Again, I want to thank all of you who read this, and put some reviews. I really appreciate it. Thank you all. And now I bring you Chapter 4: Going(At last!)


Someone's POV

Somewhere in the Earth
Sigh. Great. Another assignment. What is she thinking of me? A puppet? If I only don't have a debt on her I would instigate a rebellion. And yet I can't. She's in control of me. I can't do anything. I'm hopeless. Somebody save me from this witch. I don't wanna do this anymore. I want to be free. Alright, there's nothing I can do now. I'm on the throne room.
"So .. I assume you can handle this assignment, dear?" A wicked woman's voice asked. I am sure of it I am the only one who can see her face. Though she's evil, she looks beautiful. She looks innocent. I know because she said it to me personally.

"Yes, madam. I can. I shall fulfill my duties as fast as I can." I can only accept the mission.

"Very well. I must say you're getting better every time, Lass"

"Thank you." It's all I can say. Without any further ado, I left for my quest.


Ronan's POV

"Roooonnaaann ..." A voice called out my name. I woke up and found myself in a dark place. I can only see myself. I don't know who it is so I called out. "Who's there?"

"Don't you remember me, Ronan? I am very disappointed"

"Who the heck are you? Show yourself!" I am getting annoyed by this hide-and-seek game.

"You don't know? Search your heart, boy!" the voice yelled. It was a woman's voice.

I tried my best to remember the voice. She seem familiar but I just can't put it exactly who she is. Elesis? Nope, she has a boyish voice and she always shouts. This one seems cold. Lire? Far off. Also not Arme. She has a sweet voice. Maybe Ryan? Errr .. Too far. I scratched my head in annoyance.

"I can't remember, so please tell it up NOW"

"It is me, Kaze'aze! Your master!"

The answer kept ringing in my ears. Kaze'aze. That evil witch again! I stood up and searched the whole place. Darkness. I keep looking everywhere and got annoyed already. "Show yourself!"

"I am here, Guard master."

A light source came down from above, and instantly, the spotlight turned to the witch. She was not alone. And I know from the start who they are.

"What do you want to do with them, you devil?" I saw my teammates standing beside her. They all look weak and beat. I want to run to them yet I can't move from the place I'm standing.

"What I want with them? I want them killed, Ronan, and you are fitting for the job." She smiled. I know a warrior of hers who can also see through her invisible face.

"No, never, I won't do it." I reckoned.

"Then I shall gladly execute them with my own hands!" She laughed insanely and raised her staff. A dark aura surrounded her as she casted a spell. "Say goodbye to them, Guard master! Haunting shock!"

I knew that spell. I saw it once I was with her when I was possessed. I knew what it meant. Trouble. A dark sword began to form in the sky and began to strike Lire, Ryan and Arme. I can't bear watch what happened to them. I covered my eyes so I cannot see.

"Say, Ronan, does she mean anything to you?" I looked up. She held Elesis by her collar.

"Bring her down!" I commanded.

"Well, not answering means death, so goodbye to her!" A sword formed up and hastily sped up to kill Elesis.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


"Hey, Ronan, WAKE UP!" A familiar voice said from somewhere. Instantly the apparition vanished. I hugged the unlucky one near me. And I was the unlucky one. It was Ryan. He look dumbstruck.

"Oh, sorry man!" I broke fast and stood up, dusting myself.

Everybody laughed. "You're a tree hugger now, Ronan?" Lire mocked.

"I just had a nightmare guys, so please back off." I looked at them seriously.

"Ooohhh is that so?" an annoying woman's voice spoke. I knew who it is.

"What's so funny, Elesis?" I was annoyed.

"Nothing! I just thought it funny for you to scream like a woman!" Everybody laughed.

I was more annoyed then.

"Alright, alright, I'll fix myself and we're ready to go."

"Okay! Then we take forgotten city right? Just as planned." the knight smiled annoyingly.

"That was YOUR plan ONLY!"

"That's enough guys, let's ready up." Arme saved me from total annihilation of temper. She turned to me. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes, I think so."

"Don't worry, we're gonna beat her ass up" she assured.

"Thanks .. " I nudged her to go when I finished.

We left our camp and headed to forgotten city just as "WE" planned. It was surprising but I found myself with Elesis at the front, Ryan and Lire were at the back, enjoying themselves. Arme was with us. There was silence until the mage broke it. Again.

"So .. Ronan," she started "how do you find .. you know .. us, your team?"

I thought about it for awhile and continued walking until I answered. "I think everyone's great. I have no problems with you, " then I turned to Elesis "well maybe except for her." I pointed out the knight as she stared at me angrily. I covered my mouth to hide the laugh but I can't help it. Oh Xenia Gods, here we go again..

"What the heck do you want?" She held me in the collar.

"Urk! P-put me down!" I gasped for air and she let me down. "I-I'm sorry for that rash behavior, miss Elesis." I apologized as early as I could to prevent further bloodshed.

"Shut up, idiot .." she averted her stare from me and looked dead ahead.

"So, like what I was saying, what can you say about us?" the mage butted in again.

"Hmm .. Okay" I started to define them. "Miss Lire looks good, mature, and loves Ryan very much." I said as I turned to Lire. She smiled at me and I continued my speech.

"Ryan" I continued, "is a good friend, a good lover, and he loves hugging trees!" I grinned at the druid.

"Hey!" Ryan protested.

As to defend Ryan, Lire said "You're one to talk, Ronan! You just hugged the tree!" Everyone burst into laughters.

"What about me?" Arme asked. She was staring at me like she's gonna kill me if I said .word.

"Errr.. I think .. yo-you're cute! And smart too!" I didn't know what to say. If I told her she was short, childish, and sucks at making potions, oh and don't forget she fails at cooking too, I was sure I'm going to meet my maker.

"Really?" She doubted. Who wouldn't? Lying is never my forte.

"Uhh .. Yeah!"

"Thank you Ronan!" She gladly hugged me "You're the only one who didn't tease me, unlike SOMEONE I know!" she stared at Elesis and the knight looked back. I can see the spark in their eyes, and I know what will happen. WAR!

"Stop it guys!" I went between them, and thank goodness, they broke." We continued walking. I can see the ruins of the forgotten city as we walked nearer the city gates. I noticed Elesis looking down.

"Is there any problem, miss Elesis?" I asked.

"Uhh .. none" She didn't look up. We were now in the city. We all looked in awe as the beautiful stone columns greeted us a welcoming entrance.

We were disturbed by some kind of entity that blocked our way. "INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT!"

An octagon-like monster blocked our way and more and more monsters like that came. Stone columns became golems and the remaining trees became trolls. A huge octagon paradom led them.

"Looks like we've got a welcoming party!" I grinned. I clutched the handle of my spell sword.

"Okay, To arms team! Let's warm up!" Elesis yelled the battle cry. I am glad as I looked at her. She's back to her old self.

Everyone readied themselves as the horde began to attack.


Finally, a battle is at hand. Will they survive? Find out at the next chapter!
