Cato woke up to his 6:30 alarm. He checked his hand, seeing the cut from him punching the mirror was gone.

"You never existed Apis." Cato said to himself, "You chose the ultimate silence. Nonexistance."

He checked under his bed, finding a small box made of walnut wood. He opened the container, and saw 10 rings made of small chain links welded together. He changed into his daily clothing, and left his bedroom. He was greeted by his brother.

"Hello brother." Cato smiled, "Can you do a favor for me?"

"Sure. What is it?" Aldo asked.

"I'm skipping my classes today. Tell the teachers I'm sick with a cold." he answered.

"You're not one to cut classes." Aldo argued as Cato walked away.

"Much has changed, Aldo." Cato walked even faster, "Even myself."

Cato encountered Hikari in the hallway.

"Go to the Romalian mountains." Cato told the blind man, "You shall understand why once you have."

Damian looked wide eyed from shock.

"He could have chosen anything," Damian stated astonished, "And he chose nothing that benefited himself."

Cato walked to the edge of the school and he used Acceleration to move across the landscape. He eventually made it to the southern edge of Galia. He saw the door of the farmhouse. He knocked on the door and was greated by Gregory Yuhen.

"Prince Cato, why are you here?" Gregory was amazed.

"A friend of mine is in your care. I wish to give him a gift." Cato stated.

Cato was led up the stairs, and saw Alicio with claw marks across his chest and Gloria cleaning his wounds.

"What do you want Cato?" Alicio asked in an angry tone.

"I only come to give a gift." Cato answered.

Gloria left to give the two a private conversation.

"I know you have power you can't control." Cato told him, "This box holds rings that inhibit magic. Each ring cuts your power in half, 0.09765625% of your full power with all 10 worn. I have more to do, so enjoy my gift."

Cato left and checked his cell phone, he looked up George Penry on Facebook. He saw a happy man posting about his pregnant wife. Since Apis never existed, George never lost her. Next he went back to the Academy. He saw Aiko staring at him.

"Cato where have you been, you said you were sick and here you are." Aiko lectured.

Cato shut her up with a kiss. Aiko was beat red. She never expected him to so much as hug her.

"I lied because I had things more important." Cato responded, "And there is one last thing."

Cato pulled out the Ruby of Earth.

"Would you rule Galia as my queen?" Cato kneeled down.

At the Ornielle estate, there stood a blond man coated in leather. He carried with him a katana, and a large fruit bat riding on his back. On his hands were 10 rings made of chain he reached out to the doorbell with his right hand, and rang it. He knew that it was time, for the return of a lost son.
