Lorena's POV:

Lord of Bright Port: "It's good to be home... I see my village has become... well.. different while I was away. The roads are gone and the people are astray. Looks like I need to get back to work to restore it to its former glory!"

"So... what exactly is going on? I've been hearing so many rumors about Lord's disappearing and this... this King! It's like he doesn't want anyone or rather any village to become any... better!"

Lord of Bright Port: "The King is a vile man... years ago he was a Lord, much like myself, and you, but something happened and he became twisted... not only him but everyone he influenced became twisted and swore ultimate loyalty to him. I myself have lost a few noble guards to him due to his influence... thank goodness the light protects Azura."

"The... the light?"

Lord of Bright Port: "It's a bond between a Lord and guard that cannot be broken. Only few guards have pure hearts that cannot be tainted into becoming those... shadow knights. Anyway, after becoming twisted he declared himself as King! If a Lord does not surrender his village to him...well... that Lord goes missing. Dead or imprisoned I know not. I left my village to find a way to put an end to this madness when I came upon the werewolves and attempted to help but... well you see where I am now."

"Yes, but... can we do anything about this?"

Lord of Bright Port: "I'm afraid after these recent events our best bet is to stand down and hope the King doesn't come after us... right now I'm in no shape to find any answers. I think for the time being I'm going to rest and secure my village. But here... it's... it's not full healing magic but this is the last of my magic healing potions. Take it to your friend, I'm sure this will help him."

"Thank you, I'll never forget this."

Lord of Bright Port: "Consider us even. Now, I need to rest. Good luck on your travels."

I nod and thank him as I head out of his home. I see Azura outside guarding the Lord's home and I say my goodbye to her as I run to my ship. When I get to the docks I jump on my ship and maneuver towards my village. After a few minutes I see the docks come into view and Brenden waving at me. I stop the ship next to the docks and jump off. I walk up to Brenden.

Brenden: "Thank the Heavens you are back, and not a moment too soon! Garroth lies on death's door... did you bring the Lord of Bright Port?"

"No, but I have a magic healing potion - it should be just as good."

Brenden: "Thank goodness. Quick, take it to Garroth!"

I nod my head and run towards the farm house. When I get there I barge the door to find Kiki watching over Garroth with Thorgi by his side. I run up to him and gently lift his head with one hand and help him drink the potion with the other. I see Garroth beginning to stir awake.

Garroth: "Wh-Where... Where am I...? WHERE'S ZENIX!?"

"Calm down, you're safe. What happened?"

Garroth: "What happened? ... Last I remember Zenix and I were going to investigate a suspicious door... we suspected it might have been a hideout of the man who shot Brenden but... I went to the door and the next thing I know there's an arrow in my chest.

Zenix said he saw a man with a mask who shot it and chased after him. That's when I blacked out."

I decide to tell him about the events of Bright Port and Zenix.
