4 Episode 4 - Shock of Reality

As Adria went to the other room to heal more the old man, Edric approaches slowly to the door and hear they talking

- how... is him?

- he is fine, not hurt, I gave him a summoned creature, since rufos...

- yeah... he is gone...

Edric heard that and he got surprised and started crying, but without making them notice

- he did that to make us get out alive... damn, Morgana. .. why did she do that?

Edric was in fury, the sadness of the lost of his loved family, and the hate... he will look for whoever did that, and when find...

he took a little backpack that was there and got some random potions on the shelf, then he...

- ...

- no, it doesn't matter anymore, there is nothing we can do to revert this, all we can do is to make his death don't be in vain, we need to stop her and defeat Ulgmür

- Ulgmür? I see... so it is true after all, the prophecy... that child...

- yes, he must be, listen.. you need to teach him what you know... I'm too old, I won't live enough... he lost everything, his mother, his dog... now will be me soon, but you can help him, Adria

- I do not think I am the most qualified person to it...

- I know you are not good with kids, and... he's human, but... do it for me, for rufos.. please, Adria...

- ... I will have to think about it...

Edric gave his last goodbye from the door, in silence to his grandfather and ran out of the house by the back door, without listening to what they said after he listened to the name "Morgana", he was full of hate and fury, he now longs for revenge, to the woman that killed rufos

[then a strong sound of wood breaking make them stop talking, Edric left the house]

- what was that? (said Adria)

She went to the door and saw the back door destroyed, some potions was taken and edric and the bird were gone, they ran away

- it is edric! he left the house

- you know what to do, Adria... please

- ... if you really think I am able to... fine, just stay here, I will get him back

the old man smiles to the woman then passed out...

[meanwhile...]

Edric was running, with the backpack on his back and the bird flying around him, following his lead, they left the house and the outside was full of trees, he run to a long way to out of the forest, he could finally see what was on his front, no more trees, he could see the sun, the sky, he was on mountain, looking down there was a big city, he saw the way to it, then started following it, running down, passing by a few trees and other birds, normal ones

- (sings happily)

- you liked them too, midori?

- (sings in agreed)

- we are going to the big city... there may have ways to find that.. Morgana, and then we will...

- (stopped singing)

- she will pay to what she did to rufos... I swear!

Edric follows the way to the city and far away he could see some people walking on a street, some merchants and guards were walking around, the merchants selling stuffs, people buying and others just going inside through a really big gate, the other side was the city.
