Luz and Boscha led Becky and Lucia out of the room.

"So, are you certain that you're the only prisoners here?" Luz asked.

"Well, the tall guy never mentioned anything about anyone else being here." Lucia said.

"Tall guy?" Luz asked, "What tall guy?"

"Tall, wears a white cloak, has this gold colored mask. What was his name?"

"Belos." Becky said.

"Yes, thank you. He said his name was Belos."

Boscha and Luz's eyes went wide. Belos was behind this.

"E-E-Emperor Belos had you two held here? Torturing you?" Luz asked, getting angry.

Boscha had to grab Luz's wrist in order to prevent her from running to that castle and getting killed. Luz turned to her and hissed at her.

"Don't hiss at me." Boscha said, "You may be the Primus, but I'm not letting you run there and get yourself killed. This is one thing we have to put aside for now, we don't know if he's working with the Vampire Hunters, we don't know if they just so happened to find these two here and decided to have fun with them. We have to wait and deal with this after we deal with the hunters."

Luz closed her eyes and groaned.

"Fine, but the second we're done, I'm giving Belos a piece of my mind." Luz said.

"As am I." Boscha said, "But let's focus on getting them out of here. I don't smell Skara here."

"Neither do I." Luz said, "Let's go."

Skara's eyes opened slowly. She groaned as she sat up.

"What happened? Why does my chest hurt? It feels like I got stabbed." Skara said.

She looked around and noticed she's in a cave.

"Where am I?"

Skara got up and started to walk around. She turned a corner and came face to face with Jho. She nearly screamed until she realized he was sleeping. She walked to the side of the giant creature. She reached a hand out and touched the creatures green protofeathers.

"He's... so soft." Skara said.

"He really is."

Skara turned around and saw the masked man, sitting on a nearby rock.

"W-w-where did you bring me?"

"I brought you to my home." He said, "You would've died if I didn't."

"Who are you?" Skara asked.

He got up and walked over.

"I'm a friend." He said, "And this is Jho, my best friend and only family left. We're both the last of our respective kind, me by name and him by species."

"What is he?"

"A Surian, the last of the great beasts." He said, motioning for her to follow, "Come, there is much I need to tell you."
