Reporting to the Superior

"Sir, two men are here to see you. They say they have business with you", a man by Ren's side spoke.

The name of this man was Ross Elden, in Jericho he was known as the advisor to Ren. Jericho was the safe haven Ren had created to gather and protect humans that he found. It was named 'Jericho' because of the giant almost impenetrable wall it had. In short it was perfect for defending against almost anything. This place had everything a person could ask for as well, food, shelter, clothing and more. People here were actually happy with their way of living, that was so as long as they accepted Ren as king. Majority of people in Jericho chose to serve him because they could not imagine been left outside with the terrors of new Earth.

"What are their names, Ross?"

"One of them is named Maverick while the other Finn"

"Tell them to come in", Ren ordered as these names sounded familiar.

Upon hearing this, Ross walked towards the large door a distance away. Ren was currently in a place that could only be described as a castle for royalty, hence it was incredibly large and wide. This building had taken a long time to build, however it was completed before Dante ever came to the planet. Ren turned his head to look at Mia who was currently sitting by his side. Here in Jericho she was also considered a queen as she was Ren's woman, though she was not aware of this. She had a look on her face which he clearly understood. Her face looked like the one she always made when she was lost in thought.

"Sir, I have brought them", Ross said before returning to the right hand side of his king.

On seeing them he instantly remembered that he had sent them to dispose of someone who had refused to live under his rule. Now he wondered what could have possibly made them come here in the first place.

"What is the matter?", Curiosity plagued Ren's mind.

"We were attacked by someone in the woods", Maverick said leaving out details of the person they were sent to dispose of.

On hearing this Mia was snapped back into the real world. Now she was really curious to know who was responsible not that she did not have a faint idea.

"This someone, describe them", Mia sat up straight showing that she was interested in the topic.

Ren was surprised by this, however he was not worried. He wanted to keep all the things he was doing a secret so as to not lose her trust. Though he had told these two men to make sure Mia knew nothing of this.

"We can't really say anything about this person. This person had wore a cloak and mask so it was impossible to tell", Finn explained.

"Well there are other ways of finding out. How did this person attack you?", Ren asked another question right after.

"This person created some kind of sandstorm that blinded us and attacked us quickly. I am sure that this person was skilled at combat and fast on the feet. Plus the moment we looked at this person we felt an incredibly ominous aura. At that point we realized that we were no match for this person so we fled", Finn felt uncomfortable knowing someone like that was out there.

"Well that has to be Serena. It is impossible that the guy she was with is capable of doing something like that. He was terrible at fighting and it is not possible to become that skilled within a short period of time. It hasn't even been a week since our battle", Mia explained.

"How sure are you it was Serena? They did say this person created a sandstorm", Ren stared at her waiting for her response.

"Well we are both aware that we haven't seen anyone that can use Nano Lites to the level she could. What is stopping her from creating a sandstorm with it."

Ren was quite aware of this been true as he had seen her use Nano Lites in the past. She had used Nano Lites to make explosives, ricochet bullets, create shields and even slow down time in an area of space. In short Serena was one of the most powerful people in new Earth at the moment.

"Go on, tell me what happened afterwards", Ren turned his attention back to Maverick and Finn.

"Well this person had taken hostage one of the people Ren had saved recently. His name was Eric"

Even though Finn lied, Ren perfectly understood what he meant. They had ran away as they were outmatched leaving Eric with this person. It seemed as though the assailant took him along and without forcing him to do so, almost as if the person convinced him to.

"What!? That's terrible. I don't think that was Serena anymore, we never knew her to be that kind of person", Mia stated as she was beginning to have second thoughts.

"Mia, it has to be her. Do you know anybody else that has a reason to do so", Ren looked back at her with determined eyes.

Mia didn't want to believe it was Serena, however Ren did have a good point. She was unaware of anyone else who would want to harm them. It was possible that this was revenge for attacking that man she had encountered in the forest.

"I am sorry Ren, this is most likely my fault. It should be because I attacked that man named Dante."

"Don't worry about it Mia, it isn't your fault. Though we have to do something about this, we will have to get Eric back from her no matter what."

Deep down Ren didn't feel good about lying to her, but in order for him to fulfill his goals he had too. In order to build a human society under one rule, his rule, he had too. Now the one person that was in his way was a friend from his past, Serena. He knew he would have to take her out if he was to succeed, and he was willing to do so. If this man, Dante chose to come in his way in anyway, he would do the same to him as well.
