The majestic moon is bright and full as Little Eu enjoys the night breeze teasing her flushed face. The night sky is clear and solemn as the stars twinkle rather brightly tonight.

The tree leaves rustles as the wind gently blows. It is indeed a beautiful and peaceful night. She holds the hardbound book she reads that morning, while she waits for someone to arrive.

"Have you been waiting long, Little one?" a gently silvery voice spoke up from the shadows.

A long-haired light blonde man approaches her. His eyes sparkle like violet tourmaline gems.

He wears a dark gray cloak over his blue and white robes. His face covered with a white mask, only showing his pinkish lips and very bewitching eyes. The mask didn't conceal his ethereal appeal, though.

"It's been a while, Master Luc. No worries. I just arrived myself." the little girl meets him halfway as she hands over the hardbound book and continues, "Thank you for lending this to me. It helped me a lot."

"You already master the art of Ancient Seals?" he asked.

"More or less, I think." she casually replied. She already understands how it works, but denied she had an opportunity to apply her newly gained knowledge. She can't reveal it helped her open the Bamboo Grove seal leading to the Cave of Origins, can she?

"Then, try opening this for me."

She took the little jeweled chest from her master as she closes her eyes. She could sense the strong magic seal from it, and the contents feel something familiar. She tightens her griped as she opened her eyes and spoke, "Master, this box.." she looks down as she continued, "It's not the time to open it..."

"You know the contents?" the mysterious Master Luc curiously asked.

"Should I?" Eu asked him quizzically.

Her Master smiles at her mysteriously as he sighs and responds, "Then keep it. Open it when it deems fit.."

His gaze suddenly fell into her hand and saw the Phoenix Ring placed on her ring finger, emitting a bluish glow. He narrowed eyes and asked suspiciously, "Little one, who gave you that ring?"

"Oh, this?" She raises her hand as she shows him her ring and continued, "The Divine Lord made a shape-shifting sword, and it transforms into this.."

"Oh, did he now.." his tone fell flat as it sounds unusually cold and full of sarcasm.

'She seems unaware of what the ring symbolizes. Does he not even informed her what exactly he did? Ravikanth, you sly little creature..' he began his train of thoughts as he remains silent.

Meanwhile, in the Central Palace, the Divine Lord Foeni is busy finishing his job when the temperature suddenly drops hundred-folds. He could oddly sense an unknown threat around him.

'Is someone out there wanting to bring harm to me tonight?' he closes his eyes as he searches the source as he gulps, 'I have a gut feeling of offending a powerful entity...'

Back to their usual rendezvous, Master Luc remained silent before returning to his normal composure. No reason to scold her as he smiles calmly and continues, "You have to conceal this ring and refrain anyone from seeing it. Use a concealing spell and disguise it..."

"Is that our lesson for today? Concealment Spells?" she asked.

The Mysterious man inwardly sighs as he continues to smile. He originally came to teach her nature spells, but concealment spells seems a more appropriate lesson. They decided to head the secluded pavilion deep in the forest so he can teach her.

Upon arriving at the familiar, simple white structure, he took out a book from his storage space. Its a noteworthy, extensive portable library. His collection of books is fascinating, and her amethyst eyes sparkle in amazement.

**********

This Mysterious Master who called himself 'Luc' appeared to her one majestic full moon night. She was reading Elder Teacher Levi's handouts, and she was bored with the repetitive context. Eu already memorized all of them, word for word, and could start writing her copies if she wanted to.

She slumped down on the grass and decided to marvel at the beautiful night sky instead. She already discarded her reading materials with no intention of ever looking at them again.

The elder has given her more than ten materials with almost the same content as she thought, 'Is it essential to drag something so simple?'

She is oblivious to the gray, hooded stranger's arrival. He sat next to her and picked up her lesson materials and scanned them. He can't believe someone is giving her the Basic Courses when she can advance to more complex subjects.

"You are wasting your time studying the Basic Course. Let me teach you Advance Courses. Magic, Array Formations, Magic Seals, Sword art, and even medicine. If you need to know something from the Basic Course, you will find them easily in the future." he said as he broke his silence. His voice is calm and silvery.

"Pardon me.. Who are you?" she quickly responded as she turned to him quizzically.

She was taken aback by his beautiful violet tourmaline gem-like eyes. Somehow she found them so familiar as she promptly eased up. Her instincts tell her she could trust him.

"I am you, new Mentor. I am Master Luc, and from now on, I'll be teaching you about Advance Courses. We will meet every full moon in this very spot." he replied with his beautiful, silvery voice.

His violet tourmaline gem-like eyes sparkle proudly as his pinkish lips curve up in content. From the way he says it, she has no right to refuse or else...

**********

Concealment spells are relatively easy as she masters it with a snap of her fingers. Their lessons have ended earlier than usual as they lounge the premises. It's been a while they talked as the Mysterious Master asked how she's been doing recently.

"Nothing much, but I plan to move out very soon.." she responded.

"Where are you going?" he asked curiously.

"I'll be on a mission to Themis." she calmly responded.

His face darkened as he can't believe she is taking on such dangerous tasks. Even her mother died because of that mission. He wanted to burst into a fit of rage and stop her, but he remained silent as he waits for her to continue.

"Oracle Clan's fate is at stake, among other things.." her gentle voice continued in a low melancholy tone.

This truly surprises him as his earlier rage dissipates and ponders on her response. There is only one explanation he could think of why this little girl is putting her life in danger. She learned something only she knows.

He thought, 'She has awakened! No, since when? It can't be..'

A distinct expression of disbelief from his eyes. His beautiful tourmaline gem-like eyes look at Eu filled with concern as he finally asked; his voice slightly trembles, "Little one, since when have you awakened?"

She gently smiles with a tinge of forlorn in her eyes. She seldom shows people this side of her, but for some reason, she found it easy to open up to him. This mysterious master has been teaching her over the years. She finally revealed as she sighs, "Two years ago.."

"Who else knew?"

"Only you.."

Her sudden revelation has astonished him as he continues to delve into the matter. How come no one has noticed her changes?

"What else do you know?"

"There are matters that only I could do, and I can't involve anyone else." she calmly responded.

"How about the Divine Lord Foeni?"

She paused and curiously wondered why he is suddenly bringing the Divine Lord up to the conversation. She creases her brows. There is nothing much to reveal anyway, or rather, she cannot reveal anything at all.

"What about him?" she curiously asked.

"I don't like him." he straightforwardly said.

Master Luc looks at her as he thought, 'You are oblivious of the ring or the contract behind it. How do you expect me to accept someone like that?! He is an Ancient who has exploited a little girl.'

Little Eu could only sigh as she wonders if she has made the best choice to disclose her secret to this mentor. He is hostile towards the Divine Lord, like her grandfather Enoch. She pursed her lips as she felt somewhat troubled.

Seeing her troubled face, he took out his mask and finally revealed his face to massage his temples. He is starting to have significant headaches because of this girl's revelations.

Meanwhile, she quickly recognized him as she has seen his face many times before. She has seen him so many times in her visions as her face brightens.

He is among those who will always support her along her chosen path as she can't help exclaimed, "Oh, I know you! You are the one who is searching for his long lost niece... and then..."

Her visions are some times in a blur. She has foreseen and knows how things are, yet some instances are still somewhat hazy to her.

He was stupefied on her sudden outburst as he has already met the supposed 'long lost niece' she was referring to. He has met her so many times and even taught her so many things!

"I already met my niece. Thank you, little one, but you don't have to remind me. I'm truly having a major headache because of her right now.."
