecting of something like this:
"WHAT! YOU'RE A KUNSTER!" with Hube's face like that from an old man who is very annoyed and weird-looking. or
"EH! WHAT A STUPID BOY YOU ARE!" with Hube hitting the table. or
"WHAT THE HELL! THAT'S ABSURD!" with Hube Strangling Conrart.
Conrart shook his head.

"HA-HA-HA-HA!" Hube Laughed and left Conrart confused.

"My boy, you look scared all of a sudden, ha ha ha."

"Don't worry I won't tell anyone." Hube Raised his hand and moved it on top of the bowl and with snap of his finger Conrart saw the bowl returning fixing itself.

"As long as you will keep mine as well." Hube smiled and Conrart nodded.

"But, you do know that It's banned from this place right? I suggest you stop training all ready before you will find it's negative effects, the hard way. Trust me." Hube looked at the window and paused.

"Looks like they're having fun outside." Conrart looked outside and became surprised.

"Go on, this conversation has ended." Hube said while grabbing Conrart's empty bowl.

"Thank you sir."
Conrart ran out and stopped. Hube picked the whole bowl from the floor and smiled.

"Oh wait." Conrart turned back at Hube and smiled. He pulled a bag and gave it to Hube.

"Hmm? what is this?" Hube asked.

"Gifts. I kinda forgot to gave you those when I first came. Better be late than to have never, in this case, gave them at all." Conrart smiled and ran outside. Hube was left with confusion.

Conrart rushed out and saw Gisela about to hit him. But a hand grabbed him.

"In a battlefield, you should really pay attention, or you'll die." Conrart fell on the ground but was able to dodge to incoming attack. Nikola sat down and breathed heavily.

"Thanks." Conrart said while he was wiping the dust from his pants.
Gisela turned back and was attempting to attack Grysdel when Alford, Arthur, Tristan, Beatrice, Ulrike, and Ellise rushed to her.

"Hey! Don't stop me!" Gisela said while she is being held by them.
Kuitan yawned and looked at the sky.

"I tried to be nice and this is what I get!"

"Calm down Gisela." Tristan said and Gisela replied with a creepy glance. Everyone turned silent and with one stroke Gisela escaped her bonds. Everyone's jaw dropped. She quickly aimed for Grysdel. When Grysdel turned back, he saw Gisela with her hands attempting to punch Grysdel. Grysdel quickly dodged the attack. Gisela wasn't able to control her body and closed her eyes, she knew that she would fall straight to the river. When She opened her eyes, she realized that she didn't fell in the river but fell in Grysdel's hands..

"Gotcha." Grysdel smiled. The wind blew, Gisela and Grysdel stared at each other for a few minutes. Gisela started to blush and Grysdel let go of Gisela. Gisela looked down while blushing.

"Oh look at the sun, It's getting close to my cut off time." Gisela said while looking at the sun.

"Huh? It's not even close to 4 yet." Ulrike said.

"Bye everyone." Gisela ran off and paused to look at them and wave her right hand. She then continued to go away.
Everyone looked at Grysdel while he was still stucked at his place. Kuitan stood up and yawned. He walked away.

"You're going too?" Kuitan continued to walk and raised his left hand and went on.

"I-I'll be going too." Grysdel spoke and everyone looked at him.

"I'll go with you." Alford, and Ulrike said. Ellise went to sit next to Nikola and smiled at her.

"I wonder where's Alphonse."

"A-choo" They heard a sound from behind the woods.
Ellise looked behind a Bid tree and saw Alphonse stretching with his book on his chest.

"All this time? You were sleeping?" Ellise said while fixing her hair. Alphonse looked behind the tree and saw Nikola staring at her, then looked at Conrart and Beatrice who rode a horse. Conrart raised his left hand and Beatrice smiled. The horse started to walk away and saw Nikola lowering her right hand.

"Oy, Ellise calling Alphonse." Ellise waved her hands at Alphonse. Alphonse looked back and stood up. Ellise picked Alphomse' book and went away.

"Let's go."

"Yeah." Alphonse walked to Nikola and bid Goodbye. He and Ellise went away together.

~.
"Hey Grysdel." Ulrike said while looking at Grysdel who was walking infront of her.

"Yes?" Grysdel looked back while walking."

"Why did you threw the bread into the river anyway?"

"Yeah, Her Family is one of those who really makes bread that are superb and delicious." Alford added.

"In Case you forgot.." Grysdel stopped. "Im allergic to Raisins."

Ulrike facepalmed. "Oooh."
"It's a raisin Bread?" Alford said "Well, even I didn't know that, she just gave that to me."
then, together they continued to walk until they got to their own homes.

~ Arthur and Tristan lied on their own bed. Arthur was about to blow the candle when he saw a small box with a ribbon on it. He swallowed an imaginary food nd opened the box. He saw a handkerchief with a name on it. "Nikola" he turned the box over and a small paper fell. He read it and crampled it.

"That Conrart.." Arthur stared at the window and burned the crampled paper and hid the handkerchief under his bed mattress. Tristan closed his eyes as Arthur laid his back.

"ACHOOO." Conrart wiped his nose with his blanket while on his bed.
