We questioned that schoolgirl’s Triad boyfriend and were able to get from him the address of the main Triad base, along with a rough layout of the place and the knowledge that Yifeng’s mother went to this base on a regular basis. Yifeng insisted that we let her deal with her mother once we got to base. She hoped that she could have a diplomatic conversation with her mother and persuade her mother to leave the Triad. She reassured us that if her mother threatened our lives in any way she would not hesitate to help us fight her mother. She must have felt conflicted, wanting to bring down the Triad but at the same time hoping to avoid harm to her mother.
Master Ilyana and GI decided to join us on this mission, i was suprised Zyanya and Mogg did not accompany us when we left for the base. We managed to sneak into the base without sounding an alarm and even evaded the guards. I made sure Gallant was quiet as we snuck around the base, it is comforting to know I can always rely on my trusty warhound to listen to me. We approached the entrance to the main meeting room and then Yifeng pushed open the doors.
Yifeng bumped into her mother as soon as we entered the room and then got into a heated discussion with her. They were speaking in what i assumed was the Mokuna’s native language, so i was unable to follow the conversation and was on edge while they spoke. I especially got worried when Yifeng’s mother mentioned the Yakuza and kept pointing to Ko Rava, the last thing we needed was for her to attack Ko Rava. All of a sudden Yifeng slapped her mother across the face. Her mother glared at her and then she slapped her palm against Yifeng’s chest which sent Yifeng flying across the room. I nocked an arrow in my bow and was prepared to shoot Yifeng’s mother if she decided to hurt us. She started to move towards Ko Rava but got then got distracted when a male Mokuna entered the room and grabbed Yifeng.
Ko Rava used this distraction to her advantage and shot magical bolts at the male Mokuna. He did not seemed fazed by this attack, and even though Syrus shot an arrow into his arm he still managed to catch Syrus’s second arrow mid air. Yifeng was able to get out of his grip by using her magic to shock him. I shot an arrow into his shoulder and motioned to Gallant to bite his arm. For a second It looked like Gallant had successfully restrained him but then he tapped Gallant with his other hand and Gallant fell to the floor twitching. Before i had a chance to retaliate he sent out a wave of force which knocked us to the ground.
He then attempted to stomp on Ko Rava’s head, thank goodness she was able to conjure a magical shield in time to avoid the attack. Yifeng managed to get up and then punched him in the gut. He was about to attack her back but then her mother kicked him multiple times. This guy was so strong because our attacks so far, including the one from Yifeng's mum, appeared to have barely wounded him. Even Ko Rava's poisioned orb did not have much of an effect on him.
The situation then took a turn for the worst when Master Ilyana tried to stop him attacking Arthom. This Mokuna bastard snapped her arm and then he beat her to death. I did not want to believe she was dead but the harsh reality of her mutilated face forced me to accept this horrible fact. Arthom flew into a rage upon seeing his mentor being killed. His tattoos glowed a bright green and a rancid smell filled the air. He slapped his hands together and used his magic to rot away half of the flesh on the Mokuna's face. I wanted this Mokuna bastard to suffer for what he did so i shot an arrow into the Mokuna's crotch, and then i used my divine magic to shoot some magical bolts at his crotch again, yet the bastard was still standing. It felt like no matter what we did the bastard would not stay down. Just when i thought it could not get any worse he kicked and punched Arthom so hard that i could not tell if Arthom was dead or alive. Then he attacked Ko Rava and probably would have killed her if it was not for GI stopping him. Unfortuantly the bastard managed to punch GI in the chest really hard and he must have used some form of magic because GI fell down and was dead.
Intense anger and grief were flowing through me as i looked around and saw what had happened to my friends. I got the horrible feeling that this was a fight we could not win. Suddenly a bunch of Triad members ran into the room and surrounded us. They restrained us and then held a knife againt our throats. As i felt the blade digging into my throat i was paralyzed with fear, and knew without a doubt there was no way we were getting out of this mess. I had hoped I would have more time to see the world of Mayhos before i died. Images of my family, my tribe and my home flashed through my mind and i was sad that i would not get the chance to say goodbye to them.
The blade started to move across my throat but then stopped abruptly and a purple portal appeared in front of us. I was beyond shocked when Nakah's head popped through the portal and thought that maybe i was hallucinating. Never in a million years would i have guessed that Nakah would be the one to appear in my last moments of life. He blurted out something, waved his hands and then pink runes appeared all over my body. Bright pink light filled my vision and then i blinked only to find that i was in the Crystalline Fortress. I was alive and back at the place where it had all began.
