-Where did we leave off again? Oh, right. HERE.-

*ring ring*

-Hello? Oh, hi, Drama~Llama!-

*Drama~Llama Talking*

-OMG, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA! But they, *glares at readers* are gonna wanna kill me!-

*Drama~Llama convincing*

-Eh, I don't really care anymore, I'll just go back into the shelter, OH! Ahem, right, anyway:-

Garroth's PoV

I held my weapons, a golden lasso in my inventory carrying Aphmau's body, and Azura was at my side. We headed in, careful and quietly.

I glanced around the place, and I nearly screamed. There it was, the soul chamber, perhaps even the one that contained Aphmau's soul. Unguarded... Traps. I searched around the place for a sign.

"It's surrounded by a pool of lava," Azura whispered. "And there's lasers."

"How can you tell?" I whispered back.

"See that?" She pointed to a random spot on the wall. "Look closely, there are teeny little gray bits," (gray, grey, whatever, I live in #MURICA so I spell it with an A.)

I looked closely, and sure enough, there were tiny gray stubs on the wall, perfectly aligned so that no one could pass without hitting an alarm. "How do you get past?"

"HELLO, YOU TWO." Behind the dais that held the chamber, stepped none other than the brother of my trusted guard and friend. Gene snatched the chamber, and held it up to show to us. It was now an eerie shade of gray that reminded me of the light that had engulfed my beloved. I could swear I could hear her screams in my head.

I charged. Azura stayed there and battled Sasha, who came from the shadows, and we fought till...

"HAH!" I knocked the soul chamber out of Gene's hand, only to lose my victorious look when it slid nearly inches away from the deep trench that held lava. I reached for the small gem, my hand almost touching it, when Gene pulled my foot, and we both tried to strangle each other on the ground. Sasha and Azura were fighting to the death, and Sasha now layer as a rag doll on the ground, while Azura laid there breathing heavily, scars and wounds spread across her body. The chamber stood millimeters away from the trench. Gene let go, and pushed me. I grabbed the gem, only to slide off into the trench, and I was sure I'd fall to my death.

And Azura caught me. She pulled me by the foot, not daring to let go.

"You.. Okay?" She panted once she pulled me up.

"I'm fine. You?"

"We... Need... Get... Aph.. M-" she passed out. I don't think she's fought this much, this hard, plus pulling a grown man out of a deathly lava trench.

RAISIN, RAISIN, RAISIN, RAAAAAIIIIISSSSIIINNNN! *quartet style* RAISINS!!!!

AND NOW I COMMAND: LOVE MEEEE!!!!!!!!

-Back in Phoenix Drop-

I laid Aphmau on the bed, and took out the soul chamber and laid it beside her, letting it do its thing.

The expectant mother's eyes slowly opened, then filled with tears as she saw who sat beside her. "GARROTH, YOU- I- THEY.. THEY TORTURED ME, AND HELD ME FOR SO LONG!" She started sobbing in my arms."HOW- DID- YOU.." She gasped for breath between her sobs. "YOU- DID- IT- FOR- HOW DID YOU- DO IT?" She buried her face, and my tears flooded down my face as I witnessed what it'd done to her.

"I.. I thought of my princess.." I silently cried as I held her in my arms.

"They tortured me... Th-they s-said that th-they w-were g-going to k-kill you if I d-didn't tell them m-my secret... I-I didn't know- w-what they were t-talking ab-bout, and- and they.. They showed me... It was a vision,- and- th-they.. They tortured you- a-al-long side m-me, and.." She couldn't go on.

"Can you stand up?" I asked softly.

"I-I- Th-Think so.." She carefully stood up, and her legs wobbled, and I caught her. She held onto my arms as she carefully walked around the room. "I missed Phoenix Drop.." Her voice was fragile and weak, and lacked all the happiness it once held.

"Aphmau?" A gentle voice asked. Laurance appeared at the door, armor and weapons gone, with his arms wide open in an invitation to a hug. Aphmau walked over, still clutching my arm for support, and hugged Laurance as he smiled sadly. "What has that thing done to you?" He murmured once he broke away from the hug.

"I-I'm s-sure I can rec-cover.." She stepped over to sit on the bed, by herself this time, but it looked like every step hurt, because she made small whimpering sounds every time she stepped.

"Hey.. Better get your rest, me and Laurance are gonna let you be, I mean, everyone's gonna want to visit you tomorrow, right?" I smiled at her, and she made an attempt to smile back.

"G-Garroth?"

"Yeah?"

"S-stay with m-me?"

"I'll be fine on my own, bro." Laurance patted me on the back, and I walked over to Aphmau.

"Yeah, I'll stay with you.." We laid on the bed, side by side, her head on my chest, and my hand on her belly.

"I almost forgot about that.." Aphmau put her hand on mine. "How long was I out?"

"Weeks.. Maybe a month or two?"

"Mm..." she cuddled up closer, I wrapped my arms around her, and we seemed to grasp each other like a lifeline.

"I love you princess.." I kissed her head, and I could feel her tears land on my chest as she snuggled up in my arms.
