Erissa had a choice. She could go with Alan, start a new life and retire as a boring noble. Or she could pick the other route, and still live advance adventurer, following the status quo.

She knew what she wanted. What she needed. And so she made her choice.

--

8 years later.

She was beautiful. She was strong. And she was very dangerous. Those were the thoughts passing through the head of the seven year old Syaran Fontaine, as he held a wooden sword in a horizontal block.

The girl he was facing brought her sword down two handed, and it was hard enough to knock the main line Fontaine down on his knees. Emilia was her name, and Syaran decided to flip on his back, pushing with all his strength to flip her over him.

The boy got up to slash for the back of Emilia's neck, but the girl was fast and strong. She turned and rolled while getting up, smacking Syaran's blade with body enhancement, causing it to leave his hand before she tapped his head with her wooden sword.

Syaran sighed. He was defeated by Emilia again. The girl laughed at him and said "Syaran, you keep losing to me! What happened to your boast of not losing to any boy or girl?"

Syaran accepted this relative's hand, as she helped him up. He frowned and stared at Emilia, saying "mark my words, I will will you. And everyone more skilled than you. You just watch!"

As Syaran turned to walk away, Emilia giggled slightly, before running over to her mother, and hugging her with a bright smile on her face. The raven haired girl was replied to with a hug as well, as Erissa smiled at her and stroked her head.

"You did well today, Emilia. You showed him real good. I guess all the effort I put into teaching you didn't go to waste, did it?" smiled Erissa as she let go of her own daughter.

"I will never disappoint you!" giggled Emilia in response, as Erissa tickled her chin. She gave her mother a peck on the cheek, her beautiful blue eyes glittering. Eyes similar to her mother's.

Erissa knew that seven years ago she chose right. A peaceful life with a daughter, where she no longer worried about finances, danger to her life and the self harm of her powers. She had grown older, and she knew her body wouldn't tolerate body enhancement.

Thus, she decided to stay with Alan and give him family. Family that he needed. Family that she needed.
