"Hello.. we're looking for a tomb. Is there a tomb nearby?"

The merchant looks at the man wearing a brown hood that completely masked his face, while a group of individuals all stood before him, "What's up with the fits? Looking for trouble?"

"Just awnser the question."

The man chuckles, "Tomb? Why no, never heard of one. But there is a grave site in town-"

"Let's leave." They turn around and begin walking away, their capes blowing form the wind as they disappear into the crowd of the bustling city.

"So there's no tomb than?" Oliver says.

"Hey, you not telling us something are you?" Abram says to Able.

"I am. We don't know where it could be. I just know it's here, for a fact." Able says.

They had all managed to come together to the location of the tomb in which they all looked now for the tomb in search of their power to come back, with Futuri being healed back up by the foundation. Now the O5 Council, Oliver, Grey, Able, and Futuri now walk across the sandy lands in search of this tomb, "Too bad my power won't work around here- for some reason. Isn't that strange?" Futuri says.

"It's like a reality anchor almost, all across. Just like it was on our world." Gears says.

"What do you think ever did happen to the crown anyways? Is it gone, destroyed, implanted somewhere for something?" Imani asks.

"I bet it's lost at this point, nobody could find the thing. And it's best that way." Abram says.

"Ah, there's somewhere we can find information." Grey stops them all, pointing towards a large old building that says, 'town hall'.

They walk inside, surprisingly the building was empty. As the front of the building was a single man standing before them, "Ah yes.. our new travelers- what can I do for you?" The man says, his hands wrinkled and old as he turns towards them.

"Is there a tomb nearby?" Grey asks.

The man looks them in the eyes, Grey getting a unnerving feeling as they meet eye to eye, "Stay right there." The old man says, reaching under the desk and huddling to grab a revolver. The man holds up the revolver towards Grey's head as the others all wield their weapons.

"Hey!"

"Well, well, well... After all these years. You come back for more? You and your gang... This time I'm not going to let you kill everyone. I'll kill you right here right now, you shoot me I shoot you sonnavabitch. We both die, the rest of you all walk out and the entire darn city is gonna bathe in your blood."

"More? Sir, we've never been here." Grey says, lowering his gun. The man has his gun kept up and insists.

"I know what kind of men you are. Deceptive... You come from outside of here. No documentation about y'all, you must be his buddies than.."

"Buddies? We have no buddies that are here, that's why we want to know where the tomb is."

"Don't lie to me. You came in here with that ugly mug.. the bastard! He came here, killed everyone in town except me and my wife.. it was so long ago, decades ago. But I'll never forget. The stench.. he came in here with the worst stench ever- like piss and blood and shit all put together for this- this hideous thing. It has terrible skin.. it's face deformed as if it once had another half. It.. it was- it said it's name was Eric. And he went off towards the sunrise."

"Shit... No way he- he could do that.. he's really alive? After what it did to him?" Grey says, utterly surprised and shocked.

"Listen sir, we're not here for trouble. We just want to leave already, can you at least let us leave and we'll never come back again, I promise." Abram pleaded.
