Ikatim wakes up, after falling unconcious, and looks around to see nothing. He walks further, and realises that he was in the Death Realm. Since he was a shadow, he could not die, but he wonders...How could he have gotten there? Ikatim crawls out and travels along the shadows back to Hydlaa, only to find Farren Kutter...
Farren knew that he had to get Mitaki back, somehow, and challenges Ikatim to a duel. They both got into their battle stances, ready for a duel to the death, and right before the fight started, a crowd gathered around to watch. Ikatim charges for Farren, ready for a kill in one swift move, but Farren jumped to the side and hits Ikatim in the back with the broad side of his sword, and Ikatim gets slammed into the ground with a strong force.
Ikatim slides acrossed the ground, and does a backflip into the air and lands on his feet, then he charges at Farren yet again. As the sword made impact, Ikatim realised that he only cut the side of Farren\'s clothing, and jumps back before getting hit again. They both charged up to eachother, and clashed their blades together, only to have Ikatim use a cheap shot, and kicked Farren in the stomach, and hit him a few feet back.
Then, Ikatim jumps into the air and impacts Farren with his knee, and jumps back for a finishing move...As Ikatim charged his Flame Burst spell, Farren found oppurtunity, and jumped out of the way before the spell hit, and sliced Ikatim in two from the side before he could turn around...Thus, Ikatim disappeared into the shadows, realising that this world has too many great warriors, and continued planning his next move...Taking into account that it wouldn\'t be easy.
As time passed slowly, Ikatim started to feal a pain, far greater then the time in the Tavern when he was about to strike Sangwa. He clenched his stomach, and fell to the ground...Then, when he awoke on the ground, he saw the feet of an Enkidukai running, and Ikatim felt a sharp pain in his back...Then he found out...He had been stabbed...
