Both Igor and Barbara sat in a room together discussing how to reach out to Seraph and Larmore.
"You have a spell that could help us reach Seraph and count Larmore, you can cast it now". Igor said.
"There's no need of telling me, I'm about to do it, Flap and spread out your feathery wings, rise and fly out to our persons of interest ". Barbara said as she casted her spell.
A small blue bird magically appeared on the table and chirped happily, Barbara took the bird on her hand and tied a small paper on it feet. She then went to a window and released the bird.
"Tell them we say hi when you meet them". Barbara said. The bird chirped then it flew off.
Out in the field, saw three individuals riding red hologram beasts and were moving fast.
"Can you two remind me why I followed you again?". Orpheus asked.
"Bestman and Hilda convinced you to follow us when we told them the reason we came to visit you, this happened few moments ago ". Seraph answered.
"Plus, you said you want revenge on your father and Zenobios and being with us might increase the chance". Larmore said.
"Sigh, i know, i just wanted to be sure if leaving the Fairies of Fiilar would be alright ". Orpheus said with a sad face.
"Bestman told you the Fairies of Fiilar are strong enough to wade off an attack, plus your monster plants will deter them, so worry not, they are going to be alright ". Larmore said.
Riding in front of the other two, Seraph was really anxious and worried about Igor and Barbara after hearing the deeds of Zenobios, she was moving fast, very fast. They are heading to the nearest location the research center is, the one closest to the city the dragon rampaged.
"Seraph, what's the rush, Barbara and Igor can take care of themselves". Larmore said.
"Take care of themselves? Against someone who uses a spirit blessed arrow, not to talk about the fact that he is also in contract with a devil, they can't last a minute against someone like him, he is too much for them". Seraph replied.
"Zenobios also has a contract with a devil? I'm not surprised, he was a lunatic to begin with and i am sure he has something to do with this plague and why there hasn't been any cure ". Orpheus said.
After traveling for some time, a small blue bird seems to be circling around and chirping at them. Larmore noticed this and said
"Aye Seraph, could you extend your arm, that bird seems to be sent to us".
Seraph listened and extended her left arm for the bird to perch. After perching, Seraph could see a small paper tied at the leg of the bird, she untied the paper to read but simultaneously, the blue bird dissipated into dust.
"Seems you have done your job, let's read the message you delivered". Barbara said.
Reading the paper, Seraph paused her pace, Orpheus and Larmore also stopped to hear what she has to say about the message.
"They said they are at the research center that is close to northern lights city, and the personnel's there said they are ready to work with us and also have alot of gist for us... This is Barbara isn't it ". Seraph said.
"Yes, but why are they in northern lights city, that's up north in the orc's district, that is pretty far from where we last depart, did they check the ones close to them, like the one at the hinterland of this city?". Larmore said.
"Anyway, anyhow, let's move we can't waste any time ". Seraph said.
"Calm down young lady, since they sent that message, they are pretty alright". Larmore said jokingly.
All three of them turned back and headed to another direction, en route to northern lights city.

In a dark room, filled with shelves of books and mauled bodies of beasts and people. At the middle of the room, a magic circle was drawn with numerous inscriptions and runes written on it and candles, placed in five points were lit.
On the magic circle, five individuals dressed in black hooded rope stood at the edges where the candles were placed, they were performing some ritual.
"Bruggen, are you sure you saw that book with that young man?". One hooded person said.
"Affirmative, i have a skill called 'piercing sight', i can see items hidden in bodies". One of the hooded person replied.
"How were they able to get that book, i thought we placed barrier in that place ". A hooded person said.
"The barrier must have weakened due to that dragon's egg ". Another hooded person said.
"So what are we going to do, if they know about us and what we do and they decide not to join, what shall we do?". Another hooded person asked.
"They are just like us, they signed contract with Valier, there is a high chance that they will join us ". The hooded fellow who replied before replied once more.
"And if they don't?". One hooded fellow asked.
"It no problem, we will just sabotage their work like we did in the time past and clear them of their existence". The hooded fellow replied again.
"Very well Bruggen, let's watch them and see how things play out ".
