Tyler is alone in the city of Dema. He can't remember who he was before then. All he knows now is trying to survive in this world. He sees others around him who are struggling too, and he wants to help them. But he can't. He can't even seem to help...
Finally Tyler has something to really distract himself. But not in a good way. His eyes are immediately drawn to the man seated on the floor in the middle of the circle of bishops.
Memories crash through his mind when he sees what he's wearing.
Of Josh. Of...of the banditøs. The rebels.
For a few terrible seconds he sees enough similarities between this man and his best fren that he believes that it's Josh right there.
But it's not.
Tyler takes a closer look at him and can't help but feeling relieved.
No, it isn't Josh.
But...this man is definitely a banditø. He's wearing their color. Yellow.
Suddenly Tyler is afraid, very, very afraid. He thinks he might know why this man is here. Why he is here.
Nico pushes him forwards and Tyler startles, caught off guard by his touch.
"Do you know who this is?" Nico asks in a thin, raspy voice.
Tyler shakes his head. And he doesn't want to know, either.
"Very well, child, very well," Nico says.
Tyler frowns. He's definitely not a child. For a moment fear grips him again, but for a completely new reason. He can't rememember his own age.
The more he thinks about it the less he's certain about. He...he doesn't even remember what his last name is. Or Josh's, for that matter.
He doesn't get the chance to give the matter any more thought.
Because Nico speaks once more.
"This man's name is Clancy."
Why does Tyler know that name? He's sure it has something to do with the life he had before, but he can't think of how or what or why.
"Do you know why he's here?" Nico asks.
Tyler shakes his head.
It's hard to tell because Tyler can't see most of Nico's face, but it looks like the bishop might be smiling.
That thought alone makes him shiver.
"Don't worry," Nico says, sounding almost amused. "I'll tell you."
[Oh no! That can't be good! Here, have a picture of Josh holding a cat. It's quite cute.]

Who is Clancy? (And I don't mean, who is Clancy, I mean, who is Clancy in this situation?)
