Courtnie watches Alexandra walk by the dining room alone. Fear peaks within Courtnie as she thinks of hat may have gone on, "Yumiko.... I hope you enjoy the Ice cream... I realized something..."

Yumiko looks down, "Courtnie ...I have to admit I fear for Relm as well...I would like to go" She stands up and looks at Courtnie,

Courtnie looks away "Oh so you know why I was to leave....?" Courtnie smiles anxiously and shyly.

Yumiko grabs Courtnie's hand and begins to pull her to a run, "Those were tears Alexandra was crying so... she either... got Yuri... or...." Yumiko tightens her jaw.

Courtnie speeds to a faster pace, "Or Relm....." Yumiko lets go of Courtnie's hand for a second retrieving her sword from her dress, "Wow Yumiko... Always prepared I see?" Courtnie giggles anxiously.

Yumiko walks forward with her sword in hand, "Courtnie keep behind me, " she says professionally, Yumiko arrives first to see Relm in and slowly begins toward him,

Courtnie begins in a run passing Yumiko, "Brother! " Courtnie collapses hugging Relm, "I was so worried" she clutches harder.

Relm looks up with a smile, "It was Alexandra... she protected me from Yuri. " He looks down bitterly, "She is gone for good..." Relm says feeling unconformable,

"At least you are safe little brother..." Courtnie hugs Relm tightly again.

Relm smiles, And feels a harsh ripple in the air. "Courtnie...something is wrong!" Relm stands up pushing her away inadvertently. Relm sees Doran with evil behind his eyes and longer dark hair, "Who is this evil!?" Kiana Screams inside of him "LEN!!!" Her voice paralyzing "That boy helped kiana so many times? what is going on?" Relm ponders to himself. "How would he become that way?"

Relm awakes to Courtnie's voice "Relm...Thank the gods, " she says with slight anxiety, "You just suddenly collapsed. It really gave me a fright..." She puts her hand through his hair and smiles,

"Awe...Courtnie...I'm fine..." Relm says like it's no big deal with a smile, Relm notices his surroundings are still the same,

"Good...I'm glad" Courtnie says with assurance,

Relm looks down, "len....?" Relm thinks passionately. " I want to fight for him...but I feel...for Doran...What to do....?" Relm partially grins in his own world.

"Relm...what are you thinking in that head of yours?" Courtnie puts her hands on his shoulders and hugs him while rising them to their feet, "Just promise me you'll never scare me like that again..." She says while looking into Relm's eyes.

"I'll try" Relm says puzzling over the vision he saw.

Doran enters the room, "What is all the commotion?" he asks with caution and caring yet almost acting like the leader of the troupe,

"Yuri is vanished..." Relm says quickly and without warning

Doran in shock utters "How? " shaking his head not realizing he just spoke.

Courtnie looks down with a bitter smile, "You have Alexandra to thank for that." afterward looking up with empathy,

Doran blinks "Poor Alexandra...." he sits down with intensity,

Jared walks in, "Doran don't ask Relm yet...!" Jared than looks around "Oh! ....ah never mind..." Jared grimaces to his new situation.

Courtnie perks up, "Ask what? Doran??" She says ith intensity and skepticism,

"Well..." Doran looks around, and terns to his side view, "If Relm would.... Explain more about himself and the castle to me..."

Courtnie looks up quickly "That won't be necessary you see..."

Relm interjects, " I will... Of course, I believe that would be a wonderful idea!" Relm looks don afterword sadly, " Sorry courtie..."

Alexandra stumbles to her bed and collapses over-encumbered with guilt and sadness, "hat have I done...?" she starts to think very hard against herself, she looks at her hands, "for fealty's sake?" she slowly closes her eyes and returns to where true peace presides.

"Courtnie how about You Yumiko...and Jared talk about the castle and our history and my and Doran do the same...?" Relm says with a clear outlook,

Courtnie goes silent, "Yeah that'd be a great idea!" Yumiko breaks the tension, "Right Courtnie?" She smiles and pulls Courtnie with her. "And Jared can't overwhelm both of us!" Yumiko says with intent.

"True..." Courtnie says with rage. and she turns quickly "But you! Doran....Don't treat Relm badly...I ill do something worse than god could torture." She than storms out, with Yumiko and Jared following cautiously,

Doran looks down happy for once, "I seem to be trusted..." He says smiling ,

Relm puts his arm around Doran's, would you like to take a walk with me?" Relm says polity,

Doran looks down happily smiling, "Yes it would be nice Relm..." Doran says with anxiety,

Relm pulls on Doran's arm a bit "allrighty let's go then Doran, We may not have much free time " Relm says still smiling, Relm looks down and begins to frown, "I'm sorry about what Courtnie said to you....She doesn't mean it I'm just all she has...since our parents disappeared..."

Doran looks down "Well at least she hates me and not the fact that your attracted to me..." He grins, "that is a plus right?" Doran looks away,

Relm looks toward the sky, "Well it is nice to know she loves me..." Relm says breaking into a smile, Relm looks over at Doran still smiling, "is everything okay?"

Doran makes eye contact,"I just...was wondering...how did your parents....what happened to them? He mumbles nervously,

"My parents... lord Albert Raybrant, and Avangiline Raybrant, " Relm looks up as his eyes intensify, "My father... they say he disappeared into the depths of this castle when I was 3, mother was left with us...but felt utterly useless and heart broken, the maids wouldn't even let her take care of us... they kept doing their job you know? " Relm turns and looks at Doran, "And when me and Courtnie were 6, well she called a maid, mom...." Relm sighs "than mom disappeared after hearing that...some people say that she went to another planet, where she became a Lunar moth rider...you know way off in the southern part of the Histavian Galaxy, " Relm smiles "I wonder if she really did, my mother Avangiline, become a warrior, who flew on a trusty lunar moth, their pretty big there you know? like as big as trailers... and their vegetarians, and quite cute too..." Relm blinks and holds Dorans arm. "I really hope to ride one; one day...and maybe see mom, " Relm holds Doran's hand tighter,

"I'll do my best to help you find your mother Relm..." Doran says with honor

Relm walks a little faster ahead " Courtnie...she doesn't care about mother anymore...in her eyes we were abandoned by mother, so just... if I do find her don't tell Courtnie, let me show her our mother, and let her do what she needs to do from there, " Relm breaks holding hands with Doran as he turns around, "Kay?"

Doran smiles, "Okay Relm....I promise" Doran says as he looks down, Doran jolts to look up, "Yumiko? ...why is she running?" He says with panic,

"Yumiko! Is sister okay!?" Relm says with worry

Yumiko puts her hands on her knees and catches her breath "I-It's Courtnie...she just... collapsed, " Yumiko says grabbing Relms hand and pulling him away,

Relm clasping Yumiko's hand utters " why??" with confusion across his face,

"I-I just don't know Relm...." Yumiko says unable to understand how to help Relm understand.

Doran catches up behind them as they come to Courtnie, Relm collapses by Courtnie's side, and holds her up in his arms, "sister? Sister are you okay!?" He says in panic, Relm looks down and sets her on the ground now gently, "I shall try to heal her...."

"How? " Jared says with anxiety holding her hand,

Relm's eyes flicker..."my gift...." He says calmly as he closes his eyes, his hands exert a yellow-white light that envelopes Courtnie, her eyes flicker...but nothing comes from all of this...Relm looks up with a smile.."It is okay...this is not an ill or wound...this is something else, she should be okay, She is receiving a divine gift, A raybrant thing..." he says with happiness, Relm puts her hand over his shoulder, "Jared please help me with this..." Relm says struggling, Courtnie is then carried to her room and she lays bathed in light upon her bed, She begins to toss and turn violently as if she is going through a nightmare, "this is the trial period upon which she must persevere to receive her gift, " Relm says patiently, "To get to this point without training, ...my sister is truly gifted, " Relm says feeling quite proud. Alexandra gets up from her bed and walks down the hall, eyes still closed, and presses into the wall, opening a doorway,As she walks through the stony passageway she tears her dress on the doorway and begins down the staircase, as she gets to the room at the bottom of the steps she collapses on the alter below,

Yumiko looks up and notices Alexandra hasn't heard about Courtnie "Everyone...I think I'm gonna go get Alexandra...she needs to know about this..." Yumiko says with integrity, Relm looks to her and nods gently, She walks to Alexandra's room with a sneaking suspicion something is wrong, "Alexandra....? I just..." She looks around to find Alexandra not there, She runs back to Courtnie's room, "Alexandra is gone!" She says with panic "she's just gone!"

Relm looks down, "Everyone...look for Alexandra...I'll stay with my sister..." Relm says decisively,

Doran sits by Relm "I'll stay too..." he says putting his hand on Relm's...

"you could probably help more if you went to search I have it covered here..." Relm says harshly,

Yumiko and Jared start searching for Alexandra. Yumiko leads combing through all the rooms, Jared Stops "Yumiko...I have been through what Courtnie is going through in The White Lotus training, "

Yumiko nods, "as have I...which is why I am revered as the Holy Blade Sacred Princess...." she says still searching, until she sees a piece of fabric in the wall, "Hmm..." she mutters as she puts her hands along the stone beside where the fabric is, until a stone pushes in, and the stairway opens wide, and the fabric flails to the ground. "Got it, now Jared...tell Relm we found something, I'm gonna go down these steps. " she says bravely, Jared goes back out of the room and Yumiko continues down the stairs, She climbs down all the steps and finds a sleeping Alexandra, "Alexandra...?" she says softly Yumiko sits below the circular alter and holds Alexandra's hand, "Alexandra...?"

Jared enters Courtnie's room, "It seems we have found something...!" he says with haste, Relm and Doran each carry Courtnie together with them, Eventually they make their way to the bottom of the staircase at the foot of the alter,

"Hello everyone" Yumiko says greeting everyone, Then Yumiko's eyes widen and she stops,

Courtnie pulls her hands back from Relm and Doran and steps down onto the ground, she than begins to walk forward in short strides, and as she goes upon the alter she collapses, Doran follows to pick her up but collapses as well when he steps upon the alter, "Courtnie! Doran! " Relm yells with no response. "Alexandra..." Relm says not knowing what to do.

Yumiko steps upon the alter. "As I suspected....nothing befalls me, their powers have not awakened yet, which is why they have fallen into a slumber. Relm you Jared and I have already awakened our powers...so the same will not befall us..." Yumiko looks down "which means to me, there is a reason we have all awakened powers at such magnitude there is a reason why we have come together..." she stops as a light begins at the alter and around like a star, the three float in the air, Alexandra's red aura flows into the air around Alexandra, Along with Courtnie's golden aura and Doran's Green-white aura they combine in the middle making a brown black aura, their eyes flicker at the same time upon impact. their bodies return vertical as their eyes open softly, they begin to watch the stardust in awe around them, the light of their aura's then begin to fade into each of them, Alexandra than finds she can call a sword out of spirit energy at any time, Courtnie finds knowledge that she can cure any ailment, or curse, and Doran finds that other people he cares for their powers intensify around him. All three step from the alter. Yumiko looks down "You all...? what is this alter for..?" Yumiko says with anxiety

"I don't really remember anything...?" Courtnie says as she puts her hand on her head. Alexandra nods in agreement, as Doran falls to his feet,

Doran sees etched metal, and brushes it off, " Angel alter?" he says with confusion.

Relm thinks for a second. "This must be one of the five mythical angel alters within the world...!" Relm looks down "There was one at the monastery...one at the Vatican... and three unknown others...this must be one of the three!!" he says with excitement,

"mythical angel alter...?"Yumiko ponders to herself.

A light beams down into the middle of the blue-green alter, and the light beam slowly grows from a centimeter to an inch, to a foot, to a light encompassing the entire alter, "Hello..." A mysterious voice says out loud, Golden winged shoes come into view, and in a long green robe with golden ribbons and wings, then shoulders come into view and more wings, and finally the face comes into view neither male nor female, but beautiful with winged ears and blonde hair which gleams with the brilliance of stars. this must be an angel.
