"Do you want to know who was the person that led to that ambush?" Mike asked in a mocking voice. "Come around and I will show you." and as Mai came around, Mike held out a picture of a young man with redish hair and a small beard. It was Coss, her old boyfriend, the one who had tried to kill her after she left him. "Thats right." Mike said. "He sold you like some sort of cheap animal, and the demon was more then happy to buy you. Then he told them where you were going, where to get you and how to fight you. It was not coincidence that they knew exactly how to capture you. You were sold, and so was your family. No one was there to protect them, no one was there to save them. Your mother and sister are both in the action as we speak and your father was killed while your older brother has been sold to the spice mines. And guess what? Its all because of you! You and that boy. Just think how much better off your own family would be if they did not know you. Ha!"
