Pursuing the path that Kawera had paved for them, the escapees made sure to make a safe escape far enough to be out of the grasp of Grand Gray...They all flew towards the mainland to provide aid to the injured and in ensuing battles. Kura's heart was numb, although it beat as it would, his ability to feel it thinking about the horrors that Rael's actions caused made part of him feel dead. It was also at that point Kura was starting to realize the importance of Master Ryukyuriu! 

Narrator and Kura's voice: "Following Rael's tyranny, General Axard's army, the Astute Squadron would decide to cut corners and join hands with Rael. As they saw it to be the easiest way to ensure their survival, the hope that the citizens had lost became grimmer when the ones who were supposed to prove their duties and protect the land decided to turn their backs on them...I had left the land years earlier, but I was one of the only people alive who weren't citizens of the land anymore yet knew the tale of its tyranny! I couldn't do much at that time either as I was only so brave to stand against the TARC itself. When the time came to choose the five saviours, however, people who had been trained by Master Ryukyuriu held hands to protect their land. The only thing that stopped me from being one of the five saviours was you, Reachlie. There were a few obstacles in my way, the first would be that if I joined the five saviours it'd mean I'd have resigned from Wisdom Sparkle. I wouldn't be in any place or near powerful enough to hold two titles at once! The second problem would follow after the first, if I'd leave the guild and become one of the saviours, knowing you that'd mean your intervention and what this land is like right now, would be the case at that time, you wouldn't be strong enough to fight Rael or for that matter, none of us would be! That would mean the absolute end of our guild, and thus I had to hold back my hand. All five saviours weren't from the Land of Books, and there was a good reason for it...People who knew the truth about Rael's brutal rule in the outer world, and although they were only a chosen few, many of them decided to help and not let Master Ryukyuriu choose people from inside the land; their reason was also one that would tackle Rael! 

All five people who chose to become a saviour had grown from years of training and some of them were by my side for much of my childhood, they as well as I had grown much and created influence in the outer world, people even if a few knew us for the things we'd done. Knowing influential people were the saviours, Rael wouldn't be able to kill them and get away with it that easily! If people from inside the land didn't have much support in the outer world, someone like Wu Dang wasn't fit to become a saviour as he could be killed and his death could be covered...For that reason, all the saviours came together from the outer world! Plus, people who became the saviours weren't part of some group, organization, or guild as I was; so they could hold an official title as a saviour of the Land of Books. And if these saviours were to be banished, it would cause some margin of uproar amongst a group of people who knew them!

This strong stance taken against Rael caused him to feel warier of Master Ryukyuriu and the capacity of power he held both inside the land and outside...Not killing the saviours didn't mean, Rael would have to leave the land and not be able to pursue his motives anymore, and so was the case. The appearance of the saviours only caused a little shockwave, and Rael wasn't faltered from his plans! Although he didn't see the saviours as an immediate threat to his rule, he did see them as obstacles and to stay up-to-date with every little thing happening in the land, he employed the largest number of the Royal Legion in every corner of the land. They would roam and mix up with normal people, keep low profiles, and always keep examining the citizens and all their moves. The only time when they disappeared was during the night when the citizens slept...

Rael always fret the Hevor tribe as they had an extraordinary sense of intelligence and workmanship...This power of theirs was most well seen when they could predict the separation of a piece of land from the mainland, Land of Hevor. This piece of land would go on to become the territory where the present-day Grand Gray stands! This prediction was made 10 years before Rael came to rule the land. On the fateful night also known as, 'The Night of Genocide'. On that moonlit night, the Hevor tribe would become history! The events of that inevitable night were long planned to happen. According to the '10 Fundamental Statutes' created by the Main Council to preserve order...The 4th Statute reads, "All aboriginal peoples who had long lived on a land are the only ones who are entitled to its governance; the only excuse for a person who is not aboriginal to take power is if he or she has the approval to from the aboriginal peoples of the respective land or an aboriginal leader no matter current or former in status!", Rael took control of the land by forcing Hius Hector under a dire situation. The only reason the Main Council later allowed Rael to keep the power was that Hius Hector, who is from the Hevor tribe was forced to give him the approval to govern...
