Prologue:

Jess reached home, tired and weary. He was exhausted from his job as a bartender at a bar. Ever since he recieved a threatning note from Neclord, he ceased being Jess and undergone a 360 degree change. It's been a few months now and Jess was sure he had everyone fooled. He faked his own death and moved away from the castle.

Jess frowned when he saw his room was filled with all sorts of gifts. They from the rich men and women trying to coax him into their beds. He groaned as he decided it was time to move to another place again. He checked his map and decided that Muse would be next. He had wanted to return but he reminded himself not to reveal his identity to anybody. He was Lorr, not Jess. Lorr gathered all his gifts and packed his clothes. There was even a note telling him of a beautiful horse waiting for him downstairs. "All the easier for me to get away with." he snickered.

Lorr walked downstairs and was surprised to see a handsome young man waiting for him downstairs. His name was Lorenzo and he was one of his suitors. "Leaving so soon?" the wealthy man asked. Lorr forced a small smile. "Yeah, it's getting to exciting here." he remarked as he eyed the man with caution. The latter raised his hands up with an easy going smile and shrugged. "Hey..hey..Don't look at me like that." Lorr didn't answer but kept on going out of the inn. There was a stable around and he searched for the said horse.

He found one with a big red bow tied to it and climbed on with obvious expertise. "A beauty, ain't she." Lorenzo remarked, with hands in his pocket. "I knew she's be perfect for you." he added. That caught Lorr's attention. "You must have spent a fortune on this." the bartender said, eyes downcast. Lorenzo nodded and produced a bottle of wine. He tossed it at his target.

"Kanakan wine." Lorr murmured. He opened the bottle and sniffed it. "I watch you all the time. You never drink wine. Why is that?" Lorenzo asked. Jess stiffened but tried not to show it. It was ture, he never did drink any wine. But he nver thought anyone noticed. "That's because I only drink when no one's watching. I don't look good while drinking." he reasoned out. Then, he mentally hit himself. What a lame excuse. Jess smiled and brought the bottle to his lips. He drank half of the wine before speeding off into the night.

Once he was away from town, Jess spat the wine in his mouth. He didn;t have such strong resistance to alcohol. He threw the bottle away in disgust and sped off for Muse. He hoped that he never had to face with that Lorenzo character again. Something about him wasn't right.
