In the pitch black night you wearily awoke, you noticed Ralsei was gone from where he was sleeping. The fire was still burning though not as strong as it use to. You got up and walked around the runes casting his name many times, 'ralsei', 'Ralsei', ''RALSEI!''. It didn't do nothing. You soon went into a panicked frenzy. Walking around circles and running across the field did you no good. Then you heard what seems to be screaming saying "LET ME GO!", " PLEASE LET ME GO!". You quickly ran into the direction the screaming was facing. You peered through the pink bushes and what seems like ralsei tied up! Two armed guards stood point as three others packed Ralsei in a wagon. Armed with spear in hand you rushed out, screaming of the bushes as you pierced one of the guards. the others drew out their swords and swiftly came after you. You evaded few of their attacks. Crash, Clash and bang! You stabbed another one but another Rudin pinned you to the ground, both of you violently wresting as diamond shaped arrows flew past. One penetrated the guard which gave you ample time to grab the knife from his sheaf and stab it into his neck. Black blood oozed out as you threw the body aside. you saw the Rangers pull back their bows, you quickly scrambled to pick up one of the Rudin's shields. You struggled towards them as arrows impaled the shield. you lunged your spear at the ranger that was on the high ground, he flew back against the ground. The last ranger fled as you threw down your shield.

You quickly ran to ralsei. "Oh god, I'm so sorry ralsei." you said while tears ran down your face. His face slightly beaten and bruised. You cut the bindings from his paws and feet. He stood up and without hesitation hugged you tightly. "I swear on my life I'll never leave you unguarded again." You pleaded while looking in his eyes. "[YN], your bleeding!" Ralsei blurted out. You looked down and saw a small sword gash in your stomach, blood was poring out. Realization over took and you fell to the ground, Ralsei catching you in the process. You laid against the wagon. A burning sensation was in your stomach, vison was fading in and out and you were gasping for air all the while Ralsei was in a panic. 'I will use my healing spell!' He trembled. He cupped his paws together and spoke in some sort of ancient tongue you couldn't make out. Then suddenly a yellow light like a fire formed on the ground as the air filled with bright dancing stars. You looked down at the deep gash and saw it slowing closing. You felt relief flood your body as you slowly started to stand up. 'Are you alright?' He asked. 'Yes, thank you' You replied back.

Soon both you and ralsei decided that it was time to head back to the castle. You looted from what was left after the battle and went on the trail again.
