I followed the hoof prints for what seemed like hours.

And thanks to my wonderful sense of direction, I found myself off course and headed towards...

Oh crap! Was that...? Oh god, no...

Pikoro Village?!?

And were those...?

DEAR GOD WHY?!?!?

O'KHASIS GUARDS?!?!

I hate everything.

Two Reasons Why This Was a Bad Situation-

1. I have bad blood with Pikoro Village, you know, magicks user, anti-magicks village, execution... You get the picture.

2. O'Khasis has probably sent out a manhunt for my head.

Again, I hate everything.

Okay, Amethyst, deep breath, all you need to do is blend in with your surroundings...

I spotted an O'Khasis guard and got an idea...

I snuck behind the O'Khasis guard and took him out, "borrowed" his armor, walking past the gates to the village as casually as I possibly could.

"Hey! Hey you!"

Oh crap. One of the O'Khasis craps noticed me.

I mustered my best guy voice.

"Uh, yes sir?"

"Did Jeffory put you out on patrol?"

Wait, Jeffory was here? Well I guess it has been a few weeks since I ditched O'Khasis.

"Uh, yes sir, Jeffory ordered me to patrol the outskirts of the village!"

I sound ridiculous. This better freakin work...

"Alright then, proceed."

That actually worked? These guards are idiots. Whatever, now I can get back to finding Dante.

I slipped away into the woods and followed a path leading away from the village, I had no clue if I was even heading the right way anymore.

About a half an hour had passed and still nothing.

Until...

OW! What the hell was that?

I walked towards a clearing in the woods, but when I got to a certain point, I just couldn't walk any further. It was like something was blocking my way, like... a magicks barrier and cloak!

Wait, this isn't magicks, its, witchcraft... Hm... I wonder...

I have fire magicks, and I remember reading something about using fire magicks to burn through barriers, I mean it could just be a tall tale, but I wonder if I could...

I focused my energy on breaching the barrier, my hand heated up, I even began to sweat a little bit but, sure enough, I was able to walk through the barrier!

The barrier closed behind me. And I came face to face with a HUGE house. And I mean HUGE.

I took off my helmet and stared in awe.

Am! Come on, now's not the time to be thinking about architectural design! You have other priorities right now.

"WHO. SENT. YOU."

Dammit.

I spun around and came face to face with a guard in an O'Khasis Knight-in-Training Uniform, holding a diamond sword to my neck.

Again, dammit.

"I am here on my own accord. And if I was you, I would lower that sword."

Another guard with light brown hair and pale blue eyes raised his sword, "Is that a threat?"

"Garroth?! Laurence?! What's going on?" Asked a female voice. I wanted to see who it was, but I knew better than to let my guard down, again.

Wait, Garroth of O'Khasis and Laurence of Meteli?

Once more, dammit.

I knew that Garroth had run away from O'Khasis but... Crap! He probably thinks I'm here with O'Khasis.

I answered for them, "I was looking for someone important, when I came across this witchcraft barrier. I let myself in, and Garroth here, put his sword to my neck. I'm not looking for a fight unless you hurt the person that I'm looking for."

"You're wearing O'Khasis armor. How do we know that you aren't working for Zane?"

Zane.

Hearing his name left a putrid taste in my mouth.

"I can assure you that I am not working for that piece of crap, in fact I-"

"What's going on here?"

That voice, no... It couldn't be...

"Took you long enough Dante." Laurence muttered.

Dante...

My god.

My brother.

My sweet little brother.

H-he's here...

I've found him...

I turned around. At this point I didn't care if Garroth stabbed me.

At long last, I came face to face with the ocean blue eyes that I had longed to see again.

"D-Dante..." My voice shook.

My eyes were blinded with tears. My knees were giving way.

"LAURENCE NO!" Dante yelled.

I felt immense pain in my back.

The world went black.
