Ynesr disappeared but the villagers stayed on their knees. Koruam and the other Ofuro walked into the village. "Povva, you set up guards in this town and make sure the villagers will restore the damage here. After that make sure we get our contribution from them and dispose of the unneccessary soldiers." Povva looked away. "Y...yes sir." A soldier behind him and Lesav whispered to another soldier next to him. "A paper bag can run this town better than him." Koruam overheared them and grinned. "Make sure I get any gold and slaves from this town.... paper bag." Povva looked at Koruam. "Y...yes sir... off course sir..."

A soldier chuckled to Lesav and Karutsu, but when the girl gave him a nasty look, he shut up. "God I cannot wait to kick his butt", she whispered and crossed her arms on her chest. Then she remembered something. "Have you seen Lamento?" she asked from the soldier next to her. "Lamento? Oh.. I'm afraid he couldn't make it..." Karutsu turned to him and looked at him surprised. "I'm sorry", the soldier said, "Were you more than just friends?" The blue-haired girl rolled her eyes, snorted and ignored this soldier the same way as she had done to Lesav.

"Heh, glad this is all over" Lesav told himself. "I kinda hate to harm innocent civilians like this...vbut it is my job afterall. Speaing of a job..."
He directed his horse to Povva and approached him. "Hey boss! Got to remind you that my contract is now expired. You asked me to gaurd you in the next battle and so i did. If you want me to stay and do my job in the next battle I would need to see a nice little gold nut first. Sorry...but I need the gold."

Karutsu looked for Lamento everywhere, but couldn't see him. One of the soldiers grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back. "He's dead, believe me." The girl shook her head. "I will not believe he is dead", she whispered, "Until I've seen his body." "But there is no body!" the soldier shouted and Karutsu put her hand on his mouth. Karutsu smiled a little: "Then Lamento is not dead. I'm going to find him. Take care." She was about to leave the army, but the soldier followed her. "They won't let you leave, unlike with Lamento, everyone seems to notice if you do something." "Look", Karutsu turned around, "There is one difference between me and all you others, okay? Unlike you and your friends, I am not a cricket trapped into Koruam's box. I alone determine my destiny." "But Karutsu, as Lamento's best friend, I have to help you!" "If Lamento is really dead", she grinned, "Then you are no longer his best friend." She continued her way out but the soldier stopped her once again. "Karutsu, I know who you are", he said, "If you leave now, you won't keep your promise to the Devil... And also, you won't keep your promise to Koruam. You will become a cursed one..." Karutsu bit her lip and wondered how the soldier knew about the contract with the Devil she had made once. "You're right", she said.

Koruam walked over to Norhoz his group. "What seems to be the problem here?" he asked to Karutsu.
Povva grabbed in his bag for more nuts. "Here take this, it's a crystal nut. Protect me while I am stationed here. I can feel the icy hand of Gaag on my shoulder..." Povva almost looked a bit paranoid and handed over the crystal nut, the most expensive nut in the world.

The soldier bowed five times when Koruam approached them but Karutsu didn't bother doing that. "Nothing sir... Absolutely nothing.." the soldier said with a trembling voice, feeling Karutsu's and Koruam's glare. Well, especially Karutsu's. The girl decided not to make a witty comment just once, to save herself from more trouble.

Lesav eagerly took the nut and inspected it to be sure of it's value. It not that he had ever seen a crystal nut before, he just never had one in his hands. Finely he decided that this was indeed the real thing.
"Very well boss, this will do most nicely. Aslong as Lesav is here not even a small fly can get close to you." He smirked. "You can count on ym sword as usuall."

(( oh God, wake up people! ))
Even though Koruam and so many other high ranked members of the army had their eyes on Karutsu, she decided that she would surely try and find Lamento. But in a way she would not break the contract with the Devil, about Koruam...
[in the past] "Are you happy now princess Karutsu?" The blue-haired girl was on her knees in a puddle of blood and was trembling. Anyone would be trembling in her situation, when facing the Devil itself. Like so many people always had imagined, Devil was a man with dark long hair and demonic eyes. He was wearing a black armor and a long black cape. "What will you do now, princess?" he asked once again. Karutsu stood up but then felt another hit from the burning whip on her back and fell down. "Now that you have gotten what you want", the Devil said, "I of course need you to pay me that." "I haven't gotten anything from you..." Karutsu stuttered, "We had a contract..! I was suppose to rule over my world as a queen and marry the man I love! Why did you betray me like this..?! Lucifer!" "Don't call me by that name", the Devil said loudly, "Now I am no fool, your majesty. I gave you a chance, and you messed things up on your own. I have nothing to do with this." Karutsu cried. Her face was wet from tears and sweat; her blue hair had glued on her cheeks and she couldn't breathe properly in the terrible heat of Hell. "You have been here for many many years Karutsu", the Devil said with a pitiful look on his face, "I am very sure a visit to earth would only do good for you..." "Earth..?" Karutsu repeated the word she had not heard for a very long time. "Yes, the humanworld", The Devil smirked, "Do you remember what forests looked like? The sound of water? The taste of food?" Karutsu shook her head and stared back into the man's eyes. "The world of Eesgo", said the Devil, "Plus our contract." "Contract?" Karutsu repeated again, "What.. kind of contract?" The Devil was even happier when Karutsu asked him. "If you ever want to feel the heart of the man you love next to yours", he said, "You will have to serve the Immortal. Serve him loyally, treat him the way you want to be treated, and I will free you from your curse..." The Devil pointed at Karutsu who knew what he meant; the scar on her right scapula, that nothing could heal, that would hurt and haunt her forever. "Serve Koruam the Immortal", the Devil spoke, "Until he has reached his goal. If you fail, you will live an eternal life in the empty, black corridors of my kingdom." Karutsu nodded and bowed, which was very painful because of her bloody wounds on her back and in her arms. The Devil opened a dimensional gate, since the contract was made. Before Karutsu could step in, he grabbed her arm and whispered in her ear: "Let no one know about our contract. Especially not Koruam.. Don't let him now that you are a messenger and a princess from Hell." He let go of Karutsu, who was sucked into the dimensional gate and disappeared into the world of Eesgo... [/in the past]
"Karutsu!" She woke up from her thoughts and looked around her. One of the soldiers was waving at her.

((Hope it is okay I skip time a little))
Some time had passed and now Lesav was enjoying the flavour of his favorite beverage: beer. He didn't mind it when, where and how it was made, aslong as he could get drunk with it.
Ofcourse he was sitting all alone, far away from the other soldiers. the solitair mercenary in tthe entire army of Koruam. He didn't mind...he had beer. He took another sip and sighed. "This is what makes fighting worth the while...Wonder what happens next..." He grinnend, with signs of a drunken haze coming up, taking another sip...

((sure it is))
It has been several weeks since Koruam conquered Mekte. He walked outside and Norhoz came to him. "Koruam I have an idea how we can get to the elemental stones." Koruam frowned. "Tell me." "I have constructed a game here in Mekte in all my free time. With it we can arrange a huge contest in the ancient Arena of the Gods in Critatica. I am sure that Desuv and Pesf will come there in the hope that Jinn and I will be there. I am quite confident as well that other stones might show up there." Koruam smiled. "Interesting, tell me how do we know if the stones are there, and what kind of a game are you thinking of?" Norhoz handed a scroll to Koruam which he unrolled. "Whenever a player loses he will be sent to the Thca Labyrinth of Eternal Darkness, which we will contruct outside of the arena. Of course before a player is sent into the arena we will take all weapons from them, including the stone to prevent cheating. The game is played with a book full of spells and a bag full of little stones which are spells as well. Players have to defeat each other with spells and summoned creatures from all over Eesgo. When a player faints he loses." Koruam laughed. "This idea is genius. We will do it. See to it Norhoz." He saluted and walked away to arrange the needed procedures. Koruam walked through the little town. Well it seems like we will be heading to Shadoga soon then...

Karutsu was leaning against a wooden wall and sitting on a barrel and resting. There had been no signs of Lamento, not a single one. And she was a little worried, but tried not to show it. Another soldier walked to her. "No signs of Lamento", he said, "He must be dead already." "I've had enough", Karutsu said coldly, "Won't you help me escape this army? I need to find him." The soldier shook his head. "Too many eyes watching you everywhere.. Didn't I tell you? Unlike Lamento, everyone is keeping an eye on you, even though you might not see it." Karutsu slided down from the barrel. "Alright then", she said, "I'll do it alone."

"Do what....alone?" Lesav hiccuped, he slendered towards her, taking a nother sip from the almost empty bottle. "You are going to run....away?" He asked while letting himself fall flat on the grass close to her. "Thats not really warriorlike running away from...battle." He took the last sip from the bottle before he threw it next to himself on the ground. "I wish I was more of a warrior...instead of a moronic scumbag who abandonded his wife and daughter.."." He slowly closed his eyes for a nice long sleep with a painfull head for the next morning"

Koruam yelled out a speech at all the soldiers who where currently there and especially the Ofuro. "Dear soldiers!" he started. Highly unusual for Koruam to say. "Our dear Ofuro Norhoz has prepared a new event for us. He call it the Shadow Games. The rules will be concluded later. It shall be held in Critatica and it shall be in a year from now. Me and Norhoz will personally see to it that the game will be distributed to all the corners of the world. In a month you will all be able to learn the game and practice for the preliminaries. Only the best two players of this army will move on together with Norhoz as a team to the games set in the Ancient Arena of the Gods. We shall leave Mekte in three days and march for home! To Gatamar!" the soldiers cheered and drank some more of the booze that was given out by the local to keep the soldiers pleased.

Karutsu gave a disgusted look towards Lesav. "Didn't I make my message clear enough earlier?" she asked so coldly that a few soldiers nearby had to put on some extra clothing, "Talk to me again and I'll make sure nothing remains of you. Oh, and to answer to your little comment of before about me inspecting you; I don't socialize with pathethic men like you." She felt happy inside now to have said everything to Lesav, and watched him doze off. Karutsu heard Koruam talking, about a game. "A game.." she smirked, "Have I ever told you how much I loves games?" she asked from the soldier who had tried to stop him. "No, but good thing", the soldier smiled and took Lesav's bottle, only to notice it was empty, "That means you don't have to run away." "Wrong", Karutsu said, "If I don't get to participate the Shadow Games, I shall go after that cowardly Lamento." And before she walked away, she kicked Lesav's ((not hard of course)) foot.

"Ugh" Lesav groanend and sowly openend up his eyes. "What the hell did I do and how long was I asleep" He questionend himself with a low whsiper when he noticed that his head felt as if it was being trampled by a million horses. He stood up as if he was an old man with a terrible back ache and slowly strecthed his muscles.
"Somehow I think I have missed something very important" He said to himself as he walked around. Then he noticed the many empty bottles scattering the ground...
"Woah, never knew I coud drink that much!"'It took a while before his mind started to wrok and when it did a loud yell was heard in the entire town.
Free booze...and he slept right trough it.
