"What do you mean by Eldritch Menagerie? That place does not exist!" Aiden said with a sharp voice.
"That place exists, and we are going there," Eiera stated.
Aiden's face had a mix of expressions. He was confused and angry at the same time. "But, how? I have spent years of my life searching for Eldritch Menagerie. Even I, a Prince, couldn't find that place. How come you know where it is?"
"YOU SAID NO MORE QUESTIONS!" Eiera's anger had reached its breaking point. "Ask Kai directly if you want to know about Eldritch Menagerie."
After hearing Eiera's words, Aiden looks at Rin and asks her. "You know about Eldritch Menagerie, right? Can you tell me about it?"
Rin replied, "Actually, only my Brother knows where it is."
After Rin's response, Aiden looked at Luna, who was floating next to him. "You're a fairy, the last of your kind. You must know about Eldritch Menagerie."
"Thank you for reminding me that there's no one left of my kind," Luna said playfully. "Sadly, I also don't know about Eldritch Menagerie."
"How come you are a fairy! Fairies are supposed to be the guardians of our realm. They know everything." Aiden stated.
Before Luna could respond, Eiera interfered. "She doesn't remember anything. Her memories were erased by the magician that sealed her."
"So, your friend is the only one. Who knows what the Eldritch Menagerie is and where it is." Aiden firmly said.
Eiera responded, "Yes, Kai is the only one who knows about Eldritch Menagerie. If you want to know about Eldritch Menagerie, I suggest you save your questions till we find Kai." Aiden acknowledged Eiera's opinion and didn't say another word.
************************************
Hours later, the sun had set, and the night was young. The group still following the Eternal Blade in the shining light of the moon. The temperature was quite the opposite of the morning. It was cold.
Aiden couldn't hold his frustration, "Where The Heck Is He! " He shouted.
Luna said, "Shouting won't help Aiden." Eiera said in her mind, "Why do we have to be with him. he is so irritating. Where are you, Kai!!"
Just as Eiera said to herself, Rin pointed her finger towards the sky and said. "Look! There's smoke coming from there."
Everyone looked at the direction the smoke was coming, Luna said. "That's Kai, let's go."
Both Eiera and Aiden urge their horses to move faster. Moments later, the group had reached the place where the smoke was emerging. They saw Kai sitting on the sand next to a fire with his eyes closed, still wearing his armor and the mask. The Eternal Blade flew towards Kai with extreme speed. Kai opened his eyes, his bright red eyes shining in the moonlight as he grabbed the Eternal Blade with his left hand.
Aiden, Eiera, and Rin dismounted their horses and slowly walked towards Kai. Kai stood up from the sand and started walking toward them.
As the group stood face to face, Luna flew over to Kai's side. Eiera began, "Kai..."
Before Eiera could say any more words, Aiden interrupted her and asked Kai. "What do you know about Eldritch Menagerie?"
Kai didn't respond to Aiden instead. He looked at Eiera standing in front of her. His eyes were demanding answers. "We had to tell him he just won't stop asking."
Kai then slowly turned towards Aiden, "I'll tell you about Eldritch Menagerie later." The coldness of Kai's breath released from Kai's mask and hitting Aiden's face as Kai was speaking. "Answer me something by any. Your father sent spies after us."
Aiden confidently said, "No, my father, the King of Celestria, won't do such a thing."
"I see," Kai said. As Kai said, his grip on the Eternal Blade got tightened.
Aiden looked at Eiera and said in a low voice, "Is something wrong with him."
Eiera didn't respond to Aiden, Aiden then turned his neck to look towards Kai, but Kai wasn't there. Kai disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Where did he go!" Aiden said in a high tone.
Eiera immediately responds, "I don't know. I was standing with you." Eiera then turned to Rin, who was standing on her left side. "Rin, did you see Kai?"
Rin replied, "No, I didn't see where Brother went."
Luna giggled and said, "Look behind."
Eiera, Rin, and Aiden turned around. They saw Kai standing there next to Aiden's carriage. "I'm going to count to three if you don't show yourself. I'll kill every single one of you." Kai stated in a loud and clear voice.
Kai began counting, "1...2.." Kai swung his Eternal Blade in the air before counting to three.
As Kai swung the Blade, blood started to spray on Kai from the air. In just moments, Kai and the Eternal Blade were covered in blood. Then suddenly, a man materialized in front of Kai. The man was wearing a lightweight armor, and the blood was gushing from his chest.
Kai used his right leg to kick the man's chest. The man fell to the ground with his back hitting the ground first. Kai used his right hand to wipe the blood from his mask and said, "My eyes see everything. Still don't want to show yourself."
