Fallacy woke her entire body sore and she felt the familiar weight and wrapping of bandages as she opened her eyes. Memories of what happened flooded her and it was safe to say that she wasn't happy. She wasn't angry either just numb as she forced herself up. She needed to plan her next move where she would go from here and if she would protect her kids.

"Woah. Easy Fallacy you are pretty hurt," She heard Jako say. She turned to him.

"To hell with that," She said her voice lacking emotions and sounding as hollow as she felt. Jako did not like the sound of that. Fallacy got up and walked to the crib beside her bed. It held her kids.

"Keep them safe while I figure out what to do. If you haven't figured out Encre did this," She said. Jako looked at her bitterly.

"Just don't give him another chance," Jako said. She said nothing grabbing her amulet and teleporting to a spot between well she didn't know where she was going just that she have faint memories of the place. It could be in agdan it could be in Encre's forest she didn't know nor did she care. She was seething with rage but she knew better than to take it out on Encre so trees became her victim. She ran with bloody bandages and bruises showing through the forest training her body and properly overdid it considering that she was hurt. She lost track of time but knew one thing. When she stopped she was crying. She loved Encre. She trusted him. She never thought he would ever hurt her. She sat by a lake or rather in it. Her body was halfway submerged in the cold water. She was crying sobbing nearly screaming to herself. She needed to cool down fast. Slowly she leaned back covering her head tears still streaming. No thoughts went through her mind not a single one as the cold water flooded over her. Not until she felt the burning in her body from almost drowning. A thought, just a tiny and insignificant thought hit her like a bullet. Mother wanted me dead. Fallacy got up instantly coughing and hacking trying to catch her breath. It would be a cold day in hell before she would let that old hag win. She got up. Her mother would burn in hell even when the gates would open and if they meet Fallacy would gladly kill her again. If she wanted to commit suicide then it would have to wait until after she had had that chance. The chance to look her mother in the eyes and Say. I am already a better mother than you. She wanted to make Encre pay for hurting her. But first, she had to mend her wounds. She walked out of the cold water getting up and not noticing her creature who had been ready to take her out of the water in case she would try and drown herself. A strong smell hit her nose as she walked. Garlic and a more potent version than what they had at the castle. This garlic wasn't Vampire safe she could tell. A smile made its way on her face as she walked towards it seeing this clearing with wild plants and herbs. It held abandoned tents and houses that were almost rotted away to nothing. As she walked she saw the flag of the werewolves almost rot away and deteriorated. How symbolic. She walked into an abandoned camp and saw their rotting flag after she effectively made a revolution in their kingdom. She walked to the middle of the abandoned camp and felt the warmth of the morning sun embrace her. She sat down emptied her head and her body and went into the stage of a blind warrior allowing for the natural mana to course through her body and heal it. She will throw up once done, but it will give her a sense of calm like no other and let her be one step closer to gaining immunity. She took a deep breath before it stilled.

Randalf was pissed. He had been talking with a friend of his saying how his granddaughter was fine only to know that the statement was false. He had left his friend and teleported to the castle facing Plumo and demanding to know where Fallacy was.

"She is not here," Plumo just said.

"THEN WHERE IS SHE?" He yelled at her.

"Yelling will not make me tell you a thing especially when I do not know the answer," Plumo said looking at Randalf with disapproval. She rounded up all the servants.

"Randalf I will be honest with you. My grandson did something horrible that will cost him everything I don't even know if Fallacy is alive," Plumo didn't get to say more as Randalf stormed out. He found Reaper rather quickly.

"What happened?" Randalf asked pissed off. Reaper sighed knowing the old man would have to know at one point.

"I don't know exactly what happened nor how hurt Fallac-"

"Where is she and which one of the two do I have to kill," Randalf interjected. Reaper looked up surprised by the loudness and how Randalf seemingly grew bigger with his rage.

"I don't know where she is and We can't let you kill eighter of them," Reaper said.

"It's Encre," Randalf said his statement proving right.

"Look I will make this clear if you find her before I do then I will not kill the trade in this country. Nor take her or my great-grandchildren. You better get going," Randalf said and left. Encre had calmed after an hour and he too knew instinctively that he had to find Fallacy. HE broke his way out of the cell and was running following her scent better than her dogs.

Reaper and his men ran for hours as the sun started to rise. The day was ending and they found the bloody prints and destroyed trees that somehow reassembled themself as they realized they were now in werewolf territory. They had to be careful but the dogs found the scent quickly and ran faster than before as they came to a lake. They walked over as the dogs ran into the water and Bel picked up Fallacy's pouch. She brought it back. Reaper stared at it hoping this didn't mean what he thought it meant.

"Search the water. See if you can find her cloth," Reaper ordered but He hoped they wouldn't. The dogs continued to smell the air looking for any clues until eventually a breeze came and they ran. Reaper took half his men to follow him as they followed the dogs. Then they came to the clearing the air harmed them and they had to let the dogs run. They surrounded the ruins and eventually saw Fallacy sitting in the middle. They saw her safe and what appeared to be sleeping peacefully as her dogs had run to her. She woke from her trance having her most major wounds healed enough for them to not hurt and that was about it. Fallacy smiled at her dogs who licked her and curled up around her hoping to protect her. She looked up and saw diaran knowing this meant encre was close. Fallacy didn't mind she pet her dogs softly and refused any magic Diarna tried to give her. Encre had to see the damage he had done. Fallacy looked around her and saw vampires standing by the edge. The sun had just set and she felt the warm summer breeze hit her face. It was very calming. Her dogs were relaxing in her hold and she decided to continue to let the natural mana course through her body. Encre had just made it there following his phoenix and saw Fallacy. Her body was hurt and he got closer only to feel the effect of the garlic. Got dammit. he saw Reaper standing by the meadow.

"Randalf told us to find her before him or he would screw over the country's economy and murder you," Reaper said. Encre sighed as he looked at Fallacy.

"At least we found her," He said looking in.

"Be grateful that she is alive. Encre I hate to say this but in you, I see your father. If anything like this happens again expect a revolution," Reaper warned.

"I know but currently my priority is to get Fallacy to a healer and the children home," Encre said looking in.

"How are we gonna do that?" Reaper asked. Encre sighed.

"I may not be a daywalker but I do have some immunity to garlic," Encre said as he started walking into the field. The soldiers told him to come back but he ignored them forcing himself to ignore the suffocating feeling of the natural garlic. He wheezed almost having an allergic reaction but he was a skeleton. He didn't need to breathe. While he was sufficated he learned that he did in fact need to breathe yet he was so close to fallacy that turning back was not an option. He powered through picked her up ignored her dogs and walked. Fallacy was asleep from the mana. She didn't notice Encre picking her up. He got out of the field and nearly collapsed as Fallacy was taken from him by a healer. Encre was picked up by two guards and all of them were brought back to the castle.
