Kai POV

We had walked for a bit, then I heard sounds of a conflict

Rex: What’s that sound?

Pyra: I feel a ripple in the ether. It feels like a Driver is using a Blade in battle. I’m certain of it!

Rex: Let’s go!

Pyra: OK!

We came up on Nia and Dromarch fighting a something.

Kai: My God I need a biology book for this place.

Dromarch: My lady, leave this to me!

Nia: I’m not just going to abandon you, Dromarch!

Rex: We’re here to help, Nia.

Nia: Rex?! What’re you doing here

Dromarch: My lady, now’s our chance! Let’s attack!

Nia: Alright, then!

They all charged at the whatever the hell it was, and quickly bested it.

Nia: So why are you guys even... Well, I guess that's a stupid question.

Dromarch: Indeed.

Rex: Seriously, it's good to see you. And you're all right.

Nia: Right back at you. Hey, by the way. What happened to the big guy who saved us? The Titan?

Azurda: Are you talking about me?

Nia: Wait, what? How?

Rex: That's sort of a long story.
Let's get somewhere we can rest. I'll tell you all about it then.

Dromarch: That seems prudent. My lady?

Nia: Sure. Lead the way.

Kai: Woo! More forest trudging!

We walked through the forest until we reached a small clearing.

Nia: I see. So you two are off to Elysium. Listen, I never thanked you properly. For saving us, I mean. Dromarch said that you... carried us all the way here.

Dromarch: We owe you our lives, Titan.

Azurda: No need to thank me. After all, you were the ones who saved Rex.

Nia: Don't mention it. So you Titans can regenerate. Pretty handy.

Azurda: This isn't something just any old Titan ca-

Rex: You can retire that line now.

Azurda: Excuse me?! I'd like less of that attitude! If you had listened to me and declined that reckless job to begin with, we wouldn't be in this mess! "Take a nap" you said, like I was some kind of doddery old man...

Kai: *snickers*

Rex: Okay, okay, I get it! I'm a terrible disappointment. Look how sorry I am!

Azurda: Can you not muster even a shred of sincere remorse?

Rex: Sorry, but I can't.

Azurda: What?

Rex: If I hadn't taken the job, they'd have got their hands on Pyra.

Pyra: Rex…

Kai: Aww... I'm only slightly jealous...

Rex: I couldn't let that happen. No way. They can never take her.

Azurda: ...

We set up camp, built a fire, you know, campy things. But Pyra was still awake then Gramps spoke.
