The small village that was once seemed peaceful was now covered in black blood. All the spider's guts had exploded and were out on the field.

"Did you do that Van?

" Bliss asked.

But Van didn't reply, instead, he remained with both of his hands held out, shaking for the worst to come.

Then suddenly a fist came out and was planted right on Van's check hitting him hard and sending him to the floor.

"What do you think you're doing!

" Bliss shouted.

"This guy,

" Blake said standing over him.

"He could have done that at the very beginning, he could have saved the other two student's lives.

"

Bliss hated to be the one to agree with Blake but what he said was true. If Van was able to do something like that, then why did he wait until now to use it.

However, the punch didn't do much to Van, he stood up from the ground and looked at everyone.

"We have to run, get out of here, everyone I will stay here.

"

"No!

" Flynn said, ��No more students are dying and I hate to say it Van but do you know what would happen if you were to die, the whole kingdom would be in an uproar. Think of your mother.

"

The students there including Bliss didn't understand the professor's words at all. That was because the professor was the only person there who knew Van's true identity, the prince of the Alure kingdom.

Just then though, their attention was focused on something else. They could hear something coming towards them from the forest and judging by the sound of each step it was incredibly fast.

"I knew it, they're here.

" Van said,

"Everyone run!

"

But the students knew by just how fast the mysterious figure was coming towards them, they would have no hope of running away. Then finally, the figure had come into view.

A large black wolf around the size of a house.

"That looks like it's going to be a lot more difficult than those spiders.

" Said Bliss.

Everyone readied into a fighting position once again, but as they looked at the beast and could see it getting closer they could see people on top of the thing.

"Are there people on top of that thing?

" A student asked.

"I think there waving.

"

As the beast got closer, they could also hear a voice yelling out at them.

"Hey, guys!

" Max shouted,

"Don't attack, it's us Max and the rest, we come in peace.

"

Just then a thump was felt on top of Max's head.

"What do you mean and the rest?

" Professor Springett said with her fist clenched.

The wolf had come to a halt as it reached the village. Standing firm and strong. As the rest looked at the beast they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Max and the others were really riding on top of such a thing.

Noir then bent down to allow the others to climb off her and once they all had done, she started to walk over to a specific student. The rest of the students cleared a path for her. Still afraid that something might happen at any second.

Just looking at the beast they felt like if they got on it's bad side it would be able to finish them with a single swipe of its claw.

It carried on moving until it eventually reached Van. it started to sniff and look at him for a second and everyone watching gulped.

"Hey hey, calm down he's not food,

" Max said standing in between the two.

Noir then looked at the uniform of both of them and realised it was the same one Ray had told her to protect. Making sure to follow her masters order. She left the student alone and went to lie down away from the well but still inside the village.

"Oh, Springett I missed you so much!

" Flynn said with tears running down his face as he came over to hug her.

"Hey, where are the rest of the students?

" a student asked,

"Shouldn't there be more.

"

As Springett pushed Flynn away from her she looked around to assess the situation, only two had died on their side while eight on hers.

"I'm afraid we ran into some trouble and they have been killed,

" Springett answered.

Some of the students once again broke down in tears. They were either close friends, while others were just afraid for their lives.

As Bliss, Kaito, Van and Max regrouped as a team together, they realised one person was missing.

"Was Nes one of the student's that died then?

" Bliss asked.

"No, we thought he might have been with your group.

" Max replied,

" But I guess not.

"

"Do you think he could be out there on his own?

" Kaito added.

"Possibly, I mean we don't even know if he was transported here in the first place.

" Bliss said,

"How did you manage to find us?

"

Max then pointed at Noir who was now peacefully sleeping to the side.

"That wolf saved us when we were in trouble, it seems to understand human language. I don't know why but it asked us to get on its back and that's when it suddenly changed direction. Maybe it got the scent off one of the students.

" Max said.

But what Max was saying didn't make any sense Bliss thought. Why would the wolf suddenly help them and how would it know what their scent was like? It had never met them before so it had to be something else that took them here.

Although Bliss didn't think too hard about it, in the situation they were in they needed all the help they could get.

That's when Springett came over to Bliss and her group, along with professor Flynn.

"Bliss, Kaito,

" Springett said.

"We came over here to ask you if you have any ideas on how to get back. You two are our top students after all and sometimes even impress us.

"

"I have a way we can get back.

" Kaito replied,

"The circle that brought us here, before we left I looked at it in detail, I remember everything about it and I'm pretty confident I can reverse it.

"

The group's eyes had lit up and the new information that had been revealed to them.

"Hey, you're not so useless after all,

" Max said as he punched Kaito on the shoulder.

"There's a problem though,

" Kaito said.

"It's the power source, right?

" Bliss asked.

Kaito nodded.

"To transport us all back we need something of equal power to the crystal back at Roland.

"
