[warlord.]

The three quickly followed.

[Balsam]

The door led into the front room of a small house. Once they got through. the way back vanished, and in its place was a coat closet.

"... You have to help us." Clorica pleaded. "I know you're likely just here for her.... But you must help us. We can't let this go on...."

"Clorica, what'shappening?"

[warlord.]

Len looked like he was going insane. "Rinny... Rinny..."

"Len, calm down."

[Balsam]

Clorica sighed. ". .. You obviously know. .... I can get you all into where Rin and the child are being kept. In return... Please help us. Get rid of our 'king'."

Luka frowned. ".... We may be able to do that.... In order to prevent this from happening again, it's our best shot...."

"Good.... .... Come with me." Clorica left the house.

The girls followed.

[warlord.]

The guys followed as well.

[Balsam]

Clorica led them up to the royal tree. There were guards standing before all the entrances, holding swords. Instead of going through an entrance, she walked up to a somewhat forgotten set of cellar doors. She opened them. ".... Jump in. Don't worry, there's something down there to break your fall. Best of luck to you."

Luka and Teto jumped in without hesitation. They fell into a large pile of hay, which they instantly scrambled out of. "Come on, boys!"

[warlord.]

The guys did the same.

[Balsam]

Clorica ran off.

Luka looked around. She turned pale. "What on earth....?"

The 'cellar' was a large cavern system, inside of which the tree's roots were overgrown. It had been turned into a prison dungeon, newly constructed and filled cells everywhere.

Teto flapped her wings once. "Oh my..... .... Humans and elves alike.... R-Ren has been busy."

[warlord.]

Gakupo's eyes widened.

Mytho grit his teeth. "..."

Len looked around. He seemed to calm down.

[Balsam]

Luka looked at the nearest cell. "Keki!"

Keki was sitting in the cell, staring at the wall. She had been crying. "....?" She turned around. "You... You're all here!"

"Keki?!"
