Larien was curled up in the corner of the room in which she was chained. The collar was a little small and started fubbing soars onto her neck. The life seemed to be draining out of her. She missed her new friends and wished she had not gone off to be alone. She missed Clover and even Epotheros, but she missed Tramer the most. He had saved her in the canyon. She owed him something that she could never give back. Glanceing up at the bars to the outside world she reached out with her mind and tried to contact someone, anyone.
Please. Help me....
The wind carried a soft likeness to her voice across the land waiting for anyone to hear.

After talking to epotheros I went about one hundred feet to the east from were he was training I then sat on the ground and took the lotus position “ok I can do this” I said to myself as I started to clear my mind “ok I just need to concentrate” I thought to myself remembering what happened last time I was trying to use magic without using spells I then closed my eyes and used magic to since everything around me I then focused on some mid sized rocks around me using my mind I called on wind of pick them up eleven rocks lifted from the air and started flying around me but then a memory of looking into a camp fire flashed throw my mind as it did the rocks I had flying around me burst into flames so intense the rocks melted I opened my eyes and grinded my teeth in frustration as I started over I continued this for hours

As I sat in the fled a strange voice called to me in my mind I recognized it but could not put my finger on who it belonged to as I heard it I opened my eyes and started to look around the field I saw that epotheros and clover had taken a brake the next thing I know epotheros was running toward me as soon as he got to me he told me about a giant man eating plant and that we needed to meet in the castle so I got up and ran as fast as I could but still the voice I herd haunted the howl time I was running toward the castle I was thinking of the voice trying to think of who it was and then it hit me larien it was larien she was obviously in trouble “I have to do something” I thought to myself as I approached the castle I soon found my way inside and made my way to the main hall were epotheros and clover were weighting “epotheros there is something not right about larien leavening when I entered her room I could sense the same dark energy as I did when we encounter the sorceress and I tried to use a spell to spy on her and when I did the sorceress blocked my spell but in what I did get to see larien was in a small dark room” I said looking into epotheros eyes “I know she did not leave here on her own free will and we have to do something to help her” I said even though I new we had no way of finding her and even if we did we stood little chance agents Zant

Clover felt the full wait of Epotheros’ words, If we beat Zant. They didn’t have a choice. No they would have to give their all, if this Zant was going to be stopped. That’s all they could do. The sorrow mixed with determination swimming about Clover’s mind was broken by a winded messenger. Moments flew by before Clover was riding Alfie back to the castle. She ran to her room, gathered her things, then went to the main hall to meet the others.
Hearing Tramer's words she sympathized with him completly. She felt awful about Larien's disappearance. Clover was confused and worried. Had Larien really been taken away and why? With her mind racing Clover stood there silently waiting for Epotheros to reply to Tramer’s urgent words.

A solid black wolf, three times the size of a normal one, turns a corner and, seeing the group begins advancing straight toward Epotheros. A message appears in his mouth. When read it states:
Epotheros, I hope this reaches you. We have got big trouble coming our way. Whle taking my morning run, I have found some very interesting things. I revisited the site of the frag I had chased, and found tracks. I followed these tracks to find a great Zombie Dragon roaming around. I think the other frags may have also turned into beasts.
I am currently trying to find my friends so they may help us. Don't worry about me. Please send a reply message with Shadow, he will know how to find me.
~Ty Charns
P.S. Be gentle with him, he's still a baby.

As Lord Baragoon was in his study researching the events and trying to find Clover's past one of his old artifacts begain to glow red. It was a gift from a elvin noble and looked like a plain old jeweld statue of a elf dressed in royal robes and jewelry. This puzzled him for a moment but he decided to bring it to Tramer who was half elf and might know what it means.
He went to the main hall to find Epotheros, Tramer and Clover sitting at one of the tables talking to eachother. Epotheros was reading the note from Ty, before he looked up to see the Lord.
"Sir, I have just recieved word from the Lanryu Providence. It seems they have been attacked by a plant creature which I am quite sure id related to Zant."
"Well that is important, I do believe I have something slightly more urgent in my hands. I do believe it is a message from an elf in distress." Lord Baragoon then placed the statue infront of Tramer. "You're half elf, correct? Try and activate it so we can view the message."
When the item comes in contact with Tramer's skin, a redish light illuminated the area around it to create a picture of Larien in her sad, curled up state repeating the words, "Help me..." before transforming into a map showing were she was currently located. Where Larien is imprisoned was known as the Twila region, which had a very small amount of sunlight and remained in an almost constant state of dusk.
"Tramer, there is a new plan. Clover and I will go to Lanryu to take care of the plant monster, while I'll send message to Ty for you two to meet up at Zant's current residency and rescue Larien. I am sure Zant will be watching our fight against the first of his beasts so that should buy you some time. I do advise you try and be as covert as posible, we have no idea what is guarding the place."
Epotheros then wrote the battle plan on a piece of stationary and gave it to Ty's wolf creature to deliver the message.
"Ty, we need you to meet up with Tramer in the Twila region near the town of Hectoron. We have found where Larien is and you'll need to aid Tramer in the rescue. Clover and Myself will be in the Lanryu Providence fighting one of Zant's monsters, but don't worry I am a fire type and Clover is a wind type so we have the advantage."

"Our best vhance of winning, is if we are at full strength. We will rest up tnight and start off to our locations early in the morning. Currently I have wasted about half my energy, so going into battle would not be the wisest thing to do. I am going to go off to bed, you may do as you wish."
Epotheros then had a little food for supper, washed up and went to his room. For a few hours he sat on his bed staring at the celing. He wanted to do something but he could not put his finger on it.

It was very early in the morning, even befor the sun had risen when Epotheros started knocking on the doors. He knocked on Tramers door first giving him the map to where Larien was being held captive.
" Tramer do not even get close to the castle without having TY there to back you up. You always need a back up, unless it is an emergency. Be careful, we do not have any information about the landscap and hostile forces that live there.," he said in an advising tone.
Epotheros then made his way down the hall to the room where Clover was staying and knocked on the door. "Clover it's time to get up," he said waiting for her to get ready and come to the door. Epotheros himself had already gotten dressed and put new chain mail and his chest plate on. He only had his longsword straped to his back because he did not need the other weapons. He knew this would be a serious fight and they would only hold him back.

The night went well. No dreams plagued her mind and Clover was able to sleep without worry or doubt. She believed it to be on account that they were finally doing something. Larien would soon be saved, or at least she hoped. On top of that Epotheros and her would be taking down some unfriendly man-eating plant. This all energized her and reassured her that their idleness would cease soon.
Clover woke to knocking on the guestroom door. “Huh, coming,” she replied drowsily. She stretched her body and ready rather quickly. Once she was set, she opened the door to see Epotheros waiting. “Good morning,” she said now fully awake.

"Hello Clover, I hope you are prepared to get going. Today will take a lot out of us so it is best we leave any distractions and worries hidden. Also there is one thing I do want to do before we leave, I just want to make sure I get the chance."
He then leaned forward and gave Clover a light kiss on her right cheek. Epotheros took a few steps back and replied with one of his usual ironic remarks he always makes when he gets nervous. "I apologize for that not being very romantic."
He then turned and went outside to prepare Shadow for the long ride to the Lanryu providence. He was not sure what kind of beast was waiting for them, or if Zant may confront them. He only hoped that they made it out alive.

Clover nodded her head. She would have to leave worries behind if she wanted to accomplish anything. “Huh,” left her mouth right before Epotheros kissed her right cheek. Clover felt as if her heart had stopped. Normally in such a situation she would slap him, but she couldn’t help but feel thankful. Instead she just blushed and reverted to silence. She hopped more than anything that they would all walk away from this whole ordeal alive.
Clover followed Epotheros and readied Alifie as well. The whole time she tried to act as if nothing had happened, but in truth for once she was truly happy, even though they were riding off to what might be their doom.

After touching the statue and seeing in such horrible shape I had no intention of waiting for ty something had to be done now as soon as we were done talking I headed out of the castle and started heading to the stable were I grabbed my horse and then started heading toward the fortress larien was imprisoned at
I rode fast and hard toward the fortress the howl time trying to come up with a plan to get larien out safely without dieing myself the more I thought about it there seemed to be only one option it was risky but I had no choice
It took me less time that I had predicted to get to the fortress as I was approaching it I left the rood and soon dismounted my horse and continued on foot I soon found my way to the forts outer wall I fallowed it until I got to the main gait I hid behind some thick bushes and took a look I saw two grads watching the gate “vas gona moridi” I whispered at I did I vanished about two seconds later I reappeared behind the guard on the right I grabbed the mans head and snapped his neck I then quickly unsheathed one of my swords and removed the other guard head with an effortless swing “so far so good” I thought to myself as I concealed the bodies and then let myself into the fort as I sneaked around I new none of the human guards had detected me but if the sorceress or zant r in the fort they will be sore to sense me here and that could make things interesting I thought as I headed toward the dungeon

"Smooth..."
Ty comes out of a shadow and silently applouds Tramer...
"Come on, lets make it quick though. I know a short cut though, come on." He touches the wall and it turns pure black... "Through here, its a portal...it closes when i let go."

I laughed to myself as I saw ty “it good to see u I thought I was going to have to do this on my own” I said quietly as I saw the portal ty had made I smiled “this works perfectly to my plan…ok as soon as were in the cell I will teleport all three of us out of the castle” I said knowing I only had I would only have one shot at this I would only have enough straight to teleport us all once I then walked though the portal wondering were exactly it was going to take me
