Before eting Azmond, Calista didn't believe there was much to look forward to as she woke up from day to day.
It was always the sa routine: scrounging, getting beat, scrounging so more, getting beat so more.
Now, every day that she spent with the kind-hearted man who had saved her, that once lifeless lifestyle had transford into days full of colorinto days full of sothing normal.
In the end, all she ever wanted was to live a normal lifeto live a life like she'd always dread of...
...
A few weeks passed by as Calista, Azmond, Boundless, and Emu explored every inch of the Anglerfant before making their way down to the city of Astralopolis.
"Azmond, look at this They have shop windows with food inside them."
An amazed voice entered Azmond's ears as a young, pretty girl around 13 years old frolicked through the streets.
Her face exhibited nothing but happiness, as she seed fascinated by just about everything she saw.
However, such a thing really didn't make sense to him, considering that her background was quite 'special'.
And it was such 'specialness' that led to him guessing that she should've witnessed far greater things than what the second step of the Luminous Grounds had to offer.
But after giving it a bit of thought, he just assud that she had been extrely isolated and sheltered most of her life.
Furthermore, adding to that theory, there were a few things that Calista disclosed as they beca closer to each other.
One of those things was that she had been living in a large castle with an interior so massive that even after 12 years of living there, she had never made it from one side to the other.
According to her, that had been the only place she had ever seen in her entire life before she was 'abandoned'.
The second thing Azmond learned was that Calista had only ever been around 'Her Father', 'Her Mother', and 'Her Big-Sis' for the first 12 years of her life.
That was where things truly beca weird, as 'Her Mother' had disappeared when she turned 8, while 'Her Father' and 'Her Big-Sis' had followed the trend as they vanished from her life 4 years after her mother 'left her'.
And that wouldn't make for that big of a mystery if not for her 'identity' and the statuses of her family.
'It just doesn't make any sense'
Azmond had mulled over the topic for the last few weeks as he scanned Calista repeatedly with his Discerning Quantum Eye; however, no matter how long or how many tis he searched, the information provided through the Quantum Eye never changed.
According to Boundless, his 'Discerning Quantum Eye' only ever told him about her 'background information' and things directly related to her.
It was unable to tell him about the things that revolved around her family, at least not in depth.
The information that he was allowed to glean was what 'she knew' about her family.
In the end, the Discerning Quantum Eye was far from omnipotent and could not see what it could not see. But it was because of such a thing that Azmond was left utterly in the dark.
Everything about this girl and her family was a complete mystery to hima mystery that gnawed away at his curiosity like an insatiable beast!

"Azmond, am I being annoying?"
A sweet and slightly downcast voice took Azmond out of his stupor.
He attempted to find the white-haired girl who ran around the bustling streets, pointing out everything she found interesting.
However, it wasn't until he looked down that he saw the adorable girl lightly grabbing onto his robe.
Her big, round, misty eyes looked right up at him with a clearly apologetic expression, as it was obvious that she assud she had been nothing but a bother to Azmond.
"Nah, you're fine, Calista. I was simply spaced out for a second; feel free to call out anything you like, and I will buy it for you," Azmond responded with a gentle smile.
"Really!?" Calista exclaid with shining eyes.
"Of course! After all, your big brother here is quite loaded!"
His response was instantaneous as he shook around a large bag of gold coins.
*Jingle Jingle!*
Azmond had truly amassed enough wealth over the last few months that he could confidently say that he had the capital to be among the top class in the Unity Form Synthesis Realm!
And his wealth never stopped growing, as he had been actively adding more and more monsterkin to his 'Non-Main Party mber' list.
Why would his 'Non-Main Party mber' list affect his affluency, you may ask?
Well, it used to be rely experience points that he gained from the hunting and killing conducted by his party mbers.
But after reaching the Middle Quantum Golden Core Formation Realm, Boundless inford Azmond that he had enough comprehension of the Quantum Law to gain gold on top of experience points from the work done by his 'Party mbers'.
Such a thing naturally ca as a pleasant surprise for him, as it ant he would be able to spend his money however he so chose without ever needing to worry about his total wealth going down into the negatives!
Of course, there were a plethora of other things that he had gained after breaking through to the Middle Quantum Golden Core Formation Realm; however, that topic was for another ti.
Right now, all Azmond was focused on was the mysterious girl who popped up in his lifea girl that, believe it or not, was a little bit older than him!
Nevertheless, it wasn't like he really paid attention to his age.
After all, he was a complete anomaly...
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Loud footsteps reverberated throughout the streets of Astralopolis as a tall, silver foxkin walked along the paved roads with an 'invisible' woman who had long brown hair and effervescently brown eyes on one side.
While on the other side of him, there was a young girl around 13 years old with long white hair and misty gray eyes.
