Pyra POV

I looked down at the necklace Kai gave me, its soft blue glow illuminating a little of the area around me. 

Pyra: Thank you Kai, this way I always have you with me.

Mythra: How are we going to work this? 

That was a little confusing, and unexpected.

Pyra: What do you mean?

Mythra: The necklace, he gave it to you, not me, so what do I do with it when I’m in control?

Pyra: It’s an ether crystal, so it should disappear like the other crystals I wear. 

She seemed assured by that.

Pyra: Why? Don’t you like it?

Mythra was silent, likely because she did, but because of the way she is, did not want to admit it. 

Kai: You guys ready for this? They’re right around the corner.

Nia peeked around the cave wall for a split second

Nia: So what's the plan? Looks like there's quite a few of 'em, and they have Blades too.

Rex: No time for complicated plans. Don't worry... they'll be no match for us!

Kai shook his head.

Pyra: Rex… 

Nia: I knew you'd say that. But hey, I'm not saying you're wrong!

Rex: Just remember, we're not here to kill anyone, so mind you don't go overboard.

Tora: Was Rex-Rex not going to avenge village?

Rex: There's more than one way to do that, right?

Nia: Well, if you say so.

Pyra: Understood.

Kai: Let’s kick some ass. 

Rex: Right. Let's go!

We charged in

Rex: All of you put down your weapons! You're not going to harm that city!

Bandit: Who the hell are you punks? We ain't got time for a bunch of kids!

Other Bandit: Hold it! They're Drivers and Blades! Now I get it... The city hired you, huh?!

Rex: What d'you think?

Other Bandit: Bah! How'd you find out about… Whatever. Hey, lads! Let's slaughter these brats! We'll make an example of 'em!

Bandit/Other Other Bandit: Yeah!

I looked at Rex, he seemed determined, he didn’t plan on losing. 

Pyra: I hope we’re ready, we may win these battles, but what about the battles ahead.

I touched the necklace, and Kai looked at me, his piercing blue eyes meeting mine. 

Pyra: Kai…

Mythra: You are such a lovesick puppy.

Pyra: Like you were for Addam?

Mythra once again was silent, I think Kai’s sarcastic, light-hearted, demeanor is rubbing off on me, there’s no way I would have retorted if I hadn’t met him. 

Kai: Let's go!

The conflict ensued, and I was brought back to reality by a bandit sneaking up on Rex.
