Episode 2- Coincidence?

Azala and her mother continue their shopping. although Azala was still thinking about Razel.

Azala was caught in a trance and thought to herself, " Why did he call me a little sheep....im not a little sheep."

Sally( mother): dear. come help me with this. I think you will like it.

however, as she looks at Azala. she isn't looking at her. so she raises her voice louder.

Sally: Azala. help me with this, please.

Azala finally hears and looks at her mother. but her mother feels a chill down her spine. the lifeless eyes in her daughter are stronger than before. she knew all about her daughters past. all that betrayal. those boys she used to like. her friends. everyone around her had left her. she was all alone. her mother had wished her daughter was able to escape that past and move on to the brighter future. for a moment. when she saw the golden hair guy. she saw her daughters eyes had changed. she was visibly shocked.

Sally thought to herself. "Maybe that guy will show himself again. maybe he could free her from this life of torture....or maybe not."

moments passed. Razel had been secretly watching Azala. before, he noticed a strong power within that girl. it had almost manifested before he stepped in to stop Lowin. if he had been late. the surrounding area could have been decimated.

Razel rests his arms on a railing on top of a nearby building.

Razel: What a crazy woman she is. that power surging in her eyes. it seems she does not know she has that power. what a shame. A beautiful woman who carries death in her eyes. I bid her farewell.

Razel walks away, thinking he would not see her again. he was again wrong.

the moment when Azala finished shopping. said bye to her mother and returned home. she couldn't stop thinking about Razel. she didn't know his name. but she felt like she needed to know. so she tried and tried researching about a golden hair man with golden eyes.

Azala: How is it so hard to find one guy? agh. of course, it'll be hard. he uses magic. so he's a sorcerer. and every sorcerer is met with a member of the council to confirm their magic. so there has to be some sort of list.

after an hour of searching about sorcerers. she finds one fortunate article that was published 15 years ago. it reads. " A small boy was evaluated by a member in the council of magic. could this boy have enough potential to become the 1st ranked sorcerer? he duelled the member of the council, and although the results weren't made known. the member does seem angry and refuses to answer any of our questions." and what was shown was a very poor photo of the boy. he appeared to have been a teenager at that time.

Azala: Could this be him??? There's no name, but he has golden short hair. but there is the name of the council member... the name is Koen Vonciel? Vonciel... I have seen that before. but where....

Azala searches through all her junk in her house. she knew that surname. if she could just find whatever that reminded her of that family. she would be able to find the publisher. after some time. she found something.

Azala: I knew it. it was here.

what she found was an old photo of when she was a kid. her mother had taken her daughter to her close friend's estate. and in that photo. the mother, azala, and the mother's friend was standing in front of the giant house. and there was a family crest behind them on the house. so without a delay. Azala calls her mother.

Azala: mom. please tell me you remember that estate we visited and the family crest is the letter V with flowers around it.

Sally: Huh. I do remember yes. what do you need to know for?

Azala: Just tell me. I was just doing research, and I found that family crest. so I called you to find out the name.

Sally: ahh well. Vonciel is the name of the family. is that all dear?

Azala: Yes, thank you. bye

Sally was confused, but she noticed her daughter sounded happier. so she didn't think too much about why she wanted to know.

Azala: So it's Vonciel. maybe I'll be able to visit that estate again, and they could let me speak to Koen.

Azala continues to do more research about sorcerers and mostly the Vonciel family. she discovered that the Vonciel family used to be the Duke for the late King about 100 years ago. the king was really exceptional at magic and was said to rival the strongest from the magic council. whereas the Vonciel duke used to be below the king in magical power. but as time went on. the king had died with no heirs remaining. although he had children. but they were reported as dead. and strangely. there are no photos or anything said about their appearance. it seems like they were all deleted.

the Vonciel family had taken up the mantle as the reigning crown. however. they had been declining as the other noble families began to break away and lived their own lives. which brings to today. the magic council overrules everything now. every other empire in the world still exists, but even they have to follow the magic council.

Azala looks at the time and realises that it was so late now. which isn't unusual for her. she just didn't think she spent so much time researching in hopes of finding that man's identity. and so she packs up for the night and gets ready for bed and then closes her eyes.
