#eiden 02

Even though he wanders around Archimedes ward quite a lot, Joey has never really paid much attention to it has he? Always going straight to the library rather than actively interacting the the place. Well, you know what they say about a first time for everything- right? Today happened to be a pretty hot day with people running around to either hang out at the coolest restaurant or to explore the art exhibits, even going so far as to feel the chill of years of history from the churches. 

The raven haired young adult elected to go near the River of Styx, closer to an area that people haven’t crowded around yet and rolled up his pants along with removing his boots to soak them in the cool water- sighing in relief. Its been a minute since he’s been in such hot temperatures. 

After all, the thing that was weighing heaviest on his mind in that moment was the wellbeing of the people he cared about; his friends, and everyone he considered family. Despite that he knew the whereabouts of some, Lloyd still hadn't been able to get a hold of all of them; anxiously pacing the path towards one of the safe zones as he tried to keep his focus.

However, a sudden scream in the distance cut through it immediately; taking hold of all of Lloyd's attention as his head snapped in the direction it came from. And though he'd already began to run, feet pounding on the ground towards the noise, they quickly started to fall even harder when he saw who was being attacked; his heart sinking into the depths of his chest.

"Eiden!"

Closing the distance between himself and the Latcher, Lloyd swung both of his swords towards the monster and slammed them into it; knocking it off its feet and sending it flying. With a quick call of 'Demon Fang!', the creature was finished off with a stab through the chest; pulling the blades out of its body as he quickly rushed to the side of his friend.

"Are you alright?!"
