Alfayiz, Ilek and Telos stop at a nearby hospital for Mahō.

"What do you need treated?" The receptionist questions, in a cheery tone.

"Broken arm" Alfayiz replies.

"That's it? We can have that treated in five minutes."

"Thank you."

Alfayiz pays a fee of 150 dollars for his treatment.

Alfayiz, Ilek and Telos leave after Alfayiz gets treated, and head on their way.

On their way, the three encounter an Insaanon being attacked by five Mahō.

"Hey, Look!" Alfayiz tells the others.

"What do we do!?" Asks Ilek.

"I say we leave it." Telos suggests.

"We can't." Alfayiz says to Telos sternly.

"If we do, we're no worse than the people waging this war."

"I guess..." Telos sighs.

The three get ready for a fight and Ilek takes them over to the Insaanon and Mahō.

"Are you okay?" Ilek questions, concerned.

But then the three realize that the Insaanon being attacked was actually bait, and they were one of the Mahō.

"I told you!" Shouts Telos.

"It's fine. We can win." Alfayiz confidently reassures Telos.

"It's six on one, we're gonna kill you three!" One of the Mahō excitedly cackles.

Telos prepares his ice sword.
Ilek gets out his daggers.
Alfayiz starts pre-preparing water.

Alfayiz opens with a cold remark. "After I've realized how cruel this world is, I have no mercy for people like you." He tells all six of the Mahō.

"What does it matter if you're dead?" One of the other Mahō giggle.
Alfayiz makes a water razor and cuts one of their heads off.

"Great job, Alfayiz! That's one down early!" Telos compliments Alfayiz.

Telos uses rise to get high ground on them, and he jumps down, encasing his leg in ice, planning to decapitate one, or two if he's lucky.

Ilek dashes behind one of them, but it's prepared and swings it's tail at him.
"How is it so fast!?" Ilek thinks to himself about half a second before he's hit by it.
Telos jumps down, but the Mahō dodges, and tries to punch him. Telos blocks, and uses ice cage on it. He's planning to encase it in ice until it shatters the cage, and lunges towards Telos. Telos jumps back, but the Mahō still lands a punch on Telos's face.
Telos leg sweeps the Mahō, jets above him and kicks him in the face.

After Ilek is hit, he reassess the situation and sees an opening behind the Mahō he's fighting and tries to dash behind him, and gets off a stab on the Mahō.

He then kicks it in the face, but while it's falling it scorches his face, by expelling fire from it's foot.

Ilek screams, and expels a bolt from his hand, intending to shock the Mahō.

*ZzAP!*
It hits, and the Mahō is stunned, so Ilek goes in for a punch, he hits, then stabs the Mahō in the leg. He then knees the Mahō in the stomach, and lifts him by the throat.

Telos, has his leg grabbed, and the Mahō tries to twist and break it. But Telos freezes his leg, along with the Mahō's hands, and he cuts off the Mahō's hands.
He then throws an ice dagger at the Mahō's neck.

The Mahō dodges it. "Is that all you've got?" He confidently exclaims, so this is why he's confused when his vision turns upside down.
Telos broke his neck. He then uses rise to send an icicle up from the ground, into his heart. He jets over to help Alfayiz with the people he's fighting.

Meanwhile, Ilek is strangling the Mahō he was fighting.

"Where's Malin?" He interrogates the Mahō.

"I don't know!"

Ilek looks confused.

"He's just been giving us orders from the shadows, through other people. We've never actually met or seen him."

Ilek squeezes harder. "Tell the truth."

"It is the truth! I swear!"

"Fine."

Ilek throws the Mahō up into the air, and cuts off his head.

He also goes to help Alfayiz.

The remaining three Mahō  are attacking Fayiz when Ilek and Telos arrive.

Fayiz uses his water sword and stabs one in the chest, before elbowing it in the face, then he walks away, and drops to the floor, tired. Suddenly the Mahō he was fighting drops to the ground, and falls into hundreds of pieces.

"Fayiz, you okay? We can take it from here." Ilek tries to help Alfayiz up.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Leave me here, and help Telos til the last two are dead.

Telos and Ilek kill the last two, before returning to Alfayiz, and taking a rest at a hotel.

The next day, they set off again.

It's morning when they wake up, and they see a mysterious woman with a mask sitting on top of a pole. From it's appearance it would seem to be an Insaanon, but it's movements were... unnatural.

"Malin... will end all three of you. And our-"

It pauses for a second for continuing.

"Your kind."

She finishes her sentence before disappearing.

The other three stare in shock and confusion.

"What was that?!" Ilek asks the other two.

Alfayiz replies, after calming down. "I don't know, but it sounds like trouble. Let's go."

They continue walking. They see a house with an eerie aura.

"Think that's it?" Ilek asks, in a ready tone.

"No doubt." Alfayiz confidently declares. "Let's go."
