Its been around 1000 years since the wars in the other kingdoms started and due to the magical defences at sea and the valley being confusing and a death trap no one has tried reaching Reinlas's kingdom for safe harbour or attacking but Reinlas has still managed to find out through his magic of a growing terror during the war Itanroras kingdom is apart of. Reinlas has still been tending to his kingdoms matters as normal with his wife and brother by his side no matter the task. it is the afternoon and Reinlas has been out helping people whether it be fighting off the poisonous creatures or helping build a house or three he's there helping and he stands near the docks of Reinholm when his wife walks up.

"Hello my dear husband" Linra says

"Hello my love what brings you here?" Reinlas asks

"I am here to see you as I have noticed your feeling towards the wars in the west and need to know what troubles you so" Linra says

"I have sensed a great terror in the battlefield on Itanroras side this warrior can use their magic almost as powerful as a first generation member  but they are not of the first I can sense that much" Reinlas says

"That shouldn't be possible no person of the second or any generation after should be able to reach that kind of mastery and raw power because of the pure power you and the rest of the first have" Linra says

"Indeed that is why this warrior worries me because of his power and that Itanrora Is even letting him fight" Reinlas says

"What do you mean my love?" Why wouldn't he have this warrior fight?" Linra says

"This warrior he kills without remorse, destroys whole villages, divides families, takes villages and rules with an iron fist of the ones he didn't destroy and uses the darkest of magic" Reinlas says

"This warrior is horrible, how could Itanrora or Yaitera allow this to happen?" Linra asks

"I truly do not know my love all I know is many fear him and those who meet him on the battlefield will not leave the battlefield alive or whole" Reinlas says

"This warrior and that war cannot spill over to our kingdom we must ensure all our defences are ready" Linra says

"I already have ever since I sensed this warrior I have been making sure our defences would work, Something about him is familiar though but I cannot say what" Reinlas says

"Whatever it is does not matter he's is a horrible being with his ruthlessness and if he comes here we will stop him" Linra says

"Agreed we just need more information on this bastard" Reinlas says

"My love look at me we will but first let us look after our peoples immediate problems and just be with each other" Linra says

"You always know what to say beautiful" Reinlas says happily

The two go off together to aid the people and check the defences, they come across a new village being built and help with construction and getting guards there to train new ones.

A few days later...

Reinlas is on a balcony at the castle overlooking the city and into the distance, the view is beautiful the shining water clear as day and the city bustling people and clean all around.

"This view it really shows how far we've actually come brother" Reinlas says

"Indeed it does brother, around 1150 years I think and I feel proud of how far our people have come under your rule" Farenhale says

"Hey I didn't do this alone you and Linra as well as the people themselves have done much" Reinlas says

"Hehe true I'm just glad is all" Farenhale says

"As am-"

Reinlas is cut off with painful visions of the war in the west, he sees a warrior clad in black cutting through an endless amount of soldiers who have no chance against him he leaves them dead by single strike, cut to pieces, or alive but dying in painful manners as he strings them up for torture. This was the warrior that Reinlas had sensed before this is proven further when back up for the people he just slaughtered arrive and he burns them all leaving them to burn to death or those who miraculously survive he tortures by stabbing into the weakest parts of flesh that were burnt. Reinlas sees him and his soldiers go to a defenceless village and begins to slaughter and torture everyone there for no reason other than.

"They have nothing but entertainment value" The warrior proclaims to his smiling soldiers in a deeply shrewd voice almost demon like in nature

The vision finally ends while Reinlas lays on the ground sickened by what he just saw. He's replaying the evets in his head though he doesn't want too he does seeing it again is worse cause he knows that if he comes to this kingdom this fate will befall his people. By this point Linra and Farenhale have kneeled down to check on him.

"Reinlas are you alright!?" Farenhale asks in a panic

"Please my love tell me you're okay" Linra says sad and confused

"I am... I am fine..." Reinlas says gasping for air still sickened and exhausted from see that vision

"You do not look or sound it what happened my love" Linra says hugging him slightly as to not make it even harder to breathe

"I saw... the war in the west and I saw the warrior I spoke of to you my love the things he did, that I witnessed I am sickened by the very thought and I had to watch powerless to do anything while he did ALL of it" Reinlas says still shaken 

"What did he do?" Farenhale asks

"Please do not ask me to describe what all he did, all you need to know is he killed many in brutal and torturous ways for entertainment. I need to rest" Reinlas says getting up and leaving to go to bed

"This is deeply concerning Farenhale" Linra says slightly shaken

"Indeed why would Itanrora and Yaitera have this person in there ranks even if its just to make sure he isn't used against them they should stop him or something" Farenhale says getting angered by the whole ordeal

"If he is that terrifying and powerful we need to make sure the valley cannot be entered by someone of even his power right?" Linra asks

"You're right, heh you got the same kind of brain Reinlas has and you may save more lives with it, go to him I'll take care of that" Farenhale says

Linra goes inside to check on Reinlas while Farenhale speeds off towards the valley city and make improvements to the defences. Reinlas while he slept managed to block the memory of those events while he slept but one vision snuck though but it wasn't apart of the other vision he had this one showed the valley city in ruins but he knew that wasn't right as he sensed the city was fine as was his brother just what did this mean.
