It was the middle of summer; the guys were outside relaxing while Mia was in the house making lunch. Kento was taking a nap on top of a hill near by, while the others talked amongst themselves.
"Hey Ryo, do you think that the Dynasty is gone for good this time?" Cye asked.
"Maybe, but we should keep an eye out for strange activity incase they do come back." Ryo replied.
"Lunch is ready!" Mia shouted.
Kento woke up in an instant and ran toward the house. The others were left still sitting there, when Kento said, "Are you coming?"
As they started toward the house Ryo felt an uneasy painful feeling going through his body.
"Is something wrong, Ryo?" Rowen asked with a worried tone in his voice.
"No." Ryo said and both Rowan and he brushed it off and went inside.
Lurking near by was a tall man with blond hair and was very physically strong. He stood there in a tree watching them, studying their movements.
Inside they were sitting at the table watching Kento scarf down the food.
"Hey Kento will you slow down and leave some for the rest of us." Cye shouted aloud.
When they got finished Ryo, Rowan and Sage went up stairs to read. Cye and Kento decided to make a trip into town for some shopping. Mia was in the kitchen cleaning up after lunch; clearing the table and washing dishes.
Ryo was inside reading a mystery novel when the same uneasy feeling flooded his body, but this time, the pain was even greater than before. The pain grew intensely stronger. His body tensed up, making it feel like the muscles were tearing away from the bone. The pain was so agonizingly strong that Ryo fell off his bed hitting the floor with a hard thud.
Rowan was very alarmed by this and went to go check on Ryo to see if anything was wrong. He found Ryo on the floor unconscious.
"Sage, get in here quick!"
Sage walked in seeing Rowan trying to wake up Ryo from his unconscious state.
A voice went off in Ryo's head, "Ryo of the Wildfire, you will not escape my wrath for killing Emperor Talpa."
Minutes later the pain stopped and Ryo came to, to see Rowan and Sage looking at him with a worried and questioning look.
"What happen?" Sage and Rowan asked in harmony.
