Okuagu spun in the air before he landed on his feet; his hands covered in a dark substance that refused to come of his hand. Lee and Boaruss stared at Okuagu in horror before they gestured for him to look into a slab of ice that Lee had conjured in front of him. Okuagu looked in horror at the white haired youth that stared back at him with saggy eye lids. "Try and get rid of the dark matter on your hand before you turn into a pile of old skin and bones" Lee said before he shattered the ice mirror. Okuagu conjured a bright orange flame in his palms as he struggled to possibly burn of the dark matter, thankfully the substance burned off to expose his palm that was still covered in some wrinkles. Okuagu after taking a look at his still white hair sighed "Do you think my hair will eventually return to its original black color? "Eventually your life-force will return and in turn will return your youthful vitality" Lee replied with a shrug. "Also it's shocking that Boaruss wasn't affected from the attacks".Boaruss simply pointed at his now grey eye brows before he asked a question that had been bothering him "So Okuagu you can now fly? Okuagu after rubbing his chin for some time replied with a smile "It's just something that I had come up at the point though I can't still fly, I can only maintain lift for a short amount of time and only from an airborne state. "But what will the reaper need the imps for? Okuagu said out loud for it was now obvious that the reaper had somehow taken control of the trolls and consequently ordered them to take the imps for reasons best known to it. "Can reapers possess creatures? Asked Boaruss. "I haven't heard of one doing that but it doesn't seem impossible for a creature that is weirdly demonic to find it hard to possess creatures of inferior souls like trolls" Lee replied though he wondered what the imps could offer it. "Well that means everything is going according to plan" Okuagu added while he took a white lock of his hair before he sighed. "Then we will just have to wait here for the rest of the team". Boaruss and Lee nodded in agreement.Gale limped after the girls as he struggled to catch up. The girls on the other hand seemed to have forgotten about the assassin as they discussed freely on matters that only girls could understand. "I know right it does seem that the very act of chivalry has disappeared" Diamond said as she laughed through her mask. Rose and the rest laughed as they shared their views on the topic."Ahem! Gale coughed momentarily interrupting their discussion. "What? Asked all the girls who were not at all pleased to be interrupted from their discussion. "You do know that we are almost nearing the imp's supposed location and as such I will suggest that we should be a little bit more vigilant" Gale fumed inwardly glad to be at last granted audience. "I guess you have a point though I wonder how the others are faring with those trolls? Rose said out loud as she placed her hand against her ear in order to hear any noise that may belong to any threat. Emerald shrugged "Well they should be able to hold on until we provide backup if the trolls prove to be tougher than the ones we faced earlier. "So Rose if I may ask why did your group venture into the labyrinth? Gale asked leaning on the ice staff like some wise old man. Rose after looking at her group smiled "We came here in search of ancient weapons that could boost the status of our clan and increase our military might". "That sounds wonderful and all but can't the payment from your clients enable your clan to employ gifted dwarf craftsmen that can instead forge superior weapons" Gale pointed out for that was what the silver eagles did to access superior weapons that gave them an edge over their opponents. Catherine replied with a shake of her head "You cannot expect dwarves to be professional and keep their client's information to themselves". "All dwarves care more about money rather than the confidentiality of buyers and as such our enemies could know more about our military might". "You are pretty bright for a man of your age no wonder they allowed you to be your squad's leader" Rose added with a laugh. Gale simply shrugged as they pass through some fur curtains that covered the path to the ribcage and hopefully the location of the abducted imps.
