FRANK: We soared the skies for a while before the large bird began its descent.

It all still felt out of this world as slowly the thin line that was the road enlarged.

The bird gave one more thunderous screech before dropping hard on the ground. Strong wind blew everywhere as the bird clapped and we got climbed our way down.

Theo smiled as he reached the road "That was fun wasn't it?"

Once I reached the floor and safety was relatively in my grasp I threw a mighty punch at his nose.

Theo fell back as I connected with his mouth and landed on his back.

I took deep breaths as I closed my eyes and willed myself to calm down. Theo groaned as he rubbed his jaw before slowly standing up "Okay I think I deserved that."

A sound drew my attention to the giant bird, it seemed majestic but very dangerous as it watched me for a quick second. Just as I proceeded to open my mouth fire suddenly covered its body seemingly out of nowhere, the bird didn't panic but closed its eyes as if having the warmest bath.

There's something strange about the fire, the color almost looks red, emerald red.

I watched as the bird begun to reduce in size, the sizzling of fire filled my ears and in a matter of seconds in place of where the enormous creature stood was a red glittering stone.

"Impressive am I right?" Theo spoke as he picked up the stone and placed it in his pocket.

I didn't reply as I looked around "The car?" I asked grimly.

Theo nodded "Sure Sure" he flicked his fingers and the taxi materialized before us.

I sighed "First it was Grimm, then an elf and now a troll!" I yelled, "are you serious?"

Theo smiled wiping the blood off his lips "Well the troll could've been here by coincidence but judging by our adventures I'm strongly opposed to that theory. It could be the same elf that attacked you that set up this trap."

I wanted to punch more, punch something hard till my bones hurt but they never did really.

"I'd control that raging lust, Frank."

"What?"

"You need to learn to let loose."

"Let loose?"

"Yeah let loose, life is too short to be overthinking."

"My life has been a rollercoaster ever since I boarded that plane, nothing has made sense."I practically shouted.

"Sense is overrated anyway."

"Seriously I just need things to take a slower pace."

"You need to be calm."

I am calm!" I yelled "I'm as calm as anyone in my situation would be!"

"Whoa okay okay big guy" Theo raised his arms calmly.

I felt like the air was heavy as I inhaled and exhaled deeply.

Calm down Frank.

"I know."

Huh?

"Know what?"

"Never mind" Theo began heading for the door but I held his chest, I had had it with people knowing things about me.

"What do you know?" My tone had never been deadly serious than now.

Theo wheezed as he nodded slowly "That child who can't walk again...the bully. That was you right?"
