Night Lurker faced Azeruk. He wondered how he had jumped over the wall. Then he found out, he was a light mage. Then, he thought about how he was a light mage... and how he might be able to... he shook his head and ignored the feeling and faced the man.
"You there. None of us need to fight. However, there is no need to threaten a SYSTEM operative just because he is SYSTEM either."
The shadow lurkers growled. Night Lurker signaled the shadow lurkers to calm down.
"I am Night Lurker, peace keeper of Myrkur and guardian of lake Ljost."
The mask is burnt from the last battle. Night Lurker looks like he is in no condition to fight. However, if he must, he will.

Azeruk's attention was quickly taken away from Sidna as the man in the black outfit, Night Lurker spoke about the man Sidna was confronting. Was there a chance that this man was from SYSTEM too? Why was he charred? Azeruk kept on his guard and continued to charge his magic reserves, just in case.
"SYSTEM is not the good organization you think it is. For all I know, this could be a trap. He could have agents all over this island. We're just trying to find some answers and my friend over there is just being cautious.", Azeruk said to the Night Lurker.

"I understand. But such aggressive maneuvers shouldn't be taken. Plus, I honestly don't think he's SYSTEM any longer. He seemed... hostile towards that other SYSTEM agent earlier, and she was too dedicated not to be SYSTEM."
Meanwhile, back in the Myrkur dungeon...
Reginald was tied up on a chair. A knight was in front of him.
"So... You're the rogue knight I've heard so much about. You caused us much distress."
Reginald spat fire on his face, but the knight was unfazed.
"Oh, come on. I know you're a rogue, but you should at least know that during questioning, a knight with similar attributes are to do the questioning to keep the other in check."
"Psh, Why do ya think I did that?"
The knight stood up. "I wouldn't worry about that anyways. Old Night Lurker is going to give you a little pep talk tomorrow."
Reginald, who should've been exited to hear that he will be seeing a rival soon, just smiled. "That... won't quite do."
Then, all of a sudden, a giant burst of flames cooked the rooms. Reginald was freed and he had escaped. He was extremely happy now.
Oh, silly Night Lurker, yer done for, because... I know who you are. I saw you change, I saw where you were headed... now I'm gonna burn everything you care about before I fry you!
Reginald took off... to the lake.

Azeruk thought about it for a moment. In front of him was somebody that didn't seem hostile. In fact, he looked as if he was too tired to fight. There seemed to be only one SYSTEM agent on the island and based on what the Night Lurker said, he was not hostile either. The SYSTEM agent was a retired one, based on the information that the Night Lurker gave. Should Azeruk trust this stranger? Should he let his guard down? Azeruk corrected his posture to a non-combative one, but still kept charging himself. He needed the magical energy anyways. Azeruk then nodded to theNight Lurker and looked over to Sidna.
"Sidna, this guy says that that guy is retired. I don't think there's going to be an ambush.", Azeruk shouted out to Sidna.

Night Lurker had lowered his guard as well, though for Night Lurker that simply meant that he lost tension in his shoulders.
"... Thank you. Say... can I trust you all?" He said as he melted away the ice, shadow lurkers reaching shore. Night Lurker walked to a cabinet on the island and took out several bowls. He put them all under the barrel and turned the nozzle, apple cider pouring out. He placed the bowls on the floor and the shadow lurkers began drinking out of it.

A little bit after she locked down the spy another man came on the island together with a bunch of creatures. (Surely he too, must be a SYSTEM agent. I lock one down and another one come. He's with those creatures and I can't freeze them all tough.) The person then introduced himself. "I am Night Lurker, peace keeper of Myrkur and guardian of lake Ljost.". This was just another proof of that the person was from SYSTEM for Sidna. Must peace keepers and guardians came from SYSTEM. What would make this person any different.
The person then tried to assure her about her about that the other one was retired. (That must be a joke. They always have excuses. Always). At one point it just snapped for Sidna. "STOP SPITTING OUT YOUR DIRTY LIES ALL OVER US YOU DIRTY SYSTEM AGENT. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. THEY TOOK MY BROTHER. HE WASN'T EVEN 10. I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM AFTER THAT. WHAT MAKES ME WANT TO TRUST YOU SYSTEM PEOPLE NOW. TELL ME, WHAT?" As she growled at the person pockets of void began forming around her eating anything that came into contact with them.. She didn't intend to make them, they just came forth. She couldn't control them, but in this case it didn't matter. She didn't care if they destroyed the lake for all she knew. All the wanted was to be done with these SYSTEM people.

Just as Azeruk approached Sidna, a void almost swallowed him up. Thanks to his magic, Azeruk dashed to the side at the speed of light, dodging the void. Sidna's sudden outburst surprised Azeruk. She usually seemed calm, but now it was a different story. Azeruk thought of their sparring session and of what could happen if she didn't calm down.
"Sidna, I know they took your brother, but you have to trust me on this! You have to calm down!", Azeruk said as he prepared for another attack.

Azeruk tried to calm her down. She didn't really care tough. He was SYSTEM that was what she was focused on right now. After some time tough the orbs of void began to wander around the field eating more than just ground and plants. Her first realization of what was happening was when she saw that one of the orbs swallowed one of the creatures. She didn't like that. Whoever it was it was one thing she couldn't bear. seeing her magic go out of control, into that state where she didn't have any control over it at all. At this moment she tried to stop, the magic was already out of control tough so she couldn't do anything.
Thr next thing she did was to release the SYSTEM spy from her magic. She was afraid that the magic she was using on him would go haywire too. After that she tried to think of what to do. The most obvious choice would just be to remove her own magic for a little. She tried it a few times, however it didn't work as her magic wasn't raw enough to remove her raw magic. Then she remembered that she had prepared for this kind of stuff. She drew a magic circle alowwing her to use a tiny bit rawer magic and activated it to remove her own magic.
The damage was already done however as one of the orbs had eaten itself halfway up the man's arm before they disappeared. This made her remember something. It was when she first learned about her destructive magic. She was sparring with a friend and removed his arm to be able to land a hit on him. He died short after because she couldn't attach his arm again. Now she saw the same thing happening before her again. This time it didn't matter that it was a SYSTEM agent. She had removed his hand that was all that mattered. All she could do now was to cry.
(He'll get his arm back again soon)

Night Lurker looked on. He felt the strong desire to lecture her, but right now... She was torturing herself more than ever.
The shadow lurkers were mourning those who had been consumed by the void. Perhaps, for the first time in his life...he was angry. Angry that he couldn't stop any of this. Stop the deaths of the shadow lurkers. Stop the loss of the mans arm... Stop the death of Cunnings.
"Void mage... What was that? You're a void mage.. Unable to control her magic..." Now...he burst. "How weak can you be?! You have been blessed with the rare ability top control voids, yet you cannot control it?! Are you not capable of using such magic?!?!? Void magic Is dangerous magic... BUT FAMILIARIZE WITH IT BY USING IT CONSTRUCTIVELY BEFORE SAYING TO USE IT DESTRUCTIVELY!!!"

Sidna just continued to cry over what had just happened. She paid no attention to what the man said at all. At the same time a women, Galdura, stepped out from the shadows. She was dressed like a normal adventurer, but had fine gear that would be hard to just stumble across. "It's completely normal. Void magic is fundamentally different from other magic. All magic is fueled by memories. The content of the memories is what chooses what type of magic we have. There is also another factor inside the memories that few know of. It's called rawness. It measures how much raw magic there is in the magic a person uses. While normal magic usually have a concentration of maybe 1-5%. Void magic on the other hand is different as it have a concentration of around 55-70% raw magic. It's the raw part of the magic that you have to keep under control, that can fluctuate based on your feeling. Because that's what makes raw magic different. Feelings within memories. Do you know how many void mages have died from their own magic? about one third of the total amount. Maybe you would like to try it yourself"
She held one hand towards the mans head. At that moment he would feel like his was warping around in all kind of ways. At the same time a small layer of frost began to form around him from his anger. After waiting for a few seconds she changed it to the way it was before. She then bowed down to the mans arm. A brief moment she radiated a green glow. She then touched where the mans arm was supposed to be. It immediately grew out again. "Try to be more careful next time okay."
