A cloudy sky does not mean rain will fall, but a cold wind never lies about natural conditions and weather changes. When their steps succeeded in treading on the sacred land of the Elves they knew the path would not be easy.
Staring at the ruins of buildings that have been covered with even shapeless moss, in the dark of the night a glimpse of only rocks and nature.
"You sure this is the place?" asked Damien doubtfully.
"It should be so, the place fits on the map," Alessa replied.
He walked first, looking at rocks of various sizes and shapes. There was even a pole resembling three meters high, although it had fused with nature but he was sure to find an answer there.
"Oxans! look at!" shout Damien.
Rushing Alessa approached and also noticed a stone that seemed to be split perfectly straight, the chunk of stone was also perfectly round as polished.
Scrubbing a bit of the surface to remove the moss they were surprised to find a carving with a dragon.
Staring at each other without a word they smiled because one step closer to what they were looking for.
Staring around Alessa began to inspect each stone, apparently all round-shaped chunks of stone had different carvings.
Getting Alessa's lead tells Damien to shift the stones to get close to each other, it takes energy of course because the stone is quite heavy even for a vampire though.
"You rarely exercise" said Alessa seeing the difficulties Damien faced when shifting the stones.
"You try to do it yourself, uh," Damien said with a stifling expression.
"I'm a woman, after all, don't you always manage to deal with a lot of enemies even if it's a troll? it's just a rock that doesn't fight Damien" he replied.
"I'd rather use my brain than my muscles when I'm fighting" he replied, leaning on the last stone he moved.
Alessa raised one eyebrow in response to Damien's expression, turning on the stones she returned to serious fashion.
"What do you think this is?" ask Damien.
"Maybe a story, you see? every stone has a different image but it's like it's interconnected."
"Can you read it?" ask again.
"I feel like I've seen pictures like this" he murmured as he thought.
It took a few seconds for Alessa until she remembered, opening her bag she took out a small black-coated book.
"It's a good thing I brought it, I can't believe it's gonna be useful."
"What's that?" ask Damien curiously.
"Magic Mistress Records, I stole it the night I escaped. Here he writes things that are not explained in other books" he explained.
Damien frowned, it was fitting that the Magician named Alessa as an arrogant disciple. Alessa is naughty.
"Ah here it is!" the thrill of matching an oblong-shaped image that is swallowed.
"What does that mean?" ask Damien.
"Be careful, then." he answered while looking for the meaning of the other image.
He decided to translate each picture in the note to make it easier to read.
"Done!" alessa exclaimed after a few minutes.
"What does that mean?" asked Damien who since then could only wait and ask.
"According to my estimation this is a story, a story about the Rider who was born from the womb of the Elves. When the world was in the midst of chaos the god dripped his blood on the womb of the Elves to make him the leader, he said, after feeling the cruelty of lust a sign appeared on his forehead as a sign that the time would come and a warning for them to prostrate immediately. The Rider will go around showing his splendor on the sacred pet god, dragon."
There was a silence after Alessa finished explaining, the two of them actually digested that short piece of story hoping to find something.
"Literally it is the heart, but after I combine it with another image it means to change to follow another image. I use the easiest language to understand, which is 'feeling the cruelty of lust'" he replied.
Damien nodded, a pity that he had not managed to find anything that could help him save Sophia from fate.
"Then how? is anything else missing?" damien asked almost in despair.
Alessa shook her head, and she didn't even know. Unwilling to go home empty-handed Damien begins to look carefully at every chunk of rock, from the largest to the smallest hoping to find clues.
But until the sun began to show its rays he found nothing but moss and wild plants, no choice he had to go immediately to find a place to shelter.
"We'd better get back, it's hard there's nothing here" asked Alessa who was more worried about Albert.
"Yes" said Damien who suddenly felt guilty because he should have paid more attention to Albert son surprise original from Sophia.
Spending all day with a break Damien woke up as soon as the sky began to dim, he immediately invited Alessa to hurry home.
The journey back to the Zimbe tribe turned out to be faster than the trip they found the ruins, probably because they had memorized the path so they could take the closest route.
Having only spent two days they had arrived, this was the first time Alessa had been able to get to that place and she was amazed by the village.
He did not expect there was a life behind the cave that seemed endless, especially he also knew enough about the Zimbe tribe.
"Damien, you're finally back. "welcome Yarren with an anxious face.
"What's wrong?" ask Damien.
"Albert left, he said he wanted to see Alessa but hasn't come home yet."
"I'm Alessa and I've never met Albert" Alessa said as she alternately stared at Damien and Yarren.
This contact makes a variety of negative thoughts appear, do not want to be eaten by various possibilities Damien immediately went to find Albert accompanied by Alessa and Yarren.

Hahahahahaha Hahahhaa
The laughter was still going on even though it had been five minutes, at the corner of his eyes the water had pooled up to just fall.
Ursula wiped it with a piece of cloth, when her stomach began to feel cramping because for too long laughing finally slowly he was calm.
"Why are you so stupid? is your father's gene so powerful?" tanyanya almost laughed again.
Albert snorted, from his gaze of course clearly seen he was very angry but there was nothing he could do.
"I didn't think it would be easy to catch you" he said.
Albert did not think he would be kidnapped again, but as he remembered he had been very careful when deciding to leave the tribe of Zimbe.
As far as she could remember on the way to Alessa's house there was no one to follow or love, even the people in the village where Alessa lived were indifferent to her normally.
Knowing Alessa is not home she intends to look for firat, but it was during the search that Cheet suddenly appeared before her with several soldiers.
Of course Albert was no match for Cheet even though he managed to subvert his soldiers, from the torment in the cell at that time he already knew that Cheet was far above him.
He himself was confused how the skinny girl could have great strength, with just a few blows he fell and ended up in the same cell as at that time.
There's nothing he can do right now, except hope Damien will find him and save him again.
"Look, I never told you a lie. Whether it's your family or Sophia's, that's why I'm going to leak one more secret to you" Ursula said with a sly grin.
"I will make you as a victim in the resurrection ritual of the Rider, I can already feel its existence then it is certain that the resurrection of our glory will soon arrive. And you'll be there as a witness and as a key" he said.
Albert gulped with difficulty, after seeing with his own eyes Sophia as what Ursula said then certainly his words would come true.
