Sound of music echoed through the halls. Two trolls, dancing in front of Elanti as she watches them. The two trolls, who happened to be matesprits both have collars around their necks. Explosive collars that can be detonated at any moment. Elanti placed her hand under her chin, unimpressed behind the mask she wears.

"This getting rather dull. These two are not ‘the eyes or entertainment.’ Kill them." That moment, both the trolls stopped and begged her to not, but it was too late as the collar sets off a repeating beep, detonating; blowing off both the trolls head and a good portion of their torso. Elanti sighed, getting off of her throne as she walked passed the mess that lay on the floor. "Clean this damn mess up. It better be clean by the time I come back or your heads will be added onto my collection." She ordered, the two trolls standing beside her throne quickly rushed to get the cleaning equipment as she walked out of her palace.

She puts on her cape, swimming up to the surface, and onto the shoreline of the beach. Around her are the many heads she has decapitated and placed on pikes, to show fear to those that walk by. She never comes out of her palace very often. Only when she buys new slaves or to just get expensive jewelry.

The sounds of a guitar playing could be heard through the whole hive. The blue blood kept playing a certain song, wanting to get it right, but manages to mess up on some notes even through many hours of practice. "Damn it. Messed up again." He hissed under his breath. A sudden knock came from his front door downstairs. He didn't expect any visitors. Could be his moirail or possibly someone he knows.

He lays his guitar on his bed and walked out of the room, downstairs and towards the front door. He opened it only to see the one familiar troll he had ever known. "Jaisnt..." The troll said. Her face hidden by a mask. "Elanti." He said as the two of them stood there, staring at each other.

She takes off her mask, blinking a few times. Jaisnt's eyes widened, seeing her different appearance, her hair cut short, and some piercings on her face. "Elanti... you've..." He couldn't find words to describe her. She only rolled her slit-like eyes, gently moving him aside and entering his hive. "Your place. Still looks dull even the last time I visited." She said, sitting down on the couch.

"Elanti... what the hell happened to you?" Jaisnt said. The sea dweller could only let out a sigh and looked up at him. She noticed how much he has changed. It must have been that long for the two not seeing each other. "I've gotten body mods and gave myself a new look. It's appealing to me. You have a matesprit with big breasts anyway. This shouldn't be much different to you." She says harshly.

He could only growl from the mention of that. "Elanti, I am serious. What the hell happened to you?! Ever since that day you found that journal, you became... more distant! The day I saw you and saw what you did... what happened to you?" He worriedly says. She narrowed her eyes at him, "I've not changed, Rodnik. I grew up, matured, and seen the task that I must unfold to make this planet worthy and dominant to other species."

He shook his head. "Did you have any idea how many of us... how scared we were of you? You were my friend, Elanti! I've trusted so much from you!" He says, his voice cracking up a little. "What do you know about me, Jaisnt? There's nothing to stop me from what I've done. Fear is the only way to show that I am worthy and you and the rest of the low bloods are nothing but garbage, lying around everywhere. I've given you chances to join me, for us to rule together and conquer planets as our own. You and me, Jaisnt."

Jaisnt grits his teeth, more angrier than before. "You were my friend, Elanti. I've told you so many things about me, you told me everything about you. Even before I got together with Claire, I liked you! I even had a crush on you!" He yelled, the sea dweller being surprised by his change of tone, but more some surprised from what he said. "That's how much you meant to me, Elanti. I trusted you to the point that I began to like you. But that all changed ever since that day. Now look at yourself! Wanting to become like the Condense and your ancestor combined for what? To start a genocide on all mutants and low bloods? What then? Everyone you have known would be dead because of what you have set in motion for yourself. Fucking think about that. think about it, Elanti! For once actually use your head to make a sane statement because I can't just stop and be scared about you of what you have become."

She stayed silent, looking down at the ground. She never thought of it that way before. Though she still believes in what she had her mindset to. She stood up from the couch and stared at him. The only thing she was more in thought of what he said about her. "Did you used to like me before? Or are you just saying it so it can convince me much easily?" She says, Jaisnt shaking his head, "No. Honestly, there's no point to try and convince. You've set your own path while I lost a friend, someone I cared about, someone that laughed with me, kept me safe from the dark, made me smile. That person I knew and cared for is gone."

The tyrian blood stood there, wanting to say something, but cannot find the words to say it. She's already having second thoughts with what she's been doing up to this point. What if he's right? Everything that she had done has been nothing but cruel things. There's been times that she question herself of the choices she made, but this was something much greater. She puts on her mask and walked out to the front door before stopping. "Jaisnt... I do not know whether to believe you, but...don't try to get yourself killed. And I'm sorry. This is who I am now." She walked out, Jaisnt standing there for a moment. It brought him memories, the day she became more distant and he tried talking to her. She said the same sentence back when they were young. He sat on the couch, sighing heavily knowing that there's no point now to change her mind.

Sound of music echoed through the halls. Two trolls, dancing in front of Elanti as she watches them. The two trolls, who happened to be matesprits both have collars around their necks. Explosive collars that can be detonated at any moment. Elanti placed her hand under her chin, unimpressed behind the mask she wears.

"This getting rather dull. These two are not 'the eyes or entertainment.' Kill them." That moment, both the trolls stopped and begged her to not, but it was too late as the collar sets off a repeating beep, detonating; blowing off both the trolls head and a good portion of their torso. Elanti sighed, getting off of her throne as she walked passed the mess that lay on the floor. "Clean this damn mess up. It better be clean by the time I come back or your heads will be added onto my collection." She ordered, the two trolls standing beside her throne quickly rushed to get the cleaning equipment as she walked out of her palace.

She puts on her cape, swimming up to the surface, and onto the shoreline of the beach. Around her are the many heads she has decapitated and placed on pikes, to show fear to those that walk by. She never comes out of her palace very often. Only when she buys new slaves or to just get expensive jewelry.

"We must know what we're doing for the cause. Don't let your guard slip away. You know what she's capable of." A voice echoed in a room, maniacal laughter bursting out suddenly at the end of every sentence. The yellow blood flipped his knife over and over, catching either the bladed part, or the handle of it, every time it lands on his fingers.

A door soon opened as he continued to do his idle knife catching. "You waited for me, I see." A female voice spoke, entering the room with only one light source shining down on the yellow blood. "Well, of course I waited, your royalty. When I heard about... an agreement you wanted to make. I was... intrigued. Surprised, actually, that you would want to make some agreement with a yellow blood like me." He chuckled, turning towards the silhouette figure of a sea dweller.

"Call me Elanti and yes, I wouldn't normally make agreements with you low bloods. Though I'm losing people I could trust on and many other high bloods are either allied or with low bloods. It's ruining everything I believed in... and I want you to do something for me." She steps more closer, coming out of the shadows and soon her body is shown from the light. She wore a mask to hide her face, and the gold jewelry glimmering from the light.

The oven beeped, the sweet aroma of cookies filling the air. Galenu walking down to the kitchen, opening the small oven door and pulled out the tray of cookies. "They're done! I better remember to take these to the bakery tomorrow." She said to herself. A knock came from the door, she quickly turned to the front, hearing another knock. She didn't expect any visitors or it could possibly be Xavien.

She smiled, thinking it could be him as she walks to the door, opening it and standing in front of the door is the same sea dweller that brought her to slavery. The mask she wore looked very horrifying and ominous. Galenu's eyes widened and she quickly closed the door, but was blocked by the sea dwellers heels. "I don't think you should do that, dear. After all, you shouldn't be rude to guests." Her voice sent chills to Galenu's spine, her heart beating faster than ever until she sees the blade of her halberd go right through the door.

Galenu screamed, running upstairs, but tripped on the steps. Her leg was grabbed and she was pulled down. She hit the ground, groaning in pain. "Look at that? Does this seem familiar, miss Corfee? To think you gave up so easily that I thought of you as some lunatic! But now I see that it was her that caused you to act that way." The sea dweller grabbed onto the broken horn of Galenu, her arms flailing and her red red with rage as she tries to claw at the sea dweller. "You are the most worthless yellow blood I have ever seen." Galenu continued to flail her arms, until she grabbed onto the sea dweller's arm and clawed at her skin until she started to bleed.

Peace and quiet. She liked it this way indeed. Laying on the couch, she happily "reads" some magazines she had kept. Her eyes wandered around the pictures of many high bloods on every page, sighing contently every now and then as her fantasies takes over. A knock interrupted her day dream, groaning and got off the coach, walking towards the door.

She opened it and was instantly tackled to the ground by some drones, both holding each of her arms. She struggled to break free, but was no use. She looks at the doorway, seeing a sea dweller standing right in front of her. Her eyes beamed wide as her efforts of breaking free instantly fade away. The sea dweller walked in, looking around the inside from where she was standing and then looks down at the troll. "Are you Galenu Corfee?" She says, sounding impatient.

"Yes! That's my name!" She complies, looking up at high blood in excitement. "My name is Elanti and I am taking you in to be sold." The sea dweller's eyes narrowed, eyeing at the yellow blood. Galenu was confused by the phrase 'to be sold', but quickly understood what the high blood meant. She frowned, looking back up at the sea dweller. "So... I'm going to become a slave...? I've been working so hard to find a job, but I was never able to find one that's hiring..." She says, sadly speaking to the sea dweller. The high blood nearly felt upset, but kept her posture and her straight, angry expression. The sea dweller cannot show pity to the troll.

"... Though I'm willing to calmly accept it either way. I knew the day would come. I'm still willing to obey, high blood!" She says contently. Elanti was surprised by the sudden change in emotion. This troll she's talking to is different from others would beg to not be put into slavery, but Galenu accepts it without fighting back. "Well... in that case. Drones. Let her go." they both did as they were told, letting go of her wrists and she quickly scampered up to her feet, standing and formal as possibly in front of the high blood. "Will the slavers be nice to me...? I don't want to get any bruises or cuts if I'm gonna be sold to someone."

The high blood was quiet, glancing at the yellow blood, but is still shocked at how calm the troll is. Finally, she broke her silence. "I'll be sure to tell the slavers to not rough handle you too much. Whatever owner you'll be taken by wouldn't want a servant like you in poor condition to work for them." Elanti gives a sly grin as she steps away from the doorway for Galenu to walk out of.

Everything seems to be calm. Jaisnt continues working on his project, putting together the limbs and the head of the drone. The first time he made his first drone, it took him at least days to finish and he had a power source with him when he finally finished it. It's different now since he doesn't have a power source with him, which are usually gems, and it's hard to find the specific one.

A loud crash came from upstairs which made him lose focus and drop the drones leg down, instantly breaking. He groaned, heading upstairs to see what the noise was. Finding the source of the noise, he found his door on the floor and off its hinges and seeing that Elanti was standing outside of the doorway. "Great, what the hell do you want? And have you ever heard of the term knocking?!"

"Yes, I did and forget about your stupid door. I need to talk to you." She quickly heads down to the cellar where he was working, mumbling to himself as he follows.

He sees her sitting on his chair, examining the unfinished drone. "I see you've taken the blueprints from the ruins and used them yourself. You know, Rodnik, you may be pathetic, but you are very handy with weaponry and robotics. Possibly the most positive perks you were born with." She grinned, giggling to herself. "Cut the crap. Why did you came here? Especially when I was working on this? And how did you know about me going into some ruins?"

"Jaisnt, I do not know why you were in those ruins, but I must ask you, what did you encounter in there? Tell me." Her squinted as her tone of voice became more serious than ever. He was more or so confused on how she knows this, unless she was spying on him though he had no choice but to answer her question, "I saw a tall, dark figure. I figured that it was some spirit guarding the temple. No big deal, right?"

She place a hand on her chin, seeing as though she is putting some thought on what he said. "Jaisnt, that dark figure isn't an ordinary spirit. I must warn you, be careful. That entity is your ancestor." He steadily looks at her with a shocking face, but laughs right after. She growls, getting off the chair she was sitting on and side kicked him against his face. He fell to the ground, groaning in pain as he covered his face. "What the hell, Elanti?!" He yelled. "Rodnik, I'm not joking of this. Why do you think you always come back after facing death every time?! You've gained the same ability that your ancestor has. He's still alive out there, Jaisnt! He's guarding that temple for a reason and it's to prevent trespassers from knowing that he still lives. I've given the liberty to have one of my servants to retrieve his secret journal entries from various locations. Each of them, Faltri was there. Here they are."

She reached from her pocket, pulling out a stack of papers that were almost ripped apart and are wrinkly. He taken the papers that was handed to him as he looked at her. "Why are you doing this for me? Why the sudden change in that? I thought you wanted me dead."
