The Airship was flying over grasslands when Niko sighed: "You weren't kidding when you said this was going to be a long ride." Xander chuckled and leaned forward, "Well, of course, I wasn't kidding we're; flying from one half of the island to the other." Xander explained with a smirk across his face. "Wait, Za's an island?" Niko asked with a confused expression. Xander was shocked, "What? Yes, it's an island. Wait 'so you're telling me that you traveled here and didn't know it was an island?" Xander asked Niko. "No, I didn't." She responded. "How do you not realize you are crossing an ocean?" Xander asked Niko with an eyebrow raised. "Simple, I was in a barrel the entire time." She Quickly Explained. Xander was confused as to why she was in a barrel, "May I ask why were you in a barrel?" He asked Niko. "Well, I wasn't trying to be 'killed," Niko explained. "So were you being 'hunted?" He asked Niko. She looked at him with an annoyed expression, "What? No, I was running away from my father." She replied. "Oh, right," Xander spoke with an awkward smile. Niko looked over to the grasslands below them, "So, what did my father tell you?" Niko asked Xander. He looked at her confusedly, "The Vision? Don't tell me you forgot about it." She asked him. "Oh, The Vision! No, I didn't forget about it." Xander responded. "Well? What did he tell you?" Niko asked Xander. "Okay, first it wasn't your father it was The Demon that is processing him." He replied. "Well, okay, so what did The Demon tell you?" Niko asked. "He needs The Mirror to open something called The Looking Glass." He explained. "What is The Looking Glass?" Niko asked Xander. "That's the problem I don't know, 'but there is something else he told me that you need to know." He explained to Niko. "Well? What is-" Niko stopped talking and looked up; 'her eyes had nothing but fear in 'them. "Niko 'what is it?" Xander confusedly asked. "Someone is standing behind with a knife." She fearfully explained, her voice shaking while pointing at the figure. In one swift motion, 'the figure took the blade and put it to Xander's throat, "Give me the girl." The figure demanded with a raspy voice. Xander; slowly stood up, 'raising his hands, "Okay, first of all, who even are you?" Xander asked the figure as he turned around. "I am Jais The Dark Assassin 'now give me the girl," Jais answered, 'now, pointing the blade tip at Xander's throat. Xander laughed, "You expect me to call you that? That's a mouthful to say!" Xander laughed with a giant smile across his face. "Just give me the girl!" Jais yelled at Xander 'pushing the tip closer to his 'throat 'which resulted in blood being 'drawn. Then in one quick motion, Xander kicked Jais's right knee 'resulting in him falling to the ground 'Xander quickly picked up Jais's blade and pointed it at him, "This ends here Jais nobody has to get hurt." Xander explained still, pointing the blade at Jais. Jais then looked up at Xander and pulled out a second blade, "It's too bad that my job involves me killing you." Jais replied 'jumping up and over Xander. Xander quickly turned around to face Jais as he landed behind him, "Niko, run!" Xander shouted at Niko. Niko started to run to the other side of the Airship Jais quickly followed Xander, then threw his blade at Jais 'hitting him in the ankle 'causing him to fall over, "Argh! You won't survive the Looking Glass!" Jais yelled 'pulling the blade out of his ankle and throwing it to the side. Xander then watched as he ran over to the edge of the ship, "Wait!" Xander yelled 'running over to Jais. "Who sent you?" Xander asked him. "You already know! Until we meet again!." Jais 'explained as he jumped off the side 'of the Airship, 'pulling out a stone that caused a bright flash of light to appear when it had faded Jais was gone. Xander walked over to the blade sitting on the floor and picked it up 'he noticed it had black blood on it. He sat down at a table with the blade, "Are you okay?" He looked up and saw that it was Niko. "Yeah, I'm fine 'just tired is all." He replied, 'putting the blade in his bag. Niko sat down at the table and looked over to the grasslands. Xander closed his eyes and fell asleep.
"Do not let White open The Looking Glass," Yaratuvchi spoke as Xander jolted awake. He stood up and saw that they were coming up on Taris 'The Capital of Za, "We're here." Xander spoke as the Airship docked at a tower 'that 'was draped in darkness by the nearby Castle. Xander and Niko walked off The Airship and down the tower, then towards The Castle, "Why are 'going to The King again?" Niko asked 'Xander looked down at her, "We need to know as much about this Mirror as we can 'and we need to know if The King knows where it is." Xander explained. "I understand that 'but why The King?" Niko asked Xander. "He's a figure of authority 'if anyone knows anything about this mirror' it's him." He explained, 'looking up at the colossal castle that draped' a part of the city in shadows. As they walked 'Xander noticed that the buildings were getting nicer and nicer looking the 'closer they got to the castle 'the air was cold and stiff 'he could hear hundreds of people talking all at once. He stopped and looked up: 'he was face to face with an open gate about 15 feet high its brick frame was tall but narrow 'and it had a set of double wooden doors that were, held together by metal framing. There was a single staircase that led up to the main door' of the Castle; in front of the door were two guards dressed in shining amour, who were each holding a spear in their hands. Xander and Niko walked up the stairs 'upon seeing Niko, the two guards looked terrified and looked at each other, "Excuse me 'but may I ask where you two are going?" One of the guards asked with a worried face. "To see The King. Is there a problem with that?" Xander replied with a slight hint of confusion. The guards looked even more worried, "What do you want with King Oz'min?" The other guard asked 'gripping his spear tighter. "Relax 'we just need some information about a mirror, and then we'll be gone." Xander explained 'trying to nudge his way past the guards and failing. "I'll need to check and make sure King Oz'min can see you at the moment 'so stay here while I go check." The first guard explained as he opened the door just enough for him to fit through 'he then closed it.
