Juluis ran as fast as he could though his breath was shortening and he could feel his heartbeat through his ears which hushed the background of the live "search mission" for his wife that blared through the air. Everyone in Mystika was hunting his wife down like a duck in hunting season with a cash reward hung over her head.

"I stand by her," his voice broke, knowing the consequence. She began screaming louder and louder, he grabbed her hand and her eyes rolled behind her head "Seeker!" he screamed
