Alatar notices Nija becoming distracted by something, Alatar closes the book and walks away from Nija. He sees a shadow from outside, looks at Nija, and asks him to go check it out. Ninja walks out of the dungeon and looks around outside. At first, he doesn't see anyone or anything in some form of a shadow, he walks around to the side of the dungeon and notices the lady kneeling down staring into the small window. Ninja walks quietly up to her and taps her on her shoulder, she jumps up frantically.
"Who are you?" Ninja asks. "I'm Altars girl," Circa replied. Ninja looks at her and doesn't believe her. He knows Alatar doesn't have a woman in his life, so what is she thinking? Ninja brings her down inside the dungeon for Alatar to see this lady. Once they get to Alatar, Ninja says, "This is the shadow you saw. She said she's your girl." Alatar shakes his head back and forth and says, "This is Circa, a witch." He walks away from them and calls Nija over to him. He whispers to him, "She's in my control now. She will do what I say when I say it. I needed her to help complete my demonic world." Ninja understands why she had said that she's an Alatars girl.
While Alatar and Nija talk quietly, Alatar sends Nija to the underworld. Moments later, he vanishes! Circa is left with Alatar.
THE UNDERWORLD:
After Nija vanishes from the dungeon, he lands in the underworld of a forest of trees. Alatar put him here to rid the world. But how is he going to do this by himself? Is he that strong of a demon to conquer this world alone? Alatar commanded Nija to find the rest of the witches and bring them to him, but how is he going to do this? Nija must first become the god of the underworld to gain control of the witches here.
Nija must gain the ultimate power of the ruler of the underworld first. He must visit the ultimate house of gods, but he has no idea where this is located. Alatar sent him on his journey to prove to him that he can be one of his ultimate demons. This is a way that Alatar is making Nija stronger and preparing him for the battle of a lifetime!
Ninja roams the town, the town is like a ghost town, so he keeps walking. He stumbles upon a house, a house that he was drawn to and he has no idea as to why he was led there. He stops in front of the house and stares at it. He feels for some reason that he's connected to this house, he just doesn't know why he feels this way about the house. He's not sure whether to go inside the house or just scope the area out. He knows what his purpose is here, but what he doesn't know is where to search for the witches! He decides to scope the area out since he feels drawn to this house, and he figures something is here that will lead him to the witches. He walks to the back of the house and all he sees is a yard with a fire pit on the ground, then he walks on the other side to get to the front of the house and nothing is catching his eye. There is nothing here that could possibly draw him to this house. As he starts to leave, a light suddenly turns on! He stops and stares at the house again, waiting for some kind of sign.
As it begins to rain, Nija still stands in front of the house, then he hears the small bushes on the one side and walks over to them, as he looks to see what this noise is, a small, white, siamese cat jumps out in front of him. He grabs the cat and thinks, "Now there is a reason to go up and knock on the door." The person inside the house must have realized that their cat got out and is stuck in the rain, so, that's why the light flicked on.
Nija is soaking wet from the rain and it's dark out, so he must come up as to why he's out in the late hours of the night. So he holds the cat for a little while longer and thinks of a plan to tell this person why he's at their house. He doesn't want the person to become suspicious of him if the person inside the house is a witch. If so, then it would ruin why he is here! Alatar would not accept this from him if he makes one bit of a mistake. Alatar will forbid him to continue to be one of his demons.
It takes him longer than usual to come up with a plan, as he holds the cat, his eyes become yellowish, and the cat starts to meow loudly. The cat tries to fight its way out of Nija's arms, but Nija is too strong and powerful. The cat starts to claw at his arms and face while letting out loud squeals because Nija is holding him too hard. The cat tries to get away, but he can't. The person inside the house hears the cat and opens the front door. A guy stands in front of the front door calling for his cat. He hears the cat, but can't see him since the rain is falling profusely.
Then suddenly, Nija walks up to the front door, holding the cat in his arms. He looks up at the man standing there, his eyes start bulging out and his jaw drops. The man looks at Nija and all he does is stare at him. There is no movement from either of the two men.
