Liara sat in her tent, looking at her brother's severed hand.It's been an hour since Ryan was kidnapped
"If I find him before three days have passed, his hand can be reattached to the element of light."
Jeffrey entered. She asked him quickly,
"Have you found them?"
Jeffrey shook his head.
"No."
"I think it would be best if you used that ability, Commander."
She nodded in agreement.
"It will take me some time to activate it."
The ability she would use was a level six ability, and she was at level five of the lightning element.
The ability was called Spark Echo and would use Ryan hand to activate it.
When a part of an Elements user's body is cut off, that part retains a trace of the spark, and there are abilities that allow this trace to be tracked.
As for Liara, she knew of a Level 6 ability in the Lightning element, "spark echo," and to activate it she had to concentrate intensely and also find Ryan before her spark was depleted.
Fortunately, the intruders hadn't left the city yet.
Because she had imagined the worst-case scenario when she found Ari and Ryan hand by her side, she sent her soldiers to surround the city.
Therefore, if they had tried to escape, her soldiers would have found them, so she was certain they were hiding somewhere.
'Now I have to find them. I don't know what they will do to rayen'
Now she needed to concentrate. She cleared her mind, touched Ryan hand, and then released a precise electrical pulse.
Then the pulse enters the spark echo, which is the remaining spark energy in the severed hand.
And at the moment of contact, he began to draw a line from the severed hand.
'My sparks are ignited quickly; it's good I have some doses.'
She rose quickly, taking Ryan's hand, and left her tent.
She called out loudly so her soldiers could hear:
"Soldiers, mount your horses and follow me"
Then she headed towards Ryan
'Wait for me'

Ryan opened his eyes, suddenly feeling pain.
"Ah"
'Where am I? The last thing I remember...'
He was taken by the attackers and moments later lost consciousness.
The last thing he remembers is being carried into the alley.
'I hope Ari is okay.'
He heard them talking about leaving her behind when they took him. This means someone was coming to the place where he confronted them.
'But where am I?'
It was in a place resembling a room, but made of earth.
'This is the work of someone with an earth element.'
He was seated on a chair and bound with chains of fire, so even the slightest movement pained him.
'I need to freeze these chains.'
His eyes widened in surprise.
'Why can't I use my element?'
Then he heard a voice from the darkness:
"Are you awake?"
The man stepped forward and lit two torches with his finger.
"Let me introduce myself properly. My name is Logan. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ryan."
He was the one who cut off his hand and the leader of the attackers.
Ryan responded in his usual cold voice:
"What do you want from me, and why can't I use my element?"
Logan smiled.
"You're a truly amazing kid, even in this situation, and you're not scared. Most people would be begging for their lives."
Ryan didn't answer him, he just looked at him with eyes full of hatred.
"Okay, okay, I'will answer you."
Logan made a chair out of fire and sat on it in front of Ryan.
"I'm just a person who carries out orders. The person who needs answers will call soon."
"I don't actually think you own it, but he insisted on bringing you."
Then he pointed to his left hand. Ryan looked at it and saw a bracelet on it.
Ryan wondered
"What's this?"
Logan replied,
"That's why you can't use your element ; it's called the inhibition bracelet."
"So you're saying you stop my element , cut off my hand, and tried to kill my sister in order to get answers I might not have it."
Logan nodded.
"Yes."
Ryan started laughing like a maniac.
"Hahahahahahaha"
Logan was surprised
"I knew you were an unusual child, but how could you laugh in a situation like this?"
Ryan looked at him.
"So what do you want me to do, cry or beg for my life? You're going to kill me anyway."
Logan asked,
"What do you mean?"
"I don't think the person I'm going to see will let me live after I see his face."
Logan agreed.
"I think you're right, he's not someone who's going to let you live, but maybe this time he'll do something out of his character."
At that moment, someone appeared behind them. Logan turned, rose from his chair, and knelt on one knee.
"I greet the second prince."
Ryan was surprised.
'The second prince?'
