All That's Against Faramis

Natalia had already left Tigreal's home. He stayed in his library as he thinks of these innumerable problems he had to face; blood demons, conjurers, necromancers. Being the Captain of the Knights Order has been difficult but not impossible. He stands in front of his desk as he carefully read the book he just shown Natalia. He knew that the disputes between the empire and the necromancers exist ages ago yet he believes he can stop this before any more falls victim. He turns the page and reads a portion:

~ He had tested crazy dark magic on himself, constantly exploring ways he could live with his own skin, creating a more aggressive magic. ~

Faramis is an enemy the empire constantly watches. He had dealt a severe loss for ages not only to the empire but also to the innocents outside the capital walls that befell his wicked experiments. Though they had kept an eye on him, they never had any successful operation to capture him. He continues to read recent reports:

~ Faramis had conquered the southern county inhabited by farmers and fishermen, leaving no native alive, even women and children. Hundreds had died from gunshots and some, arrows shot at the back. Reports also indicate of scarring in the victims' skins, mainly caused by scorching fires and possibly, poisonous acids. ~

Tigreal realises Faramis will continue unless someone stops him. If no one is to deal with him more lives will be lost to his hands. Though Faramis is always a step ahead of him, he knew he had allies that could help. It is already advantageous for him to have Natalia at his disposal. What he needs now are more men with different specialties.

"I have to ask him. He will help once I tell him what we're dealing with." Tigreal said in his head as he thinks of a certain ally he wishes he can have. "He may not hear from me, but I have to try."

Alucard, a demon hunter of fine skill and talent, is a young man that Tigreal knew as a child. His parents were Tigreal's mentors in the Order. As he was learning his trade, most of the skills he had acquired he owed to these mentors. Alucard lost both his parents on a mission to save Tigreal from blood demons. On his mission to spy on the demons he was held captive for years until he escaped. Since then, he had rarely talked to Tigreal and had spent his days at the Temple of Light, learning the ways of killing and ending the demons' schemes.

He continues to scan his library for books on magic knowledge when he stumbles upon a book of the Magic Academy. As Tigreal knew very well that they're dealing with powerful magic, he knew he has to ask the Academy and Paxley family for knowledge hoping to know more regarding the matter. The Paxley family is one of the most prestigious magic families in the empire and some of the powerful mages were their family member.

Now that he had a plan in mind, he will need to gather more information and allies to help with this mission. He suddenly thought of Natalia.

"I need to make sure first. I will tell her about this eventually, but she needn't hear it now. It may cloud her judgment." He thinks as he rereads the end of the now crumpled letter from Nestore:

~ I have sent Natalia after this mission as she is our most skilled assassin, furthermore it may also help her seek answers for her complicated childhood. I hope she will be of assistance to you just as the success of this mission may bring peace for the empire and for her. ~
