Inside the grand home of Jake's father, Jake's mother had refused to eat anything ever since her son departed from home. She was so emotionally down that her husband became frustrated.

Jake buried the dead girl and left to rescue Tracy and the Princess from the hands of the patrol team.

In the home of the ruler, the Night Witch and the one eyed man were busy fortifying the red army from the rest of the red villages in wait of Jake.

In the inner forest, the patrol team was still on their way to the home of their ruler with Tracy and the Princess forcefully bound together on a horse.

The princess boldly said to one of the soldiers as they matched, "you should let us go. The man who will come to rescue us will destroy you first if you don't"

The soldiers laughed but stopped laughing when they saw a figure ran like lightening pass them and stopped in front of them. The patrol team stopped and looked at each other. Jake stood, facing them. Tracy and the Princess looked at each other and played a little smile on their lips.

"Is that a man or a beast?" One of the soldiers asked no one in particular.

"Let the girl go and I won't have to kill you all" Jake advised them.

One of the soldiers got down and walked closer to Jake. Facing him he asked, "what are you?"

"I'm Jake. I'm The Immortal" Jake said. The soldiers looked at one another and the one who had approached Jake tried to strick Jake down with his heavy sword but Jake grabbed his arm with his left hand, pushed his right hand into his stomach and as the rest of the soldiers watched in shock he pulled out his intestines, carried it to the front of the leader of the patrol team and dropped the intestines on the foot of his horse. The leader witnessing such horrible sight knew he needed to back off peacefully.

He spoke. "We don't want to die actually like the girls said earlier. We will let you take them with you"

Jake nodded and said, "release only Tracy. Takethe daughter of your ruler with you. She doesn't belong in Kezeya and I don't love her.

The princess's heart nearly torn to shred on hearing Jake say this. Hot tears ran down her cheeks as she tried to speak. "Jake, you promised me...

"I know what I promised you and one day I will fulfil that promise. But now, there will be war between Kezeya and the red people. You need to go back to your family and fight on their side" Jake broke her heart more with those words.

The soldiers did as Jake said and released Tracy to Jake and forcefully left with the Princess as she struggled to be let free to stay with Jake.

When they left Tracy tried to smile but Jake said to her, "Don't. Love has cost your friend her life. I buried her myself. Keep your feelings to yourself as we return to Kezeya"

"They will not allow you pass the red village to Kezeya. They will be waiting for you" Said Tracy.

"Killing me won't be that easy and the one eyed man's ambition is the throne of Kezeya and my mother's submission to him. I have heard stories of how he loved my mother and how everybody was against him when my mother later had to marry my father. He is bent on achieving his goals. The power I possess is revealing more to me. I hope you understand my position now. I have to return to Kezeya, to save my family and to save Kezeya"

Tracy nodded as she thought she still needed to hear how her last serving mate died.

Inside the home of the Princess's father in the red village, a woman covering her face was riding on her horse, approaching the great red army, raising a flag of Kezeya. The ruler, the witch and the one eyed man watched from afar as she got down from her horse and opened her face.

"Who is that woman?" The ruler asked.

"I know who she is" said the one eyed man as he smiled wickedly.

"She is the mother of the man we all want to kill. The mother of Jake. She has come all the way from Kezeya to find her son and finally we have someone that we can use against Jake" said the Night Witch.
