Once everyone had passed towards the house, the man retrieved a staff leaning against a tree. It was Swain. His raven flew down onto his shoulder and the two strode to the house. Behind the tree line, Swain waved his staff and shut the door behind Anastasia.<br/><br/>"Ah, the heroes are always trying to do good. This time, it will bring an end to them," he said to his bird.<br/>~~~~~<br/>Inside the house, a straw figure with a recording device inside of it sat on a chair.<br/><br/>"Help me!" it said, and repeated over and over. There was no maiden in distress. It was all a trap.<br/>~~~~~<br/>When the door shut behind Anastasia, Glade's eyes widened and he shouted out.<br/><br/>"No, it was a trap!" Immediately, he started looking around for the culprit. Within a few seconds he spotted Swain and his bird. Glade charged at them, using his own staff to cast Lightning Ball. Swain just laughed and thrust his staff into the ground. Black, raven-like wings sprouted out of his back and he flapped them once, creating a gust of wind that sent Glade to the ground.<br/><br/>"Let her out of there, now," Glade said and gritted his teeth. He fired off Lightning Ball, but Swain just deflected it back at him. The Lightning Ball struck Glade in the foot, making him unable to stand for a period of time. It was then that Glade realized that it was useless to fight Swain. He was nowhere near strong enough to even scratch him.<br/><br/>"Damn you," Glade spat at Swain, then he started to crawl towards the house. He would have to get Anastasia out of there. First, he attempted to shove the door down. No use, it didn't even budge. The second attempt was Glade using Lightning Ball. Again, nothing happened. The door seemed to be as strong as the barrier in the alleyway. Before Glade could do anything more, the affect of the reflected Lightning Ball caused electricity to course through him a couple of times and stopped him from moving. One last time, Glade punched the door then rolled away from the house. Sadly, he was forced to watch as he could do nothing.<br/><br/>Swain grinned and revealed his crooked, yellow teeth. He noticed Alice and Death and sensed their immense power. It was time to back out. Nodding to his bird, he flicked his cape and disappeared. Probably some sort of teleport.
