[i] The shadows dissipated from around Lance, leaving him standing on the foggy ground, bent double with his hands on his knees. He'd almost let Shadow have control of his body. He'd been that desperate. [/i]
"Why..how?"
[i] He questioned, looking over his shoulder to Lana. [/i]

[b]The large creature purred happily, slowly shrinking to normal size... He wasn't part of Lana's imagination... And so he had a single seal of his own... One to change size.[/b] [i]"I'm sorry, Mister... I didn't realize Anthony was back..."[/i] [i]"Anthony is around?"[/i] [i]"If he caused you any harm..."[/i] [i]"Wait... He's back?!"[/i] [i]"I thought he had left..."[/i] [i]"Stop! How is Anthony back?!"[/i] [b]Lana looked down at Seth and held his cheek, sadness in her eyes.[/b] [i]"He's in your head..."[/i] [i]"Oh..."[/i] [b]Lana eventually got up and blinked, Seth suddenly turning to a pile of dust as she pushed him away.[/b]

"I'm sorry Lana." [i] Lance said quietly as he stood up and brushed himself off. He didn't even know what he was apologizing for..he just felt like he needed to.[/i]

You should have never have met him..."[/i] [b]Lana sighed and kneeled back onto the ground, Alphonse trotting over and resting next to her, paw prodding her small legs.[/b] [i]"And now Seth is... Hosting dark stuff... And... I just need to find Mister Damien..."[/i]

"What do you need Damien for?" [i] Lance questioned, leaning his back against the semi-charred tree. His body ached after his ordeal with Anthony, even though there were no physical wounds. [/i]

[i]"He knows how to handle this stuff... He's smart..."[/i] [b]The long fabric ears of her hood almost seemed to droop... But Damien was so often I his own little world or doing his own thing, that catching him at a good time would be... Difficult.[/b] [i]"I don't know anymore... It's all... So difficult..."[/i] [b]Lana curled up into a ball, knees to her chest, head to her knees. And as she did so... She withdrew... She was no different than Belle in her fears and struggles...[/b] [b]And then... A single spark, her cloth wrappings slowly scattering as Lana turned into a swarm of origami balloons, light blue flames inside each one as they scattered into the wind.[/b] [b]Alphonse made some sort of bird like noise before flying upwards, following the balloons, trying not to loose track of his friend...[/b]

"Ok then.." [i] Lance mutters, eyes following the origami and Alphonse as they flew higher above the trees. She was definitely an interesting one..[/i] (End.)
