EPILOGUE

Not much time had passed when the ground began to shake up again though the evening sky remained calm,

"What now?" Kai voiced in annoyance; can't we catch a break.

As he finished, several glyphs appeared on the sands around them.

"Damn. This is going to be a pain." Ken added, his hand on his forehead "Obviously now the white wolf makes their entrance," He continued in a sarcastic voice.

The glyphs rose towards the sky casting a radiating light beneath. From within appeared armored figures. The one in lead was walking directly towards Kenviar.

"And who the ruddy hell are you?" The figure inquired pointing a broad sword at his throat. It was a woman, (a thick accent) she barely reached Ken's shoulder so that her arm was at an inclined angle. "Callin me in the bloody desert, you seen a no-good Goddess round 'Ere..." The woman continued taking off her helmet with her other hand, to reveal here reddish brunette hair, and strikingly fair skin,

"I am Kenviar, a demon contracted with Kai here" Ken. Answered holding out a parchment scroll.

"A demon e says, might be worth comin 'ere after all." The woman said shaking her head letting her hair wave, her green eyes focusing on the paper, she lowered her sword and snatched the parchment looking at it.

"Aye, party of two, Master Philp eh. I see" the woman continued talking more to herself then to Ken. Kai stood perplexed at what was going on.

"Allow me tr introduce ma self, I am Zasha."

Ken cut her off, "Zasha the crimson blade?" He inquired an eyebrow raised.

"Never ... Cut in when I am speakin ..." Zasha spoke in a very intimidating voice, the setting sun radiating off her body armor cast an aura about her face "an' aye they do call me that ..."

"I apologize" Ken said with the least bit apologetic expression.

"So, what happened here, and who the fuck is that?" Zasha inquired pointing towards the unconscious Cyer.

"That happens to be a friend of ours" Ken added,

"Aint nothin in the parchment 'bout no friend," She continued. "You there, with the face..." One of her knights pointed to himself, "yeah you who else or do ya think I'm talking to, the bloody cactus"

"Yes, my lady?"

"Go check that laddie out."

"As you command." The knight answered before striding off.

"So, you were tellin me bout what happened."

"Yes, there was a large assortment of bandits here who ambushed my master and well things got rough. " Ken explained in a few words as Zasha surveyed the area around observing the corpses...

"It's looks like I missed quite a show. What bout the goddess?"

"Goddess Lilith descended here. But she is long gone now."

"Curse it all. What a wasted trip!" Zasha spat on the ground in visible frustration.

"My lady, this is an assassin on the wanted list. What should we do with him?"

"Hell would I know? tis not my job catchin these rats."

"Should we leave him be?"

"Naah, take em to the hold, and this boy and his demon too. I will have a report to write. For fucks sake! What a waste!" Zasha annoyed turned around as glyphs appeared under everyone's feet.

"Demon, I am taking you and your boy to the frost mountain. Tis near to the academy anyway," Zasha said as everyone got enveloped in the radiating light.
