"Or perhaps the logical thing would be that I would not want you to be worried. That, perhaps, I don't know what is wrong." He closed his blue eye, finding it hard to focus with it. Along the side of is face familiar markins began to appear. "You did the same thing before I fought with Yawgmoth. You told him that you thought I was keeping something from you, but did you ever ask me about such things? Have you ever trusted me?" His mind was becoming fuzzy, horrible memories forcing themselves into his mind. Not even waiting for a responce he spoke again. "I... need to be alone for a little while..." Opening his other eye, he slowly began to go down the hallway, actually having to use the wall to make sure he did not fall.

Listening to him, it was clear by the expression on her face that she was heartbroken from his words. But when he said he needed to be alone, she shut away all her thoughts and feelings on the subject. There was but one truth now; Reeve wanted to be alone. Lowering her gaze to the floor, she gave a small nod. "As you wish." was all she said. She watched as he disappeared down the hallway then slowly turned and exited the way young Reeve had brought her in, disappearing to home with a small pop.

Reeve never did make it to his room. Mere seconds after she left he hit the ground, holding his chest in pain. Blood poured out of his mouth for a moment before the pain finally went away for a moment. There was pain everywhere, but why? Normally pain would be nothing to him, just a trick of the mind which could easily be ignored, but this... Feeling wetness on the back os shirt made him realize something; wounds had begun to open on his body. Not wanting anyone to find him like this he stood again and placed his hand ona section of wall. The section pushed in like a button, and suddenly a voice appeared over the speakers. 'Lock Down Mode; Starting.' As soon as that was said all the entrances into the Volcano became sealed, ensuring his privacy.

A large, lion like beast ran through the trees to the enterance of the cave. There was a large sheet of metal, stopping it from going any further. No matter... Suddenly a huge red aura surrounded it, and it made a move to ram the metal head-on. As soon as the aura touched the metal, it shattered the metal into thousands of small pieces. And so the creature ran through the cave, eliminating anything that got in it's way.

The beast finally burst through the main door and looked around. It expected to find a dead body, but instead it saw a man trying to stand up using the wall... well, perhaps it was not a man. The figure's skin was paler than normal, its body covered with strange markings. It had large, black claws and black horns coming from the top of its head. Two huge wings came from its back. One was black while covered in scales and leathery skin, but the other was pure white with feathers. Occasionaly on the white wing there were black feathers too, as there was silver scales on the black wing. 'Are you alright?' The beast asked though telempathy, keeping distance.
"No..." Reeve said as he tried again to stand. "I hurt, I've changed and I said some horrible things to Ziven..." A crack suddenly went through the air as he toppeled onto the ground again. "And my bones have become brittle from the transformation... not to mention these monstrosities are heavier than ********..." He choked out, biting his tounge from the pain in his legs and arms.

Lowering the aura, the beast walked over to Reeve and knelt down. 'Get on, I will carry you to your bed...' It did not intend to tell Reeve about Ziven's trip to the other realm, nor about the look in her eyes when the Master was talking to her. It was... not a look to be explained.
Reeve grabbed hold of the beast and pulled himself onto it. The wings were troublesome, but he managed. Soon the beast started to walk to his room, but there seemed to be something off inside the beast's mind. "What is wrong Mask? Has something happened?"

With a small pop, Ziven appeared just outside the volcano of Reeve's home. She was determined to find him again after the conversations she had. Walking back in the way she remembered, she felt like there was something to expect but there was nothing .. but then .. it seemed someone had forced their entry to his home. "Reeve?" she called, sounding worried, not quite knowing where to begin. Though her memory was good to recall the rooms she had been to, there was very little she knew about his home and she was unsure where to look, but look she did as she moved around the house, calling his name more.

Once to the room, Reeve pulled himself onto the bed. He tried to lay down for a moment, but found himself unable to do so because of the wings. Grumbling something, he sighed then heard his name being called. "First room down the hall!" He yelled back automitically. His legs looked to be in horrible condition... not that his body was any better. Covering himself with a blanket he waited, the beast sitting at his side.

"Greetin.." she began to greet the pair warmly, at first glance, all seemed well as the moment until she was able to get a closer look. With Reeve covered by a blanket, she could not truly see what his condition was. Not asking permission, she too was at Reeve's side s well as Masks. Blue eyes looked at him with somber concern and curiosity. "Are you alright? Is there anything you require?"

"I am..." Reeve was about to say alright as an immediate responce, but he was not alright. What was the point of saying he was? "... In a lot of pain, actually." Having managed to cover himself up pretty well, there really seemed to be nothing out of place; except for his horns. Two long black horns that came from his upper-forehead were still quite visible. Somehow though, he had managed to hide his wings. "Listen Ziven, I want to apologize for the things I said when you were last here. I did not know what was wrong with me and... well, I am glad you were not here to witness what happened." He smiled slightly, his blue eye focusing on her. His other eye was closed, and for good reason.

Lowering herself to her knees beside him, she did not take her eyes from him. "May I ease your pain? If not with magic, I carry also the medicine that relieves pain." she replied watching him quietly as he spoke more. The expression on her face did not change as he continued. She nodded her head. "Apology accepted. Yet I too will apologize, I should not have left you." she said softly, lowering her head now in respect to show she was sincerely apologetic.

Reeve shook his head a bit. "No, I would not have wanted to to stay... But it would be nice to get rid of some of this pain." He smiled slightly, deciding to remove the blanket. What was the point of covering up his changes? She would just see them anyway... "We will go outside and use magik... I do not know if normal medicine will help with such wounds." Pulling off the blanket, she could now fully see his wings. The markings on his body were all connected, seemngly forming some kind of spell. There were random wounds all over his chest and back, and his left leg was obviously injured; the bone poking the skin a bit. However, his right leg looked fine. Seeing this, Reeve turned and stepped off the bed slowly. His right knee popped a bit, but it did not seem painfull.
The beast jumped up and growled at Reeve in protest, not wanting him to move in the state he was in.

Moving when he did, she held her arms where she could at least steady him if not catch him, seeing that he was in truly bad condition. Her eyes were pleading, filled with concern looking at Reeve as she spoke, but not to Reeve. "Mask .. will you please carry him?" she asked softly, assuming she did not truly need to ask this. Slowly she allowed herself to look at Reeve more, realizing that he was quite different. Her eyes softened for a moment, feelings of empathy for going through changes shown, even though she had not gone through anything near like what he had. But nearly as quickly as this change in expression happened, another swept over her eyes, looking rather stern as she decided she was determined to help him through this.

Mask nodded and suddenly spun, hitting Reeve's only good leg. Its tail wrapped around Reeve's waist and forced him onto the beast's back.
Reeve wobbled slightly, about to shift hie weight to his other leg when he fell onto Mask. He grunted slightly and tried to make himself a bit more comfortable. "You could have just asked..." He muttered before looking back at Ziven. She had a strange look on her face... "What's on your mind?" He asked her as the beast began walking.

Shock and concern now shown on her face until she realized that Reeve was alright. She shown a small smile now, bobbing her head. Taking a few steps back, she allowed for Mask and Reeve to pass through first. "I am concerned for your well being. The dragon man said that most would die from something like this. It seems that both you and young Reeve, or as he called him number two, are being affected in the same way. There is much to know still of what has happened to you. It seems that you are recovering yet still affected. I worry that I will be able to help very little. And .. I worry that you may become upset if I cannot, if not out of disappointment of my efforts then of frustration of the circumstances of your transformation." she said, her voice growing increasingly quiet as she went on, fearing that her words might upset him but not wanting to stop herself, knowing that he would likely say something about her keeping things from him. She lowered her gaze, not wanting to look either Reeve nor Mask in the eye as she said this.
