Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 - Time Flys.

When Hale and Dia was two-years-old, both of them could talk and walk, also play games and run around, doing troublesome things. Diana obviously thought them a lesson through a good beating. Especially Hale who was a vivid trouble-maker. He would climb the roof of the house and slide down, jumping on trees and ruining some rare flowers that was accepted into Diana's garden.

He sword-plays with his sister with the sticks they found on the grassy ground. He slashed the flower in half and laughed proudly. Hale quickly threw the stick next to Dia and escaped, hiding behind a huge tree.

Dia obviously knew that Hale had set her up. Diana came fourth drying the clothes on a clothes-line connected by two poles. She saw the tortured flower and Dia standing next to them, holding a stick.

Dia looked at her mother and before her mother could lash out, she said, "Mother, although I am playful and like doing joyful things, I always take care of your plants and water them for you when you ask me to. Although this seems like I've wronged you, it is obviously not me that would do this."

Diana looked at her daughter, "Darling I know it's obviously not you."

Hale who was behind the tree, was about to enjoy a good show until he heard his mother speak.

"Mother always take Dia's side, even with all that proof. Was it not enough to frame her and escape? Damn it, I'm in trouble!" Hale thought.

He was about to take-off but suddenly a hand grab his right ear tightly. Twisting his ear and pulling him out from behind the tree, Hale was screaming in pain.

"Mother I'm sorry, I'm sorr-yyy, OUCH!"

Dia was laughing at him, standing in-front and cheering for her mother to keep on going.

"Boy! What did I tell you about my flowers? Not to hurt them. But here we are again." Diana grabbed his ear tightly and twisted with some force. Hale's ear was red like the Red Ligu flower in the garden. He was tearing up and that's when Diana loosened her hand.

[TN : Don't bother searching what flower that is. It's made up.]

"Mother I'm sorry I will... will not do it again. I promise." Hale was crying in pain, feeling like his ear was stretched and was visibly increased in size. He massaged his ear to counter the pain.

"Okay boy I believe you for once, from now on I declare you protector of the garden and forest. If you see any mishap being done, you bring about punishment." Diana gave him some responsibility so he could learn. Hale obviously widened his chest and thought excitedly that "I could get away with anything after this."

But Dia obviously can see his thoughts and dropped a bucket of water over his head. "Mother I think you made him more irresponsible. He will get away with all his notorious deeds. Mother, please grant me the position of a seer so I can watch over him and inact the proper punishment, for those flowers whose lives were unjustifiably taken. I will serve the proper justice when needed." Dia's acting skills and cuteness obviously won. Diana doted on Dia and also acted her part.

Diana nodded her head constantly at Dia and said," Yes sweety! I will appoint you seer. And so on you will guard this entire place. If anything goes wrong you can report it to me and I will help you to seek justice." Diana said this while making a holier-than-thou face.

Dia smiled at Hale, her smile laced with some hidden cheekiness. Hale had a bad feeling and knew he stumped himself for all eternity.
