<[][]3 Previous to when Feonu was chased through the forest by the mysterious person with the eerie laugh, The masked figure schemes in Hydlaa, when he watches Feonu exit through the northeast gate alone. He comes up with an idea of kidnapping Feonu, so he writes a letter addressed to Mandrith so that he can lure him out, and he folds the letter, and entrusts a street urchin to deliver the letter to Mandrith. She does so, handing it to Mandrith who stands in front of the tavern. The urchin finds her way into the streets, and Mandrith unfolds the letter and reads it:
<[][]3 Mandrith,
I have the filthy Feonu in my possession, so come to cutthroat's pass.
I will have the boy there, and do not come with any weapons, any
armor, or your precious claymore. The boy's life depends on whether
or not you bring these things.
Stranger.
<[][]3 Mandrith reads the letter, and does what he is told, making his way towards the pass. Meanwhile, Feonu is sedated by the masked stranger when the stranger finds Feonu innocently looking for carrots in the dark forest by himself. He snatches the boy, and quickly sedates him. Feonu squeals for a second, and then rests himself on the ground unconscious. The masked stranger picks up Feonu's limping and heavy body and hangs the boy over his shoulder, struggling under his weight.
<[][]3 The stranger struggles under Feonu's weight as he carries him out of the forest. He drops the boy as a beam of light hits through the strangers mask, as if the dimness azure light could actually come to a shock to somebody's eyes. He picks up the boy again, as the boy seems to become even heavier to him. Over the hill the masked stranger struggles, constantly dropping the boy's body, then picking it back up. Hill after hill, the stranger finally finds himself at the top of cutthroats pass, looking directly into the azure crystal finding it as dim as it can be, causing darkness. All that emanates light out of the darkness is the eyes of Mandrith, which glare at The stranger carrying Feonu.
<[][]3 The stranger drops Feonu on the ground and laughs at Mandrith as he points a sabre at Feonu's neck, and at this moment, Feonu becomes conscious again. Feonu blurts out desperately to Mandrith "R..r..run." The stranger kicks Feonu on the side, and Feonu falls to the ground, looking up at Mandrith. The stranger tells Mandrith to drop to the ground, on his knees, and Mandrith does so. "Don't hurt the boy." Mandrith exerts. The masked stranger laughs, and looks down at Feonu "Why does this filthy little urchin mean something to you?" asks the stranger. Mandrith looks over at Feonu "He...hes like a brother to me." responds Mandrith.
<[][]3 Feonu looks up at Mandrith, enthralled that somebody actually cares about him,and then a sabre pokes into his neck, piercing it a bit, as Feonu cringes for a second. "And what does Mandrith mean to you little urchin?" asks the stranger. Trusting everything with Mandrith, thinking of everything, he responds with "E...E...Everything." The masked stranger laughs, and slips his sabre a moment away from Feonu's neck for a second, pointing it at Mandrith for a second "This is such a sentimental moment, how about you both die in it." The stranger takes his sabre, and as he slits Feonu's throat with it, Feonu grabs his hand and throws him down the hill with the last living strength he has. Feonu dies.
<[][]3 Mandrith suddently turns around enraged as he finds his friends neck spewing blood, takes his dagger out, and chases the stranger down the hill. They battle it out, as Mandrith knocks the sabre out of the stranger's hand for a moment, then cuts his ring finger off as the stranger tries to grab for this dagger, screaming "Ill kill you filthy trepor!" The stranger tries picking up his sabre, and gets his mask knocked off. Mandrith verifies who it is: Kull."Kull" mutters Mandrith. These are Mandrith's last words, for he is sliced in the stomach with Kull's sabre.
<[][]3 In the Death Realm, mandrith finds Feonu, who is in complete shock, and talks to him. Feonu mentions how he had seen the ghosts of both his parents, and begins to cry. Mandrith comforts him, and gives him a talk, and after cheering him up a bit, driving Feonu to want to live again, Mandrith guides Feonu out of the death realm, and back into the real world. Feonu sits on the streets of Hydlaa, thinking to himself: "Screw carrots."
