Somewhere in the world:
A young man takes a stroll on a forest. He has silver hair and celeste colored eyes. Just like any other legend, he has no pupils, but that doesn't stop people from admiring his beauty. With no specific path in mind, he stumbles across a beautiful scenery. Different trees with different colored petals adorns the grounds of the forest. The river was the clearest and purest water on the entire planet.

"Lagoona must be taking good care of this river as well as this forest. Such beauty can only be admired by those who have a pure heart," as he moves forward, he takes notice of a broken bridge ahead of him.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2xdhwfM5A
In front of the broken bridge there's people who looks distressed. They look like they're in a hurry to go on the other side. The young man felt compassion towards them, so he approach the distressed people.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwG3IZI4SD
"Seems like the bridge unexpectedly collapsed..." he says, as he inspects the bridge.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoVpreHjxU
Looking at his inhuman appearance, the people fall to their knees in fear, "Sir, please don't harm us! We are just poor folks looking forward to meet with our children."
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoMaUuz2uR
This scenery tugs at the young man's heart. He forgot to disguise himself as a human before approaching them. He extend his hand at them.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYx5hYY3ND
"Do not fear for I'm not hear to harm you, I'm just here to help," there's compassion in his eyes as he says, "Please stand up, there's no reason to kneel in front of me."
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQUT9X5wgE
The couple, still afraid of him, stand up and cast their gaze to the ground. Seeing as there was no way for him to calm them down, he uses his powers to fix the bridge. The couple's eyes widen in surprise, probably not expecting this.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iiZEjRtqa
"Go and meet your children, I'm sure they will be happy to see their parents," he smiles and walks away from them.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRXm15ei7Z
Once he was far away from them he sighs, "We definitely have an awful reputation towards humans..."
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyXvfMuSHo
He sits under a tree and closes his eyes, ready to fall asleep on the spot. However, his peace didn't last long.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeszlKMTlYx
"Asese, I came to deliver some news for you, some bad ones at that," his messenger said.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF3Wz51Fkz
The name "Asese" in this world means, "Angel". Asese, not being mad for his messenger disturbing his sleep, opens his eyes and looks at his messenger.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2EEN0oI7y
"What's the news?" he asks with a grim expression in his face.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RvuME9Ums
"I thought that after the tradition was banned, no human would dare summoning a Legend. After all, someone spreaded the facts about the consequences that happen to humans that try to mate with Legends. But apparently that wasn't enough to stop a human from summoning a Legend. And she's a highschool girl, which no longer surprises me," after saying this, his messenger stays quiet, waiting for his master's reaction towards the situation.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe1bApdnfC
"What Legend responded to the human's summoning?" he asks.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvAF45Nou8
"Braia, the Legend whose power is to control nature," the messenger answers.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJadV6we05
"Braia" in this world means, "The call of nature".
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2NAsWpsrI
"I'm not surprised, most of the time Braia takes a human whenever he finds them trying to summon a Legend," Asese rubs his temple in annoyance, "This must be his 500th human already, is he not tired of doing this?"
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ2yoXMYe7
"In this world, there are vicious Legends Asese, not everyone is as kind hearted as you," he says.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1yI5q68Nu
"I know that but I still find it hard to accept it," Asese looks away from the messenger and looks at the distance, "Did our spy tell you if the unlucky girl is pregnant?"
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiJc9y7h6f
The messenger nods and Asese stands up, "I want you to find which school she attends, and fast."
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpNLV9XW7T
The messenger raise and eyebrow, "What are you gonna do?"
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqW2d7Lmxm
"While it's true that what's done is done, and her death may not be able to be prevented, I don't want her to die an unhappy life," he states while looking in the distance as if he remembered something, "If her death is unavoidable, I want "
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ995d1iPp
His messenger understood very well the look on his face and nods, "Very well, everything shall be done by this afternoon."

Back to Soor:
"Soor. Soor wake up," Lis shakes Soor who’s fast asleep.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIQzdirW3a
A few minutes after Lis struggles to wake her up, Soor finally opens her eyes.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKoUU95zkC
“You look unwell Soor… You didn’t get much sleep didn’t you?” Lis places the plate with breakfast on the night table, “I should’ve made soup if I knew that you were this sick…”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx4cKLZZX3
While there’s sorrow on Lis voice, Soor feels that there’s something different on the way that she acts around her. However, Soor Is too tired to confront her about it. Not like she intended to in the first place. If Lis understood the meaning behind her words earlier and tells her boyfriend, she won’t stop her. She knew that she brought it upon herself.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT7J4vGr0T
Before she eats her breakfast, she realizes that there was little food on her plate. The academy doesn’t provide much food to students that don’t do well at school, so she always had to rationalize. So it was quite normal to see Soor eat little food. But now tha she was most likely pregnant, she can no longer do this. She was given power, so she has to finish her end of he deal and bear a healthy child, or die trying. Lis observes Soor face reaction. Her staring down at the food with concern strengthens Lis suspicions.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsrPoCpgpA
”While I want to keep refusing to believe that she’s pregnant, evidence keeps piling up. I can no longer ignore this,” feeling distressed, Lis leaves the room in a huff.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4rqzs65V5
Soor watches as Lis leaves the room and chows down her food.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3guRogp2d
Meanwhile with Lis:
Lis holds her head and paces around the kitchen, “This entire situation is driving me nuts!!! We’ve known each other since we were kids!!! She’s not the type to cheat on the person she loves. How can she be capable of such thing!!!???”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu2ICg0Ofc
She tries to calm down but the entire situation just wouldn’t let her.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3SEap9haV
As she pace around the room she finally came to a decision, “Instead of beating around the bush, I'm going to buy a pregnancy test.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ss8KlNUaK
She picks up her bag and message Soor that she will be right back.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBTM8buMpH
In the meantime with Max:
Max was having a hard time concentrating in class. He was constantly spacing out and got called for it a few times by the teacher.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMscSHDnTe
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyCwDgJg5k
”Max, you need to focus on class, how many times have you gotten called out for spacing out?” Trey comments.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DmHirHS96
Max sighs knowing that Trey is right, “I’m going to message Lis to see how she’s doing.”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxhE7Myzrn
Trey looks at Max, “Speaking of, didn’t she say that she will messege us about Soor’s condition?”
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpK58oEQzk
"That's why I'm going to text her," Max replies.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJpSa2Inf8
As he's in class, he quickly asks Lis about Soor's condition and put his phone away. He pretends to be focused on class as he desperately waits for Lis reply.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsoAiHXx4f
Back to Lis:
When she went to buy a pregnancy test, the cashier looks at her with curiosity. She felt embarrassed, however, she didn't let her feeling stop her. She felt as if she has no time to waste. She quickly pays the money and rush out of the store, nearly bumping into some fellow students. When she finally got to Soor's room, she woke up Soor for the second time today.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhD9Z9yySd5
"Soor, I need you to do something," I grab the pregnancy test and hand it to her, "I'm sorry but.... I was just..."
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ9eI0kJ63
Lis couldn't finished her sentence as she didn't knew what to say. Even in her sleepy state, she knew that Soor could clearly see Lis distrust of her. She was expecting Soor to lash out at her, to say something like, "I thought you knew me!" or, "You know that I would never cheat on my boyfriend!" but contrary to her expectations she grabs the pregnancy test and went to the bathroom without saying a word.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbRp4trhXT
As she patiently waited, Soor came out of the bathroom with the pregnancy test, "Did you follow the instructions properly?"
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadpvWF818i
Soor nods and shows her the pregnancy test with no hesitation. As Lis looks at it, she hoped that the pregnancy test was negative. However, every hope she had crashed as it showed positive.
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQRva8OmLY
She hold her head and yells in dispair, "Soor how could you do this to him! He did a lot of stuff for you! How can you repay him with treason!!!???"
283Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKPJeMNTKM
"I did what I had to do to survive," Soor replies with no emotion on her voice.
