The next day everyone was outside relaxing. Subaru and Kajah where practicing with each other to improve their abilities. At the same time Rowsaal was looking out the window observing everyone when he gets approached by Beatrice.
Rowsaal: How long do you intend to watch me Beatrice.
Beatrice: I have a question for you.
Rowsaal: Oh? And what might that be?
Beatrice: Ever sense you returned from the Sanctuary you have been acting odd. What happened there?
He stands there with his odd smile looking in her direction.
Beatrice: Ro-
Rowsaal: It was something that changed everything about this world that I could ever imagine. Knowing that someone else has been and seen more hell than me is something I've never would have imagined.
Beatrice: Huh?
Rowsaal: I'll explain, please have a seat.
She sits and awaits his story.
Rowsaal: It was when I was away.
[Flash Back]
After saving Subaru and the others from encountering Gluttony and Greed Yoshiro and Ava went to their next destination that same day.
Yoshiro: This must be the location.
Ava: Hmmm the presence here.
Yoshiro: Can you get the job done?
Ava: *smiles* Leave it to me.
Yoshiro: Right in that case I'll search for my targets.
As he began getting closer to the town he was met with Garfiel.
Garfiel: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!
Yoshiro: Hm?
CRASH!!!
Garfiel: Your scent. *tisk* The Hell are you?
Yoshiro: I've no intentions of fighting you. However if you get in my way I will kill you.
Garfiel: HAH! Then let's see how much you can back those words.
Yoshiro: Foolish child.
Ryuzu Meyer: Garfiel stop.
Garfiel: Huh?
Ryuzu Meyer: I can tell he's capable of doing serious destruction if he wants to. Who are you and why are you here?
Yoshiro: I am Yoshiro, a demon disciple of a god known as Genesis.
Garfiel: God? HA! Don't make me laugh.
Ava:*smiles* I'm Ava it's so nice to meet you.
Ryuzu Meyer: You two are definitely not from here yet you two know how to get here.
Yoshiro: I'm here for the man known as Rowsaal. I don't have a lot of time as I still have things to do once this area is taken care of.
Ryuzu Meyer: I don't trust you but I cannot have you destroying everything. Can you promise me that you will not?
Yoshiro: You have my word.
The four began walking into the old town.
Ava: Wooow this place has the sense of some powerful spell huh.
Garfiel: Huh? You know about the spell?
Yoshiro: She doesn't however one of her abilities allows her to see and feel powerful curses or spells. That being said, can you handle it Ava?
Ava: Mhm!
Yoshiro: Good.
Ryuzu Meyer: (They are definitely planning something. Why such a question?)
Garfiel: HAH you really think she can break the spell?
Yoshiro: Not break, bypass it.
Garfiel: Huh?
Yoshiro: She will explain when it's time.
Ryuzu Meyer: here we are.
Yoshiro: Thanks. Ava get everyone from Irlam Village and get them out. Anyone that wants to stay keep them hidden for now. Once I'm done with Rowsaal I will take care of anything he has done back there before the one known as Subaru returns.
Ava: Mhm!
Ryuzu Meyer: Huh? Wait what are you doing?
Garfiel: Heh no way I'm gonna let you try something funny.
Yoshiro: *stare of death* Quiet boy.
Garfiel: *ngh*
In that moment Garfiel felt his body torn to pieces.
Garfiel: ...(wh-What's with this guy?)
Yoshiro: You have a strong will and will take on anyone or anything regardless of the skill gap. You have my respect kid. However...my power and strength is beyond this world. The fact that I'm willing to help the people here should be enough reason to not engage a fight with me.
Garfiel: *tisk* ...
Yoshiro: Oh by the way, is Ram here as well?
Garfiel: Huh? WHAT BUSINESS DO YOU WANT WITH HER!?
Yoshiro: ...
Garfiel: m-my bad.
Yoshiro: Anyway Good She can go with Ava back to the mansion once I'm done with Roswaal. I have to talk to him in private so if you would all go.
Ryuzu Meyer: Of course. Garfiel lets leave them for now.
Garfiel: like we have a choice.
Yoshiro: I greatly appreciate it.
They leave Yoshiro to Roswaal but still are suspicious of him.
Roswaal: My my what an interesting  person you are.
Yoshiro: I've no time for your games clown.
He unsheathes Limbo from its sheath and castes a very powerful spell.
Yoshiro: Room rift.
Rowsaal: Hm?
The entire room became surrounded by space like substance. The window outside was completely dark with no end in sight.
Roswaal: What is this?
Yoshiro: A rift in space and time. Here we can talk loud as we want. Not only that but, this is where Lord Genesis wanted me to bring you.
Rowsaal: Oh? And this Genesis you speak of. Who is he again?
Yoshiro: I'll give you more info on that later. For now listen.
Rowsaal gets quiet as the tension between them becomes more serious.
Yoshiro: I've taken care two members belonging to this Witch cult. One named Greed and another named Gluttony.
Rowsaal: oh? (Seriously?)
Yoshiro: not only that I'm on a mission to help the one named Subaru until I'm told otherwise. He's suppose to come here yes. That's what your book says.
Rowsaal: *shocked look* How did you know about my book?
Yoshiro: I've seen all the events that have and will transpire here. I must say you truly are twisted. However I care not for your goals. For now I need your book.
Rowsaal gives him a serous threatening look.
Rowsaal: And if I refuse?
Yoshiro: then I'll erase you from existence here and now.
Rowsaal: oh really now.
Yoshiro: Do not miss understand. I'm not asking you for it. I'm telling you to give it to me or I'll erase everything you've worked so hard to get. All 400+ years gone to waist in an instant.
Rowsaal: (How does he...) I see...
Knowing the situation he's in and how powerful he can tell Yoshiro is, he reluctantly gives the book that was under his pillow to him.
Rowsaal: ...now what.
Yoshiro: Now I'll take care of the rodents here. For now I need you to maintain your clueless self. You will not tell them anything about this conversation.
Rowsaal: And if I do?
Yoshiro: The mark I placed on your chest will reset you to this time.
Rowsaal: what?
He looks down to see a strange mark where his heart is.
Rowsaal: When did you-
Yoshiro: The moment I unsheathed Limbo. This sword manipulates time and space. It's very specific on its user to.
Rowsaal: Heh...hahahahahah!
Yoshiro: Hm?
Rowsaal: Out smarted, our matched, out played and out of options. You truly have everything in order before you came here. Not to mention did so much research on me.
Yoshiro: I know how you work so yes I had to. You don't know it but we have been here before. All your attempts have lead you to this final ultimatum.
Rowsaal: what? I don't remember anything. Not even the slightest.
Yoshiro: That is the power of Limbo. A sword made from one of the seven beasts of destruction. Now then Ram has not seen me. That's good. I require you to return as well and, to tell Frederica to return here after I'm done. I should have enough time to kill those rodents and have her return here as well as the other residents that want to stay and live here. That being said Ryuzu I have to keep her real body safe. I'll place a protective spell around her area. Now there's also that child. Hmm perhaps she will join later now.
Rowsaal: Question.
Yoshiro: hm?
Rowsaal: Can you guaranteed that my gospel will be safe.
Yoshiro: Yes this is only reassurance.
Rowsaal: I see. So tell me then. How long have you been alive?
Yoshiro: Over 1000 years of living will get you this far. You're still learning how to deal with this inner conflict of yours. After living for so long, you tend to learn more about the world. Not to mention become more powerful than you could ever imagine.
Rowsaal: Well now...that's something.
Yoshiro: We are finished here. I will talk to you again in a much later time. Remember, do not talk about this conversation.
He dispels Limbo's ability and had them both back in the Sanctuary.
Rowsaal: *looks outside* my such a powerful spell.
Several knocks on the door is herd fallowed by Ram's concerned voice.
Ram: Rowsaal? Hello? Is everything ok?
Rowsaal: Yes yes I'll be out in a minute. Oh and Ram.
Ram: Yes?
Rowsaal: If you see a woman sending the villagers back do follow her orders.
Ram: O-ok?
Yoshiro: Very wise.
Rowsaal: Well I guess I'll start going now.
Yoshiro: I will not show myself yet however Ava can change her appearance.
After taking his belongings out he is met with a large group of people from Irlam village.
Rowsaal: So...everyone will return before Subaru returns. Wonder how-
Before he could finish a massive roar is herd. Everyone is shocked and scared at first but relax after seen Ava in an gorgeous dress and looking like a High Elf.
Ava: *warm smiles* Hello everyone, I was told you all wanted to return home?
Villager M: Who are you?
Ava: I am Ava a high Elf That's can help you return home. I know this will sound crazy but please step into my dragon's mouth.
Villager F: What?! No way!
Village elder: Miss I understand you want to help us. I can tell you intentions are honest but...
Ava: Hmmm
The Dragon opens its mouth wide. She steps inside it and talks to them again.
Ava: I will stay here if you are all afraid. I can understand why but please step inside and don't stop walking. You all will return home no questions.
Village Elder: (She's actually willing to sacrifice herself for all of us strangers?) hmmm
Ava: *pure and honest look*
Village Elder: I believe her.
Village F: What?
Villager M: You can't be serious!
Village Elder: I can tell she isn't lying. Not to mention if she wanted to kill us, she would have done so already. This dragon is big enough to do that on it's own don't you agree.
The Villagers spoke with each other about the decision to go through or not. In the end they all decided to believe in the Elders words.
Villager M: Ok
They all walk past leaving Ram and Rowsaal the last two to go.
Rowsaal: Well Lets go Ram.
Ram: Mhm
Garfiel: Wait Ram I...umm *tisk* never mind.
Ram: Do take care.
Garfiel: Yah yah. Wait what?!
They walk into its mouth then Ava gives the order to close it.
Ava: Annnnd safe.
Garfiel: Now what about the others that stayed?
Yoshiro: You along with the other gather up into one spot and stay there till I say so. The events that where to happen here have once again been changed. Ava.
Ava: Yes?
Yoshiro: Make sure you get everyone that stayed. Garfiel.
Garfiel: Hm?
Yoshiro: Do not be a hero. You are to stay with them and not leave out.  Ryuzu Mayer I need you to also not interfere with what will unfold here soon. I will have your sister here as well Garfiel so do keep yourself calm or I will knock you out for the time being.
Garfiel: GRRRR!!
Yoshiro: *slowly draws sword* do you think your strong enough.
Garfiel: ...
Yoshiro: Now then I have lots of work to prepare for so for now rest up.
Meanwhile the villagers from Irlam have managed to wake up in their homes.
Villager F: what? Was I dreaming?
Village Elder: Well well looks like she was true hahah. What a lovely girl she was.
At the same time Rowsaal informs Frederica to return back home for now. She was confused but didn't question why.
That same day Subaru, Emilia and the others returned home after a long hard day and discussion of the White Wale. As promised Rowsaal tells Subaru nothing and Rowsaal told Ram not to mention the Sanctuary.
[Back in the Sanctuary]
After telling everyone to hide in one spot he placed a powerful barrier for them and did the same for the original body of Ryuzu. He was able to find a spot to relax before his next Beast encounter.
Yoshiro: *huff huff huff* (Dam...using Limbo then two extremely powerful Barrier spells really did a number on my body.) hm. Speak now or die.
Ryuzu Meyer: I should have just walked up to you huh.
Yoshiro: What do you want?
Ryuzu Meyer: I'm surprised to see you looking venerable.
Yoshiro: Do not be mistaken. I've not used this much mana in my human form in years. I've only done too much too soon.
Ryuzu Meyer: Human form?
Yoshiro: Hm I suppose I'll just explain to you.
