(Somewhere at Forgotten City)

Now, the desert of the Forgotten City was already upgraded. The royal guard could neutralized the area by decreased the Paraminy amounts. Some villages had been built. But they still need some help. And because of that, Knight Master had given an order to three members of the Chaser to help some villages' construction. Right now, two of them were inside the village, helping with the food supplies.

A grey haired demon was walking straight with a box on his hand. It looked like a food box. Alongside with him, there were Gargoyles that also carrying some other boxes. The environment there was dry, yellow sand and ruins were everywhere. The demon did not seem complained at that. Except the pink haired demon that was suffering from the heat. Muttered some cursed words about the heat.

"I'm a lady of Crimson River family. This kind of work doesn't suit me" She whispered as she lay down on her back under a ruin where those shadows cool her down. But she was actually floating a bit from the ground so the hot stone did not make her hotter. The male demon did not respond at all and just tried to help the villagers by carrying the food supply. The villagers did not angry at her behavior, because she was the Grand Chase. And the villagers always respected the Grand Chase. And it was because she was still helping with her Gargoyle.

Far away, the third one, a white haired boy named Brendan, wandered around the village to scout the area, whether there was an invasion from the foes. He didn't need many weapons to use. After all, there was no sight of enemies. Maybe they've gone too far on the last mission?

Being as sharp as usual, he quickly turned around and performed his defense stance, just in case… His weapon's sharp edge was pointed at a wavy black haired man. His hair was a shoulder length, shorter. He also wore a cream colored scarf along with cream long cape that covered his own clothes. His hands were raised in sign of surrender along with his surprised face. Brendan's black eyes glared at his wide rusty gold eyes. And he looked older than Brendan. Around 20.

"Tora tora(1)… I'm harmless" The man said, now stared at the tip of Brendan's weapon. Brendan wasn't going to release him easily. The stranger could walk behind him without Brendan noticed his existence.

"Who are you?" Brendan questioned him.

"We were just travelers, we're out of food so we think we can find food here.." The man said as he looked to the other side, or looked at something behind him.

We?.. Brendan wondered, peeked at his back. But he still had his eyes on the strange man. The kid saw a black haired woman with her long hair tied across her shoulder smiled at him. Her face was pale and looked sick. After a few seconds of thinking, he raised his right hand to the man in front of him.

"?"

As soon as he did that, a faint blue flare appeared before his hand and launched itself to the man as it formed into a cage shaped mana sphere. Both of the travelers surprised at his sudden act. But they didn't protest or attack back. The man inside the cage still raised his hands while looking at the glowing mana around him. His face looked restless. Brendan walked pass the cage, to the woman who stared at her partner.

"Hello, what do you want?" He said to her. The woman didn't respond for a second, but then she said.

"We're apologizing for the rudeness, My name is Erheise, and the man you trapped is Basil.. my brother. We are… looking for a market to buy food supply" She said slowly with a tensed up face. The boy nodded and pointed to where the village was.

"You will find a village there..." He said with his hand still pointing. Erheise smiled and stepped back. Brendan seemed forget about the man he trapped. But that man now was walking pass him with a tired looking face as he mumbled "kids these days". Brendan quickly looked back at the cage, just remembered about him. The cage was still there. But there were some weird looking metals hanging on the side of the cage that looked like a door.

"Ah... if you seen a girl that looked like me.. Don't say anything about us... Even to your friends" When he heard the women's voice, he turned back to them. He saw nothing.

"Weird people" he mumbled as he return to his guard duty.

Amy was still panicked about the bracelet that could suck people's blood while Lire, Arme, Aira and Jin, quietly, trying to calm her down. Elyce was beaten by Torn after he recovered from the body lock while Torn was laughing maniacally.

(Flashback)

"Ah.. no no.. it's not blood.. er.. it is.. but-" Elyce was trying to explain about C.C. to Amy but interrupted by a death grip on her shoulder. She was wondering who was it, but she might get the answer by seeing other's horrified face in front of her.

"You can't die, yes? That's mean I can beat the crap of you right?" Torn's grim voice echoed in Elyce's ears. She might be strong, if she had purpose. She had no purpose now..

"Overkill!"

(End of Flashback)

"…" Ren could only sigh at the sight. The albino somehow had a grim expression on his face too.

"Ren.. is your name, right?" Ren turned to the girl who was calling him, Selena. The Angel or Archangel, since she's been discovered, looked at him with a sanguine face. Ren stared silently at her and then he nodded.

"Are you really as strong as the legend said?" She asked, again with a sanguine face. Ren's face grimed again.

"You have to answer that yourself. And don't … involved with us in this life" the Albino spat out. Selena gave a questioned look. She did not understand the last part of his sentence.

"What do you mean?" Selena asked again. Hoping she will get an answer. But she did not. Ren walked away from her to where Elyce lay down wounded as her wound recovered slowly. He put the box near her and walked away to the exit. Before he left, he stared at Selena who now was clinging on Zeta and Zeta that also stared at him. And so, after that, he left.

"A-amy.. calm down now. Should we go back now? You don't have to worry about the blood" Lire said to the pink haired girl who now was mumbling something about vampire, and stuff.

"No! I can't calm down. As a starlet, I still lack of this stuff! I can't believe I met a vampire. A real vampire! I have to collect information about this!" Amy said to herself, muttering about her job as a Starlet. And the ones that tried to calm her down, gloomed because they thought she was panicked about being eaten by a vampire not that problem.

"say.. at least everything goes well" Ronan said to Elesis.

"Well? What are you going to do with them? Oh.. that white haired man sure is an arrogant one. She lost to Torn .. prove she's quite weak for a vampire.." Elesis responded with her hands on her waist.

"Elesis, don't say that. Someone's power can't be judge by one fight" Ronan said as Elesis frowned when Lass's sullen voice suddenly called his name.

"Hey~ Ronan, Knight Master calls you, to the meeting room. You too Sir Sieghart" He said as he walked pass the door. The Prime Knight turned to the door when his name was called with some mumbling.

"Uh.. I'll go first, okay Elesis?" Ronan said a good bye to her which only received by a shrug.

"Do you think I want to be with you? J-just go away" Elesis threw away her face from him. Ronan could only chuckle under his breath as he followed Sieghart out of the messy room. When they arrived at the door to the meeting room, Ronan held the knob and pushed it inside followed by Sieghart.

"You have arrived, Ronan, Sieghart" As they walked in, they were welcomed by the gentle smile of Knight Master and cold icy stare from the violet orbs. Violet? Isn't it was white a while ago?

"I have something to talk about.." The owner of the violet eyes said, stood beside Knight Master, waiting for their respond.
