Kakurine looks at Luc: What did you do that the creatures fell asleep?
Luc: (smiles) just a sleeping spell.... but it won't last, we have to put them in cages to hold them.
Kakurine: No, leave them. Ferciol is who we are after.
Carbuncle and Connell call out: We were at the river to get water. There was this lone man fishing. He seems to be unaware of what's going on.
Kakurine: Call him, maybe he can help us, ask him if he knows Ferciol's powers.
Chidori,Stealth,Miyu and the rest of the knights arrive since they have received the message. Kakurine looks at all of them grimly.
Kakurine: Do not lose hope! If we defeat Ferciol then his soldiers or creatures will run! We have to stand united!!! Tomorrow we fight for victory!!!
A big roar resounded as GSG's units shouted their battle cry.
( At Ferciol's headquarters)
Bashani, the court magistrate walks into the meeting hall. He is a tall creature. His neck is long as an ostrich, his long ears pointed and a large set of fangs hang from his mouth. His red eyes roll in triumph.
Bashani: We have captured the Liberty castle of GSG! We have triumphed! Nothing can get in our way now!
All creatures big ,medium and smaller sized shout excitedly!
"We have won!" They scream, jumping with joy.
Suddenly the floor shakes and a loud rumble fills the room. It grows louder and louder and everyone's knees are shaking with fear! Thunder and lightning flashes and all the windows rattle loudly as a dark, huge and menacing creature enters the hallway. His head is enormous covered with 6 horns, his eyes roll evilly (all 4 of them glowing red!)His body is covered with green scales and his feet and hands had sharp claws that could rip a man's head apart but most noticeable about him was his belly........a yellow mark that looked like a three thonged spear.
The voice rumbles: What is this? You shout victory when Kakurine and her main armies haven't battled with you yet!! We have only captured a few warriors and you dare call it a victory!!
You Idiot!!
Dont you know that they have captured back their castle? Grrrrrrrrrr!
He slams his bulky arm down on the table and the table breaks in half. Everyone bows including Bashani.
No one could talk. No one dared unless..........they wanted to be eaten by the ferocious.........FERCIOL!
Machi reaches Karaya, a town 10 miles away from Harmonia. She stops to take her meal at a nearby tavern. She enters and stops. Houjoun is seated with a group of gamblers trying out their luck in a game of "black jack".
She orders her meal and stares at Houjoun.
There is something about dis person.......mysterious! Houjoun notices Machi.
Houjoun: Why do you stare?
Machi: You look familiar. Have you seen the K.O.T.F.?
Houjoun: They were last seen at the Belwood Forest 6 miles from here. You should see the smoke coming from the hooves of their horses like they were on fire!
Machi smiles. "Thats the keepers alright!"
Machi wonders . "Should I rest here or go on. Ayuki will need me."
Houjoun read her mind.
Houjoun: Come with me. Sora, a friend, will join us. You will need our powers to reach Harmonia.
Machi scoffs. "I have my own powers too!"
Houjoun: I know but three people have a better chance than one.
The door swings open and Sora sees Houjoun. He looks at Machi.
Sora: I see, we have a new companion. Shall we go?
Machi wonders how Houjoun and Sora can help her.
(At Harmonia)
The room is quiet as Ferciol walks back and forth angrily. Fire blows from his nostrils as he paces around the room. He looks bothered. His great birds of prey have spotted Kakurine and her armies approaching miles away. He is amazed at their vast number:knights,wolves,soldiers, dragons and more soldiers are approaching his kingdom. He didnt have to be afraid since he had mighty powers but still it bothered him that a mighty enemy was approaching.
Suddenly soft footsteps are heard and they stop. Ferciol, breathing heavily with fire and grunting loudly looks up.
A pretty maiden is standing before him and she smiles,"I think you have been waiting for this."
She hands him a piece of PAPER!
