DATE: 15TH VERI 1490

Claessen ended his conversation with the King by saying, "On 15th Veri then. I will transmit my soul to the other side."

When he and his bodyguard Kasarus walked towards the exit of the castle, he held up his right hand. And pulled up his index finger, "Remember, this is if I have seen Marlow's domain" he held up his thumb, "If I have seen hans's layer" his ring finger, "If i have seen nothing."

"Will it kill you?"

Claessen put his hand on Boran's shoulder, "Take care of yourself..."

"...I dont know."

"What if it does? Who then, will be the leader?"

"You will negotiate with the King. Tell him what I will have seen. And move forward with the plan I have laid out."

He walked in the circle, and in the blink of an eye, dark flames engulfed him and he was burnt to a crisp. Claessen's body fell onto the ground.

Boran ran towards his father, but he could not recognize his face anymore. Boran screamed at the top of his lungs as tears streamed down his cheeks. Kasarus inspected closer, and found the index finger pointed upwards.

He said, "Get up, Boran. We have no time to waste."
