Silence shrouded over the whole room as Ender who was standing before the soul who was sitting in a sad position, her hands and ankles wrapped with chains, she was uncomfortable as she covered her legs and hands, her face titled down.
He was confused, like what the hell was happening?. A chair was resting on the corner as he uses telekinesis to get it over here. Before gently sitting on it. He sighs, not looking at the soul.
~ What should I do?. She's not comfortable here either. Maybe I should call Mr Azon?.
As he stands up, the soul looked at him like what he was going to do now. Ender sighs as he extended his arm slightly to air and a bright light appeared taking a shape of a football. It was a star. A neutron star dazzling the whole room. Ender had also made a barrier around it so that it couldn't collapsed the whole region. As he untied the chains around his back to the star itself. Weridly, the chains didn't melted.
He rubs his hands, rubbing the stardust, with a sigh. He goes to the soul and kneels down. The soul was scared, with that she hides her face from him. He sighs, understanding the situation; said firmly.
"I'll not harm you."
As the words made the soul lifted her head just enough to saw his lips curved to a faint smile. As he slowly approached his hands towards the wrapped chains of her hands and loose them just enough for her to move them freely enough so that she can later free herself, with that he does the same with her ankles.
As he gets up, not looking at her, adjusted himself and gets out of the room, his burned coat was laying on the floor. The soul watches him going, the echos of his shoes fades away over time. She titled her head down and stayed there.

Ruis and Zack were roaming around the lower hall. As they heard footsteps coming from the library hall area. Only to saw a giant standing there, just before the door.
"Mr Azon?."
Zack murmured as Azon walks to them, his sword resting on his sheath. Ruis was looking at his surroundings as Azon spoke.
"We'll continue the investigation tomorrow. It's too much for today. Call everyone, I'm waiting outside."
As he turned his feet towards the main door and starts walking towards it. Within that moment, they all heard rushed footsteps coming towards them as if someone was in hurry.
"Sir Azon!. Zack!. Ruis!."
Ender who was between the spiral staircase his black shirt covered in sweat as he wiped some of it streaming from his forehead, grabbing their attention towards him. He takes some deep breaths before saying.
"I need you all to come with me."
As he hurriedly climb stairs while others follow him with curiosity. Now they were near the same room as Ender stepped first, his face turned pale the moment he stepped in, flabbergasted while for others, it was a blank face.
"Nobody's here. Were you daydreaming?."
Zack spoke with a irritated expression while Ruis sighs.
~ Why the hell is everyone daydreaming these days?.
He wondered as Azon examining the whole room said.
"You must have a hallucination. Using 4th eye for the first time can result in these consequences."
He turned around as he was about to go outside as Ender who was baffled because no even the neutron star he had crafted was here, not even the chains and the soul. All of them had disappeared, along with his burned coat.
"My coat. It is also gone. That soul burned it. Can't you see?."
He try to convince them. With that Azon activated was using his 4th eye and blinked again to close them, he then declared.
"I can't perceive anyone lingering here. Maybe you're right but we don't have evidence for it. Let's go now."
As Azon started walking while Ruis patted his back.
"It's okay. We all are daydreaming these days."
He said with a warm, exaggerated smile. While Zack started trailing along with Azon. Now they had reached the main door as Azon, using his both arms, opened the door vigorously. Light was streaming from the door as Azon stepped forward while Zack was behind him, Ruis was behind Zack and in the end there was Ender.
Zack stepped outside as Ruis was also close to him while Ender was lost in his thoughts. There he sense, feel as if something was standing behind him. He glanced behind, to saw the same girl standing there with her red yukata, the light gleaming on her yukata and her silver hair. A smile clearly visible on her cheeks. As she mumbled something.
"We'll meet again."
"..What?."
He said with bewildered face as he couldn't hear it as well clearly, while in that moment Ruis punches his chest.
"You're daydreaming now. Tell me. Who's it?."
He said with a teasing smile on her face. As Ender glared at him with bothered face. While the tension between them was about to explode, Zack yelled at them.
"Idiots!. We're about to leave!."
They forget the tension and goes outside. Sat on the carriage as the rider whipped his horse and it snorted before starting it's journey to the destination, but the journey wasn't over yet. The golden clouds engulfing the sky. The mansion was covered in barriers yet the street was crowdy like usual, seeing their carriage and horse stamping the cobblestone bricks.

Misha and Lisa were now about to leave as they get up from sofas and adjusted themselves, before getting out of the table as Mrs Ava greeted them before leaving. It was quite a chummy environment.
But then suddenly they both felt a werid feeling emerging in their souls.
~ What is this?.
Misha asked telepathically to Lisa whom he replied.
~ I don't know.. Be alert for now..
As Lisa eyes glanced upon a shadow slowly approaching towards Mrs Ava, before she can do anything, it was too late as it enters her body.
She titled her head down and froze, not even flinching as Misha and Lisa stepped back reflexively. As he slowly titled her head up again, but this time it made them dreadful.
Mrs Ava eyes were now red as if they're covered in blood. A macilious smile lingering on her face. Lisa, no time used her trame. Curtain dimensionality but they're many seals here. Then she used her spiritually to saw some red strings lingering on Mrs Ava head.
~ A trap!. It was a trap!.
Misha spoke telepathically to her as Lisa clenched her teeth before saying telepathically.
~ Control her. I'll find the marionettist.
As Lisa sprints while the controlled Ava tried to stop her, Misha using her only spiritually makes some golden strings, threads that spread all over Ava like web as she was screaming like a demon.
While Lisa was searching those rooms, trying to find the marionettist. She search cupboards, drawers, even using her spiritually to saw the marionettist by seeing where the red strings were going but she can't because it had came prepared.
~ I need to contact Leon..
She wondered as she tried to used her telepathy but it couldn't work because of the long distance plus the seals as well. As she sighs and a red aura emerged from her body. Levitating her hairs slightly up.
While on the other side, the marionette, Ava had destroyed the strings as she tried to attack Misha with a knife which she calmly dodged. Then combine both her arms and making a circle, Misha spread her arms over her as a crystal appeared. But it wasn't enough as dark-red aura was leaking from her body and she was growing stronger as well each second.
"Do it hurry!. I can't keep her up!."
Misha shouted at Lisa who was upstairs. As the marinette was continuously shattering the crystal but at the same time Misha was rebuilding it as well. But it looked like she couldn't hold it for long.
Where as on other side, Lisa had made a circle of salt around her. She had crafted a three ingots of gold and one silver. She takes a knife from the kitchen and sat in the circle, then she sighs and spread the three gold ingots and place the silver one in the bottom. She put her feet in the salt circle then close the knife to her palm and cut it.
She made sure that the blood pour into the silver ingot and when it poured. She chanted.
"Oh!. The great justice!. Please spread your surveillance towards your follower Mrs Ava Warner. She is doomed in madness. Please!. The great justice!. Let me the one who has soaked her in madness."
As the whole room began to glow red because of the red light emitting from the salt circle. The silver ingot fused with her blood levitated onto the air, it had become a liquid now along with the gold ingots, as they all revolve in circles before fusing together. A red substance was levitating infront of her eyes as she sighs and waved her hand over it.
A symbol appeared in her hand, a symbol of three dots aligned together with a line, one dot was above than the other two over her wrist. As she extended her arm over the air. And a aura leaked from it. The aura goes to the corner room of the second floor in the closed closet.
As Lisa rushed towards it and make a energy beam in her beam and shoot towards the closet. Before that, a fork fell from the closet some how as the closet blasted. The fork takes the shape of a man. Who tried to escape, Lisa put out the knife and said.
"End it."
She said with a serious face, her hair scattered over her face. As the man in fear ends the connection. Now on the other side Misha was laying down the floor, as the woman was berserk now, her face distorted as Misha was struggling for her not to bite her hands not arms. As she saw the strings over her head cut off.
When they cut off, the woman immediately became unconscious. As she fell off to her, Misha gets up as she leaned towards the wall, taking some deep breaths and sighing.
~ We have done it!. Hurray!.
Even though she was tired and exhausted, the feeling of winning and solving the case was much more than other feelings in her, as she titled her head up, her amber eyes speaking joy as a faint smile appeared on her cheeks.
