The man saw that Mithos interference was going to become a problem. He thought about retreated, but then had a plan since he knew a certain someone wanted a piece of jewelry that one of her allies had. He turned toward the woman then handed her a glowing red symbol placing it in her hand. There was the imprint of a serpent dragon on the face of the symbol along with an arrow pointing upward. [b]"Kill that meddling fool and I will let you have the Dragon Rune which will help you get what you are after. Do we have a deal?"[/b] He asked the woman as he stood back to see what her response to would be.

[b]"Mithos, these people are dangerous. Perhaps we should just..."[/b] Right when Ranathia was about to finish her statement a group of men barred their path toward escaping toward the portal. [b]"So much for that idea."[/b] She continued as you could sense the hint of disappointment in her voice and also see the expression of worry on her face as it looked like she was gritting her teeth in anger.

Another man hidden in the shadows unknown to the other group of villains grinned as he spoke toward the woman he handed the rune to. [b]"Why not just take it all? That girl has special power and is known as The Key. Why not take the Dragon Rune and capture that girl for yourself? She may even prove to be a useful bargaining chip toward what you want. You know her niece would do anything to ensure the safety of her own aunt, but I know you wouldn't harm her knowing that she is special. Do not let this man trick you. He's not one to be trusted. Trust me instead and take all the power for yourself."[/b]
