Heros of Alteria

All Aboard The Crazy Train

He back here again . . . with her. He ran though the jungle, making sure to avoid the traps he got caught in last time. Jeeve sprinted like a madman, ducking and dashing through the foliage, trying not to be caught by her again. He saw a clearing and used the last of his energy to burst through it. He tripped and began tumbling down the hill, scraping and cutting his clothes along the way. Once he reached the bottom, he rose to his feet and grimaced . . . He was trapped.

He was on some beach, but had nowhere to run. With an ocean in front and a jungle in the back, he had ran right into her trap.

"Hello Jeeve. It's been awhile since we've met here hasn't it?"

"Stay away from me! I'm not afraid of you!"

"Yet you keep running? Tell me, why have you been avoiding sleep? A warrior needs sleep to stay sharp."

"Well every time, I lay down . . . I get thrown in this nightmare! I'm sick and tired of you haunting me! GO AWAY!" Kira smirked and lunged with Jericho towards him, Jeeve braced and parried the attack. Kira looked back at him and said "Why do you fight our bond? Don't you understand?! You and I are connected! Whenever you are distressed or frightened I feel it! And the same can be said for me . . . I know that you can feel my emotions too . . . So why do you fight me!?"

"Because you're a piece of shit! I hate you!!"

"Why so angry today? Are you afraid I'll . . . hurt your precious family?"

Jeeve took on a defensive stance at the question. "Oh so you are afraid of me and what I'll do to them!" Kira began circling him tauntingly, saying "What will you do when I kill the rabbit? Will you lash out and kill me in anger too?" Jeeve said nothing, just maintaining his ground. "I can feel a surge at the mention of her . . . You are . . . angry with her yes?" Jeeve gripped Ethos a little tighter.

"Ah you two had a fight, and I surmise it was about me . . . Yes interesting indeed. What exactly was the fight about?"

"Apparently you can read minds, so why don't you tell me."

"I can not read minds . . . only feelings, scents, and body language. You are a very easy creature to read. You tell me everything I want to know and more, just by standing the way you do now."

"Well this is my dream and I want you out!"

"You are in the DreamScape. An expansive world connected to every Arch warrior's subconsciousness. For some it is a safe haven from the woes of everyday life, but for me? It's a tool."

"What are you talking about?"

"There was once a time when every patriarch ever shared this space. And now with most gone, it's so easy to find the remaining ones, like you."

"If it were so easy, you would have found all of them by now."

Kira huffed indignantly, saying "Yes it's true. The last remaining Patriarchs do not utilize the DreamScape, making it nearly impossible to track them down. Though you found one without this place didn't you?"

"I'm not telling you anything."

"Oh but you already have. Tyloc was it? You did my father a great service by luring him out of the Lauren depths. Without you we would have never captured him."
