"Three?" Drakses asked. His back arched a bit as she moved her paw down, he liked the feeling.

"Yeah, you, Isis, and Vexx." Blister replied.

"That's not nice Blister, I'm just trying to make him feel good" Isis said as her paw stopped in the middle of his back "And before you say it, there isn't anything perverse about scratching someone's back"

"No you don't Chimera" Virtu cried "The people I killed felt every second of their deaths"

Chimera sighed, "You feel remorse ... you are nor a monster. Trust me; it was a monster who killed the only family I had, it was monsters all across the multiverse that forced me to fight every single day of my life."

Drakses didn't say amything.

Blister sighed, "No comment."

"I only said that so you wouldn't joke about anything" Isis said as she continued scratching Drakses's back

"Y-you really t-think s-so? You w-wouldn't if y-you knew w-what I d-did to people" Virtu said

"I've never seen Drakses enjoy something so much." Spark said.

Drakses ignored Spark, he liked the feeling.

"That sounds different." Careena replied.

"You don't have to go into detail; the important thing is that you are not what you've done, but who you've become, and I don't see a monster." Chimera said.

Isis smiled as she continued

Virtu hugged Chimera "Thanks Chimera" She said

Chimera hugged Virtu back, glad she had said the right things.

Drakses still sat there, enjoying it.

Mark sighed. "What are we going to do?"

Blister sighed, "I have no idea."

"I wonder what Vexx thinks of Drakses having Isis's attention." Careena remarked.

(EB, you going to reply to the PM?)

((I will))

"I think he'd be glad that he hasn't killed anybody" Kihei said

"We should get back to the others" Virtu said

"Who didn't kill anyone?" Mark asked

"Drakses." Careena said.

Chimera nodded, "Come on."

"I've killed many, and I'm not sad about it. Why are you guys sad?" Drakses asked

"Because killing innocent people is wrong" Isis said

Virtu nodded and followed Chimera

Chimera reentered the room where the others were.

"Not all people are as innocent as you think..." Drakses said.

"Everyone here is, we all feel bad about anything we've done wrong" Isis said as she nuzzled Drakses's neck

Virtu entered the room too "Sorry about that" She said

"It's alright Virtu, you've got a bad past. It's the present that counts." Careena nodded.

"The outside world is a different place..." Drakses said. "Not a nice place..."

"You don't have to go outside, we have everything here" Isis said

"Thanks" Virtu said

Ganter frowned at Isis, "Don't want to go outside? Who would not want to go on awesome and epic and interesting adventures every single day of their life? Tell me you aren't serious."

"I know." Drakses said with a nod. He nuzzled Isis back. Vexx always did that.

"It gets stressful sometimes though, we get to relax and make friends here without having to worry about something killing your friend" Isis said as she blushed at Drakses's reaction

"Yeah, but what's life without adventure? You don't have always to have action to have it." Ganter said back.

(EB, when are you going to reply to the PM?)

"how about we explore and the castle." Frost said.

Drakses frowned. "But... Why?"

"Well, the buggest thing is, we have been through those types of adventures, and we all had horrible experiences from it" Kihei said

"I'd love to explore the castle" Midnight said

"Why what Drakses?" Isis asked

"Yeah, but not all adventures are bad, and even if they are, that doesn't mean good things don't come from it." Ganter argued.

"I like to adventure." Mark said.

"Nothing." Drakses said to Isis.

"Ok" Isis said

"Lets talk about something else" Kihei said

"Hmmm... Anyone have anything cool happening in their lives?" Frost asked.

Ganter frowned; why were these guys so against adventures?

"Well, I don't know if this counts, but back home, I'm training to be a guardian of ice under Cyril." Careena said.

"Really!? Thats so cool!" Frost said.

"That sounds cool" Kihei said

"Drakses, can you follow me please?" Isis asked

Careena smiled, "Yeah, but it's tough work."

"Something cool that happened to us might be the day we journeyed into an old vault and found a Mirror of Dimensions; it was also the same day Ganter had wound up in Chimera's world. It was rather awesome watching him fight off a pitch black dragon with Ganter having some kind of rainbow aura." Nuevo said.

"Sure." Drakses said, he followed Isis.

"I would die to be Cyril's apprentice." Frost sighed

"Rainbow aura?" Kihei said

Isis took Drakses to her and Vexx's room "Do you want a message Drakses?" She asked

Drakses nodded. "Yes."

"Like a rainbow? In the sky?" Mark askes

Ganter sighed, "Figures Nuevo would spill that; I'm super special. I have something that we've come to call Hope Light."

"Cool!" Kihei said

"Ok, then lay on the bed, I have to talk to you about something during this though" Isis said

Drakses shrugged, he didn't care he was getting a free massage. He lied down on the bed.

"Wow..." Spark said.

"It's some kind of ... thing. When me and the pitch-black dragon, Nothung, were fighting, he swung an attack that would have normally been fatal, but with Hope Light, there wasn't even a scratch." Ganter said.

"Cool! Something in the universe wants you to stay alive" Kihei said

Isis started messaging Drakses's shoulders "You don't think we're scared of adventure, do you?" She asked

Drakses smiled and groaned happily. "A little bit... Getting hurt and hurting others is sorta part of adventuring, sure no one wants it, but it happens." He said.

"Yeah, thats cool." Mark said

"Or maybe someone." Chimera said, wondering about who Glare once said he worked for.

"Yeah, one time, we met Magiah, and he called Ganter 'the soul of hope'." Blister said.

"You don't think Magiah is the one protecting you?" Kihei asked

"Sorry, but we just have no need for it" Isis said as she continued

"No, I have a friend named Glare; he told me that he was doing a job once, and that he was working for someone. However, when we met Magiah, and I know it was the first time ... Glare had no prior knowledge about him. Magiah might know, but he's not the one in charge." Chimera replied.
