Sora started to run towards the giant water bubble around the house.


    “What is this!” He shouted as he ran towards it, but as he approached it he stopped and grew timid. “Why am I?”


    Ignatius interrupts, “You''re not scared, your instincts kicked in Sora, pressurized water to this degree is enough to make once weak people pull back.”


    As Ignatius looks inside Sora''s mind he says, “however, it seems weird to me, there''s ways to focus certain effects around certain people… Sora, you claim to know these people right?.”


    Sora looks straight at the barrier and says, “yes…” Ignatius stops for a second and responds, “Sora, walk through it.”


    Sora at this point didn''t believe he had enough time to figure something out sto he stuck his hand out, “okay, I trust you.”


    Sora moved forward and slowly moved his hand towards the water bubble feeling the small particles of water going on him.


    Sora relaxed and moved even closer and as his fingers touched it he realized that the water was soft in a way as it started to slowly open up for Sora as he walked.


    Started from the fingers and as he strolled on through, his arm, then entire body followed. While somewhat in shock he maintained his composure and ran inside.


    “Aria! Shara! Where are you! As he walked through the doors he saw the living room completely empty.


    He kept on shouting their names over and over again as he moved, he went from room to room, from the kitchen all the way to the laundry, and no one was heard.


    He kept searching and eventually heard a muffled out object falling from a closet near the kitchen, he approached the door and as to get prepared for combat he grabbed the door silently and quickly opened it.

    As he did that he stepped back instantly and got in a fighting stance.


    As the door opened he noticed it, he saw Shara with a knife out and Aria cuddled around her arms as Shara uses her hand to cover her mouth, as I look at both of them I breathed a sigh of relief.


    “Thank you….” Sora says out loud as the news continues, Shara looks at Sora and slowly puts her knife down, “Is- is that really you Sora?”


    Sora responds, “in the flesh, after what had happened and after all the explosions, I thought the worst had happened” As he sits down on the floor in shock. “Things are going on outside that I can''t explain right now.”


    “Do any of you have any idea as to what made that bubble?”


    As Sora said that Ignatius looked closely, “Seems to be the mother, barrier specialty, or just the ability to make strong barriers with water, powerful defense, low attack.”


    Sora says to himself, “okay.” As both of the girls look at him with a weirded out face, “Are you talking to yourself Sora?” Aria asks.


    He looks at her, and closes his eyes for a moment to Think about what he''d say and puts his hand on her head as he gives her a pat. “Just thinking about stuff.” As Sora says that he looks at Shara, “I have a feeling you have the barrier up outside, whatever you do, what you''re feeling now, that drive, that will to keep yourself and your daughter safe… Keep it.”


    Sora stands up and says, stay safe to both of them as he starts to walk away, “I''ll go to Kobadera, you two, stay put, and stay safe, find a closet and hide, or a closed off room.”


    Shara nodded as she took Aria with her.


    Sora started walking away and noticed something strange, “Is something wrong with the barrier Ignatius?”


    Ignatius responds, “no, you can still pass through it, reaffirming what she has to do was smart.”


    “So why did I feel like something was off with you? I feel as if our emotions are a bit linked.” Sora said.


    “How did you figure that out?” Ignatius asked


    “It''s because I felt A kinship between you and I when you infused your element into my body.” Sora stated.


    As they talked back and forth Ignatius told Sora that it doesn''t matter right now and that he should hurry up, Sora understanding the situation everyone is in right now instantly started to act and ran right outside the safe haven house to the pandemonium.
