Jeremy has waited in the woods outside the ring but none of Darca's army came. when the dusk arrived, he decided to quit for the day and try again the next day. This continued for a week and it got Jeremy really worried. He made up his mind to visit his enemies camp and check out on them.
The beast were training in the camp when suddenly; the door blasted opened. All the beast looked at the entrance and saw Jeremy standing there. Some of the beast quietly started to withdrew; slowly back into their tents. And to make the issue worse for them, Darca wasn't at home that time. Jeremy looked at all of them with a smirk and shouted;
"hey guys; I missed you"
He turned and checked the door pieces that was on the floor and said to them again;
"I'm sorry about your door, it's just that I love making dramatic entrance....you guys suddenly decided to stop visiting, it got me worried and heart broken so I decided to visit instead to check out on your guys. I hope everything is okay?"
one of the beast roared and jumped towards Jeremy. Jeremy punched it in the air and he was sent back crashing with other beast. he dusted his hands and said;
"I guess that means no; but we should talk it out, After all that what relationship is all about; communication. But first, we need to do something about your mode of communication, I don't really understand your language clearly".
Another beast dashed towards Jeremy but Jeremy jumped up and punched him in the mouth knocking off his teeth. Other charged against Jeremy and he charged back. Jeremy started attacking the beast by punching them at their upper jaws, lower jaws, at their cheeks even on the nose and not quite long, about total number of thirty beast were all on the floor with either broken nose, broken jaws or lost teeth. Jeremy looked around and said;
"I think that just fixed your communication problems"
He walked pass their battered bodies stepping on those fell across blocking his path. He walked to the armory and all the trolls working on them ran away. He picked their best shield and breastplate and left.
immediately Jeremy left, all the beast that snuck inside rushed out with weapons and was roaring about. Some of the beast were taking the injured one inside. Jeremy made to turn back and all the beast fled; back inside the castle, he chuckled and left for the ring. Meanwhile, Lydia was watching everything from the attic but she herself couldn't do anything because she also fears the Jeremy after their last encounter.

Diana was worried about Jeremy whereabouts, She searched for Jeremy allover the ring Ezra but couldn't find him, she checked the battlefield but no one was there not even the fairies because they were resting. Just as she was about to leave, she heard sparkling noises behind her; she spun abruptly and saw Jeremy walking in with armor from the wastelands.
She recalled Jeremy of her warning about the ring possessing him, Jeremy assured him that he was careful and will always be. She tried to talk Jeremy out of crossing the boundary alone but Jeremy assured him not to worry. He told her that he enjoys scaring the beast. she explained how all the beast trembled at his sight. He explained to her that his presence at the beast's territory won't allow them to concentrate so therefore buys them more time to finish their training.

Darca was shocked when Lydia laid down the events of that day for him. How Jeremy attacked them and took their best weapons. How he single handedly defeated all their finest soldiers. he visited the infirmary where his physicians were tending to his army and vowed to get back at Jeremy at all cost. On Lydia's command, the armies started building walls and a shield all over the place. They set up a watchtower, a hung a warning bell to alert themselves whenever danger is coming. Meanwhile, Jeremy was watching them from his hideout.

The fairies used all the spoils that Jeremy brought to build metal shield and breastplates. they trained on swords and arrow, spear and javelin throwing. The waterfall almost got contaminated by metals.
The beast were under siege they created for themselves, they were under curfew. They no longer hunt as they used to do in the past and this was starting famine in the wastelands. They all lost their trust on Darca which got Darca going through bad time. Darca started enforcing jobs on them; He usually sent them on errands and anyone of them that refuses; meets his end. The beast started fearing for their lives, they were afraid that outside the castle, Jeremy might kill them and also; inside the castle, Darca would still kill them if they didn't adheres to his demands and instructions. Lydia warned Darca that he was tearing his army apart, she told him that treating his soldier in that manner will only cause them to rebel against him. Darca ignored the warning stating that Lydia is a woman who has no war or leadership experience. he stated in his own words that some people only obey instructions when they were broken; he explained that some creatures such as the beast are best ruled with iron fist. The only creatures that were exempted from Darca cruel leadership were the Cerberus and Chimera. Jeremy was gladden when he noticed that Darca's army were in chaos state and especially; that Darca was also tearing it apart by his own actions. He knew that it won't take quite long before Darca's men will start a rebellious movement against him.
