Now we see that alicia and klen both are captured and suddenly Alicia Awake and she seen Klen in front of her and she was very calm and tell Alicia that Luna is safe and she doesn’t have to worry about her. Now alicia go closer to klen and asked how only 1 hit was enough to down you don’t tell me that you are now weaker like human because you just transformed into one. Then, Klen says of course not even i was shocked and this body is weaker then i thought.
Right now i am just a human and i will have to hide my identity until Luna becomes the king. Then Alicia says we have been attacked by filthy bandits and we are being taken to slavery and these bandits are stronger than normal humans. They can as dirtiest for themselves and cross any cruelty.
In the next seen we see that they reached the place and bandits ask men and old people to go one side and women and child to another but suddenly of of the men try to escape and then one of the bandits kill him with the knife. One of the bandits steps forward and declares, “We’re Ravens, and if anyone else tries to run, they’ll die just like him.”
Fear spreads among the captives like wildfire.
Then, one of the thugs roughly grabs Alicia and drags her away.
The scene cuts to a peaceful village, where a woman named Carmy spots Klene carrying a baby girl. Surprised, she invites him into her home and offers him a place to stay. She then calls for her maid, Neil, saying, “She’s good with little ones around here.”
That evening, we shift to the boss’s room—Roku’s chamber. A guard enters, dragging Alicia in, and foolishly calls him by name. Instantly, Roku’s expression darkens. He slams his fist on the table and growls, “Don’t you ever call me that. You address me as ‘Boss.’ Got it? President Roku, now Zazak. The old boss vanished, and I took his place. Keep calling me by name, and you won’t just lose your job—you’ll meet Beasty.”
Cue: a terrifying creature known as Beasty, a monstrous dark beast from the west, steps forward.
Alicia stares in disbelief. Why would someone like Roku keep such a terrifying creature as a pet?
Then Roku pulls out a small pouch filled with glowing red stones and steps closer. “You brought these from Luna Mountain, didn’t you?” he asks with suspicion. “That’s the den of Clevatess, one of the four great Dark Beast Lords.”
His tone sharpens. “They say the King of Heiden sent 13 heroes there, armed with sacred treasures. None of them returned. One of them was a woman… You expect me to believe it’s just a coincidence you brought back stones this pure—something impossible to find in human lands?”
He leans in, eyes narrowed. “Tell me, were you one of those 13 soldiers?”
Then he drops another bombshell: “Did you hear? Clevatess attacked Hydrat and wiped out their entire castle.”
He draws a glowing red sword, causing Alicia to gasp. “That sword…!” she exclaims.
She recognizes it immediately. Only Heiden’s royal family can forge such a weapon—the red glow proof of its purity and immense power. These swords are said to amplify a fighter’s strength manyfold.
But Roku smirks. “Oh, this thing? It’s fake. We don’t just sell slaves—we sell counterfeit weapons too. Most people are too dumb to know the difference.”
He adds, “There are only two ways to get a sacred treasure: either be chosen as a hero by the king, or loot it off a dead one. And let’s be honest—most heroes die anyway.”
Then Roku stares coldly into Alicia’s eyes. “So, where’s your sacred treasure? And where are the other twelve?”
Alicia clenches her fists and remains silent. His grin fades. “Make her talk,” he orders his guards. “Tomorrow, she’s leading us to it. She’s the key to finding all thirteen.”
The guards drag her away.
Later, we see Klene working undercover in the local tavern, serving food and drinks. The customers mock him, laughing at his pale and fragile appearance.
Nearby, Carmy whispers to a friend, “That boy’s strange. I thought he had orc blood because of that horn on his head, but he’s way too weak. He’s practically see-through.”
Meanwhile, Neil is carrying drinks when one of the guards deliberately trips her, sending her crashing to the ground. They drag her outside, claiming they’ll “teach her a lesson,” and beat her mercilessly before tossing her into the dirt.
Suddenly, Klene appears—eyes cold and deadly.
In a flash, he kills both guards and disposes of their bodies without anyone noticing.
Neil, trembling with fear and confusion, stares at him.
But Klene gently says, “Take care of the baby. I’d like to talk to you.”
Later, they sit under the moonlight. Neil timidly opens up. “I’ve been here with the Ravens since I was born. I never knew my father. My mother was here too, but I only ever saw her from behind… I don’t even remember her face.”
Her voice cracks. “She was a slave, too.”
Neil spoke quietly, “They used to beat my mother constantly… and then one day, she just disappeared. I don’t know if she escaped or died. After that, they started beating me instead.” She lifted her hair, revealing scars on her ears and a mouth missing teeth. “I lost most of my teeth. I can only hear from one ear now,” she added, her voice steady but numb from years of pain. “It wasn’t until later that I realized—my mother had been protecting me all along.”
Her words hit hard. “They’ve always treated us like animals,” she continued. “Things only got a little better after Carmy arrived. She taught me how to deal with the men around here. Life isn’t as awful as it used to be. At least now I have a job taking care of the children.”
Klene looked at her carefully and asked, “If you know how to care for children… where’s your own?”
Neil’s expression darkened. “I gave birth to a stillborn,” she whispered, her voice finally cracking. “When I realized my baby was gone, it was like my whole world went dark. I felt like I was sinking—falling deeper and deeper—wishing I could just die too.” She wiped away a tear, forcing a small, broken smile. “But then, when I started caring for the children here, I thought… maybe I was meant to protect little ones like them. Sometimes I even imagine they’re mine.”
Klene remained silent, his gaze softening.
Then he asked gently, “Would you come with me? I need someone I can trust to take care of Luna… and she seems to like you too.”
A reflective thought lingers: If you were Klene, could you stay calm in a moment like this? And if you were Neil, would you have survived such a life? Sometimes the weakest people carry the strongest hearts.
Neil stared at him, surprised. She hadn’t expected that kind of offer. But Klene looked serious—calm and firm. “Take your time. Think carefully,” he said, locking eyes with her. “But I want your answer. Will you come with me? Be Luna’s nursemaid and leave this place? Or stay here, serving slave owners who everyone says are nothing more than scum?”
Neil lowered her eyes. Her lips quivered as she sighed. “Honestly, I’m really grateful for your offer,” she said softly. “But in the end… you’re a slave too. You won’t be able to pay me much.” She gave him a sad smile. “So, I’ll stay. I need to care for the children who come next. I’m sorry.”
She gently handed the baby back to him… and walked away without looking back.
At this point, you can’t help but ask yourself—what would you do in her shoes? Stay in familiar suffering… or risk everything for a shot at freedom?
Meanwhile, we see Alicia—the heroine—being forced to cross a narrow bridge, surrounded by thugs and bandits. She halts, lost in thought. One of the bandits taps her with his sword and sneers, “Keep moving… or are you thinking about jumping?”
He chuckles darkly, “Don’t bother. The walls here slope inward—you’ll smash into the rocks long before you reach the lake below.”
Suddenly, the group’s attention shifts to a nearby man—clearly out of his mind—who loudly challenges the lake itself. He claims he’ll dive beneath the water and reach a hidden magic mine, just two meters below the surface. It’s an absurdly dangerous stunt. Everyone starts mocking him. “What an idiot!” they shout. “He’s really gonna try it!”
Off to the side, his wife watches nervously, calling out, “Do your best, darling!” Hopeful, but pale.
Without hesitation, the man dives in.
Alicia gasps. “He’s insane.” The whole entrance is submerged—and crawling with monsters. He’s not coming back.
Sure enough, within moments, a monstrous beast rises from the depths and devours the man instantly. Then it lunges upward, dragging another poor soul with it.
“Yes, folks,” the narrator might say ominously, “these are the dreaded dark beasts, Arventus, still lurking in these waters. They’ve haunted this area ever since the Great Floods—300 years ago. That mine? Abandoned. Even Koduir, the greatest hero of his time, failed to defeat these monsters.”
At least back then, there was ground to stand on. Koduir’s legendary weapon, the Stream Cutter, earned its name after slicing through a waterfall in front of King Heiden himself.
One of the bandits, stunned, turns to Alicia. “I didn’t know swords had names. Does yours have one too?”
She glares at him and snaps, “There’s no reason I need to tell you anything.”
But the bandit sneers. “You fool. You promised them freedom, didn’t you? Yet here you are, tying ropes around your slave and dragging him like a dog. Doesn’t that mean you never meant to set him free?”
His voice is full of venom. “I know what scum like you think. You’re just like those Zionists, making promises you’ll never keep.”
Alicia glares at him but stays silent.
Another bandit snickers. “Stay out of other people’s messes, girl. You’ve got your own to worry about.” He taunts, “You’re shackled at the wrists, iron balls chained to your ankles… standing on a bridge to nowhere. And on the other side? Even more people waiting to hurt you.”
The whole crowd erupts in laughter, eager to watch the heroine break.
“Oh yeah,” one grins. “Can’t wait to hear Miss Heroine squeal like a pig.”
Suddenly, a deranged-looking thug leaps in front of Alicia, shaking the bridge violently. The others scream, “Hey! Idiot! You’ll break the bridge!”
But the maniac only laughs. “I don’t care!” he shouts. “All I see is a woman I want to strip and defile in front of everyone!”
His words ignite a storm of fury in Alicia. Her eyes blaze. She violently struggles against her restraints—and then, with a sudden burst of strength, she breaks partially free.
With one fierce blow, she smashes the pervert so hard, the ropes holding the bridge SNAP.
Both Alicia and the thug plummet into the abyss below—bodies vanishing into the darkness.
And just like that… silence.
Two corpses falling into the unknown.
