...The Stolen Item...

Dylan decided to recheck the symbols looking for something else.

" Why are only water symbols on this side? maybe there is something else that we couldn't see. "

He put his hands on the wall and started checking it, hoping to find something else hidden, but there were only old rocks. He spent hours doing that until he felt frustrated.

- Nothing is here, absolutely nothing.

- Be patient Dylan, there must be something.

- I can't do this anymore. We must wait for Aaron's arrival. Only the clue could lead us.

- Can't you remember anything from it?

- I wrote it in a hurry, so I don't remember that much, Sarra.

- What do you remember exactly?

Dylan took some moments to concentrate, hoping to remember anything useful.

- I think I remember some words

- What are they?

- Mirror...Gate and....and...

Suddenly Dylan's face turned pale.

- What's wrong Dylan? What did you remember?

- I think there is a mistake, there is no way that was the word.

- What word?

- ....Dragon...

- Dragon? Are you sure?

- I...I don't know.

- Can't you remember anything else?

- I'm sorry, I can't remember anything else.

- Alright, let's forget about the Dragon and start with the mirror. Maybe we should look for a specific mirror?

- But we already checked the whole wall, and there was no sign of any mirror.

- So, does this mean that we have nothing else to do?

- I'm afraid that we can't do anything more.

Dylan sat while looking gloomy, Laila grabbed his hand to cheer him up:

- It is not your fault, you did everything you could. We must wait for Aaron.

- What if he didn't find us? Will it be the end?

- Well, though it hasn't been that long since I met Aaron, I'm sure that he won't stop until he finds us. You must know that better than anyone.

Dylan sighed while looking at the sky:

- I don't believe that I'm saying this, but I miss that guy. We can't go any further without him.

Suddenly Dylan pushed Laila away.

- WATCH OUT!

- WHAT IS WRONG DYLAN?

It was Mei, she suddenly appeared and was about to hit Laila. Fortunately, Dylan could feel her presence and pushed her away before she could hit her with her sword.

- DO YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN RUN AWAY FROM ME?

- MEI!

- I KNEW YOU WOULD COME BACK TO THIS PLACE.

Dylan stood up in front of Laila to protect her, while Sarra took Annie to safety.

- STOP IT, MEI! STOP. HOW FAR ARE YOU WILLING TO GO?

- I WON'T STOP UNTIL I KILL THAT WITCH. I ADVISE YOU TO GET AWAY FROM MY SIGHT IF YOU WANT TO LIVE.

- I think you misunderstood something, Mei. Laila is not the witch you are looking for.

Said Sarra while coming from behind.

- STOP LYING, I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES. THE DAGGER WAS SHINING IN THE HANDS.

- But the dagger was in my hands too.

- That's true, but Laila confessed.

- How can a witch hunter be this stupid?

Mei became very confused when she turned around to face Sarra, she didn't see her.

- WHERE IS she?

Sarra appeared again in front of her, she kept a distance so the sword won't affect her magic. At that moment Mei became sure that Sarra was the real witch.

- Y...YOU ARE THE WITCH?

- Yeah, and you were about to kill an innocent human.

- MAYBE THE BOTH OF YOU ARE WITCHES...

Mei became suspicious of Laila and Sarra. She wanted to attack Laila again, but fortunately, Dylan took advantage of her distraction and took Laila away.

- Stay here, don't leave this place until I call you.

- WAIT!

- Please, don't get out. Mei became out of control and...and I can't afford to lose you. Just trust me, everything will be okay.

Laila pulled Dylan and hugged him:

- Please, be careful.

Mei became furious, she didn't wait any longer and run towards Sarra to attack her, but every time she got closer to her, Sarra disappeared then she appeared farther. Mei kept chasing after her until she became very tired. She was panting so much and barely could stand on her feet.

- So, is that all that you got?

- SHUT UP, HOW DARE YOU.

- Look at your face how ugly you are. Where is that sweet girl that was smiling at us brightly and helped us for the past few days?

- I SAID SHUT UP.

Dylan tried to interfere to stop her.

- Mei, can't you see that we are normal beings?

- YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF THIEVES.

- That ring belongs to my girlfriend that your grandfather killed. I have the right to take it.

- I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE RING.

- What do you mean? We only took the ring.

- I'M TALKING ABOUT MY GRANDFATHER'S MAGIC MIRROR. THAT'S HIS MOST PRECIOUS TREASURE AND ONE OF YOU STOLE IT...
