7 Despair of the Heir

As Cole rides his eagle to get back to town, he gathers attention of the townsfolk as they have feared the eagle due to its harm every time it gets hungry. Irvin and Lyna was waiting in front of the guild hall when they see Cole, riding his eagle. "That's the resizing eagle, Pharaoh" The two said as Cole lands in front of them. "I tamed this bird after getting lost, hehe" Cole exclaimed happily that he can finally be of help to attack and defend. Lyna and Cole chatted happily of their familiars meanwhile Irvin, sad and anxious of himself that he hasn't found his familiar yet. He doubts himself if he was even qualified to be their friend with his weak strength and self.

The three walks towards the gate of Bronya, ready to venture towards somewhere else again. As they start their journey to the path of greatness in the woods once more, someone lurks in the shadows waiting to brew a storm in the bottle. Lyna and Cole notice Irvin's expression and understood that he was in some sort of haze in which he can't get out of. Soon enough, everyone felt the haziness as well and started falling one by one, into the ground. As the three wake up, they find themself in the same hut they were in before, but Irvin was missing. Lyna and Cole shouted his name but no one answered.

A foggy mist came and blurred their vision, making it more difficult to find Irvin. They decided to let the fog settle down then to find him after, but as the day ends, the fog didn't settle down. The two slept the night off without Irvin. They were filled with anxiousness and worries in their minds, wondering what happened to Irvin.
