"Are you serious!"Millenia gasped.

"Im dead serious,Millenia. I didnt know that particular guy though. He mustve been a rookie,"Ryudo replied."It shouldnt be that hard to get her back then,right?"The red-head suggested."What makes you think that?"Ryudo asked.

"Well,youre a,Geohound right? Just put on your old duds and theyll recognize you,"Millenia smiled.

"Yeah,lets just head back to the inn and get a good rest,"Ryudo replied as he walked back to the village.

"Wait,Ryudo! We cant just sleep soundly while Elenas life is in danger. Not that were like best friends or anything,"Millenia protested. "Geohounds arent life-takers,Millenia. Although,my guess is they were hired to abduct Elena. They person thats paying them could be a life-taker. Well,theyre hideout is somewhere near Cyrum Kingdom so lets just have a good night sleep and head there tomarrow,"Ryudo suggested.

Ryudo and Millenia woke up from their long sleep and made there way to the village exit when they saw Roan all bandaged-up following them. "Ryudo,I want to accompany you,"said Roan. "Sorrry buddy,but youre in no condition to go with us. Imagine how Cyrum would manage if those men had killed you. Youre lucky Tio chose to be a nurse as her career option. You cant return to your kingdom until youre fuly recovered,"Ryudo informed. "I understand,"Roan sighed and he headed back to Tio.

Ryudo and Millenia exited the village and walked up the mountain path.

"Excuse me,"a man called. Ryudo turned around to see the worried face of Dale.

"What do you want!" Ryudo hollered.

"It is my girlfriend thats in danger. Wouldnt you expect me to help?" The man asked.

"DONT YOU EVER CALL ELENA AN "IT" AGAIN!"Yelled Ryudo.

"Im sorry," Dale replied backing away from Ryudo.

"Yeah,even though Elenas just your average 18-year-old and I think shes a tad too preachy,she did help save you're and everyones behind on this entire planet!" Millenia yelled. "Look,I just wanted to help,"Dale pleaded. "What use would you be?" Ryudo asked. "Im an axe weilder," Dale said, drawing his weapon. Ryudo felt a knot in his stomach as he remembered the death of Mareg. "Fine,you can come,"Ryudo sighed.

The three continued up the path.

"Here,boss," Geohound #1 replied handing Elena over to him.

"Youre welcome. Now I shall use her energy to revive Melfice,"The boss replied.

"Why do you want Melfice back so much. Wasnt he a bringer of ruin?"Geohound #2 asked. "Because I will have control of his power and Ill use it to become the next Valmar,"The man laughed. "Ok Navig. Should we bring the girl to the alter now?" Geohound #2 asked. "Its boss,not Navig. Anyways,the Ceremony will not be complete unless it is performed at full-moon. Now,wheres Roy?" "He fell in battle. A man chopped him down. A man whom the called out the name of Ryudo. He is probably on his way to stop us,"Geohound #1 sighed. Ryudo. He was my finest Geohound, Navig thought to himself.
