To Suwako's relief, the rest of their journey was uneventful. She ended up enjoying the ship ride more than she had expected, as she stood on the bow of the ship, her long hair fluttering freely in the wind. They went pass a lot of wondrous locations that she would love to investigate further if she had the chance. There were still the occasional Gorelion but they didn't seem to dare approach the ship, which was just fine to her.

And finally, they arrived to their destination; a castle looking terribly gothic in its construction. Suwako watched as Helga opened a secret passage. Apparently, those stairs would lead to the dungeons of the castle. She suggested that they split into three groups, with one going down these stairs to rescue the hostages.

"That could work," Suwako commented on her plan. "I would go down to the dungeons. I could order my vines to spread around and look for the prisoners."

Alexander then told the group that he too wished to rescue the prisoners. And by that, he meant Lily. His ability would surely be useful in close combat fight, Suwako thought. And speaking of close combat, she realized her bow would be quite gimped if she had to fight down there. But her plant manipulation ability could be very useful. She guessed she would just have to fight mostly with the latter.

Suddenly, she heard a shriek. It sounded like Ellie's. Turning around, it came from the direction from the girl indeed. She looked like she was looking at something so terrifying that it paralyzed her ability to move. But there was nobody there. Nobody other than...

"Libby?"
