Glarion 3rd POV

He was in his laboratory, a room he took for himself and filled it with many ingredients. He was working until he felt his connection to the Blackstone get cut.

"He did it" sighed Glarion before moving out of his laboratory, Ophis won't like this.

Lifain 3rd POV

She was the current Hound of Culann, the current wielder of the spear Gae Bolg. She was in the service of Ophis, which means that she's the one who deals with the dirty work. So, when Ophis told her to go and track the one who deserted their ranks, she obeyed without asking a question.

"He's not 'lone" she mumbled while she was looking at a set of footsteps 'I ain't lettin' 'im get away'

She began to follow the footsteps while getting some memories.

-Flashback-

A younger Lifain was holding the Gae Bolg as it was impaling an old man and around them were many dead men.

"Looks like they didn't knew how to handle you" Lifain turned and saw Ophis standing behind her "I really wonder if your place is with them"

"What do ya bloody want?" she asked lowly.

Ophis smiled before answering with "I feel like you need to be somewhere better"

"That's none of yer bloody business!" yelled Lifain before removing the spear from the body.

"I feel sadness and lowliness within you" commented Ophis before seeing a spear near her face.

"Don't ya butt in my bloody life lassy" warned Lifain with anger.

"Why don't you see your new friends before judging" stated Ophis before teleporting them to a cave

"You're back" said a Japanese girl.

"I had some difficulties, but it paid off in the end" replied Ophis.

"Where in te hell am I?" wondered Lifain before seeing the girl walking to her.

"You're human" said the girl with a neutral face.

"Ya just noticed…?" replied Lifain with a sweatdrop.

"You're strong" added the girl "Your spear is deadly. Why do you hate it?"

"I don't" replied Lifain, looking away with irritation.

"Seems like you've already made a friend" giggled Ophis "You should be happy that Kumiko decided to talk with you, she usually never sees interest in anyone"

"Like I bloody care" replied Lifain before being yanked by Kumiko.

"I'll introduce you to the others" said Kumiko, pulling Lifain with an incredible strength.

"I don't wanna ya bloody brute" protested Lifain, but she was ignored.

-Back to the present-

"Prepare yerself lad" mumbled Lifain "Ye can count yer minutes. No one turns 'is back to Ophis 'nd stays 'live"

-Scene change: Vali's team castle-

Kumiko 3rd POV

She was walking through the corridors when she heard cries, she decided to follow the sound to Shirone's room.

"Shirone, are you alright?" asked Kumiko, outside Shirone's room.

"Kumiko-senpai" sobbed the Nekomata as she opened the door "I… I'm sorry"

"Sorry for what?" asked Kumiko with confusion.

"I said that I would prepare you something but… but…" she didn't have time to end as she was pulled in a hug by Kumiko.

"It's okay, you didn't have to go this far" said Kumiko as she was patting her head "Beside, it's not too late, if you really want to do it, you can still do it"

Shirone looked up before smiling at her and then nodded.

POV-DEVEN-a few weeks later.

Deven was having a wonderful time with his new comrade. His name was Everett stinee. He was a laid back guy, go with the flow sort. But he can and will kick your ass if he wants to. Deven was chopping firewood, Everett lived pretty far off the map. He lived old school which was ok with him.

*DODGE LEFT!*

Deven jumped left *THUNK*

He turned to see a crimson spear buried in the side of the tree he was chopping.

"Damn, yer a fast one, no matter, ye will pay fer desertin us."

He entered his lawbringer form. "How did you find me so fast?"

"I be an expert hunter" she held out her hand and the spear flew back to her.

"You know you can not beat me by yourself."

"We'll see 'bout that ladd."

The fight began.

The two clashed weapons over and over. She did get a couple of lucky shots. The spear cut through his armor slightly. They clashed and both jumped away.

Balance breaker. He changed but kept his size the same.

Lifains eyes widened.

"I do not wish to hurt you, please go back." Deven really did not want to hurt her. But he would if he had to.

"In your dreams ladd"

She charged and unleashed a flurry of swings and strikes in a blur. They were all blocked by his shield, leaving nothing but small scratches.

"Enough" He bashed the Irish girl back, sending her tumbling. He planted a boot on her chest, not enough to hurt. Just enough to keep her down. "Do you yield?"

"NEVER!"

Deven raise his sword. "You have chosen death, I never wanted this." His sword started to swing.

"Stop"

He froze. He turned around to see Ophis behind him. "Please release her."

"Listen, dragon. I don't want to cause more trouble, I left because I am too much of a burden. I won't hurt any of you, but I will defend myself."

He took his boot off of Lifains chest and stepped back. She picked up her spear and limped to Ophis, leaning on her spear. "Tell Kumiko, The knights and the Vikings have aligned."

Ophis nodded and they left.

"Woah, did I miss something?"

Deven turned to see Everett with his hands full of bags.

He then turned to see all the craters left behind.

"Oh it was nothing important."
