"Ahh!" Seere shouted while he slammed his staff end onto the floor. Once the staff hit the floor, ice formed on the floor and went under the feet of the knights and Nell. The ice then went up their legs and formed sharp edges.
"Ahh!" Nell screamed while he shock the ice off his leg. Seere looked to his right and looked at the knights there.

"Move!" he shouted as he swung his right hand side wards and with that a forced knocked those knights to the ground to from a space within the circle.
"Be stuck to the floor by the power of ice!" Seere shouted slamming his staff onto the ground yet again. With that movement ice formed on the legs of the knights.
"Quick, there is a space! We must go!" Seere snapped looking over to Anghel and Edelblau however a clang off metal sounded in front of him.

"Rio!" Edelblau shouted and Seere looked forward to only see Rio swinging his sword with Nell as they fort.
"Cain!" Seere shouted and with that Cain ran forward towards Nell, he locked onto his target and with one swing of his sword Nell fell to the ground. A perfect hit!

Nell body laid still on the ground with a torn side.
"He is not dead" Cain said while he looked towards Anghel while Nell was indeed alive while he held his side.
"Rio!" Edelblau cried while she ran beside him and looked at his torn sleeve on his right side.

"Come, we must go!" Anghel snapped and he ran forward, however before following Anghel, Edelblau dropped kicked Nell in face.
"That's for hurting my friend you bastard!" She shouted while she ran behind the others.

They then all ran out of the city and into a woodland, they ran for awhile but then stopped. They stopped in front of a little lake while they all sat together breathless. Seere looked at Rio next to Edelblau as she pulled up his shirt sleeve.

"Rio! Your burnt!" She cried.
"WHAT!" Seere snapped getting up on his feet and stormed his way to Rio, he then grabbed his right arm and looked at the burn down his arm.
"That! That coward! Using magic spells on people who don't process them!" Seere snapped in anger. Rio looked up to him with a small smile however he felt a cold chill go up his arm.

"Nnn" he moaned in pain while he looked down and he watched light blue lines go to his wound. The ice cooled down the burn on Rio's arm while he looked up to Seere.
"There! You owe me one for that!" Seere snarled letting go off Rio's arm and walked back where he was and sat down.

"Thank you" Rio said while Seere looked away from him pulling his hood up.
Anghel then stood in front of both Rio and Edelblau.
"Are you alright Rio? Is it your fighting arm?" Anghel asked.
"No and I'm alright. Seere's ice stopped it from burning and hurting me" Rio answered while Edelblau

"I am glad" Anghel smiled and he turned to Seere.
"I thank you" Anghel said while he bowed.
"Huh, you're welcome" Seere mumbled.

Anghel then walked to a rock and sat down while Cain went next to him. Anghel looked at him while Cain returned his look.
"How many days do we have to travel? Do you know" Cain asked.
"It's around a week walk" Anghel answered.
"A week!" Edelblau moaned.

"Hahaha, don't you worry Mon amie! You have the pleaser of my company" Cain smiled.
"I wouldn't call that a pleaser" Seere mumbled
"Ahh! So harsh Seere!" Cain said in a sad voice but with a small smile, Anghel chuckled at the two brothers. However he looked upwards to the evening sky.
"Night is falling on us quickly" Anghel said.
"Hmm, it would seem so" Cain said while he looked around to the trees around him and the others.

"Might as well make a camp then!" Cain smiled while he stood up.
"Huh, a camp?" Anghel asked.
"Well yes, this seems a safe spot to sleep... Rio, Seere help me to find firewood will you" Cain smiled.
"Huh, fine!" Seere snapped while he stood up and Rio did the same.
"Edelblau you stay here in the safe hands of Anghel" Cain smiled and with that he walked away with Seere and Rio by his side.

Anghel and Edelblau sat opposite each other while they looked at each other.
"I am truly great full to you for accepting to help me with this mission, Edelblau" Anghel smiled.
"Ahh no problem Anghel! You know me, ready for any challenge! Differently to defeat evil!" Edelblau smirked while Anghel smiled at her.
"I am also great full to Rio" Anghel said.
"You must tell him" Edelblau smiled.
"I shall!" Anghel said loudly however a familiar shout sounded.

"What are you doing with that you idiot!" Seere voice shouted while Anghel and Edelblau looked right wards towards the trees in front of them.
"Oh no! No! Get away from me!" Seere shouted however he was in sight as he ran towards Anghel and Edelblau with his hood down.
"Now come here!" Cain shouted while he ran after Seere grabbed his left shoulder. Only then did he quickly put a red flower in his hair. Seere pushed Cain away from him with a angry but red face.

"Haha! Just as I thought! Cute!" Cain laughed while he pulled Seere hood up back on top of his head.
"Edelblau look!" Cain laughed while he turned Seere around to her. Her eyes widened while she looked at the red face of Seere. Under his white hood the rose was placed on top of his head however she noticed another flower head next to one of his cat ears on his hood.
"Isn't my younger brother just cute!" Cain laughed.
"You fool!" Seere snapped while he grabbed Cain's right hand and froze it.

Cain pulled his hand free and shook it to break the ice from his hand.
"Why must you mock me so! Does it entertain you that much?! You! You fool!" Seere shouted while he took the flower heads off his head. He huffed while he walked to Edelblau .
"Here, I do not wish for them! Do what you wish for them!" Seere mumbled. Edelblau blushed while she took one of the flower heads off Seere and placed it in her hair.
"T...Thank you" she stuttered while she felt so hot.
"Do you not wish for the other?" Seere asked.
"No, but Rio might!" She smiled.

"Huh?" Seere mumbled while he looked to Rio who was helping Cain make the fire.
"Why would he like a flower?" Seere asked.
"Oh well...Erm...He may like to attach it to his clothing" Edelblau answered.
"I see" Seere said while he turned around and walked to Rio and Cain but even before he could go to the fire wood Cain's voice stopped him.
"Oh no! Keep away! I am trying to make a fire here and your froze magic won't help!" Cain snapped.

"I wish to give this to Rio, Edelblau said he may like it" Seere said and in that moment him and Cain looked at Rio. Rio's eyes were widened while he slightly blushed.
"Erm...Yes, I can attach it to my clothing!" Rio smiled while he stood up, walked to Seere and took the flower head off him. He then attached it to his shirt with a pin that he got out of his pocket.
"Thank you" Rio smiled.
"Huh, you're welcome!" Seere snarled and with that he sat in the gap between Edelblau and Anghel.

Rio went back on his knees beside Cain while they sorted the firewood into a pile.
"Your cute with a red face" Cain smirked while Rio looked at him.
"Please, do not use sweet talk on me...It won't work" Rio sighed.
"No...I shall become my brother then" Cain smiled while he watched Rio's eyes widened.
"Haha!" laughed Cain.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about!" Rio snapped while he stood up and got his sword out.
"Sure, sure!" Cain laughed while Rio picked up a rock and slid it on his sword. With the two touching it sparked fire which went onto the firewood, fire then burnt on the firewood making a large fire.
"Haha! A fire!" Anghel laughed while Seere moved away from it a little.

"Good job guys!" Edelblau smirked while she went closer to the fire with a smile on her face. Cain smirked at her but he sat next to Anghel while Rio sat between Edelblau and Seere.
"So what's the plan?" Cain asked while Anghel looked at him.
"What are you planning to do once we get to Wallenstein's layer?" Cain asked.
"I plan to do what the jobs ask and destroy him!" Anghel answered.
"So you're going to kill him?" Cain asked.

"I don't usually believe in killing souls but he is a dark and twisted one. The gods asked for his head so I shall bring it to them" Anghel said.
"How about if there is some good left deep down him?" Cain asked.
"If we can free that side of him then fine but if not...He shall face the judgement the gods wish for!" Anghel said while he looked up to the night sky and the white stars flicking on it.
"Together, we shall bring the gods wish" Anghel said still looking up at the night sky.
"Indeed, I be glad to help you" Cain smiled...

Next day...

Edelblau opened her eyes to see green grass and a burnt out pile of firewood in front of her. However she felt warm so she looked over her shoulder to see one of Anghel's wings over her. She smiled looking to the sleeping Anghel on his back laid next to her. However his eyes opened and he sat up lifting his wing off Edelblau.

Anghel yawned but then he frowned.
"Edelblau, can you hear that?" Anghel asked her and she sat up and listened carefully she heard nothing at first but then...Then she heard a low singing voice from a far.
"Singing?" Edelblau said while she looked at Anghel who seemed to be smiling.
"It's Neg!" Anghel smiled and with that he stood up and ran forward.

"Anghel!" Edelblau shouted however he was gone, she looked were Anghel was laid and there was Rio laid on his side facing away from Edelblau.
"Rio!" Edelblau shouted while she shuffled to her friend and shook him.
"Rio, wake up!" Edelblau snapped and with that Rio's eyes opened.
"Err, Edelblau...What is it?" Rio asked his voice tried while his eyes were half open.

"Anghel has run off! Quick wake up the other two, I'm going to catch up to him!" Edelblau said and with that she ran after Anghel. Rio sighed, sat up and looked over to the other side of the firewood. He saw Seere asleep beside Cain, Rio sighed, stood up and walked to the two brothers.

He stood beside Cain while he looked down to the two bothers. Cain was on his side facing towards Rio while Seere was next to him resting his back on his. Seere also held his staff in his arms holding tightly pressing it to his body, his hood was also pulled over his face and head.

Rio smiled down to the two brothers but then he shook his head, knelt down and patted Cain on the shoulder. Cain woke up straight away and looked up to Rio.
"We must go" Rio said while Cain sat up and looked at him confused.
"Huh, why?" Cain asked in confused.
"Anghel has go off running" Rio said.
"What!" Cain snapped which made Seere jump awake while he moaned.
"Err" he sounded.

"Come on!" Rio said and he ran off to the direction Edelblau went.
"Seere get up, we must go!" Cain shouted while he stood up dragging his younger brother with him.
"Alright! Alright!" Seere snapped while he pulled his arm free and they both ran forward...

Meanwhile

Anghel was running towards the smooth singing.
"Let the sun lead us to a place where our dreams come true...Let us lead us to a place where time and death have no meaning"

"Neg!" Anghel shouted while he ran through the forest but then he saw him. The back of a man was in front of him. Anghel ran in front Neg while they stopped moving.
"Oh...It's you again" Neg said while he pressed his lute on his chest. Anghel looked at Neg's blonde hair and yellow eyes.
"Greetings Neg, I wondered if you could help me" Anghel said but before Neg could say anything another voice sounded.

"Anghel!" shouted Edelblau while Anghel looked leftwards and watched her run beside him. She stood still breathing heavily.
"Err, I wish *pant* you didn't run *pant* so fast" Edelblau breathless but then she looked at Neg while he looked at her with wide eyes but then he pulled a sad face. Edelblau eyes widened while Anghel looked at Neg.
"Do you know the way to Wallenstein's castle Neg?" Anghel asked while he looked at the watery eyes of Neg.

"I'm afraid not my friend" Neg answered.
"However I do" sounded a voice while Anghel and Edelblau looked over their shoulders to the Assassin Haltfate.

Anghel smiled while Seere, Cain and Rio joined him and Edelblau.
"Err, why do you have to run off fool!" Seere snapped in anger.

"Keep walking south, it is a two weeks walk. But you will make it" Haltfate smirked while Neg walked beside him with a small smile.
"You returned" Neg smiled.
"Indeed, friend" Haltfate smiled back.
"I thank you" Anghel said while bowed and he walked forward with a smirk on his face. Rio, Seere and Edelblau followed him, however Cain looked at Haltfate while he returned the look. They were both frowned each other but then Cain joined the others while they walked away from Haltfate and Neg.

"Come! We make our way to Wallenstein's castle!" Anghel shouted while pointing forward with a wide smile...
