Day phased into night as the sun started to set, it made way for the night sky to make its appearance. The stars and moon broke free of the darkness in order to have provided what little light which was needed to light the paths for weary travelers.

The warmth was shut out by the harshness of the autumn night. The temperature was below normal. Strong gusts of wind blew sharp which added to the unforgiving cold. One could almost swear it felt like winter.

Kaye winced from the strong winds cutting across her face and hands like shards of glass. She was doing the best she could not to think of the cold temperature which caused her to shiver. Kaye gazed up towards the moon and stars, she remembered Kento being pinned under the rubble and hoped he somehow got in contact with Sage and the others so he would be healed. She had always been impressed with how close the guys were with one another, it was almost like they were able to read each others minds. Kaye's thoughts were broken as she felt some type of warmth nearby. She looked towards the shrine and saw Cale as he fed the fire in a huge fire pit.

Cale glanced up towards Kaye for a moment and then turned his attention back to the fire. "What do you see in Rei Faun in order for you to feel the way you do towards him?"

Kaye was surprised by Cale's question. She never expected him to ask something like this. "Why do you want to know?"

Cale continued to watch the fire, "You must as well humor me, because you're going to be here for a while. Do I need to repeat the question?"

"Before I even met Kento and the others, I had been on my own, traveling from place to place. I had no reason to stay in one area for too long, until I met them. Kento, was the first one to have me feel like there was no need for me to be alone. He stayed with me when I needed to lean on someone. His strength, courage, loyalty to his friends, and his love for those he cares for, those are the things which have me love him. Sure, we have our differences, but when everything is said and done, in the end I still love him."

"Even now when you know your so called beloved one has been trained to be an assassin? That is what the main purpose of this clan was back then, to be trained as professional killers."

Kaye paled when she heard Cale started to tell her.

Cale glanced up and smirked when he saw her shocked expression. "It's true. But by what I can see he never told you that part either."

Kaye narrowed her eyes at him, "You lie!"

"I have no reason to lie my dear. The clan was once feared for its reputation. Rei Faun was nearing his completion in his training to become a full fledged assassin. But one night he had a strange dream. He was approached by the Ancient One. He told him the path he was taking was not his true path. The Ancient told Rei Faun his heart was to embrace the virtue of justice and to change the ways of this clan. Rei Faun did everything in his power to persuade the elders that what we all were doing was wrong and we needed to change, otherwise we would destroy ourselves in the end. Who knew Rei Faun was right in what he was trying to tell them. That is when Lynn and Wang turned to the dark priest, in order to stop him from destroying the clan."

"Wait, why did you mention Wang? I thought it was only Lynn who turned to the dark magic."

Cale chuckled, "It looks like I slipped up a bit. Yes, Wang also turned to the dark magic as well. He struck a bargain with the dark priest in order to heal so he would be that much harder to kill when it was time for him and Rei Faun to fight. You see girl, Wang has been working by my side all this time. There was no real deal for Wang to offer him in redemption. It was all a lie. He never meant to forgive the hardhead for what he did to his sister. All Wang wants is revenge just like me. He will get his revenge when he forfeits your life right in front of Rei Faun's eyes."

'Not if I can warn Kento first.' Kaye thought to herself.

Cale reached into his belt and pulled out a small bag. He walked in front of Kaye and smirked as he reached into the bag and pulled his hand out. "I don't think it's a good idea for you to try and warn him. It won't do any good anyway, he'd still come no matter what, but I think I'll make sure you won't be able to dream walk in order to get to him." The ex-Warlord opened his hand and blew a magical dust into Kaye's face.

Kaye felt the darkness of the magic surround her as she went under, her dream walking ability was blocked, but only for a few nights just in time for Kento and Wang to arrive.

Cale laughed as he walked away from Kaye's unconscious form and into the shrine where he would wait for their arrival.
