What was worse though was the mention of that dark guild he and Alice had been told about during their last mission. Liestra Eclipsium, that meant trouble, a lot of trouble. But why were they here and why were they revealing themselves?  He didn’t like this. He didn’t like this at all. He was like the others. He wanted to throw himself at this other guy. Who knew what might happen to all these people if they tried to end this game prematurely? The innocent townspeople had to come first. He needed to make sure that no one got hurt needlessly.<br/><br/>There was one other thing he worried about before they started their fight. How were Ralena and Alice?  They’d just gotten finished with quite the fight. They might need some time to recover. If it was eight on eight then they could buy those two some time to get their energy back it would help tip the balance of the fight in their favor. They probably wouldn’t like or at least Ralena wouldn’t like it, but Luca wanted to protect the two of them at least until the two of them got back to full strength. It was probably foolish but it was something that he felt he had to do. It was what he owed the guild.<br/><br/>Luca glanced at the other two as they asked their questions. What did they think the hostages were for? There was only one reason to take hostages. He turned back to Gaius and glared at him as he stood up, clenching a fist.<strong> “I have a question. Why is Liestra Eclipsium here and more importantly, where’s the first of these executioners?”</strong>The best thing to do right now was just play along with whatever game the dark guild had in mind. If what Gaius had said was true than the bystanders would be released as soon as this game was over. Then they could take on Gaius once the people were out of harm’s way.  Luca hated the idea of someone manipulating him. He absolutely hated the idea of having to play to someone else’s tune but even worse was the idea of people getting hurt because of him.
