Another: Sorry guys I haven't written in about a year or so, but I finally got an idea on how to make the storey keep your interest. Hope you like it.

Our story continues three weeks after Val's and Lina's meeting. Atrium had gone back

home and told his parents of the news on Lina. Needless to say they were excited that their

old friend is fairing well.

During the three week Lina had told Val she was appointed the new Knight of Chaos.

She explained the old one wanted to retire or something, and since she cased the Giga Slave

she was next in line to take the title. So she had been training those 50 years to do so.

Lina continued in saying that thanks to her the monster race was severely lacking in power, and

she had to find the reincarnation of Phabrizo and restore the power to him. Otherwise the

dragons and Monsters would end up having a number 3 War of the Monsters Fall, and to many

humans would die. The LON(Lord of Nightmares) did want that because she found humans

way to entertaining, plus it wasn't time to end this world yet.

Val understood and agreed to accompany Lina on her quest. So our story picks up in a

shadowy creepy forest.

"Lina are you sure this is the way to the town we're supposed to be heading to", Val asked Lina.

She said, "Of course I'm sure. Why is little Val scared."

"No of course not. I was just making sure you weren't getting us lost." He retorted.

"Well, I am not. But thanks for the vote of confidence", she replayed.

"Anytime", smiled Val.

"So how far from Carthage are we anyways", asked Val.

"About a week. It's near Sairag and Sarune", replied Lina.

They finally got out of the forest and saw a little town.

"I think we should stop their for the night" said Lina.

"Good Idea", said Val.

The town has not very busy. You saw a few people hear and their trying to cause trouble, but all in all it was pretty peaceful. For now. Lina and Val checked in a local inn and got their
rooms. The inn was probably a three star motel, but they didn't care they just wanted a place
to sleep. The two saw a local dinner and decide to eat their.

The dinner was small. But, quite. Their were pictures of famous heroes who had fought

for the town. One include what looked like Luna Inverse, Lina's big sister. And when Lina saw

this she almost laughed. It was of a girl with purple hair standing over a red head monster

kinda looked like Lina. And the monster was cowering in fear as the blade was on the

monsters neck.

"What's so amusing", Val asked.

Lina replied, "Oh nothing."

A fat women with curly black hair who was warring a waitress outfit on asked,

"So what can I get you two love birds tonight."

"We're not love birds", exclaimed Val, blushing a bit. Lina was too, but she tried to hid it and told the woman her order.

Shortly after Val did to, and the women left. About two minutes later she had their drinks and in 10 she had their meals.

They ate, talked, and laughed at previous events which occurred in the day. Then Lina

stopped talk as she noticed a man with raven color hair walk in. His eyes were the color of the

sea and his skin a healthy tan color. He wore black pants and a long- sleeved gray shirt, with

brown gloves and black boots.

A waitress sat him a table across Lina where the two could look eye to eye. When she

saw the man smile back at Lina, Lina diverted her gaze back towards her food. The man the

got up from his table and went to where Lina and Val were sitting.

Val looked up when the man had approached, however Lina still was seemed more

interested in her food. Val spoke seeing Lina wasn't going to.

"Is their something I can help you with sir."

"Actually their is my good man. You and your women friend here, pointing to

Lina, seem to be a sorceress, and you a sorcer am I correct?", said the black haired man.

Lina spoke, "So. what's your point."

"My name is Drew Anderson, I am the kings adviser to this kingdom and we are in need of magic users such as your selves", said the man known as Drew.

"Mr. Anderson, your town seem pretty quite here and well, you see where in a quest of

our own so go bother some other traveler", Val said.

"Well, you see it may seem peaceful at day, but at night a monster comes and kidnaps young woman. Our princess has been captured and all the men who return are all old or never return. Please help us," pleaded Drew.

"Like I said where not interested right Lina", Val said.

Lina smile, "How much are you willing to play for your princess return?"

"Oh the king would give you a handsome reword I know it", said Drew.

"Lina you can't be serious" retorted Val.

"In that case Mr. Anderson you got your self a deal." replied Lina.

"Oh thank you, and you can call me Drew. Also my I ask you to your names."

"No", Val. Then Lina kicked him and he gave her a mean glare which she just smiled at.

"Val's the name and my partner here is Lina Inverse."

Drew looked at Lina and smiled darkly, "Well, with Lina Inverse on the job I am sure
this monster will be disposed of." "Well, we will start in the morning get a good night sleep and if you hear any women scream that's the sound of the monster at work. Enjoy your meal," Drew said and left the dinner.

"Charming man", Val said. Lina nodded and the two continued eating, and finally retired for the night.

Val was in his room and couldn't help but wonder why Lina had agreed, and when he asked her she said she had her reason. Hum he thought. "Oh well no need to think anymore
I'm to tired for it," yawed Val as he drifted to sleep.

In a distant cave... "Master Lina Inverse is

here and she plans on stopping you. What do you plan to do?"

"Good work Drew. It's been over 50 years since I have seen little Lina, and tonight all have her pay me a visit," a man with shoulder length black hair, and green eyes said. "Slap a hard sleep spell on the girl, and bring her here, Drew fail and you shall die, But succeed and the reword will be great. Now go."

With that Drew left and went to carry out his masters bidding.

MCLB LUE here so who is this man that wish to see Lina. And will he succeed? FIND OUT in the next Chapter.
