After about an hour, the group had finally arrived at a winding dirt trail leading to the tower. Ford had expected to see a beautiful new landscape, but instead was turned off by the site of a giant wall in the distance.

In front of that wall, was the tower, which to everyone's shock, was shorter than the wall itself, leaving a giant mess of moss right behind the tower. The tower itself, however, could only be described as pure beauty.

In the distance, the group could spot a pristine stone staircase with nice shrubbery all around it leading up to the entrance, which that in itself was a neat archway with cathedral style architecture.

Actually, the entire tower was a neat cathedral architecture. Of course, there weren't any crosses, or signs of the tower being connected to Catholic or Christian religion. The tower had just "looked cool" according to Ford.

Anyway, the Arias Faction members would all make their way to the tower, however about halfway through their trip, there was an unexpected occurrence. An arrow had pierced Ford right in the chest.

"AHHHHGGGGGHHHH"

Ford would cry in pain for a few seconds before drifting off into death. The group, had tried everything they could to help Ford, but couldn't.

Just then, instead of drifting off into death, however, the wound was healed. Ford could only assume it was Rae who helped him, but he hasn't ever actually come out to greet Ford.

He was probably still upset about the loss of his only true friend, Arias. Ford was as well, the love of his life, right after kissing her, passed away, and not in a peaceful manner, either.

Anyway, This is getting off topic. Ford had stood back up, and thanked the group for their efforts in trying to save him. He never blamed the group for Arias's death.

Just then, the one who had shot the arrow revealed herself. That's right, the one who shot the arrow was a woman. And by the way she presented herself, Ford could tell she was a younger woman, probably around the same age as Ford, so, twenty three.

Of course, the woman had a hood covering her face, so the group would immediately press her, and ask her a few questions, to know who exactly she was. She had just attacked Ford out of the blue, and for no apparent reason, either.

The group could only assume she was a heinous villain. But, that opinion would change as soon as the woman would reveal herself. She took off her hood, to reveal short green hair, and green eyes.

"Felma?" The group all said in unison. That's right, Felma had returned. When she saw Ford, she was surprised, well, more than surprised, she was terrified.

The blank look on Ford's face is enough to send shivers down someone's spine. The bandage over his left eye wasn't helping that matter either. He couldn't just take off the bandage though, because that would just be an empty socket.

An empty socket is way scarier than a bandage. The reason Felma shot Ford is because he resembled that of a Devoted Cult Leader. The all black outfit he had on wasn't helping that either.

Felma would freak out tremendously, after she saw she had shot Ford. Of course, she wasn't to blame, it was Ford. But that didn't matter to her, she shot him. She considered him a friend, yet she shot him straight in the chest.

Ford, being the optimistic person he is, he would laught it off, as he said-

"That could've killed me... Thankfully I had Rae with me! What's up, Felma? What brings you out here?"

Ford had put on an obviously fake persona when he said that, but no one chose to mention it. They were all terrified of him, after all.

Felma had chose not to answer the question, which had confused Ford, but he didn't want to confront her about her, as it would make him seem insensitive.

Anyway, that was the interaction the group had with Felma, right before heading to the tower.
