Eliot while fixing his cloths told Desmond "everyone that came here is pretty much doing there own thing. Some stayed together and formed groups while the less lucky ones where captured by the magi. I currently have no Idea what they are doing with the souls they captured, but I assume its nothing good".
Desmond always had thought being captured and experimented on was a possibility if someone discovered him since many people don't like things that are different from them. Desmond has also seen a few books that reference other mages experiments, so he knew they were no strangers to experimenting on souls, people, and a large number of other things.
Desmond was about to ask another question when Eliot spoke first. "Now that I have answered your question I want you to do someone for me".
Desmond wondering what it could be replied, "what do you want me to do?"
"Its simple I just want you to look up"
Desmond didn't know why Eliot would request some thing so strange he though Eliot might try to attack him when he did. Then he remember Eliot still held an advantage over Desmond despite Desmond knowing magic. So, at the range they where at now Eliot could bring Desmond to his knees once more.
Not putting any more thought into such a simple request Desmond looked up and only saw a blue sky, some clouds and the moon peaking out from behind them. After satisfing Eliot request Desmond saw a puzzle look on Eliot face.
"This is quite interesting, you really don't see anything do you?".
Desmond not knowing what Eliot was trying to get at asked him, "what am I suppose to see?"
Eliot laughed at that question "You have no Idea how lucky you are, what your suppose to see is eternity. If lying to me you wouldn't be standing up right now completely unfazed by whats up there".
Desmond some what grasping at what Eliot was implying said to him, "What do you see?"
"What do I see well that I'm not going to tell you partly because you destroyed my heart, but I don't want to come off as petty so lets call it an intiation. Everyone else went through it I just don't want to spoil all the fun you will have when you finally see it to.
What ever is keeping you from witnessing all the wonderful things I am most likely won't last long. So, enjoy this peaceful life you have been having and all that extra sleep because you'll miss it".
Desmond scoffed at what Eliot said because he has not been living a peaceful life at all so what can be worse than the life he has been living now.
"Well then I think were both done here I was going to ask you if you where willing to join a little project that I typically do when I go to different planets, but from the looks of things you're not ready for such a commitment."
"You never even asked me so how can you tell?".
"The reason I can tell Is because I'm a people person thats how I know you haven't seen whats on the other side of the rainbow, but people can change out of everyone know people can change. Not into who people think or want you to be, but into who they have always been deep down inside. So, If you ever stop playing around and find out who you really are make some noise I'll follow the bodies you leave behind or we will meet up again randomly who knows".
Eliot then let out a crazy laugh confirming what Desmond already knew, that Eliot was dangerous and he shouldn't get involved with him. Yet, its not like Desmond has had any luck avoiding danger before so who knows what will happen.
Desmond wanted more answers from Eliot, but Eliot didn't care about Desmond just because they strangly wound up in the same place together. He only wanted to inspect Desmond's character and Eliot was disappointed in what he saw. Eliot left soon after that leaving Desmond in the ally with more questions in his head than he got answers.
