Koruam looked surprised. "Very nice, you control the powers of Juh without the God himself. Very impressive." Slowly but sure the soldiers managed to collect lot's of material. One group of soldiers where already constructing rough buildings out of the materials.

Soraya was quiet when she and Ryudo rode forward. Another timeline? Lovers? What was that all about? For some reason this all was haunting her mind right now, but she decided not to speak about it to this undead. That necklace was indeed very familiar.

Ryudo noticed that Soraya looked at the necklace. "Remember it yet? I sure do..." he kept his head straight forward and kept riding.

"I used to have a necklace like that", Soraya answered, "It disappeared though.. Such a quencidence that I find it here in this world." She took the necklace carefully from Ryudo and looked at it. Soraya thought it glowed a little, but it was only the daylight passing through the pure crystal heart. And it had one deep shatter on it. "Why would I ever give you a broken junk?" she snorted.

"The last time we met you gave it to me and you said: It's just like my heart, a little shattered and fragile, you can have it, you can have my heart. Even though we'll never meet again, I hope you'll never forget me." A tear rolled on Ryudo's cheek. "I never forgot you... I never told anyone... Norhoz might have the brains to understand such a thing is possible but not Koruam... he never listens to what I have to say, and if he does he thinks I am dumb or stupid... the only reason I stay with him is because he brought me back from the catacombs of Thca."

Fragile? Me? Soraya rolled her eyes. She would've never said anything like that. She had never felt that disgusting feeling of love; that warm and heart pressing feeling. Soraya noticed how Ryudo cried. Was he serious or what... She tried to remember but couldn't. Maybe this undead was only faking it all, and trying to trick her into something. Soraya gave the necklace back to Ryudo. And for her it felt like giving her heart to this man. "Those who cry for love, believe in true love and feel love are fools", she said straight, "You should now, that love is only a weakness. It makes no one stronger. To feel love is to have misguided feelings towards another person... Nothing else. It will only make you feel better, but in the end your heart will be shattered, just like mine." She meant the crystal heart. "Didn't I ever happen to anger you in that other timeline?"

"Yes you did..." he sighed. But he didn't continue on that point. "So... anyway." he said while wiping away his tears. "Where where before you came to Eesgo?"

(( Oh god Infy, rip yourself off from your consoles. >XD ))
Soraya looked away. "I was first on Cresteia of course, then in a city called New York. I went across a deserted area aswell. Somewhere close to Eesgo I felt evil forces, different from Koruam's. It will be rather easy to find them."

((Yeah where the hell are you XD))
"Niew Jorhk? Never heard of that before not even in the alternate timeline... oh well. Do you still have the book? The one with Koruam? Or is that something which is lost in time as well?"

((I am sooo weak. The ps2 is controlling me! Somebody call an exorcist!))
Vivance too came back carrying a few big logs of wood, soldiers of Koruam following behind him, with astonisheds looks. They just witnessed how he cut several tree's down using only his sword..in just one stroke.
All suddenly he let the logs fall on the ground and looked depper into the swampy region. He could feel it...a sinister force lurking nearbye. A force so powerfull...that he feared it aswell.
Meanwhile back in the camp Clarice was explaining that being a sage was a normal thing in her world, that she even could call forth thunder and Light and even heal..if she only had the right tools.
"Someone's coming!" Vivance came running in pointing at where he felt that sinister feeling. "And it is very strong...very strong!" Clarice saw the fear in Vivance's eyes, something she would not expect with a man who was already dead inside...and then she felt it too...
----------------------------------------
The lively swamps of Mekte where now deadsilent. Not a critter dared to make a noise it was if sound itself...had died. Then footsteps...alot of footsteps. An army, not very big but an army it definitly was. A man was riding in front of them, on his horse. Holding a spear in his hands he proceeded forward. Last time, Koruam was dead before he even could fight him...now it was different. "Let's see what the immortal really can do" He whispered to himself and smiled...a dangerous smile...

Koruam was impressed by the abilities of both Vivance and Clarice, but Clarice in particular. The fortress was not even close to finished when Vivance shouted the warning. Only one building was nearly finished and roofless. "Everyone in position!" Koruam shouted to all his men. The entire army stood in line. Povva, one of Koruam's Ofuro walked to the great conqueror and wispered. "Sir. Where was my position again?" Koruam got pissed off about him. "Alright that does it! Savegh! Jinn! Kill Povva, I'm sick of this game." Povva looked terrified and tried to run away. He tripped and Jinn and Savegh drew their daggers and stabbed him multiple times. Povva screamed in pain untill his last breath. The two Ofuro stood back in place. "He was just a joke... but in the end... no one laughed... ow well, Clarice! Wil you take the place of Povva as our new Ofuro? We can use someone like you."
Ryudo and Soraya still rode in the forsaken swamps of what at least Ryudo thought was Mekte. "Well... nothing special around here... let's return to camp." He turned his horse and slowly rode towards the soon to be fortress.

"The book?" Soraya smiled, "Yes I have one." She nodded towards the backpack she was carrying. "But don't you feel that?" Soraya asked when feeling, "Could it be him?! Ryudo, hurry back to the camp!" It couldn't be him, the only one Soraya had feared to meet in this world.

Clarice nodded, her kind smile was gone about what she just witnessed. "I will join you, I will become your Ofero or something....but I have to tell you that killing your own men is not to best way to gain their respect and trust. You are heavily outnumbered and if you want your soldiers to stay and fight, you better treat them nicely."
She brought back her smile again towards Koruam. "hmmm you go give the orders and let me see what I can do to to lighten up their mood here. You can trust me, I am good at such things."
Vivance didn't mind it. Leader had killed all who failed him, and so did Koruam. He was a man who just couldn't affort mistakes, to bring peace.

Ryudo smiled. "Good... then Koruam will be surprised again." "I don't feel anything? I just feel like turning back..."
Koruam laughed. "Be nice to them? NICE?! Nice is not the way I conquered this world. Povva was only a joke to make the men laugh, now this joke has been lingering on for too long... the men need to be serious again. Trust me, I won't kill my Ofuro unless they have commited a grave mistake. Your orders will be, attack when you need to attack and heal when you need to heal. Stay in place for now, you command a thousand men, the group over there." He walked over to her place and yelled. "Listen up! From this day on Clarice will be your new Ofuro, treat her with respect and obey her like you would obey me!" The regiment yelled "Yes sir!" all simultaniously. Koruam smiled. "Good!" he turned back to Clarice. "I will give the orders loud and clear, don't act unless I tell otherwise. Don't worry about being outnumbered, I am immortal and shall this enemy till the end of time if necessary."

"I guess he will be", Soraya agreed and looked around her, trying to find this person, if it really was him, who had a familiar and evil aura. Her tattoo reacted once again when they approached the camp, and Soraya was more than happy to see that they were preparing for a battle. Against this unknown enemy.
