    "Indeed I am." He replies then a horn blower being blown at the North of Shangri La.

   "Not again." Xuan look frustrated," The Nian have returned."

   "Let us handle it." Nereus said after think for a moment he finally agrees.

    "Salacia, What's going on?"

    "Something's happening with Eleonora." She said. Liana call David and the three of them head to the healer room and saw Eleonora laying unconscious.

"What happens to her?" Liana look at Xuan who were checking Eleonora," She seems to survive a great battle, her magic were drained but she will be alright once her magic return to her." Xuan answer.
