  Kyzeip ignored Tea and thought: “fuckup-boy on the other hand uses two all purpose pistols, but the strange thing about him is that he can use props with element crystals from distance that beyond the limits of a second tier. I’m sure he uses some special chemicals like in flash paper to cause his cards to explode from small impacted. It does make me curious as to how exactly he does it, but it doesn't benefit me in a bit as I can connect my knife from a distance with a lightning web”. Rutilius said: “fuckup-boy? who’s that”? Kyzeip replied: “he’s the magician that was messing around on the floor, he like to brag about being a thief, while denying he is still a thief, I just don’t trust him”. Tea said: “a magician, U’s have a crazy team, there's U’s a goth, a sexy rock star, a magician and wait, don't Slayer teams have 4 people, who da last one”. Kyzeip replied: “a delusion knight in armor that was sleeping in bed with Maxizz”. Rutilius said: “there was someone actually in the thing, I may be old fashioned but that lad is from another era”. Kyzeip thought: “another era is right, Rolando always speaks in medieval tone and on top of that he never takes of that armor too, but once you find out he's an earth user it makes some sense”.

  Rutilius said: “I’m sorry but why do you keep calling the element of stone by the name of the holy saints”. Tea said: “huh wat saint”? Rutilius said: “St. Earth, have you never heard of him”. Tea said: “nah dude, who he”. Rutilius said: “have you even read the Cavolet, St. Earth was a human that turned a mountain into a Utopia”. Kyzeip thought: “I don't know anything about who Earth was or even think he was real, since it's just fairy tale”. Rutilius said: “I actually have no problem with a Savage like you having no idea who St. Earth is because the holy Cavolet is for human eyes only”. Kyzeip thought: “I don't really care about that, but if you're confused as to why the element is named after the saint, I can explain”. Tea said: “U’s like a teacher bro, but a good teacher dat isn't a pedophile “. Kyzeip explained: “I think it was some time in the forties when the name was debited for having too many translations. Unlike the freeze Crystals that had other names like ice or frozen, earth Crystals had a lot more names. You called it land which is only one of plenty, depending where you were they would be called rock Crystals, stone Crystals, ground Crystals, mountain Crystals, sand Crystals and even soil Crystals. The name wasn't really established and this happened several years before Kreetons were allowed to become Slayer. In the end the name for the Crystal was named after the saint in the Cavolet for being related to the element in some way”.

  Rutilius said: “if you want to know why I can tell you, as it's one of my favourite tales from the Cavolet, it goes like this. St. Earth was just a little lad living happily in his mountain village, everyone in the village was nice, kind hearted and so was little Earth. The village unfortunately was attack by bandits one night, the bandits stole everything worth value and burn everything down to the ground. The villagers had no way of rebuilding their homes and winter was approaching, the only option they had left was to move out and find help elsewhere. Earth stayed behind, he loved his village so much he spends his life moving stones, bring dirt from the land up the mountain and lead a path from a waterfall to the village. He lived in a cave and worked even during cold and harsh weathers until he finished rebuilding his village. Years passed and the young boy was now an elderly man, the village that was thought to impossible to restore, was now alive and better than ever. The dirt Earth brought up the mountain was used to grow food and trees, the river path from the waterfall was used for collecting water and it most beautiful sight in the village.

  But as soon as Earth finished rebuilding what was once lost, more bandits came to salvage and destroy the village like what happened years ago. Suddenly a flash of light came from above and came God to Earth's aid, God created the guardian Tahnedis out of all the stone and rocks of the mountain village to stop the bandits. God blessed Earth for never giving up faith in his home, he than used his holy powers to transform the mountain into kingdom, a kingdom called Utopia. Earth became a saint shortly after, descendants of the old villagers came back to the kingdom and Tahnedis was known as the first guardian, the guardian of the land. Tahnedis title does change in the Cavolet, but it was called guardian of the land first so I wonder why the went with St. Earth instead”. Tea said: “whoa, dat was awesome, Tahnetittis sounds bitchin”.

  Kyzeip thought: “not going to lie that was an interesting story, but in the end it's only a story”. Rutilius said: “that's just shows how disrespectful a Savage like you is, you would rather be brainwashed by a devil than open up to the truth”. Kyzeip replied: “what you just said was hypocritical and wrong in three ways. First you yourself are completely biased to your own believe you automatically assume anything that goes against it is wrong, that makes you blind to the truth. Second you assumed I believed in Kreeton lore as I’m a Kreeton myself when in reality I have no faith in any religion at all, because they're all a bunch of bullshit. And lastly, I would be the last person here to be brainwashed, I question everything that does or doesn’t seem right. I’m from Skaiza, it’s a backwards planet were the only luck you have is the one you make, (Kyzeip pulled out his switchblade, but kept it close in his trench coat so it wouldn’t be seen by the any bystanders) and you make your luck by any means necessary”. Rutilius said nothing as he knew it won't be a good idea to press the subject any further.

  Tea said: “fuck bro U’s from Skaiza, dats da shits man, on a scale of one to twelfth inches, how big was life’s dick when it fucked U’s in da ass”. Kyzeip looks at Tea with a blank face not saying a word. Tea responded: “oh shit, was dat a rape joke, I’s sorry bro I’s didn't mean it dat way”. Kyzeip signed then thought: “honestly I don't know how to answer that question, living on Skaiza is the worst possible place in all of Reathdos, but there was one shining light of hope for me there. That light was my mother, my mother was raped and raised in an orphanage, but none of that ever let her down. She raised the son of her rapist when she didn’t need to, she gave that boy love when she could have abandoned him, and that boy was me. To me my mother was my saint, she was the hope that made me keep on living when I had nothing left, she helped my survival and I become Slayer after she died from a Broot”.

  Tea said: “damn dats dark bro, I’s sorry two hear”. Kyzeip thought: “don't be, you have nothing to apologize for something that can't be controlled”. Rutilius said: “Skaiza sounds to be a horrible place, back in my day all I knew of the planet was that was mostly conquered by you Kreetons at the time”. Kyzeip thought: “Skaiza isn’t just the only planet suffering, look around, do any of the citizens in this town look devastated”. Rutilius look around and noticed that the people around walked, shopped, and lived on as if there wasn’t a Broot invasion yesterday. Rutilius said: “my word everyone doesn't seem care at all to what happened, why is that”? Tea said: “it's just how is it, not nothing much good happens around here dude”. Kyzeip thought: “as a matter of fact, two thirds of all the planets are in a depression that's been going on for over forty years”.

  Rutilius said: “FORTY YEARS! how in the world did this happened”. Kyzeip thought: “two words, corporation and money. On October 2th 1624 was the day the Neo world treaty was signed between Humans and Kreeton. You properly remember when all planets had the same currency, with the Neo world treaty the currency for each planet was changed to have their own different kind of money. This new system had potential, but because it was new there were flaws and big corporations took advantage of it right away. The big corporation got away with abusing the system for thirty years, it wasn’t until August 24th 1656 when the system crashed. All of Reathdos planets were in a state of panic, all the businessmen involved in causing the disaster were quickly arrested. The government brought back the old system and took control of all the business, but the government was more corrupt than the businessman. With all the power and money in their control, they chose to separate all the planets into three classes, upper, middle, and lower”.<
br />
  “The upper class planets are mainly controlled by the corporations, they work hand in hand with the government and with the media to hide all the illegal and immoral actions that happen in the lower class planets. The middle class planets like this one primarily works hard and pays high taxes to the government, most people here can't even make ends meet. Finally, the lower class planets like Skaiza, if hell is real it would be on Skaiza, crime and violence is a daily event and yet it's only the tip of the iceberg. The taxes the middle class planets pay goes to the law enforcement in lower class planets, but instead of stopping crime the cops are encouraged to fuel it. The media demonized planets like my home to make the citizens look like monsters, because of that people in the middle class don't question the high taxes they pay and often blame people like me for the depression”.

  Rutilius said: “you're lying, there's no way the government would have become such a mess after my time”. Kyzeip thought: “here's a wakeup call, the government was always corrupt, looking back at history, those who had power were always corrupts. Even the Bandits in your fairy tale prove this, as they had power, they used it to take and destroy from the people who couldn’t fight back”. Rutilius said: “but you don’t believe in any of that, how could you use it to prove your point”. Kyzeip replied: “because you believe in it, but you don't question it, you bow your head and follow a sun god with no regrets”. Rutilius said: “how can you say that when you Savages do the same thing but follow a demon”. Tea said: “yo yo guys stops dis, I’s don’t not like dis”.

  Kyzeip thought: “shut up Tea, Ander do you really think Reathdos will be a better place if all Kreetons were gone”. Rutilius replied: “absolutely, the world would be a better place than this if you Savages were never a part of it”. Kyzeip replied: “well bad news for you, the reason the world is like this is because of you humans”. Rutilius replied: “liar, you think you know everything don’t you, all you've done is twist the facts to satisfy your own ideas”. Kyzeip thought: “maybe you're right, but how can I twist the past, Kreeton’s surrender and joined the Humans to create the Neo World treaty, but it was the Human's actions that lead to this depression”. Rutilius was shocked and didn’t have a response to what Kyzeip said. Kyzeip continued: “can you guess what happened after the treaty was signed, neither God or Tytrezz passed judgment on Reathdos, everything was fine until the corporations crashed the system because they were greedy. And guess what the government has an eleven to one ratio of Humans to Kreetons, maybe it just a coincidence that all the planets in the lower class are mostly Kreeton populated, you don't have the right to judge the world when you don’t know a thing about it”. Tea sadly said: “bro stop it, I’s don't want two see U’s fighting”.

  Rutilius and Kyzeip stopped talking to each other for the rest of the walk. Kyzeip went to order his new knifes and buy a journal along with some with a spicy cheese bread to eat as he explored the town. The sun sets and the streets darkened, everything was looking ordinary until Kyzeip looked in an alleyway and saw something he didn't think he'll see again so soon. Tea looks at the alley and said: “holy shit wat is dat”. Kyzeip thought: “you never seen this before Tea”. Rutilius said: “how could this be, I thought this only happened in the cave”. Tea said:” yo it is just like dat cave U’s showed me”.

  Kyzeip thought: “I already proved were are no longer in the dark cave, so this must be an after effect from being exposed to the dark cave”. Tea said: “I’s don't no bro, I’s seeing dis four da first time and I's never been in da cave”. Kyzeip thought: “it's possible you picked up this effect when you entered my dream. Then again we are talking to each other telepathically so our mind must be connecting in a way that lets you both see what I see”. Rutilius said: “that still doesn't explain way we can see the white highlights in the alley”. Kyzeip thought: “when we left the dark cave it was sunrise, I think we kept the ability to see what's hidden in complete darkness, I’m going to try something”. Kyzeip takes out his sunglasses and puts them on. Tea says:” nice shades bro, but its night time, U’s going two look like a douche”.

  Kyzeip said: “now this is interesting, I can see a lot more stuff highlighted in white, this must be some kind of reverse blindness”. Rutilius said: “reverse blindness, now you're just making stuff up as you go”. Kyzeip replied: “no this brings back a point, the first thing I tried to do in the dark was natural to light it up. But even with my phone and lightning Crystal I couldn't even get a spark. There's definitely more to the dark cave than I first thought, one way to find out is go back there”. Rutilius said: “you don't mean you're all the way back to that spot”. Kyzeip nodded and headed out to where the tree of death burned to ashes. Tea started to shiver in fear as he saw how terrifying the terrain looked at night with the edges highlighted in white. Tea said: “yo U’s not scared, dis place is whacked, I’s a scared”. Rutilius said: “after spending over seventy years in this scenery I don't see it to be that terrifying”. Kyzeip said: “I witness worse sights than this before, and one of those sights was walking in on Rolando in the shower by incident”. Tea said: “he da one dat wears da armor suit right”. Kyzeip replied: “yes and the only part of his body that had armor when he was in the shower was his head, and nothing else”. Tea replied: “dats rough, bro”. Rutilius said: “hey Savage, I know you don't believe in anything religion, but speak of the devil and he shall appear in a mysterious way”. Rutilius than points ahead, Kyzeip looks and see Rolando’s suit of armor standing on the ash circle. Kyzeip said: “what the fuck, ROLANDO IS THAT YOU”! the suit of armor turns to face Kyzeip, it was indeed Rolando's armor but in the eye shocked was glowing. Kyzeip stops walking and pulls out his knife, Rolando started to walk towards Kyzeip, he pulled out his sword and charges to Kyzeip ready to strike.

  Chapter 10: A Knight to remember

  Rolando swings his sword at Kyzeip, but Kyzeip jumps back dodging the attack. Kyzeip than said: “Rolando it that really you in there”. Rolando said: “foul demon, you shall die tonight”. Rolando swings again at the ground causing spikes of dirt to rise under Kyzeip’s feet, Kyzeip rolled to the side and ran around Rolando. Tea said: “bro why R U’s and your friend fighting, I’s don’t not like dis”. Kyzeip thought: “something's not right, it sounds like Rolando’s voice, but this nothing like how Rolando fights, and I never said anything about him being my friend”. Kyzeip throws his knife at Rolando’s hand, but Rolando blocked it with his sword. Rutilius says words to motivate Rolando to kill Kyzeip. Tea says to Rutilius: “da fuck dude, wat do U’s think U’s doing”. Rutilius said: “cheering on the Kreeton that will end the Savage’s life”. Tea said: “oh no U’s not doing dat with me’s here”. Tea swing his arm punching Rutilius right in the in the face, Rutilius floats off with his hand on his cheek. Rutilius said: “you punched me, I'm a ghost and you punched me”. Tea said: “yes, and I's going two do it again”. Off to the side of Kyzeip and Rolando’s fight, Tea and Rutilius started to have a braw of their own. Kyzeip sees Tea and Rutilius fighting and it distracted him from Rolando for a second. In that second of distraction, Rolando jumped towards Kyzeip and slashed him from the front. Kyzeip jumps back at the last possible moment to barely dodge Rolando’s attack. Kyzeip grabs Rolando’s arm and tries to make him drop his sword. Rolando overpowers Kyzeip and punches him so hard he was knocked back several feet. Rolando lifts up his sword and struck down on to were Kyzeip was sitting, Kyzeip quickly got up and kept on dodging Rolando's attacks. Kyzeip said: “Rolando is that really you in there, I know you're not the type of person that will kill over a grudge”. Rolando spoke: “silence Savage as I separated thy head from thy body”. Kyzeip said: “just perfect, I really needed I second asshole Ander in my life”.

  Meanwhile Tea and Rutilius were still fighting each other. Tea got the upper hand and he used that upper hand to bitchslap Rutilius right in the face while saying: “take dat bitch, U’s no U’s like it”. Kyzeip thought to Tea: “ignore him, I need your help with Rolando, try and see
if you can punch him”. Tea replied: “U’s got it bro”. Tea let's go of Rutilius and starts moving towards Rolando, Tea swings his arm and Rolando tries to block his punch with his sword. To both surprise Tea ended up going right thru Rolando’s body. Kyzeip yelled out: “great job, very fucking useful”. Tea replied: “no no, I's can do better”. Tea floats in front of Rolando, it was clear whatever Tea’s plan was he had completely forgotten it. Tea just stood in front of Rolando panicking on what to do, he decides to do the first thing that came to his mind and it was to motorboat Rolando's chest. Rutilius saw Tea and bowed his head and shame. Rolando rightfully confused about the situation let his guard down. Kyzeip quickly came in and pulled Rolando's sword from him and threw it away. Rolando was not happy, he ignored Tea and went head first at Kyzeip. Kyzeip touched Ronaldo with his glove and send out a voltage that stunned Rolando from moving.
