“Where do you think you're going?”

You slip on a winter coat and your satchel, “Old Corona.” You hook a lantern onto your bag.

“In this weather? Maybe you should wait until tomorrow.”

You turn to Cass, “This can't wait. I need to get there before Varian leaves.”

“(____), seriously. What is going on? You've been really secretive.” Cass blocks your door. “Tell me something.”

“Just trust me, Cass. Please, I can't leave Varian alone.”

She sighs and moves her arm, “I trust you, just be careful okay? It seems the storm is getting worse.”

You nod and stop, “One more thing. Go to Xavier if it gets extreme. He knows what to do.” You wanted help here too, but Varian is more important to you.

Down the halls, you hear a squeak and look back to see the mouse running after you. She crawls up onto your shoulder then squeaks once like she's ready.

“Hey, you should stay here.”

She shakes her head and buries herself into the fur of your coat. You sigh, smiling, “Alright. At least I'm not alone out there.”

“You know, I should give you name.” You think then smile, “How about Mimi? Sounds simple.”

Mimi squeaks happily and smiles too.

“Mimi it is.”

Quirin breaks part of the wall in his room and pulls out a big chest. His hand removes the dust to reveal the mark that he and you have.

The chest opened which held a metal helmet, covered sword and covered armor. Quirin picked up the helmet that held the mark and a scratch where the eye is. Quirin stared at his reflection and sighs.

His eyes gaze out the window at the castle in the distance before shifting to the portrait of him, his wife, and his baby son.

Quirin walks over to the chest again and pulls out an old envelope. Fancy writing was on the front.

For My Sweet Little Prodigy

Quirin opens it and quickly adds on to the letter in his writing before placing back in the envelope. He walks toward Varian’s lab and stops at his door.

Quirin felt anxious and breaths calmly. He opens the door, “Son, I just-”

Varian panics and turns around, accidentally spilling the lime colored chemical on the rock. “Huh? OH oh!”

Rudiger hides behind the table.

Quirin sighs, “Varian. I told you to stay away from those rocks.” He walks up to Varian with a stoick posture.

“Yeah. Okay, I know what you said but-”

“Then there should be NO misunderstanding! Now listen to me while I-!” Quirin’s voice rises.

Varian closes his eyes, not wanting to listen to what his dad had to say and shoves Quirin, “No, no!” Varian narrows his eyes, “You listen to me dad! Our village is dying!” Varian points out the window, “You think, running away from the problem is gonna fix it? No! These rocks aren't going away.”
