Lucas thanked Selene as he entered the house with her, grateful for the woman's help. He truly was.<br/><br/>The power he felt from her alone was a comfort, since it seemed to be more powerful than the ones Caroline had in her claws. He hoped to bring down the fiendish woman once and for all. To stop the murders. To end the darkness. To end the nightmares...<br/><br/>The Knight recalled her story as he followed after the woman, and he couldn't help but wonder if she was the<em>Fortunatus Era</em>Father Frollo told to him at bedtime when he came back from his journey overseas. If he recalled correctly,<em>Fortunatus</em>was a woman that wield a staff of power and had magic in her own right.<br/><br/>Her story of the Summer and Winter Courts sounded awfully familiar to a story Father Frollo told to him once long ago, when he had just came back and he was both sunburned and freezing though it shouldn't have been possible at all. Weaving a wonderful and perilous journey of the woman trying to save the Courts from the The Man Who Walks In Darkness and ended up forever in the gratitude of the Courts that they left a special mark on her to show the world how special and great she was.<br/><br/>Though Selene's story was less glamorous and more dark... realistic.<br/><br/>He couldn't remember well sadly, and he could be mistaken. For all he knew, it could simply be his psyche desperately trying to find new connections to Father Frollo in an effort to fill the void of the dead priest. At least, that's what his friends back in the Vatican said two months after the murder.<br/><br/><em>Fides</em>gave a humming whine, a pitched wail as if in pain over something. He touched the hilt, trying to soothe the broadsword. Ever since his first encounter with Coraline, the weapon had been reacting like this ever since. He wondered if this was some sort of spell cast upon it, though he highly doubt it. The Pope would have felt it right away and demanded it to be destroyed.<br/><br/>"How on earth did your family require all of these items?" Lucas asked, looking at the Solomon Staff for example. "I can hardly believe that someone would just give it to them as presents or toss is their way if it was not pretty or new."
