Her words touched him deeply. No one had ever seen beyond his looks so quickly, seen someone other than the mutated beast out to kill. That was what would make this betrayal hurt so much more. He wanted to curl up and die. As he plodded alongside her he listened to her story, fascinated and slightly disturbed by the story she told. It seemed that the world of Helovia was a world full of dangers and hardships. Knowing that he was not the only one who had a tough life was strangely comforting. Disturbingly so. Still, this old city had to have had a name. "I wonder what history this city holds." He said, not sure if he could find the words to express his gratefulness to Kiada for being so willingly indulge him. Or her kind words that lightened his spirits.

The knot in his stomach also made it hard to keep the conversation going, especially after the brief history he got of the city that resembled this one. His long tail swished back and forth as they walked. Faint carvings and paint could be seen, faded and worn on the walls that they passed.

Their voice's howling grew. He was not sure how long he could last with The Rift, he was certain that this was who the eyes were, before he went mad.

He thought about how Kiada had said earlier about The Rift. Could it be trying to give him something? Or was it simply testing him? He hadn't the slightest idea how this world worked, but Kiada seemed confident that there was something better laying hidden within these lands. He wanted to believe it too. But right now he didn't feel all the confident about this. "So, does this place ever get warmer?" he asked as he ventured deeper into the ruins with Kiada.
