" Alex, you should be resting right now."
" No, you called for a healer and while my magic doesn't specialize in healing, I do. Coming from a small civilization, everyone had to play their part, even the lord, which is part of the reason I learned these sorts of things... See, he's already waking up."
The freckled girl walked over to where Dante and Katelyn were watching as Aphmau raced to her friend's side.
" Laurence! Laurence... please don't leave me..."
" Leave you? You'd have to do something pretty stupid for me to ever even consider tha- oww... where am I?"
" Well, at least he's kept his humor."
" I found you unconscious, you're in your room right now."
" Unconcious? That doesn't sound like me... ugh, my head really hurts, whoever knocked me out... wait... knocked me out?... Garroth!"
Alex quickly took a step forward." What about Garroth? Is he alright!?"
" Nobody's seen him since the peace started, so I'm not sure..."
" No. Lord Aphmau, Garroth took the amulet from me."
" Oh no..."
Aphmau laughed lightly, seemingly not hearing Alex's quiet exclamation." What? Laurence, I think you hit your head too hard, you're delusional right now."
" Look into my eyes Aphmau, Garroth took the amulet. He knocked me out and he took the amulet from my pocket. Lord Aphmau, I have no idea what he's thinking, but as long as that amulet is on him he's a target for Zane's onslaught. We need to find him now!"
" Wh- Why would he- what?" Aphmau turned to where the other three were standing for help.
" Garroth... why?... We need to get Kenmur, his invention can help us find Garroth faster."
" I agree."
" Let me help look for Garroth with you, if he took the Amulet I've got a bad feeling about this."
" I'm coming too, I knew something was off but I didn't think..."
" Alex?" Aphmau placed a hand on her friend's shoulder." You know something about what's going on?"
" The way I found out about what was going on with Lillian was that I overheard her talking to Garroth. Whatever she was saying seemed to be helping, so after she left I went to thank her when I overheard her saying something off. I went back night by night, and began to suspect something was off, but I didn't think it would affect Garroth this much."
" Okay... Laurence, if you're well enough to come with us, please do, let's start a search party for Garroth now, quickly."

" You..."
The mysterious figure who had helped the town earlier responded to Aphmau." I see you've finally caught up. Garroth went out this way, I've been tracking him, but we'll lose him if we don't get to him now."
" Do you have any idea why he would take the amulet?"
" He must be taking it to Zane, Zane knows that amulet can take him to whatever dimension he desires."
" What? Why would Zane want to go to another dimension?"
" I have no idea. It's Zane, whatever he's up to can't be good."
