Various creatures of decay started to form from the dirt around Alexander.  Some looked newer than others while the vast majority of them were blackened. Their skin was paper thin and mumiphying their bones.

Chaos : and for added entertainment. Let's mute you

Alexander  tried to curse out at her but as she  smiled the realization that his voice was gone . Pain lingered in his neck as the army of dirt ruined soldiers  charged twords him.

---------------------------------------------------------

Ryoko took a sharp turn downwards plunging downwards threw the abyss of  clouds in the sky. Gray clung onto her scales tightly trying to pear threw the thick fluff around him.

After only moments they both emerged from the white.  Ryoko whipped her tail underneath her to steady herself.

Ryoko : there is someone injured in that building there. The smell of their blood is overpowering Alexander's scent.

Gray : let's go check it out .

They landed on the roof of the building . Gray slid down the side of the home as a small crowd of people started to come out of doors and windows to peer at the dragon.

---------------------------------------------------------

Dusk laid slumped against the wall. His chest  was tight as if someone had their fist around his heart running their fingers around  it and  cutting it with sharp nails.  Every time dusk attempted to move it would feel as if his body would stop and die  before restarting.

He hurd a thump against the roof followed by the walls beneath it creaking. He attempted to move once more managing to sit up before the pain and emptiness set in causing his body to fall against the wall. 

His chest burned as the sound of a door opening could be hurd. Dusk looked at Alice then twords Harris. He deserved this . This was just punishment for taking them out. And he knew it. After all he had a choice  to run but chaos' voice becomes him and overall forced him to do her bidding. He mentally shook his head .

Dusk : no........ Alice I'll avenge you .....

Footsteps could be hurd getting closer and closer to his room . Dusk managed to pick himself to a knee then to a stand not carrying about the emormas pain and steam that he was giving himself.

Dusk : I've died before, go on try to kill me again . It won't be easy .

The door opened to the room.

---------------------------------------------------------

Gray opened the door. He saw dusk standing looking half dead and the bodies near him.

Gray: Dusk? What did you do?

Dusk: oh it's just you

He seemed to be struggling to hold himself up let alone talk.

Gray: did you - nevermind

Dusk: Alexander is in trouble  we have to go and help him.

Gray : I know but

Dusk: come on we need to act quick

He managed out the doorway before stumbling and leaning against the wall. Being out oh that room seemed to relieve him slightly.  The pain and tourment he was going threw didn't stop but significantly lightened.  Dusk stood up straight and looked at gray .

Dusk: come on let's go before he gets himself killed.

Gray : ya.

---------------------------------------------------------

Alexander doged and attacked but the infinite wave of people seemed to only be tireing him out. He realized how much he used his abilities to his advantage and how he couldn't do anything if his voice was going .

That was wrong. He had other ways then this element. They taught him ways of fighting that involved  no speech.  The other elements , some shells from the book ava had.  He just had to get an opportunity  to use them .

Chaos snickered as she watched Alexander squirm. Until she realized something.  Alexander was now letting the creatures attack and touch him but the infliction he was receiving seemed minimal at best.

Chaos: hey pest play the game right letting them attack you won't being any entertainment.

Alexander gave chaos a slight smile as he looked twords her and he snapped his fingers. By the hundreds in a circle around him the creatures started to fall apart and grow small flowers on the rotting bodies.

Alexander recalled the exact moment when ava had shown him this on trees. It had properties of both life and death . She called it renewal. And as of the  demonstration he had shown by a tough of a subject  or caster the effected area spreads and with the densely packed area it was easy to let a few touch him and infect the others. With a sigh from the caster the ability could be void or activated .

This action outraged chaos. She started acting like a small child who had just been told no for the first time before regaining her composer. Alexander stared to move twords her then stoped as a harsh voice could be hurd.

Chaos : you bastard. Destroying those toys as if they were nothing . Fine I wanted this to be fun but now no. I'll enjoy breaking you.

A crow that had been flying around landed and changed shape. It's feathers fell off changing to small triangular beeds. The body changed to that of a man holding a strange yet familiar  foreign object.

The man's eyes seemed blank. The hair on the man was matted into his beard. The uniform worn was a mixture of various shades of greens and brown in blotches. Chaos walked over to the man as he started to pick up the triangular beeds. She swiped her hand across his face. She seemed as she glared directly into Alexander.

Alexander took a step back. He had recalled what the object was and it's destructive speed.
