Once Luke had finished with his warm-up, the discussion between him and Van flowed to New Artes that Luke could learn with practice. Celeste looked over at Guy who was standing next to her in the shade. She readied some water for Luke to drink, and stepped forward to give Luke the refreshment only to drop the cup in shock as an unearthly quiet filled the air. Then it started; a smooth voice filled the courtyard with a mysterious tune:

"Tue rei ze croa riou tue ze …" the sounds rang through the air and poisoned the ones who heard it.

"What is that!" Luke cried out in slight alarm. Van's eyes widened in recognition as he fell to his knees, his hand to his forehead he uttered one line as he fell,

"That voice…."

"I-I can't move," Luke said in a slight shock. Celeste realized it was true as her limbs became heavy, she couldn't escape the voice, she couldn't run... At this terrifying revelation, Celeste fell to the ground as Guy tensed up.

"Guy…what's' happening?" she asked, her question was not answered by Guy, but by Pere who was already doubled over on the ground,

"That's a Fonic Hymn! Has a Seventh Fonist invaded the Manor?" his raspy voice pervaded the now quiet air, the singing having stopped but the effects only beginning. Guy leaned against a nearby pillar his voice a low mutter,

"Dammit… Its putting me to sleep…. What the hell are the guards doing!" Celeste looked around only to discover that this was a true statement. Usually in this case the guards would have showed up to apprehend the invader. Have they already been disposed of? Celeste wondered, her eyelids became heavy but she fought the urge to fall asleep. It was then the intruder showed herself, jumping down from the walls surrounding the courtyard she landed behind Van.

"I've finally found you, Vandesdelca! Prepare to die traitor!" Her voice rang throughout the courtyard, she drew out a knife and brandished it as she ran towards the weakened Van. But in a flash Van was standing once again, his sword drawn.

"Tear! I knew it!" Van growled. Celeste had a bad feeling but only watched on as the exchange continued, her strength started to come back, she was still too weak to move. Another blow and parry later, the intruder Tear had landed in front of Luke.

"Who the hell are you!" he cried out. Luke stood up and his body began to glow with the effects of Fonons. Celeste couldn't believe her eyes as Luke raised his wooden practice weapon and brought it down on the intruder.

"No! Stop!" Van cried out too late. The weapons met and a spark and glow emitted around the two. Tear seemed shocked as her strong façade disappeared into a look of horror.

"The Seventh Fonon!" she managed to gasp. It was then a huge light emerged blinding Celeste and a loud roar filled the air, the cries of Luke and Tear could be heard as the light grew stronger and then stopped. Celeste opened her eyes to see a couple more trailing light particles. Guy having regained his strength fully, bolted to the site,

"LUKE!" He shouted the name, even though in his heart he knew there would be no answer. Celeste stood up using the pillar for support, her whole body shaking.

"Where is he?" She whispered, though no one heard her.

"Its too late," Van said his face filled with a mixture of unreadable emotions. "The Seventh Fonons have reacted with eachother," His looked up into the sky as silence fell upon the courtyard. Celeste felt something on her face, instinctively her hand went up to wipe it away, to her surprise it was her tears.
