Part 2, Pride
The Man of the Skies flew off, leaving Lalna to his own thoughts. He sighed, sitting on the back of his chair and putting his face in his hands. For the first time in a while, Lalna just thought. Not with numbers, or other languages, just his own thoughts.
“It’s not hard,” Lalna realized.
“No,” Rythian’s voice answered. “It’s not.”
Anger rose up within Lalna, but with a quick exhale, it faded again. I should hate you.
“Oh you should,” Lalna felt him smiling. But if you did, I’d be just empty emotions.
“How’s Zoey?” Lalna asked.
Christ, Duncan. I’m surprised you haven’t shut me out yet. She’s alright. Sleeping off some of the magic she had in her system. Still a bit phased.
Lalna felt Rythian’s anger and his grief and his liquid rage towards Lalna himself. Yet the alchemical mage didn’t respond to that small note, or acknowledge it. “You realize what you’re sort of… giving me sight to, right?”
“Oh, I know. It’ll backfire on me, but… I’ve had my share fair of talks with Ridge. In all my years, your pain triumphs.”
Lalna smiled, his eyes tracing the walls of his castle. “Can you tell me about her?”
Lalna felt Rythian shift in his stance. The alchemical mage was leaning against a wall, with Tee’s arrows raining outside and Zoey curled up on the couch.
“She’s definitely unique. She’s so herself, in this world of madness.” Tapping into the mage’s mind a bit more, Lalna felt Rythian’s fierce protectiveness towards the technomage that he’d put his life before her. He decided to let Rythian see the same.
For a second, the two of them couldn’t almost be told apart, the emotions they had for Zoey. Then Rythian closed the door, mentally, on that emotion and Lalna was left in his old, clinical feelings.
“Why do you want revenge?” Lalna asked him. “All it does is cause madness.”
“Why do you set a nuke under our base? Why did, years ago, your blade tore the world to shreds?” Rythian countered. “It’s the same reason, Lalna.”
“I don’t understand,” The scientist replied.
“Fair enough,” Rythian answered. “Fairness is such a little thing that should matter, but at the end of the world with an apple between two men… Fairness is all to them.”
“I still don’t…” Lalna sighed.
“You will, in given time. But remember this, scientist, perhaps now we stand on a neutral platform in the skies, but the next time we stand face to face, we are both falling.”
There the thick scent of perfumey magic, and Rythian was gone from Lalna’s mind. The moment he was gone, Lalna collapsed, anger turning his limbs to jelly. What did Rythian, in his right mind, have the pleasure of coming into Lalna’s and reading his thoughts like a book!? What reason did he!
He slumped against his desk leg, burying his face into the red rug beneath him.
“Fairness is such a little thing,” Lalna whispered, lifting the rug. Beneath it was a black and white photograph, taken by Ridge, years ago.
Two children stood on it, a small girl with wild red hair, playing in the sand; while a little freckled blonde boy danced around her. Behind them, stood a half-blaze man, the man who saved Lalna’s mother from falling into the lava. She stood, her mossy green eyes smiling at him from the still.
In the background, past the marble house and the treetop cottage, in the shadows stood a young boy, with violet eyes and messy brown hair. A woman stood behind him, her arm lightly on his shoulder.
Lalna’s eyes burned, and he couldn’t stop the salty teardrops that traced his cheeks. Nor could he stop the memories that climbed back to the surface of his mind, Zoy and Lan, adventures forever.

Back at the makeshift Blackrock Castle, Zoey woke. She had the weirdest dream… she was playing in the sand… with a little blonde boy.

Vengeance part 3
It was a few hours after the incident with Lalna that Lomadia realized the flaw in her plan to steal the medicine.
The plan required her to be able to see in the dark, but she didn't have any night vision potions or goggles.
She knew where she could possibly find them, though.
After making sure that Lalna was awake – he had no memory of the incident or what had caused it – and as well as possible, and Mr. Owl was on watch, she left again. She headed right for the remains of the castle.
Teleporting in, she found herself on the edge of the clearing. Glancing around, she didn't see anybody, so she carefully began to trek up towar

Behind the Walls part 1
Escaping had been the easy part. There was so much chaos after the outbreak that nobody noticed him walking out. Those two fools were so busy trying to rebuild their precious labs. He had simply walked out the front door... after a quick pit stop by the weapons and development division. He had everything he needed to progress with the plan he had been preparing since the minute he stepped out of the cloning vat.
He opened the door and stepped out into the sunlight, flinching at how bright it was. It was his first time ever seeing the sun.
He took a deep breath, and the wind blew across the field. The air was so different out here. It even t

Rythian's Cat Part 2
I woke up. I hadn't thought that I would, so it was quite the surprise when I felt myself regaining conciseness. I had heard muffled voices, and felt bodies shifting around in what I assumed was a room. There were two voices. One male the other female, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. They sounded familiar...
I start to open my eyes, and the surprise I had received upon waking was nothing compared to this. Its not often you wake up to a dinosaur staring down at you. We stare at each other in unmoving silence for a bit. when the dinosaur starts to stand I give a small yelp and sink into what I now realize is a couch. The
