"If we can't convince em to join us then that's our best option." Alex confirmed. "And if we're able to hire those soldiers afterwards I doubt they'd rat us out once they get their pay check."

[b]Royal shook his head in disgust as he left the room, dragging Deity by his arm. As they exited, Royal mumbled something along the lines of "Shoulda let me stab him"[/b]

The two made their way through the village and began to talk to the soldiers their. By the time they were leaving, they were able to acquire thirty of the two hundred men as well as eight vehicles that came with the service. The two began to drive back to the castle when Alex turned his head to Roy. "We'll be back, don't worry."

[b]Royal simply stared out the jeeps window, lost in thought [/b] "Bad decisions lead to good Endings..." [b]He sighed [/b] "I've always been fond of the idea of choices. They are what shape you after all. But I just don't want to make them anymore. I can't make choices like these anymore..."

Alex let out a breath before he said "hey, I get it dude. But these are the kinds of things you HAVE to act on otherwise people will die, and you will be responsible. It doesn't matter if you didn't even do anything, because you are still guilty as shit if you didn't help." He thought about his words for a minute but thought they were a tad confusing. "Does that make sense?"
-
"Yeah..." [b]He pressed his forehead against the glass, which fogged up with each breath be took [/b] "You know I almost died two weeks ago? I was battling this wanna be god that claimed the powers of a fallen hero. And we battled. It ended with me getting stabbed through the chest, even got the scars to prove it. I was dying. And then, I lived. I was saved by some guy I don't know. And the man I fought, I cut his head off..." [b]He sighed, further fogging up the mirror [/b] "I should retire to a beach house. Get away from everything."
-
"Ha! I'd take you up on that idea ANY day! But shit! We gotta get shit done, right?" He said. Now, Alex spoke to Roy like a friend.
-
"Hehe... Yah I guess you could say that... Gotta get shit done." [b]Royal moved away from the window, and now looked at Deity [/b] "Thanks." [b]He sounded... Sincere.[/b]

Alex looked to Roy and raised an awkward eyebrow. "Look at us! We're bonding!" He said with a healthy dose of sarcasm.
-
"Next thing you know, we're the new Falk and Zane!"
-
"Oh god no! Please no!" He cried. The jeep continued on and on, until eventually the reached the castle once more... [spoiler]End! Sorry this wasn't too exciting. It's more set up for a much crazier quest later.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Hey man, it's no problem! [/spoiler]
