(So this is how it's going to end...My body feels so numb from his attack...It feels like I am going to die...Hmm?)

Naota catches Skar in his hand while looking at him.

"What are you doing Takaki Naota? You aren't supposed to help your enemy in a battle." Skar says to Naota. "I can't let someone like you die, let me know if there is some place I can take you so that they can treat you." Naota says to Skar.

"Aren't you going to save those two young girls from the city lord?" Skar asks Naota.

A huge smile appears on Naota's face.

"You think I am alone here? No way in hell am I alone here, you must have sensed it too right? My friends are here too and they will stop the wedding from happening, the only thing I need to be concerned of is that city lord, I will be taking him down once and for all." Naota says to Skar as he looks high up towards the castle.

(His eyes...They glimmer with determination...They strong no...They were already strong but they have grown stronger...So much stronger...)

Skar smiles.

(I wasn't wrong about this kid after all...It was a good choice to keep him alive.)

"There is a clinic down the road, get your and mine injuries treated." Skar says to Naota. Naota nods and begins to run down the road.

Naota reached the clinic in no time with his speed.

"THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!!!" Naota screams. A female doctor with short black curly hair and glasses looks at Naota. "So he has arrived huh Skar?" Naota looks surprised by the doctor's comment. "The name is Prenci Howster, I am Skar's wife." The doctor gives Naota a smile as Skar passes out.

Naota spends a few minutes as Skar gets treated. "Thank you..." Prenci says to Naota as she begins treating Naota's wounds. "I haven't done anything." Prenci says to Naota. "No...You saved my husband. He had already said his goodbyes to me...That man was ready to sacrifice himself for the greater good of Bluemoon because as soon as the moon shined blue he knew...The hero had arisen today." Prenci says to Naota.

"A hero? What's that about?" Naota asks Prenci. "There is a legend which says that when the moon shines blue a hero shall rise to protect this place called Bluemoon. The moon hasn't shined blue in years but today...its shining blue...Which means a hero has arisen..." Prenci says to Naota.

Naota feels a drip of tear on his neck.

"He...He took away our child...Skar had to always be near him because...Because he had threatened him to kill me too...He brutally murdered our baby...Please...End it all...There is nothing else I ask from you...Our hero..." Prenci covers her face as she cries.

Naota clenches his fist and begins to grit his teeth in anger. "Take care of Skar..." Naota storms out in anger.

(You might have done injustice to people Pistom Mortel but you should have never...Killed someone's kid...That's something I can never forgive...I will end it all by killing you once and for all...)

Naota's determination seems to be unwavering now.

On the other end,

An axe and a spear's edge clash together.

"You have a strong axe." Loin says to Maria. Maria readies herself. "Oh? You aren't talking much I see...THEN LET'S GO!!!" Loin rushes Maria again.

Back during the training with Mason,

"Maria, you know that Lily wouldn't be able to last that long against anyone who has a strong weapon. She is a long ranger and so is Grafali. I ain't worried about Grafali but Lily's body is still that of a kid and that is why...If there is a time where you get separated from Lily, don't let the fight drag on, end it as quickly and swiftly as possible." Mason said to Maria. "And how would I do that?" Maria asked Mason.

Mason smiles.

Present,

"Ready your axe like it's a sword and you are some kind of warrior." Maria takes a stance where her axe faces her opponent while she bends both her legs vertically.

"WHAT'S WRONG?! WHY ARE YOU CLOSING YOUR EYES?! HAVE YOU ACCEPTED YOUR DEATH?!"

Then Maria gets her axe upto her face.

"THIS IS THE END!" Loin screams. "That's right, this is the end." Maria opens her and drags her axe from the bottom to the top cutting open Loin's body in half. "That's how you end it." Maria says as she smashes her axe back on the ground.

"Jeez, that fight didn't even last more than a minute, then again...I need to conserve my strength...There may be more people like him inside the castle." Maria realises something. "No time to waste gotta run." Maria says as she begins to run from the castle's back entrance.

A smile appears in the dark.
