The Ownage of Kryliene, Part IX
<br><br>
	Akira approached the gates of Erudin and realized instantly that something was wrong. The place was a mess. Bloodstains were everywhere; the ground, the walls. Corpses littered the ground. Sentinel Flavius lay dead not far from his post. Sentinel Drom was slumped against a wall nearby. Fires burned within the city. Akira noticed that Sentinel Drom was still alive. She moved to him and cast a healing spell on him. His wounds seemed to heal, and he opened his eyes. He was still dying, but Akira had bought him some time.
<br><br>
	"Akira...ugh..."
<br><br>
	"Sentinel Drom, what happened?"
<br><br>
	"Ugh...it's..."
<br><br>
	"What? Who did this?"
<br><br>
	"Kr...Kry....Kryliene....destroyed everything...killed everyone...insane..."
<br><br>
	"Kryliene did this?! Impossible! She's not powerful enough, there's no way she could kill everyone in the city!"
<br><br>
	"She...has...some unknown...power. We couldn't touch her....spells had no effect...She was...invincible."
<br><br>
	"No...."
<br><br>
	"She...didn't seem to be...herself. It's like..like..."
<br><br>
	"Something was controlling her?"
<br><br>
	"Yes...like that. What has..happened to her?" Akira told him the story of the Demon Amulet.
<br><br>
	"So...it has taken control?"
<br><br>
	"Apparently so. This is bad, this is very bad. I must find Fenani and let her know about this. I'm sure she can help."
<br><br>
	"Yes. Save...Kryliene. Hopefully...she will not remember.........remember....ugh....what she...cough...has done...." And with that, Sentinel Drom died. Akira stood with her back to the burning city. The wind blew her hair around her face as she vowed to save Kryliene.
