[spoiler]Hey! Again I have her permission. This also includes a character from foxburton99's story "Ten Thousand Arms" I have his permission too.[/spoiler] Shadow sighed and looked up to Koran, his eyes so like hers, but... Also so different. "It's fine," she said, starting to giggle, "Just make sure you knock next time!" At this Koran started laughing. "Common, you needed to see Variks right!" Shadow said, beaming to the exo.  They walked back through the door to Variks's quarters. Variks, now fully clothed, was sat at the end of his bed. Koran saw him stow a small purple crystal in a box, Shadow had apparently missed it. "Ah, you're back Shadowww," Variks said, looking at his Guardian. "Yes *ahem* Variks, this is Koran-5," she replied, gesturing to the exo stood beside her, "He needed to talk to you." "Yessssss..." Variks prompted. "Petra Venj told me to come talk to you."  Koran straightened his posture. "About this," he continued, holding up a small device with a peice of blue cloth. "Ah, Shadow if you could leave us alone for a minute," Variks purred, looking at the device with a curious stare. "Yes Variks," Shadow said and she tuned and left, leaving the two in silence. Variks spoke up first, "Hand it here" Koran extended his arm and dropped the device in Variks's outstretched hand. "You should give it to her," Koran started  Variks turned his gaze from the small device to Koran. "I didn't know you saw ittt..." Variks spoke slowly. "It's beautiful, she'd love it," Koran said, trying to ease the tension. "No, not yet!" Variks yelled, almost too loud. "Why not?" Koran asked incredulously. "Because it is not the time, yessss," Variks held the small device up to Koran, "It is a message."  "A message?" He asked, accepting the device. "From who?" "First you must promise, yes... Promise not to tell Shadow about the amethyst," Variks said, blinking his secondary eyes. Koran nodded his head and Variks tapped one clawed finger against the device. A voice filled the room. It was similar to Variks's own voice so Koran guessed it was a Eliksni.  "I am Vasik, a house wolves dreg... The wolves are rebelling, I hope the Awoken find this... Their leader is Skolas, stop them yes... They take me to old house, House Devils. Their location is marked," a loud bang drowns out Vasik's voice and Fallen chatter fills the room. Shadow rushes in to the room gun drawn. "Variks, are you okay?" She asked, pointing the barrel of her gun at Koran.  Variks and Shadow's eyes meet, Variks nods and Shadow holsters the hand cannon. "What were those sounds?" She asked, casting a sidelong glare at Koran. "It was a recording Shadowww..." She could hear Variks's mandibles click as he said this. "What message?" She leaned closer, anticipating an answer. Koran finally spoke, "It was just a warning from a Dreg. Kinda late now." "Then why was it so loud?" She persisted.  Koran let out a long exasperated sigh. "Because the Dreg was captured by the other fallen!" He yelled, his "temper" was in control again. His Ghost, Silver appeared in front of him, "Koran! Calm down, she didn't mean to upset you!" Silver said. Koran's eyes witch had shifted from orange to a dark red slowly turned blue, then back to their original orange. Before they could ask questions Silverstarted speaking. "Hi, sorry about that, I'm Silver!"  Shadow sat on the bed as Silver explained Koran's sudden outburst. "When he was human he had a laundry list of mental disorders, they didn't transfer to Exomind very well. Now he has his outbursts," Silver finished. Shadow looked over at Koran. He was sat in the corner of the room with his head between his knees, rocking back and forth. "Well... We all have our problems, it's o--" Glitch appeared and cut her off. "PROBLEMS?! HE COULD HAVE KILLED YOU!"  In the corner Koran stirred at the sound of the raging Ghost. He stood and looked to Variks, "Thanks for your time," he said, tossing the Vandal a hefty sack of glimmer. "Come on Silver!" [spoiler]This is probably where this ends. Since it isn't the actual storyline for either continuing it over my other projects seems silly.[/spoiler] [quote]Thank you ShadowHeartMC and foxburton99 for letting me use your characters.[/quote]
