Castle Cain, Arikova-

  Aodhan, Micheal, and Sirus sit at a large table in the lobby of Castle Cain, discussing foreign affairs with Mesoha. As Aodhan stands up to enter the kitchens a series of loud knocks at the front door. Sirus and Micheal open the door to Ravine asking where Aodhan is. Sirus explains that Aodhan was in the kitchens and will return shortly. When Aodhan enters the lobby again, he is met with Ravine in tears after being told of what happened with Ember. “What's going on Ravine? Why are you here?” Aodhan asks, Ravine explains that she was attacked in mesoha and that she had a bounty on her. When questioned about the bounty and attack she explained that Lord phantom signed an executive order for the capture of Arainian citizens. Aodhan explains that it was the reason he called the meeting. “You know what this could lead to……. A possibility of war” mentions Micheal, “indeed, it is true that this is a tremendously infuriating act, that could quite possibly lead to conflict. I believe it would be wise to wait.” Sirus ads. “No! We can't just wait for Phantom to do more harm. We have to strike back somehow!” Michael yells. “I am with Sirus on this one. Peace must be preserved for as long as possible.” Aodhan says as he opens a laptop and begins typing. “Looking at our current standings with foreign affairs, it is evident that a war with Mesoha would destroy our relations with their allies. We can not afford a world war. This isn't how it was during the chimera war, there is more at stake.” Aodhan looks down at his hands after saying “I personally do not want to have to fight Phantom one on one. It would be risky.” After a few moments of discussion, Ravine is allowed to stay at castle cain with Aodhan and Micheal until mesoha calms down.

  “Hmm business as usual, nothing to worry about currently.” she says while standing up to go get some coffee. As she opens the door she is met with two assassins facing her at the end of the hallway.”Come with us chancellor” one of them says while drawing a sword. Nina immediately slams the door shut and runs for her sword; being trained by a master swordsman she knows she can defend herself. But suddenly, she hears a voice behind her. “Drop it.” Nina turns around to see Opal with his spear pointed at her. Nina, knowing she would lose to such a strong opponent, lays her sword down. But instead of being captured Opal lunges his spear into Nina. “Long live Lord Phantom” Opal says as he sets his spear on fire causing a massive explosion.

  Castle Cain, Arikova-

  It was a sunday night, around 9:00pm, when the news of chancellor Nina was broke to Aodhan. “So….. Phantom really does want war.” Aodhan whispers. “I need to make a public announcement, we are at war with mesoha!” The very next day an assault battalion is sent to attack cheyco city. During the attack Ravine, and Michael are to search castle moronuu and locate any evidence on who attacked fort killashye.

  Cheyco city, mesoha-

  It is a quiet monday morning, people head to work, cars dart down the street, and ships fly off into the sky; business as usual. Suddenly, a firefight between city guards and an Arainian assault force rages through the streets. In all the chaos, ravine and michael sneak into castle moronuu and search every room, guards try to stop them, but their weapons do nothing to the powerful warriors before them. As Michael deals with the many guards, Ravine searches the main archives and finds Opal staring out at the chaos.

  Before she can step away from the door, Opal notices her presence and launches a barrage of fireballs in her direction. Dodging the attacks Ravine shouts out for Michael to help. Opal chases Ravine down the main hallway until Michael catches up with them. Not wanting to fight Michael, Opal runs out of the room while yelling “it was me, i did it.” To Their horror, Michael and Ravine notice the walls covered with explosives. Michael grabs Ravine and jumps out a window, landing at a safe distance from the explosion.

  Ravine radioed the assault force to evac and that the mission was a success.
