"We've been walking for a while now Drizella, or rather, I've been walking. You're basically floating"
"Well I can't walk and you can't float"
"Bummer"
"You really going to die with your brother?"
"What's the point in running? I mean your 'one has to die for another to live' didn't really help me" she said, Drizella stopped.
"What? Did I piss you off? Sorry, its kinda my thing, I mean, pissing people off"
"For you, for anyone to leave this triangle..." She began.
"Well, I'm listening" Irene snapped
"For you to leave, for you to live, I have to die"
Irene's jaw dropped
"Any news honey?" Evelyn asked her tired husband. He took a long deep breath and shook his head.
"I'm sorry, there's just no trace of them anywhere. Eve, I hate to say this but..."
"Then don't" she cut-in,
"Don't say it"
"Honey they could be dead"
"Maxwell! They are our only children"
"That's why this is so frustrating. I've looked everywhere possible!"
"You haven't. My children are alive and they will come home"
"Its been 2 weeks"
"Exactly. Its been only 2 weeks. Its too soon to give up"
"Evelyn"
"Even if it takes 2 years, or 10 years, I will never lose hope. My children are alive, until I see their corpses"
With her palm, she wiped the tears that had wet her face and stormed off to her room.
"Remember when I told you that no matter how much they wanted to kill me, they couldn't?"
Irene nodded
"Well, that's because, when I was born, shortly after they got banished from the merland for being evil and decided to settle here, she believed I'd follow her steps and somehow made me the life source of this place"
"Um, I know this is a bit random but, how old are you?"
"Well above 300"
"Oh, wow. So, by life source, you mean that if.."
"If anything happens to me" she interrupted,
"This place will be destroyed, along with everything that lives in it"
"Wow, that's quite a burden you carry"
"But..."
"Wait, hold on" Irene screamed
"Why are you screaming?"
"If something happens to you, the place collapses with everything in it. How is that supposed to be good news to me, we'll all die in here anyways!"
"If you'd let me finish talking earlier, you'd understand better"
"Oh, okay then, explain"
