"What in the world is going on?" A child asked as we all peered outside the windows and looked at the sky because of the sudden darkness that enveloped the whole city only to be met by something impossible.

"Whoah! We're in space." Zephyr said in amazement while Mother Hayne sat at one side and made the sign of the cross before beginning her prayers.

I managed to get us all safe out of the house in the woods barely, as soon as we hid behind trees, we saw men coming and the normal thing was to flee. I don't even know what was going on at all.

Just how did these humans manage to locate us? Was their plan after all wasn't just to separate us but also to abduct Mikael while we were away? Things happening right now are ridiculous. I don't know anymore if I was just dreaming or what or I just went crazy. Maybe all.

If Jack hadn't taken off Prince Janus to Idris two days back, even if it was against his will to leave us behind, we'd be in far more trouble. Good thing they were cautious enough. Besides, the prince needs all the cure he can get.

"Zephyr. Kevin's and your's other best friend is back. That damn troublemaker friend of yours is back." I turned at Mae with a frown when I heard her choice of words. Who were they talking about?

"How'd you know?" Zephyr asked with a quirked eyebrow but he seemed to be excited and had a glint in his eyes.

"That bracelet of yours is glowing. He might be tracking you already by now." The little girl said in an 'obviously' tone and my frown only went deeper. When did this sweet girl become such a smart mouth?

Zephyr held out his left wrist and sure enough, we saw a glowing red light on the bracelet made of silver he wore.

"Hmmmm. After all those months of disappearing he finally comes back. I hoped he never did." Another boy among the kids said and my curiosity only grew. Okay---I know nothing about what they were talking about. Neither did I have a clue.

"This damned demon!" Mother Hayne suddenly blurted out words she wasn't supposed to especially in front of kids when the door opened with a bang.

"Mother Hayne. No bad words." We all turned to the new comer and my eyebrows rose up when I saw an eight year old kid at the door. He had gold hair and cold icy golden eyes. Who is this?

And why the hell does he have that noble look on his face like the other twelve? He was an Azerothian, I'm sure of it with that unearthly beauty and the aura I felt coming from him. Truth be told, it was deadly powerful.

"Don't suddenly pop out from nowhere you---you insolent kid!" Mother Hayne said and she seem pissed. It's the first time I was hearing such words coming from Mother Hayne. Well, there's always a first time.

Men followed after the kid who began walking to meet the grinning Zephyr. And much to my horror and Mother Hayne's, those men looked like fighters and some yakuza men with those guns and black suit they were wearing.

"Who are you?" I asked as I pointed one of my swords that I used against Lydia in Azeroth at the boy's neck who stopped in his tracks and looked at me.

Oh, did I forget to mention that I took my twin blades with me? Anyway, I'd have enough of those armed men and their guns already. I'm starting to get pissed---no I'm already pissed.

Truth be told but I want to skin them alive. Right here, right now. They're the damn reasons that these unfortunate events are happening right now.
