"Come in~" She absentmindedly said.
"Miss." Her butler bowed.
"What is it?"
"The Master has summoned you." He said, solemnly.
Fiona simply nodded, having expected that.
She dismissed him as she walked towards the center of the Roschem Family mansion.
,m Towards the center, where the study of Sage Damian Roschem was.
She breathed deeply as she steeled her mind, before knocking.
KNOCK KNOCK
Nothing happened.
Until it did.
The doors opened slowly. Ominously.
Immediately, she gritted her teeth slightly as immense pressure weighed on her, threatening to crush her if she wasn't strong enough.
She walked in as her eyes fell on the figure seated at the center of the room.
"Fiona."
He murmured a single word.
Fiona's eyes fluttered unstably, as she struggled to stay conscious.
A single word.
And she felt limitless, boundless pressure crush down onto her.
A single word.
And she felt as though the very sky itself had converged onto her.
A single word.
And she felt the very core of her consciousness crumbling.
A single word.

"I'm sorry, my precious baby." He softly murmured sorrowfully, careful of exerting himself. "It is difficult to contain every ounce of my mind. Every once in a while, I let slip of just a tiny bit of it, like now."
She got up, glaring at him. "Hmph! You say that all the time but it happens every time!"
