Our Reality ( After The Haunted FF~EDITING)

Chapter 21: Condition

( Drake's P.O.V )
We got all the firewood and everything was set up for camp. Before we lit the fire, Mia came back with her clothes and threw them in, and stomped on them repeatedly like a kid. We cooked up some food and sat around the fire. We all bandaged up our wounds and drank healing potions. Everyone was eating except for Armen. He was technically a ghost.

"So Armen, what exactly happened to you? If you remember." Mia started. He crossed his arms and looked in thought for a moment.
"Just, whiteness I guess." He answered.
"Just whiteness?" I chimed in.
"Well, it was a bit more, but it was kind of blurry. I just remembered, brown and green. And dark blue and yellow...I'm not sure what I saw." He responded disappointly.
"Maybe the brown and green was a plant? Or maybe a tree? Perhaps a swamp?" Mia questioned thoughtfully, putting her hand up to her chin.
"It looked like a tree to me." Armen added.
"The blue and green could have been the sky and the sun. What exactly did you feel? Did you hear anything?"

"I felt small and I was up in the air. I heard almost a giggle like noise. And maybe some crickets?"
"Crickets...maybe you were in a forest?" Grayson asked. Armen shrugged.
"I think so, but that's all I saw, after that, I'm here."
"For how long?" I inquired.
"Ever since you, Grayson, and Mia entered the portals." He replied. I looked over at Luke. He looked plain confused.
"So...Luke is it?" Mia started. Luke looked over at her.
"What do intent on doing now?" She asked. He shrugged.
"Can't really go back to the Empire. Not all of the mercenaries were killed, so I may become an outlaw."
"Can't you just come with us?" I piped up. Everyone turned to me.
"There is no way he's coming with us." Grayson protested annoyingly.
"Why not?" I argued.
"What if he goes back to the Emperor? If the Emperor set him up to do this?"
"But he helped us escape."
"My point exactly."
"But the Emperor would want you dead! Haven't you been on the run for years?"
"Another reason onto why he shouldn't come with us. He was the "friend" of mine that told the Emperor I was the one who stole the Dragon egg!" Grayson disagreed, narrowing his eyes.
"But he fee-" I got interrupted by Luke shooting me a glare. He probably didn't want me telling Grayson.
"Go on." Grayson urged. Luke's gaze darkened. I gulped silently.
'Who's side should I be on?' I thought. I looked at Grayson who was standing up and tapping his foot impatiently. Then at Luke who was giving me a look that told me, "Don't."

Armen was looking at me with a worrying gaze, and Mia was unsure of what to do.
"Grayson, can't you just give him a second chance?" Mia questioned suddenly. He turned over to her.
"He was the cause of my wife and son's death Mia! You should know this!" He argued, but in a less angry tone.
"At least try." She urged on. They made eye contact, and his look lightened. He turned over to Luke.
"I say trust him." Armen chimed in. We turned to him.
"And why do you think so?" Grayson asked.
"Can't you read his eyes? He seems like he would be worth trusting. Give him a chance Grayson." I turned from Armen and made eye contact with Luke. He was right. His eyes showed remorse, but also coldness. I had a feeling that it wasn't towards any of us though. He paused for about a minute before saying,

"Fine. On one condition. He doesn't come near me." Grayson conceded. Luke shrugged.
"I still don't see why most of you want me here." Luke stated, averting his eyes away from Grayson. I noticed something from the corner of my eye. I looked over and saw Armen flickering.
"Armen?" I asked, worryingly. I stood up and walked over to him. He looked down at his body and realized it aswell. The others gasped.
"Guess I'm out of mana." Armen said vaguely.
"You need mana?" Grayson asks. Armen nods.

He then starts to glow a bright yellow and transformed into a glowing creature that we saw before Aaron used a spell to make Armen a human. Once he no longer transformed, he had eyes exactly like Herobrine's except they were pale blue. He was a light spirit.
( A/N Now you know. Are your minds blown?! Dang it, I feel like that commercial on like, Disney with that 'Now you know' thing. )
"Woah, woah, woah, woah. A light spirit?!" Grayson urged.
"Wait..." I started. I grabbed Armen with my hands.
"Be right back." I stated, before quickly walking away from the area. I didn't run because of my wounds.
