She shook her head, not liking what Gix was saying. She did not like how this was going and hoped this would be the end of it. Not knowing what they all might say, she remained silent, observing their conversation.

"But see, he is already hass the upper hand. Look at the floor." The boy said, pointing down. On the ground there was a large, intricate symbol and Gix was standing in the dead center of it. "It's been there since I got here, and it would generate a magnetic field that could easily pull a creature like you to the ground." The boy smiled, tilting his head to the side. "And the magnetic field adapts itself to the alloy of the metal, so no matter how advanced you think you are... you'll still be rendered immoble and your weapons unuseable." The boy sat on the counter and smiled at Gix. "But I dun' want you guys to fight, so lets just forget this ever happened... okay?"
Soloman chuckled slightly and tipped the bottle to his lips again.

Gix peered down and began to chuckle as the boy explained what the symbol would do. "Then you two know absolutely nothing of phyrexian alloy. It is not magnetic, nor is it very conductive of electricity. All of the common weaknesses of metal have been eliminated. So even if your pretty magic symbol can magnetize on different metals, non-magnetic means just that. Period." Gix said with an even harder laugh. Honestly how dense did this pair think he was. For that matter, how dense did they think Yawgmoth was? Since Gix's patron had designed and created himself almost all elements of every phyrexian it was his ingenious alloy that coated them, that made their armor and their weapons. Gix was merely wearing the very same metal as his skin, using it to its full advantages. "Hear this now. I am stronger. I am faster. I am better than either of you could ever aspire to be no matter what land of denial you wish to live in and believe in. I, however, have business to attend to. If your friend 'soloman' wishes to make the futile attempt at besting me in combat. He is free to do so at another time of his choosing. Simply relay the message to this girl here. Seeing as she knows my patron god, he will inform me of your challenge. And I will gladly kill you. Good day gentlement. Ziven." Gix finished with a large proud smile as the air around him heated and he vanished into a rift portal that ripped itself open. The portal stayed open for a few moments after it had sucked in the preator, but then closed itself shut again. The doorway to Phyrexia gone.

Looking between Gix and the pair, she wondered if this would be the end of their discussion. Wanting to encourage this idea, she nodded her head. "Indeed, let us all move forward. They are not the reason Mr Yawgmoth is in the condition he is presently." she said softly, yet Gix persisted.
After he finished he bid them farewell and was gone. She looked to the pair now. A sad, worried expression on her face. "Please .. I cannot bear the thought of watching you die again. Please do not fight Gix nor Yawgmoth again." she said very quietly, lowering her head slightly. She knew this request would likely be viewed as unreasonable or foolish. She did not care, she had to try.

"Cocky little son of a b***h." Soloman muttered, snapping his fingers. For a moment nothing seemed to happen, then suddenly lightning-like bolts shot from the ground and wrapped itself around a support beam. The energy turned a red color and the beam actually seemed to dip down, as if it were attracked to the ground.
"What I didn't tell him is it also adapts to anything else inside the symbol, meaning he doesn't have to be magnetic to get effected... Hell, anything will get stuck to the ground." The boy giggled and suddenly the symbol was gone.
(Edit smile The boy looked at Ziven curiously. "Alright, we're sorry." He smiled and gave her the thumbs up sign.

Ziven jumped, taking several steps away from the support beam that was now engulfed in energy. Shaking her head a bit, she now looked afraid. Having been standing near to Gix so they could speak, to have created this .. rune or whatever it was on the floor when it was so near to her also seemed completely reckless. Then there was the matter of what it actually was capable of. At first it sounded like a fancy magical magnet but then it began to sound more like a black hole. She wondered just how familiar he was with his own magic and abilities.
Taking a moment to itch her right ear, she looked at them both, eyes still filled with confusion and concern. "You would place me in danger simply to try to get to someone you do not care for?"

"Of course not!" The boy said, shaking his head rapidly. "We already took precautions to make sure we could never harm you, even by accident. First off, Soloman here has complete control of..." Reeve looked at her expression... The fear on her face. For a moment his eyes seemed to well with tears, then the boy disappeared.
Soloman saw the boy leave and almost instanly sobered up. he placed the bottle down and shook his head. "I have to focus on the thing in order for the magiks to work... If I don't focus on you then nothing can happen to you. Also, the necklace Reeve gave you nullifies our magiks, so we couldn't hurt you even if we wanted to." He did not look at her, and instead headed to the door... then he stopped. "That look... that is the reason Reeve distances himself from people. He is afraid of hurting them, and afraid of them being afraid of him... That may be the ony thing the three of us share in personality. Goodbye." And with that he walked out, his head hung low.

"Please .." she began, wanting to explain. It was too late, Reeve had left and Soloman was on his way out. "Wait please?" she called to him, following after but not knowing if he would.

Slowly the great doors to the bar creaked open. Quickly scanning the room, he came to the conclusion that he was alone and a mischevious grin crossed his lips with the idea of what to do now that he got in. Determined not to be put out by the idea of being alone in this new place, he went behind the bar, deciding to start searching the shelves for something interesting.

Ziven stepped in to the bar through a rift that Reeve had created. Taking but a few steps in to the room, she turned watch the rift, expecting Reeve to exit also. As she stood there, she again itched her ears, then looked around the bar to see if others were present.

Reeve walked out of the rift and waved to the large beast, then the portal closed. He turned to her and smiled. "So, what did you think of that place?"

"Hollow, dark in mysterious yet intriguing ways .. and beautiful architecture." she replied honestly, with a light smile. Taking a deep breath, she realized that she was feeling unusual after that experience. Turning to toward the nearest couch, she seated herself there and patted the seat next to her. "Shall we sit a while? Would you care for something to eat or drink?" she asked kindly.

"Yeah, the people there do like to make things fancy." The boy said smiling. When Ziven patted the seat next to her he climbed up onto the couch and sat down. "Something to eat would be nice! I don't think I've eaten since I got this body." He looked at her and smiled.

"Oh my! That must be rectified immediately!" she said with a giggle. Thinking for a moment, she realized she had no idea what his favorite food might be. "What would you like then? It should be your favorite thing to eat, I think. With this being the first time you are to eat, it should be something special."

"My favorie thing?" The boy asked as he tilted his head. "I guess meat... I never really got to be picky with the stuff I ate." He smiled to her. For a second something under his shirt seemed to glow, but that glow quickly faded away.
