*Seto POV*

It's been a few months since we escaped the squid's grasp, and it's been great. We're kinda still in their kingdom walls though.

I've been able to ask Ty's sister, Lilac, somethings; Like how they got separated, and how her other brother, Jack, got turned into a Shadow Man.

She says a creature took them out of the fire and changed he brother to save his life. It raised them and took care of them.

One day, Squillium came to their "home" and killed their "parent" when he tried to kill them. They swore revenge on him ever since.

She also said the last time she saw Ty, he was running with them and a beam collapsed and hit him on the head. That's also when they were saved.

Lilac sent me to work on my magic because it was a long time since I last used it. Jack was my instructor for the first couple of weeks, which was kinda hard because a Shadow Man can't touch or speak to you.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that Brice is still in his coma. They said that they tried everything they could, but I still haven't given up on him.

Barney has been wishing to get out of this place because he misses the sun, everyone does, but this is the only safe place for us in this time.

They say one person tried to leave, but was quickly killed by squids. Lilac said that their fight has become much more skilled.

Jordan was always trying to cheer everyone up. Steve is determined to get back at Dawn for everything. He says that she is the reason the squids know where the Budder region is.

Tim, Quetin, and Preston always bug Jack and Lilac, wanting to know things about Ty. Like what he did as a child.

"How are things doing with Brice?" Lilac snapped me back to reality. "I haven't made any major progress with him..." I mumbled.

She put her hand on my shoulder. "I know what ever progress you make will help him in anyway." She said reassuring me.

A small smile formed on my face "Thanks.... I'm sure one day you will be able to see how much Ty has grown." A small smile appeared on her face too.

"I would love to see him." She said walking out. "Anyway, keep the good work up."
