"I...I would never..." he began. He bowed his head almost shamefully. "I can't betray the family...even though they did what they did to my brother."

"Well, I'm not gonna kill you. So find someone else to do it."

Edited by Inflatablepants: 6/7/2017 1:13:31 AM"You are such an asshole." Cain told Tubbs as he winced in pain. "To think I could be bested by an honourable man. I suppose I don't deserve such luck after what I have done."
-
"Oh ok. I see. I'm the bad guy because I won't kill you! Tell me, is all your family this pathetic? I mean, I know Deity was. Anyways, what did you mean with the whole" He proceeded using a terrible Cain impression. "I don't deserve this blah blah blah."
-
"Did you not even know why you came here to begin with?!" Cain asked him. "I had my brother killed! This was after eight thousand years of being a corpse! I didn't get to greet him properly, or say hello. My brother Felix had other plans. He and my father Tywin plotted and had Alex killed publicly, and could I do anything? Of course I could have. But I did nothing...absolutely nothing." Cain actually began to shed tears which streamed down his blood stained face. "I stood there....just...stood there and held my little sister Lilly back while my father executed my younger brother." He looked back up at Tubbs. "Don't you see?! Don't you see why you have to kill me?! If not that, then how about Ite? Or Bjorn?! Were they not your allies?! Stop...stop standing around like I did at the castle! END THIS! PLEASE!"
-
"You know what? You're right. I should kill you. But I won't. You let your brother die. And now you got to live with that for the rest of your life. And that's far worse punishment than death." [spoiler]straight savage[/spoiler]

He looked back to the ground. "You-" "CAIN!" A voice suddenly cried out. It was a girls voice, not yet matured from what Tubbs heard and as he turned his head he saw a small girl with white hair sprinting towards the two. Cain looked up at the oncoming figure with squinted eyes as a dawn of realization came over his face. "Lilly...?!" He said with a confused manner. This girl was now immediately confirmed to Tubbs as Lilly Coldbourne, the youngest of the siblings. Royal had been sent out on a quest to find her so... How was she here? Running towards him?
-
"Hold up. What were you gonna say before she came?"
-
He didn't answer Tubbs as Lilly rain up and put her hands around Cains shoulders and hugged him. She was shorter, about 5'4 if Tubbs could size her up. She wore a white coat and pants along with her white boots. She had ashen hair, like her brother, and she shared features with him like the high cheekbones and blue eyes. "Don't hurt him! Please don't hurt him any more sir!" She begged Tubbs as she continued to hug Cain. Cain looked past her as he hugged his sister towards Tubbs. "I...don't think you need to worry about that Lilly." He told his sister.
-
"Where did you come from anyways? You interrupted our conversation." [spoiler]i thought there was like a ring of fire around us[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]that came down in the last chapter[/spoiler] "What?" Lilly asked as she turned around. "O-oh. Right. Well I came from the south, looking for Cain, and I was told by the villagers in the town that they saw something going on over h-here. So here I am!" "Lilly?! What ARE you doing here?" Cain asked her. "You were supposed to be in the Ko Rudo mountains!" "Well I'm not there anymore!" "Yes, clearly, but WHY are you here?!" Lilly looked to the ground. Tubbs noticed the girl starting to breath heavily, and her arms began to shake ever so slightly.
-
"Uh... you ok?"
-
"Y-ya I'm...I'm okay." Lilly told Tubbs unconvincingly. "Lilly, what is the matter? Why are you here?" Cain asked her. Lilly looked at the ground for a moment, before she burst out with her answer. "I was at North peak when suddenly this guy named royal came by telling me to Leave you guys and that got me upset! So I suddenly like exploded or something and woke up in an alleyway across the world in Teluria where I decided "hey I should go see Diana for help!" So after like a few days of wandering around the city aimlessly I found out that trains were a thing so I got on a train that would take me to the coast so I could board a boat but then Royal came out of no where and I ran from him and escaped then got on a boat-" She took a breath then continued. "Where I arrived at south Tatakoi to go see Diana who was in the Kakusa woods but when I got there some cult found me and then I saw Diana who was leading the cult and she had me taken and imprisoned in a shack because apparently I was too dangerous and she was mean and I hate her and the cult was gunna hurt me but then royal came in to save me and he did and now I'm here to tell you to STOP HELPING DAD!" She finished with a massive breath and her face was red from lack of oxygen. Cain Blinked at her slowly as he took in the information.
-
"Well... that was uh... interesting."
-
"It was something that's for sure." Cain also remarked. He looked at Lilly now, a buildup of confusion and anger in his eyes. "Lilly. Are you certain that is how your interaction with Diana happened?" "Yes! I was there!" "I can't believe it." "What?!" "Our family wouldn't do that Lilly. Not to you, it makes no sense!" "Well guess what, Cain! They killed Alex after we came back from the dead! So I think they are fully capable of kidnapping their own sister and keeping her prisoner!" "But....agh...." Cain let out as he looked to the ground. It seemed that Lilly was on the side of the dojo, and that she was making her way through to Cain....
-
"Family of the year award goes to... drum roll please." There's somehow a drum roll. "Any family but yours."
-
"Hey!" Lilly yelled at Tubbs. "That's.... Err...well I suppose there is some truth there. But that's why we have to stop the rest of them." Lilly told Tubbs as she turned to Cain. "Cain. I can't fathom working with our family before. It's corrupted, it's evil! I can't be apart of that! And neither should you!" "I can't just leave my family Lilly!" Cain snapped at her. This made her jolt up in we stance, but then she got closer to Cain. "Cain...you won't be. You'll be with me!" Cain looked around, as if he was searching for answers. He began to shake his head for a moment until he stopped. Then, he looked to his sister "I...suppose that is reason enough, then."
-
"Wait? You're on our side now? I just fought you for no reason? I could've been chilling at home until she found you. BUT NO! I had to come almost die! JUST TO FIND OUT IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING!"
-
"Wrong." Cain told Tubbs. "If you hadn't come to beat me down, I doubt anyone could have convinced me to help you. Even my sister." Cain told Tubbs. "Though...the thought of relaxing right now is very appealing." "Cain! We need to get you to a hospital!" The man's sister told him. "Yes..that would be a good idea probably." Cain tried to stand up, but nearly fell before Lilly quickly dove under his arm and helped him.
-
"I could use a portal to take you back to the Dojo but I doubt the people there would be too happy to see you considering you killed 2 members..."
-
"Yes...you're right." Cain agreed. "We will Make our way to town. Maybe I can seek assistance there if I am lucky. I doubt people would recognize me without the armour."
-
Tubbs opened a portal to the town. And waited for them to step through first. [spoiler]to speed things up. In your next reply, go ahead and include me following them through the portal and closing it if you don't mind[/spoiler]
-
Cain and Lilly did so, and walked through the portal. Tubbs looked around, a little annoyed at what had just transpired. In the end however it was probably a good thing. With that, he stepped into the portal which closed behind him. [spoiler]The end[/spoiler]
