Sara and Rosalind finally reached the dungeon's entrance, a door connecting to the main garrison building, but waiting for them at the exit was a group of around 10 bandits stationed in the main hall.

"Hmm, this will be more complicated, most of them are novices, and one of them is an adept warrior."-Sara whispered to Rosalind in a low voice.

"Is there something I can do to help? I am sorry, but I feel like such a burden."

"Dont worry little doe, your time to shine will come soon, just please stay here and dont let them see you, fighting a large number of enemies while protecting you is too risky."

Rosalind nodded, showing a slightly sad expression.

Sara slowly opened the door and dashed towards the closest bandit, quickly slashing his throat before he could react, shortly after, she threw a dagger at one of the bandits located furthest away, he seemed to be a mage, but before he could even pick up his wand and cast a defensive spell, the dagger pierced his head.

"Aghh, keuk"- One after another, the bandits fell to the ground, none could express proper last words, only gutural sounds.

In just under 20 seconds, half of the bandits were already bleeding out on the floor.

One of the men, the adept warrior swung his sword towards Sara, Sara nimbly dodged backwards doing a backflip and gaining some distance from the assailant, this man wore a somewhat familiar face, it was Hanz, Berg's drinking partner.

"Oh hey, Hanz! long time no see, did you miss me?"- Hanz looked at Sara, his face a combination of anger and confusion.

"How the hell did you get here? where is Berg?"

"Would you believe me if I said Berg grew a concience at the last moment and let me go?"-Sara said with an aloof expression and a sarcastic tone.

"Like hell that fat bastard would ever do something like that."

"Yeah, it's a shame, sorry to say, but Berg is already gone, want me to send you to him?"

"Ha, you really think you can escape this place? you are still outnumbered, there are still many more men surrounding this place."

"Are you sure about that? what makes you think I came here alone? didn't you send your scouts to the woods to chase someone? My partner is out there."

"Hah, so what? the Boss is and advanced warrior, and he has 20 scouts with him, what can one more person do?"-Hanz answered with a grin.

"A person? who said my partner was a person? No, my partner is a real monster, in front of him you all are nothing more than chew toys; I can tell that most of your scouts are already dead."

Sara started laughing creepily, the mana around her started shaking abruplty. For the first time Sara released her aura, her killing intent was palpable, everyone around her was paralyzed by fear.

"You disgusting filthy beasts, the only thing you know is to prey on the weak, not knowing how pathetically weak yourselves are, none of you will be alive to see the sunrise."

Sara picked up a weapon that was lying on the ground, it was a spear, she jumped upward, and twisting her body mid air spun the spear in a circular motion. In a flash, the heads of all the men surrounding her fell to the ground, all except for Hanz who barely managed to partially block the strike.

"You-You crazy bitch, you are an advanced warrior?"- Hanz yelled at Sara, looking up form the floor, his sword shattered in his hands.

"I am getting tired of this, go grab a drink with Berg wherever he is, Good bye Hanz."

"Ughh wai.."-Hanz was stopped mid sentence, by a spear lodged in his throat.

Sara looked at Hanz's corpse and several pools of blood around her, It had only been a couple minutes, but now this room resembled that of a horror novel. Sara then took a look at her hands stained with blood, her clothes the same; it felt filthy, with a sorrowfull expression Sara let out a deep sigh; a small tear rolled down her cheek, and from her beautiful blonde hair, a strand of hair suddenly turned white.

"Uhmm, Miss Sara, are you alright?"- Rosalind peeked her head out from the corridor, seeing that apparently all the bandits had been dealt with, she approached Sara slowly, Sara noticing Rosalind closing near, quickly wiped of her tear from her cheek, and turned towards Rosalind wearing a bright smile.

"Of course I am fine little doe, you dont need to worry, I am very strong."

"Huh? "- Rosalind stared at Sara's face with confusion.

"What's wrong little doe? is there something on my face? Oh I guess some blood must have sprinkled on me."

"No, its not that, I guess I was too scared earlier to notice, but your hair is really pretty, did you dye it?"

"Uh? haha, what are you talking about little doe? I appreciate the flattery, but I am a natural blonde you know?"

"Ah no, I am reffering to your white hair."- Rosalind stretched her hand towards Sara, holding her strand of white hair between her fingers.

When Sara noticed the color of her hair, her face quiclkly changed to shock, then fear, and finally sadness, all in a brief moment, Rosalind could barely notice it.

"Let's go little doe, we need to get out of here before reinforcements arrive."- Sara held Rosalind's hand and pulled her along towards the exit of the building.

It was still night outside, still a few hours away from sunrise, the sky was partially cloudy, and every once in a while the light from the moon would illuminate their surroundings.

Sara and Rosalind reached the entrance of the garrison, right as they were exiting the fortress, a group of men blocked their escape route.

"What the hell is going on here? did everyone else left their posts unguarded? how are the hostages out here?"- It was the boss, exclaiming in an angry tone and holding an axe in his hand.

"Ha, it seems you haven't been as tough on them lately boss, I say we should split the rewards only between us, those guys are so incompetent."- said one of the minions next to him.

"And you little girl, didn't I clearly tell you about the rules? you better be ready to face the consequences."-Rosalind hid herself behind Sara, visibly shaking.

"Don't worry little doe, I won't let anyone hurt you, out here in the open, we are invincible."

"Hah, invincible? how can you say that when you already lost to me once?, you dont even have your wand with you anymore."

"Miss Sara, weren't you a warrior? are you also a mage?"

"Not really, I am not very talented with magic and spells, my mage rank is only adept, but truthfully, I am not a proper warrior either. "

"Then, what are you?"

"I am a beast tamer."
