all the way out here? Judging by your clothes you’re from the capital.” He asked.
The three of them didn’t know exactly what story to go by. “Well you see, being from the capital and all we have never really seen the countryside; so were sightseeing.” Heiro said.
Ryder looked confused, “So why are two very well-known bounty hunters chasing three sight seekers from the capital?” he asked. They were silent they feared that he was onto them or that the judge also sent him to bring them back. “How rude of me, that’s none of my business, my apologies.” He said.
“You sure do ask a lot of questions, didn’t you save us? What’s with the third degree?” Heiro asked, there was anger in his voice.
“I meant no disrespect I feared that the three of you were in some kind of trouble that’s all.” Ryder said sympathetically. The Three of them were grateful to them, so much had happened lately they didn’t know what to do or who to trust.
“We apologize for our rudeness Ryder.” Zander said.
Ryder looked back at him and smiled, “Think nothing of it my friend.” He said. It was odd he had the same smile that Vallus always gave him, Zander hated that smile.
They had finally made it out of the forest and at the top of the mountain path just as Ryder said. “So the city is at the bottom of this mountain?” Heiro asked.
Ryder stopped and was silent, “What is it?” Zander asked.
“Above us, Move!” Ryder shouted. They had jumped out of the way just as Ryder was struck. It was the slaughter brothers they had come back to finish them. As they smoke cleared they could see Ryder had blocked both brothers’ weapons with his one sword. Ryder overpowered them and threw them off balance as he leapt away. “I thought I had taken care of you two earlier.” Ryder said.
“We won’t go down so easily.” Taro said. Ryder held out his sword as it began to glow a bright blue.
“We simply do not have time for this, Soul Cutter!” he shouted. Within the blink of an eye he appeared behind the twins, and sheathed his sword. The brothers fell to the ground; they were no more than hollow shells. Ryder had extracted their souls and absorbed them into his blade.
“What kind of technique was that?” Heiro asked.
“I don’t know but just be glad you weren’t on the receiving end of it.” Zander said.
Ryder walked back over to them and smiled, “Now , shall we move on.” He said. The three of them followed him down the mountainside to the city of Talias. They hadn’t known much about Ryder or why he was in the forest at the right place at the right time, but they certainly welcomed his help.

Ryder had led them down the path of the mountain to the entrance of the city of Talias. “So Ryder, this is where you’re from?” Kerra asked.
“Yes I grew up here; I haven’t set foot in Talias in over fifteen years.” Ryder said.
Talias was a very large and beautiful city, although it wasn’t as grand as the capital city they were from but it had seemed like it would be a decent place to make a living. There were many shops throughout the city, selling anything from weapons and armor, to fresh fruit and trinkets.
“This seems like a very nice place Ryder, why did you ever leave?” Heiro asked.
Ryder stopped and turned to look at him, “I would rather not speak of my past, my apologies.” He said. He seemed rather offended; from the moment they had met him Zander had a strange feeling about Ryder.
“We need to find the inn, I’m feeling a bit tired.” Kerra said.
“It’s over there.” Ryder said pointing to the tall building across the street from them. As they were about to walk insi de, they were approached by a couple of the city’s guards.
“Good evening
