Mysteries: Arcana Wars

[Dear sister Luna, how are you these days? ]

"Rad, what on earth did you do?!"

Luna ran wildly in the underground tunnel holding Rad, whose consciousness was wavering.

When Luna noticed, Rad had already put on the ominous red robe of the Exile, roaring and trying to join the tide of Exiles, but in the end, due to his lack of size and strength, he was hugged by Luna around the waist.

Luna couldn't remember how the red robe got into her luggage. She had clearly cut, burned, and thrown it away, but now it had appeared in her luggage again like a ghost.

She tried to take off the damn red robe, but the robe seemed to have grown on Rad's body and could not be taken off no matter what, as if it had become Rad's second skin.

Rad's mind became increasingly violent, his tendency to attack became stronger and stronger, and the situation became increasingly serious. She simply used a knife and a magic trick to knock Rad out, then left the others behind and ran out carrying Rad.

[I haven't heard from you for a while recently. I wonder where you are now? What's the situation you talked about with me at that time? Do you have a stable new life? ]

There is no safe place here and the crisis is imminent. Luna doesn't know where the end of her escape is and can only run like a headless fly according to the direction of divination.

"Rad! Rad!"

Luna screamed heartbreakingly.

"Can you hear me!? Can you hear me!?"

Rad hung on Luna's shoulder in a daze, his eyes dull. With Luna's intervention, Rad barely regained a trace of self-awareness, but the strong emotions and distorted cognition of the exile still ran rampant in his spiritual world, fighting against his weak self-awareness.

"...Luna...sister..."

An inarticulate call escaped the boy's stiff mouth.

According to Luna's usual sense of self-preservation, she should have just thrown Rad away and escaped alone.

From the moment he put on the red robe, Rad became a member of the exiles. He would act like a camera, capturing every frame of his movements and passing the information to every exile. Bringing him along was like broadcasting his escape route to all the exiles.

But Luna couldn't do it.

Maybe it was the boy who saved her, but the enlightenment education she received during these days was Luna's repayment of this debt; maybe it was the contact during these days that made her a little soft-hearted, but Luna felt that their relationship was far from being close friends who shared life and death.

What could it be? Was it an apology for the quarrel with Rad those days? Was it the desire to prove one's ability and courage after being poked in the sore spot?

Or is it...the guilt of the lucky ones towards the unfortunate ones?

[I am living well in the Marquis Haydn's mansion. My husband is as kind to me as ever, and I am able to share the Marquis's worries. The family is full of respect and love. Although taking care of the children is tiring, with the help of the nanny, this aspect of the work is relatively easy.]

Frost and light flashed in her hands, and the extraordinary abilities she had recorded had long been exhausted. She pressed Rad on her shoulder with one hand and held the electronic astrolabe in the other hand as she moved forward in the corridor.

Should I say something to Rad at this time? Should I promise him loudly: It doesn't matter, I will save you, and everything will be fine.

But Luna didn't have the courage to make this false promise. She wasn't sure if she could really save Rad, nor was she sure if she could give Rad a future. She didn't dare to make such a vow, as if she could escape this responsibility by not making such a promise easily.

It seemed as if his whole life had been an escape, an escape from the death of his parents, an escape from the responsibilities of his family, an escape from Abraham, and an escape from the starry sky.

In the end, she only dared to call the boy's name.

"Rad! Rad! Wake up!"

[The Marquis has not been sleeping well recently, and he always talks with me in the study all night. The situation in Backlund is becoming increasingly unclear. I wonder if these undercurrents have affected your small boat that is setting sail?]

Luna finally found another rail car, threw Rad into the passenger seat, and stepped on the accelerator without saying a word.

The rail car is small but moves very quickly. It is a model specially designed for detecting intelligence and inspecting road conditions.

"Rad! Rad!"

Luna did not give up calling Rad, but Rad's condition was getting worse. She could clearly feel the changes in Rad, and the strange spirit suddenly erupted, rushing through Rad's body like a storm.

The boy's body twisted like plasticine, his fragile frame crackling, then stretched and plumped up, finally becoming a middle-aged man with heavy dark circles under his eyes.

Alan Friedman.

Rad, driven by the evil power, was about to rise up, but was hit by Luna again. After a struggle, Luna finally succeeded in making Rad incapable of action and sealed him in her cloak.

[During this period, Abraham seems to have had a hard time. Dr. Helgi came to Marquis Hayden's house rarely and talked to me about some things, including your defection. You are a courageous girl, and you will do anything you want to do.]

[Recalling the story I heard when I was a child, the defector Vardas Abraham, I wonder if you met him on the way to escape? I only heard that he took away a very valuable treasure from the family, and his motives are unknown. I don't have any more information, if you meet him, please be careful. ]

【Afterwards, Marquis Haydn and I had another long conversation all night long.】

The rail car smashed through the mess of obstacles and derailed directly from the twisted track, rushing onto a platform and getting stuck. The sound of falling debris echoed in the empty space, and Luna realized that she had arrived at the [Underground Well].

Luna quickly carried Rad off the car to check the situation. The platform was stable and strong enough to hold out for a while. There were some well-preserved equipment near the wall, so she hurried forward to check.

[Looking back on my life, I can't help but sigh that I am so loved by this world. ]

【As astronaut parents, they not only provided me with excellent living conditions, but also gave me a strong and excellent body, which allowed me to be healthy throughout my life and even pass the astronaut selection. 】

【When I was a child, I was protected by my family. My father and mother served overtime as astronauts. It was not only their exploration of their ideals, but also the right to choose my life. And you, my dear sister, gave me endless care and companionship. 】

[When I was young, my family’s focus on training laid a good educational foundation for me. In addition to being an astronaut, I can also conduct research on other space technologies and contribute to the family. ]

[When I was young, I met the love of Marquis Haydn. Even though our marriage encountered resistance from all sides, we finally overcame many difficulties and stayed together.]

[I never thought that this would be a reason for me to leave Abraham.]

"Is this... a mobile signal station?!"

Luna almost cried for joy.

"Great! Great!

"Rad, did you see that? We are saved! With the Internet, we can contact reinforcements! We will be saved!"

[This decision is extremely difficult. As the situation worsens, the Marquis needs my support as his wife, but Abraham is also facing crises one after another. I can't bear to choose either side.]

[The Marquis respected my choice very much. It was he who made me put aside all my burdens and make the choice.]

[He even felt a little guilty, saying that he saw the exploration and ideals deep in my heart, and sometimes felt that it was my love and marriage that bound me. I didn't know how to explain my complex feelings for the starry sky, so I could only hug him deeply.]

[I think we will eventually repay all the gifts of fate. Whether it is knowledge, physical strength, wealth, or love.]

[My parents resisted the starry sky for me, and the Marquis resisted fate for me. Now it's my turn. With such blessings, I should stand up and make the same choice to repay them and become them. ]

[I should have been one of the candidates. We had participated in many major space technology projects together until marriage took me away from Abraham. Regardless of my physique, identity, age, or technology, I should have stepped forward.]

Someone always needs to stand there.

Luna excitedly tapped the signal station, and the old machine finally started working. She happily connected to the Internet, and a huge amount of messages flooded into her mobile phone.

That was her dearest sister.

[Blessings to you, Luna. You are a brave seagull. Take the blessings of your father, mother, me, and the Marquis. Escape. Take your ideals with you. Escape as far as possible from this Backlund.]

Desperate news was reflected on the screen.

[I will replace you and go to the outpost space station to perform astronaut missions. ]
