[En Route to Foranea, 3rd of Plough-Tide, Year 415, 6:10 AM]

A young orphaned scarlet haired man with shades of icy white was sitting alone in the locomotive's passenger cabin. He was silently looking at the window and recalling those days of how the Chergarians invaded his homeland and witnessing the sudden demise of his family. Those memories of that on-going invasion had haunted him. Benas sadly sighed as he remembered the traumatic memories before looking out through the window.

" You look lost, boy? " an elderly Aldernian-Robanian woman asked him. " Do you have a new family in Foranea to settle? "

Benas turned around and shook his head at the elderly woman before speaking with sign language. " I don't have a family. I'm all alone after they were killed in the invasion of my home."

The elderly woman seemed to be baffled at the boy's response using his hands. She cocked her eyebrows and sighed.

" I'm so sorry dear lad. I can't understand what you are trying to tell me. Whatever it is, I hope Father Areti can give justice for our own people, " she said and assured. " We still need to keep praying to the Heavenly Gods for guidance, wisdom, and courage to keep on going. "

Benas sadly nodded at the elderly woman as she wasn't able to understand him.

Fifty minutes later, the train arrived at Monoceros Keep Station where the doors were automatically opened. A sea of exiled Robanian passengers had left the train. Benas waited for them to step out and had his turn to leave. He brought his luggage and looked around the station, finding himself stuck in the crowd. He was looking for someone who could adopt him, but he clearly remembered the name Montmartre as the new family.

Benas continued to look for any clue on where to go next. He then asked a stranger for directions through sign language. " Excuse me. Do you know where I can find the Montmatre family? "

" Quoi?! Qu'est-ce que tu dis?! Je ne sais pas de quoi tu parles?! (What?! What are you saying?! I don't know what you are talking about?!) " the middle aged Foranean man asked as he couldn't understand the boy.

" Attendez, il pourrait être l'un des Robaniens exilés pour lesquels le sénateur Montmartre a fait un amendement en leur faveur. Laisse-moi lui parler. (Wait, he might be one of the exiled Robanians which Senator Montmartre made an amendment for them. Let me talk to him.) " the second officer replied and knew how to communicate with the boy. " Are you one of the exiled Robanians? What's your name? "

" Yes. I'm Benas Matoni, " He answered the Foranean man in sign language.

" Worry not, garçon. I'll take you to one of my superiors. I'm an immigration officer. My name is Monsieur Michel Augustin, " he replied in sign language.

" Thank you." Benas gratefully said in sign language.

Augustin warmly smiled and replied, " You're welcome. "

[Montmartre Residence, 8:20 AM]

Benas rode within Officer Augustin's car and helped his to bring his belongings. The man pressed the doorbell and waited for someone to open the gate. The officer was talking to a late middle aged Akrovian blonde lady.

" Hello," Benas smiled at the middle aged Akrovian blonde lady as he greeted her in sign language.

She smiled at the boy and signed back at him, " Benas Matonis? Privyet! I mean, Bonjour! I am expecting to see you! I am so glad that you have come all the way from Robania! Was the train ride going here good? "

"The train ride was calming and good. Thanks for asking." Benas said in sign language and smiled.

" Da. It's nice to hear from you, mal'chik. My name is Karola Danilovskaya-Montmartre. Bienvenue! " she responded and hugged him.

Benas hugged Karola and warmly smiled at his adoptive mother. Karola parted her arms and signed, " You might be so curious why your other siblings are not here, Da? Well, they are studying in Odyssea Academy and the other one went to the Army, " She pointed upwards. " Amnon will be home in a couple of months after his graduation and before he enlists himself to the Army. He will also visit Robania soon. I know you would like to meet him very soon. "

" I do. I wish to get to know my siblings more, " Benas answered in sign language. " I didn't know he'll be visiting my old home soon."

" Let's see if he can tell us when. "

[Two Years Later]

Benas was staying inside your room and finishing his assignments before helping his adoptive mother in the kitchen. Suddenly, you peeked from the window in which you saw a married couple coming home from their tour. You were so excited to meet them, however you noticed a sad disposition in their faces. You rushed instantly onto the living room and opened the door for them.

" You're back! " Benas cheerfully said to the couple with sign language.

Amnon managed to smile and seemed to be non-speaking as he was sighing. He aided his badly injured wife who was holding a walking stretcher. Glenda sadly smiled at his youngest brother-in-law.

" I'm sorry, Benas. We lost the war against Chergaria. Glenda and I had the worst honeymoon experience in Robania." the army veteran sadly signed. " I guess being a soldier isn't such a great idea at times like this. "

" I'm sorry I didn't know." Benas said to Amnon in sign language feeling back for him and Glenda.

" You don't need to apologise to us, Benas. We tried our best to save your country, but we spared other people like you. " Glenda answered in sign language.

" It's hard enough that I lost my family. But my old homeland too. I don't know what to say." Benas sadly said in sign language.

" Those Chergarians....they shot me...The doctor just said I will no longer bear a child! " she tried to spell out and make signs, weeping and tightly hugging her husband. Amnon hugged his wife back and heavily sighed.

" I'm so sorry that happened to you." Benas sadly said to Glenda in sign language.

" I guess we should discuss this some other time, Benas..." Amnon reminded him.

Benas sadly nodded, " I understand. "

Amnon and Glenda joined with their youngest brother-in-law as they headed into the living area.

[En Route to Foranea, 22nd of After Witching, Year 427, 7:30 PM]

A scarlet and icy haired bespectacled man in his early twenties was reading a newspaper which he bought from the newsstand before leaving Sangraea. He sadly sighed in learning of what happened to his second homeland and reminded him of the first two months of the Chergarian invasion in Robania. He looked at a deaf female elven passenger and thought of asking her.

" You seemed to be bothered reading that article. Are you alright? " she asked with concern.

Benas shook his head at the deaf elven woman. " My home country of Foranea has been invaded by the Chergarian Army. Just like they did to my old home of Robania."

" Oh, Heavens! They can't stop, can they?! It was time ago, Syrvania won the war against Hetland. Now, these Sovereigns want retribution by picking another neutral country?! This is getting even more ridiculous! I think this invasion is something else... "

" What do you mean? " Benas curiously asked.

" I've been reading conspiracy theories about Umbral Cultists who can influence the government to start a war or even commit crimes to satisfy themselves. "

"Are those conspiracy theories even true or just simple rumors? It could just be Chergaria wanting to expand their Empire by invading other countries." Benas said with doubt.

" Obviously, they had that concept, but do you even think they have some secrets which they haven't disclosed to the public? "

" I wouldn't be surprised if they're keeping secrets from the public." Benas said to the elven woman.

" I guess the truth always comes out of this chaos. Who knows? Someone mysterious and powerful with his allies and supporters will get through this and start a resistance, " she replied.

"Are you from Foranea as well? " Benas asked.

She nodded and smiled, " I'm also from the Dread Wolves Tribe. "

" Dread Wolves Tribe? " Benas curiously asked.

" Never heard of nomadic people who travelled everywhere in search of a new home? "

Benas shook his head and responded, " I haven't."

" Well, then. You will learn from us once you have come into our village. "

Just then, the train arrived at Monoceros Keep Station. For Benas, this was somewhat nostalgic for him and reminded of the same experience and setting from twelve years ago. He picked up his belongings, but he didn't realise there were grey suited Chergarian officers roaming around the place. Then, there was a checkpoint area. He thought about skipping them, but it seemed to be impossible and unnecessary to do this. Benas heavily sighed at the state of his home and is hoping he can get through the checkpoint area without any trouble.

Reaching the premise, the Chergarian checkpoint officer Metus Von Krieger and his team were assigned to oversee the coming and going of the passengers. Benas stood in a long queue as he could see and hear him harshly asking an old woman and her adult son. The man defended his mother and reasoned at the officer. Von Krieger was not convinced and ordered his men to shoot the mother and son.

Benas widened his eyes in shock as saw the mother and son being shot. He then anxiously looked around before proceeding to the checkpoint area.

" Nimm die Leichen weg und verbrenne sie! Verstanden?! (Take the corpses away and burn them! Understood?!) " Von Krieger ordered.

" Ja wohl. " his subordinates saluted him and obediently followed his orders.

Minutes later, you reached your turn to confront the ruthless checkpoint officer. Benas took deep breaths to meet him. Metus sternly spoke at the newcomer in Franken, " Des papiers s'il vous plaît, messieurs. (Papers please, messieurs.) "

Benas calmly handed Metus his papers before waiting to be approved. The notorius Chergarian Army Lieutenant Colonel intently looked at the documents and IDs. Then, he read and asked, " Benas Matonis. Purpose of your stay here? "

" Visiting family, " Benas answered in sign language.

Metus curiously tilted his head and encountered a non-speaking returnee. Then, he signed back, " Anything else? "

" That is all, sir." Benas calmly said in sign language.

" Approved..." he instantly signed and smiled.

" Thank you." Benas signed and smiled back before taking his papers back and moving through the checkpoint.

Leaving the checkpoint side of the train station, Benas could see propaganda and alliance posters of Foranea-Chergaria. Some were recruitment posters from Tsirhc and Lamprey Itna to the Ordrè de Damocles. The others were compulsory work in Chergaria. Just then, he eyed some people leaving their country to Northern and Southern Chergaria for compulsory work. Their remaining loved ones were crying and hugging for such farewell. Benas sighed with sadness at the innocent people suffering under the Chergarian invaders. Reminding him of the invasion of Robania.

Walking away from the station, he could see men wearing thick coats and grey suits. Some of them were in black suits. Suddenly, he noticed a ginger haired man in his late thirties wearing a hat, a pair of amber tinted goggles, thick brown winter coat, a scarf, and a pair of grey leather gloves. He was riding in a motorcycle which had a cab on its right side. The ginger haired Chergarian man was aware that the newcomer was born mute. He didn't hesitate to communicate with him in Franken sign language.

" Tu dois être Benas? (You must be Benas?) " he asked.

" Oui. Tu es mon frère (You're my brother). Ivo, n'est-ce pas (Ivo, right)? " Benas asked in Franken sign language.

" Oui, Amnon a reçu une lettre annonçant que vous viendrez après la Chandeleur. Il m'a demandé de t'emmener en balade. Lui et Glenda rentreront d'une mission à l'hôpital. (Yes, Amnon has received a letter that you will come after Candlemas. He asked me to take you a ride. He and Glenda will be home from a hospital duty.) " Ivo answered and hinted, trying to lighten up Benas's mood and smiling. " Bien sûr, vous aimeriez rencontrer votre nièce. (Of course, you would like to see your niece.) "

" Beaucoup de choses ont changé depuis que je suis partie étudier à Sangraea! (A lot has changed after I left to study in Sangraea!) " Benas cheerfully said.

" C'est miraculeusement inattendu pour un couple sans enfants comme eux d'avoir une adorable petite fille qui prend soin de ses parents. Oh, eh bien, beaucoup de choses seront discutées une fois de retour à la maison. Alors on ferait mieux de se dépêcher. (It's miraculously unexpected for a childless couple like them to have a lovely little girl who took after her parents. Oh, well, a lot of things will be discussed once we reach home. We'd better hurry then.) " Ivo gestured him to hop into the motorcycle cab.

Benas nodded and smiled before putting his belongings onto the motorcycle and taking a seat.

[Montmartre Residence: 7:50 PM]

Benas and Ivo arrived when Amnon's car followed. They parked in front of the house. The two physician spouses recognised their youngest family member. Ivo and Benas waved at them in greeting. Doctors Montmartre had left the car and instantly approached and hugged the two brothers.

Benas smiled and hugged his brother. " Bonsoir, Amnon. It's great to see you again after all these months."

" Bonsoir, Benas. It's good to see you again. I have just come home after my resignation in Odyssea Academy, " Amnon happily replied. " Here I am again practicing medicine full-time and being a father. So, how's the university? Are you already finishing? "

" It's been great. I'm close to finishing my studies. I miss you all a lot." Benas smiled at Amnon. " How is everyone else doing? "

" Glenda is back on duty along with me, but she will be working around three times a week, " Amnon replied.

" I still have time with Emie. I hope we can alternate in taking care of her, " his wife added.

" Emie? I remember Ivo telling me about her. She is my niece, right? " Benas curiously asked his brother and sister-in-law.

" Her full name is Esmeralda Joanna Sinclair-Montmartre, " Glenda responded.

" We call her Emie by her nickname. Yes, she is your niece. " Amnon added. " You might want to meet her when we enter. "

" I would like to. She'll be happy to meet her other uncle." Benas smiled.

" Ja, I'm sure she is, " Ivo nodded.

The four entered the house and reached the porch as one of them had keys. Amnon pressed the doorbell. Benas patiently waited for the door to open as he held onto his belongings.

Suddenly, Pierre got astonished to see Benas coming as Amnon, Glenda, and Ivo nodded at him.

" Seriously?! I never realised he's back!! " the Foranean army captain exclaimed in shock.

" Ja! At least, he has come home all the way from Sangraea, " the ginger haired Chergarian geomancer-mechanic smiled.

" So, how's Emie, Dyadya Blokk, and Mama? " Amnon asked.

" Ah, Marie, Nirrie and I took turns babysitting my dearest niece, " Pierre answered and slightly chuckled. " And goodness, she's getting heavy! Oh, yeah. Dyadya Blokk and Mama had been talking a lot about what happened today. They're becoming more worried than they expected. "

" Pierre! It's great to see you again as well! " Benas happily said as he greeted his brother in sign language.

" Welcome home, Scout! " Pierre signed back and saluted at his youngest brother. Then, he messed up Benas's hair. Amnon, Glenda, and Ivo shared glances in seeing the two and chuckled.

" It's good to be home indeed." Benas happily said in sign language and smiled. " How are things in the army, Pierre? "

" Everything has messed up before the Chergarians came a few days ago, " Pierre heavily sighed and replied. " I'm afraid the Foranean Army has been under those bastards ever since that 'President' took office. This is really sickening! "

Benas sadly nodded at his brother. " It saddens me greatly that Foranea is suffering under the Chergarians and it's getting worse. I saw a mother and son being shot by soldiers."

" Did you see who's responsible for that shooting? " Amnon asked Benas with concern. " Can you describe that person? "

" He looked like an army officer working at the checkpoint area. I remember him having a cold-hearted and mean look on his face." Benas answered in sign language.

" Metus Von Krieger, " Amnon spelled out the officer's name as everyone understood.

" How did you meet Von Krieger, mon frère? " Ivo asked.

" It was three days ago when I had made excuses to take Gospodin Malinski in hiding at the Dread Wolves Tribe Village. He's an amicable psychopath full of hubris. "

" So, Malinski is still alive? " Glenda asked with concern as Amnon nodded.

" Who is this Von Krieger? " Benas curiously asked.

" A younger brother of my former superior in the Chergarian army. " Ivo sadly signed and exhaled.

" How awful are these two Chergarian officers? " Benas asked with concern.

" The older brother, Werner, had retired after the Robanian incidents. The younger, Metus is more ruthless than his older sibling. "

" So no one is safe in Foranea with him around? Is Von Krieger the one who led the invasion? " Benas asked in sign language.

" The new Monoceros Keep mayor is a Chergarian invader, " Pierre sternly signed.

Benas sighed with sadness and replied, " Nothing is being done to save this country from being another Robania?"

" Perhaps, the Blue Knight and his allies are the only people who can defend this country, " Glenda responded and secretly turned to her husband. " I hope he's listening to us. "

" Blue Knight is still protecting the people of Foranea? There might be hope after all! " Benas happily said.

" Well...no one knows who and where the Blue Knight is right now, " Ivo replied and assured. " But if we find him, we can tell him what's going on. He just needs some time to prepare and gather some allies. "

Benas nodded at Amnon. "A hero like him is quite busy. I understand."

Just then, they saw Marie carrying Little Emie who happily cooed and laughed at her aunt. Benas noticed the baby who had a combined resemblance of both Amnon and Glenda. Just then, Emie turned her attention to the newcomer and curiously looked at him.

Benas smiled at his niece and talked to her in sign language. " Hello, Emie. It's your other uncle."

Emie curiously looked at him and started to reach out for her uncle's hands and fingers. Marie noticed her niece and told her, " You want to talk to Uncle Benas, Emie? "

The baby cooed happily to her affirmation and smiled at Benas.

" You want me to hold her? " Benas asked.

Marie nodded and carried over the infant to her young adopted brother, " There you go, she wants to meet you. "

Emie happily smiled and cooed at her uncle which she seemed to be talking to her. Benas, you reminded of your niece to your lost younger sister back in Robania. He couldn't communicate since he was carrying the little girl in your arms.

Benas smiled at his niece and looked at his siblings and sister-in-law passing Emie to them. " I never thought I would be an uncle. I can tell Emie will be quite talkative when she grows up."

" More she comes after her mother, " Amnon saw his daughter interacting with her uncle and teased his wife by kissing her right soft cheek.

" Me?! Really?! " Glenda giggled and kissed her spouse back.

Benas noticed an elderly blonde woman was being aided by her caretakers, Monika and Ilyana. Then, Nirvana and Shemlock aided Blokk.

" Who's this young man? " the bald elderly Akrovian man asked.

" It's my youngest boy, Benas! " Karola recognised him.

" Mother! It's great to see you again." Benas happily said in sign language.

" Benas, Mama has just recovered from Alzheimers, " Pierre signed him. " I'll try to be her interpreter. "

" Alzheimers? Will she still recognize me? " Benas sadly signed.

" She's recovering, " Ivo replied.

Benas nodded at Ivo. " I understand."

" Benas, is that you? " Karola asked.

Benas signed and smiled. " Oui, mother."

" Ma, it's him, " Pierre translated Benas's response.

Karola hugged her youngest adoptive son and kissed his forehead. Benas hugged his mother and signed. " It's good to see you again. I missed you."

" He missed you and he said it's good to see you again. "

" Spasiba, Pierre, Benas. I can no longer speak in signs, but I can sense so much longing to meet you and everyone here, " Karola smiled.

" I'm just glad to see my whole family again after being away studying in Sangraea. I missed so much. But I'm here now. " Benas happily signed.

Pierre verbally translated to his mother as Karola wept and sincerely smiled, " Thank you for remembering me and our family. "

" You're welcome. I'll never forget the family who was always there for me," Benas signed and smiled.

" We're always here for you, Benas, " Marie signed.

" Thanks," Benas signed.

" You're welcome. "

[The Ruins of Saint-Rosè, Foranea, 21st of After Witching, Year 427, 8:27 PM]

A long dark haired and bearded Robanian man in his early thirties sat on the rubble and watched the chaotic environment which the Umbral cultists had made. He took out his cigarette lighter and sparked it to his nicotine stick. The man inhaled and puffed while looking at the cold and starry evening skies. He evilly smirked and thought of praying to the great noble of destruction. Without his knowledge, there were two tall figures who stood behind him.

Raul wandered around with his cigarette in the area of destruction and rubble he aided in causing. "Another job done."

" So, a breakaway member from the Sons of Robania just saw chaos, ja? " a deep male voice with a strong Chergarian accent echoed.

" That skeleton freund should have survived seven more years to see what has transpired in this country, " his Leanan Sidhe partner added.

" Who goes there? I could hear you." Raul curiously asked as he looked for the people watching him.

" Raul Kruusmägi, a survivor and an exile from the lost country that we once invaded, " a Chergarian werewolf with crimson fur stood behind him as he wore a grey military uniform. Somehow, he looked like one of the high ranking officers. The Leanan Sidhe man who stood beside him was also wearing the same outfit. The werewolf nonchalantly spoke, " Somehow, we want you to be in good use, ja? "

"What do you want with me? Speak now! " Raul demanded.

" It's your call, Schulz. I will just listen, " the Leanan Sidhe turned to him.

Vultraz Klaus Schulz darkly chuckled, walked in front of Raul and spoke, " Can I ask you something, mein freund? What do we have in common, really? "

" We're both warriors and combat." Raul guessed the answer.

" Gut..." Vultraz smiled intently. " What else? "

" Why are you asking me these questions? We haven't met before! " Raul sternly said to Vultraz with suspicion.

Vultraz sternly glared at Raul emitting dark mana from his eyes. Raul sniffed the werewolf was not just an ordinary soldier and Umbral cultist. He got intimidated by looking at him.

" Oh, you poor mortal soul...you didn't know what you're missing...." he darkly chuckled.

"Missed what?" Raul nervously asked as he got intimidated.

" You don't realise that I have the essence of an Umbral god within me, ja oder nein?! I, Vultraz Klaus Goethe Schulz, am the true mortal successor of Xiven, the god of forbidden wisdom and knowledge! Do you seek my guidance?! " the Umbral werewolf angrily yelled.

" Xiven in your body? How is that possible?" Raul asked with astonishment.

" Ah, the great doctor who worshipped Xiven had summoned him to enter inside my body. The predecessor of the great god was nothing, but a dummkopf und nutloz! I am worthy to be in Xiven's wing. I will use his wisdom and knowledge for military and invasion tactics, " Vultraz answered. " I will make sure that I am the right person to inherit everything from him. "

" And what can you offer me besides aid from the Umbral noble of destruction." Raul curiously asked.

" So, you are an advent follower of Charybdis, ja? " Vultraz loudly laughed. " Well, I want you to do a favor for me, mein freund. "

Raul crosses his arms at Vultraz and cocked his eyebrows in doubt, " What kind of favor?"

" The great Führer Xiven had met a man and his lot several months ago after teleporting them from Castle Avtomat in Akrovia. He read their minds and offered them acquiring true knowledge, but all of them refused. This particular man happened to be a mortal physician who left his lot after losing his right arm in Aulia and returned home in Foranea. Now, I want you to distract him and find out his secret. Do many ways to hinder and put him into despair once again. "

" You want me to go undercover and spy on this man? " Raul asked.

" Ja. Of course, I have a suspicion that him and the Blue Knight are the same person, yet he keeps that secret..."

Raul nodded at Vultraz. " Very well. What would be my reward after this? "

" 50,000 Creds or 93,000 Drachmas..." Vultraz grinned. " We will not kill him yet, but rather have this man's secret identity be blown in public and make him humiliated! "

"I'll do this job." Raul said to Vultraz agreeing to the deal.

" I would like to suggest something, mein Herr. Don't forget to include the ones he loved very much..." Hans suggested and evilly smirked. " I do want to have that lovely Elandric Frau Doktor to be mine. "

" You only want this man. Bonus tasks will cost a greater reward than the current one you agree to give me." Raul said as he hid his disgust with Hans's suggestion.

" How about increasing it upto 70,000 Creds or 123,000 Drachmas for the spouses. I don't care about their child at all. What do you think? " Vultraz asked convincingly.

" 200,000 Creds for the Blue Knight and his allies. You're taking me with a difficult job, it's best to give more money. Unless you don't want my assistance." Raul sternly said.

" Well, a deal is a deal, mein freund, " Vultraz smirked.

" Thank you." Raul gratefully said.

" Gut. " the Chergarian werewolf evilly grinned. " You can see their downfall. "

Raul nodded at Vultraz. " I'll arrange a meeting in a few days once it's done."

" Wunderbar..."

[Monoceros Keep General Hospital: 23rd of After Witching, Year 427, 6:30 PM]

Raul saw Doctors Amnon and Glenda Montmartre who finished their hospital duty. They were on their way home and readying themselves to enter the car. He was waiting for the perfect timing to catch their attention.

Raul walked to the doctors to converse with them. " Excuse me. Are you Doctors Montmartre? "

" We are, " Amnon and Glenda spoke in unison.

"I'm here to deal with you on the behalf of some people." Raul sternly revealed.

" Who are you? " Amnon asked suspiciously. " What do you want from us? How did you know our names? "

" I'm Raul Kruusmägi. The same people who gave me this contract knew your names. I think it's best that I warned you about this." He answered.

" Who sent you here? " Glenda asked. " How did you find us? "

" Vultraz Schulz and Hans Malter. They told me the location of the hospital you work at, " Raul said.

" Those Chergarians, are they from the Ordrè de Damocles? " Amnon raised another question. " Don't tell me you're also a cultist like them? "

Glenda looked very apprehensive and tightly held her husband's right hand. Then, she turned to Raul. " Look, if you're going to harm me and my husband, " she said seriously. " You'd better leave..."

" I ain't going to harm you. I don't care much for these Umbral Cults anymore or their schemes." Raul said with honesty.

" How can we trust you? " the Akrovian-Foranean doctor sternly asked.

" If I wanted to harm you. I wouldn't have revealed myself nor warned you of these cultists," Raul sternly answered.

Just then from a nearby building, a sniper targeted the dark haired Robanian man and struck him down on the back, making him bleed. Amnon and Glenda immediately took over Raul and thought of rushing him to the emergency room.

" Should've seen them coming, " Raul weakly said as bleeding from his back.

" We'll get you treated, " Glenda assured.

" Ivan, Sophia, Annika, we have a shotgun wound patient around 30 years old, male. Targeted at the right upper thoracic area near the spinal column. We need to stabilize him. STAT! " Amnon ordered while he and his wife carried and brought Raul into the stretcher.

" Oui, docteur, " Sophia nodded and gestured to her fellow nurses.

Raul moaned in pain as Amnon, Glenda, and the nurses began cleansing and treating his gunshot wound. Amnon held his tweezers and carefully removed the bullet, placing it into the petri-dish.

" Neetud küll! (Damn it!) " Raul yelled in pain as the bullet was removed from his back.

" The bullet has been removed in your upper back, " Glenda assured. " Hold still, Mr. Kruusmägi. "

" Ivan, pick-up a 20 ml syringe and then the green serum bottle inside my bag, " Amnon ordered and looked at the two nurses. Sophia, Annika. Continue cleansing the wound. "

The two female nurses continued cleansing the wound. The Hettic elven nurse Ivan Dimitrov carefully placed the Vitality Serum at 20 ml inside the syringe. Then, he gave it to Glenda as she injected it to Raul's bicep.

Raul was moaning in excruciating pain after the antiseptics and the Vitality Serum had come to penetrate his body. The emergency team sighed in relief. Amnon ordered Ivan to get a bottle of liquid dextrose as the male elven emergency nurse nodded and carefully placed the tube in Raul's arm. Then, he placed the bottle into the IV Pole as the dextrose in water began to drip and flow into the bloodstream.

" He's okay, now, Doctors, " Ivan sighed in relief. " Should we put some bandages and cottons to cover the gunshot wound? "

" No, look at the adverse reaction of the Vitality Serum, " Glenda pointed out. Ivan got surprised as the wound was able to revert back into the normal skin. Then, he looked at Raul.

"I was given a branding upon joining the Ordré de Damocles." Raul answered.

" We will put you under observation, " Glenda reminded. " We got preoccupied with your gunshot wound. It could be even worse if this won't be treated immediately. "

" Unless you require another treatment tonight, " Amnon added. " We can eradicate that Umbral antibody. "

" Tänada ty (Thank you)." Raul gratefully said in a mix of Goroly and Robanian.

" Photis's Blessing and Dragotsenny? " Glenda asked her husband.

" Oui, Da, " Amnon smiled at his wife and fellow physician.

She smiled back and nodded at him when her spouse reminded the three nurses on duty to step back. Ivan, Sophia, and Annika stepped back. Dr. Glenda Montmartre picked up the 40 ml syringe of Photis's Blessing.

" Take a deep breath, Mr. Kruusmägi, " the lady pediatrician reminded and started injecting Raul's bicep.

Raul moaned as the Photis' Blessing was injected into his bicep.

" Time to zap him up a little bit, " she turned to her husband as he nodded.

Glenda also stepped away and watched her husband doing the next procedure. Amnon applied a few drops of Ouranist Holy water into the transparent rebuke gem and then casted Bio-Shock at 12 volts. He uttered a prayer first in Franken and then in Luski. Raul saw the bright bluish-white radiance from the Dragotsenny. Then, Amnon held the gem and said, " It's safe at 12 volts. You may hold the gem. "

Raul nodded at Amnon and held unto the gem carefully and felt a sudden warmth and a static feeling when he touched the Dragotsenny. He felt the darkness coming out of his mind and body was flushing away. Somehow, his entire cells upto his whole being began to energise. The downside of it was he started to vomit. Glenda picked up the vomit bag for the patient to let him release all the Umbral antibody from his body.

" I feel awful...." Raul said before vomiting again. " Is this normal? "

" This is one of the adverse reactions of this procedure, " Amnon explained and reminded. " But let it go out of your system, you're very fortunate that you have a dextrose tube which sustains your electrolytes in your body. "

"Thank you for your assistance." Raul gratefully said. " How long will I stay in the hospital? "

" You will be staying here within 24 hours, " Glenda replied. " However, do you have an immediate family member who can take you home after your discharge? "

"I have a wife. She is probably busy now, " Raul answered.

Amnon exchanged glances with his wife and thought of something. Glenda looked at him with concern.

" Amnon, what is it? " she asked.

" If possible, we need to speak to a social worker or even the police to find his wife, " he answered. " However, the city hall seemed to be infested with the Chergarians. "

" Perhaps, we'll call Inspector Sauveterre on this one? "

" I hope the police station can be our last resort in placing Monsieur Kruusmägi in custody. We don't want anyone to get him shot again. "

" Right, " she nodded and turned to Raul. " My husband and I have thought of calling the police for your custody until your wife will be contacted. If we go to the city hall, we don't have any contacts since Mayor Reinhart has taken over. "

" Is calling the police necessary? I only needed to be patched up, " Raul said with disagreement.

" Look, when you get discharged tomorrow, we don't even know how to get to your wife. That's why you need the police or any social worker to look after you. If you go out of the streets, you have 100% chances to get harshly scrutinised for your identification or even worse you can even get caught and killed by those men in grey suits, " Amnon explained in warning. " That's why we need someone in another authority to get you in custody while they are looking for your wife. I hope you understand what we are telling you. " Then, he sighed and calmly spoke, " From your last name, you're also a Robanian. Your country is no longer on the map. So, we are doing our best to get you protected. "

" Fine. I'll aid you in finding my wife." Raul sternly said and sighed. " Her name is Noémie Fontaine-Kruusmägi."

" Right, we'll let the nurses know as well as the police or any social worker, " Glenda nodded and turned to Amnon, whispering something to her spouse. He was intently listening to his wife and nodding at her.

"Tanäda ty (Thank you)." Raul gratefully said.

" De rien, Pozhaluysta. (You're welcome.) " Amnon replied back at Franken and Luski.
