[hr]
Sakura couldn't believe what she heard from Ayita. A human was helping Aklenroth? There was no way Ayita's kin would ever help the undead, let alone a lich king like Aklenroth unless they were brainwashed or were forced to serve him. They probably cast a spell on that human, or maybe, just maybe, they ordered a demon to possess their bodies. The demoness looked at the crowd around their trio. If there were humans in this place, they would probably in disguise, perhaps posing as elves like Ayita since it's the easiest for them. Sakura wanted to ask Ayita more about what she learned from this human before they would leave towards this port town Cade mentioned.

However, she was interrupted when a hologram of Risa appeared on the Ball's windows and spoke to the crowd. She gave a speech about the dark elves hunting her, about the humans and how she urged them to work together with the rebels to fight against Aklenroth, and she guessed Risa's official proclamation of usurping the lich king from his throne. Sakura noticed all eyes were on the holograms and she took it as a chance to scour the crowd for any potential threats. Before she could, Risa's hologram changed into an image of a fairy's corpse, her body all covered in blood; it was basically just a horrid display that Sakura would've found impressive if she were back in Daka Island.

It was pure chaos. The haughty elf from earlier, Terneus, ordered the guards and prevent anyone from escaping. Among the crowd, a series of chants started, all screaming for Aklenroth's defeat as they seemed to be inspired by what they've seen and heard from the fairy princess. People were fighting with the guards as they all tried to escape and run away from here as fast as possible. Even the humans took their disguises off and proudly proclaimed their loyalty to Risa despite the danger they're being faced with, especially this girl who bravely got on the table next to them and took off her disguise, showing that she's a human too.

[i]'Finally, the fun has begun!'.[/i] Sakura thought evilly to herself.

Ayita suggested to find Risa immediately and leave. They needed to protect the leader of the rebellion if they wanted to have even a single chance of defeating an enemy, plus it will also make them be very prominent and trustworthy members of the rebels. Cade, on the other hand, didn't want to leave some of the humans behind as they could be the keys to defeating Aklenroth. The lich king wouldn't even announce that they should be brought to him dead or alive if they didn't have any importance in turning the tides of battle after all. Both of Sakura's friends were right, so the only problem was finding a way to accomplish both tasks.

[color=#DB9CB7]"Alright, I'll go with Ayita to find and protect the fairy princess so we can get her out of her. Cade, you round up as many humans as you could and then leave. Bring this human with you too."[/color] She said as she pointed at the one standing at the table next to them. [color=#DB9CB7]"Once we're out there..."[/color] Sakura procured two marked talismans and gave Ayita and Cade one each. [color=#DB9CB7]"Tear them up and these will guide you to me. Remember, our objective is to escape from here and get away as far as possible so keep the fighting to a minimum if you can. Cade, be safe out there. Come on, Ayita."[/color] She patted the large cat man on the shoulder before she set off with Ayita to find the fairy princess.

Sakura noticed two guards grabbing a screaming light elf so she threw talismans packed with energy at them, hitting them on the chest and sending them flying away. She threw another talisman straight outside and it continued to fly through the night sky as it made its way towards a specific group Sakura had in mind. The talisman had a message for them, the three words that the group had waited to hear for a very long time:

[i]It is time.[/i]
