"I want to become stronger. Please, whoever you are, whatever you are, give me power. I need power! Give me power whatever it will cost." In front of an old book, a young boy was kneeling at the book. It had a black cover with the symbol of an inverted triangle on it. The room was dark. The candle couldn't last as its light faded. Cold air entered the room through ventilation and lowering the temperature. Suddenly, the light of the candle vanished. The young boy lifted his head and looked at the book. Slowly, the book opened its cover. The page was shifting slowly. Soon, the book stopped moving. Its page was emitting a red light that make the room brighten. "Wh-what happen?" The boy stammered. He closed his eyes due to the flashy light. He opened his eyes slowly. Then, he was shocked when he look at the air. He gasped and stretched his hand into the air. There was floating organized words.

The room was lack of light. Only a moonlight through the windows lighted the room. On the chair, a man was holding a glassful of wine. Two athletic men guarded both sides of this person.His eyes were glazing at the three kneeled persons. Suddenly, he threw the wine to the floor. A sprinkling of water was wetting those three persons."So, how you could explain this to me?" The man's deep sound was reverberating inside the room.One of the kneeled persons spoke up. He stuttered, "W-we will find that girl as soon as possible. Mr. Jean Moore, please give us a few days."Jean Moore stood. He walked slowly to the three. He squatted and grabbed the chin of the only woman in those three kneeled persons."One week. I will give you one week to find that girl. If you fail, your tiny gang will be destroyed."He stood again and added, "You can go now."Then, the three kneeled persons went out of the room as soon as possible. After that, Jean Moore was looking outside through the window."Mage in

The Sun was shining. No cloud protected Amantha City from the heat of the sun. Amantha people’s activities were the same as normal, except for some reason there was a commotion that happened."Catch him! Don't let him run away!""Step aside, don't impede us.""Someone who could stop him will grant a prize from Snakehead Gang!"Kieran was running as fast as possible. He could beat them but it will take time, at worst, one of the three chiefs of the snakehead gang will catch him. Kieran didn't take the alleyway but he ran on the main road. His purpose was to get out of this city. There was no safe place in Amantha City.Many people filled the main road. As an effect, Snakehead Gangsters were hampered to chase Kieran. Kieran passed through the crowd by running between the gap of people."I'm sorry," Mio apologized.Kieran knew Mio was regretting. but the situation was already screwed up, Mio’s regret will not change the situation."We will go out of this city. The fastest person in Snake

In a cave full of spider nests, Kieran and Mio took a rest. The outside cave was dark and cold. After going several hours from Ryx. Kieran and Mio had been deep inside the forest.Mio sat in the corner of the cave with her head sank on the buckling hands. After getting consciousness, Mio was blame herself for hurting Kieran. Though Kieran had told her that Kieran already forgave her, Mio wasn't heard Kieran and kept silent along the way.Kieran looked at Mio and said, "Come on, I told you that I’ve forgiven you, didn't I?""Leave me, I cannot control myself," Mio answered with a low and vibrant voice.Kieran stood and strolled toward Mio.

A damp eye with a drop of tear wetting the cheeks, messed bangs, and a depressed expression made Kieran feel sympathy.Kieran realized that Mio's sadness was not only about him but about her past and trauma.

Old Hansen, Kieran, and Mio booked two rooms at an inn in Jormund village. They got a break after dinner at the inn was over."Are you sick? I feel like you've been a little weird ever since you entered this village," Kieran said to Mio. The Kitsune wagged its tail slowly. She seemed a little quieter than usual.Mio replied quietly, "I just feel uncomfortable."Kieran turned his attention; he opened the bedroom window to breathe fresh air. For a moment, he saw the view of Jormund Village. After a while, he then closed and locked the window."Why would they create a village in a place like this?

This place was not the ideal place to make a settlement.""I don't know, I'm also curious. But I guess it's best not to think about it too much, tomorrow we will also leave this place," Mio replied to Kieran'
