After Zane finished burying Selena, you silently played with sticks carving pictures into the dirt. You drew a picture of you holding your baby, and Zane hand on your shoulder, smiling with his eye and mouth showing. You weren't a fantastic artist, but anyone could tell what you drew.
   You smiled at your own masterpiece. As you stared down at the drawing, water droplets fell down onto the baby's face. You looked up and saw Zane, tearing up but with tears of joy. You stared, surprised. "I remember when you left, when the carriage took you away. And this card." Zane pulled out a crayon scribbled piece of white paper. You gasped. Zane shrugged," I didn't know why I had it shoved in a pocket until now. I thought there was some meaning to it, and couldn't bring myself to toss it away. " You were on the brink of tears, but you promised yourself that you wouldn't cry. Zane continued, " I always remember our first date, how I asked you with a mouthful of chips," Zane paused to chuckle," and my brother, Garroth, asked....Emma.... My brother... Are they okay?!" Zane suddenly became panicked. I don't even know!? How am I supposed to tell him that?! Everyone from Phoenix Drop is who knows where! Even if the truth hurt, you couldn't bring yourself to lie to him.
"Zane, I honestly have no clue, that's how we ended up here in the first place. When me and you got back to Phoenix Drop one day, everything was gone. And then the shadow lord teleported us here. We never found anyone." You said, looking at your drawing to escape Zane's eyes. Zane was getting furious. "Don't you have powers?! Get us out of here then! What are you waiting for?!" You couldn't help but yell back," I gave them away, Zane, for you! You died! And I gave up my powers for you to live!" You finished and took a deep breath. Was I to hard?
Zane stepped back in shock. "W-what?!" He stammered. You again couldn't meet his eyes. "I d-didn't know...I'm sorry..." Zane whispered. Zane stomped his foot.
"Come on! This was supposed to be fun! You are supposed to be killing each other! You are supposed to be dead!!!" The shadow lord boomed. The sudden noise made you jump. Zane woke up from his slumber. After a long silence after Zane's apology, Zane fell asleep. You did work him to death, so you didn't bother him.
"What do you what with us?!" You yelled back to the shadow lord, wherever he is.
"And what happened to my brothers? And all those innocent citizens from Phoenix Drop?!" Zane joined in. There was a dreadful silence after that. Then a loud evil laugh. "Well, I haven't touched them, yet, if that's what you what to know. But that's besides the point. Two of you should be dead! Now either I kill all you, including your friends in Phoenix Drop, or you kill each other and the villagers live! Now which is it?!" The shadow was now aggravated. "Neither!" Zane yelled back.
Suddenly everything became white. You looked at Zane, he wasn't doing it, nor you. Aaron..was he...?
