"Why are we doing this again?"
Mynx rolled her eyes and lightly kicked Balto's leg, causing the spirit guardian to huff,
"Because I have something to give back to him,"
William smirked,
"Which meant you needed to invite me?"
Mynx deadpanned at William,
"You literally came up to me and asked to join. And Yami did too,"
Yami grumbled,
"I was dragged along,"
Mynx laughed,
"Yeah, okay,"
Balto nodded to Mynx and glanced at Yami,
"Yami! I wanted to speak to you,"
"About?"
"Just get over here,"
Yami rolled his eyes as he grunted. He sighed,
"Fine. Can't believe I'm listening to a spirit wolf,"
Mynx and William laughed as they saw the two leave. William glanced at Mynx,
"So, what did you want to talk about?"
Mynx gasped,
"Why would you think-"
William deadpanned at her and Mynx sighed. She patted a stone ledge for him to sit. As they settled side by side, she glanced at him, her expression serious.
"Something is different with you. What's wrong?"
William tilted his head in confusion,
"Hm? Nothing is,"
Mynx gave him a look,
"Will. I have known you since you were fifteen. I know I was gone for six years...but I still know you. Your aura is different,"
William frowned,
"My aura?"
Mynx nodded,
"Yeah. I'm not sure how to explain it. But, something is weighing you down, Will. I want to help you. Please tell me what's wrong,"
William sighed and wrapped his arms around his knees as he brought them to his chest,
"I can't."
Her gaze softened, and she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Why not?"
William looked down,
"You won't forgive me,"
Mynx frowned, her grip on his shoulder tightening.
"Will. What happened?"
William sighed and looked at her,
"You promise not to get mad?"
Mynx nodded,
"I solemnly swear upon the moon,"
William smiled softly and took off his mask,
"Something happened when you left,"
Mynx nodded for him to continue.
"All of a sudden, there was another voice in my head. His name is Patri. He's an elf...and he's the...he's trying to help his kind.
Mynx blinked, her brow furrowing as she listened intently
