Since my Wraith Account has a flight spell that has no time limit and doesn't consume mana, I only followed the group of numerous aerial transport beasts that I heard, were traveling towards a certain Coastal province. Invisible naman ako kaya wala namang nakakakita sa akin. Nagtataka nga lang ako dahil pang-bait lang talaga dapat nila si Steve, pero hindi ko alam kung bakit hindi ito pinakawalan, gayong si Kuya na mismo ang nag-surrender ng sarili niya sa kanila.

Inisip ko na lang na baka ayaw nilang hayaan na manghingi si Steve ng tulong sa iba kapag pinakawalan nila ito. That's why he's still unconscious inside that wooden cage, tied up like a prisoner. Si Kuya naman ay nakapikit lang habang naka-upo lang sa loob ng bakal na kulungan na nakabitin sa apat na lubid. These four ropes were tied to four Owl Gryphons, which were carrying the metal cage.

Talagang ayaw nila pakawalan si Kuya at para na siyang nasa estado ni Steve. Dahil bukod sa nakakulong ito, may nakatakip din sa bibig ni Kuya. The only difference is that my brother is awake, but his eyes were closed while he's sitting in a lotus position, even though his hands were tied behind him. It's like he's meditating, even though that's impossible in this virtual world. Kanina pa siya sa gano'ng posisyon simula nang ikulong siya ng mga kalabang players sa loob no'n.

Kanina nga ay apat na players na galing sa kalabang alyansa ang namatay nang subukan nilang kunin ang mga espada ni Kuya. I remember that feature of his Weapon, Soriumede. Anyone who plans to steal or take this weapon from the Sun Prince will die on the spot. Pinaliwanag ni Kuya na gano'n talaga ang feature ng twin swords niya, pero sinabi niyang hindi talaga siya lalaban. That's why they put him inside a Void Cage, that prevents anyone from chanting spells, once they're inside.

But I very well know that, if my brother wants to, he can actually bust himself out of that metal cage in an instant. Nilagyan pa siya ng takip sa bibig para hindi mag-chant ng spell kahit Void Cell ang kulungan niya. Eh pwede niya pa rin naman itong bugahan ng apoy at sunugin ito ng gano'n kadali. They aren't aware that my brother, aside from being powerful battle mage, is a cunning and decisive tactician. If I remember it right, my brother mentioned randomly before, that he cannot be restrained by just simple anti-magic stuff, since he's a Semi-Divine Fire Axisian; the Sun Prince.

Tuluyan nang nag-gabi dito sa Leimhyark. Up here, it isn't dark since the moon was at its fullest and the stars were also shining brightly. Idagdag pa na may mangilan-ngilan pang mga puting ulap dito sa alapaap kaya medyo maliwanag ang paligid. It's just amazing that even the sky at night, feels so real. Aakalain ng kahit na sino na parang nasa ibang mundo kapag nandito sa Leimhyark.

It took around another forty minutes before we were able to reach a valley filled with several Terraced Dungeons. Kung tama ang pagkaka-alala ko, Takiri Valley ang tawag dito at nasa loob kami ng Kathmeldo Province.  Even from up here, I was able to recognize that those structures and walls on the valley going down from the foot of the mountain, were actually Terraced dungeons.

Hindi ko din alam na ang Terraced Dungeons ay may mga torch lights sa entances tuwing gabi. Numerous Terraced dungeons were there, with their walls still intact and are lighted by the torches outside.

The enemy Guild Parties who were riding their transport beasts began decreasing altitude and I followed them down. Lumapag sila sa isang malaking landing platform sa tapat ng isang pares ng malalaking pinto. Those pair of metal doors were situated on a Terraced Dungeon's Wall. Nakasara pa ito habang nagtitipon-tipon ang mga members ng alyansa ng mga kalabang guild na humuhuli ng mga Guild Masters sa Greida.
