"I'm sorry lads but I think this is goodbye. However, it was nice to play hide-and-seek with quite fine gentlemen."
_Hermis zeyfa Zargota_

It was a sheer shock seeing him. I knew it was already time but I could never be ready for the commotion he brought everywhere with him. I remember it like this with no alterations.

"Surrender and you will be laid off easily" The commander of the Zargotian Army shouted leading an army of 100humans aiming weapons at the most dangerous threat. The creature, donned in all navy blue wearing an overcoat covering it's head, was seen leaping over The Walls and leaving then later entering Zargota. Although, this wasn't the first time they tried to capture and kill the lithe and agile unidentified creature. All this unidentified creatures were dubbed UCs.
"My good Sir, let me first hear your part of the bargain." A voice sounded out of the UC, sounding gentle, collected and quite calm for a creature at the door to death, revealing a charming male voice,
"I'm afraid I can't do that gentlemen. It's only fair to allow you to catch me. Well that's if you can."

After his well structured speech, the UC threw a certain object to the ground causing a huge blast where the sun spread making it impossible to see through. There 100 man army frantically started firing weapons towards the direction of the UC. He jumped onto the wall and used hooks to climb up the wall. He looked back down and spoke out, "I'm sorry lads but I think this is goodbye. However it was nice to play hide-and-seek with quite fine gentlemen." He said then flipped backwards entering Zargota . His fall was broken by a cart full of hay. He quickly hid behind a wall and watched the soldiers pass by him with a smirk.

When the coast was clear, he quickly removed his overcoat and threw it into his bag. He turned revealing a head full of jett black hair and a handsome face that looks like that of any handsome man.

After strolling threw the market, he arrived at a bar. The words 'JUD'S' could be seen above the door. He sat at a stool at the bar counter.
He set his loaded bag on the table. The bag contained a shiny 5gram rock, his overcoat and two pieces piece of paper, one yellow and another red. He secretly took out the yellow piece of paper that had some sort of list of items. He ticked off Domeph being the last item on his list. He read through his list and I'm sure this is the exact list.
                 I.Risal✓
                II. Saz✓
               III. Porsu✓
              IV. Lomsu✓
               V. Hexim✓
              VI. Poyt✓
             VII. Erexina loy Ruyo
            VIII. Otwlp✓
              IX. Elo✓
               X. Zgewat✓
              XI. Demoph✓

He looked at his list and looked at the unticked item. He looked at it and his indifferent face morphed into a confused facial expression.
He was broken out of his reverie feeling breathing next to his ear. He slightly turned his head and looked at the person standing looking closely at his list.
"What's in the bag?" The person asked the person taking a seat next to him. He kept mum and looked back at the words 'Erexina loy Ruyo' "I'm Jud Nybss, the owner of the place." The person spoke out again. Seeing as he was being ignored, Jud spoke out again, "I know what Erexina loy Ruyo means."

This caught his attention. "Tell me."
"Can I first get a name?" Jud emphasized. But the other partner in dialogue looked back at the list, thinking, seemingly ignoring Jud. After two minute, he looked back to Jud who downing beer.
"Hermis" He stated startling Jud and making him choke. "Huh"
" Name is Hermis," he stated again slightly amused by Jud's chocking, "Hermis, no surname."
