"Ahead! There's a town up front!" Revilis's voice sounded out, interrupting Senkrad's thoughts. Senkrad glanced up and sure enough, a town was situated there ahead of them. In a few moments, the whole group was at the gate of their destination, all ready to enter. A sign at the gate said "Land of the Wolves". Walking forward through the gate casually, Senkrad and the rest were hastily stopped by the soldiers of the town. The soldiers at the gate glanced at a poster in their hands for a few moments, before looking up and scrutinising everyone's faces. Xino felt that something was amiss, and was on high alert, summoning Feather behind her back. She grasped her weapon tightly and kept her eyes on the soldiers. Revilis shifted uncomfortably. Joshua and Dave took short glances at each other, somewhat worried. Senkrad stared coldly at the soldiers of the town, eyes baring through them. The soldiers whispered something into each other's ears, and one of them took off. The remaining soldier continued to eye the group as they entered the town with caution within each step. Xino allowed her katana to disappear as she followed the group into the town, her eyes not leaving the soldier once until he was out of her sight. Xino still had that unnerving feeling in her heart though, and she couldn't figure out why. She shrugged it off.

Evangeline looked at herself in the mirror after Risallez left; she looked unbelievably gorgeous. Her long, black hair was beautifully highlighted by the glittering pins in her hair, and her hair was curled. It was a side of herself that she has never seen. Twirling herself, Evangeline giggled, and shut her mouth almost immediately. She has never giggled before. Shaking the thought off, Evangeline grabbed hold of the hems of her gown, to prevent herself from tripping, and exited the room. Risallez was outside of the room, waiting patiently. Evangeline felt bad about Risallez waiting but brushed the feeling off, giving Risallez a warm smile. Embarassed, Risallez mumbled something inaudible to Evangeline, only gesturing to her to follow before she went down the spiral stairs. Evangeline was amused by the shy actions of Risallez and smiled to herself. She stopped in her tracks, and realised she had emotions. She was no longer what she called herself in the past - a Dark Angel. Feeling extremely confused, Evangeline ignored the truth about herself and hurried down the stairs after Risallez.
Arriving at a turn she has never seen before, Evangeline slowed down to a halt, breathing in short gasps. She released the hems of the gown and stepped slowly into the room that was in front of her. She let out a gasp at first sight of the room. The whole room, or rather, the ballroom, was breathtaking. The designs on the walls were painstalkingly carved out - Evangeline could tell. Her hands ran along the walls, feeling the bumpiness of each carving. "Evangeline?" Evangeline swung around, flustered, when she heard her name. Rolan was sitting behind a long table, and atop the table was food. Rolan gestured to the chair directly opposite of himself, and Evangeline got the message. Rolan went over and carried the chair out for her, allowing Evangeline to sit down. Evangeline took a glance at the cutlery in front of her with a puzzled look on her face. Rolan laughed, amused by the fact that Evangeline knew not of which cutlery to use. "Help yourself, it's okay if you don't know which cutlery to use. Go ahead," Evangeline nodded, with gratefulness, and started eating. Rolan looked at her with a smile on his face, and stared intently at Evangeline.
Finishing the food and wiping her mouth, Evangeline gave a nod at Rolan and he returned the nod. Rolan pushed out his chair and went over to Evangeline to help her out of her chair as well. Rolan put his hand in front of Evangeline, and she took it politely. Grasping his hand, Evangeline stepped behind Rolan and released her fingers. It didn't feel right to hold a guy's hand, especially Rolan's. Evangeline walked casually past Rolan and wanted to return to her room when she suddenly froze in her tracks. Rolan's hand was stretched out in Evangeline's direction. Evangeline's face had a look of terror on it; she knew Rolan was controlling her movements. Rolan walked to Evangeline's side and slipped his hands around her waist. "Don't you dare shun away from me, Evangeline... I've already taken a liking to you," He whispered in her ear and Evangeline flinched. She could feel his constant breathing on her neck, the warm air, and she couldn't do anything about it. Evangeline wasn't used to it, and it felt uncomfortable. Suddenly, Rolan released his grip on Evangeline - physically and magically. Evangeline stumbled forward, and clutched at her neck. She glared at Rolan, when out of the corner of her eyes she spotted something familiar - Senkrad's face.
Evangeline took a few steps back, shocked, and realised that it was just a poster, but a wanted poster. Revilis, Xino, Joshua and Dave's faces were there too. Evangeline tore the posters down from the wall and threw them in Rolan's direction, furious. "What's with this, Rolan? Explain yourself! You're the only one in the entire place who has enough power and authority to do this. Explain to me - why the wanted posters?!" Evangeline's voice echoed through the entire room. Rolan looked at her with his sapphire eyes and walked towards her. With every step that Rolan took, Evangeline moved two steps back. Rolan raised his hand, and Evangeline found her feet stuck to the ground, immobilised. "Shit," Evangeline cursed in her head, and found herself struggling to move, to no avail. Rolan took a few steps and was directly ahead of Evangeline. They were less that a metre away from each other. Evangeline looked up and found Rolan leaning forward, cupping her chin and putting his lips to hers. Evangeline blinked in surprise.
