The Ownage of Kryliene, Part XII
<br><br>
	The madman crashed to the sand as the fireball exploded across his skull, killing him. Fenani grabbed two bottles of water from him and placed them in her pack, as well as boosting his small amount of coin. Next to her, a fiery elemental hovered, waiting for her. She continued on towards the Wizard teleportation platform, looking for Cate Archer. She cast Flare up into the air, hoping Cate would see it. As the ball of energy shot skyward, Fenani saw an arrow shoot up and smash into the energy ball, causing it to explode. Fenani walked towards the source of the arrow and found Cate near an encampment of Dervish Cutthroats.
<br><br>
	"Hey, Fen, what's up?" Fenani answered her gravely.
<br><br>
	"It's Kryliene. The Demon has taken her." Cate nearly dropped her bow.
<br><br>
	"Oh no..."
<br><br>
	"Yeah, it's bad. Erudin has been destroyed." This time Cate did drop her bow.
<br><br>
	"WHAT??" 
<br><br>
	"Yeah. We've discovered how to make the Demon Slayer Bow, but we don't know where the components are found. One of them is a Hunting Bow, perhaps you know where it can be found?" Cate picked up her bow and strapped it to her back.
<br><br>
	"BlackBurrow." Cate seemed to be dealing with something inside, but Fenani knew her past well enough to know that she had been reminded of her mother's death at the hands of the BlackBurrow Gnolls.
<br><br>
	"Okay. Thanks Cate."
<br><br>
	"Fenani...?"
<br><br>
	"Yes?"
<br><br>
	"How are you going to stop The Demon?" Fenani sighed.
<br><br>
	"I don't know, Cate. I'm afraid it's more powerful than even myself, and even Kryliene has grown to be quite powerful on her own. The Demon Slayer will remove the Demon's invulnerability, but I'd have a hell of a time defeating Kryliene herself."
<br><br>
	"But shouldn't the Bow kill the Demon? Why would you have to kill Kryliene?"
<br><br>
	"Good point. Perhaps the bow will do the trick, although it is rumored to only kill it's invincibility and make the Demon vulnerable to attack. As she is now, Demon Kry is invincible. The Demon Slayer will change that."
<br><br>
	"But you don't want to kill Kryliene, do you?"
<br><br>
	"No. But it may be the only way..." And with that, Fenani returned to Freeport.
<br><br>
	Once home, Fenani informed Akira and Lenina what she had learned.
<br><br>
	"So we go to BlackBurrow then?"
<br><br>
	"No, only one of us needs to go. I need you two to poke around here for information on the other ingredients, I will go to BlackBurrow and retrieve the bow. Find out what you can, I will return soon. I'm meeting Trallor in West Commons, he is going to take me to North Karana, from there I will go to BlackBurrow. I will return as soon as I can." Fenani gated away, leaving Akira and Lenina alone.
