As Prince Ayn, Mieu, Wren, Darren and Sari crossed through the Chalst Province and the Bernink Province and using the stone that Lyle had given them to open another passageway, the party finally made it to the Stalden Province.
"I remember it well, now. We have to get to Techna before we can get to Satellite." Sari said. Ayn was confused.
"I don't remember Techna. What is it?" the prince asked. Sari cleared her throat.
"Techna is the Castle of Power, where there is a vehicle that can take us to Satellite. But... I can't, for the life of me, remember how to get to Techna!" she replied.
"There should be towns nearby. We could get some information there." Mieu said, but Ayn looked doubtful.
"What is it with you and your obsession with peasants?" the prince asked sternly. Wren glared fiercely at him, and that was enough to stop the prince saying any more.
"OK, so I think Ayn's lost his marbles. He thinks local people are peasants." Darren whispered to Wren, but Ayn had heard him.
"I'm sorry. It's just that... oh, never mind. Let's find some locals and get some info." the prince said, leading the party to a town he had spotted in the distance - the town of Enzia. When they were inside the boundary of the town, though, it was completely empty, apart from one young girl.
"Someone's left their child here!" Mieu said. She pushed Ayn in the girl's direction. The prince ran over to her and knelt down in front of her.
"Are you lost?" Ayn asked. To his surprise, the girl began to sob.
"You're Prince Ayn, aren't you? I was following this man, but he was running too fast for me to keep up." the girl wept, resting her tear-soaked face on the prince's shoulder.
"There, there, little one. Now, which province do you come from?"
"The Chalst Province, from the village of Vindita."
"And this man you were following... what did he look like?" The girl replied with a vivid description of the man she had followed - green ponytailed hair, vest and pants, a big cloak and carrying a staff. Ayn gasped. The girl had been following Lyle!
"That was my friend Lyle you were following! Tell me, which way did he go?" Ayn asked.
"He went up to the town of Endora, but I'm not sure if he's still there." the girl replied.
"You should go back to your village. The other villagers could be worried sick about you!"
"I want to come with you, Prince."
"I can't. If your parents saw that you had got hurt, I'd have to do a lot of explaining. Just go back to your village, please. Look, I'll even let someone escort you back." Ayn asked the party who would escort the girl back to Vindita. Mieu volunteered to go.
"OK, little one. Mieu will take you back." Ayn said to the girl. He told Mieu that he and the rest of the party would be waiting for her in Endora. With that, Mieu escorted the girl back to Vindita, and Ayn and the rest of the party trudged to Endora. But, on their way there, several huge cyborgs sprang out of the bushes and ambushed them!
"Not a problem! My father taught me a technique that makes mincemeat of cyborgs - the Zan Technique!" Ayn said, holding out his hand. The Zan Technique is grouped with the attack techniques, and causes bolts of lightning to rain down from the sky and hit enemies. It harms everything within 30 feet of the caster. It is also a simple-to-learn technique, which had meant that Ayn could learn it within a week. the prince muttered a few words under his breath, and sparks flew from his outstretched hand. Lightning bolts struck the area, hitting the cyborgs and frying their circuits. They fell to the ground, smashing into pieces as they did so.
More cyborgs attacked them on the way, but Ayn was much too quick with the Zan Technique, and they all fell. Just as another group of cyborgs came at them, they seemed to have seen the huge pile of broken cyborgs, as they didn't attack the party at all. Eventually, Ayn and the party were able to make it to Endora, but Mieu was waiting for them!
"What took you so long?" she asked. Ayn cleared his throat.
"We got ambushed by cyborgs and we were forced to fight them. Sorry for the delay." the prince replied. Mieu them told them that she had found out how to get to Techna. They had to go down Dragon Spine Cape, which was located half a mile from Endora.
"Great! We can go now!" Ayn said excitedly, leading the party out of the town.
