Part 4

Dark Alliance

Lore wakes up and finds herself in a dark room.

Lore- Where am I?

Lore feels a chill like something sinister is close to her.

Lore-Ah! Who's there? Show yourself!

Yuber- Haha! I just love the fear in your eyes!

Suddenly, a faint light appears in the room. The source of light comes from the staff that a woman is holding.

Lore- What, who the hell are you! What do you want!

Luc- Having fun, Yuber?

Yuber- Yes. You know I love to see chaos and death, Luc! (With a smile on his face)

Lore- Who are you? And what do you want from me?

Sarah- Speak to Master Luc with some respect. (glares at Lore) He was the one that saved you!

Lore- What!

Luc- Yes I did, but I have my reasons. (Has a look on his face)

Lore- Reasons? I don't know what you want, but thanks for saving me.

Luc- What's your name?

Lore- Oh, my name is Lore and yours?

Luc- I'm Luc, this is Sarah and right next to me is Yuber. Another member of my group, Albert, isn't here at the moment. I'm starting to get upset with him.

All of a sudden, Albert appears.

Luc- Well Albert, where have you been? We have a guest that is with us and her name is Lore.

Albert- (Turns looking at Lore with a smile on his face and he welcomes her to the group) Master Luc, I found where the True Fire Rune is.

Lore becomes dazed. Lore has a strange feeling from Luc like he had a Rune. From distances the Rune felt warm inside of Luc.

Lore- (in thought) I¼ I must protect Luc!

Sarah- (staring at Lore) Master Luc, Lore is a little pale something might be weird because I can sense it.

Luc- (Walking up to Lore) Lore...are you ok? Lore! Hey, Lore!

Albert stands by wondering what is happening with that girl.

Lore- Yes I'm alright. But why should I join you guys?

Yuber- Because you have no choice, missy! Hehe!

Luc- You're with us now to help me out and we're getting ready to depart. I know where to go.

Sarah- It is as you will, Master Luc!
