Alexander was woken by the pup licking his cheak. His face had open wounds but they seemed to have been closing quickly. He sat up and pain shot into his head.

Dusk: your awake that's good , hey look  I'm sorry . I'm sorry for lashing our at you like I did . I'm sorry about the first time we met . I'm sorry for my overall existence.

Alexander: dusk, you don't have anything to apologize for. 

The room stoped spining and Alexander saw the blankness in dusks
face.

Dusk : I killed the only person I've cared about, all becouse of that bitch. Alexander she said she knew you. How could that be .

Alexander: knew who

Alexander glanced at the bodies that laied in the room and they made him think about creation and destruction. 

Dusk: chaos.  I don't know what game she's playing but she wanted me broken . I guess it worked. I have no meaning now

Alexander: dusk . Get a hold of yourself .  Whom every this chaos person is I won't let them mess with your head anymore. Dusk despite what happened here your alive for a reason. It may feel like life seemes worthless there is always something to strive for . You just have to find it .

Chaos : what kind words from a disgrace like you .

Dusks face filled with rage and hatred barrier in sorrow . That voice was too familiar than Alexander would had liked . He turned around and saw the grotesque face chaos was putting off.

Alexander: who are you

Chaos : that's right you wouldn't recognize me in this form would you. Maybe these ones will satisfy you a lot more. We want this to be fun ,don't we.

From the waist chaos spilt . Half of her was creation , beautiful and dangerous , while the other destruction, a bitter looking man . They slug back together as chaos giggled.

Chaos: now Alexander our dance must begin .

She put a taunting hand out to him. Dusk tried to stand as he was becoming more and more angry.

Dusk: you bitch, you made me do this ,

Chaos : as I recall it was her hands around her neck , either way I'll have plenty done with you after me and this brat, you didn't finish off, are threw .

Dusk fell to the floor, not unconscious but like a doll.

Dusk: Alexander

Alexander: dusk stay here I'll be fine and don't worry I won't loose

Chaos chucked as Alexander headed twords her .

Lidia was in her shop going over her order forms. Two of them were from people she had done business with that were just requesting a sharpening on their tools of trade. The other four of them were adventures that needed better items.

Lidia : guess it can't be helped.

She roles up her sleeves and picked the two blades that required sharpening.

She was sitting at the sharpening stone and began. Sparks flew off as the metal hit the fast spining stone. After she was done with those she leans them against them wall.  Now came the part she had to be careful about. She looked twords the forge then at her stomach that had a life growing in it.

Lidia :  you know what , no. Those adventurers will have to wait for their weapons.  I can't do such a thing now . I'm being risky even being around it.

She picked up the recently sharpened weapons delivered them to her clients and made her way to the college. Upon arriving she was informed the max had left.

An earth element teacher : oh lidia , max is out

Lidia : what do you mean he's out?

An earth element teacher: him and a few of the students that remained of campus  just left.

Lidia : that idiot , do you have any clue where they went

An earth element teacher: no but them mentioned that boy Alexander.

Lidia : well thanks anyways

She tweed and walked away from the college . She knew what that ment even if max tried to keep it a secret . She just hoped they would both be safe .

Lidia : you with are idiots. Stay safe I'll be waiting.

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

Max : we are almost there

Ace: you had to bring that bird , it's disrupting the air flow.

Max : of dear little brother , you wouldn't understand.

Ace : wouldn't understand  right .

Silf: stop arguing

Max: silf your right there are more important  matters than this right now.

Max increased his speed on the bird a hold ace pushed himself to catch up.

Hue and quillo looked onward into the blur of green and brown  flowing past them.

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

Alexander  cased chaos's skipping . She lured him around the corner and our of the building . He could hear her giggling threw his head. It taunted him .

Chaos: hey how about we go to somewhere more open . Even if being here gives me more toys to play with,  I want to dedicate my focus to you .

She snapped her fingers and for a second Alexander's world turned black until the new location faded in. They were surrounded by grass and Alexander  could see the small town in the distance.

Chaos : alright . Come at me boy, this will be fun won't it .

Alexander: shut your mouth right now

Chaos: oh I got a nerve there. Here you can play with these toys . I'm pretty sure you'll survive enough.
