( Whispers Bargaining Emporium )

After explaining their thought process to the others in the group they all go silent in thought for a bit.

"If this gets out, no when this gets out this could cause mass hysteria. people entire families could be dead and they would be none the wiser. It could be august fifth all over again." Luke explains.

"Well the good thing about this whole dilemma is that we seem to be the only ones in An-diva that know what happened after the Towers fell." Lola voices

"We should go tell Mia and Jere, they might have had a family that died during the fall." Makoa comments.

Everyone looks back and fourth at each other for a while before they all look back at makoa

"What?"

"I think we're just thinking that... the chances of... them..." Lola says before Luke cuts in

"She's trying to say that, that they don't got no more family left."

"Hey!"

"I'm just saying what we're all thinkin'." Luke responds.

"Some things can be said with some more class Luke, geez." Cecil says.

Luke crosses his arms and leg and motions his fingers across his lips like zipping up like a zipper.

"But in this situation I do think that they're right. When you think about it they're only here with Ms.Rere, and they came in the first wave of the Tower draft. The type of people who came in the first tower draft were the usual criminals and..."

"People who have nothing to lose." Elijah interjects.

"I get what you're saying but that's just speculation without hard evidence, and they deserve to know just in case." Makoa says.

"I'm not saying they don't deserve to ,but... it's been a long day; don't you think we deserve some rest too," Cecil voiced.

"But they..." Makoa says before being cut off by Elijah

"Hey, don't worry about it bro, I'll tell them first thing in the morning. You out of all of us deserve and need a good rest. We owe it to ourselves for surviving so long. Right?" Elijah replied.

"Yeah uh... yeah your right. You're usually right." Makoa uttered.

"You flatter me, but actually you should lay down and wait for Ms.Rere and her... uh elixir or potion or whatever it is." Elijah comments.

As Elijah said this, footsteps can start to be heard from the outer hallway, to opening the door to the inner hallway, and finally opening the door to the room.

"Ah, I got your eliar Makoa, this'll accelerate your red blood cell reproduction by 10 times by increasing your internal manoah output. In a couple days you'll feel brand new." Ms.Rere says tenderly.

"Wait won't this make my eyes stronger? What if i start seeing the visions again."

"trust me the elixir doesn't work that way. It has something to do with it being internal and not external, or something like that. My granddaughters could probably explain it better than i could ever; ask them in the morning." Rere says a bit confused.

"Ok, um thank you for all your help mam." Makoa says.

"Oh, don't worry about it honey, it's all in a day's work. You all rest up now you have full days ahead of you." Rere says this before walking back out the door and closing it behind her.

Makoa pops the cork of the glass bottle to reveal a glistening amber liquid. He takes a quick sip of the elixir before gagging and reluctantly swallows it.

"That tastes like cat piss. No sorry, expired cat piss." Makoa says disgusted.

"I bet you won't chug the whole thing." Elijah says daringly.

"Yeah you're right I think id rather drink a whole tub of mayo before doing that."

"No balls." Luke says

Makoa looks at Luke and then looks at Elijah before looking back at the elixir. He chugs the elixir, drinking it until the last drop. He drops the bottle on the white comforter as he starts to convulse on the bed.

"Makoa! Makoa what wrong!" Elijah says as he runs over to Makoas bed and holds him by his shoulders.

"Lola get over here and help me! Cecil go get help! Luke I need you too..." 

Luke looks over to Elijah with a neutral expression and says "hes fucking with you."

Elijah looks confused for a moment before feeling the convulsing stop, and looking down to see Makoa with a huge smirk on his face.

"Not funny dude." Elijah says aggravated, while punching Makoa in the chest. He then goes to walk back to his bed and buries him self under his covers

"Oh come on it was a little funny." Makoa says joyfully.

"Nope not funny at all." Elijah interjects.

"I mean it's kinda your fault for falling for it." Lola comments

"Oh sorry, it's my mistake that I care for my friends'well-being." Elijah says while exploding out of the covers.

"But this is like the, what fifth time you've fallen for this exact trick. I would understand if he were to mix up the approach a bit but no, the same act, the same joke." Cecil explains.

Elijah goes back under the covers and pouts before cecil smiles and walks over to elijah. 

She then sits on the side of Elijah's bed before and pats his head through the covers before talking to Elijah. "But that's what I love about you. You care about your team like there your family. You can be a bit brash at times but its all for a good reason. I guess you could say you're gullible and lovable." Cecil says before giving Elijah a peck on the cheek through the cover.

"Eeeuuuuuuuhhh." Makoa whispers while motioning him throwing up as luke chuckles a bit.

Cecil puts the middle finger up towards Makoa and luke before walking back to her bed. Elijah starts to blush under his cover very hard as he feels the place Cecil kissed him on before coming from under the blankets.

"You know almost dying five times in one day can make a girl tired, it just so happens that that girl is me so imma go to bed before i die of sleep deprivation. Is that alright with all of you."

Every nods their heads before Lola gets up and walks toward the rune on the wall. After a bit of confusion with trying to operate the mechanism she eventually slides her hand down the rune and the crystal lights dim with them sliding of her hand.

"I always wanted a dimmer. This is officially ten times better then anything that was at the barracks." Luke sasy excitingly.

After messing with the dimmer for a bit she slides it all the way down, turning the light all the way off before slowly walking back to her bed and getting under the covers.

Everyone starts to settle down and get comfortable before Cecil says "Yawn, Good night everyone."

everyone says "Night" at the same times before silence overtakes the room.

"I'm really glad you all made it." Elijah says somberly

The silence takes over the room once again before Makoa says "Yeah me too".

Elijah smiles before closing his eyes and slowly drifting off to sleep.

...

Opening his eyes groggy Elijah finds himself no longer in his bed, or in the Old Rock inn. All around him is pitch black except for a building in the distance west of him.

'What the hell is that?' Elijah thinks to him self while squinting to get a better look at the building. The building is wide and has a single story, the building is built of bricks, clay, and old cement. Elijah gets up off the floor and starts to walk towards the building. the closer he gets he can see a double door and i front of it has a large sign. Elijah gets to in front of the door before seeing what the large sign says.
