Interlude: Naki's Pursuit

Day: 9/26/991; Time: 2nd hour

The room was dimly lit and the doors were locked; the conversation taking place was meant to be a secret.

"So, you are telling me that he passed through here a few days ago?" asked a blonde-haired woman with a katana by her side.

"Yes, Gin spoke with the queen in my presence. He is heading towards the Brave Mountains. I do not know the reason but it seems to be an important mission," replied the tall blonde noble.

"It probably has something to do with the stones. That man is obsessed with stopping us from getting to them! I'm going to follow him with my men. Maybe we'll be able to grab ourselves a stone from the Kildar!" exclaimed Naki.

"You may do as you wish as long as Gaea remains undisturbed," replied the noble.

"Of course, Servio. The Blades of Malice value your aid immensely; without it we would have never acquired the Emerald. Your lovely queen will remain safe from harm. The Grand Commander does not go back on his word," replied Naki.
