 Chapter 4 Rivals and Friends 

 Allan: " Dammit ! It seems this is going to be a long day ! "

"What's the problem ? "

Allan: "Everybody, step back a bit ! "

He starts a kind of magic ritual.

Allan: "Lissa, Trix, take the woman back to the caravan and go home ! "

Allan shines more and more and then vanishes in a flash.

"What was that ?! "

Trix : "Master used a long range teleport spell. "

"What ?! Why he didn't take us with him ? "

Trix : "Long range teleport is a dangerous spell. If he misses and teleport into something solid, he can even die ! "

"Why did he use such spell ?! "

Trix : "Only one thing would make master use this spell. Emergency at home ! "

"Then we have to hurry and help him ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">We leaved the woman with the caravan and rushed to help Allan.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"I can sense flashes of Allan's energy ! He is in battle ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "I never sensed so many flashes ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"How far are we from him ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "I think we're going to reach him by tomorrow night. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"What kind of emergency is this ? And how did he know about it ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Master have telepathic contact with people at home. I don't know what is going on. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">After what seemed a decade Allan's flashes of energy stopped, but I still could sense a faint vestige of his aura.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "The battle ended ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"But at least he's still alive. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "Of course he is alive !! Master would never lose a battle ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Calm down ! This is not time for us to fight ! We're on the same side, remember ? We're both on Allan's side ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "You're right. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"We should rest now. It's almost dark already. We're not going far this tired. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"I'm going to make a tent. The force dome is on Allan's backpack. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "I don't need a tent ! All I need is my force field. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"That's cool ! So you can maintain it on even while sleeping ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "Ah.. no I can't. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Hihi ! "Come here Trix, there's enough space for the two of us. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "Thank you. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Next morning:

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"I slept like a rock ! And I' pretty stiff now.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "Hum, what ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"And it seems you're still sleeping. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Come on Trix, we have to go. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"We have to take it easy today. We know Allan is ok. If we run like yesterday, we may faint of exhaustion. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "Yeah ! You're right. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"A flash of Allan's energy ! He's in battle again ?! " Then, nothing....

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Another flash ! And it gets calm again.....

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "What is going on ? Every 15 minutes or so, we sense a small flash of Master's energy. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"It's a scattered enemy army ! Allan is finishing them one by one. Don't let your guard down ! We may find one of them at any moment. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Trix, I know it's a bit late but, do you know how to fight ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix : "No ! The only combat spell I'm good at, is force field. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">We're in a river valley among the mountains, some huge rocks and trees around makes it difficult to see at long range.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">I could ask Trix to look from above, but with no info about the enemy it's risky to be alone. And she is too scared to do a good scout job.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Fast approaching voice: "HIAAAHHHHH !!!! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"A attack !! " I pull my sword and prepare to fight !

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Just before getting in my sword's range the attacker halts !

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Black harpy (attacker): "Oops ! Sorry ! I thought you were one of those giant bugs."

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Giant bugs ?! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Black harpy: "I'm on patrol !! Nothing will threaten my family ! " She flew away.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"So the enemy are more giants insects. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Trix we have to stay alert ! The enemy can come from above too. And please, get out of my dress ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Where are this huge insects coming from ? I never heard about them. Is it possible they are one of the Chaos God 's new creation ? If so, are they getting stronger ?

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">The frequency of Allan's attacks is reducing. Good ! It means less enemies around.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Huh ! A hut ? There's someone living here ? Better see if it's ok, and alert them about the danger.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Black harpy: "HIAAAHHHHH !!!! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Black harpy "Oops ! I thought you were a bug. Hey, it's you again ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Do I look like a bug to you ?! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Black harpy: "You ? No ! But she does ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "HEEY !! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Man: "Please forgive my wife. She's extremely nervous because of those giant bugs. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Black harpy: "Honey, please get inside ! It's dangerous ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Man: "I'm ok ! And our baby too ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">The man is holding a large egg on his arms, and I see one of them is bandaged. The eggshell have a small crack too. I can say it were pretty close.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Man: "My name's Lionel, my wife is Sara, nice to meet you "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"I'm Lissa, and the little bug here is Trix. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "HEEY !! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Nice to me.. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "WATCH OUT !! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">A large boulder rolling down the mountain, smashed their hut, and could have mushed us all if Trix didn't deflected it with a force shield.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix almost faint of exhaustion, and I have to catch her to avoid her fall.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Above us on the mountain a giant beetle is preparing to bowl another rock toward us.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Sara: "DIE !!!! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Lionel, get out of here ! Take Trix with you ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Dammit ! I can't find a path to that bug ! And if I start climbing I'll be a easy target !

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Again and again, Sara's attacks against the beetle are deflected by it's thick carapace.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Sara ! Your claws can't piece it, but my sword can ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Sara: " I can't use your sword ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Then take me with you ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Sara grab me by the shoulders and we take off.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Dammit !! I hate high height !

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Drop me on it's back ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">I drop on top of the bug and hit it in the slit between two plates but less than half of my blade pierced through.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Too shallow ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">The beetle shakes violently and drop me to the ground. I dodge it's scissors but step out of the narrow platform.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Sara: "I caught you ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"We have to go higher ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Sara: "Got it ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">That feature will be useful now ! My sword's scabbard were made to be linked to it's hilt to form a long bladed spear.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Now ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">We dive on the beetle's direction from a very high height, to build up as much as possible speed.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">I hit the creature with my blade and put a foot on it's guard to change all that speed into piercing power !

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"It's dead ! Finally ! Let's find the others. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">We join Trix and Lionel and sit to rest.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Are you ok Trix ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "Yes.. I'm just.. tired ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"But that force shield was really amazing ! And sorry for calling you a bug. That was a bad joke ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Sara: "I'm saying sorry too. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "I said ! My force field.. is good ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"What bout you two ? What are you going to do now ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Lionel: "I don't know. Our home were destroyed. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"With those bugs around it's not safe here. A populated area would be a lot safer. We're heading towards Lescatie . I think it would be a good place. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Sara: "Our baby need safety ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Come with us then, I'm pretty sure Allan will not mind if you follow us. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Sara: "Who's Allan ? Your man ? Or hers ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Actually we're all together. I joined them only recently, so I'm his second wife. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Lionel: "Lucky man ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"I'd say I'm lucky for finding him. He's a wonderful man, and a great hero too ! And it's time for us to meet him ! Come with me Trix, I'll carry you back home ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Yes, I am lucky for finding Allan ! Now that I think about it, I was a bit foolish to suppose a wonderful man like Allan was single. But now that I'm getting along with Trix, I'm sure it will not be a problem !

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">It's been a while since last time I felt Allan's energy flashes. It probably means there's very few to no enemies left. And with Sara as a scout we'll hardly have more problems.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">I'm curious about Allan's home town. Does he have relatives ? Maybe I could bring some of my friends to meet them. I'm pretty sure Allan's relatives will have at least above average power.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Hey Trix, you're awake ! Feeling better ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "Yes ! Much better ! But I'm hungry. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"There's food on my backpack, pick anything you want. Just be careful to don't eat too much and have a stomach ache. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">When Trix told me that she's good on force field, it really was no joke ! Well of course, she receive Allan's energy after all ! I wonder if I'll get this strong too.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Trix, how long do you live with Allan ? And how often does he give you energy ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "Two months. munch munch munch "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Two months !! But, he already gave you a lot of energy, right ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "No ! I got a shower once, but I never had Master's energy inside me. " She gets a bit sad.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Does it means she was this strong from the beginning ?! Is she a pixie version of a arch imp ? A arch pixie ?

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">And, is Allan really this cold about sex ?! Now I'm worried ! No ! I have to be more confident in myself ! I will make Allan change ! I will make him realize what he is loosing !

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Sara: "There's a bug ahead ! Looks like it's dead."

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">We approach a huge smelly cockroach twice the size of a elephant, with a large burning mark where it should be a head.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "I hate cockroaches !! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">As we advance we start to see the extent of the war that happened here. Over a hundred dead wasps and ants, large areas of burned forest, house-sized spiders, beetles even larger than the one we fought, a mantis about the size of five aligned carriages horses included. A devastation second only to the historic tentacle forest destruction !

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Sara: "What happened here ?! Looks like they were exterminated by the demon army itself ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"This is Allan's doing ! I can sense vestiges of his energy. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Sara: " What ?!!! But, he wasn't alone right ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"I don't know, but most of the residual energy here is his, no doubt about it ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "I think I will throw up ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">We leave the battlefield (and Trix's last meal) heading towards Allan's energy, and only after walking for a while we leave its stench behind.

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Are you better now Trix ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "Yes ! I'm happy ! We're close ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"Yeah, we're pretty close now ! You know Trix, when I joined you and Allan, I was really concerned about my future. But now that we're getting along, I'm sure that to be Allan's second wife will be much better than I thought at first ! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "Ah.. I have to tell you something about this... "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"What is it ? "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "Er.. You will not be able to be Master's second wife. "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">"What ?!!! Why not ?!!! "

<p class="western" lang="en-US" style="border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0cm;font-weight:normal;line-height:0.56cm;orphans:1;">Trix: "Because I'm the third. "
