A presence attaches self around Raion, layered in thick black fog that has itself wrapped around Raion.
Veter: What??
Veter quickly stumbles backwards
Veter: This black fog... its the same as before.
Baskia: Raion?
The fog grows stronger around Raion as his mind races with the thoughts of murdering Koron. Raions eyes instantly start illuminating, become more prominent.
Veter looks at Raion with terror in his eyes. Unable to move, all he can do is stare in fright; his eyes locking onto Raions
Veter: Why am I so frightened right now?Just as hes about to try and say something to Raion, Baskia comes over to Veter and softly places his hands upon Veter's shoulder. Veter moves his eyes away from Raions piercing sapphire eyes, and onto Baskia tender golden eyes.
Veter: Is he... comforting me right now?
Baskia: "Raion, why dont we calm down just a little."
Raion: "Calm down? You expect me to calm down? I'll be calm when I have Korons head dangling from my hands. His blood dripping down my wrists."
Baskia: "As I said Raion, you should calm down."
Raion: "Why should I calm down?"
His expression becomes more thirsty for blood.
Baskia: "Because you're scaring Veter."
Veter, who still looking up at Baskia is taken back by Baskias comment.
Veter: I was right, he does care.
Raion takes his view away from Baskia and onto Veter. The blackened fog around Raion begins to slowly fade away, his murderous expressions vanishing.
Raion: "Veter... he's scared.. of me."
Baskia: "You've noticed now."
Veter breaks out of his trance.
Veter: "It's not.. that."
In what felt like the blink of an eye. Raions hands are firmly wrapped around Veters back. Veter not wrapping his arms around Raion to embrace the hug, first takes his eyes towards Baskia. As if he is asking for approval. Baskia nods his head at Veter and mouths the words "It's okay.". Veter then returns Raions embrace.
Baskia lets out a heartfelt giggle, covering his mouth slightly with the back of his arm. He's just too cute.
Raion whos eyes had that inhuman look, are now shedding tears onto Veters back.
Raion: "Veter I'm sorry! I didnt mean to scare you."
Veter: "Its alright Raion, I'm the one who should be sorry. How unthoughtful of I to be that scared of you. How you must be feeling is more important to me than my own feelings."
Baskia: There he goes trying to put others first. Oh how I admire him.
Veter stands up from Raions hug.
Veter: "Alright now that this has been taken care of. Dont you think you should apply pressure to Korons wounds?" Veter points directly at Koron.
Raion: " I did it again!" He throws his arms up in disbelief and again places them immediately onto Korons wound.
Veter looks over at Raion who's hands are soaked in Korons blood, still applying pressure to the wound that Raion had made during his insane outburst.
Veter: "Raion?"
Raion: "What is it Veter?"
Veter: "Are you sure you're okay?"
Raion looks down at his hands, his hands covered in blood. He then slowly looks up at Veter and then around the area. Taking in everything that has happened. He turns his head towards Veter.
Raion: "I'll be honest with you Veter. I'm not actually sure if I'm fine or not. I lied earlier when you guys asked me if everything was okay. I couldn't grasp the situation at hand; I mean weeks ago I was just a normal person, training with Fourth to better my magic. Now here I am fighting for my life, yours Baskia and Veters. Its hard to pinpoint my feelings about this situation."
Baskia: "Raion, Veter? My magic... its fading out."
Veter: "Wait, what do you mean? How can it be fading... "
Baskia: "I'm not sure. No it cant be, could it?"
Baskia suddenly gets a realization. His eyes widen with fear and disbelief, he looks at Veter and Raion.
Raion: "Veter, what is it? What's happening?"
Veter: "Raion, I'm not sure but from the looks on Baskia face, it doesnt appear to be good."
Baskia: "Remember when I mentioned why I'm going to go see Wen?"
Veter: "Yeah, you ended up weaseling your way into Fourths and Raions travels by misleading them and lying to them; up until your magic abilities wouldn't work on me and then you...."
Baskia takes his glance over at Raion, who's nodding his head in agreement to Veters words. Veter continues spouting words as Baskia looks at him with this rejected expression on his face. He then yells abruptly
Baskia: "It's not uh well. That's not all true!"
Veter and Raion turn to face Baskia. Whose face is now bright red, yet there appears to be a bit of sadness peaking through.
Veter looks concernedly over at Baskia, his eyes carefully follow to Baskias.
Veter: Was it wrong for me to say those things? They were true in some sense or another, but just look at him. I cant help but find his facial expressions adorable.
Baskias eyes shift upward locking onto Veters. Veter gives Baskia this sheepish grin, making Baskias face turn even more red. He quickly turns his glance away from Veter.
Baskia: "You cant keep doing that."
Raion: "Doing what? What is happening here. Shouldn't we be focused on what you said few moments ago. "
Veter: "Raion is correct. Baskia, you mentioned your magic is fading?"
Baskia: "Yes its not as effective as it should be. Remember when I said that Angfel rock is in trouble? Well it appears that one of The Five are on the brink of death. "
Raion: "Death!? But how could that be? How do you know this?"
Baskia: "As one of the first members of Angfel rock, I can sense it. I just know. We were all linked with our magic. But since my magic ability is mind control the links between I and the other four is immensly stronger. Though it's not as strong as Dōsatsu."
Raion: "Dōsatsu?"
Veter: "I briefly recall you mentioning that name."
Baskia: "Yes, thats the other member. She has the sensory magic."
Veter: "Well...What happens now?"
Baskia: "It appears that this ability has reached its limits. My other abilities wont have any affect on Korons wound. Im only capable of a few healing abilities And that was my best one."
Raion frantically looks down at Koron, all his blood slowly dripping out of Korons wound. The sword still sticking out of him where Raion brutally stabbed him.
Raion: "We... he's... we wont be able to save him."
Baskia: "Dont spout such nonsense!"
Raion: "How can I not?! You just said that you cant help Koron anymore!"
Baskia: "That doesn't mean you or I should stop fighting! Fourth is waiting for us to save him. He's counting on you Raion!"
Raion begins to recall all the memories that Fourth, Baskia and himself had. Even though it was all a lie with Baskia from the moment he joined them. But I still had so much fun with them, I know my feelings were true during those times.
Veter: "He is right, Raion. Fourth is waiting for you to save him. Are you gonna give up on your friend!?"
Raion snaps out of his own self pity.
Raion: "I will save Fourth!"
