Gabe sat on to of the Elk that he made friends with, it strutted with pride after they had killed the Sirin, Gabe on the other hand was covered in its blood after Mylene had sliced it in half, as the Sirin had dipped down to attack them. The Elk stopped when they made it back to the first room, Gabe could hear the fighting out side but he didn't get off, huffing to get Gabe's attention the Elk hopped up getting Gabe's mind back.

He looks down at the Elk it's eyes showed worried for him, Gabe sighed Mylene left him so she could handle the raging fires, telling him to help the others that are in needed. The thing is Gabe didn't know which one he knows Elena will be fine, she had two giants, a magical 500 year old wizard, and Alexzander that had the chance of being with the power of the Divines. But what of him all he had was just an Elk, taking this to note Gabe decided to help LIarm, Foloki, and Conner, turning his Elk buddy around they headed back towards the city. He asked a few people into knowing where the survivors went to, pointing towards a tall over grown buildings far from the now ruin city. Racing over towards the direction he was told Gabe stopped when elf guards stopped him, "I'm sorry but you can't go in!" The elf yelled stopping Gabe in his tracks.

"Why not?" Gabe looked around seeing nothing that looked out of the ordinary, "it's inside after we had gotten the people in safely a large black cloud entered in, locking everyone in" the elf points towards the door it was covered in large purple writing stopping anyone that could enter. Gabe looked around finding away in till the Elk yanked him back, Gabe's head was near the Elk's face it huff towards a building, it's roof top was leveled with the building's window, understanding what the Elk was implying Gabe nods agreeing with the Elk.

Lunging towards the building the two raced up a stairway and hopping up tow buildings, before getting to where they were going Gabe then noticed it was a glass window, "uhh...hey buddy maybe we should rethink this through?" Gabe says but the Elk didn't care, taking its antlers to smash through the window Gabe covers his face from the flying glass, the two landed in a way where Gabe stumbles off the Elk, who slid across the floor before hitting the wall on the other side. Gabe groans looking up from the floor he was laying on, he came face to face with undead they had the looks confusion, he sighs "great these things again" Gabe rolls out the way when one undead groans as it aimed it's sword at him. Gabe gets up from the floor he looks back seeing that everyone was huddling away, Conner and Foloki had their backs to the people trying to protect them from the undead, Gabe then sees LIarm holding Isabel, Jake, Borgan trying to shield them from the attack that was going to happen.

"Did I miss anything important?" Gabe runs over to Conner, who sighs in relief seeing that Gabe had showed up, "actually no the only one problem is LIarm is down and Foloki has no way to recharge his machine an I kind of pulled my leg..., nothing we can't handle ," Conner says Foloki then limps over to Gabe handing him a one handed axe, "now that your here I need you to go over there to that fallen crystal lantern, and get me some more of it while Conner handles the undead I have to get everyone into that room over there but it's locked."

"Got it!" Gabe runs over to the crystal lantern rolling out the way of the undead's attack, "watch for the archers!, their hide themselves in the shadows!," Conner yells over to Gabe "just take cover at the pillars and wait for a chance to move!" Gabe did but when he gotten to a pillar, he leans over there in the middle of the room was the crystal lantern. Gabe inched closer thinking crawling could help, as he head over a black swirling of smoke formed a hand holding a longbow, as two hands reached to the string holding a arrow aim at Gabe. Without warning a bloody ear piercing screamed echoed throughout the room, Gabe held his ears in pain before looking over to see the archer, his eyes grew wide seeing what it was going he bolted towards a pillar. Out breath Gabe lean to the right there the archer hand two heads and three arms, it's body was covered in smoke allowing it to float around the room, "my god...everything here is out to kill me.." Gabe hides away before the archer saw him, Gabe could feel it come closer as the air tensed when the undead came near Gabe.

Gabe quickly hid by crawling towards another pillar that was close by, this only caused Gabe to be further away from the crystal lantern, he placed his hands over his mouth to hold his breathing the undead groans, he could see that it's eyes were blue and white it touched the floor near itself. Noticing this Gabe had figured why it wasn't going after him when he's close by, it's nearsighted it can't see Gabe when it's close to him but far away it can, taking this in Gabe pulls out his sword slow as the undead crept closer, Gabe lunged forward stabbing the left head it roared in pain, Gabe ducked when a arm swings by destroying the pillar that Gabe was hiding behind. Twisting his legs to the ground to keep his balance, Gabe then swings his sword out of the undead's head cutting the second undead head eye in the process, roaring in anger the undead vanished to get away from Gabe, who quickly runs towards the crystal lantern grabbing around 5 shards. Not wanting to see if the undead will come back, Gabe stops when he comes face to face with a undead hoard, Gabe runs over to Foloki who grabbed one of the crystal setting it in his machine.

"I think you all need some sun for you're skin care" Foloki says as he aims at the undead hoard, they all groan and screeched in pain. As a white beam of light shoots from Foloki machine, ripping through the undead hoard with such grace that, Gabe thought it was best to stand behind Foloki when the Dwarf was going at the undead hoard. Gabe turns to the people who watched in aw as Foloki was dealing with this in ease, LIarm on the other hand was curled in a ball still in pain, Isabel and Jake were trying to help but they could do so much. Kneeling down Gabe asked LIarm it he could look at LIarms wound, LIarm nods as Gabe lifts LIarm's green robe coat up, a large whip indent could be seen but along the trail was small black vines pulsing, Gabe takes his hand to pull off these things as he pulled they came out, like he was pulling plants from the ground LIarm groans in pain, at the same time satisfied that the pain was going away. Jake gave a gross look as Isabel takes her hand with a small cloth, to keep LIarm wound cooled as they did this Conner makes a circling motion, before slamming his axe down on a undead, he fought off the undead as Foloki dealt more damage as they went on a large rumbling could be heard.

"Everyone stay calm!" Gabe yells people panicked pointing towards the ceiling above, as it caved in Tavar was smashed through the building side, holding on tight was Alexzander he was in Tavar's hair he was holding on, he looks back at Conner "where's Mylene!"

"Don't know I think she's dealing with something!," Conner slashed a undead with his axe as the undead undead flew back, near the main entrance doors as it hit the the double doors the undead was flung back over to Conner, when the two doors were slammed open standing there was Mylene covered in smoke and ashes, "what did I miss?"

"...uh the undead?"

"Man!, you guys always get the fun stuff!" Mylene stomps her foot while giving a dang it gesture, "well it's never to late to help!" Mylene takes her sabers lunging forward to help, she then runs up to Tavar and Alexzander twisting up and kicking a undead off Tavar. Alexzander was then handed Mylene's saber so he could help, the giant then leans back up going back outside, Mylene and Alexzander held on Tavar's beard as they rode the two could see. Elena riding on Amir who was an giant owl while firing her attacks, she had to hold on as Amir was far to fast when flying and moving out the way, Tavar's brother Dlogant was getting attack by large Ravens, as Elena and Amir turn out the way Mylene and Alexzander jumped off Tavar, attacking Cullen from above as they slashed down Cullen turn into smoke, kicking Alexzander back he flew passed Elena and Amir. As the two watched Alexzander fall from the sky they had to race after him, as they could Elena caught Alexzander from the sky as they flew up to face Cullen.

Cullen had Mylene by the throat she struggled to get away, "I think this has gone far enuff scenes you have one of my partners, and the gem as well I think it's fair I take something of yours?, we will meet up at Canesse a trade for your friend's life for the gem?"

"So what of Volance then?, your not going to trade for him instead!" Alexzander yells back at Cullen, "on the contrary if it makes you feel any better, I can give you the plans for making a royal sword?"

"Like we believe you that you have it, what was the point of us coming here if you had it from the start?, we would have gone after you if you had it?" Alexzander gripped Mylene's saber as Cullen hand gripped his best friend throat, "because Alexzander I know what it says the Founders language, I my not have it in my hands right now but I do know what it says so I know the plans~" Cullen smirks as he tossed Mylene to the side, trapping her in his large purple bubble "it's a fair trade?, Canesse Alexzander remember I'm not a patient man." Cullen then dissolved in smoke taking Mylene with him, leaving Alexzander there in shock Elena held him up, Cullen had hit Alexzander so hard he couldn't keep himself up.

The two royals flew back to the ground with Amir, as they landed LIarm was helped to his feet by the children, while Gabe, Conner, and Foloki raced over.

"Where's Mylene?, did any of you stopped Cullen?" Gabe asked but seeing their faces it wasn't good news, "Cullen has her..., and we have to meet at Canesse to get her back..."

"What does he want?" Foloki walks over, "a trade..."

"I see.."

The group then looks over to see Elas walking over they had heard her feet patter against the floors, she was holding up a large glass scroll case inside was a small scroll, it had gold lettering and it looked like it had stains over it, "I will hand over the scroll of the plans of making a royal sword..., but in return I want the royal sword back in the end of your long journey ahead" Elas hold up the glass case, Alexzander looks down then to Elas "I will"

"What!?"

Everyone looked at Alexzander in shock seeing that he was really going to give back the royal sword, "but what if something happens to Valisia wouldn't you need the royal sword then?" Elena walks up to Alexzander, she was only given a smile "I'll manage I know that the Royal Knights are here."

"Very well then Alexzander I hope your journey is smooth and successful, my the Divines guide you..." Elas hands over the glass case, "so does this mean we're back in business then?" Foloki looks to Conner, who balled his fist up "I don't agree to this but I for sure won't Cullen get away on what he's doing, and I trust that you know what your doing?"

"Well I was raised by the best" Alexzander smirks at Conner, "alright let's go get Mylene back alive"

"If she doesn't annoy the heck out of Cullen before the two make it to Canesse?" LIarm says as he limps over, "well we better get a move on then?" Foloki says.

"Do you really think Elena can change Alexzander's fate?"

"My dear we can only hope that she can change the fate of the world it self, she maybe willingly out of the carrying of her heart, but this path that I see can break those that follow, and that will bring such things to war..."
