Val Pov(first person point of view)

  "VAL LOOK! THERES A STORE FOR TOYS AND BOARD GAMES HERE?! A BOOK STORE?! OMG, THERES ALSO ALL SORTS OF DRESSES TOO-INCLUDING HOODIES?!" Eclipsara screamed in delight as we walked along the sidewalk of this beautiful nation. She had been screaming in pure excitement and joy the more we see the various stores on our way to the tavern.

  "Yes, yes. We'll definitely go check them out after we meet the dy and get a home to stay in. " I sighed, though I couldnt help but smile. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and I found myself chuckling more and more. It seemed boredom wouldn’t be an issue for us for a long time.

  "REALLY?!" Eclipsara looked at me with her red eye sparkling. Though her bangs obscured the other, I already knew it had the same gleam of joy.

  "Yes." I pause for a moment and then remember something important. "Ah, but do remind me to pay the driver for holding on to our luggage for abit. I know he has said we dont need to pay him, but him holding our luggage as we look for this dy is a huge help. Other wise carring our luggage while finding the dy would have made our lives 10 times harder."

  Eclipsara nodded. "Your right. Don't worry, Ill remind you, obviously." She said with a mischevious wink at me as we continued walking.

  As both Eclipsara and I strolled through the lively streets, I am once again reminded that this nation is beautiful and colorful all around. Including the buildings around here. The greenery too felt fresh and real. Flowers of various colors- red, blue, yellow, purple and many more- greet the eyes of both Eclipsara and me as we continue to see them decorated on the streets. The flowers are also on the balcony of some buildings.

  I have also seen many races around here that give this nation quite a diverse group to be surrounded by. I had seen Vampires, beastfolk, lizardfolk, dragons, elves, demon race, spirits, dwarfs and humans like me in this nation. I can now see why this a rapidly developing country with all these races around here. Eclipsara, too, was awestruck-she had never seen so many races all in one single nation.

  "Val, its so wonderful here!" Eclipsara excimed happily. "Dr. Trauss really knew where to send us huh. I am already grateful that he told us to come here to live instead"

  I dont reply and simply smile. It was true-without Dr. Trauss, neither of us would have ever gone to this nation in the first pce.

  As we walking on for a long while, a huge building up ahead came into view with a sign that read tavern.

  "Val? Is that-"

  "Yeah, I think thats the one"

  As Eclipsara and I entered the tavern, the first thing we did was scan the whole pce. The whole pce had alot of people drinking and eating. I can tell it was quite popur with the amount of customers around here. For a moment I got worried that it will take us a long time to find the Mysterious dy. But despite my worries, it seems Eclipsara found her rather quickly.

  "Hey Val. Look. Dont you think that dy fits the description" Eclipsara points.

  I look at where Eclipsara points and immediately recognized the dy of what Dr. Trauss desribed in his letter-Dragon horns on her head, silver and red hair. Check and check. The dy seems to be behind the bar, cleaning the gsses and serving the drinks.

  "Lets go/"

  "Right behind you Val."

  As we both approached the dy, to whom I presume is Sylvaris, she sees us.

  "Hmph, you both seem quite young to be drinking. Well, we dont accept people younger than 21 drinking here, so get going" The dy spoke. Her eyes had a silver and blue color and seemed to be peering at the depths of both our souls.

  I try to speak. "Um, maam...we arent here for drinking, actually-"

  "So what, your hitting on me?

  I opened my mouth to instinctively blurt out 'no' and expin our actual reason for being here, embarrassed that she had completely misread my intentions. But before I could speak, Eclipsara beat me to the punch-although she responded in a manner that I did not expect. She became very bold and daring.

  "No dy, do you really think we would be hitting on you? I mean your pretty and all that, but do you really think Val here would hit on you while a young girl like me is by his side. You must be a little bit out of it huh. Is there any logic in your brain, or has the alcohol smell messed up your head?"

  I look at Eclipsara in absolute shock with how bluntly and perhaps brutally she talked to this dy. Meanwhile, Eclipsara winked at me instead as if stating, "rex I got this'.

  The dy looked at Eclipsara for about a few seconds and I could swear I heard another bartender quietly gasp in the background when looking at this scene. Then ,unexpectedly, the dy smirked.

  "Oh, I like you kid, you got balls of steel" The dy said, impressed.

  "Oh, why thank you. You got the patience and coolness of a powerful being of someone whos seen alot in life" Eclipsara complimented back.

  I find myself blinking at the surpising sight of both Eclipsara and the dy-Sylvaris- ughing together like old friends.

  Sylvaris looked at me and then spoke. "Sorry, Sorry, its always fun to tease people like you. You seem to have a sense of...how do I expin it...you arent exactly used to my manner of speaking are you?"

  Hearing that statement, I nodded and sighed. It seems this dy has keen awareness and observation skills that could probably rival Dr. Trauss himself. Well...I guess its time to give her the letter.

  As I take out the letter, that Dr. Trauss had asked me to give, I handed it to Sylvaris.

  Sylvaris looked at it strangely before asking. "Wait, whos the letter from exactly?"

  "Dr. Trauss" I replied back.

  Her whole body then immediately stiffened. She stared at me with wide eyes, and I swear I could see tons of emotions flicker in those eyes.

  "Dr. Trauss. As in...Cooler Trauss?!?!" she demanded

  Elcipsara and I stared at each other in puzzlement before replying. "I mean...I dont know if Cooler is his first name, but yeah hes definiately a Trauss"

  Syvarius then in a fsh opened the letter with a mix of eagerness and nervousness. Suprising Eclipsara and me. Her eyes darted over the words, fshing with a mix of emotions—anger, nervousness, and… happiness?

  "Um...Val" Eclipsara whispered in my ear. "Is it just me, or is that dy-"

  "Yeah, your not the only one."I whispered back.

  Sylvaris muttered under her breath as she read. "That fucking Lizard hasnt messaged me all this time and this is all he says, that fool. He still hasnt understood how I feel. I really want to beat his ass right now for making me wait, that idiot. Maybe I should chain him up for not understanding all this time, then again...I never did make it obvious with how I behaved with him...."

  Eclipsara whispers to me frantically. "Val, did you just hea-" "I know, I heard that too!" I whispered back frantically.

  After Syvaris finished her letter, she stared at both Eclipsara and me.

  "Alright, I got the gist of the situation. Follow me, I am going to lead you to your new homes" she said simply before turning on her heel and walking off, fully expecting us to follow.

  Both Eclipsara and I were dumbfounded by the reaction and the muttering of the dy.

  And then it hit us both.

  Dr. Trauss had some serious game.

  Because apparently this dy was in love with him.

  And shes was both a tsundere and a yandere.

  I think.
