It is late at night and we see the strange asian woman sitting in a cave in front of a fire. "I have to stop him. And the only way to do that is to acquire the power of a dragoon. This is the place where they are supposed to be. Maybe I'm not getting their attention. I have to find Dart and take something valuable from him. Something he will definitely come running after. . . ." We see Shana sleeping while Dart and Miranda leave early in the morning. Dart writes a note for Shana.
They leave and we see her open her eyes abruptly. See reads the note and seems very upset. "Hmm . . . . ." she reads the note. "Dear Shana, I know that you would love to come along and help us all, but I just can't risk your life. I am sorry but you are no longer a dragoon. I love you very much. Please trust us to save the world. I promise that I will return to you after we have accomplished our goal. With love, Dart. P.S. Miranda says thank you for the food and shelter. Bye." Shana puffs. "Whatever." She says. She looks around and slowly paces to her room in some devious way. She goes to her bed and pulls out her armor and her bow and arrow.
Now, we see King Albert and Queen Emille sitting on their thrones. A servant walks in, bows to them and then announces that His Majesty has visitors. "See them in." he says. "Very well, your highness." He leaves the room and then Dart and Miranda enter the room. They bow down before them. "Dart! Miranda! What brings you here?" "Hello Your Majesty. We have urgent news to report to you. Miranda, would you like to explain what is happening?" "Sure." After a half hour of explaining, King Albert looks over to Emille. "King Albert, we need to know if you will be joining us. You don't have to but we need all the help we can get for this." Dart says. King Albert thinks to himself for a moment. He looks over to his beautiful wife. She smiles. "You know what you must do. Your duty is as ruler of Serdio, but most importantly, your duty is to protect the earth as a dragoon."
Albert stirs a little on his throne. "You are right my darling. I trust you to look after the affairs of this country while I am gone." He gets up and kisses her. "Until we meet again." He says. "Be strong." Emille says. When he leaves the room her head tips down so that her eyes are not seen. A tear rolls down her cheek.
Albert's servants offer to come along and protect him. "No. Stay and protect my wife." Dart looks over to Albert. "Your Majesty, thank you again for all of your help." "No. From now on, I want you to address me as Albert." "Just like old times." Miranda says. The three of them travel towards Lohan where they hope to find Meru. They are almost there, when all of a sudden; a giant spider-like creature attacked them. "Oh God!" Miranda cried out as she loaded an arrow into her bow. She tried to shoot the arrow, but the monster slammed her on to the floor. She got up and tried to run, but the creature grabbed her by the quiver on her back. She quickly unstrapped it and reached for her bow with the arrow next to it.
Dart took his sword and chopped off one of it's hairy legs. The monster roared with anger as it pinned him against a tree. Albert took his spear and ran towards the monster. The monster spun one of it's legs at him. He dodges the first leg, but is quickly knocked unconscious by another. Then, as the creature laughs, it begins to grow it's fallen leg back. Miranda was loading her arrow when suddenly, the creature grabbed the arrow and snapped it in half. "Oh no!" She said. The creature had an evil grin across it's ugly face. Bravely, Miranda charged at it with her bow in hand. She dodges a couple of his legs and jumps a few also. She gets to him and begins to engage in fist-to-fist combat. She jumps into the air to avoid a leg and kicks his face.
Then the monster shows her his fangs. She takes her bow and smashes one of them. The creature throws her against a tree and she can no longer fight. She slowly goes unconscious as she sees him running to her. He picks her up by her neck. He looks around at the unconscious warriors and seems very pleased with himself. He is thinking that since she hurt him the most, he can eat Miranda first. Then he could save the other two for a snack later on. He opens his mouth and roars into the unconscious female's face.
