Chapter 0-4

Tarik
The two arrive on a boat to the docks of a nearby island. They have successfully fleed the Island he once called home. After finding a place to stay that inexplicably allowed them to stay for free, it is revealed that they are run by a criminal mob. They are invited to breakfast the following morning.

Before they rest for the night, Atalanta warns Tarik that another Sprite, Upsilon, is hunting her down. His mental magic is beyond her ability to protect herself.

May 13th, 334
During breakfast, they are introduced to the mob's boss. Mister S. He is kind and serious while speaking about a way for them to pay him back. But he doesn't finish. He commits suicide at the table, and one after the other the rest of the 10 people at the table do the same. Tarik is horrified.

Mister S slowly sits back up and stands, speaking despite a knife through his heart. He claims to be Upsilon. Upsilon then enters Tarik's body to control him and pushes Atalanta into the wall, laughing down to her and making her scared of Tarik's face. He possesses her next. and in a burst of energy blasts through the roof.

Tarik tries to save Atalanta but fails, losing his hand to Upsilon in the process. Upsilon bursts through the roof of the building in an ethereal form. Tarik rushes outside relentlessly to chase the magic in the direction he saw it move in the sky. Westward toward the Mainland of Kaentos and Chikyu.

His hand is causing him to bleed out and he barely makes it to the docks, trying to get on a boat while the workers urge him to get medical care. He passes out. Failing... he can't save Atalanta passed out...
