Arcadia: *She ignored the door which closed itself in a gulf of flames and instantly focused her attention to Ginger.* "Ginger!"

  Ginger: "..." *She sat in a meditative-like state, as a bright red glyph shined underneath her.*

  Arcadia: "Ginger, do thou hear me?!" *She wheeled down foreign-like gardens.*

  Ginger: "Can you not see, I am busy?" *She hissed while keeping a professional composure.*

  Arcadia: "The disease has accelerated-"

  Ginger: "Cosmic flames, crash down, blasting burns-" *She shouted with an echoing voice and the glyph suddenly burst around her, causing Arcadia to lean back in the wheelchair.*

  Arcadia: *She noticed gardeners failing to discreetly observe Ginger.* "You don't usually do this in front of people."

  Ginger: *She watched the broken glyph implode towards her arm, burning itself on to her skin.* "I do not care, nor do I see the logic in keeping this discussion from continuing any longer-"

  Arcadia: "Thy have come to forewarn thou-"

  Ginger: *She sat in a relaxed state, observing a freshly red tattoo-like glyph on her glyphic covered arm.* "In this state, you are nothing but a weak woman that can feel people's emotions."

  Arcadia: "Thy will not tolerate such a lack of humility!-"

  Ginger: *She stood up and took several steps forward, purposely looking down to Arcadia.* "I have appreciated the opportunity of being under your aide, but for now on, I will pursue my brother on my own terms-"

  Arcadia: "This childish behaviour is over Niklauseh Susanoo?!"

  Ginger: "Childish? Someone with empathic abilities, your response is highly illogical!"

  Arcadia: "Thy'm trying to restore balance!-"

  Ginger: "And you can do it without killing your own friend's family!" *She suddenly screamed with emotion, causing Arcadia to gasp in shock.*

  Arcadia: "Thy... The Wise wanted me to-"

  Ginger: "How disgraceful!" *She spun around, flicking her long black hair to the side.* "Ey Arcadia?"

  Arcadia: "..." *She silently stared at Ginger's back.*

  Ginger: "Why don't you read my emotions? Then you'll understand what the problem is."

  Arcadia: "Thy can't read your emotions."

  Ginger: "Ey? You conspire my brother's death behind my back and now treat me like a fool?" *She suddenly formed fists.* "You understand, don't you, Arcadia? Please respond."

  Arcadia: "...-"

  Ginger: "Besides insulting the Susanoo blood, being called or treated like a fool-" *She spoke in anger and straightened her right arm, placing her other hand near her shoulder.*

  Arcadia: *She ignored the gardeners gasp at Ginger's battle-ready pose.* ".. Thou will fight?"

  Ginger: "Leave me alone."

  Arcadia: *She shook her head even though Ginger did not face her.* "Thy cannot read your emotions because of a promise thy made long ago."

  Ginger: "Ey? Please respond?"

  Arcadia: "Your memory isn't the best when thou have things on your mind, but.. As friends, thy swore to never intrude on your deep feelings."

  Ginger: *She discreetly gasped with a dropping jaw, as if she forgot about that promise.* "Are you meaning to tell me-"

  Arcadia: "That thy could read your emotions this entire time? Yes. Thy chose not to, because thy'll uphold my promise to you."

  Ginger: "..." *She silently lowered her arm.*

  Arcadia: "Thy also promise, even though thy'll get to his location way before thou." *She looked down, playing with the wheels on each side.*

  Ginger: (She can track Niklauseh down easily.. And with her Astral abilities...-) *She stared at the ground, deep in thought.*

  Arcadia: *She slowly exhaled, as if she knew she'd get in trouble.* "Thy will let thou see him first."

  Ginger: *She looked up with a gasp.* "You mean to tell me-?"

  Arcadia: "Try and persuade him, Ginger Susanoo!"

  Ginger: *She smiled to herself in a guilty-like manner.* "Yoeshh."

  Arcadia: "This entity.."

  Ginger: "I will hear of this." *She kept her back facing Arcadia.*

  Arcadia: "Thy sense this power heading North, towards The Twilight Forest."

  Ginger: "And Niklauseh?"

  Arcadia: "Klaus is at the old Elementalist city."

  Ginger: "Ruins of Estel?"

  Arcadia: "Affirmative. He appears to be located where thy first felt this unknown origin."

  Ginger: "Why have you not pursued this threat already?"

  Arcadia: "Thy'm having trouble freely entering the dream state."

  Ginger: "Ey? Is this why you haven't sought out my brother? Please respond."

  Arcadia: "No.. That was due to a promise."

  Ginger: "I will be on my way." *She suddenly sprinted forward, jumping over several gardens and a small river-like feature.*

  Arcadia: *She listened to bamboo hitting a rock, as she watched two large wooden poles separate, revealing an exit.* (Good luck.)

  Ginger: (Brother.. Don't do anything drastic.) *She thought to herself in desperation, before flashstepping out of sight, leaving behind a pulse of dirt and grass just outside the wooden fortress.*

  ---------

  *Nathan and Karol stood in the middle of an open flat field with hut-sized branches of crystal, which sparkled in the sun's light.*

  Nathan: *He pointed his sword at Karol in exhaustion.* "Had enough?"

  Karol: *He placed one hand on his stomach and shook his head, listening to large trees with thin branches, sway in the distance.* "No!"

  Nathan: *He took a step forward, crunching on small blue crystals.* "We need to keep trying!"

  Karol: "What will happen if we bweak one?" *He pointed at the closest bush-like crystal, watching its shadow cover a small portion of the field.*

  Nathan: *He turned around, facing the crystal with a frown, ignoring the blood which stringed from his hand down his sword.* "It was us..." *He grunted with gritted teeth, tightening his grip on the sword.*

  Karol: *He tugged on his dancer-like robes, glancing away.* "..."

  Nathan: "If we were stronger, he wouldn't have died protecting us!"

  Karol: *He jumped in fright, due to Nathan's anger filled yells.* "Nafan-"

  Nathan: "Air Slash." *He quickly raised the sword and sliced it downwards, slashing an airwave towards the crystal.*

  Karol: *He watched the airwave hit the sword, causing the crystal to hum in response nearby.* (Noffing-)

  Nathan: "Help, Karol!" *He shouted at Karol, as his body glowed a shade of blue.* "Twenty nine, Air Slash."

  Karol: *He started to dance, causing an orange glyph to expand underneath Nathan.* (Despite being mean, Nafan is wright! If we were stronga, Twevour would still be-)

  *Karol thought to himself with drive, causing the orange glyph underneath Nathan to brighten.*

  Karol: "Power Up."

  Nathan: "Harh!" *He sliced the sword downwards, causing an air slash to slice through the air, cracking the crystal upon impact.*

  Karol: *He giggled in accomplishment.* "Nee hee, we did it-"

  Nathan: "No!"

  Karol: *He stopped in mid-dance, causing sweat to drip off his face.* "Nafan-"

  Nathan: "This still isn't enough.. This still isn't enough." *He mumbled with his deep voice, as his lips quivered, causing sweat to drip off of them.*

  Karol: "I'm tyred, Nafan-"

  Nathan: "Fine, go back to playing in the dancing box!-"

  Karol: "Why are you so mean-?!" *He squealed with watering eyes.*

  Nathan: "You're a child!"

  Karol: "Bhut-"

  Nathan: "You don't understand!"

  Karol: "We've been doing this non stahp! We finwally managed to crwack the krystal."

  Nathan: "Cracking the crystal isn't enough." *He discreetly wiped tears away with his shoulders and held the sword with both hands.* "It's not enough to save our friend."

  Karol: "Bhut-"

  Nathan: "If you're going to complain, then get out of here."

  Karol: *He pouted with a frown and started to dance.* "Power Up."

  Nathan: (Trevour..-) *He sliced the sword down and slashed a visible airwave towards the crystal, causing it to hum.* "N-Nothing?"

  Karol: *He tripped on his own feet and collapsed to the side.* "Owch-"

  Nathan: *He dropped to his knees.* "You're just a kid!"

  Karol: "I'ma man!-"

  Nathan: "If you're a man, why did Trevour die?!"

  Karol: "I-..?" *He looked surprised and shocked, as if he didn't believe Nathan just asked that question.*

  Nathan: "Why didn't you protect him!" *He shouted at the ground without even looking at Karol.*

  Karol: "W-..." *His lips quivered, as tears ran down his sobbing face.* "Why are yooh mean to me?"

  Nathan: "Why are you so pitiful?!"

  Karol: "I..."

  Nathan: "Why... Did I fail him?" *He bent forward, placing his head on the grass, hiding his tears.*

  Karol: (He... Was he talking tooh me?) *He sniffed in thought and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hands in a child-like manner.*

  Nathan: "Dammit.. Why am I so weak?! I try my hardest.. I try.. I try so hard! Why?!"

  ----------

  *Deep in a tropical forest a buzz-like sound echoed inside of it, causing ferns to suddenly sway in a tunnel of wind.*

  ?????: *A large red and black blurred object, flashed through the forest, causing the branches and ferns to sway behind it.* (Why did she want to see me personally?) *A man's voice echoed in thought.*

  *The buzz-like sound echoed into a small clearing, surrounded by large blue mushrooms.*

  ?????: *A large man dressed in tight red and black leather stepped into the small clearing, glancing to each side.* "Tara?"

  Tara: "Fufufu. Hello, Tyson." *Her voice came from the bushes, catching Tyson's attention.*

  Tyson: *He quickly looked to the side and watched two large mushrooms suddenly close up like an un-blossomed flower, causing it to puff out sparkles of green light.* "Tara Confessor?"

  Tara: "Fufufu." *Her laugh came from the other side, causing Tyson to glance in the direction, watching three more mushrooms puff out green sparkling spores.*

  Tyson: "What is the meaning of this?" *He scratched underneath the rolls in his leather uniform.*

  Tara: "I summoned you here to tell you about Blake's incompetence."

  Tyson: "Not this again, Tara. I need to finish collecting the tax from-"

  Tara: "You said you were indecisive about removing Blake from the captain seat."

  Tyson: "But-"

  Tara: *She casually walked into the clearing and purposely brushed her hand against a mushroom, causing it to curl upwards, puffing out green glittering spores.* "There's something you need to know."

  Tyson: *He sighed and rubbed his double chin.* "What?"

  Tara: "If you haven't noticed, Zazark-"

  Tyson: "His Neurons have slowly been corrupted?" *He spoke in an annoyed-like manner.* (I will be frustrated if that's all she wanted to tell me.)

  Tara: "You knew?"

  Tyson: ".. Yes."

  Tara: "Well, his Neuron signature changed, as you would've already known."

  Tyson: *He nodded his head.* "The moment he lost his arm, was when he lost his mind."

  Tara: "Fufufu.. Well, where is our team member now?"

  Tyson: "Don't be foolish-" *He spoke in an annoyed-like manner.* "We might be in The Twilight Forest, but we can still sense our comrade's-"

  Tara: "Where is he?" *She faced Tyson with an annoyed frown.*

  Tyson: "He's-" *He paused a looked confused.*

  Tara: (Fufufu.) *She laughed in thought.*

  Tyson: *He tilted his head to the side, as if he was trying to hear something.* "Is he in a Purity Zone?"

  Tara: "Nope."

  Tyson: "His Neuron signature is-"

  Tara: "Gone? Yeah, he's kinda dead."

  Tyson: *He gasped with widening eyes and leant back, causing his fat to jiggle.* "You can't possibly expect me to believe that-"

  Tara: "A good leader wouldn't allow any of his guild members to die."

  Tyson: "Blake..." *He mumbled to himself, as he registered this new information.*

  Tara: "Remember what you said?"

  Tyson: "At the rendezvous meeting?" *He looked down to his waist, staring at his green coloured whip, neatly curled up.*

  --

  Quintess: "Blake?"

  Zazark: "Captain?"

  Blake: "Aye?" *He slowly moaned into consciousness, as several people dressed in black and red leather shook him.*

  Tara: "..." *She sat on the sand with her arms crossed over her legs, as if she was annoyed at Blake.*

  Blake: "Tyson, Quintess, Synthoss, Zazark? Wat are you bitches doing here?"

  Tyson: "The rendezvous meeting?"

  Quintess: "What happened?" *She glanced at Blake and Tara, as if she could tell something happened between them.*

  Synthoss: "Why have the Consultants requested for us to meet together?"

  Tyson: *He nodded his head while pinching a roll of fat.* "All of us, something big?"

  Zazark: *He looked at his arm and frowned to himself.* "I want revenge!"

  Blake: "Aye?"

  Tara: "While you were skipping around trying on nail polish, Zazark got into a fight with the guild and lost his arm."

  Quintess: "They are strong enough to take us on?"

  Synthoss: "Did you have your limiter?"

  Zazark: "..."

  Tyson: "Fufufu, you did, didn't you?"

  Tara: "Blake Hegarty is not fit to be leader!"

  Tyson: "Tara?" *He spoke in shock.*

  Blake: "Not this again-"

  Tara: "How about you let the others talk for themselves?"

  Synthoss: *She looked at her twin sister.* "So far, Blake has done a great job."

  Quintess: "I concur."

  Tyson: "Nobody has died."
