The White Knights and the Balanced Ones appear before Alrous' castle located in the bitterly cold north. The group enters the castle and heads towards the throne room located on the first floor. After they opened the door to the throne room, Dante began shouting out Alrous' name. After a few times, the Staff of Alrous glowed. Alrous appears before the group with a smile on his face as usually.
"Ah, Dante, Spero, friends. Pleasure to see you once again." Alrous said.
"We merely have one simple request." Deus replied.
"One simple request? Don't worry, I already know." Alrous walks over to the group. "Do you need
me to teleport you to the Third Age?"
"If you could." Dante replied.
"My, I would be flattered to help the great heroes retrieve the lost artifact." Alrous teleports to the western wall. He plants his left hand upon the wall. "Portar avanti tempo e lo spa(co)zio come ho canto queste parole. Portare la potenza di Dio il Vecchio a questo luogo. Sfidare le leggi e aprire un buco per viaggiare alla Terza Età." A Azure blue portal opens. Alrous walks back over to the group.
"Thank you Alrous." Dante thanked.
"Enter the portal. But, remember. Altering the timeflow may cost you when you get back." The group enters the portal one by one. They appear at a open plain near a small fort with guards surrounding it. The guards see the group appear out of nowhere and point their swords and crossbows at them.
Everyone at the group rises their hands, surrendering to any fight the knights have planned. "Arrest those damn Zamorakians!" A knight shouted. Several knights walk over to the group. They tie their hands up with rope and push them within the fort walls. They are taken to a large room with a young man writing down on a piece of paper with his quill. The young man notices the group and places his quill back into the bottle of ink. The knights give one final push to the group.

"Lord Gudbrand." the knight said. "We found these Zamorakians using some strange spell. They teleported themselves here."
"Men, you may leave. I will pass the final judgment."
The knights did a quick bow. "Very good sir." the knights left the room.
Roy looks at Gudbrand. "You must understand! We're not-"
"Yes, I know you are not." Gudbrand stood up from his chair. "I know what you are after."
"Is that so?" Dante asked.
"Indeed, Prince Dante Bellerophon of Wekadelf."
"I'm happy to see my reputation extends all the way out here."
"You are after The Sword of the Shining Rays, correct?"
"We have our reasons."
"Yeah, I've got to save the fut-" Before Roy could finish his words. Spero quickly hits him with his elbow.
"Why are you after the sword, may I ask?"
"Again, we have our reasons."
Gudbrand sighs. "Very well. I will not continue to question your intentions."
Suddenly, a crash was heard from outside. A knight races into Gudbrand's room. "M-master Gudbrand, Zamorakians have attacked!" Gudbrand races outside. When he arrives outside, he sees just four people in black robes wearing hoods. They moved with quick speed. Gudbrand charges at one of the hooded men who had greater demon wings.
Gudbrand swung his sword at the hooded man. The hooded man blocked the attack with his right Katar. Another hooded man charged at Gudbrand and stabs his right shoulder with his dragon dagger. Gudbrand grit in pain. He jumps back, places his left hand on the dagger's handle, pulls the dagger out of his shoulder, and throws it to the ground. Another hooded man shoots an arrow at Gudbrand. Gudbrand blocks the arrow with his shield. Gudbrand charges at the archer.

However, the archer disappeared and re-appeared behind Gudbrand. Gudbrand looks behind him with widened eyes. The archer pulls out his Dragon two-handed Sword and impales it into Gudbrand's middle back and the blade out all the way through to the other side.
The hooded archer quickly pulls his sword out. Gudbrand quickly falls to the ground. The group had finally entered the battle after freeing themselves and receiving their weapons. They see what has happened and who is attacking. They all stared with widened eyes. The hooded archer grabs his Dark Bow, pulls back a dragon arrow, and was ready to fire at the group.
