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...
