Chapter 1 - The Mitosis

 It all starts at ingenium, The Capital of Arcanus Kingdom. A frail-looking beggar in good-enough-clothes is doing his job begging, Because what else is he gonna do? Work? He's a Beggar. Moving on, This frail little boy sees a town-rookie, What he personally calls the new people in the capital. And he gets an idea, 'This guy is new... maybe i can make some money from him...' He thinks to himself.

And here he goes, The beggar boy goes behind the town-rookie and taps the man on his shoulder for attention, "Excuse me, sir. Do you need help navigating the capital?" He ask, to which the man raises an eyebrow.

"Oh?" He reacts. interest, piqued. "I think i do, actually." He says, "Can you help me find the best inn, err, hotel? in town, little man?" He continues, to which, the beggar boy's eyes lit up like it's christmas eve and he's about to get a present from his parents.

"Yes, Sir!" He exclaims, he smiles and continues, leading the man to the market with a bow, "There are plenty of inns in the capital, if you're looking for one with cheap expenses but good service and food, I'd recommend Archibald's Plenty O' Meat, It's cheap, has good food and service, Though, by your looks, sir, i doubt you're looking for one. If you're not worried about expenses, I'd recommend The Meister's Magnum Opus, It's expensive but plenty of customers are satisfied by the inn....." And he goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on about the Capital's best inns and hotels with the man smiling along the way.

Finally settling on Meister's Magnum Opus, The Beggar boy leads the man, But just before they come to a stop with the man about to pay the boy a few silver coins, their attention was grabbed by a faint terrified shout nearby.

"Let me go!!" The man, The town-rookie who we will now refer to as Dandy Man, curiously looked at the source of the voice. The alleyway, just like where bats lost his parents, The man sees the faint silhouette of a little girl being dragged by a man that would look like a bandit had he not have a knight's uniform.

The beggar boy's reaction however, was not as calm, the boy immediately recognized that voice. His body went stiff and his thoughts raced like A-Train on Compound-V, He immediately forgot where and what he was currently doing as he whips his head to the source of the voice.

"Lisa!" He shouts, to which the Dandy Man's Curiosity was piqued even more as a faint smirk slips into his face. The Beggar boy immediately runs into the alleyway, just to see lisa, not to be confused by his name, is a boy, with tears in his eyes looking at The beggar boy. "Jaun!" Lisa shouts back, which catches the knight's attention as lisa escapes his clutches and gets behind jaun.

The knight's attention immediately shifts to Jaun, the beggar boy, and he scowls. "What's this now?" He complains, slowly drawing out his sword. However, as his gaze scans the surroundings, his attentions goes to the Dandy Man, then at the badge the Dandy Man has on his left chest. His movements halts and his eyes widen, his breathing slowly becomes slightly erratic as he looks at the man in fear, scanning his fit, the knight sees the badge of Alamonte's Pride, the white hair, a lazily trimmed beard, and... the Core Minx Symbol on the man's collar.

The fear... Oh, the fear on the knight's eyes, it brings a slight smirk to the Dandy Man's face, "Scram." The Dandy Man calmly Says. and so does the knight obey, Going off to report the Dandy Man's appearance on Arcanus Kingdom to his master.....

"What...?" Jaun says in confusion. Now that he's calmed down a little, his attention snaps back to lisa. He turns around and grabs ahold of lisa's shoulders. "Lisa! Are you alright? Are you hurt? Why was a knight dragging you? You're okay, Right? Tell me you're alright!" He starts to yap, which makes lisa a bit dazed and confused.

"Stop! Stop stop stop stop stop!" He grabs jaun's shoulders and pushes him back a a little. "One question at a time, Jaun. Geez..." He complains, Flicking jaun's forehead to snap him out of his panic. "I'm fine.... But i think that was one of Baron Cobblepotte's knights..... Euwgh! the rumors weren't lying about him being a femboy lover..." He complains, to which jaun goes to his panicked rant again. "WHAT?!" Jaun Exclaims, "Baron Cobblepotte?! That Bastard! I'll tear him apart when i reach Adamantium Rank! He thinks he can lay his hands on you?!? I'll show him terror! I'll show him Hell! AND I'LL TAKE HIM THERE!! I'l-" He was about to continue when suddenly, [Slap]!

Jaun was cut off from his rant by lisa's slap, as he once again Grabs hold of his shoulders. "Shhh!" Lisa shuts jaun off of his rant and confusion, "Don't just start ranting about a noble so openly! Someone might overhear!" As he explains, Jaun's eyes widen and looks around nerviously with his hands clamped over his mouth, when jaun's gaze lands on The Dany Man, He starts to talk, "Uhm... Mister, uh, could you... not tell anyone about this..." as he talks, his voice slowly keeps going down in volume and realization finally dawns his eyes and he figures out that the knight fled because of him. "Uhh...." Jaun could not think of any word or sentence to say to this man.

Lisa sighs as he looks at jaun and makes his way to the Dandy Man, "Um, Sir, thank you for helping us earlier, truly, We will be sure remember this kindness of yours and repay this someday. If you don't mind, we'd like to get going now..." As he talked, The Dandy Man kept on a small smile through and through. Lisa grabbed the frozen jaun and starter to walk away as he finished talking. "Hold on there, little missy, err, y-young man." The Dandy Man Speaks, Clamping a hand on the boy's shoulder.

Lisa Freezes stiff at his touch, slowly, he turns to The Dandy Man, "Um, Yes, sir?" he asks politely, though nervious. However, his thought was not, 'Now, What is he gonna say????? Hopefully nothing bad...' his thought process is like this because he knew this man was suspiscious because the knight ran from him in fear. He truly doesn't want to be associated with this man any more than he is already, The mitosis is about to start and doesn't want anyone to see it.
