[The Red Muse]

(Before Xan and Blarg entered the sewers) Malice retuturned to bar empty-handed and ashamed. He slowly walked to his squad leader, hanging his head.
"Where's the escapee Malice?", his squad leader, "The infamous" Cid, asked.
"It got away sir...",Malice replied angrily eyeing his gun.

Cid let out a little 'hmph' and turned to see Malice, "Odd be damned. I've seen it all:The great sharpshooter Silverbullet fails.", he barked, "...But don't worry Malice. Everyone fail sometime. Even you. Such is life.", he said calmly while patting Malice's shoulder. Eventually he turned to the other members of his squad and shouted out names, "Blue, Marcus, J.C , Malice! You go and find the creature! I want it alive! Go!", Cid commanded.

Malice and the others replied by dashing outside.
Malice was determined; He will not rest until he has captured this mysterious creature. Hatred flamed inside his heart as they ran in the night of Scrabania,

"Malice, there are two characters up ahead! What shall we do?", J.C, the youngest slig suddenly asked
"...Let's check 'em out...", Malice hissed under his breath.

They speeded up their pace.
Blarg and Xan noted them before and entered the manhole, when the sligs arrived... there was no one insight.

"They vanished!", Blue screamed, "Black magic!"
Blue quickly pulled out his amulets and began fingering them while muttering something.
J.C just looked scared, as usual and Marcus, well... He didn't care.
But Malice knew they were still around, "There's no such thing... as magic.", he said when he walked past Blue, "They're still here. I know it...", he said yet again, casting his glare down to the ground.

"And I know where they went."
