Seth was ready to start hunting rats, and after observing them for over an hour he had figured it out, The Snails was eaten by insects, the insects become luminescent for a short while after and then disappearing from view. The rats protected the Snails by eating the insects before they could eat the snails. And the reason the snail's shell was luminescent was because of the wet moss they were eating, it would start laminating as it was eaten by the snails. What was eating the rats? Seth though, but so far the only other thing he had seen in the caves where flying rats, sorry bats.

Seth was lurking closer, holding the pickaxe up and ready to strick, holding completely still waiting for the movement of the rats to be visible, and, and. The pickaxe was slammed down against a rat, sparks were flying as he hit some rocks. Not moving or making a sound Seth slowly repositioned himself for another strick. Again he closed the gap and with all his weight behind the strick, a soft crunchy sound could be heard.

With that single rat, he leveled again. He simply distributed every stat evenly before continuing to hunt the rats, and as his stats and the skill level for Shadow-Eyes increased hunting both the rats, insects, and snails become much easier. Every Skill level made it easier to see further and clearer, and it was already at level 5. Seth did not stop before he had killed everything he could find close the entry point.

He had total count after the hours hunting totaled:

Shadow-Rats: 35

Luminescent-Snails: 52

Luminescent-Insects: 130

For a total of; 41140 Exp.

But this had taken a heavy toll on him, he was hungry and out of food and drink and almost drained of Stamina, both from the use of the pickaxe and . But now he had leveled Evolved up to Lvl 14 and Sh-BattleMage to Lvl16, and buying the skills for Evolved;

Name: Cost: Effect: Stamina Boost 50p Increase the maximum amount of Stamina by 50% Stamina Regen.Boost 50p Increase the regeneration of Stamina by 50%

And for BattleMage;

And the rest of the points he just distributed evenly.

Sarah was in her bed, wishing Seth would find his way back soon. She started being afraid that he had just left her, or worse something had happened to him. Tomorrow she was being forced to the city, she was to attend a prestigious healing institution, she was to change her profession and start a new. She hoped dearly that Seth would make it back before that and that they could start the journey together.

She could hear a heavy knock on the door in the living room, "Good evening", her father said.

"Good evening", A dark manly voice said.

"What can we help you with this evening?" Harold asked very politely, strangely polite.

"Are you ready? we need you to come with us right away, the situation is a little more urgent than expected, you still have the deed?" The voice asked

"No, I do not, but the boy who has it is in mine-shaft and should return soon"

"You gave it away, you could pass it on?! Was it not restricted and the only way was to pass it on was after death to the next of kind?" the man asked puzzled and not in the least amused about this change.

"No, Only those that are a free citizen can accept the responsibility freely" Harold continued, keeping his voice low.

"So wait, you are saying you found someone else to take the deed in your place, and you have lost him?"

"No, he will return, I made of it sure, he is in love with my daughter, he will return and then he will be yours and so will the deed."

"What is his name?"

"Seth, and no family name"

"Interesting, boys grab his daughter and take her back, and let us motivate her father so he gets the message nice and clear"

Sarah was shocked at what she heard, and before she could do much her door was kicked in, and so was the door into the other bedroom, her mother screaming. Sarah was forced down, hands toughing, forcing there way, she tried to scream but a hand was making it even hard to breathe.

"Don't spoil her yet boys" As the voice said so he looked over at her father "They will continue where they left off if you don't bring this Seth too us soon..." the treat was crystal clear, a rag was force feed into Sarah's mouth and a bag was forced over her head.
