The headmisstres entered her office to start her workday , when the woman approached the desk she saw a white envelope with runes written on it that disappeared when she toched it .

" A protecttion spell " she thought as she opened the package and read the note it contained .

" Mrs Faragonda , as we agreed giving you the list of suspects , Mr Saladyn has been informed of your mission and will contact you as soon as possible .

Thank for your cooperation and remember the fate of the dimension could be at risk .

After being read the note disintegrated leaving only ashes but thanks to a spell on it the names the list were recorded in the headmistress mind . Among the names were Tecna and Musa which left the woman in shock until her crystal ball began to shine and speak with Saladyn's voice while the image of the man was reflected in the sphere .

" Headmisstress Farangonda I suppose you know why I contact you " the red fountain headmaster said solemny " . " The agents have told you to help me with suspects right ? I tought you where neutral about this after the war " the headmisstres asked to Saladyn with some caution . " My neutrality dosen't mean that I don't care about proctecting the dimension especially after Darkar , the civilian population is still worried that him might return " the veteran responded angrily " that's what I let you " take care " of the boy , a pity by the way . So if you need everything just ask me " the headmaster was about to hang up when Faragonda interrupted him . " Actually I need some help , send a group of your specialists to Zenith to investigate Tecna and her family , the girl should be at home after her expulsion " . " okay Mrs Faragonda I will transmit you the information as soon as I have it , goodbye".

After the conversation , the headmisstress sad down at her desk pensive , aware that the situation wouldn't end well .

- In the woods -

Flora ran through the forest to the clearing , she was still afraid of what she had done and knew that the hunter was the only able to explain to her what had happened.

" Blade get out of the woods , I know you're here!" she cried , as the young hunter came out of the trees with a mocking smile " I knew you'd come back , they always do , let me guess you killed some little animal and you're trying to blame me by saying I cursed you , rigth ? " . Flora was paralyzed when she heard how the hunter had predicted her intentions . " Silence only gives you away, let me ask you a question , you enjoyed it , didn't you?" .

" it was an accident , I dind't want ..." Flora managed to say .

" I'm not asking you if it was an accident or not , I'm asking if you enjoyed it " .

" I dind't want ..." Flora was about to cry.

" Did you enjoy it or no ?".

" Yes " Flora said with tears on her eyes .

On hearing that, Blade showed a big smile on his face, finally after so many years he would have an apprentice again.

- Inside the Kavuc tunnels -

Tecna opened her eyes slowly, remembering vaguely what had happened and feeling a strong headache , looking around she realized that she was in a bed in the middle of a small and dirty room .

Suddenly she remembered that her arm had been practically amputated and couldn`t avoid screaming when she saw that it had been replaced by a mechanical prosthesis , seemed perfectly functional and after examining it he realized that he could make a strange purple gem come out of the palm .

When the headache passed , the girl got up to investigate the room , there was not much else besides the bed , several pieces of furniture in poor condition and a table with a paper note that caught her attention .

" Your highness , when you have fully recovered please meet me in lab 103( leave the room and follow the corridor to the right )

Signed : A.X0.23 ."

After meditating for a few minutes, Tecna decided to follow the directions and left the room, a long corridor appeared before her eyes.

As she walked down it, she realized that the walls were marked with strange symbols, some were simply runes of light but she was unable to recognize most of them.

After ten minutes he arrived at a large door with a sign that said "laboratory 103" .

" I have nothing less to lose " She thought before opening the door .
