"If you again thirst for blood, I may be of assistance if you wish." she offered, with a small smile, though she still looked a bit uneasy as always. When he continued, she nodded her head and took a deep breath. "I have spoken with everyone but my Father already about the other night. As the option was for me to fight with Yawgmoth or for he to kill Hunter .. I had to accept his challenge. Had he said that he were to fight me or fight Hunter, I may have chosen differently." she said softly, bobbing her head again. Having been a great teacher for her, his opinion mattered greatly to her. It did not make her feel any less nervous to hear, however.

You did the right thing, if you get a choice between fighting or having a friend or loved one die or fight instead then you should fight. That way you won't feel as if you threw your loved ones to the wolves afterwards.* Ali smiled a little at her, He had never chosen to have someone fight instead of him. Sure he got some serious injuries at times it still felt as if he had protected them.*

Nodding, she smiled brightly. "I am happy you feel that way." she said softly, watching him for a moment before looking off to the distance. "What plans have you now?"

Not sure, Might polish my pistols, mate with Loki like there's no tomorrow...Speaking of which You should do that with Hunter too. If we loose against Yawg then you won't get another chance and Yawg will probably try to take your virginity first. It's better if you gave it to the one your love rather then the one you despise.* Ali watched Ziven with a warm yet serious smile, wondering on how she would react.*

The ground began to shake as the green liquid seeped underneath Ali and Ziven. Breaking through the surface of the soil came more undead. Clawing their way up from the earth. The rotting corpses once on solid ground did not pay any mind to either Ali or to Ziven. Groaning the walking dead began to trek towards the floating citadel in the distance. To gather underneath of it with the rest of the undead. Though they were currently neutral about the two, if either of them started to make an offense towards them. The rest would turn, they would not be swayed from serving their dark master.

Shocked at first, her expression quickly changed to a mixture of shyness and upset. "If only life were to work that way." she said softly. Shifting her feet, she shown him another apologetic smile. "I should go. I hope we may speak again soon, friend." she said softly, nodding respectfully before disappearing with a pop.

Wandering around outside, Ziven again needed to get out and relax a bit, clearing her head. Blue eyes wandered around looking at the trees, the grass, the sky. Humming cheerfully to herself, she did not expect to find anyone and would likely wander off if she did.

Soon during her wandering Ziven would come across a large hill and some grassy meadow. As she neared it however, the hill began to move. Rising up taking the dirt and the grass with it was the ferocious looking Titus, the master dreadnought. Shaking his insanely large form back and forth he caused the grass and the dirt to fall off of him. The grass, upon closer inspection would reveal to be just..moss. He'd been lying there for some time, most likely sleeping. So long that moss had grown around his metal body and covered him. Large yellow eyes the size of 10 men Yawgmoth's size starred around blankly, tiredly. Flopping back down upon the ground causing a minor quake the great dreadnought lazily peered and found Ziven's tiny, tiny form amongst the life. "Hello there little one." the deep rumbling voice came from the metal behemoth. "It has been some time since I last saw you out here. What has become of you since that time?" the gentle creature inquired shifting his girth to get a better view of her.

She was suddenly on edge, clearly prepared to defend herself if necessary. When met with kindness, she visibly relaxed, smiling brightly. "Greetings, Mr Titus. Indeed, it has been a very long time. I am pleased to see you." she said cheerfully, bowing respectfully to him. "Many things have happened since we last spoke. I have discovered that I actually do have family and have been practicing my skills of combat." she said cheerfully, bobbing her head again. "I still do not care much for fighting .. though I take some comfort in knowing I have the skills even if they are not put to use often." she said softly, looking up to him with a pleasant smile. "And what of yourself, Mr Titus? Have you been here basking in the sun and free space?"

The massive creature thought for a moment. Though he'd been lying there for awhile, the communications that went across every phyrexian went across him. He knew what was on the horizon. "I do not care for fighting either. Ironic for me. You are delicate. I am bred to kill. I guess two people born of different thoughts and worlds can still harbor the same feelings of pacifism." he said gently. Two streams of steam shot from his nostrils to the left and to the right as he exhaled. "Aye. I have enjoyed the quiet still of the day air. Listening only to the birds sing, the animals skitter about. Too afraid was I to move for fear of startling such beauty. So I just sat here. I do not regret it." he said almost bending his giant snout into a smile for her. "The way I hear things little one, your skills in combat are to be tested soon. Everyone's is. I am surprised...he has not come to me to ask for my aid. Do you happen to know why?" he asked, wondering if she had any idea why Yawgmoth wasn't here badgering him to fight for him.

With a squeak, her feet left the ground, taking to the air, moving herself so she was hovering eye level with him. Smiling kindly, it appeared as if there was an invisible ledge that she was now sitting on. Smiling more brightly, she bobbed her head, looking shy. "Aye, that is true. As it stands .. Mr Zero has left these lands - oh, please do not let him know I still refer to him as 'Mr' .. I forget sometimes, I wish to be respectful to all." she said softly, rubbing the back of her neck nervously for a moment. "I know not why Yawgmoth has not called upon you. There are many beings he has gathered already as well as having raised many from the dead to join him." she said softly, bobbing her head a bit. Looking to him, she tilted her head. "It is unusual for he not to call upon you?"

The titan nodded slowly. "Yes. I share the same spinal implant as all of my brethren. I know of his war. When war is on the horizon, I am usually the first being he seeks out. As I have told you before little one, I will only fight when I deem it necessary. He seeks my approval before each war. It is almost a custom. For him to not show up has been rather...surprising. I am still at ends." Titus admitted exhaling another breath of steam. The warm air shooting out and washing over towards Zivens form. "There are reasons for both sides in this conflict. Your side, you fight for justice, for your lives. Yawgmoth fights for pride and conquest. However, his side is severely disadvantaged. An unusual thing for Phyrexia. So many opponents have gathered against him it is...almost unfair. If he were to ask of me, I would not know which answer to give." the dreadnought said. "For on your side, there are friends. You. I do not wish to have to come to battle with you little one. What do you think? What should I do?"

"As I am not you, I cannot advise on what I would do. Though .. when I try to think of what I would do if I were not me and I were another .. if I had the same ideals and beliefs .. the fact of the matter is that I would fight only to bring peace. It matters not which 'side' to choose .. whomever I would support more - either with tactics of fighting or in knowing the desire of what to do when the battle is over .. that is how I would decide." she said softly, bobbing her head a bit.With a stretch, she seemed to lay on her side now, still watching him from eye level. "And .. in this scenario .. Yawgmoth would be more likely to find new battles to fight after the .. dust settles." she continued, watching him with curiosity. "And yet .. Mr Titus .. you quite possibly hold an important and unique position. In any battle, no matter how big or small, no matter whom is involved .. if you feel the fight to be unfair, you could assert yourself in favor of the one who is in need of aid to find victory." she said, watching him with wide eyes. "I am doing the babbling, I shall cease." she said softly, watching him still with wide, curious eyes.

Titus' large pale yellow eyes closed slowly and another breath of steam exhaled violently as he pondered her words. "Thank you." he said quietly, calmly. Standing up the behemoth began to move and reared back holding itself in place with four of its eight arms. Starring down upon her tiny form he spoke. "Your words are true, your wisdom is underestimated. My decision has been made. To bring the swiftest end to this needless battle, in order for tranquility to take over after the chaos is over. I will make Yawgmoth the victor. On one condition, and one condition alone. That he leave you alone. That if you are to survive. Your care will be my responsibility. Not his. I know what twisted things my savage creator would do to you. You are my friend, and though I must fight against you for what I believe is right. I wish the least harm upon you." the dreadnought spoke with a firm nod opening his yellow eyes. "May this conflict settle swiftly. Taking the least amount of lives it can. Maybe, maybe one day little one. You and I will talk again, as friends." he concluded.

She looked to him with a deeply saddened expression, tears welling in her eyes. She again sat up and drifted closer to him, nuzzling her head and right shoulder against his head for a moment before hovering away from him again. "I understand, friend. Though I would have liked to have known what it is like to fight by your side." she said softly, smiling a bit. "I hope also that you realize I cannot allow you to harm my friends .. nor anyone else. I want peace, I do not want harm to come to anyone, not even Yawgmoth though I know he thrives on such." she said softly, lowering her head. When she next spoke, greater sadness could be heard in her voice. "I suppose it will be most appropriate for us to part now."
