Saki asked, "What's our Adrian Troop doing here? I thought they were completing a huge task!"

Grane spoke up, "We were. But our Xona here received a word from Miss Kendor through her mind. So we had to report immediately to kidnap all these souls unharmed!!"

Sim stated, "It was such a pain making them fall unconscious without hurting them!!"

Xona presented herself before me, "What else does the lord have in store for me to follow?!", bowing forward. I said, "Nothing more. Just untie the bands around their heads. I'll take care of the rest!"

She began to cut the bands around the heads of the tied ones. Her two comrades followed her lead. After standing back, I stepped forward. With the rise of my right hand, I let out a snap.

"Gasp!!!!!", all the tied ones woke up. In the shock of noticing themselves tied all over, they freaked out,

"What is happening?!"

"Where am I?!"

"Get off me, you wench!!"

"What did you say?!!"

"What am I doing here?!"
