He was running through the thick, dark forest surrounded by nothing, but danger and right now he was being hunted. Rushing along the path while holding on to a delicate armament, ain’t a joke but, when it’s something you risked it all for, it’s worth it.
"Don’t let him get out of sight!” A shout echoed through, that nearly shuddered him. He was fast, but he had to take the lead, being caught by the soldiers meant nothing but trouble.
After entering a denser region of the forest, he used one of his exclusive skills. ‘Stealth’, and he vanished.
“What the hell? Where did he go! Find him!” He could see those soldiers conversing from a few branches above. Climbing that fast certainly helped him well.
Now he had to wait for them to scatter away, which they did in just a while allowing him to escape.
Entering a castle certainly proved to be a difficult task, but to him, it was just a daily routine. He walked right through the castle halls and entered a seemingly familiar room.
“Alas! finally, there’s no one on my back!” He thought, letting out a sigh of relief he entered the room but was caught off-guard as he was pinned by a girl, young and beautiful but rather stronger than him.
“Got you, Prince!”

In the meantime, Theo and Catherine explained to her the whole story behind their journey and the purpose of their visit to the forest. 


“I see, a lot has happened behind my back, I apologise as I wasn’t of any assistance. 


Yet, I’m surprised they were able to even breach in the Capital being unnoticed! Though, I can’t really tell you who or what caused it, unless I investigate it myself!” She leaned back on her seat and let out a sigh while touching her temple. Everything she heard was a huge blow to her, 


“Also, the shrine has been abandoned long ago. It’s the last place you’ll wasn’t to go even though the legend of a mysterious crystal being there is true.” Her warning came out of nowhere. 


“Last place? What do you mean by that?” Milot asked in confusion, “And if I’m correct only you know about the mechanics of that place! 


Why are you saying it’s no place to go all of a sudden?”
