After a few minutes walk we reach a restaurant in the city.

The board outside the shop read “Pazazu’s kitchen.”

“What an odd name.” Mei said.

“People have wings in this world. What’s odder than having wings or weird names?” I said.

“Jeez, Most of the species have wings! Alright!” Mei said.

“Sure.” I said in mocking way.

“Let’s go in. I’m hungry.” Dymnix said.

“Yeah.” I said, and we went in.

It had somewhat Two or Three people in it eating.

The waitress comes for the order.

She was from the humanoid species with cat ears.

“Welcome! What would you like me order?” She asked from us.

“Whatever is the best available today.” I said.

While Dymnix started flirting with her.

“Oh my! What a gorgeous lady you are! We can talk after I’m done eating, my dear. So, bring anything you like!” Dymnix said in flirty way to her.

“Awe, you are so kind sir! I’ll bring the best thing right away!” She said and left.

Mei and Alec look at him with cringe face.

“You guys will get over that.” I said to Alec and Mei.

“What happened?” Dymnix asked.

“Out of a thousand things I hate about you, this is the worst of all.” I said to Dymnix.

“Ehh? Asking questions?” Dymnix asked.

“No, youre flirting you cheeky bastard.” I said to Dymnix.

“Ahahaha, it’s an art bro. An art of being-" Dymnix speaking, but I started speaking.

“Art of being a F boy.” I said with a straight face.

“What that means?” Mei asked.

“You are way too yo-" Dymnix was again speaking, but I again started talking.

“A guy who plays with a lady's feelings.” I said.

Dymnix makes whimper face.

“Really!?!” Mei replied in shock.

“Yeah.” I said.

Dymnix's whimper increases.

“Sounds disgusting to me.” Alec said.

Dymnix just put his head to table in whimper.

“The food is here sir!” The waitress said bringing the food.

Dymnix wakes up in happiness and says, “Oh! My princess you brought us food! That’s so kind of you!”

“Yes! Sir! It's my favorite.” She said.

The food looked tasty so, we digged in. I don’t know what it was, but it was edible.

“How is the food sir?” She asked.

“It's good.” I said.

“OH MY!! THIS FOOD!! IT'S ABSOLUTELY A PIECE OF ART!” Dymnix shouted.

“Over reacting at it’s peak.” I muttered to Alec and Mei.

“His over reacting is far better than yours though.” Alec said to me.

“I don’t deceive people on a daily basis you know.” I said with a chuckle.

“Awe! I’m happy that you liked it sir.” The waitress replied.

“Oh You are Goddess. Tell me your good name, my dear.” Dymnix said.

“It's Maria.” She replied.

“Oh goddess marry me! We will have thirty-three children!” Dymnix said while sitting on his one knee and purposing her.

“He’s taking far now. Pretend we don’t know him.” I said to Alec and Mei.

“I’m already married though.” Maria replied.

Dymnix goes in corner with a whimper.

“BAHAHAHAHAH!!! I’M DEAD!! AHAHAHAH!!” I started laughing loudly.

“What’s with you Seji?” Alec asked.

“He got trolled!!! Ahhaahahahaha that’s what he gets for flirting with a married woman.” I said to Alec.

“Hehehe" Mei controls her laughter by putting her hand on face.

“Anyway eat.” Alec said.

We eat and Dymnix comes and eat with us.

After a few minutes, we have finished eating.

“The food was great!” Mei said.

“Yea it was.” I replied.

We paid the restaurant and came out.

“So, is there an Inn nearby? We need to spend a night.” I said to Dymnix.

“Stay at union guild bro. And for mean time I’m staying there too. It will be easier to talk there.” Dymnix said.

We head to union guild and enter the guild.

“Hey Erika. We want to stay in union guild for a night. No problems right?” I asked her.

“None, a little fee, and you are good to go.” She replied.

“That’s awesome. I’ll pay up.” I said.

“A 100 Rugen per person please.” Erika said.

“That’s somewhat cheap I guess. Since food cost us 700 already.” I said and payed her the money for the stay.

“You are good to go in the rooms above!” Erika said.

Upon a closer look, union guild just looks like the one in Royal Capital. Maybe all union guilds look same.

“Let’s go to a room, Dymnix.” I said, and we went above in one of rooms.

Alec puts bag in a corner.

We all are sitting on chairs.

“You first, what you know about this world. Actually tell me everything from the start. How you wake up here etc.” I said to Dymnix.

“When I was in our world, I got a little scratch during daily jogging.” Dymnix said.

“I didn’t ask you about jogging though.” I replied with a hopeless face.

“Listen, it has to do with my story. I can assure you that much.” Dymnix said.

“A-Alright. Continue.” I said.

“I ignored the scratch and put up bandage and went in my bed. It was a Sunday. Then I remembered, Anire online was getting shut down that day. So, I went inside the game as it was going to shut down in 30minutes. 29minutes and 50 seconds pass by. The last 10-second count down was going on, but something weird happened. While I was playing in those 29 minutes, my wound, I got from jogging was hurting. I ignored it. Last 3-second goes by. Shutting down message came and after that was written: Wear off the Headset and travel to another world! Anire online is just starting.” Dymnix said.

“That came written!?!” I said in shock.

“Yea, as weird it sounds. It did, I thought it was a hoax. And that’s not all. When I wore off my game set from head, My little scratch from hand was leaking too much blood. And that blood wasn’t staying still. It started making up magic circle. Large magic circle on the floor. I got confused as hell. The magic circle started shining in bright red. The light engulfed my body and I came here. Not that I came conscious. When I woke up, I was in this city. At the back of some houses. I got confused, tried to stand up, noticed my wound was fixed. But, I guess My luck is bad here. When I woke up I saw kids throwing rocks at me. I tried to ask them where is this place, but they just ran away. One was standing, he wasn’t afraid. I asked him that what is this world and told him I’m from different world. The kid got confused, and went away laughing and shouting that what a lunatic I am. But, I guess. I should have expected that.” Dymnix explained.

“What happened after that?” I asked.

“I stood up, my body felt cramped and in pain. I started walking. I guess, being an otaku helped me this time. Noticed this wasn’t our world. So, I started walking but collapsed. When I woke up again, I was in someone's house. A voice asked me If I had woken up. I replied yes. It was an old man. A good old man. He gave me breakfast and told me much about this world.” Dymnix said.

“What did he tell?” I asked.

“After I had eaten breakfast, I tried to stand up and walk outside. He said come sit here on chair, I went and sat there.” Dymnix said.

Flashback of Dymnix's memories.

“Ahh, you can walk now. Come sit here.” The old man said.

“Thanks old man. I’m grateful you saved me. Can I ask who you are? And what this place is?” Dymnix asked.

“It's fine. Don’t need to thank me. My name is Gallus Caellestius.” The old man said.

“I see. Old man Gallus. Thank you, for saving me.” Dymnix said being grateful.

“You asked about this world? Have you lost your memory?” Gallus asks Dymnix.

“That won't be correct actually. I’m from another world. And I don’t know how I got here.” Dymnix said.

“I see. What was your name again?” Gallus asked.

“I’m Noah Crayton. Also known as Dymnix.” Dymnix said.

“I see. Dymnix, that’s a good name, I guess.” Gallus said.

“You aren’t going to laugh or anything?” Dymnix asked.

Gallus stood up and went near window.

“Laughing will not prove your point wrong.” Gallus started coughing.

“True, but don’t you have someone living with you?” Dymnix asked.

“My son left home. My daughter died at a young age. And my wife passed away at around same time as my daughter.” Old man Gallus said.

“I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to hurt you.” Dymnix apologized.

“It's fin-*cough cough cough*” Gallus started coughing.”

“You alright, old man?” Dymnix said and rushed to old man to his aid.

“Yeah, *cough-cough* I guess, I over did it myself back there. But, anyway-" Gallus was speaking.

“Come sit here, old man.” Dymnix said and took Gallus to sit down.

“Maybe he’s tired from picking and dragging my body here.” Dymnix though in his head.

“I’ll tell you what I know. This world have Magic, Guilds, most stuff is done by magic...” Gallus said and explained stuff to Dymnix.

Back to present time.

“That’s pretty much same knowledge I have of this world.” I said.

“Yea, wait story isn’t complete. After that, he asked me do I know to use magic. I answered no. And he said that he would teach me basics if I help him in that day’s work. I agreed. He had a little workshop. He was a carpenter. At the same night, he taught me how to use magic etc. From using magic on blades and weapons to pure magic. He taught me. I am just assuming, but for a carpenter he had quite a lot of magic. On second day, he helped me get adventurer card. I told union guild the story of our world and many stories from our world. Rumors started to spread out about me. I was just class D adventurer when I first joined. I helped Old Man Gallus in my free time and other time I did quest. I attracted girls, they started following me, so we went to monster hunting together, and they taught me more stuff about magic etc. But just two days ago something bad happened.” Dymnix said and continued.

“For a carpenter his Magic was strong. I could feel the immense power. So out of curiosity I asked. He replied celestial magic. I asked what’s that, but he didn’t tell me.” Dymnix said.

Flashback of Dymnix's memories

“I guess, my time is near. But I’m going to tell you something. I’m going to trust you. I don’t know if this is right thing to do or not. But, listen carefully from here on.” Gallus said.

“What is it? Old man?” Dymnix asked.

“Get me the box from over there.” Gallus ordered Dymnix.

“A-Alright.” Dymnix replied and got box which was sitting below the closet.

“Open it up.” Gallus said.

The box had two short blades in it.

“What are these?” Dymnix asked.

“These are the Blades which can severe time.” Old man Gallus said.

“What does that even means?” Dymnix asked.

“These are blades which have been passed down to us in our family.” Old man said.

“I see. But, why are you telling me now?” Dymnix asked.

“It’s complicated, but never let go of these. Take care of these always. Pass these onto your next generations... I’m trusting you, Dymnix. Never let anyone get hands on these. Once you learn to use them, never let anyone take them...” Old man Gallus said and passed away.

Dymnix was confused and crying.

Back to present.

“I buried him in the cemetery and took the blades as he told me. I used them, they were easy to handle. I learned how to use them, it didn’t take much. They work on their own. I just have to make sure opponent is in the range. Only disadvantage of these blades are that they take cool down. After 10 seconds for 10seconds.“ Dymnix said.

“I see. He was a mysterious old man. You ever saw his adventurer card?” I asked Dymnix.

“None.” Dymnix said.

“I see.” I replied.

“I’m sorry for the loss.” Mei said.

“It’s fine.” Dymnix said.

“Did that help you? Seji?” Alec asks.

“Just got to know a new term, Celestial Magic.” I replied.

“I see. Your turn now.” Dymnix said to me.

“I’ll tell, but take care of the blades, Dymnix.” I said and started telling him story.

“Unlike you, I got into a car accident and when I woke up I was here and...” I started telling story. From starting to present.

“And now I’m here.” I said, finishing story.

“And you said you had good luck in this world.” Dymnix said.

“I guess so.” I said.

“I will join other guild. I guess,” Dymnix said.

“Let’s go sleep now.” Mei said.

“Yeah, thank you for the time Dymnix.” Alec said to Dymnix.

“Oh yeah, by the way I forgot to tell you a thing. After I went back to back streets where I woke up. The back street were in ruins. But, I guess they were going to make houses there? I don’t know. Good night.” Dymnix said and went to his room.

“Is he saying truth?” Alec asked me.

“Conflicted as much I feel towards him, don't think he will lie this time.” I said.

“Good night, you guys can fill Master in yourself.” Mei said and went to sleep.

“Fine Miss royalty, go sleep.” I said.

“Good night Mei.” Alec said.

“I’m tired to tell master. Let’s just tell him tomorrow in guild.” I said.

“Good night then.” Alec said, and we went to sleep.

NEXT MORNING:

The sun have risen up. I wake up.

“I’ll wake them up after I’m finished taking bath.” I said to myself.

I had to wear same cloths, since my jacket was torn from arm.

“Sucks. I’ll get this fixed from tailor.” I said to myself and went to take bath.

A few minutes pass by, I was coming out of bathtub that door opened!! I forgot to lock the door!

It’s Mei!!

“Morning, Seji.” Mei said.

“Mmm-Mor-ni-ings...” I said while stuttering! My face went blank!

“Mor-AAAAA!!! I’M SORRY!!” Mei shouted and ran outside, and shut the bathroom door.

“I didn’t saw anything!!” Mei said.

“Huh!? Why are you guys shouting in the morning.” Alec said while standing up and rubbing his eyes.

“Sucks...” I said to myself in whimper.

I started wearing my cloths and came out.

“Nothing happened! Alec! I didn’t walk in while Seji was taking bath.” Mei explained to Alec worriedly.

“Nothing happened...” I said in whimper.

“Why you look down then?” Alec asked me.

“It’s nothing... let’s head back, go take bath Alec.” I said to Alec.

“I didn’t see anything.” Mei said worriedly.

“Yea, this never happened. It was a bad dream.” I said in whimper.

“Yes! It never happened! Let’s wait Alec, then I’ll take bath, and then we can head back.” Mei said.

“No breakfast?” I asked.

“We can eat Serina's handmade instead!” Mei said in enthusiasm.

“Oh yeah, that will be better.” I said.

“I’m finished.” Alec said and came out of bathroom.

“That was fast.” I said to Alec.

“Sure.” Alec said.

“I go take bath too.” Mei said and took her cloths to bathroom with her.

“We are waiting for you downstairs.” I said to Mei.

I picked up the bag, and me and Alec went down.

Dymnix was sitting on the sofa surrounded with girls.

“Morning.” I said to everyone.

“Good morning.” Alec said.

“Good morning, Sir Seji and Sir Alec.” Erika said to us.

“Mornings, Seji.” Dymnix said.

“What’s up?” I asked Dymnix.

“Nothing much, just chatting with my strawberries.” Dymnix said.

“Yuck.” I said to Dymnix.

“Ready to go back?” Dymnix asked.

“Yeah.” I said.

“Let’s spar next time we meet.” Dymnix said.

“You can come back with us and join Elemental though.” I offered Dymnix.

“Ah your guild? I’ll pass. I have some guild in my mind to join.” Dymnix said.

“Oh which guild?” I asked.

“Scarlet Justice. They are the best in Galahaeim Kingdom." Dymnix said.

“I see. Good luck, I guess. But, A question. Will they take you in?” I asked Dymnix.

“Yeah, hopefully. I've heard they go recruiting very often. And are closely related to Galahaeim Military. I've heard that Scarlet Justice gives training to Military Mages. And many mages join Military from Scarlet Justice. Because of this, it gives them upper hand in mere man power. Their guild is supposed to have over a thousand people. But, only 30 are said to be in A class and upper.” Dymnix explained to me.

“I see. Good luck on that journey.” I said.

Mei comes downstairs, and says, “Let’s go.”

“Alright then, we are off. Thank you for everything, Erika and Dymnix. See ya!” I said and flew in Air.

“Buh bye!” Mei said.

“May we meet again.” Alec said.

We started flying and headed back in the direction of Royal capital.

“It didn’t help much did it?” Alec asked me.

“It did. I have a theory now. On how we got transported here.” I replied.

“And what might that be?” Mei asked.

“The way we got transported is different, but one thing is common, we both were in same game which was going to shut down. Someone is behind all this. I don’t know who. But, someone is. And this also confirmed that Reina might have transported too.” I explained to them.

“So what’s next?” Alec asked.

“What do we do? Find Reina? Or find the person who summoned you?” Mei asked me.

“Well, Looking for Reina comes first. She was with me in game. So, she must have transported too.” I said.

“We got a lead then.” Alec said.

“I have a question, Seji. What will you do if you find Reina..?” Mei asked in sort of sorrow.

“What you mean?” I asked.

“If you find her. What will you do next? Will you leave us?” Mei asked in sorrow.

“No, not really. A peaceful life is not in my fate, so, I’ll make her join Elemental too, and we can form a team. But, The real question right now is if she’s alive where is she? Or is she even alive? Considering how differently we got transported who knows in what condition she is?” I said.

“I see.” Mei said.

“And don’t worry, I have a job to look after you. So won’t leave you guys.” I said.

“Mhm" Alec said.

“Something is wrong Alec?” I asked.

“I wonder if Arkal is really training.” Alec said.

“Might be, or might not. Want to check on him?” I asked.

“Sure.” Alec said.

“Sounds good to me.” Mei replied.

“Let’s be fast then.” I said, and we boosted our speed.

A few minutes later.

“Seji. Look, there’s smoke up ahead.” Alec said.

“May be a forest fire?” I said.

“No, forest fire in this season? And middle of green forest?” Alec said.

“Who knows.” I said.

“Wait, Seji. That’s the village of Arkal.” Mei said.

“Wait what?!” I said in shock.

“Hurry!” Alec said and started rushing towards the village.

We rush behind him.

The village was in the middle of plains and surrounded by thin layer of trees, but at a right side or east direction a few miles away we could see the mountains.

We land in the village. People were running here and there!

“What happened here?” Mei asked a panicking villager.

“T-t-The Dragon! A dragon have gone mad!!” The villager said in panic!

“Let’s stop fire first.” I said and put my arm in the air straight up to sky.

Rain starts falling from the clear sky.

“Look for Arkal, Alec.” I ordered Alec and he started looking for Arkal.

“Mei! Help any civilians who are stuck and bring them here!” I ordered Mei.

“Alright!” She replied and went to help any civilians who were left out.

“This amount of Rain won’t cut it out. We are done for!! Gods are angry on us!” Villagers said while crying.

There was terror at every corner of village. People were crying for the lost houses, family members, and their valuables.

“Tch! If God existed in first place then you wouldn’t be facing such consequences. So shut up and get to safety! Right now!” I ordered them.

“FALL MORE!!” I shouted and rain starts falling heavily!!

They start getting up on their feet.

“Where did dragon came from in these plains!?! And any idea why?” I asked.

“No clue why it was here, but it came from the mountains in the left!” someone from crowd said

“Where is it now?” I asked.

“We don’t know. Not sure. But it will come again to kill us all.” Someone again shouted from crowd.

“Tch.” I said.

The flames were starting to come down! Slowly in a minute the fire was stopped.

“The fire is put out. NOW DON’T PANIC!! WE WILL PROTECT.YOU PEOPLE!” I shouted.

Crowd starts to gather up and whispers start to increase.

“I found him!” Alec said while running to me and carrying up Arkal.

“Where's his Grand parents?” I asked.

“I’m afraid, they are no more. I couldn’t find them there, except two bodies which were burnt and can’t even tell who they were.” Alec said in sorrow.

“Tch, I’ll contact guild and ask for reinforcements. Lay Arkal down here till then and start healing him Alec.” I said to Alec.

“On it." Alec replied.

Whispers started in the crowd.

“We have even lost our Chief... what will we do now...don’t worry, they will save us, my dear.” I can hear them. The whispers of the people in pain explaining to their children, and each other, The crying of children and people who lost something precious to them. This is complicated.

I take out the communication crystal and say the words to contact to Guild.

“Hey there, Seji.” Serina greeted me.

“Where’s Master?” I asked Serina.

“Master is in the meeting. They're having conversation with Prince Alfonzo for Niuinaire and Galahaeim relations in Castle.” Serina said.

“Serina! Emergency. Send reinforcements to Village Verona. And send extra help from royals for the village. It has been burnt down.” I said.

“I’ll contact any adventurer who is near you. And if not, I’ll send others to your location as soon as I can. Don’t worry, be safe.” Serina said.

“Alright, I’m waiting, thanks Serina. Let me remind you, only One time left to can contact you, after that I’m not sure.” I said to Serina.

“It’s alright. When an adventurer arrives, they will have a better crystal.” Serina said to me.

“Alright, I’ll be waiting.” I said to Serina.

“Alright, be safe.” Serina said and cut the call.

“Call the village doctor!! People who need treatment form another line till doctor appears.” I ordered the people.

“Who are you to order us?” A voice came from the crowd.

“Yeah, Where’s chief? Bring chief.” People started questioning us.

“Listen Carefully everyone!!, I know it sounds painful, but the chief is no more, we didn’t find his body. And please calm down. I need you all people to calm down first. Me and My friends are doing everything we can to help. I have already asked for reinforcements, they will be here in sometime.” I explained to them.

More and more whispers were starting. Arkal opens his eyes and looks at that.

“We have lost everything!!” someone shouted from the crowd and started crying out loudly.

Arkal suddenly stands up and sees everything. His eyes are teary.

“Arkal, you are awake.” I said.

“Don’t move much, you still have burnt leg.” Alec said.

Arkal stood up without listening to us and came ahead of me.

He said, “No you haven’t. What’s point in crying for something which is gone? My Grandparents died protecting me and as the grandson of the chief I order you all to follow lead of these guys here!! These guys protected us from Orcs!! Believe in them, believe in yourself. We will make it!”

“Arkal..” I said.

“Seji!!!” Mei said while running towards me carrying a girl.

“What is it, Mei?” I asked her.

“Everyone is here. Others are no more...” Mei said in sorrow.

“Where’s doctor?” I asked.

“Luckily I did find a doctor. But he have lost a leg. I’ll bring him next.” Mei said.

“Alec, Lend a hand to Mei please. I’ll try to send who’s alright out of village.” I said to Alec.

“Alright. Coming in a minute.” Alec said.

Mei laid the girl she was carrying and went with Alec.

“Alright now first. The people who can walk! Head to royal capital for the help.” I said to everyone.

“I can walk, but not sure if I’ll reach Royal capital.” Someone from crowd said.

“Don’t worry. Just go ahead, if you find a cart, get in a cart. If you see anyone heading this way, tell them right direction.” I said to the person.

“Alright then, I’m going.” The young man said and ran to Royal capital's direction.

“Others who can walk, head to royal capital slowly. Evacuate from this place fast!” I said.

Some people started running out of village, some were mourning on the losses.

Everything and everyone were in despair. That’s just wicked to kill innocents.

“You are strong, Arkal. Now tell me everything what happened.” I asked Arkal.

“It was normal morning like always. I went out to train with magic you told me. A big dragon was coming near village. Before I could know. The dragon burnt the whole village. I ran to check in our house, A guy in black robes went pass me with a box as I hurried. I ignored him. But, my grandparents were already dead. They didn’t die from fire, someone...someone...killed them...” Arkal said in sorrow.

“The Black Robes guy!?!” I said in shock.

“The blood. It was coming from a wound in their bodies...” Arkal said and continued, “I tried to get them out of fire. But the ceiling fell on me.”

“Seji!!” Alec shouted while bringing Doctor to me with Mei.

“I’ll avenge them all. Promise.” I said to Arkal while patting his head.

“Heal doctor, so, he can heal others.” I said to Alec.

“Okay.” Alec replied.

“Thank you. My name is Lagha.” Doctor replied.

“Heal them after this, Doctor. We will be counting on you.” I said.

“Arkal, Are you alright?” Mei asked Arkal.

“He lost his family...” I said to Mei in sorrow.

I told Alec and Mei, what Arkal told me.

“Do you know where that Black Robe guy is headed to?” I asked Arkal.

“Those mountains in east...” Arkal said.

“Alec, Mei. We are going there. Dragon must be there too.” I said.

“Let me come too...” Arkal said.

“I’m sorry, but no Arkal. Not this time. Though when an adventurer comes here send them for our backup. Who knows how strong the Dragon might be.” I said.

“A-alright.” Arkal said.

“I can heal others now.” Doctor said.

“Let's go, Alec, Mei.” I said to Alec and Mei.

“What will we do?” Mei asked.

“Capture black Robe guy and exterminate Mad Dragon, And ask him who the heck is Delbrus. And where can we find him.” I said.

“And what if we fail?” Alec asked me.

“Failure isn’t an option. This is for everyone that they killed. Including Myst. Including these Villagers.” I said in anger.

“We will capture him.” Mei said in seriousness.

“This pain and suffering they were causing. They won’t get away this easily. I, Sejiyoi Midaro of THE ELEMENTAL! , TAKES PLEDGE, ILL BEAT THEM DOWN!!” I said in anger.

We flew towards the mountains at the full speed.

In a mere minute or two, we are here. We were standing in the front of mountains.

“I’ll check from sky where they are.” I said and flew in the air.

I can see a dragon down, there with a guy. The purple to black gradient dragon.

I sign Mei and Alec to fly to me in air.

“Look, they are there. Let’s go.” I said.

“Let’s go!” Mei said.

“Alright.” Alec said.

We flew down to surround them from Three directions.

We hide behind trees and bushes to stay away from their eyes. The dragon was sleeping. But Black robe guy was just sitting there. Maybe he's contacting his boss.

“My Lord, I’m sorry to tell you that I couldn’t retrieve the box. Though this dragon is very strong. It took out all the village in a single atta- I’ll report personally, Lord. Someone is here.” Black robe guy said and broke his crystal. He kept sitting.

“Come out! I know you are hiding.” Black robe guy said.

I signed Alec and Mei to come out from Bushes. We came out of bushes.

“What you want?” He asked.

“Why did you attack an innocent village?” I asked.

“Why did you kill my father?” Mei asked in rage.

“Innocent? Don’t make me laugh. People of this country are not innocent from any chance. I feel disgusted whenever I remember bout my past.” He said while standing up.

“Past? Who are you?” Alec asked.

“The name is Kiriyo. You might already know me by now.” Kiriyo said while taking black cloth from his face.

TO BE CONTINUED.
