“Well, honestly I’m not really sure if I believe it all myself. The legends say that Deviros was once a malevolent god who had once rampaged the Earth, until Natalia, a young priestess tried to calm him. Deviros fell in love with Natalia and Natalia returned his feelings. It wasn’t long before six children were born out of their love. Their children could freely change back and forth between their human form. They were the first dramans. Although as time passed and Natalia grew old, Deviros decided that he wanted to give his godly powers (which could be shadow powers if you like) to his children. There was one problem with that: he could only give his powers to three of his children. This led Deviros’s children wage war against one another. Fire fought ice. Thunder fought water. Earth opposed plant. Deviros was so displeased with his children, he swore that none of them would receive his powers. And the legends claim that Deviros is still out there, searching for one descent to give all of his power to. And millennia later, we are still fighting to earn Deviros’s power or at least that what the few dramans who support the arena say.”

"God is the only god," Rvan countered (Not fiercely or anything, but stern), "And I don't get the point of the arena. We're just slaved into entertainment."

Skylar eyed, Rvan with eyebrows raised. “You should be careful saying that out in the open, Rvan. The Council hates Christians and they will make your life miserable if you are that open about your faith.”

"It's freedom of speech," Rvan said quietly, but stern once more. He looked from the statues to Skylar, shy still still but firm. Then he gave a small smile, "Thanks for taking me… around."

Skylar smiled at Rvan. Turns out the he did have backbone after all. Although, her expression darkened when she remembered the last thing she wanted to tell him. “Rvan, there’s one more thing you need to know.”

Rvan saw her expression go back to intimidating and instantly felt embarrassed for talking.

“Historically, the fire elemental team has been the most competitive and cutthroat. Draco has seemed to follow that trend. Although, he’s not just working with his protégés to win, but also the council. Draco’s got enough money to keep the Council’s favor. He got the Council to to allow Nula to join there team and I am positive he will make the Council vote to have you adding to the fire team. So just be aware, Rvan, Draco could be using you.”

Rvan opened his mouth to object, but found he didn't even know. He had only entered this world of backstabbing and slavery three days ago. And he didn't know the fire clan. Rvan felt hurt, the shadow of the statues growing slightly darker in response. He looked up, back to Skylar, "W-What do I do?" His voice quivered silently, fear of the whole world crashing down on top of him again coming back and-

“Rvan?!” Thalia called from behind Rvan. “Oh goodness for a minute I thought we lost you…” Thalia stopped walking towards Rvan when she realized who he was standing next to.

Skylar eyed Thalia. “Long time no see, friend.”

Thalia’s hands curled into fists and her lips flattened into a strait line. “I’m not your friend.”

“No. You are right. I never be friends with a dramans who lets her emotions burn innocents to ashes.” Skylar snarled. “Be careful around this b***tch, Rvan.” And then, Skylar walked off.

Rvan flipping paled and turned into a half shadow out of pure instinct, "You two know each other?" He asked quietly and shakily, and suddenly reconsidering how much he should trust Thalia.

/It started with a whisper
And that was when I kissed her
Everybody talks, to much)
I'm musica currently, so I be a quotin')
Even songs you/I don't like))

//Riptide
I was scared of dentists and the dark
I was scared of pretty girls and starting conversations
AAAAAOOOOOOWWWWooooa, and they come unstuck
Running down to the riptide
I love you, when you're singing that song
And I got a lump in my throat
Cause you’re gonna get the words wrong///

Thalia looked at Rvan. There was an intense rage burning in her eyes. “She and her mother they sent my parents to jail.”

The shadows of the statues grew behind him and his half shadow form became less dense (so more shadowy and transparent), "L-Let's get back,” He mumbled and nearly ran a good distance around Thalia to walk back towards the market, away from the scene entirely. No one noticed how Deviro's statue's shadow was the largest and darkest.
