"I didn't want to finish it." Lilly said sombrely as the train went through the city. It had to make some stops and pick up more passengers.

"You know some Of your Family troops shot Joseph? Thought I'd let you know that he might not make it. And he's on your side." Royal suddenly blurted out, leaning back in the chair
-
"Wh-what?" Lilly asked as she turned to Royal. Her face was full of worry as her eyes were glossy.
-
"Joseph wanted to come find you with me, so we went to visit The Shadow back in Teluria. While in her bar, a couple of Coldbourne troops showed up. Shot at us. Joseph was hit...."
-
"Oh...oh no...." Lilly whispered as she looked down at her feet.
-
"What does that tell you about your family? First your own brother, now one of your own troops..."
-
"That they are willing to get me back...no matter what..." she said softly as she turned her head out to the cityscape again.
-
"Maybe it's a sign that you shouldn't. What is going to happen to them is inevitable. You don't need to be involved in that...."
-
"I don't know what you're talking about." She told Royal stubbornly. The girl was determined to not believe what Roy was saying. All he had to do was break through to her. Somehow...
-
"Oh? Lilly. Where are you going right now? You've gotten on this train. What's the destination?" He asked calmly, looking up at the ceiling of the train car
-
"I...I don't want to tell you that Royal." She said to him.
-
"You don't? Well here's what I think. You're not going anywhere. I mean, where could you go, right? Runt of the pack, Diana is hallway across the world. Cain is who knows where, Felix and the other one have their own stuff to take care of. So who's left for you to go to?"
-
"You're wrong I can go to them!" Lilly told Roy. She realized what she said and looked at him in surprise before she turned back to the window again.
-
"Lilly. Where are you going? Tell me where you going and hell, I'll get off the train. Let you be on your way. Never bother you again."
-
"I think you should stay on the train, actually." Lilly told Roy. But it sounded very...suspicious.
-
"Oh? Sounds ominous. I like it. Because I'm ready to accept my fate. Maybe you should learn to as well." Royal said, turning his head to look at Lilly
-
"Oh, ya! Of course!" Lilly agreed as she turned her head to Roy. He couldn't help but notice the adorable grin on her face. ...as well as the drop in temperature.
-
"I won't fight you, if that's what you're aiming for. I'm not going to raise my blade against you." Royal said with a small sigh, closing his eyes. It was true what he said. He was ready to accept whatever was coming towards him. 11,000 years does that to a person
-
"Oh I'm not fighting you either Royal. Don't worry!" Lilly confirmed as she nodded her head. "But...I am gunna have to leave you here." Suddenly, Roy's foot became freezing cold. As he looked down he saw that Lilly had frozen his foot in ice to the ground as she suddenly reached for the bars on the roof of the car and pulled herself out of her seat. She propelled herself into the aisle and began to sprint towards the front of the cart and opened the door.

-
The ice cracked but didn't completely shatter. Lilly bolted out the door of the cart and everyone looked at Royal weirdly.
-
He thrashed his foot around the ice, continuing to stab at it different locations to free himself from it
-
The ice finally shattered which allowed him to move again. Now...he had to catch up to Lilly. The train was moving so she couldn't have jumped or gotten off of it.
-
He jumped to his feet, running to the front of the car and pulling the door open, moving into the space that is between cars. He pulled open the door of the adjacent car and made his way into the new area of the train

She looked back and saw Roy before he saw the girl start to... Climb, on top of the train. She jumped from one car to the next and scaled onto the roof of the car ahead of Roy's.

Edited by Royal Blade: 5/2/2017 2:41:18 AM"Oh this is just.... Terrific." He said to himself as he sprinted down the car and skidding to a halt at the car door. He pulled it open and moved into the space between the trains. He jumped up and grabbed the top of his train car with his hands, pulling himself up to the top of the car
