Fifth Retriever - Part 3
Thomas is heading to the door of the house with the green roof, using the cane he is using to walk or any other thing. As he closely approaches the house, I am warning Ulfred about him, and Ulfred, he immediately runs to his room, and in a matter of few seconds, he came back with his weird sword, and prepared to decapitate that assassin. I am holding my wand in my left hand and I prepare it for a spell who will be soon launched into the face of that assassin.
As the assassin was about to open the door, Ulfred proceeds to hold his ground and prepare for an attack coming from that odd assassin dressed as Gentlemen coming from noble house. Garnet told me a few days a go his name it is Thomas, and is considered a very strong assassin in combat.
Thomas opens the door of the house on a single flinch, and as he did that, Ulfred jumps on him with the sword, but before I could see him decapitated, Thomas uses his cane to stop the sword.
"Pardon me, sir." says Thomas to Ulfred. "Would you like to do a walk into the forest?"
"Huh?" says Ulfred when I reach him, and I am my wand at the assassin. "Stunned!"
A ray leaves my wand, and it is traveling on a fast speed to the assassin, but before I would be able to see what is going on, we are suddenly teleported to the forest. Both of us were shocked by this, and we decided to go a few steps back from the assassin who did not even took an advantage at this situation. We both are looking surprised at each other, and then we are looking angered at the assassin.
"What is this place?!" says Ulfred feeling pissed at the assassin.
"It is a forest." says the assassin with a smirk on his hand. "You never went on a forest city boy?"
"W-Who are you?"
"Who am I? I am a man who got sent here with a mission, and you two are on my way to achieve this mission."
"We are not going to give you Garnet." I say to Thomas.
"Are you sure? Because if you give the girl to us, we will leave you alone for good."
"No." says Ulfred. "The girl remain with us. We know your Boss plan, and we will not be going to do it."
"Hm... Perhaps. We have the same causes."
"What?" we both asks after we heard the thing that assassin has said earlier, we actually lowered our weapons, but we were still holding them strong.
"What did you say?" I ask the Gentlemen.
"What I say was simple. We both have the same causes. I want to keep the kid safe because of the boss who will definitely use it to destroy the world. His money did not change my way of viewing the things." he looks at Ulfred and his smirk transforms into a normal reaction. "Is the girl safe?"
"Yes." says Ulfred to him.
Gentleman reveals a happy reaction, and with a smile he tells us.
"Did Vidraru took his power into a crystal, right?"
We did not said anything. But, the Gentlemen is looking at us, very careful and then, he tells us.
"I know how you can put the powers back into her, but I will tell you, and I will also leave you alone and not interfere in the future, if one of you will fight me. Fair and squire. No weapons, only combat. Are you alright with the offer I gave you, Ulfred?"
"Why not Judah?" says Ulfred which made me flinch for a second.
"I am a man. Not a criminal. A child against an adult. It doesn't sound right."
Ulfred smiles at the response of Thomas. He drops his sword, and he approaches the Gentlemen who also drops his cane and walks to Ulfred. As they got at a close distance, these two are shaking their hands, and they are taking a two steps back and each one a fighting stance. I decided to sit on the log, and watch at the fight between my friend Ulfred, and the weird assassin. This was not seen on my dream vision, and I am glad it wouldn't be with blood.

Meanwhile, on the house with green roof, Taka comes back on the home, as soon as he got there, he sees the door open. Her darkest visions appear on her mind, so she decided to rush there, to see what is happening.
She enters the house, breathing heavily and looking around worried. She calls Judah and Ulfred names, but they weren't responding to it. She then runs to all the rooms to where they are. As she searched all the rooms, and the one where Garnet is sleeping, she goes to her, and tries to wake her up from the sleep. Garnet wakes up, Taka is asking her dozens of question regarding where those two males warriors are. Garnet told she doesn't know here they are, and Taka left her room in a rush. As she got into the kitchen, something came to her mind.
She looks at the table on the kitchen, where Judah and Garnet revealed some important details for them to hear it. Taka remembers Judah told her about a fight of an assassin who is happening on a forest. She immediately create six clones, and she ordered all of them to scatter and investigate every single part of the nearby forests, searching for Ulfred and Judah, and eventually the body of the assassin.
As Taka and her clones left the house, garnet leaves her room and runs after Taka, with a dagger she took from the drawer of the desk where Judah and her were suing it to write letters or read books on the nights, eventually on the sunlight if they don't have anything to do on a day when they cannot do anything because those assassins. But before she was about to run after Taka, Garnet enters the house, takes the keys and use them to close the door of the house.
After Garnet locked up the house main door, she puts the keys on her belt and runs after Taka who is going into the forest with her clones to search for the boys.
