Saito was preparing for his little journey that his sort of ancestor Sasha gave him a cryptic as hell message.

"Look to the Palace of the Holy to reach enlightenment… that could freaking me anything, Derf, you were her sword once, any idea what she means?" He asked while his sword was sitting in a chair while he was changing into a different set of clothes but they were exactly the same as before.

"Your guess is as good as mine Partner." Derf said as Saito put a white shirt on followed by a vest of chainmail and then his royal clothing which was basically his Earth clothes with a black and white chevalier cloak on but this one unlike the other had a hood on it to prevent his face from being seen.

"It's just the last part, enlightenment, what could that possibly mean…" Saito reached for his sword and held onto it. "Oh well, no point in wondering if I can't figure it out." Saito finished talking as he made his way to the courtyard and his personal jet which has still stood the test of time and worked from his knowledge. He jumped onto the wing and opened the window and placed Derf in the backseat and hoped into the cockpit and proceeded to start-up the sequence.

"Partner, I have a theory, maybe this is a test of sort for you."

"Only that girl would know, all that matters is that we find out about it before anyone else does." And with that, Saito began the ignition and took off in his plane to parts somewhat unknown. As he flew through the air he breathed, the thought of his people and more importantly his family's safety entered his mind but it left very quickly being reassured since Henrietta and Imrahil were on the scene and he could ask for anyone else to deal with it. Suddenly, realization his him as he face palmed himself. "I forgot to tell Marie goodbye, I'm a freaking idiot."

"Irresponsible father." Derf got in his little say on the matter and Saito just ignored him.

Despite the relationships between Tristain and Romalia (A/N It took me 9 freaking chapters to realize I was still spelling Romalia wrong) being everything but dreadful, Saito believed it was in his best interest to not push his luck with flying in foreign airspace since he was not on a diplomatic trip. Landing ten minutes away from the capital itself, Saito pulled up his hood and strapped his sword onto his back and proceeded to the capital itself which from his basic knowledge of geography from his home world, resembled some place from Italy… or was it Vatican City, he would never know. Enter said capital through the main gate. He realized that the people in the capital were doing somewhat well for themselves. Poverty was seen on every street he passed and others he saw wealthy stalls competing with others to gain a profit.

"Poor people, I feel sorry for them, I wish I could help them." Saito thought in his mind which he did not get a response for obvious reasons.

"Too bad that you don't rule them." Saito jumped from the voice in his head as it was his sword talking.

"How in the hell are you talking to me in my head!?"

"It seems that Sasha gave you more abilities then just the elemental ones. I think this is only a trait you and I can do since I have a little void power in me."

"If that is the case… Do you think we could listen in on the Pope and Julio?"

"Possible, although I would only do so after we finish our reason for being here." Derf advised his owner who nodded and the two proceeded to the main church of the city. This sucker put all religious building to shame as Saito gave a whistle of amazement of how freaking huge it was. Probably the most interesting piece of the build was the sphere dome on the top of it which appeared to be made out of gold. The entrance had four pillars which resembled Roman ones from Earth and people were entering the building through the two middle columns.

"Head towards the back of the building to see if there is a back entrance." Derf directed but Saito was already moving in the direction.

"You have no faith in me do you?" Saito asked walking in left sidewalk of the building when he noticed a marking on the building. "You see that?"

"See what Partner?" Derf asked wondering if his owner was finally going crazy from the life of royalty. Despite such a claim, Saito was seeing footsteps of what appeared to be a ghostly image of Sasha. She appeared to jump up onto a separate part of the building which seemed to be a floor high. Saito, the ever curious man he was waited until everyone was in the building to attempt a jump from the ground and to his shock, he jump up two stories his and landed in on all four.

"Damn, that was pretty cool!" Saito said amazed by the jump. "I guess she gave me more than just those abilities after all, I think this will be an interesting journey discovering these new skills." Saito said as he continued his jumped into he reached the image of Sasha who was standing in front of the divide of the doom and walls. In front of the ghost were the marking he saw. She placed her left hand on it but nothing happened. "I wonder…" Saito said walking over to the wall and slowly moved his left hand and placed it on the marking. Suddenly, a rush of information hit the man as his brain was killing him. The information that was entering his mind was off the actions of the previous Popes of the country and the actions they took in the face of several matters, most of which resulted in violence. The most important thing he got from it was another quote. "I…"

"Partner?"

"Derf, I need to know what is going on inside this building." Saito said not waiting for an answer from his sword as he climbed up the dome until he reached the top which, to his relief had a circular open top which showed the whole scene. The Pope was behind an altar with his familiar to his right and in front of him appears to be a hell of a lot of people. "Damn, the guy sure does know how to get people to show up." And at that sentence, a fireball barely hit the boy wonder from the interior of the building.

"Assassin!" A royal knight shouted as everyone looked up and Saito looked down at them and a moment of silence filled the air. That silence was quickly destroyed as about two dozen fireballs were launched at the Gandalfr who jumped back and slid down the dome.

"This seems like a moment from a video game I've played before, except this time with magic!" Saito said jumping of the building and by some grace of luck was a bale of hay where he landed which broke his fall. The hooded marvel hopped out and right before his stood a lot of royal guards and from the looks of it, they looked pissed. "Ugh… can we talk about this?" Saito asked with his hood still on to prevent his identity from being seen. He question was answered by the guards before his lowering there what appeared to be halberds at the man and slowly stepped closer to him which caused his to lose space to run to. "Fine, but you'll have to catch me first!" The hooded swordsmen said dashing off the left where he saw much lighter armored warriors running in his direction. Saito took his right foot and turned it to the left and transferred his forward motion and ran to the alley way where he began jumping up box after box until he reached the rooftops. Getting his barring, he dodged a shoot of lightning which he responded with a shock of his own but the utter power of the spell pushed him back which resulted on hitting the target at his feet.

"You need help with aiming don't you?"

"Not know Derf!" Saito told his sword as the lighter men were climbing up to the roofs where the mn was. Saito then began to run but his stamina was beginning to run low and he did not want to use his runes because if someone who knew him saw them, it could cause much worse problems then being caught. Still, the boy jumped from rooftop to rooftop. "Shit, the roofs are coming to an end they aren't letting up." He knew it was going to come down to two things, either a leap of faith or a fight which could reveal his identify. "Damn it, here goes nothing!" Saito shouted in his mind as he jumped forward and turned his body so his back would land on whatever he was going to land on. What happened was nothing short of a miracle was Saito landed in another bale of freaking hay. Saito moved the hay out of his eyes but remained still otherwise to see if the guards bought the attempted suicide.

"Search the area, no one enters or leaves the city until we find this assassin!" A Captain shouted as his men responded to his orders.

"This is going to harder than I thought Derf."

"At least you are comfortable right now." His sword said as the two chuckled knowing that the day has just begun and the operation was going to be much harder to complete.

"I think Henrietta is going to have to wait a little longer."

Author's Notes – I think we all know where the inspiration for this chapter came from. If not, I will be very much surprised. Happy Thanksgiving, even though I don't celebrate it along with Valentine's Day but nonetheless.

Seriously though, I couldn't resist doing what I did in this chapter, We are basically in Rome and Vatican City as one (Isn't that what it is in real life?) so I had to do it, it's one of my favorite game on the Xbox 360.
