(Somewhere in Mirabelle...)

"Boss! Apparently Jake has returned! He has escaped inquisition before now he has returned, apparently bringing in new people to town. Due to the them defeating the mutated Leirgas that we have released as an excuse for getting children in this town, the town might realize that it's not the work of Leirgas for the children's dissapeareances."

"What do we do now Boss?" 

"Capture Jake so that he can properly be interrogated if he is an Alpha member or not. If you could also capture some of the people with him, then it would be better. Form the necessary team for capturing them. I heard that they are formidable warriors if they were able to defeat the Leirgas. Be cautious and quick with your capture. Do not bother to return if you don't have them."

A man came rushing in to the room.

"Boss! We have just heard a report!" The man said.

"What is it?" The Boss ask.

"Apparently, Jake and the rest of his team has disappeared suddenly during the night. Our spies say that no one in their team was in the Adventurers Guild by the morning." 

"Dammit! Make exploration groups and scour the surrounding area for them. Now go! They couldn't have gone far." 

"Yes sir. Men, let's move!"

The Beta Cultists now scrambled for their new mission.

----------

(In the hidden Alpha base outside Mirabelle)

"We have just a report that Beta cultists have been busy searching for us. We will lay low for a while and not leave this underground base. Those who wish to become Changelings, drink the Leirga blood and my blood while you stil l can. But before you do, make a solemn vow that you would only use this spell for good. Understood?"

"Understood!" The Alpha members replied. 

Everyone actually drank the blood of the Leirgas and the blood of Merci in the span of 3 days."

Leirga blood is nasty being dranked raw but as long as we have tasted Leirga blood and Merci's blood, we will have a chance to be Changelings. Some people, even after fulfilling all the requirements of being a changeling, cannot become one, if they cannot perfectly understand how a creatures mind works. They would need to convince themselves to be the creature that they are trying o convert to. Studying them isn't enough. There is also a risk of getting crazy after transforming into a creature and failing to return. That's why it is advised to study the creature you are transforming into with and mimic their movements, eating habits, the way they live and fight. Everything about them.

"Everyone, it seems the Beta cultists have retreated. We can now leave Mirabelle. We have bribed the town guards so that we can leave after a day or two.

"We will be travelling to the desert north of the City of Frendo to hunt and level up strong desert monsters. Those who wish an easy life, stay here in Mirabelle as adventurers. Those who wish to become more, raise your hands."

Everyone raised their hands except the Leirga breeders and caretakers. 

"Excellent. We will all be going to the desert base and train there for a while. When some of you return here, the Leirga breeders and caretakers would then go to the desert base and train and be replaced by some of you." 

"We would be using the alternate roads to go directly to the Khabian Desert and bypassing Frendo. Frendo today is on lockdown and dangerous. Apparently, the Beta cultists are hunting the Alpha members relentlessly." Jake said.

"For now, dismissed!"
