Heading towards the dungeon near the castle under Alvera, getting closer towards the dungeon. But as they ran there was something on Jin's mind, something he couldn't let curiosity slip away from him during the first time he learned about Gale and Ralian's group. Jin suddenly stopped before going in as he turned around and looked at the others and took off his mask.
"Why did you stop?" Dani questioned Jin
"Before we go in and see Venny. There has been something stirring in my head" then looking towards Gale and Ralian.
"I need to know your full story"
"what?!" Gale and Ralian are confused by his question
"Jin why now of all days, you could've asked us anytime, and all of a sudden here and now?!"
"Well it just occurred to me that you've both been travelling for so long. Like me, Dani, and heck even Venny, you both could've been into conflict with one another"
"You said that we've fought multiple times, over the most idiotic thing imaginable"
"That's kind of true, but it was not between a brutal fight, we just have short arguments that's it"
"Really Ralian... short arguments?"
"But if you want to here our story, then if you want our trust too then we'll tell you both".
Ralian is the first to start telling her story as a Druid of kind, she's was quickly shunned by her people for being a bit ferocious to the other Druids but though Ralian is very proficient in using Druid magic she didn't get the respect and recognition she deserves till one day adventure deep out from her hometown she finds herself separated from her Druid homeland and into the outer world, with no idea how to create a door back into her home world she adventure the land of the outer world visiting many villages keeping a low profile so other people don't suspect her as a Druid and listening to other conversations as she would eavesdrop to get more informations about Druids even going into libraries trying to find a way home. That's when later in Ralian's own journey she soon stumbled upon Gale's group, alongside Hazard, Yamma and two other members. When she first met them she was hesitant at first keeping a distance from them and sticking to the shadows as she watched them from a far until she was caught by Yamma. Ralian quickly surrendered as Yamma brings her to Gale's group she was quickly praised for keeping a low profile by Gale and was also appointed as their newest member to the NIghtly Crew as Gale walked towards Ralian and raised their fist towards Ralian as Gale was signalling to connect her fist with Gale's fist. As they bumped their fist it signifies that she fully joined the group.
"So back then Yamma and Hazard were still a part of your party. But who were the other two" Dani asked curiously
"Those two were in our party briefly but they've helped us many was in many possible"
"Sounds like they were there for support"
"Yeah I guess you're right"
"Anyways we got to know about Ralian but what about you Gale".
Gale quickly stiffens when the though of talking about their past, but as Gale looks at the faces of the friends Gale had made in a short while Gale gives in, but may have to lie a bit about their past. Then Gale takes a deep breath before telling their story but suddenly they hear guards coming.
"Great of all times"
"Let me handle this" as Dani was about to confront the guards Jin stops her
"No Dani allow me" then suddenly with a wave of his hand moving downwards the entrance of the hallway begin to collapse.
"what's happening?!" As Gale, Ralian and Dani feeling the hallway shift and move they all witness the ceiling crumbling.
"this ability is familiar to that earth caster, and sometimes I like to modify it with my own touch. but those constructs you sometimes see, is a Akaumo's original."
"quick we need to move!"
Before they could move with a flick of Jin's fingers he quickly repelled Gale, Ralian and Dani away till the ceiling collapsed and Jin quickly followed. And with the hallway block for the guards, they all proceed to walk further into the dungeon walking all through all the cells till one of the prisoners they see has a familiar with his hair black yet with red strands though had greased and messed throughout the years of imprisonment yet his eyes still glow red yet brighter than blood.
"Well if it isn't Captain Vixen, and Akaumo, how's it going" Venny greeting as usual, Dani trying not to give Venny any attention as he is missing an arm have ragged clothing, and chained to the wall where his only sunlight is the window above him.
"Oh come on Dani your giving me the silent treatment, you haven't visit me in years and this is what I get. And now I see two others that had replaced us"
"Venny looks like you haven't changed as well" Jin then stand in front of Dani before taking off his mask. "Hey Venny I know it's been a while, and I'll be the one say this, but there are scars you left behind that still affected everyone till this day"
Then Venny started to laugh "Jin you know me too well, scars are a symbol of resilience and triumph, you should be glad I gave you this life"
But Jin punched the bars very hard till it showed a huge dent "enough jokes Venny! Stop pretending you have anything under control. Why do you think we're here"
"Oh is it about the new great mage of Alvera. Yeah that fraud tried to siphon my powers away"
"What!?"
"The power to take away another person power away I've read about this in one of the libraries I visited and its very rare to see someone with that kind of power"
A book all about spells Ralian had read once during her adventures in the over world "good point Ralian but if the great mage tired to siphon Venny's blood magic away no doubt the wants mine wind magic as well"
When Jin uses the wind to flow into the lock as he unlocks it in an instant "Why did you do that"
"As of now we know the great mage wants power, and probably won't stop till they have our powers we can not let that happen"
as he continues to unlock all the chains keeping Venny held captive "perceptive as always Jin"
"Now's not the time Venny we need to get out of here".
Then suddenly they all hear a strange voice in the distance "yes get out while can, it might be you last"
It was the great mage of Alvera already into their presence "crap he already found us. Everyone stand your ground"
"Why so serious. You're all going to be in the same place, why bother trying" as they cast a spell that instantly knocks everyone out.
"Guards lock them up" as the guards carry Gale and Ralian away the great mage sighs in relief.
"Dani Vixen... Venny Lensharth... and Jin-sae Akaumo. At long last the age of The Crusader has finally come to an end"
As one used to be called the great mage cast teleportation spell around the three as they were teleported away to his lair. While the guards take Gale and Ralian's weapons as they were put into a cellar perhaps to let them rot their for all their life. But from another room where a few guards are taking care of the debris, there was someone watching from the shadows as smoke suddenly emits guards quickly prepared themselves, but there weapons were quickly shattered then were knocked unconscious as the stranger in the cloak rolled down there hood revealing himself to be Ezrael Fendrick.
