Moments later...
Aphmau walked twords the plaza she got closer soon she was able to see garroth standing looking for her dante and logan stood behind him talking to each other... aphmau paused as she walked towards them she slowly raised her hand to her lips and softly touched them reminding her self of laurence... she looked back up at garroth she looked at him for a moment... she shook her head and began to walk to them once again
Garroth: Aphmau!... are you okay?
Aphmau: im fine... did you find anything?

Dante throws one of his swords to him
Dante: do you know how to use one?
Logan: of course

Before they could move one step a shadow ran through the trees so fast they couldn't see it, the shadow jumped off the trees behind some bushes it slowly moved to the light, everyone raised there swords prepared for anything, he wore a black hoody it covered the top part of his face but his mouth was visible he said nothing and cared a big sword but didn't raise it he wore torn pants and black gloves, aphmau with a stern voice said
Aphmau: who are you?
