Lu ten stands next to Rai as they prepare to depart for beacon academy. I've spoken to the headmaster there James is telling Lu ten. "You'll become an instructor and Rai will be able to receive some training and academic classes through the school." Lu Ten bows and Rai follows his example. Thank you again he says and then he guides Rai onto the air ship. Rai leans on her farther as she watches the clouds go by. He pulls out a book and hand it to her and she begins to read. She hears a sharp whistling and suddenly the airship begins to descend rapidly.

She grabs onto her farther and pulls the moisture from the air "Rai! Rai I love you" He cries as a bubble of water surrounds them "farther i" she's cut off as the bubble bursts and she's flung through the air and hits a tree she stays still her eyes wide open not breathing slowing her heart as she sees people passing by. She sees one of them the man she remembers dr Watts go over to her farther. He pulls out a gun and shoots him in the leg. Lu ten's eyes open as he's pulled to his feet. "Where is the winter maiden?" Lu ten spits in the man's face. "I'll tell you nothing" he says. "Very well." Rai watches as he shoots him in the head he drops him to the ground and she hears his footsteps come closer to her. He kicks her in the side. Then he reaches down and touches her neck he grins. He turns to the one that's with him. "Dead." He says. "Don't you want to make sure?" Rai hears a gunshot and a moment later feels a searing pain in her arm." She doesn't even feel herself flinch. The man smirks and he pulls Rai up forcibly "you're good" he whispers. He grips her arm and begins to drag her towards the ship. Rai's eyes widen and she struggles until she's knocked out which a large syringe.
