CHAPTER 7: Ambush Halfway to Central City

In Capital Port, a large mob of people from the eastern half of the world had gathered. This group included the elves, dwarves, ninjas, easterners, barbarians, tekkians, tribal peoples, holy peoples, southerners, and samurai . the elves were the last to arrive, having been the last to leave their capital city. Everyone else, fearful of being late, gathered in Capital Port for two weeks before the meeting. Therefore, a very large army gathered up in the middle of Capital Port and began heading off on the trade road.

Halfway on the trade road, an random explosion missing everyone blasted the road apart. The mob dissipated and panic ran through everyone.

Two dark-cloaked men holding enchanted swords yelled, "Attack!"

As their hoods fell off, Nicolai gasped in horror. "Klem? Zenon?"

Indeed, the two mages were Klem and Zenon. Zenon was another high-ranking elven noble who vanished a month ago. A battle began. Zenon stabbed Phineas in the leg as Phineas attempted to punch Klem. Klem summoned a black mist, choking everyone but Zenon and his subordinates. The battle raged on. Nicolai, in a fit of desperation fired an special elven arrow that could not miss, called a U-Arrow.the U-Arrow surged forward and struck Klem in the eye.

"YARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!" cried Klem in pain. Klem fell and was trampled by several people.
The condensation of the mist told Zenon his partner was dead and his body had been transmuted into heavy matter and imploded on itself.

"You'll pay for that, Nicolai!" yelled Zenon. Zenon charges forward only to be forcefully changed into his actual form, the female of Lavia. Lavia was an elven priest who wandered on the Isle of the Ghosts and was never seen again. Lavia silences Nicolai and removes all his mana so he cannot shoot a U-Arrow again, before pouncing, only to miss and break a couple bones.

That's when the Nicolai disappears. Lavia stares in horror.

Nicolai's projection has succeeded, and he drags Lavia to the edge of the battle, and questions her.

"Who sent you? Who else is with you?"

Lavia, shaking with fear, answers,"Klem was with me. Any other questions?"

"Not who was with you in that ambush, who are you working with in your headquarters?

"I'm part of a organization called the-"

Another dark-cloaked man appears and stabs Lavia in the neck. Lavia falls over and dies instantly. The man teleports away. Just now, the last of the cloaked ambushers have been defeated. Nicolai then tells Sarah and Urza all his theories and everything he heard from Lavia.

Something is not right.
