As the man approached, Rythian gripped the hilt of his katar. The threatning silhouette was too familiar to mistake. White lab coat, circular goggles, shaggy blonde hair. This man was Lalna himself.
The question of why Lalna wanted to see Rythian didn't matter. The real question was how did he find the mage. As the mad scientist got closer, his eyes locked with the mage's. This made Rythian's eyes grow more menacing and became more radiant.
"It's been a while, Rythian", the scientist spoke after a deadly silence had filled the cold winter air. "How's Zoey?"
'Zoey? Why would he be asking about her?' Rythian said to himself. "She's fine", Rythian spat. "She's with Kryztel".
"Kryztel?", the scientist put on a face of confusion. The scientist was unaware of the child's birth, and for a good reason. Lalna was the only person who did not know about Kryztel's birth and of Zoey and Rythian's marriage.
"My daughter". Rythian stared at the scientist as his eyes grew large with shock.
"D-daughter?", Lalna stuttered out through his slight shock. 'Rythian had a child?! That means Zoey....no' The two continued their stares, not wanting to show any weakness to the other party.
The scientist rage built up inside of him, causing his next move to be too fast for the mage to process. Rythian looked down at his right side. There stood his enemy, sword driven into the mage's torso, grinning with a crazed look in his eye.
Lalna pulled the sword out of Rythian's side and turned. But before leaving, he looked at the mage who was now on his knees holding his side. "Your lifestone won't help you with that wound, Enderborn". Then the scientist flew off, grinning a mad-man's smile.
