Roxcrusher's body begins pulling back together. His body, this time, enlarged from more giant stones to hide his core. He suddenly takes notice of the other battle going on down below in disaster.

"Oh no!"

"Wow! That's smart."

Thanks to Tannen's cunning plan, Alistor's team tricked both monsters. Blanken tumbled over Cone Face, and both monsters tried regaining balance. Unfortunately, Roxcrusher overlooks the battle down below, feeling agitated.

"Is this some kind of joke?" The commander felt insulted. "Of all the monsters, it had to be these useless ones?"

Cone Face and Blanken, along with everyone else, could overhear his ranting. Though they were not through yet, they became saddened. Facing away from Alistor and his team with heads down.

"What? What are they doing?" Alistor wondered.

Left confused, he lowers his guard, expecting them to try something. But, instead, Cone Face and Blanken continued walking away.

"Their morale is broken," Tannen said.

Before Alistor and the rest had the chance to attack, both monsters had already left, leaving Roxcrusher alone to deal with the rest of them.

"That wasn't nice to say to your team." Mira pointed.

"Team? What team?"

He attempted a swing, but Mira dodged.

"Garbage!"

He took another swing but missed once again.

"Time to end this. Katty, you stay back. I got this." She insisted.

Having his long blade ready, commander Rox prepared to go all out by firing every stone he got. Mira disappears in a quick glance, the golem losing track of her. His stone body scatters apart. Rox attempts to pull himself back but is immediately stricken. His core shatters in a bleak second by her arrow.

"Crud!!!"

The battle was over in a split. All the stones fall to place, leaving the commander to explode. Claws then rush over to Ralph's side.

"So, how is he?"

"Just a few broken bones on the ribs here and there," Mira assured him.

"Sorry about that. I couldn't help myself." He tried hard to speak.

"Don't worry. You just rest. We'll take care of the rest from here." Claws said.

As Mira carries Ralph back with the resistance, Alistor and his party enter the Silver Maiden's temple.

Zolhalla and Steffbird soon catch up to the party at the entrance.

"So where's the monster! Let me smite them!"

"You overslept. It's already over." Katty muttered.

He stumbled for a brief second.

"So you find anything good at the market?" Maigashi wondered.

"Aye! They had some shabby deals going on in the black corner. So I stocked on some goods. We'll have a barrel of fun!" Steffbird assured.

And so they entered inside. The place was pitched with faint glimmering lights from the torches.

"Been a while since I last stepped in this place." Claws mentioned.

"How long ago?" Alistor asked.

"Let me think." He rolled his eye, looking back. "Long before I became a knight, as far I know."

They move through vast rooms and passages, deciding not to separate before growing bored.

Back at the capital…

"Seems Rox had failed. Even with our monsters, he failed to utilize them properly." Taishae nodded.

"Well, I never liked the guy anyway," Moon said. "Let Alistor and his pesky crew have their way at the Maiden's temple. It serves no significant importance to us."

A while later. Alistor and the party continued searching through the temple. Room after room, large and small, Maigashi begins to grow tired of the search. They eventually arrived at the main temple's heart. Looking up at the walls, all they find is a stone portrait engraved with the Maiden's picture depicted on it.

"So, is this it?" Maigashi was not impressed.

"Seems like it." Tannen shrugged.

"We've been searching for hours. So this might be a dead-end?" Steffbird questioned Alistor.

"I don't know. Somehow it doesn't feel over yet."

"Are you sure?" Auroa replied. "We've seen only old artifacts and cracked walls so far. Though I see some inscription on the Maiden's portrait, we can check over."

"Let's check it out then."

Getting close, neither of them understands it. Zolhalla took one look at the writing but was clueless.

"What do you think, Claws?" Alistor asked.

Getting his attention, he somehow recognizes that style of writing.

"I can barely make out the words it says." Claws honestly told. "But Mira would probably decipher these better. A few of the words I can figure out is "Lady…Ice….In a desert zone…She reaches."

Alistor takes one look at the Maiden's eyes in the picture. At that moment, the same female voice from his vision echoes in his mind. The others were fixated on the wall looking for a sign of any clue.

"Who's there?"

He spots a faint silver light calling to him while the others don't notice a thing. He is the only one able to see it. Leaving them behind, he chases after them, leading him to another dead end at the temple with more symbols and writings. The light takes the form of a feminine figure reaching its hand to him.

"Who are you? Why do you call me?" He quietly spoke.

She vanishes. Alistor hesitantly takes one step back for the moment, but it suddenly happens. He accidentally steps on a hidden switch on the ground. It activates, teleporting him away to another place in time.

"Hmm, where did Alistor go?" Auroa bothered to ask.

"Meh, who knows? Probably just out daydreaming." Maigashi yawned uncaringly.

Alistor wakes up in another realm. A chamber of ice, cold and frozen, with silver-plated walls. Bearing the cold, Alistor spots something at the heart of the room. Something covered by a thick fog all around.

"Could it be? She's in there?"

Moving closer to it, the fog soon clears. A glass tube lying flat on its side was covered in ice sheets.

"No way out, it seems." Looking back.

He chips away from the ice sheets on the container, revealing a pale-skinned woman. Upon seeing her face, it was at most love at first sight. The glass tube opens up the moment he touches it. Mesmerized by her astounding beauty, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

"The Maiden of the Silver Light…"

Laying in front of his face, the glittering beauty sleeps. Silver-coated dragon-scale armor and hair were as bright as the flakes of snow. The lion waits to be awakened.
