phoenix got up from the snowy ground as he glared darkly at the masked man before him, his fists clutched up as he growled

'why are you here?!'

pearl flinched a little bit at his words, ...she's never heard mr nick talk like that, ...so terrifying and intimidating, ..nothing like the caring, father figure she knew

'The entrance to the Sacred Cavern looks like a freaking puzzle workshop, ...But it's all a waste of time, Because Maya Fey isn't coming back-'

'I dare you, I DARE YOU to say that again!!, let's just see what happens next!!'

godot frowned as he glared at him back through his mask,

'hmph alright then, how about this!!, It was your job to protect her, Trite. Just like it was your job to protect Mia Fey,... Two sisters, caught up in the worst circumstances!'

'YOU-'

'And you were the only one who was by their sides. You were the only one who could have saved them, like your cousin-'

'DO YOU DARE BRING HER INTO THIS!!, I COULDN'T HAVE KNOWN WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!'

'Ha...! What did I just say, Trite? Being oblivious is a heinous crime in itself'

he spat out, then got real close to his face

'Tomorrow... We'll settle everything in court tomorrow. ...Once and for all'

phoenix grabbed him by his collar shirt, growling into his face

'i'll crush you into pieces!!!, i don't lose fights!!'

he tossed him back, godot humped as he just walked off, ..their was silence for a very long moment, until pearls voice spoke up

'M-Mr. Nick... Is... Is what that man just said true?'

phoenix took in a deep breathe, looking back down at pearl as he shook his head, keeping down his own panic and stress

'no, that man is very wrong, mystic maya is alive, and we'll save her, you'll see for yourself, i promised didn't i?, to always protect you and and her?'

pearl took that in, then smiled a little, ..mr nick always saved mystic maya, he'll do it again, she could trust him with anything

'Yeah! I know I can trust you, Mr. Nick!!'

he grimaced as he gently took her hand, and leaded her back to the train station, when larry tried to put a hand on his shoulder, he slapped it away, ...he didn't want to be comforted, ...he wanted violet back



"..don't let him get to you!!, your stronger then that!!"

"what if it is my fault?!, w-what if i really did lead maya to her death?!-"

"no snap out of it, your not thinking clearly"

"no!!, ..it is your fault"

"no it's not-"

"your cousin died because you failed to help her!!"

"i-i was only sixteen, i couldn't do anything-"

"and then you let mia die too"

"...i-i couldn't have known-"

"no, but it was just your job to watch and protect maya, and now, she may already be dea-"
