~Kala~

Kala took the time to hear the woman trying to remember bits and pieces herself. She remembered a man telling her...

The sunrises...

"Tch." Kala held her forehead for a second, feeling a headache surge.

~Tomas~

"Fascinating." Tomas said. "Is there any base to this demon story? It is most curious." He saw Kala. "Hey, hey, are you alright!?" He asked.

"Y-yeah, just fine..." Kala responded meekly. 'Ow... Why does remembering have to hurt so much!'

~Tomas~

"Are you sure you're alright? Do you need to see a doctor?" Tomas asked concernedly.

~Rival~

"Not at all." Rival said calmly.

"Kala, are you sure you're okay?" Nina asked, worried about her friend. "It was probably the desert heat while I was chasing her. I'm sorry, Kala."

~Kala~

"I'm alright... Just memory..." Kala admitted. "It hurts to remember some things, that's all." Kala smiled, removing her hand from her forehead. "Come now... what of the tour?"

"Hurts to remember? How odd..." Tomas said. "Perhaps Miss Kala should sit it out for a bit..."

~Brenner~

"You think Zephyr's my daughter, huh? Hahaha, sorry but wrong kid." Brenner laughed, standing and trailing ahead.

"... I have said nothing of the sort." Rival said. "You entertained the notion, not I."

~Kala~

"No! I'm NOT sitting out! It was just temporary!!" Kala responded with a shouted, before calming down. "Sorry, I just don't like people suggesting stuff like that to me... I've gotta get stronger somehow, and sitting isn't gonna do it."

~Brenner~

"...Shut up." Brenner entered the first cavern toward the top. "So far so good... so far so good... I only have this switchblade... and you..."

(Sorry >.>)
~Nina~

"But walking around taking a tour is going to make you stronger?" Nina asked jokingly to Kala. "But to answer your question Tomas, there is no real base for the story besides the legends passed down the royal family." She said, walking along the path to their next destination.

"Uh... Here's the bar with the fountain of wine in the center of it. That's sadly a good source of income for the city." Nina said, sweatdropping as they passed the tavern.

~Kala~

"...I don't remember that..." Kala cocked her head to the side. "Also can you explain that rather large shadow upon that wall...? There's nothing that's causing it to be... well that shape or size of a shadow..." She took a closer look. "Hah, is this the main reason why Kuiz is so popular, Nina!?"

Do you want to here even more instruction?
~Tomas~

"My friend never mentioned any shadows when he spoke of this town... Though he did mention this fountain." Tomas said, poking at the shadow with a puzzled expression. "Right, so anything else of interest?"

~Rival~

"A small knife or two." Rival said. He took a step forward. "Hm...?"

"Hey, what's up...?" Brenner asked with a raise of the brow. He then glanced ahead. "Oh... uh..."

~Nina~

"I have no idea where that shadow is coming from! And don't worry about the fountain guys, we have extra guards conveniently near the tavern to deal with anything." Nina said, cocking her head at the shadow as well. "But...um... Nothing else of real interest. I live here and I don't know that much about it." The woman said, grinning.

"But do you guys mind coming to the barracks with me? I have something to pick up there."

~Tomas~

"I've no mind." Tomas said. "Though there was one thing I was particularly curious about... My friend mentioned a sunrise of some sort..."

~Rival~

"... Tch... We aren't alone..." Rival said. At that moment, he moved to take a step, but stopped. A single needle whizzed right by where his neck would have been had he moved. He turned.

A young blond haired youth could be seen on a cliff above the two, smiling. His eyes were closed. "Hmhmhm... I see your skills are just as sharp as they were when I last faced you, Mister Ingram." The boy said casually.

Rival gritted his teeth. Him...

~Kala~

"Now that's something I remember..." Kala folded her arms, continuing her steps. "Like the Lord of everything pretty much calling me up... actually it was Eicca who woke me up just to see that sunrise... I hated getting up so early, but I guess it was worth it. We should see it when we get the chance!" Kala smiled, feeling something strange... as if one was following.

~Brenner~

Meanwhile Rival heard a shout from behind. "FREAKIN' PIECE OF CRAP!" Brenner cried out, whimpering as he was pulling at a needle from his right arm.

~Rival~

Rival looked over at Brenner. "Just go." He said, looking up at the youth. "I should have known you people hadn't given up... But how did you find me?"

The boy smiled. "Your phones." He said.

"Our... Phones... Dammit..." He mumbled. He quickly jumped back to avoid several needles.

"You aren't getting away this time." The boy said, throwing several waves of the needles. "I underestimated you last time, thinking one puppet would be enough."

Rival grimaced. He looked around to see three identical copies of the boy.

"But this time, I'm leaving nothing to chance. Can you find the real one?" They all asked.

Rival quickly ducked into a cave in an attempt to avoid the needles raining from all directions. Dammit... At this rate I'll be killed... Or get lucky and just get lost... Dammit, Zephyr, you must have called your boyfriend even though I told you not to...

He quickly dialed out a message to everyone on his list.

It read: Drop your phone. It's bugged.

~Brenner~

Brenner just dropped the phone. Not on purpose but...

He soon fell over. "Is this... poison? Ah, shit..." Brenner gasped. "How'd he find out...?" The man asked as he doubled over in pain.

~Kala~

Right then, Kala felt her phone buzz. Flipping it open, she glanced at the message. 'Bugged? Oh no...' She thought before chucking her phone into the wine fountain. Of course Nina and the old man couldn't know...

"WHOOPS!" She cried out with a sweatdrop. "It must have slipped. Oh well." She shrugged.

"Yeah, I'll show that to you guys. Or we can see the actual sunrise tomorrow morning if we're all still in the city." Nina said, leading the two through the palace grounds. "Hey guys! Cover me while I find what I want!" She said to Kala and Tomas, leaving them outside in the open while she dashed into the barracks.

~Kala~

"What are you up to...?" Kala sighed, leaping onto a small spire nearby. "Hey, old man, careful around here!" She cried.

~Tomas~

"Such energy... I'm not sure I can keep up with you two this way..." He said, attempting to climb.

And not doing a great job of it either.

"Oops. Sorry..." Kala leaped down and helped the man up onto the spire. "Hey it's not a bad scene here... Nina... don't take your sweet time now..." She muttered, tapping her foot. She noticed a black shadow from the spire, overlapping the other... one...?

"Is this spire known for having two shadows...?" Kala glanced down, blinking.

~Rival~

Rival, meanwhile, was nowhere to be seen, having dipped into a network of caves on the side of the mountain. Odds are that they're all fake... The real one is hiding somewhere and commanding them from afar... So as long as I stay out of sight maybe..." He continued towards a light. Once outside, he was on an overlook, right above Brenner's head. He quickly grabbed the man and dragged him into the cave.

"There." One of the puppets said, throwing several needles.

Brenner, despite feeling very sick, retrieved his back pack and threw it in front of him to act a shield against the needles. "Hey, got anything... to help the suffering and death of dear ol' Brenner?" The man smiled rather sarcastically.

~Nina~

"Hey, guys I'm back!" Nina said, a rapier around her waist now. "Lookie!" She said, unsheathing it and holding the weapon up. "I'll be a master with this before you know it. And--wait... what the hell is wrong with the shadows?! The sun is about to set, there shouldn't be anymore shadows in a couple of minutes... and there's two of them." Nina spoke, getting out her rod and holding it in her right hand.

"I have a bad feeling about this."

"You have a rapier right...?" Kala raised a brow. "I suggest you master it now..." The woman glanced down for a moment before seeing the twitching...

She quickly pushed the old man into a safe zone. "GET AWAY!" She cried feeling a swoop grazing her nose.

It was another shadowy form...

"DAMMIT!" Kala struck at in in response. However the form shot again downward at the woman, knocking her off the spire. She managed to flip and land crouched.

"Woah!!" Tomas exclaimed, falling over from the shove. "What... Are those?" He asked.

~Rival~

"You just threw all the supplies at the person... Puppets... That are trying to kill you..." Rival said with a sigh. He quickly threw several knives, which exploded, sealing the cave. He quickly turned around and a small explosion was heard.

"WELL WHAT AM I TO DO!? JUST LET THEM HIT ME WHEN I'M PRACTICALLY PARALYZED? WE'LL GET THEM BACK!" Brenner cried out in exasperation.

~Nina~

"Your guess is as good as mine!" Nina said, running over to Tomas and helping him up. "Either those demons from the old legends are true... Or... it's those assassins who are after you and Rival." She said, holding up her weapons. "Can you fight?" She asked Tomas.
