Azure stood at the entrance of the room, drenched in water, listening to the muffled snickers of her students.

Without so much as a reply to Alistair’s remark, the professor turned and walked away.

Dear Lycoris,

Today has mostly followed the format of most days: wake up, brush teeth, train, attend classes, eat lunch, attend classes, and train. That last part however was when things became… different.

I met another student named Alistair in the Emerald Forest. He had been attacked by an Ursa and seemed to be in poor condition when I heard the sounds of battle. Though he looked poor off, I… doubt he would’ve died if I decided not to interfere. He still had options available to him that were not immediately noticeable to me.

And yes I interfered of my own accord. You shouldn’t look too much into it, Lyco, for I don’t particularly understand myself. I would’ve been perfectly in my rights to simply leave him be and let nature take its course. But I suppose I still have that tiny part of me that still believe in heroes and justice. 

It’s amazing how some things absolutely refuse to drown in Water’s nature, even when they’ve been disproven time and time again.

But in the end, I distracted the creature long enough for him to cast something that looked like Enchantment and Illusion. Something to make the Grimm see its worst fears. He didn’t express the curiosity I expected of him when I obliquely offered my services as a test subject for his illusions much like you at one time, Lyco, with your enchantments.

I wonder sometimes what I would see if caught by such a power. You should know already that I don’t fear anymore. If asked to take that step for a chance of victory, I would take it a hundred out of a hundred times.

But this letter isn’t about that, though if you wanted it to be, it would. Instead, Alistair is polite in the sense of nobility polite; I imagine you would enjoy pretending to be a noblewoman in his presence, Lyco. His sense of direction is just as poor as yours too but refuses aids to assist him in that.

I cannot blame him. Technology tends to be a crutch at the best of times and a deficiency at worst.

Anyway, the semblance he wields is odd if that blade of his - Cheshire Smile - is a focus for that semblance. I have never seen a semblance that could cast internal illusions before. I’ve seen external illusions like what you do with your afterimages while channeling Wind - but internal, trapping them in their own minds.

It sounds like a domain that only gods dare to trespass in.

I do not fear Alistair, but my senses are uneasy around him. The Water tells me that he is not all there as though his presence is like a drizzle falling from clouds of storm.

But I cannot divine it further. 

My candle is burning out, so I shall keep the rest brief. We had managed to make it out of the forest without being accosted. The happy sort of ending that you seem to cherish and adore.

Always yours,

H: Favorite book

As of right now? World War Z by Matt Brooks.

And no, the movie is nothing like the book.

The book is written as a series of interviews made by the narrator that starts at the beginning of the zombie apocalypse - the stage where the governments of the world started to notice something was wrong - all the way to the reconstruction of the world amidst a zombie plague.

When they were 9, Euridice had stolen a bottle of vodka from a caravan cart. When their mentor Hizawa found the stolen bottle and confronted the ravenette about it, Euridice claimed it was Alice’s fault.

Alice obviously retaliated by stating that the other girl did it.

Figuring that neither were going to own up to the crime and seeing a teachable lesson under all this, Hizawa filled two large mugs with the contents of the bottle and forced them to drink every drop.

Needless to say, both were puking by the end of it and wondering why people drank this stuff. The hangover the next morning solidified that perception.
