Chapter 8: Restless
Later the next day...
The Saints are shocked at the complete and utter defeat of Lithius.
Xyex/ Xyon: "To think the one who can make others rot was the first to rot away."
Tioné: "Someone as rugged and ignorant as him shouldn't have let his chemistry with Draven get in the way."
Paruna: "Lithius was the arrogant one."
Quintzo: "(somberly) My favorite one to fuck with is no more..."
They all lock gazes.
Vauntra: "So now what? Do we just let him come to us or-"
A menacingly grim voice echoes around them.
Voice: "Don't let him follow your footsteps."
The Saints grow uneasy.
Lemorse: "Uh... what just happened?!"
Egrenorez: "(bleakly) Who shall be next to kill him?"
No one looks ready to take a turn after hearing that voice.
Morayne: "I'd like my head on my shoulders."
Ralyn: "I'd rather boost my odds first."
However, one manages to pull the loyalty out of his soul.
Angelos: "Fuck it, I'm in."
Xyex/ Xyon: "Are you willing to let your frail body go into a fight?"
Egrenorez: "Angelos has spoken. He shall be the third fighter in the name of the Entity."
Angelos: "I'll fight like no other."
He is swept away in a teal light.
Ralyn: "His funeral."
Morayne: "(yawning) I think I'll go take a nap..."
Lemorse: "Nap number 1,278,942?"
Vauntra: "(sarcastically) Today?"
Meanwhile...
Draven just purchased a nice upgrade in the form of a mithril laced morning star from Crowe.
Crowe: "Pleasure doing business."
The weapon feels quite a bit lighter, but just as durable.
Draven: "No need to sound cheesy."
Crowe: "So what? Make a sexual joke while I say it or something?"
Draven: "More like shut your damn-"
An envelope drops from the sky in a teal light.
Crowe; "Isn't that-"
A small tear drops from Draven's eye.
Draven: "... Angelos."
Draven already starts to walk away.
Draven; "(in head) Why so soon?"
Crowe: "Going already?"
Draven arrives at the exit to his castle.
Draven:"(somberly) The less time he has to prepare the better."
He walks towards Angelos's domain, filled with a sense of guilt and sorrow in his soul...
