Nicolai awoke in a dark room.
Urgh.... Why am I so exhausted? What did I do yesterday? Cause another raid upon another helpless village, like I am feeling right now? I wonder, what in the name of Elvidius [the elven god] is going on?
Nicolai realizes he is laying on a hard metal bed.
ARGH! That hurts so bad! Urgh...
"Huh? What's this note?" says Nicolai, noticing a crumpled up paper sheet on the floor.
The note read:
Dear Myself,
I know you are reading this, and I want to tell you one thing. You have been
brainwashed. No matter what-DO NOT GO EVIL!
-Nicolai
"Brainwashed? Really now, Is that the best you can come up with, Rahcaz? Nice joke and all, but really?" excalims Nicolai, as he crumples up the note.
A hooded man walks into the room. His voice comes out as a monotonous croak. "Nicolai. You have been ordered to attack a group of rebels currently in hiding at Jaem Tuung. A raid group will be waiting for you in Galgamath. Good luck, and do not fail us foolishly like Klem, Lavia, and Zenon did."
Nicolai, having received orders he agrees with, sets out for Jaem Tuung. That's strange. Why do I reckon I am about to attack Sarah, William, and Uriah. Wait, who are Sarah, William, and Uriah? Ah, must be my nerves.
In Jaem Tuung, Nicolai's disappearance and Sarah's sudden vision of Nicolai being brainwashed causes Sarah to awake with a start.
"Oh no. Nicolai has been brainwashed. We need to save him now!" exclaims Sarah.
"Are you sure you weren't just dreaming? I felt a little woozy too, after that dark magic." replies Uriah.
Sarah is unsure, and the lot go back to sleep.
The next day at 3:00 in the morning, seven arrows are fired directly at the gate of Jaem Tuung, killing all five guards and injuring Uriah, who was on lookout, in the leg twice.
