Author's note - Welcome to Year Two of the Storm Wars Lore!
---------------------------------------------------------------------

"Julian gasped as Holt slammed his back into a wall, wrapping his hands tightly around his neck"

Holt
(Yelling) YOU KILLED THEM!

Julian
(Through gritted teeth) I...don't know..what you're talking about...

"Darius and Max rushed over, desperately pulling on Holt's arm. Holt grunts as they slowly pull his arm off of Julian's neck. Julian doubles over to catch his breath as Holt screams at the top of his lungs, desperately trying to escape Darius's and Max's grip. Darius and Max grunt as they struggle to get Holt under control"

Darius
Holt, buddy! What's wrong?!

Holt
He killed my parents!!

Julian
What?!

Darius
Your parents died when he was still a toddler!

Holt
HE HAS THE NECKLACE!

"The room froze as Darius and Max let go off Holt's arms in shock. Julian looked at Holt with caution, breathing heavily. Jessica watched in the distance"

Max
He what?

Holt
He (Points at Julian)...he has a necklace.

Darius
No, Julian, tell me it ain't true.

Jessica
(Looking between Holt and Julian) What is so important about this god damn necklace?!

Julian
What? No, I do NOT have a necklace! There's only one person the world who has it and that is the winner of the Storm Wars!

"Holt attempts to lunge forward again but Darius and Max manage to catch him and stop him in his tracks"

Holt
Stop lying!

Darius
Holt! How do you know he has a necklace?

Holt
(Snatches his arm out of their grasp) Because I saw it.

Darius
Saw it where?!

Holt
(Staring at Julian angrily, panting) So that was your plan huh? Keep the necklace to yourself? Take us on this goose chase? And then at the end act like you found the Storm Wars winner when in reality the necklace has been in your goddamn pocket the entire time?!

Julian
Holt! You're supposed to be my right hand man! You're letting your emotions get the best of you! You need to calm down!

Holt
Calm down for what?!

Julian
(Shouting) Because there's more important shit to worry about right now!

Holt
Look at the screen, Julian! We're dead either way!

Darius
Holt. How do you know that he has a necklace?

Holt
Because I saw it!

Julian
Saw it where?!

Jessica
(Walking over and putting her hand on Holt's back) When he passed out. He must've had a dream or a vision or something.

Holt
It was real!

Julian
It was a dream, Holt. Get it together.

Holt
(Doubling over to catch his breath) Man, it felt so real.

Julian
I don't know what gotten into you Holt. But this isn't the real you. Tighten up.

Holt
(Looking up at him in disgust) You don't know the real me.
