Melava smiles at Cole and says softly in a tone that is like tasting the sweetest strawberries "I'm glad you're here Cole!"  Cole replies as though she said something else "if it bothers you I can make you forget that helps no you need all of you right now to fight maybe later"  she lightly chuckles and he looks at her and says with a soft surprised tone "oh!.... you.... said!"  he smiles jumps down off the bed frame and walks back over to her "I'm glad!"  he says softly his hand twitches at his side as though it wants to reach up and touch her but he keeps it there and he tells her "thoughts are fast we're hear outside a blade is still falling hanging in the air like a sunset"  Melava says "my friends are out there!.... fighting for the lives of strangers!.... they didn't even know I left.... I have to go back!.... I have to help them!.... they would do the same for me!"  she pauses then says "if I keep going.... it will...."  Cole's smile brightens "yes!!.... all of this is Envy: people, places, power if you keep going Envy stretches it takes strength to make more...."  he looks back at the little girl and continues "being one person is hard being many too many more and more and Envy breaks down you break out"  he pauses as though unsure looking back at her sadly "maybe I hope it helps it's more than sitting here waiting to lose your face..... I don't want you to lose your face...."  he reaches out toward her but doesn't touch her then he drops his hand once more as she smiles at him once again she looks around and says softly "I remember this day.... it was the day the slavers came and took "my" clan away!"  he looks over at her as she continues "I.... never had many people in my life..... so I am uncertain HOW to make more.... for I will NOT show it what it WANTS to see!!.... I'm just a scout anyway.... no one of "true power".... but since the Harold sent me.... it probably thinks that I....!"  she takes his hand and starts to run saying with soft laughter in her tone "well if I am to go.... then you're coming with me!"  his eyes widen as he allows her to drag him along "back to whence I came huh!?!"  she says then she looks at him and all he can do is nod she lightly laughs as they stop at the statues spitting green fire down to stop them from going into the next place....

"Ideas are loud here make them louder think of water"  Cole tells her and the fire turns into water they here Envy say "that thing can't help you I will see more"  Melava shouts up to Envy "what's the matter.... jealous!?!.... his name is Cole!.... and the only "thing" that is here is YOU "Envy"!!"  Cole's eyes widen as she lightly pulls him into the next room.... Envy growls when all it sees is a room full of slavers and the clan she was born in "I had always wondered what happened to them!"  she tells Cole as he looks around in surprise as well "I had bit the hand of the man that grabbed me.... which made him drop and start chasing me.... I had gotten separated from the rest!"  she says then she looks over at Cole who looks at her at the same time letting go of his hand she flicks the brim of his hat up and so that it popped just a little off his head and brushes his bangs away from his eyes with just the tips of her fingers then says softly as she looks deeply into his eyes "you told me that ideas are loud here.... thoughts must be just as loud.... perhaps louder.... so.... you did help Cole.... thank you!"  she smiles at him then turns to watch the slavers and the ones they were selling then she takes his hand once more and they continue on and she says as they rush about "it wants to know about the Inquisition and the people within.... find out how it can use the trust the Harold has for me to it's advantage!.... I'm hoping that this Demon isn't smart enough to go digging further within my thoughts and memories to find the ones it needs.... I'm hoping that it will stick with my "surface thoughts".... my curiosity!" .... when they get to the last room they see an unlit torch "it's dark but it isn't real think of sparks keep going up you are more you there than you are Envy and that tires it out"  Cole says "what kind of sparks!?!"  she teases with a smile Cole looks at her confused he jumps when he hears the torch ignite itself she takes the torch in her free hand and they continue on....

"I haven't seen enough"  they hear Envy say angrily when they reach the next room and it replays the memory of her and her fathers death Cole watches the scene before him with widened eyes "a Foci holder!?!"  Envy exclaims in shock "why didn't you tell me!?!"  it says angrily Melava's scar begins to glow as she shouts dropping Cole's hand "I've had enough!!" the scene disappears in a puff of green smoke and she rushes out of the room Cole follows her his eyes full of worry.... Cole catches up to her she has reached the very last door the one where it all began well where Envy took her into the "Fade of her memories" anyway the Envy Demon walks up behind her gripping her arm and spinning her around she looks at it with eyes full of hate her magic glows all around her hands as she says venomously "bad idea Envy!"  Envy ignores her as it says "unfair unfair that thing kept you whole kept me from getting your shape"  Melava looks confused for a second then whispers softly with a hint of sadness "Cole!?!"  the Envy Demon says as it lifts Melava up by the collar of her shirt "we'll start again more pain this time the Elder One still comes"  Cole comes up from behind the Envy Demon his daggers unsheathed at his side and in his hand he growls angrily and says "no!.... I won't let you!"  as he rushes up and stabs the Envy Demons hip one dagger to each side of it the Envy Demon hisses in pain and drops Melava Cole drops his daggers and rushes over to catch her before she falls he looks her in the eyes and says softly "it's frightened of you"  she smiles at him as she stands up straight and says "and pissed at you!"  she straightens her hand out past Cole's hip her magic pushes the charging Envy Demon away and that is when everything "goes back to normal"
