A week after Finn was crowned all they have been doing was studying and training well that's until Finn came over and gave them a mission to go meet up with General Oliver at the barracks.

On their way to the barracks no one spoke a word not even jake , Timothy thought of his element since he couldn't figure out what it was but he had deduced one thing that whatever it was it surely is related to sound. Timothy came to this conclusion after trying to experiment with his element but the only thing he noticed was that his hearing seemed to have gotten better even better than when he meditated and he could hear sound with his whole body even his feet could pick up the vibrations happening under the ground but they were not clear , this happened when he channeled mana into his body since the elements reacts to the breath, if one is attuned to the fire element and he channels mana into his body he will release a fiery aura around his body but in Timothy's case nothing of that sort happened to him besides being able to hear things super clear 

"Well this was unexpected , how is that going to help me in battle" Timothy thought to himself 

Suddenly their carriage stopped and the coachman came to open the door , stepping outside Timothy saw many men dressed in Knight armor marching into the huge building Infront of him . Three knights in silver armour approached stopping right Infront of them 

"We have been expecting you , your lordships. follow us the general is waiting"the knight in the middle spoke 

They followed them inside as he led him them to the meting room , inside the room four people were present all wearing magnificent armours except for one with brown combed hair wearing high quality robes and a relaxed smile on his face this man was , General Sedrigus Oliver .

"Ahhhh esteemed guests welcome to the barracks" the general spoke as he stood up and bowed 

" General it's our greatest honor to meet a great man like you" Komoni spoke as they sat down on the wooden table 

"A man like me doesn't deserve your praises " the general spoke with a smile

"If you may general we are in a bit of a hurry" the geneal's relaxed expression vanished and was replaced by a serious one as he spoke

"My men found an underground cave near the forest border that seperates our kingdom and La'faura , inside the cave they found dead bodies of our missing noble citizens including women and children but that is not all, they even found some of our knights inside but all of their equipment was missing and they were left to rot naked and we have every reason to believe the La'faurians did this and we need to take action after all the war has already begun" komoni nodded 

"General what do you think they could be doing with the armour they stole , they can't infiltrate us since all of our knights are accounted for so what is it that they are doing with our armour?" Komoni asked 

"They are probably going to replicate and mass produce it making their knights use it against us during the war , that way we will be confused and not know who the enemy is .Imagine being stabbed through the heart by someone wearing the same armour as you ." Timothy answered komoni but one of the people in the room looked towards him with wide eyes 

"Mesa?" Timothy looked at the person who spoke but didn't answer , he knew from the voice who it was 

"I know it's you , I would recognize that voice anywhere , why are you here? How did you survive our city's destruction?" Timothy looked at him but didn't say anything 

"Morgan!! That's enough , you will not speak to our esteemed guests like that" General Sedrigus warned 

"Forgive me my lord I thought you sounded like a friend of mine"Morgan bowed at Timothy even though he was certain that the voice he heard just now was the Mesa's voice 

Timothy wanted to roll his eyes but he held himself and didn't say anything else and Sedrigus continued

"But if what you said is true then we are in great danger aren't we ,we need to change our armour then" Jake shook his head

"We can't there's not enough time left for that and the La'faurians know that .what we need is a last minute change that our enemies won't see coming and I already have the perfect idea but we will have to alert the king first " Jake spoke , Morgan on the other side was staring at him with the same amazement he had when he heard Timothy's voice

"These two ...how?"Morgan thought to himself 

"But rest assured General we will investigate the matter , if that is all then we will be on our way " komoni spoke 

"Wait wait , here you go .my men also found that in the cave I believe you have knowledge of what it is" the general spoke as he pushed a round metal object across the table , komoni caught it and inspected it

"Yes , thank you general we will be on our way" and they left the meeting room and went back to their carriage 

Back in the meeting room Sedrigus looked at Morgan with a smile

"Are you sure you know who that boy is?" Morgan shook his head

"Not just him , even the one wearing the red cloak .we come from the same city but I do wonder how those bastards survived and what are they doing with the KING'S BLADES?" Morgan answered 

"Haha boy those two are part of the king's blades , it's a pity we didn't see their faces to confirm whether what you say is true 

anyways go resume your training and dont slack off you three " Sedrigus sighed as he dismissed the three people leaving him alone with a smile on his face

"I wonder if you can still win this one La'faura" .....

.....

"Where to now?" A boy in a blue cloak with tattoos on his head asked as they had all removed their hoodies except for one with a green cloak who was the most quiet out of all of them

"To the border"Komoni answered

Nobody spoke afterwards as the carriage made it's way to the ancient gateway of the capital which Finn had used to bring Timothy and the others into the city the first time around , Finn had taught them how to open the gateway during their private training and study sessions. Finn had been teaching them alot about their world ever since the day he was crowned , a week had passed since then.

It was now midnight and they had just passed by Sondor , their carriage kept moving steadily making their way though the desert passing a through a canyon  as they made their way to the border . All of his teammates were busy meditating except for him and Lus who seemed to be fascinated by the sky as he looked out through the carriage window, Timothy was  thinking about his last visit to the forgotten lands and it has been two months since he last found himself in that fascinating world 

"June , moraine I hope you are all fine " he thought to himself

Three hours passed by with the carriage still moving , they had just left the huge canyon and were now passing through ruins of an ancient city  covered in blankets of dense fog.They would occasionally here howling and roars through out the city making all of them to be on their guard , Timothy channeled the breath in his body as he was trying to pickup sounds , since they were all Konquerors they could feel Timothy channeling the breath  and they looked at him with great interests trying to see what he was doing. After channeling Timothy focused on listening to the sound of the world around him  , he picked up many sounds but most of them were in blue waves  meaning they were sounds made by animals , mainly the dire wolves , and some insects on the ground . When Timothy was about to stop channeling he noticed many feint red wave coming from all around them , the waves were so small that Timothy had a hard time picking them up and when he did he could hear suppresses breathing making him to be on high alert .

"We are surrounded .there are people all around us hiding in the darkness ". The others were surprised for a little bit before  putting on their hoodies and taking out their weapons 

"Shouldn't we warn the coachman ?" Dan asked

"No that will make the people out there to be suspicious, let him continue what his doing " surprisingly Lus spoke

The carriage moved forward in the fog and Timothy would occasionally channel and check if their are still being followed  , and this went on for about an hour before their carriage suddenly stopped , their horses neighed nonstop so Jake went out to look 

"My Lord the horses don't want to move ." The coachman spoke with a worried tone

"It's okay , get inside the carriage " the man nodded and went inside

 

"Shhhh don't make a sound Trevor ,we will take care of this" komoni assured Trevor the coachman 

Jake calmed the horses down and channeled the breath into his body releasing a powerful aura that blew away the fog revealing what was making the horse scared  

"Konquerors huh? Give us what you have and you may be granted a swift death " a man sitting on top of a rock by the side of the path , wearing a straw hat and he had a pretty worn out cape on, with a blade of grass in his mouth 

"And what is that you think we have?" The man tilted his head

"Whatever it is must be very valuable to have Konquerors escorting it" the man looked up revealing a half burnt face 

Jake was startled for a bit before smiling at the man

"So you think just because you are missing half of your face that makes you intimidating? Im going to give you a chance to retreat" Jake spoke making theman laugh

"Boy you're heavily out numbered ,plus I have this suppression artifact no one  in a hundred yards can utilize the breath once it's activated" the man took out wooden block filled with runes and rubbed it's center in a circular motion , the runes on the block lit up and the block flew out of the man's hands and stopped above their carriage and it started enlarging covering a hundred yards and on the sides barriers appeared trapping Timothy and the others inside. Timothy who was channeling immediately lost his connection to the breath  as the suppressing effects of the artifact activated , then suddenly they all heard hundreds of footsteps approaching

"Uhm guys you might want to come out now!"they all heard Jake call out 

"Trevor stay here"Komoni ordered before following the others outside , they were surrounded from all angles 

"Fall in formation "komoni spoke

They followed her instruction and moved in place , Dan moved to the back of the carriage,Lus and Komoni moved to it's flanks while Jake stood Infront of the horses with Timothy's role being more of a supportive one , he was to move around and provide assistance to anyone who needs it

" There's only five of you, how are you going to stop a hundred of us?" The  man laughed before and signaled his men to attack 

Thee men all rushed towards the group and the fighting started , Jake was attacked by five opponents simultaneously but he was dodging all of their attacks with relative ease 

"Go after burnt face I got this "Jake yelled at Timothy 

Some of the men heard what Jake said and tried to stop Timothy's advance but they were all dealt with  so fast they didn't notice it until they started falling

"Oh you want to fight me , bring it on " the man with the burnt face moved so fast that he startled Timothy , instantly appearing Infront of him and he spat out three needles at Timothy , but thanks to Timothy's quick reaction he moved his body in time dodging all of the needles and sent out a palm strike hitting the man's abdomen making him retreat a few steps back  coughing

"Not bad at all , now the real duel can start " the man removed his worn out cloak revealing his nake half body and one half of it was burnt with a fist size hole on his chest and his heart seemed to be entrapped in a red cocoon  , he had red maggots coming out of his chest and then burrowing into his burn skin making him release a eerie aura that reeked of death and rot.

"He is using the foul breath , the kingdom forbade that practice a long time ago" Timothy recalled what Finn and harmonia had been teaching them the past week

"Aren't you suprised ?huh? Why ? Why ?! Are you looking at me with pity? You think you are better than me  because you are a Konqueror huh!?? Well this is true power !!! Power without limitssss!!!" The man roared as his aura increased , his hands turned into claws instantly attacking Timothy with astonishing speed that even with his quick reactions Timothy was having a hard time keeping up 

"Now tell me , Konqueror how are you going to survive this ? You could have just given up your belongings and you would have been granted a quick and painless death now I'm going to make you suffer"  Timothy was in a pinch and looking back he could see his teammates were starting to get overwhelmed  

Timothy thought of summoning void but he decided against it as he didn't want to reveal his trump cards early.The assault continued with Timothy doing nothing but defending himself his mind was racing but then he heard a sigh in his head and a mark appeared on his neck emitting a purple light 

"Foul creature , you dare stand before my bond" Timothy saw a girl wearing a white chemise  appearing out of nowhere 

"You !!why did you take so long ?" Timothy asked  

"I can go back I don't mind" the little girl responded with her back to him, Timothy immediately kept quiet

The man attacking Timothy looked around to see who he was talking to but he saw no one , and he thought the boy had gone mad

" Have you finally lost your mind to fear boy!!!stand still and I'll make this quick" the man stopped and started casting a spell , his burnt skin started discharging a brownish liquid with a very foul smell dripped to the ground  , runes started appearing on his burnt skin and the ground as he raised his hand and An eerie red light gathered on his palm 

"Rot of the underworld , Consume!!!!!" The beam shot towards Timothy at a fast speed 

"Watch out!! "Jake screamed as he was trying to fight of his opponents who seemed to have no end to them

"Roaring chains" the girl in a white chemise raised her hand and chains sprouted from the ground covering Timothy so fast that when the attack reached Timothy was already under a barrier of purple chains . Timothy looked at the floating girl Infront of him with amazement

"Thank you 'CHAINED'" Timothy bowed his head towards the girl

"My name is not CHAINED." She responded shocking Timothy

"I'm sorry but you never really told me your name " the girl turned her head to look at him

"I don't remember you asking, I remember you walking out  of that huge tree without looking back . That wasn't nice" Timothy looked embarrassed

"oh about that, I'm sorry  I was pretty shook"

"You don't say " she responded , Timothy straightened out and looked at her

" My name is Timothy , what's yours?" He asked as he stretched out his head , the girl looked at his extended hand before frowning

"Sebrina."
