Travis, Aphmau, Liochant and I stand in Travis's little keep as we continue to talk.
"Enki?" Travis questions.
"You're his descendant." Aph reminds him.
"Yes, but I'm not him. Sorry Aphmau, but you're wasting your time here."
"We're looking to reform the Divine Warriors." Aphmau announces.
"Well, that's not something you hear every day."
"We found out that the only people capable of wielding the relics are bloodline descendants of the original Divine Warriors." Aph states.
"And... You think I have something of Enki's." Travis asks.
"Yes."
"Sorry, I want to but I don't think I can help you." Travis explains.
"Travis, I need you. Shad is back." Aphmau replies.
"SHAD?!? How is that possible?"
"I don't know but he is. And he's after Alina." Aphmau says, determined to find answers.
"Aphmau... Aphmau even if I wanted to help, I don't have Enki's relic."
"Are you kidding me...?" I mutter, realising something. I slap my forehead with my palm lightly.
"Oh no..." Travis says, realising too.
"What?" Aphmau questions, looking at both Travis and me. "What is it?'
"If the relics are passed down through descendants of the magi... And I don't have the relic. I think I know who does."
Aphmau gasps, "No."
"Yes. If you really want my help. We're going to have to kill my father." Travis explains.
"Is that even possible?" Aphmau asks.
"I think so." Travis replies.
"Trust me. I'll find a way." I state, thinking about all the times he's hurt me or my friends with his imps.
"Uh... I'm rather lost here." Liochant confesses, stepping forward.
"My father is the Demon Warlock. And if we want any chance at getting Enki's relic, we'll need to kill him." Travis states.
"Kill your father?" Aphmau questions. "What are you talking about?"
"He's not my father. I've never had a father." Travis explains, "He's the Demon Warlock."
"I know Travis, but..." Aph continues.
"Aphmau. Can I... Talk to you, in private." Travis explains.
"Travis?" Aphmau looks at him, puzzled.
"This is something I want to share with just you." Travis says. He then turns to face Liochant as if to explain himself, "Nothing against you bud, we just met and this is a long story. And a more personal one at that. You seem like a nice guy and if Aphmau likes you, you must be okay... But I'm just not comfortable sharing this with people I just met."
"You don't need to explain Travis, I understand." Aphmau replies. "Liochant, I'm sorry, but Travis and I need to talk alone for a bit. Do you mind waiting here?"
"Of course not, Lady Aphmau? I'll be here if you need anything." Liochant smiles.
"Thank you, Liochant, we shouldn't be too long." Aphmau explains.
I look at the others blankly and laugh quietly, muttering, "Do I not exist to you people anymore...?"
"Ah! Anna. I forgot you were here..." Travis laughs.
