In The Land Of Darkness A Few Hours After Chapter 8*
Third Person POV*
Emerald is sitting on the floor while Mercury is training around the room with punches and kicks.
Emerald said, "I hate being kept in the dark like this...".
Mercury said, "Yeah, Cinder was a pain, but at least she kept us filled in.".
Mercury then continues training.
Emerald asked, "Can I ask you something?".
Mercury said, "You're gonna.".
Emerald asked, "Why did you come with us, that night me and Cinder found you?".
Mercury asked, "Why are you asking--".
Emerald interrupted him and said, "Just answer the question."
Mercury said, "Just made sense.".
Emerald asked, "It made sense?".
Mercury said, "All my life, my father trained me to be a killer, an assassin like him. And then moments after I killed him, you two showed up looking for someone with my exact skills. Just felt like it was meant to be.".
Emerald incredulously asked, "That's it?".
Mercury asked, "Hey, what's your problem?".
Emerald asked, "I mean, there has to be something you want from this, right?".
Mercury asked, "Salem's promised us everything. We win this thing for her, we'll be top dogs in her new world. What more do you want?".
Emerald sighed and said, "I just... Cinder was the only family I ever had. She cared about me, taught me things... But without her here, I don't know if what we're doing--".
Mercury interrupted her and said, "Wake up, already...".
Emerald looks at him in shock upon hearing this.
Mercury said, "Cinder doesn't care about you! She doesn't care about either of us!".
Emerald angrily said, "You don't know what you're talking about!".
Mercury said, "You're in denial. And if you're gonna start having an identity crisis or some crap... keep me out of it.".
At this, Emerald angrily jumps forward and starts to attack Mercury with punches and kicks, but he dodges them and catches her wrist.
Mercury said, "I'm sorry you didn't have a mommy that loved you, but I had a father who hated me!".
Mercury shoves Emerald back a bit.
She takes a defensive stance as he slowly approaches her.
Mercury said, "He never went easy on me! Every day of training was a beating. And when I unlocked my Semblance, he stole it with his!".
Mercury threw a punch and a kick at Emerald, but she dodged them, while Mercury said, "This is a crutch! This makes you weak! He told me I could have it back when I was strong. So I got strong, but I never got it back! I've had to work harder than anyone to get where I am. You may not like it here without Cinder, but I think I'm right where I'm supposed to be!".
