May 17, 102 P.A.
Trevor spent a couple days working on his Big Bear Robot. When the big commotion in town seemed to reach Trevor he sought out Hagi. Hagi is in the big building in town and it has a samurai guard out front. When Trevor finally finds Hagi he inquires about what had happened. Hagi tells him that Takeo is suspected of coming to town and slaying Izen, Virgil and two other samurai. Hagi tells Trevor that his friends have come and gone a couple of times over the last few days. He thinks they left for the next ring. The last time they were in town they brought a man that was trapped in a glass box. Trevor asks Hagi if he knows more about the man they brought to town. Hagi points him out and Trevor follows the man into the bar.
Trevor sits at the bar with the man and asks about his friends. The man offers little information, but says that he is indebted to the dolphin man, Kreesh. Trevor finishes his drink and leaves the bar, on his way out he takes out his mirror of true seeing and looks back at the man. Trevor sees his true form, he is a Demon Wolf of Dyval. Trevor leaves the bar and runs to meet with Limini and tells the samurai what he has seen and warns them that Bakura is a demon in disguise. Limini thanks Trevor for his tip and says they will handle it.
Trevor goes to find Hagi again. This time there is no guard out front. He tells Hagi about the Bakura, and how the samurai said they would handle it dismissing his warnings. Hagi says that is peculiar indeed. As they speak the cries of battle erupt. They rush outside to see a full blown battle taking place. Demons and samurai alike seem to be striking down all the army troops that Hagi brought to town. The human troops don't stand a chance being caught off guard.
Hagi turns to Trevor, "This battle is lost. I fear the army will not prevail. We must flee, there's nothing we can do here. Get to safety, I will go for the generator weapon Izen built. I will save the generator and meet with you and your friends later. Go... and good luck."
Trevor talks off running straight for the garage where the Big Bear Robot is. He gets in it and begins fleeing the city.

Trevor travels all day and follows along the magic barrier to the next ring contemplating how he will get across. The Big Bear Robot won't swim so he can't take the underwater passage. As dusk falls Trevor sees a light in the distance through his scanners, its a camp fire. Trevor decides to hide his robot in the nearby woods and proceed to the camp fire on foot. As he approaches he is greeted by a man who calls himself Grey Wolf.
"I am Grey Wolf and we are the Cloud Wolves. That's Blue Wolf, Red Wolf, Yellow Wolf,...(and so on)... We are nomads that travel the great mainland, and seek away home. It seems the magic barrier leading to the coast has fallen recently so we are no longer stuck in this ring. We will be getting far from here very soon."
Trevor ant Grey Wolf talk for awhile. Every time Trevor mentions fighting the demons The Cloud Wolves laugh. they think he is joking and can't fathom someone choosing to fight the demons and seeking them out. Trevor asks if they know of the mage in this ring (he remembered his friends were seeking the mage). The Grey Wolf tells Trevor that they do know and they will show him the way in the morning. Tonight they should eat, drink, and be merry. Grey Wolf hands a bottle to Trevor, he is hesitant to drink but does.
In the morning Trevor awakens to the bright blinding sunlight in his eyes. He was drugged. He looks around, the Cloud Wolves are gone and so is his stuff. He has been robbed. When Trevor inspects his remaining belongings he finds his rations and a map with a dotted line leading to a mountain and an X on it. The map reads "mage here" Trevor shakes his head in disappointment for allowing himself to be drugged and robbed, but grateful that Grey Wolf kept his word and showed him the way on the map. Trevor finds his Big Bear Robot right where he hid it and travels to the base of the mountain.

Trevor travels up the mountain to find Kaleb and the orphanage. Whe he finds them he asks Kaleb about his friends. She tells him what she knows and that they raised Sparticus. Trevor asks if she knows how he can get passed the magic barrier. She offers one possible way. If Trevor were to travel to the top of the mountain and collect a flower that only grows up there she could cast a spell that will send Trevor to his closet friend. Trevor agrees and sets off. Little Johnny follows Trevor and offers to show him the way if he will take him with on the adventure.
Along the way Trevor and Johnny encounter some abdominal snowmen. They have giant boulders of snow hurled at them. Trevor saves Johnny from being knocked off the mountain and defeats the yeti. The two of them finish the climb and collect the flower. Trevor sees three flowers and decides to pluck two of them.
Trevor and Johnny return to the village, upon which Trevor receives a scolding for taking Johnny with him. But thanks for protecting him. Kaleb sends a troop of the boys down to retrieve Trevor's Big Bear Robot and bring it up the mountain. In the mean time Trevor rests and awaits Kaleb's ritual.
Trevor gets in his robot and she begins. The wind swirls around ferociously and there is a bright flash of blue light. Trevor is gone, only Kaleb and the orphans remain.
