"When..you...deal with Yawgmoth..endless patience..is the only way. Trust me." Titus responded to her last statement with a slight chuckle from his metallic belly. "I cannot...say I..have tiny creature. But then again...my mind..is always..clear...I do not...allow things...to cloud it. Tranquility...and peaceful mind...is the key..to long..happy lives. Something..I have...always intended..to have for..myself."

A soft smile played at her lips, listening to his desire for peace. "Aye, I also desire those things. I seem to forget this when my curiosity gets the best of me." Leaning her head back, she looked at the clouds drifting lazily across the sky. "What would you normally do on a day like today?"

The dreadnought seemed to be taken off by her response "What...would I do?" Titus thought for a moment "I..suppose..just what..I'm doing..now. Sitting...around..peacefully..Enjoying the terrain...which..where I am from..is usually mountains..and the valleys they hold...but what I do..and what you fleshy...types do..are very different." he finished.

"That I don't doubt. What I do on an average day is rather different than most I know to begin with. I like asking sometimes, especially when I cannot begin to imagine what one may do with their time." turning her head, she looked upon Titus once more.

"If I..told you..what I did..when I am..not enjoying...the terrain..I do believe...you would find me akin to..Yawgmoth..in many ways. But...you already understand..I was created..by him..reflecting some of his...traits..is a given in my..design" The dreadnought said softly. Titus was more speaking of going to war. How his kill count was very very high, how many people had been crushed, eaten, stomped on, trampled over or cut up by him was unimaginably high. But of course, as he told Ziven once, he did not go to war to kill unless the cause was just to him.

"I would imagine it is easy forget that detail about you, if I were one to be in your presence regularly. Even irregularly, since if you had not told me of your origins, I would not have believed it." she said softly. Pondering what more they could talk about her eyes again turned to the sky, alert yet relaxing. "Do you ever wonder what it would be like to be another person? To walk in another's shoes, as some may say."

"It is...the ones..who do not...speak of their..power that are..truly powerful. The only time...I will boast..is now tiny creature. I am...very capable and very...efficient at the...art of dismantling..and dismembering...fleshy types..and their funny war machines. That does not..however...mean..like Yawgmoth..I enjoy...such action...all the time.." Titus' eyes grew wicked filling over with a crimson red light. "All of us..all of my..brothers...all of my phyrexians...are designed as war machines..and in our basic...mind..we enjoy it. I too..have..found myself...sometimes lost..in the frenzy..but rarely..does it happen despite..my power." The dreadnought exhaled once more blowing a hot wind over Ziven and what was left of the tree behind her. "I would...not..want to be..in another's shoes..to be honest. I am...more than content..being who I am..and going with..the path..I have chosen."

Flashing a shy grin in his direction at his first statement, it did not last long with his next words. Something seemed to change for a moment in his expression. Given this clue, she rose from the ground and finally observed the changes in her surroundings. Gently she ran her fingertips over the smooth cut of the tree before observing Titus once again. When he exhaled again, she turned away from him for a moment, not wanting the hot wind in her face, but immediately turned back toward him once it calmed. When he finished speaking, she replied softly. "I do not feel the need to prove what I am capable of to everyone else. It is odd to know that most here pride themselves in proving who is best." her gaze shifted in the direction of the city nearby and she sighed lightly. "It is ironic, I suppose, knowing I could kill each and every one of them, along with every other living creature within my sight with a single thought."

Titus blinked for a second dumbfounded by her last statement before his laughter rumbled from his great mouth echoing over the distance. He finally calmed himself and said with a light chuckle "Forgive me...tiny creature...but that claim..is a bit..far fetched to believe." That giant gave one final snicker before saying sternly "I taunt...Yawgmoth..and I do not...agree with him...but he has..my respect...as the most..powerful creature...I have ever..contacted. Do not..underestimate the depths....for which he hides. Even he...does not..how far down..into his power he can dig...before it takes him over."

Ziven sighed heavily and could not help but feel disappointed that he laughed at her. Looking away from him, she replied. "Other than my master, I have yet to find someone who does not laugh when I confess this ability. I must admit it is irritating and disappointing for me every time. And people wonder why I have so little confidence. I once killed thousands of animals and insects surrounding me. Mind you it was unintentional, but the destruction was all my doing." she turned back to Titus, her face expressionless. "Not even for one moment have I doubted that he is capable of doing great things with his power -- usually terrible, but great."

"My power...is great...his is unfathomable tiny creature...whatever he has showed you thus far is...child's play..for his game with you..if he truly wanted you gone...or wanted you to do his bidding...he could." Titus said before giving a soft smile, at least, it appeared to be a smile. It was hard to tell "but do not...despair. I will...help you..overcome..but...I need...to go..home..my business here is..done..I believe..You will..be seeing me..again Ziven." At the last words titus called her by name. Something he rarely did to "tiny creatures". Titus seemed to glow with a bright light before vanishing before her eyes. A method of transport on the part of Phyrexia actually, not the dreadnought himself. He had merely signaled to his home world that he was ready to return and they brought him through their riftstone portals. A slight chuckle came from the distance behind her. "We see you've made yourself a friend. Titus does what he wants, when he wants. We do not condone your friendship with him, nor do we deny it. The dreadnought speaks only the truth however, if you are going to listen to him about us, hang on every word.." The voice of Yawgmoth said as the sound of his boots running over the grass came closer to her location. He had indeed been listening the whole time.

"Very well." she said softly with a smile at his correction. At the mention of needing to return home, she apparated to the tree tops again, perching lightly on the top most branches of a tall pine tree. Gracefully she bowed to him, but stood up rather sharply when he addressed her by name. Though she did not want to see him go, she smiled lightly with a farewell. "Until next we meet. It has been a pleasure and honor to meet you, Titus."
The sound of Yawgmoth's voice broke the silence almost the same instant that Titus left. She turned to see him running in her direction, though she had no idea why. Biting her bottom lip, she wondered if he had stayed to listen to their conversation.

"We are curious pet" Yawgmoth said looming around walking right beside the tree she sat in, His hand on his chin in though "The claim you made to Titus, can you really fulfill such a claim? Do you think you can kill that which is timeless. That which beings far greater in power than you have failed to do for eons upon eons?" he turned around sharp eyes glaring onto her tiny form. "We have to say, that claim rather annoys us...we think it's time you got a glimpse of what you're staring at" Yawgmoth's hand dropped from his chin and he jumped backwards several yards away. He knelt down on his knees and started to speak. In that weird language she had heard from his home world. His hands started glowing with a gloomy gray light. The sound of thunder in the distance came as clouds rolled in, thick and black blotting out the sun and the white clouds. The scene around the two of them grew dim, almost like night. Yawgmoth completed his words and slammed both fists into the ground sinking below the surface of the earth. Ziven would be the second in the syndicate to witness his prided skill.

"I honestly have no idea with you and a few others. My statement was rather incorrect in hindsight. Any living creature by "normal" definitions would have no chance of surviving the technique I had in mind when saying it unless they were already protected before I cast it. I did not mean what I said as a threat or challenge, merely a statement of fact." she knew it was pointless to try, but try she did to get through to him on this. It was clear that he had already set his mind on proving just how damn powerful he really was. Not to be caught off guard, she protected herself with a forcefield of energy around her, the same he had seen her use when transforming to his true form. "What are you doing? I can assure you this is unnecessary!" she said loudly, as if he were not listening, mainly because she believed he was not listening.
