Intelligence Report

            Report: ‘The Actions of the Gemon’

            Reporter: Zushi Akashi

            It has been confirmed that the Gemon of Immolation that attacked the Cardinal in Pront was in possession of the Wind Gem. It is believed that this is the same Gemon that attacked the Sorin Knights and took away the Wind Gem. According to eyewitness reports, two large monsters accompanied the Gemon when she appeared. We speculate that these monsters are under the Gemon of Immolation’s control. In summation, we believe that the Gemon has the Wind Gem, controls monsters, and acts belligerently. Since she is extremely dangerous, I advise taking string precautions. We have numerous eyewitnesses claiming to have seen many suspicious characters on Western Glab other than the Gemon of Immolation, but she was the most prominent one. There are instances of other types of magic besides fire spells, so we suspect that there is a possibility that there is more than one Gemon. I will continue my reconnaissance. End of report.

“Ohhh…” said the Sorin soldier in pain.

            “Hey, hang in there!” said another soldier. “Where’s the doctor? I need a doctor over here, fast!”

            “This is horrible…  It’s like a field hospital.” Keith can’t move but to watched the injured soldiers. He fell regrettable.

            “The damage here is worse than the damage in Pront…” Mina moved towards Keith, leaning her head to his back, preventing to look to the knights.

            “I’m going to lend my assistance.” Ruri took off her garment and a coif.

            “I never knew that the Gemons were capable of this kind of damage.” Ahru stood up from the bench. He walks towards to Alec standing in front of the window. “Sir Alec, what do you think?”

            Alec turns to Ahru looking not light hearted. “This looks like it was done by that Gemon of Immolation. The Sorin Knights were doing experiments at the plains to the southwest.” He explained while closing the window.

            “Experiments?”

            “An experiment to determine how powerful the Wind Gem is, specifically.”

            “Why would they do that? Aren’t Gem very dangerous?”

            “Right now, the Church is researching a countermeasure against the Gemons.” He closed his eyes. “The Gem experiments were tied to the countermeasure research.”

            “So they were trying to use the power of the Gem against the Gemons…” Kieth joined on the side while getting his muffler.

            “However, it looks like the Gemon of Immolation appeared during the experiment, destroyed the Sorin Knights with an enormous flash, then stole the Gem.

            “Those Gemons… How could they do this!?” Ahru’s eyes on the ground.

            “The Gem are deadly. We must gather them quickly, so they can be purified.” said the Arc Knight, and he began to walk.

            “Hey, Ahru. Let’s help out there like Ruri is.” Mina called to them. “We can’t heal people, but there must be something we can help with.”
