Aletheia: Following the Luster of the Froth
Chapter II

20 Years ago at the residence Maximilian found a basket containing a baby girl in it.

That baby is Gwenaelle. Gwenaelle baby found on the doorstep of Maximilian's house. At that time some employees were astonished, because none of the employees were aware of any outsiders or intruders entering the residence at that time.

Like "boom" and voila magic, Gwenaelle appeared at the door.

Christian Maximilian and his wife Abigail Maximilian have agreed to adopt Gwenaelle. Christian Maximilian who was a doctor could not possibly have let a baby who looked deliberately given to this family.

It was a time of wonder and confusion, but Abigail thought that it was a blessing from God.

Although officially adopted, Gwenaelle did not use Maximilian's last name because Gwenaelle's name was written neatly and beautifully in the envelope of letters that were simultaneously in the basket.

'Gwenaelle D'arcy Orfhlaith.'

'Open when you're 16.'

From an early age Gwenaelle was given a different name, and was told the origin of the Maximilian family.

Gwenaelle felt no difference in behavior from her foster parents between her and her foster brother Zayn. Gwenaelle grew up to be a cheerful, smart and intelligent girl.

But Gwenaelle's world changes as she discovers some facts that have deeply shaken her after she reads a letter at the age of 16.

2 Years later, at the age of 18 Gwenaelle Gwenaelle disappeared. Gwenaelle just left a letter saying that he would go for 1 year on vacation to calm himself and want to find a new atmosphere.

Gwenaelle kept her promise, after 1 year she went on vacation somewhere. He returned home to Maximilian's residence with a different appearance and aura than before.

Gwenaelle found that there are not only human beings, animals or plants in the world. Believers do not believe there are all sorts of races from other 'Beings. It's like in a fairyland.

And one of them is Gwenaelle herself. Actually there are many questions in Gwenaelle, because all this time he thought himself just like other family members are human.

Even today, Gwenaelle is skeptical about the fact that she is not human. He even experienced severe depression, and a very high rejection of this fact.

From the family, no one at all knows about the fact of Gwenaelle's true identity. Because he was so afraid to say it.

Gwenaelle is a 'mysterious' existence'. Existence seems like a big question mark in the history of 'other creatures' This Gwenaelle case has never happened and should never have happened. Because Gwenaelle is someone who inherits the blood and power of two opposing races.

There were still some things Gwenaelle had to do, and for this time she had to prepare everything very carefully.

•••☆•••

Very heavy rain spots and winds that are strong enough to make some trees shake their leaves. This morning the atmosphere in the city of Arcadia was quite sad to make some people quite reluctant to get out of bed.

But not with this woman, Gwenaelle.

Gwenaelle was even neat by wearing a black turtle neck sweater top that was inserted into subordinate high waist jeans wrapped in an old brown belt. He also wore a necklace patterned with the moon, the sun that has rubies in the middle. Not to forget he was wearing black combat boots.

Gwenaelle mirrored to ensure his appearance, and combed gently the wavy ginger red hair that he got from birth to be neatly arranged.

His hand held the necklace he was wearing for quite a while, while looking at his reflection in front of the mirror.

"Is there no other option for me?" He muttered little.

After making sure that it was neat enough, Gwenaelle immediately took his leather backpack and immediately went down to the family dining room for breakfast.

Abigailsang mother, smiled when she saw her daughter was tidy, then greeted her warmly "Bagy dear"

Morning Ma'am." Sahut Gwenaelle returned his mother's greeting while immediately sitting next to his brother Zayn.

"Dad's gone?" Ask Gwenaelle, after seeing Chrisyang Dad was not present at breakfast time.

"Yes, I left at 4 this morning. He's in a hurry because there's going to be an important meeting in the office." Answer Gwenaelle's mother.

"Sister! Please, I'm not a kid anymore." Gwenaelle was a little upset that her sister made Gwenaelle's hair a little messy.

"Of course, you still look like a snot kid in my eyes." Ledek zayn again, and then get a smooth punch from Gwenaelle.

After finishing breakfast, the two of them immediately rushed to the Gwenaelle campus.

They both spend time on the trip while joking about the rainy weather which is reluctant to stop the speck until they do not feel they arrive at the Gwenaelle campus.

Gwenaelle immediately resigned and rushed into the campus building, so as not to get soaked. While removing the remnants of rain water attached to his clothes, from the back of Gwenaelle seen a man smiling brightly when he saw the wavy ginger red hair that he recognized.

"Hei Elle~" said the man as he approached Gwenaelle.

•••☆•••

I also reflexively turned around when I heard a voice that remembered me to the man I met last night.

And... Yeah, that's really him. Actually I still do not like the same action that seems to challenge death by making a demon summoning ritual? If he was just an ordinary human, it would be impossible for him to think of such an extreme?

I've heard the news that there is an alleged practice of magic discovered by forest officers a few days ago. Actually the practice found by the officer is also still gray about the culprit. And I think that practice failed.

And I didn't expect that last night was the 2nd time I felt a portal opening ritual. That means that the male ritual is really close to the word succeed. Maybe if I don't stop, could the portal open perfectly? I don't know more exactly how, but obviously I can't take it lightly.

But by the way seeing his actions last night, is it wrong if I think this man is ready to die? When I try to avoid things 'about it', I get met with people like him.

"Hey Elle! Have you forgotten me?" Said the man, breaking my mind.

I shook my head and answered him briefly. "No."

Ah, I just realized he called my name very naturally. Does he think we're that close?

"Your name is Daniel, isn't it?" I looked up my head slightly to see his face clearly. "Is it about cost? If so, you can tell me now. So that there will be no more debt between us." I continued without further ado.

To be honest I didn't want to deal any longer with this man, seeing him daring to perform the ritual there was no way he would let go of me knowing about last night's events. There might be a lot of questions in the man's head.

Then what should I do except avoid it? I can't possibly believe it just like that. As for the family that was so close to me, I didn't tell you.

Argh.if last night I thought about how to stop the ritual not overtly, maybe I wouldn't be related to this person.

"How about we talk about this while going to class?" The man answered no, I mean Daniel. He tilted his body slightly, as if hinting me to walk after him. "Didn't we have the same class schedule this morning?" Connect again.

"Can't we just finish it now?" I asked back, whoever helped me to get away from this guy. It's not that I don't like it, I'm just not ready just in case she asks about last night because I'm still confused about how to explain it.

"Come on! Before the hunt prof. Zackburg goes into the classroom" persuaded Daniel once more. I, who had no reason to reject him, could only agree to his invitation.

How far and for how long should I be involved with this man. He said we were in the same class in history and biology. Between him who is too closed, or me who is not aware of his existence.

My days on campus were not really that good either, as I was quite active in various organizations.

Somehow, enjoying the days as a student and being able to be useful to some people in need is very very happy for me.

Well although sometimes not all the things that have been planned, will always be in accordance with my wishes. And no doubt, there must be some groups who like me and some who do not like me.

But I don't care, as long as it doesn't hamper the activities or plans I've put together.

•••☆•••

At the same time without them both noticing, far away in the corner of the corridor passageway of the campus. There was someone who had secretly noticed them.
