The dust settled on the town of Azalea everyone was massacred nothing was spared not even the monsters.
"what a sorry sight." Noelle walked through the corpses of her victims looking searching for something.
"I'm sure lord Anarue would be pleased that-" her eyes caught something something that glittered in the sun.
Promptly she walked over there to see Faye trying to cut herself out with a random golden knife she got from a nearby monster.
"you dont know when to quit do you." Noelle raised her hand charging an ice attack at her at point blank range and just when she was about to fire Faye quickly chopped her arm off with full force to get out from the rock and attacked Noelle throwing off her aim.
Faye stood back a bit waiting for Noelles next move.
But Noelle didnt do anything she just stood there and monsters started to dig their selves out from the meteor fragments.
Faye made a bow out of wind and quickly stepped back.
"That's cute but you have no whimsy to use that." Noelle taunted sending her minions after Faye.
Faye dodges the monster's attacks by sliding under them and quickly making a wind arrow and shooting it by lightly whistling.
The arrow pierces the monsters then blowed up in a huge gust of wind.
Blood from the monsters rained down as Faye turned her attention back to Noelle.
She then manifested a sword out of flames and pointed it an Noelle covered in blood."you will draw your last breath here."
"This will be amusing."
Noelle started to send ice shards and Faye but she melted all of them with her sword as she began to charge at her.
Faye leaped into the air aiming for Noelle's head to slice it off but Noelle used her ice to slide herself out of the way.
The impact from Faye's sword left a small crater in the ground.
Noelle continued to slide around Faye taunting her repeatedly.
Faye couldn't keep her eyes on Noelle one minute she's about you the next to the left of you.
She kept this up until there were ice trails all over the battle area and Faye was out of breath.
"Ok I should finish this now." She said with a grin sitting on an ice block out of Faye's reach.
She snapped her fingers and the trail of ice turned into over a hundred ice spears aiming for Faye.
"Any last words?" Noelle asked Faye before killing her.
'no wait ...I have to live... I have to make sure Astra's alright I cant die without saying good bye.' Faye raised her head and the moment she does she felt the cold sharp sting of every one of those spears in an instant.
Her eyes grew into a blood shot red and blood rained from her mouth.
Noelle descended from the ice block and stood right infront of Faye giving her a tap on the shoulder with an evil grin.
"You tried your best."
She pulled a spear out from Faye's abdomen.
She collapsed to the floor spilling blood everywhere.
"I'm sorry...."
Noelle looked up to the sky.
"it's almost noon... I should report yo lord Anarue."
She started to walk away from the village she left in ruin but stumbled across something.
A book .. with the number 6 on it.
Noelle picked it up and checked its contents.
"Yeah this is the one." she started to walk away with it.
"that makes two."

"well here it is" Ari was lead through the streets of Cyru until they stopped at a huge building with a statue of a king and a fair looking maiden the statue looked like it was made off of cobble stone and in peak condition at that.
"so what do you think so far?" the woman asked with a smug expression but all ari could do was stare blankly at the statue.
"Speechless I see." The lady said probably feeling very proud of herself.
"let me show you the inside." Both of them walked through the "cabin of curiosity's" halls and there they saw a alot of trinkets and gems found during adventures and expiditions but one thing caught Ari's eyes.
"What's that?" Ari said pointing to a book on a pillar.
"Oh one if the famous books made by king Alexander before he passed."
"King Alexander huh?" Ari kept looking at the book to see the number shimmering in the light it was placed under.
"number 5?"
The lady nods "There are a total of six books we only have one at the moment though."
Ari thought about it for a while.
"Ok you convinced me I'll work here." Ari didnt break eye contact with the book not even for a second.
"wonderful! you start next week." The lady reached out her hand to shake Ari's.
"Deal."
Ari took the handshake.

"Welcome to the village of cyru" Thomas said moving the final branch to the forest as the sun sets on cyru village.
"so the collector's here?" Astra could barely contain her excitement. Thomas nods confidently and started to walk ahead.
"let's go lumi!" Astra once again picked up her furry companion and started to follow the boy.
Kai slowly follow the two if them.
When they got into the village it looked amazing.
Kids playing on the streets the building and architecture were beautifully designed as a calming medley play throughout the village.
Everyone looked like they were having a good
time but she had to stay focused.
"So where is this collector guy?" Kai finally spoke up generally curious to what's about to happen.
Thomas walked to a near by door and stood there waiting for the others.
"Aaaaand here he is! behold! the collector!!"
Thomas opened the door with a huge grin but the house was empty there wasn't anyone here just a few books and papers.
"oh....he must have gone out to get something."
