Flne looks at Vliney's office door and sighs''why in hell did she want to talk to me of all people'' He puts his arms together'' Maybe I'm going to gets some more work to do, hahha try i-''

The door opens and Wil comes out'' Flne''

Flne gets up and looks'' Y..yes''

Wil looks at him'' You can come in'' He walks in, and Flne follows. While inside he see Sai'' Sai?, what are you doing here?''

Sai'' I want to talk to you''

Flne sighs'' About more work?''

Sai'' No, take a seat''

Flen sit down. 

Vliney looks at him'' Welcome Flne''

Flne''Thanks''

Vliney'' You know that Jimle has her magic''

Flne''Yes, what about it?''

Vliney'' Did you see anything weird happen to her while she used the magic?''

Flne'' No, should something have?''

Vliney'' No, you know a human does not have as much magic as us''

Flne'' Yes, so?''

Vliney'' If she uses too much magic, it can kill her, if she is unlucky''

Flne ''W...What!''He got up from the chair'' Did you know it from the start''

Vliney'' No, I did not. I got to learn it some days ago. I asked if Wil could try to find some info on what would happen if a human got our magic''

Flne'' I..I will tell her, so she does not use her magic too much''

Vliney'' Yes, if something were to happen to her call, Sai, Wil or me so we can help her''

Flne'' You three can?''

Sai'' Yes, we found some old documents, that if a human were to get too much of our magic, then the human would need to be treated with a special healing magic and blood from an Arlone''

Flne'' Will that really work?''

Vliney'' I hope,  I don't want to find out, so keep an eye on her flen and the same goes for you too, Sai''

Sai'' I will, I can not let her die now''

Flen'' Same, I will keep her safe''

Vliney''good'' She gets up from her chair and looks at Wil'' Wil''

Wil'' Yes?''

Vline gives a note to Wil'' Keep this till we meet with the king''

Wil''Okay''

Vliney walks over to the door and opens it'' It was a good talk''

They'' Yes'' and they walk out.

Flne looks at the clock and sees it's seven in the evening.

Sai'' This was something''She sighs.

Flne''You don't say...''

Sai'' It will be fine''She takes his shoulder and he looks at her''How do you know that? What if she uses the magic too much?''

Sai'' I just hope, and if she start to lose control, we can use the healing and blood to help her''.

Flne'' Y..Yeah... I will be heading back to my room''

Sai''Okay, be safe and it will work out''

Flne walks off.

Sai sighs'' This shit, we really can not catch a break, I wonder if you know this could happen Line...''She looks at the neckels'' Why did you even keep Jimle under your wing? Why did you teach her your magic?, But I will never get an answer''

Flen came into his and Jimle's room.

Jimle looks up'' Welcome back''

Flne'' Thanks''

Jimle'' So how did it go?'

Flne walks up to her' I need to talk to you''

Jimle sit up 'okay? What is it?''

Flne'' Did you know the magic line teaches you could make you hurt yourself?''

Jimle''W..what''

Flne'' Looks like not...''

Jimle'' S..She would not hurt me...right?''

Flne'' No she would not, line just wanted you to be strong, and I don't think she knew about that''

Jimle start to feel anxious'' I..I can die just by using the magic...''.

Flne'' Yes, but Vliney, Wil and Sai can help if you would lose control over it''

Jimle'' They can?''

Flne'' Yes, if you get a potion that is made from an Arlone blood and some special healing magic, it hopefully stops it''

Jimle'' Hopefully, they don't know if it can'

Flne'' Well... No,but they hope they don't have to use it...''

Jimle looks at the ground'' I..I... ''

Flne looks at her'' Ji-''

Jimle'' I need sometime''She gets up and walks through the door.

Flen get up'' Hey'' he take her arm'' i c-''

Jimle looks at him'' Let go, I want to be alone for some time, okay''

Flne let go of her arm'' okay, Be safe...''

Jimle'' hmm''She walks out 

Flne hit the wall and looks down'' This shit, why can we not get some good news'' He looks at the door and sighs.

Jimle walks through the exit doors and lays her head against the door, and tears start to come from her eyes''W..Why...I..I just want to help people...i..i..''She sits against the door and puts her head on her legs''I just want to do something good in my life...then just get shit all the time...i..i..'

When footsteps come her way.

Jimle''Just leave me alone, Flen...'

''It's not him'

Jimle looks up''S..Sai'

Sai wave''Yo, looks like he told you, huh'

Jimle'' Yes''She lay her head on her legs'' I..I don't want to die by using my magic...i..i just want to protect people...'

Sai walks up to her and sits down'' I know''She takes her leg'' and you will not die by using your magic'

Jimle''How in hell do you know that...no one knows what will happen when they use that healing thing'

Sai'' I hope it will work, and I don't want to see you get yourself killed by using the magic. I will not let you die, i will be there to help if something happens'

Jimle looks up''What if i die...what if I get myself killed by the magic...I just want to help people Sai...i..i don't want to put more pain on anyone...'

Sai'' I know, and i will not let you get yourself killed, I promise that no matter what happened i will get you back alive, and you will not put pain on anyone'

Jimle''Why do you care about me? Even if we are on good terms again...I still got Line killed...i made so people down here lost more hope...'

Sai sighs'' I care about you because we are friends, even if we were on bad terms, I don't want to be it anymore. And you did not make people lose hope, you tried your best on that mission Jimle'

Jimle'' But if i-'

Sai'' No, but you did your best. That mission was a hard one'

Jimle looks at the ground'' but still the guilt from that day...for not being able to protect her... and just seeing everyone else die around me... I..I don't even know why I came back while the others did not...I did not even do anything that day... .

Sai looks at her with worry.

Jimle'' Sai, can you tell me why I come back alive...why I'm alive still...'

Sai'' W..Well...''She sighs'' You got lucky, that is why you come back. The only thing we can hope for is to get lucky when we are out and fighting the monsters'

Jimle looks at her.

Sai'' And you just gotta have to live on that is what Line would have wanted. And you are alive here and now, that is something to be proud of'

Jimle'' Sure, how can I be proud of that?'

Sai'' Well, you have fought many battles and are still standing and breathing, that is something to be proud of'

Jimle put her hands on her face and started to cry. Sai pats her shoulder'' Let it all out'

Twenty minutes later

Jimle sighs'' Thanks Sai'

She smiles''No problem'

Jimle looks at the phone'' Do you think the three are okay?'

Sai'' Yes, the human has two Arlone with him, they should be fine, and that other guy, he is not a normal Arlone''

Jimle'' Yeah, they will be fine''She put down her phone.

Sai'' Why do you care about that human either way? You don't know him'

Jimle'' He reminded me of a friend I had before I got down here. And he is the first human in a long time that is a good one'

Sai'' Okay, it looks like he is a good one. But still, you should not trust him too much Jimle. He still can do something'

Jimle'' I know, but I want to trust that he will not'

Sai sighs'' Okay, and can I ask why did you got down here?'

Jimle'' I..I.. don't want to say''She looks down.

Sai'' okay'

Jimle gets up'' Well, it's late, so I will be heading to bed'

Sai'' Okay, sleep well and I'm sorry for bringing that up'

Jimle smiled'' Thanks, and you too, and it's fine.''She walks off.

Sai walks off.

A room that has some trees, flowers and crystals.

Ulne''Okay, how dangerous is it?'

Rimy'', there are many more monsters down there, you know the dragon that comes up from the hole?'

Ulne'' was that dragon from that place?'

Rimy'' Yes'

Ulne starts to feel anxious'' H..how many of that kind are down there?'

Rimy shrugged his shoulders.

Ulne''O..Okay, will you be fine down there?'

Rimy'' Yes, I have been down there many times and I'm still alive''He sighs'' Somehow'

Ulne looks at him with worry.

Rimy sighs'' Don't worry about me, I will not die'

Ulne'' D..Do you still not care if you die or not?'

Rimy, stay quiet.

Ulne'' I-'

Rimy'' I don't want to die, however i'm tired of life...no matter how much i want to just end it, i'm scard of dying''He looks at the crystal'' I still have things i need to do before i leave this world'' He get ups and looks at Ulne'' And you need to get to the castel'

Ulne'' Yes...How is the king?'

Rimy'' He is a good person, and is ready to do everything for his people'

Ulne'' Why does he want to kill humans?'

Rimy'' One reason is that it has only come idiots down here that want to kill us all, and the other is that he has lost his family'

Ulne''O..oh...'

Rimy'' And that he promised the people that he would get us all out no matter how many years went by''Rimy looks at the flowers and puts his arms together. While Ulne looks at him.

Rimy sighs'' I will be heading to bed, you should too'

Ulne looks at him'' O..okay, and what do you mean you want to see how far I can get?'

Rimy'' just like I told you, not many humans get this far, and those that do are just lucky'

Ulne get anxious'' O..Okay...'

Rimy'' Welp, I will be heading to bed, so night''He walks off.

Ulne looks at the ground'' I hope I make it out...'' He looks at the flowers'' W..What if I die down here...'' He starts to feel anxious'' w..why did I get down here either way w..what did i...'' he takes up the book'' I got down here because i wanted to know if the stories were true and''He takes up the stone plate

Ulne looks at the plate'' the people and story are true, I will do my best to make it to the end so I can help them somehow...''He sighs'' how in hell should I even do that...'' He looks at the crystal'' I..I will find a way i hope...'' He put his stuff into his backpack and walked over to the others.

Next day

Rimy walks in front of Ulne and Lio.

Lio''Well it has really been and relaxing day, right Ulne''

Ulne does not answer.

Lio looks at Ulne'' Ulne?'

Ulne'' Y..Yes Lio?''

Lio'' Are you okay?, You look out of it?'

Ulne smile''I'm fine, don't worry, let's just get to the villages so we can rest''Ulne walks forward while Lio looks at him, and Rimy sighs.

Lio walks after''Ulne wait'

Lio'' You are no-''

Ulne'' Yes, I'm, Rimy''He looks at him.

Rimy'' What?'

Ulne'' when are we are our stop?'

Rimy looks forward'' Well, around seven hours'

Ulne'' Okay, then let's get going so we can rest''He walks off.

Lio looks at Rimy'' What have you done to him'

Rimy'' What, I have not done anything, why in hell do you think I did anything to him?'

Lio'' Because you always do something'

Rimy looks at him with anger'' Sure, blame it all on me!'' He pointed at him'' I may not be the best person in this fuck up world, however I have not done anything to him!'

Lio'' How do i know that, you fucking try to kill us before, so why would you not try something now?'

Rimy'' I did nothing, stop fucking accusing me of having done something to him'

Lio'' y-''

Ulne looks at them''Guys''

Lio and Rimy look at him'' What?'

Ulne'' Can we get going? And Rimy has not done anything, Lio'

Lio'' tsk fine''

Rimy'' I told you'

Rimy'' Okay'' He walks up to Ulne'' And yes, we can get going, let's get to our resting place'

Ulne''Hmm''

Rimy walks off when Lio comes up to Ulne.

Ulne looks at him'' He did not do anything okay'

Lio'' tsk fine, then what is wrong?'

Ulne sighs'' I just have too much in my head at the moment'

Lio'' You can talk to me about it'

Ulne'' I'm okay , I just need some time okay'

Lio sighs'' Okay''

Ulne smiles and walks off. Lio follows.

Rimy looks in front and takes out his hand''stay still'

Ulne'' What is i-''

When the ground starts to rumble and a scream runs out. Lio and Ulne put their hand on their ears while Rimy smugs and makes a knife'' Lio can you keep me safe while I take care of these monsters''

Lio'' W..wh-'

Rimy looks at him'' Can you?'

Lio ''Yes'

Rimy looks at Ulne'' You stay with Lio'

Ulne''Okay, be safe'

Rimy laughs'' I'm always'' He runs off and jumps down.  While Lio gets up to the edges and Ulne stays behind him'Will you be able to keep him safe from here?'

Lio takes up his staff and looks'' Yes, my magic can reach far'

Ulne'' okay'

An explosion comes and Ulne looks in front.

Rimy sighs'' So boring, I thought these monsters would be a little stronger' He looks around and walks over to one monster with a crystal on its back.

Rimy reaches for the crystal'' Let's see, if this work''Take the crystal, and it breaks, and the lights fade out'' Tsk, fine' When Ulne and Lio come up to him.

Ulne'' Are you okay?'

Rimy'' Yes, let's move forward''He walks off.

Lio looks at the crystal'' Wait'

Rimy stops and looks'' What?'

Lio''What did you try to do with the monster crystal?'

Rimy''Nothing ''

Lio looks at him'' Did you try to take the magic?'

Rimy looks at him with anger.

Ulne'' Y..You can take the magic?''

Lio'' Yes, the arlone can do it, however we can die from it if the magic is too much. What in hell are you up to' He walks up to Rimy.

Rimy'' I told you, nothing'

Lio'' Yes, why in hell did you try to take the magic, have that magic something to do with the under city you are going to after this?'

Rimy'' You don't need to know'

Lio''  Yes, you will do something down there'

Rimy'' I will not hurt anyone, if that makes you feel easy, just know that''He walks off.

Lio'' Hey!!'' He walks after'' Tel-'

Rimy sighs'' Can you fucking be quiet'

Lio'' No, not when you are out here trying shit'

Rimy'' I'm not trying shit, I'm only testing things'

Lio'' That is the same thing''

Rimy put his hand in his pocket'' I can tell you this, I will not do anything to hurt anyone'

Lio'' Sure, that is debatable'

Rimy walks off and Lio follows him''Hey'

Ulne looks at them and thinks'' Can we not get to the resting place faster please''He sighs'' So I can get some peace from this day'
