“Now, your turn” The Baron said to Kit then the feeling of the warm of skin on his arm suddenly disappeared then he looks at his hand, the body of El is suddenly turn into a snow and melts away into the ground. This angered the Baron more and kicks Kit away flinging him across the cave breaking the chairs and table along the way. “Where the fuck are you” The baron said as his eyes burns with frustration but as he moves away, a Warhammer hit his head, decapitated by Mili’s fury. “NOW EL! Cough* cough*” Kit shouted. Suddenly lights emerging at the entrance of the cavern room, Mili can see parchments dissipating into a golden dust and behind it El waving his wand saying something but she can’t hear it due to adrenalin coursing through her body, then out of blue a couple of magic circles appears and a bright light shone hurling toward her yet it does not hurt her, however the body of the Baron burned to ashes.

“That was quick, is he dead? I mean dead dead?” Mili said. “Shhh! don’t jinx it!” Kit replied. “But I think he’s dead” he added. “Kit’s right I think it’s dead as well” El said after he reaches the two standing at the ashes below them. “That was easy? He is a vampire right?” Kit asked. “You’re right he is a vampire and it’s too easy” El replied. “Easy? That was easy to both of you?” Mili said. “Were not injured badly but we could be dead right now” she added. “Chill woman, I mean you’re right but that was TOO easy for a vampire battle, I mean we prepared but I can’t shake my anxiety” Kit replied. “I agree with Kit, but maybe because of the adrenaline that’s why we are still anxious” El suggested. “Well I guess your right we win, right?” Mili replied “And this great Warhammer is now mine” she added. “Let’s get out of this hell hole then” Kit said. “Quest complete!” he joyfully added. The two nods and their group of three proceeds to the exit leaving a now barren cavern filled with the ashes remains of the vampire. “I still can believe we won that easy” Mili said. “Are you not content with your vengeance or you just wish we had more injury?” Kit replied. “It’s too quick I don’t feel anything” Mili said. “That’s vengeance for you, no happiness at the end just hate and then emptiness, at least you have new Warhammer though” Kit said. “Wise word, I didn’t think it will come out of your mouth though” Mili replied. “Why? First time hearing one, barbarian” Kit countered. “Ok you two just stop arguing, can we just please get out of this mine quietly” El said. “Oh look! Looks like the thrall are awake” he added pointing at the shadows at the entrance. “Should we prepare?” Mili said. “I agree with her, this time only.” Kit added. “Thralls become free of the influence of the vampire once its master is dead” El casually explains. “OH” the two replied.

As the three reaches the entrance of the cave, they are greeted by the cold breeze of the midnight and pleura of well-equipped individuals waiting with their lit torches illuminating the surrounding area. “Good day to y’all” one of the individual said who look like the leader of the group. “Who the hell are you?” Kit retorted. “They don’t look like the thralls to me” he said to both El and Mili. “Thralls? You mean the sleeping ones? No we’re not” the leader replied. “Like the bastard said who are then?” Mili asked. “Bastard?!” Kit snapped. “We’re here for the young master, young master Towers your father requires your audience” the leader said ignoring Kit. The two boys flinches, Kit look at El in the eyes questioning him but let go of a sigh, then he shouts. “Mili knock them out!” All of them was surprise at Kit shout and all eyes fall to Kit whereas Mili look at El. El starts to wave his wand, seeing this Mili quickly attacks knocking out at least three people already, conversely El already casted his spell not giving the other people to react. The remaining strangers suddenly lost consciousness falling to the ground. “Now RUN!!” Kit shouted again. The three rapidly moves their feet towards the town not looking what left behind them. “What in Gods name was that?” Mili said while still running. “I’ll explain later at the tavern” El quickly replied. “Right now just run” Kit added.

They reach their destination The Thistle and Thyme tavern, Mili quickly opens the door where he meets his brother still sweeping the tavern floor. “You guys back!” Cyfern said. “Yes we are we defeated the bastard but first you two need to explain what the hell was that” Mili replied but quickly question the two. “What do you mean?” Kit sarcastically said. “Enough Kit, I will explain.” El said. “Where do I begin?” he then asked. “Young master? What was that?” Mili asked. “I am the second son of Lord Towers, and I run away to find something” El quickly replied. “Lord Towers?!” Mili and Cyfern shouted. “Run Away! You did not tell me that, that’s why they’re here right?!” Kit said. “He doesn’t know?” Mili said. “No I know just for dramatic effect” Kit responded. “Shut up!” the three shouted. “So, in short, you run away with this bastard to find something and now your father the Lord Towers send a group of mercenary to find you, a bit excessive but I get it you’re a noble, but what are you looking for and why Riverspring?” Mili said. “I can’t tell you what I’m looking but we only go here in Riverspring is because we are just reorganizing” El said. “And thank you but we are leaving now, right El?” Kit said urging El. “So where are you going now?” Cyfern asked. “Ashviel I guess” El said. “But the road to Ashviel is dangerous right? and now there’s a mercenary that are following you” Cyfern said. “You’re right but we have no choice we must go” El said. “Why doesn’t my sister go with you?” Cyfern said. “What?!” Mili and Kit yelled. “What are you talking about Cyfern?” Mili added. “Doesn’t sister want to explore the world; you always said when we are younger that you want to see beyond the plains” Cyfern said grabbing his sister hands. “Yes but that’s when we are younger plus I need to take care of you?” Mili replied. “Sister, I can do It, I’m old enough, and do what you want now” Cyfern said. “Plus you are great addition to their team right?” he added. “Your right, Mili is indeed great she is strong and reliable but your sister must decide on her own” El said making Mili blushes she never heard before that she being strong as a compliment from a guy before. “If my brother is fine then if you allow me I’ll help you find whatever you are finding” Mili said to El. “Then welcome to the team, Mili” El said holding his hand towards Mili in which she quickly shake. “Mmm but no one asked me I if I’m ok with it” Kit joking said. “Oh shut up” Mili said giving her hand to Kit. “Welcome to the team then hahahah” Kit said shaking Mili hand. “Well then go get you things and let’s go quick” he added.
