Back in the human kingdom Liam was working on a piece of equipment it was a metal plate with a lightning bolt in the middle with runes on the out side on the back of the plate there was a engraving of a beast that was hard to describe
'I hope they like this it should be helpful ' Liam thought to himself just then he heard the bell of his shop standing up he went to the counter " welcome t-" Liam didn't get to finish what he said because a fist flew at him he tried moving back but he trips the fist missed
He looked at the people in his shop with terror " you missed idiot knock him out quickly we need to go" one said as Liam's heart raced ' calm down you have made something for this just need to get to it' Liam tried to calm himself down as he quickly crawled towards his work station just as he got there everything went black
" grab him quickly we need to get to the meet up spot " they grabbed Liam taking him out of the shop

In another part of the city inside a armor shop at a table in the back a man was sipping some tea with white robes on and a hood covering his head " I wouldn't come in here if I were you " the man said in a French accent the five men behind him were shocked to hear his words but they still advanced
Suddenly the floor below on caved In slightly as a gas got blasted into there face knocking him out " I did warn you "the man stood up with his cup of tea kicking his chair behind him which caught another one off guard knocking him out too
Another one of the kidnappers were already swinging at him with a club the man in white bent backwards dodging it he then threw the rest of the tea into the kidnappers eyes burning them then he grabbed the tea pot on the table slamming it onto his head knocking him out the ten pot broke though " what a waste of good tea"
The last two kidnappers were stunned seeing this " we need to get back up " one said turning to run out but just as he did a little brown ball rolled in front of him he looked down his eye go wide but instead of a explosion thick smoke started coming out of it covering the whole room in thick white
" you can't leave yet " the man who tried to run heard a voice behind him he turned just to see his partner fall to the ground " fuck this " he took of running were he thought the exit was when he thought he was about to get out a fist suddenly appeared in front of his face and everything went dark
When the smoke cleared there were five people knocked out only a man in white robes with a hood on stood awake he walked out the store making sure it was clear
When the five men awoke they were pissed about what happened but there was nothing they could do at that point it was past the meet up time they had to go hope the other team did better
" what happened to you guys and were is the package " the man who tried to run came forward " we weren't able to get him he was stronger then we thought if that was our guy " the teams looked at each other for a bit " at least we got ours hopefully boss and the prince will be happy with that " the other team leader said they both then made there way to meet up
As they were leaving they didn't notice the hooded figure near by listening to them ' I guess I can't stay here anymore I need to see the princess ' the man thought before leaving to his destination

...3 weeks later...
In the elven kingdom the queen and king were eating breakfast " show yourself" the king suddenly says as a man in white moved out of the shadows not far away somehow it kept him hidden from the naked eye " sorry to intrude on your breakfast but I believe something bad is about to happen I need to see the princess and ghost quickly I couldn't find them" the man in white said
The queen and king recognized who it was surprised to see him here knowing it was probably important for him to come personally the queen got to the point " they left to the other continent to gain an alliance with the beastmen there they have been gone for sometime "
The man in white clicked his tongue " do you have a ship I can use to get there quickly " the queen though for a little bit then nodded
" yes we do I will have it prepared and send a little back up with you just incase "
The man in white bowed " thank you your majesty I take my leave then I have a couple things to do in preparation of the departure " then the man in white walked out the queen and king looked at each other " I hope they are alright " the queen say taking her husband's hand " me too my dear " he said looking into the ceiling

At the same time in a dungeon far way at the empire's capital a young man with dark skin was bound being tortured by two other men
" just do what we want we already know you can do it we saw it when he went through your mind I want that asshole who has been attacking my empire and killed my nephew just do it or you won't like what comes next "
The dark skined man was bruised with cuts all over but Liam stayed quiet not wanting to hurt his friend and benefactor the emperor shook his head " fine be that way maybe you talk after this " he motions outside to a guard who dragged in a dark skin female who was middle aged
Liam's eyes widened " I thought you might need a little push so I had her caught too now we can do this the easy way or the hard way the choice is yours I don't even have a problem with you I just want that prick who came to my empire to mess with it and over throw me " the emperor said walking over to a burning furnace with a iron poker inside he took it out the thing was red hot
Walking over to the middle aged woman pointing it at her " this is your last chance to just do it before it gets personal " still not hearing anything other than the squirming of the woman and her muffled pleading " fine " the emperor moved the poker near the woman face as she tried to pull away
"Stop I'll do it just leave my mother alone " Liam finally said with his head hung low the emperor smiled at this dropping the poker he picked up the middle aged woman " good I'm glad you could see reason but just incase I'll be keeping her close you should get it done soon I'm not a very patient man "
Liam looked down " I will need a proper workspace to do what you want and a lot of rare materials " Liam had tears in his eyes knowing he has to betray the one person who took a chance on him when no one else would to protect the only family he had left
The emperor motions for the guy beside him to come forward " tell everything you need to him and he will get it done " a man who looks to be in his late twenties came forward with a pen and parchment Liam let out a heavy sign " I'm sorry princess please forgive me I don't have a choice try to understand " he whispered accepting his fate he can't let his mother die she is the last bit of family he has plus she was the only one who encouraged him when he was young even when everyone turned on him because of the accident

Back in the elven kingdom the hooded man in white robes walked over to a fairly big ship but you could tell it was made for speed " so your the mysterious man the queen wanted me to follow who are you and how do you know the princess and ghost " the man heard a female voice coming from the ship it was a little scratchy looking over It was lazza " I'm just a friend trying to help them who are you "
Lazza looked at the man not sure what to make of him but something told her she could trust him " I am lazza the first protector they appointed to guard them and the kingdom there are two others but they stayed back to deal with any problems that come up" the man in white was a little surprised to hear this that goes double because she is a goblin they are usually hated by humans the hooded figure smiled ' I guess I was right about him he isn't normal ' he thought
Holding out his hand " it's nice to meet you lazza " he says lazza was a bit taken back by the friendliness but she still to his hand " yes it's nice to meet you too let's hurry the queen said it was important we get there as fast as we can " the she started getting the ship ready to depart with the help of the hooded man it wasn't long before they were out to sea
