𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑, Ajak was having that conversation with Zeminus. "I had a feeling you were gonna talk about this with me. I will not hear this again." Zeminus said as she walked away, Ajak following her. "We have to have this conversation either you want to or not." Ajak said, following behind Zeminus, but stopped when she snapped and turned around. "This whole conversation is biased. You know that I can't be a leader. I'm a follower. I was chosen to take care of the others while protecting the innocent." Zeminus complained and reminded. "Yes, and you have done a phenomenal job of that. But this is about the future. One day I won't be here with you. You will one day have to take my place." Ajak said, shrugging her shoulders. Zeminus sighed and shook her head. "Ajak, you know nothing will happen to you. By Deviant or anything. I love you like a sister." Zeminus said and took Ajak's hand, Ajak sent a soft smile to the girl.

Zeminus' face went cold. "But get this through yours and Arishem's head, I don't want to become a leader. I'm a fighter, a warrior. And nothing can change that." Zeminus said before she released her hold on Ajak's hand and walked away. Ajak sighed and watched Zeminus' figure disappear and out the hallway. It brought her no joy in arguing with her eternal best friend, but Ajak knew that one day Zeminus would have to face the truth.

"You and I both know they won't leave without you." Greyson said as he joined Zeminus onto the balcony. "Yeah, well maybe they should leave without me. They're just going to slow me down." Zeminus said as she looked out to the sky. "Zeminus, from what I know about the Deviants and this... this Arishem, if your going to kill all those monsters, you're gonna need all the help you can get." Greyson said looking at the Goddess with softness in his face. When Zeminus seemed to argue back, Greyson continued. "Zemini, they're your family. You know that. And I'm sure you know that they make you feel better. So, the best thing to do is... get the family back together to stop the Deviants." Greyson said making Zeminus look at him before sighing.

She nodded her head, "Okay." Zeminus said softly. "Promise?" Greyson asked and held out his pinky finger. Zeminus laughed before she connected her pinky with his. "Promise." She said, Greyson smiled at her before turning to the room. "Okay, we'll I pack up a bag and we'll be on our way." Greyson said making Zeminus confused and follow him. "No, your not coming." Zeminus said as she watched Greyson pack up. "You said that you would promise to get all the help you can get, so I'm gonna help." Greyson said before he was already packed with two bags. "And a promise is unbreakable. Now, let's go, they're waiting." Greyson said before he was already out the door and left the door to close by Zeminus. "Zeminus, you dumbass." Zeminus cursed to herself. "𝖞𝖔𝖚 𝖉𝖔𝖓'𝖙 𝖈𝖆𝖑𝖑 𝖞𝖔𝖚𝖗𝖘𝖊𝖑𝖋 𝖆 𝖉𝖚𝖒𝖇𝖆𝖘𝖘 𝖚𝖓𝖑𝖊𝖘𝖘 𝖎 𝖘𝖆𝖞 𝖎𝖙." Zeminus' 'parasite' Avalanche had spoken. "Oh, great. You know, I was really enjoying your silence until now, Avalanche." Zeminus said and closed the door before walking down the stairs.
