  The four had no other such meetings with this "Servant of Kianite", other than a few TNT traps and stolen items. Right after their fateful meeting with the Servant, they consulted the priest about this "Kianite". All the priest said was "He is a force to be reckoned with. I recommend no further bloodshed except when the Gods wish it." That didn't tell them anything more than they already knew.
But, things were looking up soon. A few days after those events, a few pirates came, saying they were sent by their Lady Ianite. After a bit of senseless conversation with the pirates, and the gift of gold given to them by the four heroes, the pirates moved to a path near Jordan's house, and something breathtaking happened. When they had all gathered around the pirates, they heard a voice. It was a beautiful, soft voice, yet it sounded tired and weak. "Hello my pirates."
At first, when they looked around, they saw no source of the voice. Even the pirates couldn't have mimicked the voice. But, after a few seconds, a gorgeous, beautiful woman appeared, with long, flowing purple hair and slightly revealing purple clothing. Her pupils were a faint, pale violet, and her skin was more pale than normal. No sooner than she appeared, she stumbled and was caught by one of her pirates before she fell. "Easy there milady. Ye still be weak." She nodded in agreement and looked up at Jordan. "My apologies for showing myself in such a sorry state."
Just then, a voice echoed through the air. It was familiar, and the four heroes instantly recognized it. "Weak you say? How intriguing~!" The voice was soon given form as the Servant of Kianite appeared on the other side of the path. The four heroes quickly took up arms, as did the pirates. "Stay back from our lady." The pirates warned. "Oh please, like some drunkards can harm me." They growled at the insult and stepped forwards. He grinned and spoke some sort of spell. "Hold on, holy ghost. Go on, hold me close. Better run, here we come, it's the day of the dead." As he finished the lyric, his eyes glowed red and he raised his hands, and out of nowhere, about a dozen skeletons with swords and bows rose up, and charged the heroes and pirates.
Just then, all the skeletons screeched and clung at the heroes and pirates, constricting their limbs and holding them in place. The Servant of Kianite grinned and walked towards the weakened Ianite on her knees. Ianite glared up at the man as he walked up to her and crouched in front of her. "I know I can't kill you. But I can talk to you." He said as she grit her teeth. "I don't need to talk to some lowly servant." The man laughed. "Firstly, I am no servant. I am the general of Kianite's army. Secondly, Kianite is coming soon, so you three had best prepare your heroes. And lastly, call me by my name, Ryan." The heroes were surprised he had such a normal name.
He grinned and then stood up and snapped his fingers. When he did, all the skeletons collapsed into piles of bones and dust. He turned to look at the pirates and heroes and said "I have but one request. Sonja, I wish to meet up and talk, privately, no weapons or armor. If you don't arrive at the location on this piece of paper at noon in five weeks, I will kill you all." He tossed Sonja a piece of paper and snapped his fingers, disappearing.
