Bab 25: The quest, return of the church of…
"Vlad Tepes," said Vlad with a grin. "And I shall guide you, on your very dangerous quest,"
"No worries Mr tepes, we can handle it," said Enora with confidence.
"Haha, I sure hope so, I don't want to have to bury your bodies," said Vlad to the group
"Well, same to you, kind sir," said Max with a fake smile.
"Don't mind the kid, he acting like an arrogant prick!" said Garrett. "So, what's the task?"
Vlad then brought out a briefcase and said to them. "You have to simply, go deep into undead territory, and place this there, easy enough, right!"
"Which is where exactly?" asked Enora with curiosity
"The mring banned forest," said Vlad. "If you are not up to this task, leave now."
Vlad's aura became dangerous, the moment he said this, the team went fully alert, but Enora broke the tense situation.
"Oh come on, we've faced worse than that, haven't we Krista?" asked Enora
"Yes, we can handle the task, unless Mr. Tepes here has someone else in mind?" said Krista
"I love your confidence, but that's not enough, so you will be going with a friend of mine!" said Vlad with a kind smile.
"Who would that be?" asked Enora with doubt
Just as enora said that, a tall man with stitches on his body walked in. He had translucent yellow skin, flowing black hair, and white...pupils
"This is Frankenstein, named after his master!" said Vlad. "I won't be following all of you, I have more important matters to attend to."
Vlad then sunk into the shadow disappearing from sight.
"That was cool," said Eric, as he walked to the spot Vlad disappeared.
"So, he is the man, the one that killed the undead at that village," thought Max as he scanned the Vlad Tepes life force before he left.
"Mr. Frankenstein, nice to make your acquaintance, I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation!" said Krista as she stretched out her hands.
"Yes ma'am," said Franklin as he shook her hand awkwardly.
"Alright, we will book an inn and set off tomorrow," said Krista to the group as they continued to eat their food.
After eating their meal, the group walked back to their inn. After a few hours of sleep, Max woke up, feeling quite tired.
"What time is it?" he yawned
"It's around 3:30 AM, why?" asked Enora
"Because my bed felt really soft last night," replied Max as he stretched his body
"Ahh, the comfort of the beds in this place," said Garrett
"Yeah, you need some sleep," said Enora as he looked down at Max
"Not tonight," said Max as he stood up from his bed
"You should get some sleep, you'll feel better for tomorrow," said Enora
"Nope," said Max bluntly as he left the inn.
Max lept through buildings, looking for something. Soon, he stopped on the roof of a house, and hid behind the chimney.
in front of him was... Vlad talking to a golden-robed man.
"Have you sent out the task to all the teams,"
said Vlad
"Of course Lord Tepes," said the robed man.
Vlad then turned around and walked over to a flowerpot and pulled out a long wooden box.
"As you see before you, the box contains the item that I am sending you, along with the instructions. You must not open the box, until the day of light," said Vlad, suddenly bringing the man's head close to him and looking him straight in the eyes.
"Do you understand?"
Vlad's glowed red as he stared down the man
"Yes, yes sir," the robed man panicked, his hands shaking at Vlad's gaze.
Vlad then released his hands from his head and shooed him away.
The robed man ran into an alleyway and disappeared into the night. Vlad then turned into a cloud of smoke.
"Church of light robes! The adventuring guild, in cooperation with the church of light? And possibly the empire too!" said Max, connecting the whole situation. Then a glint flashed in his eyes, as he started laughing in the dead of the night. "What an emperor! What a plan?"
Max thought as the scene fades to black.

On the top of a large castle, an old human and an armored knight stood.
"They band against us… Judas" said a Witch as she stared at the large man.
"Just an alliance of the weak against the strong," said Judas, strolling closer toward the witch.
"Are you mad?!" screamed the witch, "Two other forces are trying to destroy us, you know what the empire does… what do we do?!"
"We will win!" replied Judas. "Once we are done, this world will be ours!"
"Our scouts send us news, The strongest man on the continent is back...Arthur Pendragon is back!" said the witch, stooping Judas in his tracks.
"Have you managed to summon that creature yet?" asked Judas with panic in his tone.
"No, I would not be worried about our predicament if I had... my lord," said the old witch.
"Endora, do not disappoint me, do not disappoint our cause," growled Judas.
"My skills are not to be questioned, what's really to be questioned is...are you the ruler we need... or the puppet leader, we need to control," said Endora as she turned back and walked away.
Judas watched the witch disappear into the darkness, gripping his sword in rage

In a small shack, an old man walked around the room, contemplating something.
"I have not found any trace of Rojin since I sent him to that city, why? What could possibly be the reason…" muttered the old man
"Could Rex have killed him out of revenge?
No, I'm afraid that's impossible, Rojin won't do something as foolish as to reveal himself to him again, especially knowing what he did!"
The old man then sat on his chair and sighed. "I need answers… but how?"
Suddenly, the door burst open, revealing the figure of a young woman, carrying a bag over one shoulder. She walked into the shack and closed the door behind her.
The woman looked up only to feel herself getting lifted. The old man held her neck with a tight grip, choking her and causing her to scream out in pain. Her eyes were bulging out and tears were running down her cheeks.
"Who are you?" He asked with venom dripping off every word.
"Lord, Onaga! I am a soldier, under, Rojin!" shouted the woman in pain, as her vision blurred.
"I know, Hahaha! This is punishment for not knocking," said ONAGA as he released her.
Then, he grabbed the bag from the woman. He opened the bag and saw many pieces of paper and books floating inside.
"Lord, these are all the reports of what Rojin found and where he went," said Onaga
"Hmm, interesting...very interesting, very interesting indeed," said ONAGA as he took out some papers.
<The 7 founders are missing, all news regarding their location has been blocked, and the adventurers are being sent out on quests more often than usual, it's almost like the empire abandoned this city, but that does not seem to be the case.>

< The Elliot family is unusual, they have ruled the empire behind the scenes with different names, but the most famous one is...
Legendary Architect Merlin and

Onaga dropped the documents, while his eyes filled with surprise, disbelief, and anger.
"....Merlin!"
