Almira shrugged. Motioning to Hunter, she led her to a corner of the room.
“Does he know?” She asked quietly, gesturing to Hunter’s arm.
Hunter shook her head. “No. Not yet.”

Kye watched the women go to the corner of the room, but decided it wasn't his business. How long do you plan to stay here?
I don't know until the world is safe, again. Why do you care?
Why? Because I live in you, and if you die I die, I don't want that, and somehow I'm guessing that you don't either.
He shook his head and took to listening to the sounds of the cave. The voice in his head was the a spirit that resided in him. The source of his magic barriers.

(Fun!)

“If we are to continue, you have to tell him,” Almira urged.
Hunter scowled.
Order grabbed Hunter’s hand, pulling the sleeve back to reveal a twisting silver snake. It hissed at her, recognizing the aura, and Hunter pulled her shirt sleeve back down just as it darted at Almira. “You see?”

Kye's sharp ears picked up the sound of the snake hiss, and his eyes darted back to the two women who spoke quietly. He couldn't see what was going on but he knew without a doubt that what he'd heard was a hiss.

Almira sighed. “Still, after all this time.” She looked sad, and somehow more human.
Hunter felt the snake on her arm grow, and she cursed. “You fool,” she muttered to Almira as the snake started to glow, curling and enlarging itself until it was as wide as Hunter was.

Kye's eye narrowed as he watched the snake carefully. Something wasn't right here. He cleared his throat quietly. "Excuse me, I know it's not my business but, I feel like an explanation is needed," his voice was low and not actually like to be heard by the women.

Hunter heard a faint voice, but ignored it. She grabbed the tail of the snake, pulling it away from Order. She screamed something in a harsh language, and the snake froze for an instant. Just enough time for her to reach over and pinch the head. The snake shrank rapaidly, and curled back around Hunter’s arm.

Kye watched with curiosity but decided to look away. It wasn't his business and he didn't want to intrude on other people's lives, anymore than he had to.

Hunter bit her cheek, clenching her fists to keep from lashing out at Order. “And that was why I didn’t want you to do that.”
Turning, she stormed from the cave.

Kye placed his hands behind his back and looked at the ground shifting slightly from one foot to the other. "Is she okay?" he asked in a mumble.

“She’ll be fine,” Almira said, busying herself cleaning the mess the snake had made. “She’s always has slight anger issues. Nothing some alone time couldn’t cure.”

"Are you sure that's wise at the moment?" Kye sounded a bit skeptical. "There was a man that wanted her earlier. He seemed like a bit of a jerk."

Almira jerked towards him. “Who?”

"I never caught his name. I just know he was saying something about saving everyone by keeping her. He called her his princess at one point," Kye shrugged.

Almira scowled. “If it’s who I think it is, then of course he did. Did he say why?”

"He said something about me not knowing what she was capable of, and that she would kill us all.," Kye explained. "I'd be more inclined to believe that if I hadn't had billions of people try to kill me in the past."

Order snorted slightly. “He said that, did he?” She smirked slightly. “Don’t believe everything my-I mean, Koalemos says.”

"So that's his name," Kye pursed his lips. "Sounds right for someone shaking in fear over a voice and a shadow."

She snorted slightly, waving her hand, making the pieces of brick and stone fly into the corner. “Sounds about right.”

"I wasn't even doing my best, and he fell for it. Not very bright if you ask me," he glanced at the cave entrance. "I'm gonna just go make sure she's okay, and then come back, real quick."

“Good luck,” Order laughed slightly. “You’ll need it.”

Hunter stood on the edge of the cliff, digging her nails into her arm. The one that didn’t have the snake, of course. The pain helped her focus, helped her think, helped her fight back the anger that threatened to overwhelm her.

Kye stepped around the corner and stopped. He looked at Hunter from where he was. He noticed that she was still wearing his hoodie. Taking a silent breath he walked out and quietly cleared his throat to make sure she knew he was there. "Mind if I join you?" he asked softly.

Hunter bit the side of her cheek and nodded, not speaking. She stared out at the dark place, not really seeing anything.

"You okay?" he asked coming to stand by her. He kept a comfortable distance to make her feel comfortable.

“Fine,” she managed to get out.
I’m angry at that pathetic woman for not listening to me when clearly I knew what I was doing. I’m mad at my cousin for kidnapping me. And I’m absolutely furious that I have to be stuck here, stuck in this place, this hellhole, and I have to help people, when that’s clearly not me. And I wish that I could see the damn sun again, she thought.
