Several days after the Count family's disappearance, Wanted posters and fliers were everywhere. Their names and the guild's name were scorned. A prize would be given to the ones who brought them to justice, dead or alive. Despite his fame and achievements, the people in the kingdom blame him for his failure as a leader. As he walked in the city, he could feel their eyes. He could hear their murmurs. He could feel their fear and doubts "Hey, isn't that?" "Yeah, that's the leader of that guild right?" "Why didn't he stop the Count family" "You mean those traitors? Yeah, why didn't he know? Was he protecting them?" However, his mind would be somewhere else entirely. [I wonder, where are they?] He looked at the sky. [Maybe they've hidden?] [but where?] [Are they surviving?] He then sighed. He started walking again. [I should have...] He looked at the monotonous ground. He clenched his fist. He could hear the past talking to him. "Hey, Lucious, let's form a guild" [Barry] "Yeah, and uncle lucious could be our leader" [Timmy] "Huh? but I can't be-" "Cmon, don't be like that uncle" [Diana] "She's right, you should be our leader" [Sarah] Yet the present pulled him back. [I should have noticed] He looked in front, seeing a familiar door. The name of the guild on top of the door. The scratches, the run down wood. He touched the door. He closed his eyes. His heartbeat slowed. "Don't forget to go home...to me okay?", a voice of the present called [I...] He pushed the door, seeing familiar faces left and right. Some smirked, some looked down, some even had anger. "I...", He started speaking. They all stood up. "Don't brother, It's not your fault", the angry one said. "We all should have known", another one said. "Leave them to me, boss", the one who smirked said. "No, I am his right hand, I should be-" The room got louder and louder. Lucious raised his hand and clenched his fist. Everyone went silent. [Know what I have to do] He looked at all of them. They all knew that look. He had decided. "So, what's the plan, Lucious?"
