While the men talked in that small room, the women outside it browsed the shop together, looking at different equipment and weapons that may come in handy. Amelia walked around with Karla and Maria while they looked at different sized swords for Karla to use. Suddenly Amelia asked Karla,

“Karla, do you know this woman called Trivia?”,

“Hmm? Emerald? Why do you want to know?” Karla asked in curiosity,

“Emerald?”,

“Yeah, Emerald Trivialariz, but everyone calls her Trivia. She’s Red’s to be”,

“Do you know her well?” Amelia asked trying to probe for information,

“No, not really. I know she was around Red alot when I was younger and I know she’s an extremely powerful swordswoman. Apart from that, I’ve never really seen much of her lately" Karla told her “But I really wish to meet her again",

“Why's that?”,

“So I can have Red back”,

“Have Red back? What do you mean?” Amelia asked in confusion,

Karla put down the sword she was inspecting and a sad look came over her face,

“Red loses his memories every passing day. It’s a curse! A vile curse no man should ever experience. His mother put an Atmospheric Curse or whatever it’s called, on him when he was just a baby. Now whenever Red tries to love anyone he loses his memory until he forgets the one he loves. It’s sick!” Karla said with anger “I know that’s not the only thing the curse does but… but being cursed from birth to walk Rive alone for the rest of eternity, unable to love, to feel the warm touch of the one you truly love without the fear of forgetting them at any moment. No mother should have ever laid such a unforgivable fate on their own child”,

“So why do you think Trivia can bring him back?”,

“Because she was engaged to him. Engagement in Savanna works a little different from what Red told me. Apparently when you say your vows to each other, said vows are turned into spells that cannot be broken with Mythical Magic or below. When they said each others vows, Trivia vowed that she would never let Red forget her. So now the curse and the spell are fighting each other but since the curse is of Divine quality, all the vows can do is slow the curse’s effect”,

Amelia stood in awe as she heard what Karla said but another question arose into her mind,

“What did Red vow?”,

“He vowed-",

Suddenly Karla was interrupted by the men joining them back into the shop floor,

“Fiandal, remeber what we spoke about",

“Of course",

As the gents noticed the girls, Fiandal asked,

“Have you found anything you like ladies?”,

Suddenly a loud crash was heard outside. It shook the ground like an earthquake. Armour and weapons on the pedistalls and hanging on the walls were knocked to the ground along with everyone else. Screaming and terror could be heard outside the shop along with a loud screech,

“Is everyone okay?” Red asked looking around at everyone of the floor,

“Damn that hurt! What was that?” Gália asked massaging his head,

Red suddenly got a felling, that this has happened before and got flashbacks of Rios. Suddenly he ran out the shop with his sword in hand. As he emerged from the front door, the sun stroke his eyes blinding him for a second. As his vision came back to him, a white dragon laid at the town center with someone on top of it. For some reason Red felt nostalgia but he ignored it and drew his sword from his scabbard. He took strong steps forward and aimed his sword at the dragon, ready to battle,

“Sorry everyone, don’t mean to scare any of you but I’m looking for someone” the person on top of the dragon said aloud,

Red suddenly stoped. He started shaking with shock, or perhaps surprise,

“I know that voice…” he said to himself,

Red shiethed his sword and walked over to the dragon. As he did so, the rest of the group finally got up and stood at the doorway looking at Red and the dragon,

“Wait… that's Hynvil!” Gália said aloud,

“Hynvil?” Asked Amelia,

“The Dragon. It was a powerful Omega Dragon from the Dragonian Empire, but last I heard he was being the new companion to…”,

Gália stoped speaking realizing who was it that rode the dragon here. Amelia was extremely curious but couldn’t muster the words to ask. Red kept walking closer before the dragon turned and faced him,

“Hynvil?” He asked with a sweet tone,

The dragon opened his mouth as if to fire a breath attack at Red but instead he licked him from head to toe, covering red in saliva,

“Good to see you to buddy" he said trying to clean himself up “But if you’re here, that means…”,

The stranger who rode in on the dragon looked at Red and rushed to his side. It was a woman. A beautiful woman. Long luscious white hair, a figure worth of a Fersian princess and a face worth a thousand words,

“Hello Red" she spoke with a beautiful tone,

Red looked at her for a second not being able to believe his eyes. He believed he was dreaming or perhaps he had died from the impact inside the shop, but no. This was reality. He looked at her and with the most sincere smile and a face of absolute happiness, he replied,

“Hello Trivia",
