Timothy stiffened, before he nodded reluctantly.
Pi then smiled knowingly, before responding, “There’s a reason why Luther, the acting captain of Night Rose could not kill him.”
“Killing the former member might cause a rebellion.” Timothy finally realizes, “Meaning that former member may be significant.”
Pi nodded this time. She was silent for a moment, before looking at Timothy seriously, and then asked, “So, what are you suggesting I do?" With Luther around, Night Rose might continue causing havoc anywhere.
Timothy and Rosa exchanged glances. Rosa then shook her head, resigned. That only means that she was also unsure on what to do.
Pi was patient. She waited for them to process their thoughts, and only took a sip from her drink from time to time.
After a few more minutes of silence, Timothy spoke, “We need to think this through first,” he said honestly.
Pi nodded, “I

What did Pi said earlier? He knew damn well that it's a threat, if it’s not a curse.Timothy knew that if he fails on his mission to take out the former member and bring the captain back or if the prisoner escapes, one of them would not be making it out back to the town of Six. Rosa cleared her throat, before she reached out and help Timothy’s hand. She then asked with concern, “What are you thinking about? You always seem to be thinking about a lot these days.”Timothy brushes the thoughts off and tried to smile. He knew it was not convincing, but he still wanted to assure her that he was fine. He then replied, “It’s nothing much… just thinking about life if we didn’t leave Shadowcoast. Do you think it would have been better?”Before she could answer he added, "Life was tough there, but given all that we went through… isn't it better to just stay?"Rosa stared at him, fo

“Arwin?” A familiar voice echoes throughout the river stream.Arwin immediately covers her mouth as she asked, “What are you doing here, Nexus?”Nexus removed Arwin’s hands and says, “I followed you.”"Oh wow, you followed me. I didn't know that." Arwin sarcastically replies, trying to be as cautious as possible,"Yeah, I followed you through the- Oh… you were sarcastic." Nexus remarks as she continues, "Wow, Arwin, your sarcasm is so fluent." Arwin looks around to make sure they are not being followed by anyone. She says to Nexus in a softer voice, "Look, you can't be with me. Why did you even follow me? I'm barely a stranger. "“You’re not. You seem awfully close with my dad.”“That just sounds wrong.” Arwin sighs, “Ah geez, I need to take you back home.”Nexus protests, “You can’t.”"What do you me

"Come here!" Taflen squabbles with Cain quite disorderly, which makes Rosa, remember when Timothy used to do that with Mark and his fellow close friends. Now, she can barely recognize him.Timothy seems distant and untrusting lately.Arwin’s death affected him so much because partly, he double-crosses Arwin to get out of Sinas’ grip.“You need to get out of this village. My husband- Timothy, he’s coming to kill you.” Rosa looks away, “I told Pi that you fit the description of the captain’s image that I extracted from Cain.”"Pi?" Taflen switches to a serious voice as he continues, "She can tell immediately if you're lying. They modified their senses similar to the animals with good instincts using technology. If your husband returns to them empty–handed and without you, Pi's people will come after you. Even your husband."“I know.” Rosa stands firm as she clenches her fist, “Bu

She cuts her hand and watches it bleed without healing.With a chuckle, she remarks under her breathe, “I guess I’m not immortal either.”Arwin is back right where she started. She's just a normal human being right now, and once again, she will have to rely on her instincts to survive. Pretending to be a man saved her back then and now, being a woman will.The next day comes, and Arwin is up early, clothing herself similarly to Nexus'.

Arwin lets her hair down as well, as she adds an orange scarf.Nexus remarks as she tiredly gets up from her bed, rubbing her eyes and still yawning. She says to Arwin, "Isn't the goal not to get any attention?""Well, you see, Night Rose won't recognize me. They all believed that their captain was a sturdy male figure, and my friends from the forest knew I'd be the type to hide in and blend with the crowd." Arwin remarks,

“What? Catch your breath!” Gloin remarks“He’s awake!”Gloin flinches, and he looks back at Arwin as he hesitates to call her, but she's already gone. Gloin sighs, but then they head back to their place. Simon stands over there with a series of medical apparatus.He finishes up placing dextrose on Mark and says, "He's going to be okay now. He's just been dehydrated for days, and he needed to get those nutrients in his body, so I injected some dextrose."Mark groans but continues to rest.John asks, “Will he wake up? He opened his eyes earlier, right?”“Yes. He will be fine.”"Arwin…" Mark mutters in his sleep, and that name makes Simon flinch. Simon looks back at Mark, and he wants to ask more about the name, but Gloin easily maneuvers the conversation as he says, "Simon, I heard you're the merchant tasked to judge our works. I would like to show you mine."Simon clea

He immediately checks the belongings scattered all over the place, and there is still no sign of Rosa. Timothy thought to himself that he must have been out for at least a day. Cain already erased the trail.So instead of going after Rosa, which is something the old Timothy would do and is what Rosa is aiming for... Timothy sighs and proceeds to the city. Timothy knows he can't waste any more time than he already did.Timothy, still feeling weak, continues to walk towards the way to the city. As he arrives, he tries to hide his appearance and asks around Taflen, but no one understood what he is saying until an elder speaks to him, "You seem lost. What are you doing here?"“You can understand my language?”The elder nods, "Just a few days ago, a girl arrives here as well, speaking your tongue. So… what have you come here for?"“I’m looking for a friend. His name’s Taflen.”The elder flinches but then

Timothy gives a light nod and continues speaking to avoid suspicions on Pi’s end, “So I believe you have the prisoner that would tell me where Taflen is currently at, am I right?”Sinas smirks and writes down next, “Well, I can do you a favor or two. If I say anything now, whoever’s listening would hunt Rosa down knowing that Taflen’s with her.”Timothy asks, still relating to the previous topic, “So what do you want in return?”"Just little gold coins would do." Sinas speaks and writes the real answer down the board: "I need your help to locate Taflen. After Mark, you're the best tracker I've ever worked with."“Granted.” Timothy throws off some gold coins to the floor to fool Pi’s end that that was really the deal the two had made. He is gritting his teeth as he walks towards Sinas’ and continues, “After this, our transaction is done.”Sinas simply smiles, k
