During the walk there was this awkward silence, everything seemed tense now. Travis ended up coming with us, but he was silent too. I glanced down at him for a second, he was just looking at the ground nervously. Tom really shouldn't have given away my old title, knowing that the tension was just from my presence after all. Looking over at Matt our eyes lock for a second before he quickly glanced away, I can't do this.

"Guys.. This silence.." I muttered, sighing. That's when Travis spoke up. "Your army killed my dad.." He was quiet, hurt and malice in his voice. I sighed once again. Glancing down at the ground and messing with the zipper on my trench coat. "..Yeah, but if it was my army it wasn't directly me." I stated, glancing down at the dane, then the kid suddenly snapped, tearing up. "LIAR, you control your army and your army murdered the only parent I had left.!"

I flinched, narrowing my eyes slightly, I almost snapped back before realizing that this was just a kid, a danish kid who seemed to hate my army. "Do you have any other parents, Trev..?" Travis looked away and put his hands into his uniform pockets. "Tord, we can talk about this later.." Matt budded in, sighing. "You're also quiet.. Is it the leader thing too..?" "No, it's about everything thing else.. You know I don't blame you for that."

Silence.. What? He didn't blame me? Why? I shot the ginger a confused look and he shrugged like this was normal, who am I kidding, none of this is normal. We are in an underground city for fuck sakes. "What do you mean by that, Aren't I the reason all of this exists?" I questioned, waving my hands out to refer to the city. "..You realize your army wasn't the only threat to people, right?"

I took a second to think about it, have I really been this so self-centered that I hadn't realized this? What other armies were there? I mean none of them attacked mine, maybe it was because mine was just the biggest. I guess I wasn't the only one that wanted to rule the world. "There were three armies that openly attacked us or the people." The ginger added. Pausing, my eye widened. "Excuse me??" I mumbled. "..Matts right, you know.." Travis spoke up, glancing at me for once, I couldn't help but realize I just didn't think there were other people involved in this war, I had a few questions now.

"What other armies were there?" I questioned to which Matt shrugged. "I wasn't allowed to know the exact intel I just know Tom was freaking out about it a while back, but honestly we took in a few of the leaders when their armies were slaughtered by the Black one." I tilted my head in slight confusion, yet that made sense in a way since I was currently here and my army was slaughtered. Yet why would the Jehovahs witness willingly bring in enemies at all, I don't remember him exactly caring about awful people unless he just couldn't stand the violence, even with people he hated. "Do you know any of the leaders Tom picked up? I'd like to have a word with any if possible." The ginger shrugged again. "I know only one, I think his name was Darel? He lost a hand or something, I happened to be in the infirmary at the time of Tom bringing him in, he might be Irish he had a rather thick accent." He mumbled, before adding. "But we need to get to Edd before we do anything else, he won't be happy if we don't tell him about your presence.. Even though he never seems to be happy with anything anymore." Matt frowned sadly, seems like Tom wasn't the only one upset about the change in the brunette's behavior yet, I haven't even experienced the change but I already know I may not like him if he's a prick to the two other brits.

It was a few minutes of silence later and we were still walking. However, at one point something weird started to happen around us, but for some reason, Matt seemed completely oblivious to it. But what was it exactly? a dusky void forming around the corners of my eyes to be exact.. Was I hallucinating? My vision was closing off, panic started to fill me as I tried to alert Matt.. ".H-help.." But nothing came out, my vision completely blackened and I was now in a familiar voided space.
