Rico opened his eyes while sweat are dripping from his face, he exhale as if he came back to life, he hold his chest feeling the pound of his heart.“What is happening? It’s been an hour since I can’t breathe. Is this something to do with Niffa?”He remembered what he saw from his vision where there was oozing blood and a flash of Niffa’s face.“No this can’t be, I need to call Merfoy.” He quickly stands up and looks below, he was on top of the mountain and only a bunch of trees are seen.“Merfoy! I need your help! Can you hear me on the other side?! Merfoy!” Rico keeps on shouting at the top of his lungs. He kneeled feeling exhausted as he keeps on catching his breath.“This is not good, I feel like I’m dying. Merfoy please!” he shouted but his voice was too croaky. His vision went blank as he fainted on the grassy ground.In Veroma, the townspeople were so confused about what the fox woman Nanami is trying to do.“You sure she’s not eating the sun keeper?” murmured the townspeople.

The townspeople were frightened to see Therens holding a burned body as he approaches them outside, the music and dancing stop as he lay down his friend’s fragile body on the ground.“Therens? What happened? Your hands are full of blood,” said of his men. They were all shocked and quivering while looking at the helpless body.“That devil, he transformed into a monster,” Therens said as his eyes were about to burst into tears out of infuriation. The townspeople felt more terrified as murmurs and gasps filled the place.“We better leave Veroma for now, all of you! The feast is over! Pack your things and leave this place before it’s too late!” Therens commanded looking around as the townspeople immediately run back to their houses and started packing.“Let me see your friend,” Cannai said as he approach the burned body and kneeled beside Therens.“He was not breathing. I just lost a friend,” Therens said as tears fall down his cheek. His eyes were almost red as he cried silently. Cannai

The old man waited for Niffa’s decision, her mind was racing a mile. She thinks of a possible solution to get rid of trading someone. She will never trade anyone’s life or memory, she cared about anyone from the palace, from the palace guards to the maids.“What’s your decision?” asked the old man. She sigh as she opened her eyes.“What if it’s me?” she asked as the old man stared at her teary eyes.“Are you sure about that?” he asked. Niffa nodded.“Pick one then, is it your life or memory?” the old man asks. Niffa was hesitant to answer, her fidgeting hands are getting cold as she breathe heavily.“I choose my-”“Stop!” a voice yelled from behind. They look outside the wooden hut, it was Therens and Cannai running to get inside the hut.“Therens? Cannai? What are the two of you doing here?” she asked as she immediately stands up blocking the two.“Niffa, you don’t have any Idea what this hermit is up to,” Therens warned as he held Niffa’s hand outside the hut.“Why did you come here

Niffa, Therens, and Cannai stand up in front of the entrance of Mt. Filli. Niffa with her bow and arrow and a bunch of knives inside a sheath on her belt, Therens with his sword placed on a scabbard around his body, and Cannai without a weapon on him were ready on a journey inside Mt. Filli. They waited for the hermit to finish casting a spell so that they will enter the forest without the invisible wall. They observe him murmuring some words they cannot understand with his eyes closed while both of his hands are wide open facing the entrance. Niffa’s furious eyes were fixed inside the dark forest, she can sense danger as if she was eager to get there.“Are you okay?” Therens whispered standing next to her. She nodded still glaring inside the forest. She deepen her glare as she felt a sudden fear, she suddenly saw a blurry thing walking fast from the forest. Niffa gasped silently and decided to keep it to herself.“The forest is open, you can enter now,” the hermit said looking at the

Rico stay still up above with Niffa lying in his arms, he looked down and saw the water from the river rising creating a tsunami as it creates a way to destroy the grassy ground at the entrance of Mt. Filli. Cannai woke up upon feeling the ground shakes uncontrollably, he looked around and saw Therens outside.“Therens!” he shouted as he tried to get up feeling the pain in his shoulder. Therens look at him from behind as he quickly runs to approach him.“Stay still Cannai,” he said with his worried face while helping him to lie down.“What is happening?” Cannai asked still with his weak wheezy voice.“There is no time to explain, you need to get out of here,” Merfoy said approaching them inside as he hold their hands and snap his fingers. They looked around an empty room as they realized they were inside one of Veroma’s empty rooms. They heard shouts of men from outside as Therens and Merfoy went out to see what is happening. They were shocked to see some of the soldiers bleeding and
