"You... what are you doing hiding behind the desk?"

A little girl with her big round brown eyes that full of curiousity ask me. She's wearing a pink dress and holding a bunny doll in her both arms. Her black hair is curl and she pigtails it looking like a living doll. Her skin is white, lips are as pink as peach. You can say that this child after ten years will become a peerless beauty. It's my first time seeing this child and she looks wealthy. Sometimes there's a children going to the back of church wandering here.

She's sitting infront of me, tugging my clothes. "Hey hey sister... what are you doing here. Are you playing? Rene wants to join too." her brown eyes with a spark, ask me.

"shhhh" I move my index finger to my lips. Causing the question mark to appear on the head of the little girl.

I'm hiding under the desk of the room use for teaching children in the orphanage. Elliz are looking for me again, so all I got to do is hide.

"LILIBETH WHERE ARE YOU" a sound of a girl outside the room can be heard.

"Come come.. here sit beside me. Sister is just playing hide and seek with friends." I whisper.

"Really?" the girl raise her voice with excitement.

"shhh" I put both of my hands in the little girl's mouth. "we can't make sound or were gonna lose, okay?" I whisper, causing the girl to nod like a chicken and she sit beside me.

<Chhk> The door that is not fully open while ago, can be heard opening. Sound of footsteps entering inside.

I feel terrified. Hoping they will not discover this hiding place, I pray and pray to the gods.

"Where is Lilibeth?" An arrogant voice can be heard.

"I heard a voice here, maybe she was hiding." The other girl answered.

"Check! be sure to check every inch of this room." Elliz grit her teeth, "That girl, in the past few days I can't even see her hair. Even in her bedroom she's gone. I will make sure to teach her a lesson worth of three days when I see her." she snickered.

Hearing that Lilibeth tremble. She even hide when she's asleep because she is scared of being beaten again even in her room.

Footsteps can be heard walking around in the room and searching. One of the footsteps can be heard walking in the desk.

"Hey I think I found Lilibeth Haha". One of the girl exclaimed. "She's hiding under the desk when I am nearing I saw it move."

"Ha. So you're here Lilibeth. Don't think you can run after this again." Elliz chuckle evily and walk towards the desk. Lilibeth shiver because she knows that after this, she will be beaten again. Lilibeth close her eyes and began to give up.

Elliz walk around the desk and bent her body. "You I see -".

"..... huuh!?"

"There's no one here." Elliz exclaimed looking angry. She look at the girl who said that she find Lilibeth. "Yooou.. are you joking with me?"

The girl tremble with fear, her legs began to feel weak. "Nope, I re-really saw it move." she said while pointing in the desk.

Hearing that all the girls face darken. "Waah.. Me too, I saw it move when you are walking in the desk Elliz."

In truth, Elliz notice it too. But at that time she only thinks of Lilibeth. Now that there's no one under the desk, her face darken.

The room began to quiet.

"G..gghoost" the girl who have the most weak heart began to flee.

<stomp stomp stomp>

Continuing that all the girls began to move and run because of fear.

Only two person is in the room. Lilibeth still can't believe whats happening. She saw Elliz looking down under the desk but the latter didn't see her. 'What's happening'.

It's true she saw the eyes of Elliz flaring when she look under the desk. I even want to shout and yell. But before I could yell, I heard Elliz said, 'there's no one here' after that, I look at Elliz speechless. 'Is Elliz eyes really okay?'.

Hmmm. I notice the shivering little girl behind me and all the things that happened minutes ago, I put it behind my head. I consoled the little girl, "Don't be scared, they're gone" I hug her. Elliz really frighten the little girl. I still see the little girl shivering in my embrace. My heart ache.

"puwaahh" hmm? that didn't sound like a frighten girl.

The girl push me and excitedly leave the desk. She stared at me with interest and said with a sparkling eyes, " Yo-you're the same as daddy." She began to tremble and... that tremble is not the look of fear but.... excitement.

"My daddy said only when you become 12 years old, you can get a blessing of the gods.But youu..." She point at me rudely, "Your looks is so young. What magicka did you use? How old are you sister?"

What? magicka.. ohhh the 11 gods. Wait, "Did you see what happen a while ago?"

"Yup yup," she nod, "There's sparky sparky spark that comes from your neck and covered our bodies after that ummm.." she move her right hand in her chin, knit her brow and frowned, " that scary sister didn't see us... You're awesome sister." She smiled as she happily explain.

What I don't have any blessing though. What magicka? I'm not even 12 years old. Hmm? I subconsciously look at my neck and see the necklace that the sister given to me. 'Maybe it's this thing' , 'Maybe it's an artifact? If it is then it really is precious. I must talk to the sister as soon as possible.'

"OKAY! I choose you." The girl said to me and happily run outside.

Many days passed when that happen, and I already talk to the sister about this necklace. I explain to her what happen in that day with me and the little girl, but I didn't talk about Elliz and her group, saying that the little girl and me are only playing. She smilingly nod to me and explained to me that this pendant is indeed an artifact. But when she was young, anything she do she can't activate this pendant at all.

The sister even said to me, "Maybe this artifact is just waiting for the right person. And I think... it already found owner." She look at me with warm smile.

Sister said that this artifact is called, 'Leaf of it's master', sister said that the reason why the maker make it, is because the maker wants to protect the master that it's serve, thinking that when the time comes the maker can't use any magicka at all, the maker can still protect it's master with the use of it's artifact.

The 'leaf of it's master' can be activated when the person wearing of it and found their destiny master that he/she devotes. And the power that comes from the artifact is the mirror of the one person who is wearing it.

Thinking of that... Lilibeth began to think of the little girl. 'A master?' 'Is she the one?' 'who is she?' 'what did she mean by 'I choose you' '.

That pendant is the turning point of Lilibeth's life.
