Chapter 1: Thank You, Anju!
A week has passed by since the Carnival of Time. Clock Town has returned to its self as usual: carpenters working, mailman delivering, shops operating, and the citizens on their business as usual.
"Thank you, Anju!" Cremia says.
"No problem, Cremia! If you need me to take care of Romani anytime, just say so."
"Please sis. Romani wants to come along too," Romani whines.
"It's only going to be a few days. Besides, you're safer here with Anju and Kafei," Cremia replies.
"I'm sure the guards will be able to find out who this man is. After all, they rarely have anything to do now days. Kafei's father will be happy to send out his finest guards to help you," Anju says.
"Thank you, Anju! I must be on my way."
Cremia exits East Clock Town with a captain guard and four guards.
They leave the gate and follow her as she leads them to Romani Ranch. The captain guard starts a conversation.
"How have you been?" he asks her.
"I feel much better now that Romani is safe with Anju and Kafei. But I still have that problem at the ranch."
"How long has he been there?" the captain guard asks.
"It's been three days now. I don't feel safe at all. At 10 PM, someone would start pounding the doors. When I went to look through the peephole, I saw a mysterious man. I think it's only a matter of times before he gets me."
"If anyone wanted to meet you, the would have come in the daytime. Since he's only coming at night, he is a bad person. Don't worry! We'll take care of this tonight!" the Captain guards say firmly.
They arrive at the ranch and it is now 6 PM. Cremia cooks dinner for herself and the five men. They finish eating by 6:30 PM. Now they wait for the mysterious man.
The time is now 8 PM and Cremia has gone off to bed. The guards wait two more hours. Now it is finally 10 PM.
From the forest across Romani Ranch, a man looks at the ranch. His silver hairs glows with the moon and his blue eyes sparkle in the night. Along his back, he carries a helix sword.
"So you decided to make it more interesting, huh?" the man talks to himself.
He moves out of the forest and into the clearing. He walks toward Romani Ranch.
"No matter who you have, they will not be able to stop me from you," he says and puts on the Fierce Deity mask.
He walks up to the door of Cremia's home and then starts pounding.
Thomp! Thomp! Thomp! Thomp!
"You guys hear that?!" the captain guard asks.
Every guards nod their head, giving a "yes, we do sir."
"What do we do, sir?" one of the guards asks.
The captain guard speaks and lets himself and his soldiers decide what to do.
"Do we let him in and then ambush him? Or do we just stay in here until he goes away?"
Each man starts thinking quickly. In a brief moment, they all voted to stay in. The pounding continues. Thomp! Thomp! Then it suddenly dies off...
One of the guards go to check at the door. There's no one there, and the captain guard thinks to himself.
"What the FUCKING HELL! We're the elite guards of Mayor Dotour! We're suppose to be able to confront any threats to the Mayor and the citizens. We can't just stay in here like cowards!"
Cremia has woken up. She rushes down the stairs to see the guards preparing themselves for action.
"What's going on, Cremia" asks.
"We're going to deal with this man once and for all. We will all go out. Once we're all out, lock the door until we get back!" the captain guards responds.
The captain guard orders his men to open the door so they can attack the intruder. On command, the soldier opens the door. All of them rushes out the door except for Cremia. She quickly closes the door and locks it.
"I hope they will all be alright," she whispers to herself.
Outside of the ranch, they can see two men wearing Garo masks while riding on horses toward them. As the two men come closer, they see the guards. Then the two horsemen turn back. The guards follow them and take off at high speed in pursuit of the horsemen. The horsemen leave Romani Ranch with the guards following them closely behind.
On Milk Road, the two horsemen make a sharp turn right onto Gorman Brother's Track. The soldiers continue to chase them down. Moving a quarter way on the Gorman Brother's Track, the soldiers stop. They're too exhausted from chasing the horsemen, and the horsemen got away.
"Wait a minute!" the captian guard says out loud.
"What if the two horsemen were a diversion!"
The men realize their mistake. They have left Cremia behind without any protection.
"OH SHIT! WE MUST GET BACK TO THE RANCH!"
The captain guard and his four soldiers take off running back to the ranch.
Inside Cremia's home, something slides down the chimney.
"AHHHH! WHO"S THERE?"
Thump! A man drops down the chimney. Cremia runs upstairs and the man chases her. He grabs her by the hand and pulls her towards him into a grip. Cremia fights her way to get out of his grip. He pulls out his helix sword and hits her head with the hilt.
Thud! Cremia is knocked unconscious. He puts his helix sword on his back, and puts the unconscious Cremia on his left shoulder as he prepares to carry her out. The man opens the door and walks toward the forest where he originally came from.
The guards arrive at the entrance of Romani Ranch. They rush quickly to Cremia's home and finds that the door has been opened. All of them look around.
"There!" one of the guards shouts and points at.
A man wearing the Fierce Deity Mask can be seen carrying Cremia into the forest.
All of them rush forward but stumbles onto the ground, too exhausted. The man disappears into the forest as he carry Cremia.
