The Duo questions the villagers within the bar... But answers weren't given... Their only choice is possible tracks or hints throughout the village... But first... A proper rest is required.

-Crow Father.

(y/n): Hmmph... Even more un-welcoming eyes.

Evangelyne: Lets not get into any fights. We're just looking for answers or clues.

(y/n): Sounds fine by me.

You replied and followed Eva behind, you and Evangelyne walked inside the village's bar as customers of all races had their eyes on the two of you. You obviously ignored them as Eva walled towards the owner of the bar, holding a small glass with a nervous look on his face as he began.

???: H-Hello... How may I help you two?

Evangelyne: We're here about the disappearance of civilians and supplies.

???: O-Oh... I-I'm afraid I can't help you with that.

Evangelyne: There's no need to be afraid. We're here to help your village.

Evangelyne said so kindly... But the owner refused to cooperate.

???: I'm sorry... I-I can't-

However you interrupted the conversation by slamming your fingers into the table, digging it deep before slowing dragging and making a large gashing the table as you spoke while Evangelyne had widen eyes from your unnecessary actions.

(y/n): Listen old timer, we just want information. Maybe there's someone acting suspicious? Myths? Theories? Any clues or hints?

The owner was shaking and you could hear the door to the bar opening and closing as Eva looks over to see a few people running away in fear as the owner responded.

???: I-I-I'm really sorry sir, none of us know anything or anyone behind this... They just... Leave no traces behind, sir.

You let out a sigh before pulling your fingers out of the table and spoke.

(y/n): Lovely... Then we'll try and figure something ourselves. In the meantime we should find a place to rest.

Evangelyne: Ok.

???: I-If you'd like... You can stay over at the Inn just next door... It's free since nobody is running ir anymore.

You and Evangelyne turn to the owner of the bar before questioning.

Evangelyne: What do you mean?

???: Well, the owner of the Inn called quits a week ago and left the Inn without a word. Nobody wants to stay in the Inn, afraid they'll be the next victim of these disappearance. But I doubt you'll be victims seeing how armed you two are.

(y/n): Really? Well I'll take my chances and be bait for who or whatever it is causing these disappearance.

You and Evangelyne turned your backs and began to head to the Inn as the owner waved his shaky hand.

???: Please be careful...

[Timeskip with (y/n) carrying large boxes of beer as Amalia demanded him to dispose of them... Only to be ignored.]

(y/n): Even this room is empty. Guess the old man wasn't wrong.

After you and Eva made your way into the Inn, it was as empty as the owner of the bar said, not a single soul is seen. You reached your arm around the counter and grabbed a room key as you and Eva walking inside one of them... The room looked decent. There was only one bed unfortunately as you looked at Evangelyne.

(y/n): I'll sleep in the next room.

Evangelyne: I-It's alright... We can share this one...

(y/n): A-Are you sure?

Evangelyne just nods as you looked at the bed with a small blush before sighing, walking towards the bed and placed your sword against the wall before sitting on the bed... Evangelyne sat on the opposite side as there was silence in the air... You then felt Eva's soft and warm hand gently grabbed yours as she began...

Evangelyn: I... I want you I know that... I still love you... And I'm sorry...

(y/n): I... I forgive you my sweet Elf... But our fates have already been written... You have Tristepin.... And I Amalia... There's nothing we can do to change that.

Evangelyne: I... I-I know...

Evangelyne said with tears in her eyes as you looked down with a sad look... And with your fingers intertwines... Everything fades to black as the title "Wakfu" appeared as the title was untouched and silence fills the air.
