A few weeks had passed and Lexi's eye was already getting better. Her vision wasn't as blurry as before.
She woke up one morning and looked out her window only to find that the sky was dark gray. It wasn't raining or anything, just gray. Lexi didn't think much of it and went back to bed. After a few hours, she and Clay woke up to a loud bang. Clay rushed out of bed and looked out the window. He saw a bunch of void kumus destroying Gemstone. "Uh, Lexi! Void kumus are destroying our village!" Clay shouted slightly. As soon as Lexi heard those last six words Clay had said, she started to remember what had happened to her a very long time ago. Her parents dying, her brothers terrified face, all the blood she had saw. It was all coming back to her. Clay immediately grabbed Lexi and put her in their closet. "Stay here, I'll take care of this." Clay said as he patted Lexi on the head. "But.. I don't want you to get hurt.." Lexi said as her voice got desperate. Clay frowned. "I know you don't, but I have to protect people.. especially you. So please, stay here where it's safe." Clay said. He kissed Lexi and closed the closet door and headed outside. Lexi sat there, worried. She was trying her best not to cry, until she started to overthink bad things that could happen. Clay could get killed, she could be killed, everykumu in her village would die and the Void kumus would rule all of it. Lexi couldn't handle it anymore and started sobbing in her closet alone. After a few minutes, Lexi heard someone breaking into her house. Lexi was too scared to move so she stayed still and quiet as possible. Lexi then heard the bedroom door open. She heard the kumu hovering around the room and then making its way to the closet door. Lexi stood still, her breathing accelerated. The kumu knocked on the door before saying "is anyone in here?". Lexi hovered backwards. She wanted to reply, but was too nervous to do so. Suddenly, the closet door began to open. Lexi hovered back in fear. Then, a white void kumu with circular eyes appeared in the doorway. "Are you okay?" He said. Lexi was too afraid to speak. The void kumu could see Lexi's scared expression. He hovered over to carry Lexi. Lexi was shaking uncontrollably. "I'm Aatma, don't worry, I'll get you out of here." Aatma said in a calming voice. Lexi smiled slightly. Aatma smiled along with her and hovered out of the house. He quickly hovered through Gemstone, trying to find an exit. After a few minutes, he stumbled into Clay. "H-Hi! I'm Aatma! Do you know where an exit is to this place?" Aatma said kindly. When Clay noticed that Aatma was holding Lexi, he began to get angry. "Why do you have my girlfriend.." Clay said aggressively. Aatma backed up. "I was just trying to save her..!" Aatma said. Clay picked up Aatma by his nub and held his scythe up to him. Clays eye started to glow a rainbow. "Don't EVER touch my girlfriend.." Clay shouted. Aatma started to sob. "Please don't hurt me.." Aatma pleaded. Clay started to bring his scythe closer. "Wait!" Lexi yelled. Clay and Aatma turned to Lexi in confusion. "He was just trying to save me, please don't hurt him.." Lexi said. Clay put Aatma down. "Okay.. fine, but if he hurts you, please come to me." Clay informed. Lexi nodded. Aatma picked up Lexi. "But where is an exit?" Aatma asked. "Just go down to Apple Bridge. That'll take you to Kumu Town. And please tell the King about this!" Clay said. "Thank you! I'll bring her somewhere safe!" Aatma thanked and hovered off. As soon as he got to Kumu Town, he hovered to King Kumus castle. Aatma politely knocked on the door. "May I come in? I have something important to tell you." Aatma said. "Yes! Please do." King Kumu said from the inside. Lexi took a sigh of relief and Aatma hovered inside.
