    I see Zenix looking at Azura and I with fright. But Zella doesn't look scared. She looks furious.
    "What is wrong with you?!" Zella snarls at Logan, "You big fat liar!" Logan looks extremely taken aback.
    "I am not lying! And what does it matter?! You are hanging around a bloody murderer!" Logan spats back. Zenix is shaking with terror and sweating hard.
"You are worse than a ghast! You are accusing a fourteen year-old boy of murder!" Zella shouts at him. I am so confused! This is getting bad.
    "Oh, so being fourteen makes you automatically innocent?! I bet you are both killers! Like a pack of zombie pigmen!" Logan scowles. Zella is fuming and you can almost see the smoke coming out of her ears. I have to stop this.
    "Okay, Logan. If you would please stop threatening my apprentice and his friend, and leave immediately."
    "Excuse, me?! You believe a kid more than me, a grown man?! You really need to go back to training then! Seriously! I am telling you! This kid, Zenix, killed my brother!" Logan yells to my face. I try to control myself, but I can't. So I take out my diamond sword and hold it threateningly.
    "Listen buddy, I really don't like the way you are talking to me, so I insist for your safety, back off." Zella stares hard at Logan.
    "Yeah, idiot! Shut your face and move on!" Logan walks over to Zella angrily.
    "Oh, well I am sure if you are helping a killer, you must be a Shadow Knight or something!" Logan screeches. Zella blushes and turns bright red. She storms out of the tower and Logan continues yelling at her. "Yeah! Go back to the Shadow Lord you Shadow Creep!" I grab his shirt, drag him outside, shove him up against the wall, and say,
    "If you say one more word, you no longer get to go back to your stand in one peice, get it?" Logan rolls his eyes.
    "Yeah, well don't count on me or any other food merchants coming to Phoenix Drop! You will regret not listening to me!" he walks out. Zenix is completely white with fear.
"What was that all about, Zenix?" I ask. He starts shaking again and then looks up at me.
    "He... said... I killed... my father... which... is... his brother..." he stutters badly, "I... was... so... confused..." He stops for a second. "Wait, where did Zella go?!" He starts panicking.
    "Why don't you go find her? Just, don't talk to anyone. We don't want this to become a thing, the head guard of Phoenix Drop threatening people of Bright Port..." I advise him. "Meet me here in two hours or so."
    "Okay... I will go look for her," he says nervously. He leaves the tower, his skin still pale.
