⚠️ TW : A woman does get hit in this chapter ⚠️

Before her vision starts to darken the last thing she sees is a figure with a black cloak and armor, diving off the bridge after her.

A little after seeing the figure, Sandy wakes up on the riverbed coughing out the water she swallowed. Now on her side, she spits out the rest of the water until she finally notices the hand on her shoulder. She turns and looks over her shoulder at the figure that helped her. Taking in the figure's features, they speak, "Are you alright?" By the sound of their voice, Sandy determines that they are male, she looks into the bright blue eyes in front of her, which are the only thing she can see of the man in front of her. Everything else is covered by the black cloak, his nose and mouth are covered by a mask. Remembering that he asked her a question, she nods and then speaks, "Yes, I am alright. Thank you. I'm Sandy" The man nods and then stands up, offering his hand to Sandy to help her up. "Elaith, I have heard of you. You insulted Venlar." Her eyes would widen at the words coming out of his mouth, "You are from Konora?" He just gives a simple nod then hands Sandy her fishing rod, "Here, you dropped this when you were pushed." Sandy takes the fishing rod from him and nods, "Do you know who shoved me?" A sigh would escape out of Elaith's mouth, "Mutiano guards. They practically run the place along with their leader. They don't really care who you are." Sandy looks taken aback by this, "I'm in Mutiano?" Elaith would give her a simple nod and help her up, "I actually came here for some business before I saw you get shoved into the water." Sandy nods gently, "Thank you again for saving me by the way. What business are you on by the way?"

A voice cuts their conversation short as an old man steps closer to them, "Elaith, we have business." Behind the man, there are two guards on either side, who snicker when they see Sandy. Sandy looks at the three in front of her and Elaith, Elaith speaks up, "Oudin, Hello." The older man in the middle would give a nod before he snaps his fingers. The guards on either side of him grab Elaith by his arms and pin him to a nearby wall. Sandy's eyes widen and she goes to step in before Oudin places his long sword in front of Sandy stopping her in her tracks. She gets frustrated and yells, "What are you doing?! Leave him alone!" She would reach for her dagger but is stopped when Elaith raises his palm slightly telling her to 'stand down'. She stops reaching for the dagger and stands up straight with a sword blocking her way. Oudin would finally speak up, "So Elaith I have called you here because the leader of your city is setting a bad example to everyone surrounding Konora." Elaith just nods but stops when a short sword is brought to his neck by one of the guards, "Yes I know." Oudin would narrow his eyes at the pinned man in front of him, "So you understand that it would be a shame if something were to happen to him?" Elaith just looks at the much older man in front of him, "Yes I understand fully." Oudin just smiles and snaps his fingers once more. The two guards holding Elaith to the wall let him go, as he is let go, Elaith falls to his knees. Oudin lets his sword that is in front of Sandy fall back down to his side. Sandy rushes over to the man who saved her just moments ago and helps him back up.

Oudin watches the two for a moment before turning around and walking away from the two. Sandy just glares at where the older man once stood, "Who even was that?!" Elaith would sigh and stand up, "That was Oudin Umphrey. The King of Mutiano." Sandy's eyes widen and looks at him in shock, "You mean THE Oudin that slaughtered all of the pixies?!" Elaith looks at her surprised that she knows about that as it happened a very long time ago, "Yes, but how did you know about that?..." Sandy gives him a straight forward answer, "My dad told me about it when I had a run-in with Raziel." Elaith shoots a look of concern towards Sandy, "And you lived?!" Sandy gives him a confused look back at him, "Is that so hard to believe?..." Elaith just nods his head with a flabbergasted look on his face, "Yes if you are still alive that means something is behind it" Sandy slightly glances at her sleeved right arm for a split second. It is more than enough to give Elaith a reason to grab her right up and yank her sleeve up revealing that from her elbow to her shoulder is entirely purple. His eyes widen at the sight and looks back at Sandy before he speaks, "What is this? How did you get this?!" Sandy yanks her arm away from him and pulls the sleeve back down, "I don't know it just showed up when I scrapped my knee." Elaith narrows his eyes at her as if asking her for more details. Sandy sighs before she speaks, "I scrapped my knee when Raziel opened up a crack in the earth. I lost my footing." Elaith just looks at her, "Sandy that's not normal. I don't know what it is, but you should get it checked out." "I know", Sandy responds back to him.
