"Long time no see, Kenric. Or wait, I hear it's Aspect now, isn't it?" said the elf Kenric had once trusted.  "W-what- I- don't-" stammered Aspect, choking back sobs. Terik watched him stumble backwards, in fear and shock. "I know you don't understand, Kenric. But that's the problem. No one will understand unless we show them." "But- you- you" said Aspect, falling on his knees. "I'm sorry, old friend." said Terik, as he walked off into an office, casting sympathetic looks back at the elf. Aspect just sat there, staring at where his former ally had been. 

A couple minutes later, he broke into ugly sobs. Trix was just going to deliver a report, and caught a glimpse of Aspect. He hurried down to find the former councilor sobbing and shaking on the ground. "Hey, Aspect are you alright?" the guster asked. "N-no- T- t" The former councilour clung to Trix. "Wha-" said Trix stopping when he realized how much pain the elf was in.  He could not understand what Aspect was saying, but carried him to Eden. "What the Gorgodon happened?!" the medic exclaimed, shock carrying into his voice. "I don't know..." said Trix .  Aspect had stopped crying by this point. Trix  gently set him down on the medical cot. Eden just gave him a very potent mood elixir. 

"What were you crying about?" asked Trix. "It's nothing, it's stupid." "And I am a T-rex. Tell me the truth please." "It's just, Terik, he was always so kind and sweet, and he always comforted people, and that was a lie! He lied to us! He lied to everyone! I thought he was my friend..." Trix sighed, and so did Eden. They both knew how hard this was, especially for an elf like Kenric, who was so pure, and kind. "Well, he might not be your friend, but you have us now. Me, Flicker, probably Trix if he let you ruin his cloak like that." said the doctor. Aspect studied the elf who had brought him up here. There were bags under his eyes, and a military style haircut. His cloak was crushed, and soaked with Aspect's tears. "Oh! I am so sorry about your cloak!" said Aspect frantically. "Don't sweat it, it was due for a wash anyways..." replied Trix. Just then, Flicker walked into the healing center, brandishing a bag that smelled amazing! She stared at them. "Umm... did I miss something?" All three of the elves burst into laughter. Even Trix! Though his laugh was more of  an amused snort. 

It turns out, Flicker was on a mission in the Forbidden Cities. Before leaving though, she picked up nachos! (Vegetarian ones of course, but still!) Aspect and Trix had no idea what those were, so the four of them headed to Aspect's dorm. They hung out there, telling stories, and jokes, and stuffing their faces with cheesy goodness. Trix definitely was not eating more than 3 of those "calorie loaded fat foods" no joke, he actually said that. So naturally, the other three pinned him down and forced some food into the hardcore elf. When they finally let go, Trix's hair and face was smeared with sticky cheese. Truth be told, he had not had this much fun in ages! Flicker even offered to make him a new cloak, after Eden accidentally squirted coke at him. (Yes, they sampled fizzy drinks, and all decided that lushberry juice was better!) Trix decided he most definitely HAD to bring these elves ice cream. They would go nuts. Everyone thought Trix only ate the healthy stuff, but he had a huge sweet tooth...

Authors note: This series was getting... really dark. So we decided to put in something a little more... Fun? Plus, Trix gets some spotlighting.
