Within a Random Forest within the Continent of Debilis, Three Figures stood together as the Bright Sun illuminated them with its light. They found themselves in a Beautiful Forest. It was calming and peaceful. Its Ferns and Leaves was Emerald Green in Color as the Breeze of Wind was Cold yet Warm. The Echoes of Insects and the Rustling Leaves strapped on their branches. Such Forest gave one of them a reminder of her past.

Though unfortunately, The Trio couldn't enjoy the scenery as their new enemies began to arrive. A Dagger pierced through the winds as it passed through the group. The Dagger hit a tree as the Trio turned their heads towards the Dagger, then turned it once again towards the one that threw the Dagger. "Assassin?" Persia muttered as she prepared her sword.

Hearing the word of Persia, Statera and Ego quickly prepared themselves as they began looking around the area. "Assassins, eh," Statera smirked as Ego calmly gazed upon her surroundings. She could see shadowing figures surrounding them. Such a scene made Ego's eyes turn cold as she held her Dagger tightly under her fingers.

Assassins were dangerous, and even Statera and Persia knew of such fact. They would probably blow the Forest into nothingness if they had their true power, though they could only dream for now. The Assassins got trained to kill individuals stronger than them. Either alone or in a group, though it seems that the Trio was handling a group of Assassins.

"Be careful not to get hit by their daggers," Persia warned as Statera and Ego nodded. Ego turned her head towards the Dagger stuck on the tree and squinted her eyes. She then found it with a strange liquid dripping from the Dagger. 'Poison?' Ego thought to herself as she calmly disappeared from her spot. Persia seeing Ego fading, couldn't help but smirk as she also began her attack.

Statera sighed while seeing Ego and Persia fading. 'The Small Army still wasn't enough.' Statera thought as she shook her head. She then heard a rustle within the bushes as she found herself surrounded by Five Figures under a Green Cloak. "Hmm... Separating us should be their plan." Statera muttered while gazing upon the Five Figures that surrounded her.

"Well, I guess I'll take care of you." Statera sighed once again as she began spinning her Scythe. The Five Assassins began moving as they threw Numerous Daggers towards Statera. Statera turned her Scythe in front of her as it deflected the incoming Daggers. The Assassins scattered within the bushes as they began circling Statera.

"Discovering an Opponent that couldn't be defeated head-on then deciding to fight within the shadows in an instant. Such good Assassins." Statera smirked as she began accelerating the spin of her Scythe. As she heard a rustle under her ears, She quickly swung her Scythe towards the sound as it cut the trees near Statera in half.

*Pang!!!*

A Strange Noise echoed within the Silent Forest as Numerous Trees began tumbling down. The Assassin that gave the sound felt shocked as he found himself flying within the heavens. He looked down and saw Statera staring at him with her Red Crimson Eyes. He felt a chill within his spine as he began falling back to the Forest. Statera was below him, waiting like a predator to instantly annihilate its prey. Seeing such a scene, The Assassin knew that he wouldn't have a chance of surviving.

Though fortunately, Numerous Daggers exited the shadows of the Forest. They propelled themselves towards Statera, which forced Statera to stop waiting for the Assassin to come down. She deflected the Daggers without any problems as the Assassin finally landed and ran back to the Forest. Statera smirked after seeing their teamwork.

"Not an Ordinary Assassin, eh?" Statera muttered as it was strange for Assassin to save one another. After all, they are mostly alone and wouldn't care about anyone not Important to them. Not Important to them? Such thought gave Statera a good idea about the Assassins in front of her. She smiled as she spoke with a calm and seductive voice.

"Young Ones, Why are you attacking this pitiful lady here?" The Assassins hiding within the Forest wanted to speak up about the bullshit Statera was trying to say. Pitiful Lady? Who would believe that after effortlessly cutting a part of the Forest in half? The Assassins continued hiding as Statera began giving warnings. "If you don't come out from your hiding spot. I will find you. And I'm sure you know the punishment of not following my words."

Statera said with her seductive voice as the Assassins continued to watch from afar. It seems that the Mission was a Failure. Retreating was their only option. The Assassin Leader sighed, and as she was about to give the order for retreat. The Leader felt a chill within her spine. The Leader turned her gaze upon Statera and felt a Monter gazing upon her body. Statera was smiling while looking at the Leader with her Red Crimson Eyes.

"Found you." Statera released her words as the Leader could instantly tell what it was. As the Leader was about to run away, Statera disappeared from her spot and reappeared behind the Leader. The Leader quickly swung her Dagger only to be stopped by Statera's hand. "A lovely lady, aren't you?" Statera whispered through the Leader's ears. The Leader slowly lost her strength while being held under Statera's hand.

The Assassins found their Leader held by Statera, As they were about to charge and help their Leader. Statera pointed her finger onto the Leader's neck and spoke with a seductive voice. "Why don't we talk? If all of you don't reveal yourselves, The Punishment is clear." Statera poked the Leader's neck as the Assassins began gritting their teeth.

'Now, why don't we take a look at their identities.' Statera thought to herself as she opened the Green Cloak covering the Assassin Leader. Statera raised an eyebrow after seeing the identity of the Assassin Leader. She could only mutter one word. "Elf?" She was confused though it seemed that the Continent had its elf.

"Ego, Persia, Stop fighting," Statera muttered as Ego and Persia, who stood a hundred meters away from her, turned their heads towards Statera. The Two of them raised an eyebrow as they found themselves confused by Statera's words. Statera then continued with a calm voice. "They are Elves."

Persia stood quietly as the sunlight illuminated her. She squinted her eyes after hearing the words of Statera and turned her head towards the Assassin on the ground. She was pointing her sword at the neck of the Assassin. She was about to behead the Assassin though Statera's words stopped her in time. She then walked towards the Assassin and crouched.

The Assassin shook in fear after seeing Persia walking towards her. The Assassin closed her eyelids as Persia took out the Green Cloak that hid every nook and cranny of the Assassin. As the Green Cloak left its owner, Persia saw a Young Elven Girl with Green Hair. She was looking at Persia with fearful eyes as Persia sighed and replied to Statera. "And?"

It was a simple question with various implications. Statera, hearing a word from Persia, answered. "If they are elves, Then they must be defending their territory, which might mean that they aren't severely hostile against us." Persia furrowed her eyebrows after hearing Statera's words. She placed her sword onto the ground as it stuck itself onto the earth.

"You do know that such words apply to those Humans we massacred?" Persia asked with a calm voice. Statera sighed after hearing Persia and shook her head. "Well, I guess, in the end, it's your choice." Persia looked at the fearful young elf in front of her and shook her head. "Understood, Be sure to stop them before any problems arise."

Statera sighed in relief as she looked around the Forest. "Stop fighting, or you all will die. A warning from a spirit." Statera spoke with a cold voice as it echoed all over the Forest. The Assassin hiding within the darkness of the Forest began looking at each other. The word spirit made them doubt themselves. An Assassin took out a crystal from his bag and threw it towards Statera.

Statera raised an eyebrow as the crystal began to release an illuminating light. It then broke apart as if it got completely overwhelmed by the power it was trying to sense. The illuminating light gave the Assassins new information. It was a piece of information about Statera being a spirit, Which meant that strong beings that entered their Forest were a spirit.

The Assassins looked at each other as the Assassin Leader under Statera's hold found herself in shock. They never thought that they attacked a Spirit. The Spirit and the Elves were Partners that dated since the birth of their race. The Balance between the Astral and Material got held between the two races. An attack of a spirit, a strong one, was an act of hostility against the spirit race.

They sighed as they nodded towards each other. The Assassins walked out from their hiding spot as they revealed themselves towards Statera. Statera looked at them as one of them raised a thing onto the heavens. It created a thunderous sound as a bright light propelled itself onto the blue skies. The bright light exploded within the skies as the Assassins all around the Forest understood the signal.

Assassins all over the Forest revealed themselves to the Trio. Ego raised an eyebrow as she remembered the conversation of Statera and Persia. She sighed as she stopped fighting against the Assassins in front of her. Persia looked at the Assassins, who revealed themselves towards her. She could feel fear at the bottom of their hearts.

Persia walked towards Statera as Ego said the same thing. The Assassins followed as they began their rendezvous towards the Assassins, who were with Statera. Statera gazed upon the Assassins in front of her as she freed the Leader from her hold. She placed her scythe standing upon the earth as she smiled while seeing them. "Rather interesting to see otherworld elves."

Statera could hear a dozen of rustles in all directions. She turned her head towards one and noticed a Beautiful Young Girl with While Silver Hair. "Is this even a good way to finish the test?" Persia sighed as she asked with a calm voice. Ego then also revealed herself as numerous Assassins followed.

"The Results of Statera's actions will appear later, Sister. Besides, we are not in a hurry to complete the test." Ego said with her monotone voice. Persia nodded in agreement as what Ego said was true. There was no need to be fast as there were no time limits. Being impatient might result in many problems which would annoy Persia.

The Trio stood together as they gazed upon the Elves in front of them. Persia turned her head towards Statera and asked. "Is there any reason why we spared them?" Statera sighed after hearing Persia's question and answered. "Within the Realm of Piksyon, The Elves and the Spirit were the first ones that established their control over the Great Forest. With the love of nature and balance. The Spirits and Elves got along since the first day of their birth."

"I see... Even if they are from a Foreign world. You'll still treat them as if they were the ones in Piksyon. I guess there is nothing I can do about it. Well, I can't change that attitude, and I have no right to do so." Persia sighed as she nodded in understanding of Statera's reasonings. She looked upon the Elves and spoke with a calm voice.

"Speak, Be sure to spill everything as your fates find themselves strapped onto the words you speak from this moment." The Elves looked at each other as they nodded upon Persia's words. They dropped their weapons as a Spirit was honorable for them. It was also rare to find one and most elves considered spirits as their deity.

Another questioning began, and it was towards the Elves within the Random Forest.
