"Ok Kira, tell me about yourself so I can understand why your here" Rythian said "I already told you I want to meet all of the members of the Yogsville" I said to him. "But I have been living in a castle in the cloud lands with my father, Ridgedog. After my mother died he went mad, that's when he became evil...but this is the first I've been allowed out. I stayed with Duncan when I first came" when I mentioned Duncan I saw him flinch "I met Lewis and Simon, Lewis hates me, may I add, then went to live with Sips and Sjin, though their life style wasnt fitting, I met Minty." He flinched again when I said Sjin. "Then I came to you, and here I am" I finished. "Well...do you plan on being harmful or cause damage in any way?" He asked. "I don't plan on it..." I answered. "I think I can trust you...something about you is different" he said and then mumbled something about a reflection.

When Zoey came back in, she sat down next to Rythian and looked at me, "why do you wear gloves? It's the middle of the summer" she said. I looked about franticly trying to come up with an excuse when Rythian said, "Zoey, don't question people on what they wear, they are probably comfortable, like my mask" he said, "yeah" I agreed sighing with relief. "Oh, sorry!" She apologized "it's ok," I smiled at her. "Well, lets show her where she's going to be staying." He said "so that means I'm staying?" I asked, "yup" was the only response I got as he walked up the stairs to the second floor, I saw a bedroom with a big bed in the middle, this was obviously their room. Then we reached a small guest room, "here you go! Our room is right there down the hall!" Zoey said pointing. "Here, let me help you unpack!" She smiled "I'll just wait for you girls downstairs" Rythian said walking back down. "It's ok Zoey, I can unpack, I don't have much," I said "nonsense! Let me help!" She laughed. I could tell why Rythian liked her, she was bright and brought fun to everything, she just radiated happiness. "Fine" I said smiling. We pulled some clothes out of the bag, then a brush and toiletries. "What's this?" She asked as she pulled out the white box, quickly I grabbed the box from her hands, "oh it's nothing," I said putting it aside on the table. She shrugged but didn't ask. Next came my outfit from dad, "hey why does this look like Ridgedog's clothing?" She asked, I remembered Rythian hadn't told her who I was. "Well...umm...he is kind of my dad...I don't want to hurt anyone though!...I'm not like him..." I said awkwardly, I didn't know what she would think. "I can tell your different, see your kind and nice, Ridgedog is evil and vile and terrible!" She said shaking her head. We finished unpacking and came downstairs to Rythian. He was messing around with things in a room with magical objects and blue and red stalagmites, "hey Ryth" she said as we walked in. "Hey Zoey, hey Kira" he said calmly continuing to search through a chest. "Whatcha looking for?" Zoey asked bouncing over to him, peering down into the chest. "Oh it's nothing..." He said straitening up and closing the chest. "Kira? Would you mind staying here with Zoey while I go....sort some things out?" He asked me. "Yeah sure..." I said confused. Zoey obviously knew what he was talking about, "Rythian! I'm coming with you!" She said. "no, I'm not risking you getting hurt! End of story, I'm sorry" he said boldly. "Zoey? It's ok, we can play a game ok?" I said to her, "I'm not a 5 year old! I don't need to play games!" She said in a frenzy. "No your right, you aren't a little girl, but this game is for adults to, I used to play this by myself all the time." I said "ok I guess" she said giving up. Rythian mouthed thank you as he picked up some tools and left. "Ok so what was this game?" She asked me. "It's called the letter game" I said. She looked confused and hurt, I could tell she thought this was a little kid game, in a way it was and wasn't. "How do you play?" She asked suspiciously. "We pick a category and then whoever starts says a word under that category, then the other person would say something that is under that category that starts with the letter the other word ended on. I know it sounds complicated but it's really not." I said to her as she shook her head in confusion. "Ok so lets say the category was animals, I would say cows and then you would say something that started with s that was an animal," I explained. "Like snake!" She said understanding. "Yes exactly!" I smiled, 'as long as we keep this going we can at least try to keep the bad luck away from Rythian.' I though. "Elephant" I said "tiger" she countered. This went on for quite some time, switching categories when something seemed impossible. Finally Zoey stopped and asked "why are we playing this anyway, I mean it's fun but, isn't there other stuff we could be doing?" I decided it was best to tell her,m"The letter game is a way to keep bad luck away, I figure it was worth a shot to try and keep bad luck away from Rythian" I explained to her. "Where did you learn that?" She asked "it's a belief in some Japanese culture, I read about it in some books" I said. "Oh" she said sighing and looking at the floor, it had been almost 3 hours since Rythian left. We were both starting to worry, suddenly he came bursting through the door. "Rythian!" Zoey screamed and flung herself at him as he came in, she didn't even notice the deep cut in his cheek until a drop of blood landed on her hand. "Oh my gosh! Your bleeding!" She yelled, she ran out of the room to get first aid before we could say anything. "Rythian, what happened? Where were you?" I asked him carefully, "I was trying to settle things with Duncan. He made it worse" he said quickly. "Now help me, before Zoey gets back and finds out," he said "finds out about what? She obviously knew you were going to Duncan's." I said, but then I noticed the blood coming out of his cut was now black, "Rythian....that's not normal" I said "I know, just help me, she can't know" he said pained, I grabbed an old shirt off the couch and ripped it and started patting the blood off, "I'm sorry if this hurts" I said "no it's fine, really, as long as she doesn't know it's all worth it, I don't want her to suffer" he said quietly. By the time Zoey came back with all the first aid she could find, I had mopped up all the blood and it was a simple cut now, I had discarded the rags where she wouldn't find them. "Oh, your ok" she said "yeah, Kira gave me some rags to contain the blood, but then it stopped, it's ok now. You don't have to worry" he said calmly to her, carefully petting the top of her head. He loved her, it was so plain to see. And she loved him back.
