Sorey groaned in his sleep and slowly woke up. His eyes slowly opened and the blurry figures of his friends around him were there. "Hey." Velvet said to the waking boy. Sorey slowly sat up and the blurriness in his vision cleared. He saw Lailah, Mikleo, Alisha, and Velvet looking down at him. "Hey. How are we back at the inn?" Sorey asked, looking around at his surroundings. "We had to carry you back. People kept on asking what happened and we told them that you were still sick and wouldn't wake up." Alisha explained. "Oh." Sorey said. He got out of bed and everyone left the inn. "Where's Magilou?" Sorey asked Velvet. "Who-" "And guess whose back in business!?" Magilou yelled, approaching them and interrupting Velvet. "What happened?" Alisha asked. "Magilou's Menagerie is now the newest performer for the Hyland Council!" Magilou told the girl with a grin. Velvet paled considerably. "Oh no... not that again..."

Magilou smirked at the fearful girl and said "And you my dear will make an excellent Pigeon. Coo coo." Velvet looked at Magilou murderously. "Coo coo?" Lailah questioned. "Don't worry about it." Velvet snapped with a feral growl. Everyone jumped. "Okay then... we need to find a Seraph before putting the water in the Church." Sorey said. "Why not go to Falkwin Hillside? Maybe there is one there?" Mikleo asked. And with that, they made their way to Griflet Bridge. "So Velvet, what was your Journey like?" Mikleo asked. "Well, I started my Journey in a prison called Titania." The human-Seraph said. "Where she met the amazing..." Magilou trailed off, looking proud. Velvet thought for a moment then banged her fist on the palm of her hand. "Rokurou." She then said. "Ack! And..." Magilou said. Velvet gave her an annoyed look. "And an annoying witch named Magilou Mayvin." She said giving Magilou the stink eye. "I'll take what I can get with you..." Magilou sighed out, giving up.

The other three laughed. When they crossed the two hills connecting to Lakehaven Hieghts, a storm all of a sudden began. "Where did this rain come from? It wasn't raining back in Ladylake." Sorey questioned. "The air is thick with Malevolence." Lailah stated sadly. "My hair!" Magilou whined. "Come on, let's head to the bridge." They fought many Hellions along the way, such as tainted Eagles and Marmots. When they reached the bridge, they never expected to find it entirely gone and citizens all hanging around it. "Oh no..." Mikleo said. Alisha saw a guard and said "Be right back." With that, she ran off. "What happened here?" Velvet asked. "Not sure... let's ask around." Sorey said. And with that they started going around and asking citizens. Some said that the river got really dangerous in the storm and swept away the bridge. Others believed that the River Spirit caused the destruction and the storm for the sins of Humanity.

"And this is why I killed the Shepherd. This thinking that Humanity is so full of sins and needed to be cleaned out." Velvet grumbled. Alisha came back and said "Supposedly, the workers can't start on the bridge until the water has calmed considerably." That's when a gigantic water spout erupted from the lake. In a twister of Water and wind was a black snake with a purple spine. "Watch out! It's the Water Spirit!" A teen yelled out. "An Ouroboros!" Lailah yelled. "GIANT SNAKE!" Alisha, Sorey and Mikleo yelled comically.

 "GIANT SNAKE!" Alisha, Sorey and Mikleo yelled comically
