Morning arrives and Kaze, Mizu, and the Twins are still shaken up about last night, though Kaze breaks the silence. "We must find out more about that tablet." Kaze states as he looks towards Sato. "Lord Kaze, I have a contact within the Adventures Guild located in Blackthorn City, let me handle finding out more information on this tablet." Kaze nods. Kaze, Mizu, and Satomi head out a little after Sato prepared to go on a long enduring journey. We see a strange looking man watching over the group as they head out. "Emet, where ever you are make sure you protect the forest while we are gone!" Satomi yells out. Kaze continues walking with purpose but is still in deep thought about their encounter with Kek, as we see Kaze's group still making their way out of the forest in hopes to find the nearest town.
Kaze wonders to himself what he should do next. He felt as if there was something strange about what Kek was there to retrieve. "Hey Mizu, do you think that guy was there to retrieve something dangerous?" Kaze asked in a confused manner "Yes, I am unsure what he is doing, but that old Orc is the guy he works for, calls himself Xoroku the Lich King" Mizu says with a serious looking voice. "Ok, well I want to regain the memories you told me I lost, so what should we do?" Kaze asks while trying to climb a tree and retrieve an apple from its branch only have the branch fall when he climbs on it crashing down. THUD! "Hey Satomi and Sato, when you two were living out in the forest, what did the fog protect?" Mizu looks over and asks the twins. "Lord Mizu, the stone that Kek retrieved was a shard of Abaddon's Tablet, a ancient artifact that is said to hold the souls of extremely powerful demons." Sato answers while the sister acts extremely timid and shy towards Mizu. "Lord Kaze?" Satomi asks "What's wrong?" Kaze with a blank stare "I remember this tablet, it is supposed to absorb life energy, essentially stealing their soul." Kaze looks distraught and then suddenly is back to his normal self. Mizu notices that Kaze's mind is going through a phase were it brings him past memories and mixes them up with his present self.
"Mizu, I do not know what is going on in my head, but something tells me we cannot let that tablet get restored." Kaze says, and Mizu smiles "Now that's the old you, our Hero of Justice!" Mizu puts his arm around Kaze in excitement. A short while of walking and they finally reach the edge of the forest and find themselves in the adventuring city of Blackthorn, from the shadows of an alley we see someone wielding the symbol of the Infernal Mages Corporation duck into the shadows and disappear. We go to the Headquarters of Blackthorn Branch of the Infernal Mages Corporation and see that Leo and Lance had been assigned here as a part of their probationary training period for joining Division 0, a guard burst through the door "Captain Leo, Captain Lance! They are here, just as you said they made their way through that forest to this city!" The guard is out of breath and panting. "Do not engage them, just keep watch over them." Captain Leo orders the rest of the guards. "Mizu lets check out the adventures guild, maybe they have heard something about this Kek person." Kaze says with a smile "Let's go, the sign points that way.
"They all follow the road till they come across a giant building that says "Blackthorn Adventurers Guild" Satomi asks Sato "Are we going to have to fight scary monsters?" Sato sighs "Probably you know how Lord Kaze is." Sato states. "We see two figures heading towards Kaze and Mizu. We peer back towards the large building of the Infernal Mages Guild "Where did Lance and Leo go?" Suto asks. "Sir! Look!" a member of the Corps. points. "Those morons!" Suto states as he shatters his glasses in his hand. An aura begins to swell up within him. "Now who is that?" Kaze asks, he seems to have felt a familar presence. "Shit! Leo lets let them go for now, Commander Suto will not be happy about us getting involved." Leo and Lance run back towards the head quarters as Kaze and the group continue to head towards their destination. They stop in front of a large building with an intimidating aura floating about. "Mizu, someone strong is within this building." Kaze states as he slowly pushes the door open.
