>>> Located at Arkos at the left part of Incos' kingdom. Like The Bridge, it is also a stop house for many travelers. But the difference is that Xecma has a magical bell in every house that creates various sounds depending on the emotions of the people. It is also a place that is alive like Kar-thal.

>>> When the people are afraid. Xecma automatically generates a magical barrier around it as an instinct to protect the people in there. Nobody can get in or get out. In order to keep the barrier, the people must stay in fear and they will be trapped inside until they are rescued. And the more afraid the people are, the louder that the bell is making a sound and nobody can stop or destroy it.

>>> Arcadia's infamous prison. Located under the Southern ocean near the island where its extension, Kar-thal is located. The way to enter the Vialem is by swimming down to the Kaito Trench and passing the sea monster that guards it. And then at the bottom of the trench, the Vialem is built which is also guarded by a shadow.

"They're swarming everywhere. I thought they said there's only two here. Did I misheard it from twenty two?" Eli signed to the others with an irritated expression.

It's only just a few of them who went to Xecma. Acrox, Ruan, Eli and his cousin, Yue. They are also accompanied by other Incos and Cins but not too many that might draw them attention as they are also notified of the scattered Arcadians infected by the Kades plague pretending to be a survivor.

So they have agreed to stay hidden and avoid being seen by any pretentious infected.

"This is Xecma! Did you forget that they also said to expect the worst?" Acrox signed back.

"Are you backing out? You were so confident earlier when you agreed to come to this location!" Yue teased. She and Ruan would have laughed at his reaction but it's not the time for that now.

"Come on. Let's make a plan on how we can draw them away from that place." Ruan suggested.

"Even if we lure them away. They might not buy it because it's too loud at Xecma and it will just bring them back even if we distract them for a bit." Eli added while biting his finger out of frustration.

"Since it's too loud. Maybe we don't have to lure them away." Acrox suggested as an idea eventually popped in his mind.

"They're too busy hearing only the loudest bell noises from Xecma so they probably won't hear us if we laugh behind them." He added and everyone began to think about it as they watched the Quinses that are trying to destroy the barrier like some mindless monsters.

"You're right. They won't hear us in that state. We can kill them without them noticing!" Yue said as she eventually realized what Acrox meant.

"But if the people see us doing that plan, they might feel relieved and the bells will begin to stop if it senses that the people are relieved. Not simply happy but totally relieved because we are helping. It might make the barrier disappear and it will be dangerous for the people." Ruan suddenly said, which put a dent to their plan.

"If only I could come inside, I can scare them off." Acrox suggested.

"But nothing can get inside as long as they are afraid. We need someone who knows how to teleport. But it will be a waste of time if we look for someone." Eli said.
