Flne sighs' You fool!' He looks at Lio' Why in hell did you try to fight off the monsters!'
Lio' I..I wanted to protect Ulne...'
Flne' You could have gotten killed' He takes up some bandages and put it over Lio arm' It's a wonder that you only got minimal injuries, even if you protected that human' He looks at Ulne, who is looking at the book Lio gave him.
Lio' Well i don't want him to die'
Flne' I don't understand why you still choose to protect the humans'He get back and puts the bandages in a box and looks at him' The humans before him, have used you and tried to kill you, you have seen what they did to the people in Greeny village'

Screams ran out from the villages, and Lio looks out' T..that is...'
' Come here, you all!' She smiles and stabs a lady, but Vliney throws her back and looks at the lady' Get out from here!' The lady runs off.
Vliney looks in front, and a knife comes at her, but she blocks it and sighs' So stupid, Hey Line!, have you got all the people to safety?!'
Line smiles' Yes'
Vliney' Go-' The human stabs Vliney in the stomach.

Wil come up to her and give her a healing potion.
Flne' So how can you still trust that human?, he can stab you in the back'
Lio' I want to trust him' He looks at Ulne' He has not done anything yet, and he is... well, weak and a bit of a scaredy cat, so i don't think he would be able to kill another person'
Flne looks at him' Sure, just be careful'
Lio' I know, you have told me already'
Flne' Yes, i don't want you to die' He walks up to Lio and pats his shoulder' I just don't want to lose you'

Sai' Yo, so why are you swearing all of a sudden?'
Lio' Have you seen Jimle?, i well...brought up line death...'
Sai sighs' no, I have not, and well, that is not good, she still has not got over her death'

Sai looks at him.
Lio runs into the tent and looks around' Jimle!' He runs over to her.
Jimle looks away.
Lio looks at her' i..i want to say sorry that i said that to you, and well, that i bought up Line's death..'
Jimle looks at him.
Lio' I know her death is a thinig you still trying to come to terms with...so i'm sorry i brought it up, i was just angry that you're keeping everything to yourself'
Jimle' It did hurt when you said that... i know i keep some of my problems to myself, it just so i don't have to worry you all'

Lio' Okay, and what is it even?'
Jimle' It's the magic, it starting to get out of control'
Lio' W..what!'
Jimle' Yes' She looks into the mirror' Wil told me that the body started to lose control of the magic'
Lio' You joking, right?'
Jimle' No'
Lio sighs' Just be careful with your magic, please'
Jimle'I will'
Lio' Good'
Jimle gets up ' I will be going to Ulne and tell him'
Lio' Okay'
Jimle walks off, and Lio looks at her ' I hope you know what you're doing jimle'
Ulne sits on the ground and sighs' I hope they made it up'
The orb flies up to Ulne and heals his leg.
Ulne smiles' Thanks'
The orb blinks.
Ulne' Where have you been all this time, by the way?'
The orb flies to the ground and writes.
Ulne looks at it' y..you were in the undercity!'

Jimle' Yeah' She sits beside Ulne and looks out.
Ulne looks at her' Hey, what is the next area?. are you leading them over there?'
