"HIM? Sarah shouted in surprise. 

"Him." Alea said with a grin. 

"You know him?" Vulxis asked. 

"Of course, he was the one Tia was talking about during the Human races racial punishment announcement that lost us Stone-mist Castle. 

"Really?" Vulxis asked in surprise before adding. 

"Well, if what Tia said is true it certainly makes sense why he is not fond of the human race and would side with a Draconian against them. 

Sarah nodded with a sigh. 

"Not fond of the human race except for three individuals, right Sarah." Alea said with a grin, making Sarah roll her eyes. 

"Oh who?" Vulxis asked with interest. 

"Sarah because she was the one who found John for Tia and brought the information about his mistreatment to light, Empress Alexia because she passed down judgment and Adria because she is our close friend and Alexia's daughter." Alea answered. 

"And you were flirting with this guy Sarah? Do you like him?" Vulxis asked as Alea smirked. 

"Not as much as Alea does." Sarah replied with her own smirk causing Alea to blush before she added. 

"Alea is in love with him." 

"WHAT!" Vulxis shouted with shock looking at Alea before asking. 

"You're in love with a Human male Alea? You? One of the impossible Princesses?" 

"What impossible princesses?" Alea asked with a frown as Sarah giggled. 

"It's the nickname for a group of women going around, have you not heard it?" Vulxis asked, surprised. 

"I have not." Alea stated as Sarah shook her head to confirm that she had not heard of it either. 

"The Impossible Princesses are a group of women from different races of Atlantia and Genesis that are thought to be impossible to marry or even date because they have never shown any interest in men or women that are pursuing them." Vulxis explained before adding. 

"Also, Adria is also on the list." 

"Haha wait till I tell her about this, she will love it haha." Sarah said with a laugh. 

"Hmph, I have just never found anyone who has caught my interest before and shown to be interested in me as a person instead of my position or race." Alea said with a pout. 

"Oh? Am I to believe the issue Sarah and Adria are helping you with involves this human man?" Vulxis asked with a grin. 

Alea sighed before saying. 

"It does, his name is John Michaels or Vincarna in Genesis, and the plan is..."

John was still being led towards the bandit hideout, they had been walking for close to twenty minutes now and John started to hear a noise getting louder and louder as they walked onward. 

After a short while later, they emerged from some trees into a huge clearing in the forest that had a large waterfall and lake. 

They started to walk around the edge of the lake towards the waterfall that was on the other side before the three bandits led John along a narrow path that was so small you could not see it unless you were literally next to it. 

The narrow path led them behind the waterfall where they entered a cave and walked for a bit longer before they stopped in front of a metal door that seemed to have the image of a tiger's head carved on it. 

Folwin, who was in front, knocked on the large metal door with a strange rhythm almost like a passcode and a few seconds after he stopped a small hatch on the door opened and John could see two eyes looking out. 

After a moment the hatch closed again before bolts could be heard being pulled back and the door opened to reveal another Orc who looked at the three with the bear before asking in puzzlement. 

"What the fuck is that?" 

"A bear you dumb-ass." Gujjab replied with a grin. 

"I can see that Gujjab, I mean why have you brought a bear back here and with a collar on also, I thought you only had tiger collars?" 

"We did and it is, we brought it back for entertainment, figured we could have it fight the other animals we are holding here." Gujjab stated his plan proudly. 

"Riiiggghhhhttt." The gate guard said before moving aside and saying. 

"Get on in then and take that bear to the cages where all the other animals are stored, food will be up soon and it's venison." 

"Yes," Hedgal said happily, doing a fist pump. 

As John was led through the metal gate his notifications suddenly lit up like crazy.

As John read all the notifications he was taken to a place in the hideout where there were a bunch of cages with animals in. 

The cages were all filthy as were their occupants, it was apparent the bandits did not care for these animals. 

After John was forced into a dirty cage he pretended not to want to enter, and the door was closed on him he received another notification and the three bandits left while talking about venison.
