Soraya was sitting in a tree, since the soldiers of the army had scared her there with all their questions about what happened outside Mekte. She was reading the book about Koruam ((because she still hasn't finished it in this timeline)), and hissed to anyone who tried to disturb her.

"I thank you for accepting this Alli...bond. He bowed for Koruam. "Since the majority of the forces is under your command you will be the commander of our combinend forces, order me and I'll order me men. We have already set up camp closeby as you know. Your men don't need to go trough the effort to do more work, we will serve as an outpost, warn you incase of an attack and aid you when you are in trouble. Well now, in my..world it is a custom for two leaders to share a few drinks when a bond is formed. So I'll see you tonight in your quarters" Ren Zhi grinnend and rode back to his camp, to inform his soldiers about this new arrengement.
Meanwhile Clarice was done bathing and enjoying a nice stroll around the garrison when she saw Soraya reading eagerly in some book. "What are you reading?" She asked looking over at her shoulder.

Koruam nodded. "Sounds fine by me. I like a drink from time to time, it's been a hundred years since I drank alcohol... literely...I'll see you tonight then." And he walked back to his soldiers to check upon their work.

Soraya rolled her eyes and looked at Clarice. "Normally I would answer 'none of your business'", she said, "But since you seem okay, I guess I can show you." She put a black bookmark with a scorpion in the book and then threw it to Clarice. "It's the reason I joined this army. A book about Koruam."

"Owh" Clarice said surprised inspecting the book. "I didn't knew he was a novelist. He looks too grumpy to write. She carefully openend the book, her eyes reading the strange letters and words described on the pages. After a while she gave the book back towards the girl. "Thank you, it is a strange book. Did you got this from Koruam himself just now?" She asked polite.
"1013....1014....1015" Vivance mumbled heavily breathing as he pushed himself up from the ground. Since he came here he had neglected his daily training, firstly he didn't care about it, from experience he knew that he was a strong warrior himself, but after meeting that Infenyte...his eyes had openend. "1016" He felt his arms getting heavy, his bones and flesh felt as if it was concrete but he pushed on..he had to get stronger...he had to be as strong as that Infenyte.

Soraya smirked and took the book. "Of course not", she said, "This was written by a man called Gevvu, and it somehow got into Cresteia through a dimensional gate. I got it from my father a day before I killed me whole family." She talked like her family didn't matter for her. But really... it didn't. "I really wanted to find this Koruam, and I'm so glad I found his army now", she smiled, "I haven't finished the book yet, it's not something you read in a few months. It's not a fairytale... It's something a lot heavier."

"Wait what?! A dimensional gate?" Clarice asked surprised. "Cresteia is your homeworld right? and this book comes from Koruam's world! This is amazing...you know what this means?" Clarice contineud excited, probably not knowing that poor Soraya couldn't put a word through Clarice questions. "This means there is a change we can make our own portal back to our worlds..we can leave this place! I can go home!"

Evening fell and Koruam awaited Ren Zhi in his tent. He wore his finest clothes he had on his hands. A blue pants with a matching blue shirt with the symbol of the army stitched on it, the Blue Scorpion.

"No", Soraya said to Clarice, "You see, my father found the book and the dimensional gate. But it was too old to be used. They do exist, but I'm not sure how to activate them." She put her book away and jumped down. "What is your story by the way?" she asked a little coldly, "How did you came here?"

Clarice looked down on the ground, her face showed signs of sadness. "T..Thats..I." She mumbled and sighed heavily. "My world was the first one to be send here...My lord, Kaito w..is his name, fought back against that demon man's forces and managed to surpress him, even finding the knowledge of sending our world back to where it belongs but..."
She whent silent again, using her sleeve to wipe away the tears on her face, looking up at Soraya, smiling kindly towards her. "I'm sorry Soraya, I just can't tell it yet..It's too difficult for me. I'm sorry"
Meanwhile a single horse carrying a person galloped to Koruam's encampment. The man halted the horse and jumped of, entering Koruams quarters.
It was Ren Zhi, he was dressed in a fine and expensive looking robes. On his back the family's name "Ren" patterend in Chinese signs. he holded a few big bottles in his arms. He bowed to Koruam. "Sorry I am so late Lord Koruam, but I figured that you never have aquired the fine taste of Chinese wine. He grinnend as he ut the bottles on the floor. "It's an honor to be here" He said.

Koruam smirked and took one of the bottles and examinated it. He lifted his eyebrows and smiled. "Time is of no essence when your immortal. It's an honor to have you here." he made a sign with his hand offering the foreigner a seat. "Please, make yourself comfortable."

Soraya blinked her eyes and walked to Clarice. "Lord Kaito?" she repeated, "From your world? I know a Kaito aswell, from Cresteia of course.. Don't worry. You don't have to push yourself into telling me. I'm not the one who comforts those who are sad." She gave a small smile to Clarice and then walked away to get some sleep.

Ren Zhi took the seat and filled his cup with the wine. "Let us drink on our alliance, that it will bear the fruit of victory for us!" He laughed and took a sip.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ "What..you know a Kaito?" Clarice asked but shook her head. "No, he's from this Crestia world..He isn't him" she said to herself.
"Sleep well" Clarice said after Soraya and sat dwon again, looking at the sky.
"Kaito..why did you had to..." She said letting tears fill her eyes.

Ren Zhi in return laughed loudly aswell. "Well, you'll never taste anything better too, my family knows how to make the best wine, but I have to say the wine you gave me is something special as well...Got to know the secrets about this stuff." He grinnend and took another sip
suddenly his cheery faced turned all straight up. "I don't want to spoil our laughter but there are pressing matters we need to talk about. The fact that this demon might return anytime soon. From what I heard is thta his army is superior to that of ours. We managed to win today but we cannot risk even one defeat. One good blow and our forces will be run over as if they where ants. you have any idea's?" Ren Zhi asked.
