Yo so Story Time my cousin was over and I had let borrow my phone my only piece of technology at the moment, he's 4 years old I had lent him my phone for about an hour I don't know why I just did anyway an hour later I asked him for it and he pointed outside my door and I got a little worried so I open the door and walk out side only to see my phone completely destroyed I literally froze and stared for about a minute then I looked at him I wanted to strangle him till death but I didn't instead I picked him up and locked him in a dark room for about 2 min I would've kept him there longer but his mother stopped me and because he kept yelling and she questioned me and I showed her why then she paid for repairs or a new phone I really don't know I still have all my data but the phone look obliterated like just dead it wouldn't do nothing but yea that's why I haven't updated but with that out of the way let's jump into this

Vernal: Raven, we have a problem.

Raven: What is it?

Vernal: Salem's found us.

Raven's eyes widen briefly.

Raven: Salem... okay.

Vernal: Four of her followers are waiting to speak with you.

Raven: (standing up) Right. We planned for this... Bring me my helmet.

Outside of her tent, Cinder Fall, Arthur Watts, Emerald Sustrai, and Mercury Black all stand and wait while the bandits surround them, eyeing them carefully. Raven steps out of her tent with her mask on as she addresses her bandits.

Raven: I don't recall inviting so many guests into our home. Either I'm losing my memory, (raising her voice) or you've all lost your spines!

Cinder: Don't be too upset with them, Raven. Your men simply recognized the power of a Maiden when they see it. (her eye glows and trails fire) Which is why we'd like to have a word with you.

Raven: (addressing the bandits) Leave us. Pack your things, then break down camp. We're moving.

The bandits all leave to do so.

Watts: Little late to run and hide. You've been on our master's list for some time, so you must understand that we cannot allow you to slip away.

Raven: I know all about your master, but I don't believe we've met.

Mercury: We're the guys you should be afraid of.

Raven: I doubt anyone should be afraid of you.

Mercury: Oh yeah? Tell that to--

Cinder: Quiet.

Mercury relents.

Raven: That's what I thought.

Cinder: I'm Cinder Fall. This is my associate, Arthur Watts, and my disciples, Emerald and Mercury.

Raven: Two children you've tricked into following you, a disgraced Atlesian scientist, and a Fall Maiden with a surname so appropriate, she probably picked it herself. Something tells me you've got more than a slight case of egomania, is that about right?

Mercury and Emerald exchange a brief look, while Watts clears his throat.

Watts: Technically, I was also a doctor, but I must say, the rest was spot on.

Cinder: Aren't you perceptive.

Raven: It's what's kept me alive.

Cinder: I'm afraid the only reason you're still alive is because you have something our master wants. Of course, if I'm wrong...
