Benjamin, Nelson and Ryn began to raise an army in 2 shape town and other shape towns. Benjamin and Nelson also tortured the two Orges that were capture to know why they were spying on their town.

TWO DAYS LATER (NIGHT)

After travelling for two days and night, Hawk and the princess decided to rest in the night in a forest. Hawk gathered fire-woods and make fire with it to keep them warm, they both sat down opposite each other staring at the fire between them.

Princess Tracy asked Hawk ''how long is it going to take before we reach where Zussorader is?''.

''If we leave very early in the morning we should get there by noon, it's no longer far'' said Hawk to the princess.

''Okay. Can i ask you about those ugly creatures we fought and the one of top of the dark phoenix bird?'' asked princess Tracy curiously.

''You mean the Orges and the Marc?'' asked Hawk.

''Yes'' said Princess Tracy.

''The Orges were once human during the reign of the four evils that once ruled the land before the great King, my people and others defeat the four evils.....'' said Hawk.

Hawk was cut short of words as princess Tracy cut it ''when you mean the great king, do you mean King Hope and who were the four evils?'' asked princess Tracy.

''Yes and for you not to know about the four evils means you never visited your library and no one told you story about the great King.

The four evils are things i must never dare mention their names, their names are enough to bring fear to the entire world than the name of Marcelos. They once ruled the world until King Hope defeated them and sealed them away, and the four evils were the one that created the Orges.

The four evils took humans and made them into the Orge so they could serve as their soldier in their army. After the four evil was defeated the Orges left the outer world to live in caves and never show up to anyone again.

When Marcelos gained his five powers he seek out the Orges and made them obey him, then he turned them into one of his armies too and rule them.

And as for the Marc, that is just one of them. The Marcs are loyal servant of Marcelos made by Marcelos with his blood which is dark'' said Hawk.

''If the Marc are Marcelos loyal servant and the Orges are just one of Marcelos army, how many army does Marcelos has?'' asked princess Tracy.

''Marcelos has three army in total'' said Hawk.

''And they are?'' asked princess Tracy.

''One is the Orges, the others are gargoyles that turned to stone after Marcelos was defeated, and the most fearful of the armies and last one are the dark druids'' said Hawk.

''What are the druids?'' asked princess Tracy.

''I think we have to stop here for now'' said Hawk.

''Why?'' asked princess Tracy curious to hear about the dark druids.

''We will have to wake up very early in the morning, so we should sleep now so we can get to where Zussorader is very early'' said Hawk and laid down.

''But i want to hear about what the dark druids'' said princess Tracy.

''No get some sleep and keep your magical arrow very close to you just in case of necessity'' said Hawk as he closed his eyes.

''how do you know my arrow is a magical arrow?'' asked princess Tracy surprised how Hawk knew about her arrows, but Hawk gave no response.

Princess Tracy pestered Hawk to tell her about the dark druids and how he knew her arrow was a magical no but Hawk gave no response.

NEXT DAY (MORNING)

Hawk woke princess Tracy up very early in the morning and told her it is time to start back their journey. Princess Tracy get up and they continue their journey to find Zussorader.

After a long walk, princess Tracy and Hawk got in front of a castle and stopped, ''is this where Zussorader is?'' Princess Tracy asked Hawk as they both looked at the castle.

''This is where the footstep path stopped, so this is where he will be'' said Hawk to princess Tracy.

''Then we should return back and informed the great King'' said princess Tracy.

''No we have to check if Zussorader is really here or it just some trick by creating a presence of himself here'' said Hawk.

''Are you saying you might be wrong about Zussorader being here?'' asked princess Tracy.

''No and yes. We need to check if am right or not'' said Hawk and began to walk into the castle, then princess Tracy followed.

Hawk and Princess Tracy walked through the rooms in the castle until they got to the room where they met Philip sited on the throne and Zussorader standing next to him, they stopped walking and stood still. Princess Tracy fixed her arrow to her bow and pointed it at Zussorader and Philip ready to shoot them on seeing them.

Zussorader said to Hawk ''long time no see Hawk''.

Hawk walked forward, followed by princess Tracy and stopped in a few space from Zussorader and Philip, also princess Tracy stopped, her arrow fixed to her bow still pointed at Zussorader and Philip.

Hawk said to Zussorader ''long time no see Zussorader, and you pick a nice hideout''.

''The castle has been abandoned for years we both don't know, so it a perfect place for hideout'' said Zussorader (with a smile) to Hawk.

''Do you know i used to come here to have fun.....well you wouldn't know about that since you weren't born then'' said Hawk with a smile.

''I know you are my elder and i respect you for that'' said Zussorader with a smile.

Princess Tracy and Philip( who was staring at the princess) were confused about what Hawk and Zussorader just talked about.

Hawk said to Zussorader ''i can't think of the reason why you will steal the mind crystal or you are just trying to be a bad ass, so everyone can fear you''.

''I guess so. It been really hard for me to survive while you were locked up in the dungeon'' said Zussorader.

''I think you were supposed to be next supreme wizard after betraying me and locking me up. But here you are on the run after stealing the mind crystal. It has truly been hard for you'' said Hawk with pity for Zussorader.

''Things didn't turn out the way i expected'' said Zussorader.

''Who is that?'' Hawk asked Zussorader about Philip.

''He is my son'' said Zussorader to Hawk.

''Sorry that it's late, congratulation'' said Hawk.

''Thank you'' said Zussorader with a smile.

''Seeing you are not surprised to see me means you were expecting my visit'' said Hawk.

''Wise as always Hawk, but am sorry i didn't prepare anything for your arrival. For the great King to release you and you doing his bidding mean he made a deal with you, and i will like to make a deal with you also'' said Zussorader.

Hawk smirked and said ''you may have forgotten Zussorader but i didn't. You should know i would never make a deal with someone that betrayed me''.

''That is the past Hawk, we should forget that and look forward to the future'' said Zussorader.

''You telling that, is like you telling me to forget the pain and cry of my dead people when you were the one that betrayed their trust and lead them to their death'' said Hawk (annoyed).

''Am sorry if that is enough to easy your pain and grief'' said Zussorader.

''Well i don't need that, and just not interested in making any deal with you'' said Hawk.

''Even if the deal favors you more than me'' said Zussorader.

''What is the deal then?'' asked Hawk.

''I can help you create a new kind of yours in exchange you join my quest to create and rule a new world'' said Zussorader. Princess Tracy laughed while Hawk smiled on hearing that.

''What funny?'' Philip asked the princess and Hawk, annoyed at the princess and Hawk as they laughed and smiled.

''You both are funny if that is your plan'' said princess Tracy to Zussorader and Philip as she stopped laughing and Hawk stopped smiling.

''I heard you Zussorader but am not interested in your quest and i prefer my old kind to your new version'' said Hawk and walked forward to Zussorader.

Hawk stopped on getting some step from Zussorader, ''i would advice you to follow me to the palace with the mind crystal and you might be forgiven'' said Hawk to Zussorader.

''Can i ask what the King Raynold offer you'' Zussorader asked Hawk.

''I can't tell you that'' said Hawk.

''I know you seek revenge Hawk even though you are hiding it. Join me and i can help you get more than revenge'' said Zussorader.

''You are mistaken, i don't care about that'' said Hawk.

''If you insist not to join me then i have no choice but to kill you because you became a threat to me'' said Zussorader.

Hearing that made princess Tracy released her arrow and it went toward Zussorader. The arrow stopped (levitated) in front of Zussorader. Philip and Zussorader was surprised who stopped the arrow knowing it wasn't any of them and Philip stood up from the throne, at the same time Hawk could perceived the scent of the Orges.

Hawk quickly went to the princess and told her that they have to leave just then the Marc and some Orges walked into the room. Princess Tracy and Hawk became afraid on seeing the Orges and the Marc. Zussorader was surprised to see the Marc and Orges but Philip had no idea who the Orges and the Marc are.

The Orges surround princess Tracy and Hawk as princess Tracy fixed another arrow to her bow and pointed it at the Orges.

''Don't try anything please'' said Hawk (scared) to princess Tracy.

''Then what do we do?'' princess Tracy (scared) asked Hawk.

''We do nothing if we don't want our head to roll on the ground'' said Hawk to the princess.

Philip asked Zussoarder ''what are those?''.

''I will explain to you later just don't do anything'' said Zussorader to Philip, the Marc walked toward Zussorader and Philip.

As the Marc walked toward Philip and Zussorader, the arrow in front of Zussorader turned to ashed and air blew it away. The Marc stopped a few space from them and said to Zussorader in an ancient language ''are you the wizard who stole the crystal?''.

Zussorader, Philip and the princess did not understand what the Marc said because they don't understand the language the Marc used to talk to Zussorader except Hawk. ''I don't understand you'' said Zussorader to the Marc.

The Marc looked at Hawk and said to Hawk in the same ancient language ''tell him what i said''.

''I don't understand what you said'' lied Hawk to the Marc, then the Marc told the Orges to kill princess Tracy.

Just as the Orges was about to attack the Princess, Hawk said to the Marc in the same ancient language ''wait'', the Marc ordered the Orges to stopped their attack and they did.

Hawk said to Zussorader ''the Marc asked if you are the one that stole the mind crystal''. Philip and the Princess were surprised that Hawk understood the language.

''Yes i am'' said Zussorader to the Marc.

The Marc said to Zussorader ''master said to find you and bring you to him'', Hawk translate to Zussoarder.

''You mean Marcelos?" Zussorader ( surprised to hear that) asked the Marc.

''Yes. You are to come with me with the mind crystal'' said the Marc to Zussorader, Hawk translate to Zussorader.

''Why would he want me?'' asked Zussorader.

''Only master can tell you that'' said the Marc, Hawk translate to Zussorader.

''And where is Marcelos?'' asked Zussorader.

''He want to meet you in Embryum'' said the Marc, Hawk translated it to Zussorader.

Zussorader smiled and said to Philip ''go get the crystal we are going to meet our best ally'', Philip left to get the crystal.

Zussorader said (with a smile) to Hawk ''you heard it right, we are going to Embryum'' and Hawk became worried.

Princess Tracy bow, quiver full of arrows and two knife was taken from her by the Orges and her hands were tied with a rope. Hawk was tied in the hand and a shackle that has no chain was worn around his neck to suppress his ability of changing into any animal.

Philip returned back with mind crystal and Zussorader told him to give the mind crystal to the Marc but the Marc didn't collect the mind crystal and told them to hold on to it, they all went outside the castle.

As they got outside the castle, Zussorader and Philip was surprised and shocked to see an army of Orges and the phoenix bird but princess Tracy and Hawk saw it was the same army of Orges they saw on their way coming to Zussorader place.

The Marc get on top of the phoenix bird, Zussorader and Philip sat on horse they has been prepared for them in front of the Orges, while Hawk and princess Tracy was put in the middle of the Orges to march with the army. Philip and Zussorader lead the way followed by the Orges and the phoenix bird that flew in the sky.

As they journeyed, Philip asked Zussorader ''what are those?'' referring to the Orges and the Marc.

''Those creatures are called the Orges and the one on the dark phoenix is one of the Marcs. The most loyal servant of Marcelos'' said Zussorader to Philip.

''So you mean these Orges and the Marc belong to Marcelos?'' asked Philip.

''Yes and the Orges are just one of Marcelos army'' said Zussorader.

''How many army does Marcelos has?'' asked Philip.

''Me telling you will kill the surprise so wait until you see them yourself'' said Zussorader.

''Okay. But you told me that Marcelos army vanished when Marcelos was put to sleep but here they are without him being awake'' said Philip.

'''Yes, am also surprised to see them which means i might be wrong or something happened which i will find out'' said Zussorader.

''So where is this Embryum that we are headed'' asked Philip.

''If you can remember, i once told you about the dark world, that is where we are going'' said Zussorader.

Princess Tracy asked Hawk as them marched with the Orges ''do you think they are going to kill us?''.

''If the Marc has the intention of killing us, trust me we will be dead by now'' said Hawk to the princess.

''I think we should escape before it has the intention of killing us'' said princess Tracy.

''And how are we going to do that'' asked Hawk.

''Change into a huge bird and fly us out of here'' said princess Tracy.

''Why do you think there is a shackle around my neck not your?'' asked Hawk.

''I don't know'' said princess Tracy confused why Hawk asked her that question.

''The shackle around my neck is a magical one and as long as the shackle remain there i can't use any of my power'' said Hawk.

''Oh i see. So that means there is no way we are escaping'' said princess Tracy (scared and sad).

''Yes, or maybe if they release us or someone rescue us... and i don't think there is anyone that can stand up against this Orges except the Kingdoms nor will they release us'' said Hawk.

''I pray we don't get killed. I wonder how my father will feels not seeing me, am the only child of my father'' said princess Tracy (sad).

''Stop thinking about that right now, instead focus on how to survive until we find a way to be saved'' said Hawk.

''You said it yourself we might not be safe. So where is this Embryum that we are going?'' asked princess Tracy.

''A place where people like us should never go to and a place located in the dark world'' said Hawk.

''Dark world?'' asked princess Tracy.

''When King Hope defeated the four evils the sun shine upon the world again except the place where the four evil was sealed. Due to the sun not shining on the place ever since then, we called it the dark world because it is always dark and dangerous for people like us'' said Hawk.

''If that place is dangerous for people like us, why are they talking us there'' asked Princes Tracy.

''Because that is where Marcelos palace is. Embryum is a castle that belongs to Marcelos and where is army was be'' said Hawk.
