Darker Paths

Sento
Guan Yu is in charge of assigning a new team. He is given Minori to accompany Dorian, Taegan, and Ayalie. Their group joins the recently returned Daichi Squadron. They leave to their mission quickly.

Minori's team stays behind to set up a warp, and Roah's team go ahead to find the Sprite they were sent after.

After finding the Sprite, they encounter Alcia and Elenai. Alcia attacks them and fends them off, before Lentis drops in to steal the Sprite. Elenai follows him quickly and they fight. On the otherside of the warp, Drayon is ready to help Lentis.

Rita is sad while Alcia tries to flee, unable to actually attack her. They follow her and eventually catch up to Elenai. When they arrive, Alcia narrowly saves Elenai from being stabbed after losing her Shadow Power to Drayon. Alcia fends off Lentis and approaches Drayon, but in the distance sees Tieken approach. The King of Rival's is happy to take the Sprite in the location, both, actually.

Kaylen appears to stop Tieken in his tracks after he punches Drayon into Alcia. Kaylen helped Elenai form her Katana to absorb the Sprite into it, for a total of 2. Drayon handles Roah, Rita, and Alcia and comes back to pierce Kaylens chest with his fist. He swings him around and gives him to Tieken.

Tieken starts to beat the crap out of Kaylen, while Kaylen uses the last of his power to warp Elenai to safety. Tieken sends his men to take Kaylen away and turns to attack Lentis. He stabs his hand through his ribs and nearly kills him before Drayon warps him and Lentis out to safety.

Finally, Tieken shows his superiority to the Sento and refused to fight them. He claims he is more politically powerful than the Rida, which may just be true. He wanted Alcia but gives up and let's them keep her after telling Roah to let the Rida know they need to stay away from the Sprites.

Time
June 3rd 336. The event in which Kaylen was captured by Tieken and Elenai was set free.
