User blog:The Zero of Faram/Guardians' Peril: Chapter 7

She did have fists that hit harder than a freight train. Of course it would hurt afterwards. She had all the reason to punch me. I left them, didn't say anything, and lost the girl back in the mountains. She had reasons and so would others. Daniel would have hurt me for losing the girl and so would the guy with the spear arms. The leader would have hurt me for something. I was being irresponsible and stupid. A shadow in this world? Preposterous. It was of course a dud. Left with a God to kick my ass and kill me in the process along with the girl. Then healing me back and shaking my hand to leave into the mountain, probably to find the people Mia wrecked. I felt stupid. Even using the Cypher just to be reminded of Faram and that game I played before leaving to come here. Stupidity was a trait now and I had to keep it. I laid down on the bed to think more. At least It was better than the wooden floor. Damn things keep happening. I could attempt to cut another rift, apologize to Eve, help Azure, or leave again to be punched harder in the face when I returned. I just wish I could see a full remnant of home, one that wasn't similar to a game I played or a Cypher.

"I wish I could see something from home. I wish I could see another reaper or something." I said before turning on my chest and banging my head against my pillow.

"My Ignis, it's another reaper!"

"Huh?" I questioned and turned on my back. And I saw a girl in cat ears. "C-Cat lady?"

"No. It's just I love to wear these. They're so fluffy!" She said before taking the ears of her head.

"You're entusiastic. And your name is?"

"I can't believe this is happening! I am talking to THE Josh Alpha!" She said ignoring my question.

"I know I was well known back at Sevan and in Faram. I had fans, I would get free stuff for stopping the Unknown on a weekly basis. But I would have never expected to have a fan follow me through the rift." I said. She didn't say she was a reaper but she felt like it. Even then, a reaper who fangirled over me. Least I got was a nice job or something from the other Reapers.

"I can't believe this is happening! This is awesome!"

"Lemme guess, you want a autograph or something?"

"No, this is good enough." She said, her face lighting up like a lamp.

"You know my name so what is yours?" I asked her but she kept fangirling. I swore she would soon foam from her mouth and pass out. I looked to the window and saw it broken. She broke though my window! "Listen here, answer me now, who are you and what do you want?" I said drawing my scythe.

"Alright..... Is this how you treat fans? Let alone Reapers who are fans?"

"I knew you were a reaper. Now don't make a reaper do his job on a reaper."

"I'll do anything! Don't kill me!"

"I'm not going to. I don't need this day to get worse." I said withdrawing my scythe.

"I need to experience you more. Lap maybe?"

"Hell no! Hell no! Get away from me!"

"Why not?"

"Because no! Done make me drive this scythe down your throat."

"Please......"

"No!" I said before pushing her in the chest. She fell onto the bed and bounced right back up but Instead of fangirling, she was calm for some reason.

"My apologies Mr. Josh.... She can get out of hand. Especially with stuff like this."

"No, it's me who would be apologizing. I don't really hurt other reapers from Sevan except during exhibitions."

"Yeah, Mira can go a little to crazy."

"Mira? You mean as in Carol's conscience spirits? This is happening too fast."

"You were with her. Part of JECZ. You were the leader. She was a member along with Zach and Erin." She said to me. I became less tense.

"You know a bunch about me. Mind coming to the library or someplace to talk?"

"I don't know....." She said. Her head shook and it's like she went back to Mira. "But I do. I want to be with Josh...." Her head shook again. "Fine. You lot. Alright, let's go. Before she she takes over." She said looking back at me. This was getting weird. Mira and Rame were Carol's two spirits that she had for a majority of her life before Sevan. She told me she released them before she entered Faram. I had questions, tons of them.

"Follow me." I said calmly attempting to not have Mira come back.

"Alright!" She said. Sounded like Mira was back. Less fangirly but more enthusiastic.

"Also tell Rame to not call me Mister."

"Aye aye!" She said still as Mira. Not what I wanted to happen. I walked out of the room and Mira skipped happily behind me. I looked out into the hallway and saw that the coast was clear. I couldn't let Eve know about this. She would probably unload bullets or something and cave my face in after. Thinking about it made my face hurt a bit more as it was still hurting. I walked forward and Mira skipped behind me. When we stepped into the hall way I heard clicking behind me. I looked back to see her wearing small heels. Women, I don't always understand them. Some punching me into a wall on a limb, others blinding me with lore and science, and others that were just plain stupid. But there were many women that didn't fall in one of these categorizes. Mira fell into the stupid bunch.

"Rame, get back in control. Mira is going to get us killed!" I said to her. Her face looked a bit sad before turning back to calmness. Rame was back, thank Ignis. "Attempt to stay in control. You are wearing heels that click when you skip. Try walking. I mean, why and how did you break into my room in heels?"

"I'm a reaper. I can be agile. We'll also start walking because Mira won't be back for a while. You hurt her feelings when you said that."

"I'm not a sensitive person right now. I'm going through stuff here." I said a bit angrily. She came up right beside me and looked at me. Trying to make me calm down or something but I couldn't. Eve, Azure, Mia, The Cypher, and now these two in this forsaken body. I could think barely straight.

"I don't remember you like this, what's wrong?"

"Stuff dammit. Stuff. You don't look like a psychologist to me so can it."

"I thought you were respectable."

"I am. Just not now."

"Calm down." She said to me. I stopped walking and she stopped too.

"Calm down? Calm down. Calm down. I'm not calm dammit!" I snapped at her. "You don't know crap about what happened in these past few days. Nothing. I said can it. You don't want my scythe through you."

"That hurt you know. Mira would have broke down already."

"I don't care. I admire you Rame. You aren't a complete nutcase. But I can't stand something reminding me of something so precious from home telling me what to do."

"I know you miss Carol but you always have to have time away from something. That makes you love it when you see it again."

"What do you hold dearly? I remember you not caring about anything related with your team. I remember you preferred it without them. You wandered as a drifter who didn't do her job after spending years studying and training for it. You didn't want to be a reaper did you?"

"That's not true. I hold them dearly. I just preferred to be with less crazy people. Or alone. I wandered looking for shadows in alleyways. There have been cases of that. And I did want to be a reaper. Like Carol wanted to."

"What do you know about her?"

"Almost everything actually. I was a part of her."

"You don't act like her. Mira doesn't act like her. You don't share memories with her. Why should you care about her?"

"You aren't making sense, Josh. Caring about her is like caring for ourself, we don't need to share memories, and why should we act like her? We have been released from her meaning we are different people. Different people who were respectful to each other and are different. Don't heat up. Cool down."

"Why should I listen to you? I was Carol's leader! I was the leader of Team JECZ! You were bossed around by an idiot and you stayed with nutcases who couldn't fight better then JECZ could. You were part of the worst representative team of Sevan. The worst in all the four divisions."

"You aren't making one strong point. You're making multiple weak ones." She said to me calmly trying to correct me. She wasn't crying, she wasn't angry, she was calm. While my rage was growing in me. Like the two idiots at the inn. I couldn't let this happen.

"What's going on here?" Eve interrupted. I was about to turn this around but when she showed up, I lost myself. She would yell at me again and make my day worse.

"Um....... Who are you?" Rame asked her.

"Eve why do you always do this to me?!" I snapped. I spread my wings and broke through the wall, escaping the airship.

"Josh!" Rame yelled to me when I flew away. She was just going to make it worse. Eve was the one to make it worse. Azure was the only one to have the luxury of having her shape up and be nice. She treated the Workers like crap and made my life worse. I flew away as quickly as possible.

The inn was in sight and I was still angry. I couldn't escape it. Just knowing she would beat my face in when she saw me. I had to spend time with them. To escape would be impossible but to leave momentarily would be the closest thing to luxury here. I saw two people outside like a yellow and red dot and smaller brown dots in front of them. I flew downward towards them. Igniting like a meteor as I came closer. I put my feet out and landed on the ground causing an explosion where I landed. I looked around to see wood on fire on a stones and two frightened women looking at me. I withdrew my wings and walked to the pile of rocks and wood.

"What is this?" I asked them. They were building it so they would know.

"An altar..... Thank you....." The one in red and blue said shakily to me.

"Thank you? I lit this thing up like a pine branch in a forest fire. There wasn't a way out of it. What if it was something bad?"

"Well, we were going to put more wood but the offering was already on the altar. The wood would've been merely for looks." The one in red and blue said to me.

"We volunteered to do the altar this time. We are waiting for Farlon and Raydn to come back. Besides, I take this stuff seriously. The Gods we hold dearly. We work for them."

"What about Daniel? I thought he left with them to mediate the two." The red and blue one asked the one in yellow.

"Whatever. I'm just trying to get my mind off of these events that happened. The Cypher, Rame and Mira, and so on. Anything I can help with?" I asked politely.

"Nothing as of now. Say, were you at the party a day ago?" The one in yellow asked me.

"No. I left and took Mia with me."

"You were the one who lost her?"

"Damn it. Said too much. It's not too terrible though. The guy that attacked Mia and I shouldn't be coming back. He did heal us after all. In the mountains. Snowy mountains."

"Back in St. Lamia? The big ice mountain that the name escapes me. Are you insane?"

"No, I'm a reaper. I sensed a shadow so I went and she came with. You women can get to me sometimes."

"Daniel was going to get you for something. Help us out please." The one in yellow asked me.

"Really. He went to find me for no reason."

"Ramna, could you stay here?"

"Keep track of anything here? Like you and Alyut always say. And my answer is always yes."

"Follow me Reaper." She said to me. She ran to the left idea of the inn. And stopped in front of a corpse. I saw an orb floating above her. A soul. Her soul.

"Can you bring her back?"

"I do this a lot, sure." I said cracking my knuckles.

"I'm not sure how you do it though."

"Leave it to me." I said to her. I grabbed the soul and made it float above the corpse. I put out my right hand and pushed the soul into her making her slowly open her eye before shooting up.

"I'm alive?"

"Ophelia!" The yellow one said before going and hugging Ophelia.

"Rina, cut it out. We aren't sisters or anything."

"I missed you. And the crops you could boost the growth for better food."

"Priorities. They aren't strong with this one." I said to myself. "What happened to you Ophelia? To die like that without anybody knowing?"

"Guy with wings and big splitting sword with a beam of light and symbols. Stabbed me through the chest and went away."

"I guess he despawned after you died."

"Despond? What does that mean?" Rina asked scratching her head.

"Doesn't matter Rina." Ophelia said blandly.

"I think I have to report that the White Cypher is out there in the hands of a angel or something. Wish I don't have to. "

"Why? Stay a while. You came to escape so we could help you out. Ophelia can go meet the others while you stay on the roof or something."

"I didn't agree to that." Ophelia said.

"Seems sexist to agree to you becoming a slave for me. Women are people too."

"You are very complex person, reaper. We serve each other an equal amount except for Lunaris who cooks for us. It's not too much."

"Then looks like I will now agree. I'll go meet up with the others. I'm not needed here. And whatever you're here for may be found or witnessed. I haven't said that to somebody in six years." Ophelia said before she booked to the back of the inn. Rina looked at me.

"Let's go up?"

"The roof?"

"I said that didn't I? Let's go?"

"How will you get up there?"

"Teleporting. Come on." She said. Her cape flowed and enveloped her. It shrunk until the cape wasn't there anymore. The gold cape appeared on top of the inn and she appeared again to fall and land on the top. She came to the edge and motioned me to come up. I spread my wings and jumped to start flying up to Rina. I flew up past her and released a gust of wind that made Rina's cape fly out. I looped back and landed on the top of the inn's roof. I sat down and put my legs to dangle off the edge. Rina came and did the same.

"You have flair, reaper. I'll give you that."

"It's just formed and grew with me. Fire control and being famous around the division did that to me."

"Ah. So you came to relax right?"

"You've asked me that earlier. The answer is still yes." I laid down on the roof.

"Reaper troubles?"

"More like this world troubles. You should know that we are from another world than this one."

"I do know. You have higher technology weaponry than we do. We only have metals and wood and minerals. You have energy and other stuff. Especially with that scythe disk. We saw you with Mia after Daniel died during the battle against Sodis and Sen and Ren and saw you completely annihilate them. We all saw."

"Reaper troubles. Reaper's Troubles. That's reminding me of a biography thing at when I was at Sevan done by a group of people on Faram." I said trying to reminisce. I sighed and continued. "What do you do when you aren't doing chores or building altars?"

"Books. Mostly books surrounding the Gods and their actions."

"You have an affinity for the Gods don't you?"

"Why wouldn't I have? They've done so much for us like providing and keeping us alive. We wake up because of one and go to sleep because of an other. They're so interesting and fascinating and awesome!"

"You're talking about the beings that wiped everybody out from Grand Gaia."

"So what if they did? Those people were killed because they didn't respect them. Most of the people who died didn't care or hated the gods. They had the reason to do that. The gods should be respected fully."

"Again with you people. You don't get tired of getting up in the morning to pray and light fires on piles of wood and stones? You don't get tired of bringing them into every conversation you have?"

"Nope. It seems like you don't like them."

"I've killed some before."

"Killed?" Rina asked surprisedly before shooting up.

"More like their shadows. Don't have a heart attack."

"You use that term a lot. What does that mean? You don't fight their actual shadows do you?"

"Of course not. Why would I try to cleave something I can't touch? Take negative everything from something and give it something to manifest and you got a shadow. We haven't figured out why shadows are created from just negativity and other darkness. It could be essence or some artifact or some god we have to kill. Shadows are a big treat. They are the reason why the four divisions formed a circle with a wall spanning the outside to protect everybody from shadows."

"Confusing, like your world has it's own lore."

"Of course it would. It's different than this one for sure."

"I'm aware."

"So... Where did you grow up?" I asked her. She laid back down and started taking.

"People don't ask me this much. I was born into an almost high class family. I was close but still middle class. I was born in Lanara while there were still towns and cities. I don't remember the name anymore. I wasn't too good with others and I read books a ton throughout my time before being a Guardian. Ones surrounding the gods were my favorite. Their lore was sparked in my mind tons. I even tried to make my own lore and events on pages of a packet I still keep in my room."

"You basically wrote your own Fanfiction on stuff. People I passed by did that back in Faram."

"You use many terms I don't understand. Fanfiction, Despond..."

"Keep going. We need more."

"I was so obsessed with that packet that I spend most of my free time on it. Then I joined the Guardians of The Gods and still wrote in it. I talked about them a lot and held them in high degree."

"Did you ever take a break and relaxed from that?"

"Sodis told me to relax once but I didn't know what that meant. I ran to the nearest library and researched day and night for two days to figure out what that meant."

"Did you suceed?"

"No but I learned to later on in life. After the split. After the first battles. After the invasion."

"You're welcome people." I whispered to myself.

"What did you say?"

"Nothing." I said trying not to sound too much like the other world. I sat up and started, "I'm surprised you're talking about this stuff with me. I'm a person you barely know. You call me reaper instead of my real name and you're opening up. You do this to the others a lot?"

"Never did. I just didn't want to open up to the idiots Raydn and Farlon. Ophelia talked about her village like I did with the gods and made it hard. Lunaris really lectured me about hygiene and habit like my mother would."

"She feels older and acts older than she is. She's only twenty something. Acting like a mother at thirty two."

"Yeah. Ramna is always telling Farlon to do stuff for her and being her lover and whatnot, he does it without thought. Alyut I can't do if for some reason. I don't feel right with talking with him. He Is a different leader than Sodis. He is less strict but less rewarding. Sodis felt like a better leader. He let the guardians follow each other's will while still following him. I felt better with Sodis but my love for the gods could let me be with the traitors. Even the other half I couldn't open up to anybody. Luly was also lectured by Lunaris along with me. Zephyr I couldn't connect because he acted too cool and smart but didn't disrespect Sodis. I wish Raydn would learn from him. Then Signas and Ophelia would occasionally clash and Signas wouldn't bother to follow other people. She want very social either. And Grybe. He was the exception. He was different. He wasn't a nutcase or anything that would be a deal breaker. He didn't look kind but he was. He tinkered a lot and we do have electricity both in our powers."

"Did you open to him?"

"Still no. It wasn't that didn't want to but rather I couldn't find time to do that and now it's too late. I wander into the traitor camp I get weapons shot and stabbed though me."

"Hard to deal with I guess."

"Agreed."

"Rina, you seem like a person who could help me out."

"You're asking for help now?"

"Figures. I knew this would be too much."

"No no. Ask away. You are a guest to us whenever you're here."

"Today a person broke through my window and ended up in my room on the airship. She was a reaper like me. Same division even. She was all cheerful and obsessive because she was talking to me in person. I was well known back home for feats and acts I did. She became too obsessive and I eventually knocked some sense into her. Then her personality changed and became calm and willing. We were going to go somewhere to discuss but the cheerful side came back and started to make her small heels click so I told her to stop. It only made me more heated as it went on and I eventually attracted Eve to us. I fled to avoid her."

"Sounds tough. What about it though?"

"I need to know if I should apologize to the reaper."

"Of course you should. You snapped and feel bad. You should apologize."

"Agreed. But what about Eve?"

"What has she done?"

"She's the one in the leather coat."

"Oh.... She wasn't so nice."

"When I started Sevan and I stopped the Unknown from escaping with a load of essence, I had a bounty placed on my head by the leader who wanted me to not interfere. She often tried to kill me for the money. She did it tons of times. She even went in when I came out of the shower and tried to shoot at me. It was hard with a towel on and no weapon."

"What has she done to you in this world?"

"When we entered the rift to bring us here which was her fault, and brought Azure here which she spend more time on than doing what she had to, she has been hard on me and her workers."

"Workers?"

"She owns an airship bigger than this inn. Of course she would. And she's always made my life hell. She made me bust through the wall and scratched my shoulder. She is a terrible person."

"You want me to tell you if you should forgive her?"

"No. If I should forget the past and try to avoid her crap."

"You shouldn't be able to do that. And she'll always keep giving you more. You,should do something."

"I know but....." I started before receiving a call on my phone. A call here? I felt my mind toying with me but I pulled out my phone to see that I was being called.... By Eve. I sucked it up and answered.

"What do you want?"

"We need your help!"

"Why?"

"An angel is flying towards us at high speeds!"

"So?"

"Uh... Give me that." I heard Eves voice switch into Rame's. "He has a cypher! We are screwed!"

"I'll be there as soon as possible." I said while hanging up.

"You're leaving?"

"Have to. That angel is back."

"Hope I helped you."

"You did. Thanks for listening, Rina."

"No problem." She said. I spread my wings. "Good luck." She added. I looked back to her before i flew up to loop and fly straight back to the ship.

The wind and pressure felt denser as I approached the airship and the Angel. I sped up and landed on the roof to see Eve, Azure, and Rame with their weapons ready for anything and the cypher on Azure's back. I threw my scythe disk up and caught it when it shifted into the scythe in the air.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"The Angel is holding a cypher. He's coming straight for us." Rame informed me.

"I thought you said it was coming at fast speeds?" I asked Eve.

"I was looking at it on the radar when it came in on the edge of radars' area coverage. I looked at the telescope and saw he had a cypher."

"Could you make out the color of the cypher?"

"Couldn't make it out."

"It's a cypher though. They are dangerous regardless." Azure said.

"About that. I know what...."

"He's coming. Be ready." Eve commanded us. We prepared ourselves while the Angel stopped and landed on the edge of the roof. He was blond and wearing a light blue top and a brown vest and pants. He held the White Cypher in his hand unactivated.

"I thought getting this Cypher should be easy. But hurdles are the best things to overcome." He said. His voice struck fear into us. Eve and Rame were not believing their eyes and Azure looked scared and so was I. The Cyphers were stronger than the highest class shadow. The old heroes from the wars mowed down the legendary shadows with the Cyphers they held. The God Shadows couldn't take the Cyphers on without many of them. Even the best reaper in Sevan had to be scared here. Eve turned from scared to tense when she stepped forward.

"Why do you want the Cyphers?"

"Don't be like this Eve. I remember you being different than that when you were still above. Before you left." He said to Eve.

"Answer me damn it."

"It will be quick. Give me the cypher so I can do what I please."

"No way! We aren't giving you the Blue Cypher!" Rame yelled sounding like Mira. Their voices did change between themselves.

"Oh you..... I remember you too. You remember this blade?" He asked while activating it and displaying it.

"How did you get the cypher? It was taken from Vanderin years ago...." Rame asked as herself before realizing it. "No way..... You were the one who took it!"

"You've realized... I did take it years back. It was going to help in my plan."

"You monster! You made Vanderin fall apart! They attacked and lost a battle against Sligan Ramros making them lose everything they had in the fight to never be recovered! The division died because they lost the most important thing to them!" She yelled angrily.

"You think more than I thought you did but it was them who made the mistake of fighting Sligan Ramros. And I remember eyeing you as you left the Vanderin Reaper Academy to go to Sevan. You walked all that way leaving stuff behind and you fighting your other half. I eyed you only."

"Why did you take it?! Tell me before I rip your face open!"

"It's to help in my plan. Doing that knocked out one of the four divisions. All that is left is Sligan Ramros, Sevan, and Torigang. And the shadows are clawing the way into the abandoned division as we speak."

"Why did you do that?!" Rame yelled before throwing a punch at him, launching an explosive at him. He held his and out and looked away. A yellow symbol appeared and blocked it.

"Vanderin could have not fall apart even after I took the White Cypher. The other divisions are handling well without their Cyphers right now. If only the other divisions help Vanderin out it could have survived. It's not the White Cypher's absence that killed it. It was the divisions themselves. That's why I must destroy them all so people can live in one place without the struggles of living separate from each other. They'll live better under somebody who can lead them correctly. I lead more than the pathetic and stupid Leader Groups could wish for." He told to all of us. Rame clenched her fists in anger but stayed back because she knew she couldn't leave a scratch on him. Eve stepped forward again.

"You were a Legend back in The World Above. We had statues of you for what you did for the people and reapers in the Shadow Wars. You helped them so why are you fighting against them now?"

"True that I helped them but I didn't expect them to separate into four divisions after I left. I didn't pay it any mind earlier until I stole the cypher. I took it for an experiment to see if the others would help Vanderin. When Vanderin fell years ago the experiment's results showed that the divisions had no intent to help each other even when they clearly knew that Vanderin was falling apart. We need to live in a place where people want to support each other. I'm also a strong believer of only the strong live and the weak die." He said before activating the Cypher and creating a purple symbol behind him. "You look to be those who oppose me. The only ones who have so far. Let me see if you can survive to try and stop me!" He said before the symbol went into the light beam and made it larger. He swung it at our feet which we all jumped back to avoid and swung it at our chests. We dodged again. He then swung it to the ground causing a wave of energy to come towards us. We attempted to dodge but everybody except Azure fell to the ground and took a big amount of damage. Azure looked back at everybody and ran to attack the Angel. The light beam shortened and when back to white. Azure swung the sword at the Angel but not landing a hit. He jumped and flipped down to attempt to strike him down. His sword was grabbed by the Angel and he gave a look of dissatisfaction in Azure's actions before kicking him back to us and losing the sword he had. The Angel gripped the sword and broke it into pieces. We all struggled to get up but only Azure succeeded. He grabbed the Blue Cypher with his trembling hands and activated it.

"Azure! Don't use it!" Eve yelled out to him but he ignored her. It felt like poetic justice for him to ignore her. The Angel looked at him with happiness in his face.

"Yes, yes! Use it! Bring the Cypher to me!"

"Azure don't do it!" Rame yelled out.

"What's worse for you guys? Getting killed by him or having the small chance to stop him?" He asked them. He ran to the Angel with his energy pouring into the Cypher. He swung the cypher and clashed with the Angel. He was actually keeping up with him. They continued to clash. Azure was barely living trough every swing while the Angel was desperately trying to hurt him. Azure started to swing faster, causing the Angel to be edge. He found an opening and struck the Angel. Azure struck from above and the Angel grabbed the beam of light with his free hand and held it. The beam burned through his hand but he was intact enough to push the beam away and stabbed Azure in the chest. A red symbol appeared behind him and immediately imploded into the Cypher. He grabbed Azure and drove the Cypher through him more. He threw him back to us again and the Cypher dropped between me and the Angel. I has the strength to get up but not walk. I had enough to cut myself giving me one for two possible options. I either activate my cursed force and save the Cypher while having the risk of killing the other three or let him have it and work from there. High risk and high reward or no risk and e opposite of the reward with no possible casualties. Getting ahold of the Cypher should allow me to fight him but again with the others. I put my scythe to my arm and held the blade to the vein below my wrist. Either carry through or stop now. I prepared to cut myself but dropped the scythe and let the Angel take it. He rushed to grab it and picked it up.

"I said I would either take the cypher if you let me or I kill you to take it and you went with the not killing you option. I hate to let you live because I know you will come back later. Be grateful." He said before booking out of there. The others rose up to sit down on the roof. Azure laid there barely hanging on to life while Rame thought to herself probably with Mira and Eve struggled to stand up. She made it up and walked up to me. She punched me in the nose and I fell to the ground.

"That's for breaking the wall." She ask before doing an axe-kick to my chest.

"That's for letting him have it."

"It was either that or you guys getting killed by my cursed force. I need all of you to he get out of here. I stood up and held my now bleeding nose. I walked over to Rame and helped her up.

"I'm sorry for snapping earlier. We are in this together." Eve walked up behind me.

"Where's the apology for breaking the wall or booking on us for a shadow or using the cypher as a joke?"

"Can it Eve. I'm not going to until you know how to treat me and others." I said standing up to her. I walked to the ledge.

"He just said that to me?"

"It's true Eve. Work on that." Rame told her.

"It begins. We have four Cyphers to get and it won't be easy. Let's hope the gods carry us on the right paths." I said to myself while jumping off to loop back to the entrance of the ship.

That was fast. I really didn't think that this chapter would take this short amount of time. And I'd say this is my favorite thus far. Not my best maybe but my favorite so far. Hope you enjoyed like usual. ~ZeroGx
