Ryse sat on the couch waiting silently, The phone in his hand vibrated and he looked down reading the message from his assistant Angeline he stood up and approached the door. He opened the door and found Angeline waiting on the side her ears were slightly red. Was she embarrassed? Maybe.
The two headed down stairs and entered the car. Angeline drove towards the port and gave him a ticket to hold on to. They went up the stairs showing the ticket to the guard they boarded the cruise. This trip was a one night one so they did not need anything other one extra set of cloths. Angeline led him to his room on the cruise the door had the number 0182. The room was medium sized it had a wardrobe and a single bed, The window was circular and faced the outdoor restaurant and the sea.
The cruise would leave the dock in half an hour. Ryse sat on the bed and leaned on the head board closing his eyes. He felt his soul fluctuate and his eyes snapped open. The soul shard was here on the cruise? Maybe it was an item to be worn? Really why did it have to be something that might be difficult to get. With a sigh he forced himself to close his eyes and rest again. If it was on board than it won't be going anywhere he could still get it before getting back on land.
He received a message from Angeline again the cruise was setting sail and she would come over to pick him up in an hour. Placing his phone back on the bed he walked towards the window watching the buildings on land slowing getting farther. He stayed in the room with much difficulty the soul shard was making him restless. A whispering soft voice in his mind kept urging to get it quickly. Ryse suddenly had a thought maybe Intra had lied to him and he was schizophrenic. Or there was something bigger going on Intra knew and still didn't inform him.
While his mind kept making up suspicious thoughts an hour already passed by. He walked to the bed and noticed his phone was lit up. He picked it up and saw the Angeline's message, Rubbing his nose lightly he walked out apologizing for having her wait for an entire fifteen minutes. She shook her head in understanding and led him down to the main hall where the party was to take place.
He noticed there were a lot of other idols and actors also invited or came as a partner. The host of the party Mr Garner met him halfway to the stage and laughingly introduced him to his family his son and his grand daughter. Ryse read his lips and smiled a little awkwardly. Angeline had to make up an excuse of getting ready for the concert and escape from the chattering old man.
He felt it again the fluctuation deep in his soul and he turned around quickly on the spot clashing with the hetero chrome eyes looking at himself in amusement. He felt his jump in shock and his hands tremble slightly. 'Not Si yang' He told himself there is no way that crazy dude would appear here. He did not even want to question why he met a person with the same eyes as his own twice in both worlds. He felt that he would find out eventually. All secrets will be revealed...Right?.
"Hello" He jumped, He had heard his voice.
"My name is Reiner C.Castillo may I have the honor to know your name?" Reiner as he introduced himself bowed slightly in an elegant manner. The ring on his hand caught Ryse's attention the fluctuations were coming from the ring..... he wanted it. Take it Whispered the voice from the back of his mind. Take it....it is yours.
'Not mine' Ryse replied subconsciously.
No....Take it.
Ryse clenched his hands forcing himself to look away from the ring and finding Reiner still patiently waiting for a response.
"Micah.....My name is Micah Irwin."
Reiner extended his hand for a shake and Ryse slowly extended his own. A look of shock appeared on Reiner's face for a few second before he chuckled.
"Interesting" He said.
"Eh?" Ryse tilted his head trying to understand what Reiner meant.
"Nothing i just find it interesting so many...." He trailed off Giving him a mysterious smile, " It's best if you find out yourself"
He turned and walked away leaving a confused Ryse behind him.
-------------------
"What did you see boss?" A young woman whispered when she saw Reiner return.
"Something very interesting" He replied.
"Come on boss tell me please pretty please" She fluttered her eyes acting childish.
"No" Reiner said with an expressionless face, "It's so very complicated you won't understand....Even i don't understand how he is still able to exist with so many....." He trailed off again ignoring the pouting lady.
The lights dimmed and the idols came one by one singing one song each The people danced and chatted merrily. Some picked up the sweets to eat. Then it was Micah's turn to sing. Since it was a party he sang a fast paced song that he remembered from his fragmented memories.
Reiner stroked the ring on his finger and smiled faintly in the shadows. He already knew the reason Micah wanted this ring and he was willing to give it if the other agreed to meet him again. Micah was.....Really interesting especially now that he saw something so complicated. Reiner was even more interested to spend time with Micah.

Maria stood in the shadows with no expression on her delicate face. She watched the young man on the stage with complicated emotions. She really did not know how to go about acting around this person. There were so many reasons she should hate him and so many reasons she should not.
All this started with herself anyways non of this would have happened if she had not messed with that thing. But it was also not her fault entirely there was this other man who was more responsible for this fiasco then herself.
