Journeys end

A week after the event's of Akiko's death. Emily was kidnapped, once again. Ayame successfully achieving her goal of acquiring the gem, that once belonged to rina.

Jasper -now under the imprisonment of Ayame, as well- lost his home to her raid.

Katsumi, Natalie and eric now in hiding elsewhere along the ridge, have gathered material to get their friends back, and now plan on taking down Ayame's portal.

Whilst Ryuu and sumi meet with a familiar face

At a castle far off the grid, Ryuu and sumi are visiting sumi, as she went into hiding there

Ryuu and sumi are escorted in by a couple guards. "Ryuu, Sumi!!" rina said happily, as she ran over to them, Hugging both of them

"Rina! Are things going alright? " sumi asked her "Yes, Yes! Our plan to vote new leads helped. A new king has been elected, and you're looking at your queen! " rina said to them

"That's great news!" Ryuu said to her, as they walked along the halls "Yeah, and thanks to you. We no longer have the law of requirements for marriage before becoming a queen, or king." rina told ryuu "Well, it's the least i could do" Ryuu told her

"I thought you were already a queen?" sumi asked "Well, demon queen, yes. But queen of nexus. No" rina told sumi

"Oh, i also must deeply apologize for our team split, i wish i could've gotten you all a cabin here in the village. " rina said to Ryuu

"Don't worry, what's important is that what we planned on when we split up worked. I'll inform the others as soon as possible " Ryuu said to rina

"Don't worry. Your part is soon, i must inform you." Rina said to ryuu.

"Yeah, i know my part. I just hope that eric, jasper and Emily are alright. It seems like the adults are easier for her to catch, and imprison than us" Ryuu said to rina

"Probably cause they're older. Anyway, i have work to be done. I'll meet up with you all later " rina said to Ryuu as him and sumi walked away

"Ryuu... Do you think Ayame is hiding something? She only seems interested in the adults. Akiko was for luring you in, but the others are for something more" sumi asked Ryuu

"Possibly. Eric and Emily have a lot of history here. Supposedly like mom. Add Jasper into the mix, and there is something she's looking for" Ryuu told sumi

"do you think there is something they know, she doesn't? " sumi asked

"It's more than likely " Ryuu said

Construction on the portal had finished up as Ayame was holding jasper, eric and emily hostage, she walked into the prison block to ask them questions

Jasper opened his left eye, as his right eye had been sliced by a knife.

"Wake up. I have questions for you" Ayame said to Jasper as she lifted him from his collar "there's something you know, that i want" Ayame said to Jasper

"I know all about your secrets. You're a warlord cause your father, connor. You want revenge on the kunami name, for killing your family. You want to open multiple portals so you can take each high order landmark out, one by one. You want to become the world's leader" Jasper said to Ayame, trying to break her down

Ayame threw Jasper down on the ground, not phased by his attempt

"The the cave of crystals end. Where is it?" Ayame asked
