"Of course", Recko said, "I would be happy to help in anyway I can".

"Then it's settled" Safroth smiled as walked away with Recko to discuss the future of Central...
--End of Day 1--
--Start of Day 2--
Eleanore blinked her eyes. Everything was bluury, and for a second she couldn't remember who or where she was.
But she thought hard for a moment. There was hospital equipment around her. Did she get hurt in some way? Was everything just some sort of dream?
Suddenly, a hand placed itself on her hand. She gasped and pulled back, but it wouldn't let go, she began to scream-
"Eleanore!"
It was Safroth. She looked up it him with wide eyes.
"Did it really happen... The Demon War?"
Safroth looked confused for a moment, then realised she must be confused as well and nodded his head sympathetically.
Eleanore toom a while to grasp herself. She felt like crying, but she already knew those tears had been shed.
After Safroth explained that she had blacked out, she couldn't help but hug him. But she felt odd...
Guilt. She didn't know why, but she felt guilt. Then suddenly her mind flashed back to Bowen and she pulled herself away.
"Uh... Have you seen Bowen recently?" she asked
"The leader of the Rebellion's brother? Yes, I met with him yesterday"
Eleanore nodded her head, and smiled to Safroth, "Can I go?"
"I don't know, can you?"
She put a weak hand where her arm used to be and nodded slightly, "Sitting here won't do anything"

Siberius was feeling a little timid, he also was feeling quite annoyed that for the last few days he hadn't had any time to talk to anyone and was mostly on his own, he just wanted Montecore and Savannah back, two people that he could talk to, be happy around, and make him feel like the luckiest guy in the world, now he had no companions, no-one that could make him feel happy, and no-one to talk to, what was worse is he didn't know how he could manage to give a speech about losing everyone he loved.

((Umm he doesn't know that he's gonna be Emperor yet. He learns that today))
Eleanore took one step outside, the air stilled muffled with a little blood, but still holding the same familiar taste she remembered.
She stumbled down the stairs with Safroth.
"The Rebel Camp's this way" he pointed out.
Eleanore nodded, but something drew her attention away...
She knew there was still a massive amount of work to be done, but what was this?
100 or so men were carrying one huge piece of blackened metal across the street. She turned to Safroth, "What are they doing!?"
Safroth shrugged, "There's still so much more work to be done. Who knows what they could be carrying?"
Eleanore shook her head, and quickly began to walk in the direction they had come to.
Here everything was different. The smell became tainted, the streets more dark and the cries more audible.
"Eleanore, this is the slums! WE don't need to go this way!" Safroth warned
"But we must!" was all she replied, obviously irritated at him for pestering her.
She had grown different, she had her own rules now.

Siberius needed to get out of this place, the sadness was too much, he felt so angry that Sei's lust for power and rule made him blind to see all these peoples problems, but it was too late now, Siberius will come back here one day and help everyone, but right now he had to speak with Eleanore.

The scene worsened as she walked on, her image of Central changing with every pace.
She couldn't believe that even after all she'd been through, she'd been missing the picture the entire time.
Past the crying children, even further into the stained streets she went, when suddenly the smell of smoke filled her lungs. She came out into an open expanse, and she quite suddenly felt a stab of reminiscence.
This was where she had been when she first came to Central.
This was once her home.
But there was something wrong, and she noticed it all too quickly.
The trees that once stood in the centre of this large Square were all gone, the ground stained a dark black, with a huge shape lying ominously in the middle of it all.
Eleanore stared as people no more than peasants dragged ashen bodies out of the wreckage, and she wondered whether their Emperor lied there, never to be found again.
And her mind flew as it thought of all the people that had been lost, not just now, but ever.
And something changed within her.
She didn't cry, nor did she shed a tear, but she felt for them.
Suddenly she heard a noise next to her and she turned. She noticed Siberius off a bit in the distance, but before going to him she turned to Safroth.
"Did you know?" she asked, as they stared on at the wreckage of the once-great Phoenix.
Safroth shook his head, "I--I had no idea.. We'll have to get people out here straight away" he replied truthfully, leaving her side without another word.

((*deletes god-mod post and smites Claw*))
Bowen finished up and marked of reports of a house block being done. The Rebals and the Empire soliders made quick work working together. Bowen felt a tap on the shoulder. It was Recko. "Shouldn't you be goign and finding that girl of yours?", Recko asked with a smile. Bowen gave a puzzled look, Recko had never just let him go before, "go on", Recko reassured, "go, and thats an order, I'll finish up here". Bowen saluted and wandered off to find Eleanore.

((You really didn't post for ages though :/))
Eleanore watched Safroth leave.
He is a good person...
She turned eventually, to try to talk with Siberius, but he wasn't there anymore.
"That's strange..." she murmured she she began looking around where she thought she saw him...
In the darkness of the streets, tired eyes fluttered open, the first time in a while.
The Eyes sat up, head heavy. They tried to remember where they were, but the past hurt their head, empty spaces burned inside their mind, until they didn't try to remember anymore.
But they weren't alone... There was two pairs of eyes that day.

(( I only posted because you couldn't be bothered to, and I'll do it again if you take too long)).
Siberius walked through an alleyway that looked like it could lead to the Main part of Central, but unfortunately it didn't, and any way he would turn, the darkness and screams of pain would be all around him.
Siberius began to pick up his pace, getting a little anxious to get the hell out of their, now Siberius was running, trying to escape all this horror displayed in the slums of Central.

After about an hour of searching, Eleanore gave up. Reinforcements had gathered and begun helping clean up the Square. Eleanore decided to say goodbye once more to the Phoenix, to the Square, but she made sure she would come back again.
The Imperial Palace suddenly seemed a lot ore majestic and beautiful, which confused her. She had stayed their all her life, and it used to seem normal, but when she thought she had life bad, she really had it a lot better then most of the others.

Siberius was so desperate to get out of there, he didn't watch where he was going, and he found himself tripping on a loose tile in the ground. Siberius grumbled, the smell of this place and the mess around him made it harder for him to get back up, Siberius looked back, he saw a few people looking at him, people who's faces looked familiar, but Siberius just couldn't think probably, his mind was too clouded and focused on other things.

(( ((I'll post if he doesn't, he has till tomorrow.)) LOL That was 5 days ago)) Bowen began to move a little quicker, "Eleanore!", he called out repetedly, Central was so big, it was like she could be anywhere. But finally, Bowen came across a large busy square, and there, in the middle of all the bustle was Eleanore, wandering. He walked over to her. "I see your feeling better" Bowen said from behind Eleanore, she jumped and then turned and smiled when she saw it was him. "I've been looking for you for ages", Bowen said, "what is this place?" He asked, looking around. |
