After some days in the Arcane Empire , the news Students of the Imperial Academy almost lost their lives due to an unforeseen accident. The responsible instructor was suspended for further notice. Most of the Nobles houses started inquiring in secret .

The capital of Arcane ,Hexalor the heart of the capital city , the Imperial palace , in the office of the Emperor , a cloaked man kneeling towards the Emperor and said " Your majesty , we haven't found any clue. But we have some information. In the Empire of Xazidel , the holy Empire of Elysian and the United Kingdom of Oasis , there were cases of kidnapping . We haven't found much information , as these cases were not investigated." " You mean, there were similar cases . " asked the Emperor. " Yes your majesty." replied the cloaked man. " Look into it " said the Emperor. " Yes your majesty." he vanished .Getting up from his chair Xavier went to the window . He left his office and two guards followed him.

Walking , he went out of his palace and went straight to an old two storey building . The building was surrounded by guards . As he went to the front door . The guards bowed down. Signalling them to get up and he entered the building. When he entered the building a woman was sitting on the couch and was leisurely eating , surrounded by maids . The interior of the building was different from the outside . One could never imagine that the interior of the building was decorated just by the same as the palace . Seeing someone entering through the door , she got up . When she saw who it was , she sat down .

" My dear brother , what made you come all this way to my old abode , my apologies should I bow down your majesty." she got up and bowed towards Xavier. She was none other than Xavier's sister, a royal princess . " Just sit down , just answer one question ." asked Xavier . " Yes sure." said the woman. " Solane were you behind this. " asked Xavier. " What are you talking about." asked Solane. " Did you plot the attack on the youngest son of the Duncan. " asked Xavier. Hearing the question she started laughing , " My dear brother do you think this week lady , who was locked up by you can do this. Do you really think ." said Solane . Hearing the reply , Xavier turned and went towards the door. " Did he die , he and that bitch should have died back then . And I would have had my place with him. " said Solane. Xavier looked back for a few seconds . Seeing her in this state , he felt pity but reality was always harsh . Seeing Xavier leave , solane took a glass and threw it out on the wall . " I will soon be free . You will suffer like i have , I will make you regret for locking me up. " she roared .

.He walked out of the building. " Listen keep a keen eye on the maids and her . " said Xavier . " Yes ,your majesty." as the guards spoke in unison . He left the place and towards the palace.

In the midst of the forest , the born fire was lit. Surrounded by the fire were two people sitting , one was none other than Thein and the other was Bruce. As they were moving towards their destination , they took a break in the midst of the forest. The horses and the guards needed a break . A little Far away from them was another born fire that was lit. This was Andre convoy. They kept the same pace. Most of Jareth group was exhausted. Their group never took a request for delivery. Most of the time , they were hunting for materials.

Suddenly, the atmosphere got quiet . " Eldest master , advisor Bruce." one of the guards said . " You all take care of the carriage, there should not be a single scratch . While me and Bruce will take care of it. " ordered Thein. " Andre , should we help." asked Jareth. " We will only help if needed. " said Andre.

From the trees , 20 bulky men came forward, some had swords and axes . These men didn't look normal , a pungent odour can be smelled from them. One of them came forward , " We will like to join you ..." cutting him between Thein closed him and struck him , the men staggered back. " Brats like you need to know your place ." and he dashed forward , he took out his blade and attacked him , Thein was so fast that when the man attacked him , he dodged him and attacked by cutting him from the halves . Seeing the scene all the men became alert , seeing them , Thein said " Bandits like you should know your place."

Seeing him kill a person , Andre was shocked , only one world came to his mind , the second Aron , he had one time seen his swordmanship , the scene was so familiar.

Jareth group was also shocked , they have seen all kinds of things , but never in their lives did they see such a scene where the attack was so precise. Seeing no one was attacking him , Thein rushed towards other . Seeing Thein rush towards one of his men , The chief who was back shouted "Get him." .
