Chapter 18 The Squid King?

Venn's Pov

Weird boy begins to explain his whole past, repeating it as some forlorn memory, A painful one at that. His face screamed alone and for some reason instead of looking in to His pasts I actually listened, the territorial affect finally hitting me. No one wants another in their thoughts, a personal space only ment for thoughts in privacy, thoughts on their own.

Flashback*

Ian and Quentin are on a boat ride. It's peaceful, silent. Tranquil blue waters sheathed by overgrown branches with tiny bits of sunlight peeking through here and there. grass lines the very edge of the narrow streams bank and a waterfall can be seen from a distance.

"It's beautiful out here. I wish I could see this forever. " Ian states mindlessly, looking around at the many animals and trees. Quentin had never actually liked the outdoors. From what he was told, this was the spawn point for a new disease in the villages.

"Nah. I really don't, personally. This is where bugs and germs are housed. We could probably catch something and die!"A worried Quentin spits. Ian sighs, irritation plaging his once peaceful thoughts.

Where did his best friend go? It seems like only yesterday they were slaying mobs and climbing trees. Now all Quentin ever worried about was money,germs, or sanitation. He Just wasn't the same anymore and that worried him to a certain extent. What happened to his best friend? 

" Why are you different Quentin? You've changed.Why aren't you the friend I hoped you'd be?  You can't even appreciate me or my many attempts to have fun! What happened?!" Ian yells at his startled friend. But the fish was too worried to listen to him. Quentin had been busy studying for algae with his science kit. He wondered if he could find a cure for that new disease in the village, completely forgetting this was a vacation.

"Huh? Ian did you say something? I was a bit busy at the moment."A still distant Quentin mumbles. Ian sighs in frustration.  To think he liked this guy. Standing up, Ian brushes off his suit picking up the diamond pickaxe from his side of the boat.

"You've Changed Quentin." Ian whispers before docking the boat and walking off. Only this time, Quentin heard it. Loud and as clear as day. Quentin tries to rack his brain for answers sorting out his emotions. One stood out, reoccurring mostly in his head and that was anger. How dare he leave!  At the worst time when all his friends had left him, All his family dead. It seems like his world was ending, in the worst ways.

He soon gets over it though, and makes friends with a king. But not just any king, he made friends with a squid king. The squid shows favor to the amphibian, and soon makes Quentin his second hand man. How does Ian know this all? Quentin wrote lost letters in his chest at the old base. When the base blew up, Quentin left the chest seemingly forgetting the 450 notes and letters left inside, the last one signed with the kings blood. King was dead and Quentin is in rule. Has been for the past 5 years.

End of Flashback *

"-and that's what happened. We were friends but the day I left and the day he saw you," Ian points at me a tired finger waved at me,"He started to refer to you as my love in his notes and letters." Ian finishes.  Everyone stares into to space, their own thoughts placed elsewhere. Ty snuggles into Adam's side as the weird realization hits me,

I was Quentin's only weakness.
