                Aliana was so mad about the man with white hair and the other one, that she shredded the remaining of the pages and set them free to the winds. But.... She somehow couldn't stay mad.... She was stunned by the man with white hair, he was mysterious, beautiful in his ways as she was describing.... As she blushed she remembered the guy that almost got killed in the entrance of the College and went down to help Cornelius and see how the man was doing. Cornelius made enough to help and he was now ok. But from afar, another third man was watching as well, angry because of the book.... He vanished. 

               When the man got to see a Healer, Cornelius and Aliana sat down and exchanged information on what happened when they were both attending their situations. In that moment, Aliana and Cornelius saw each other to the eyes, having the same thought:

- "What if.... We continue this quest?" Aliana started saying and Cornelius nodded confirming that's what he was thinking exactly...

               Cornelius stood up, went to the High Miigi (Manager of the College) and spoke to him about his plans... Because Demon Hunters and Priests were always enemies, most of the time, the Miigi felt disgusted by a Prisir that had the idea of helping a Demon Hunter and told Cornelius that he's now suspended as a Priest, ending his route to learn the ways of the gods and the magiks.... When he told Aliana, she felt somehow guilty of it, as if it was her fault... Cornelius hugged her and said that it was alright, that he will go anyways now that he isn't a priest. They were leaving the College now, at the door there was a man with a book on his hand, and it was the apprentice of the man Cornelius helped survive when the place was attacked. He made Aliana and Cornelius stop to give the book to them, it was a book of magiks, the one they give you to learn the different spells over time, and it was worth a fortune.

                 Cornelius couldn't have it he said, but the apprentice insisted it was a gift of gratitude, even though the apprentice and his master didn't know Cornelius was suspended of the Priest's Ways. Nonetheless, the apprentice insisted and told them both that he will find a way to convince his master about taking the book even if he isn't now a mage or a Priest. And so they thanked the man, and he went off to see his master, and they both went to the Inn of Esmül, it was called: "The Flying Lizard Inn".... This one's name was rather weirder, it was named like this for a pet lizard of the owner when he was a child, which fell off the window and died.... Hence the name. When they slept, early in the morning, they felt that they were now ready to continue their quest; to identify the shadowy men....
