*hangs head
still* Am... am I really?*hangs head
still* Am... am I really?
Mire?
Are you ok?
Did I really
cause all this?
You did
nothing wrong Mire. He's just trying to plant thoughts into your
head.
But... I was
an orphan for many years. There is no record of my parents. One
of the nuns claimed to have found me in a flower garden.
Mire...
All the pain
that Erim caused in the past. Reviving the evil over and over
again. *thinks* Hell my name spelt backwards is Erim.
Hmmm...
Erim did have great powers...
So do you
Mire.
But... Erim
was evil.
*puts sword
away* It doesn't matter who you were, it matters who you are now.
And frankly, I'm not letting anybody hurt you.
Rhys...
Even if you
were Erim, so what? Do I care? No. To me, you are and always were
Mire.
Rhys...
thank you.
But... who
are those thieves?
Oh, I can
explain that to a certain point. The Black Card Thieves are
orphans themselves who never found a home. Duece used to be a
good kid. He's about my age and we always did things together. We
played cards a lot too, but then one day, he met up with Jack
Diamond. Jack was one of Ace's cronies.
Does it make
sense that they all have card names?
Who are the
other members?
I don't
know.
Mommy
told me that there are 6 members now with the addition of Duece.
There is Ace Blade, The King and Queen of Hearts, Jack Diamond,
Duece Wilde... and if I remember correctly, Duece's older
brother, whom everyone refers to as Joker Wilde.
And these
thieves are working under Tsarkon?
Then Tsarkon
can get the Gods revived?
He needs the
Dark Princess to revive them, right?
Or was that
to revive the Queen of the Night?
*with eyes
closed* Tsarkon... he needs two human sacrifices to bring back
the Gods... Preferably of Royalty.
... and he
already has one! Lord Sandor.
And if he's
going to Oasis next?
King Ali?!
We have to
get to Oasis, and fast!
But Oasis
is a long ways away.
Not if we
take the underground tunnel.
What's that?
It is a
warp that takes us to other castles in this world. *looks around
the throne* Ah, here it is. *pulls a lever, which reveals a door
to a dark basement*
Amazing.
We have to
be careful though. The tunnel used to be a burial ground for
ancient kings before it became a warp.
