Ailen looked down at Marx's hand then gestured to his missing arm. "Wrong hand...." He said. He then offered his other hand to shake with. He then sat himself on the table. He then closed his eyes and let his mind drift off. He even began to sleep for once. Strangely he was rather comfortable. He then wondered if that tech. Ever got those candy bars... He then wondered if the tech ever had a candy bar. He sighed and knew that if he ever took charge again things were going to change. He knew his future with Silvia and this tower was likely over. He did something that could not be fixed. He would have to give his life for this tower to get what ever trust he lost from her. He took a deep breathe and released. The Twins and Tristan what are you up to?... What are you.... Up....to

     If there wasn't a sign that Ailen hardly slept it was now. The man's body was so exhausted he fell asleep right there on a operating table. There was one reason he never let himself sleep though. The reason was about to occur in the form of a nightmare.

   This nightmare took place five years ago on the day of the incident. Ailen was making his usual rounds about the tower. When suddenly his com link rang out. He heard Craig's voice yell out at him. [i]"Get to gate 3 and quick your men are already mustered outside"[/i] He cursed knowing it had happened. They warned Tristan that this would occur if he treated the people like crap and refused them of their supplies. He sprinted towards the stairs believing it would be faster. In truth it was as he jumped from floor to floor. Eventually making it to the bottom floor. He then took a turn to the left and then a right. Gate 3 already open as he stepped out. He saw the people outside. There was a lot of them and he knew right away they didn't have enough. "We will need back up Craig?.." 
"I know sending some down with a few empaths if things get heated. " he hear the response. Ailen spat out a curse. He then stepped forward. "Altenians,... Calm yourself, this is not worth it!" He said to the raging crowd. They began throwing rocks. Followed by.."Fuck Tristan and his tower goons" 

Ailen was able to stop some of the stones but some got past him nailing his men. Eventually one of his men panicked and opened fire. Then shit hit the fan. The civilians who were armed fired back. He started to see his men as well civilians hiting the ground their bodies. Eventually he himself began firing back. His men were dropping like flies. Where is that damned back up! He thought. Then from a building exited this woman. Tall and blonde. Shit Elaina.. What are you doing here?... I told you to stay in my chambers. He began moving towards he. Then suddenly a bullet ripped through her shoulder. A second going through he stomach and a third through her chest. He screamed. As he did so his crystal glowed and charged. The crystal amplified his speed as he used his sword to cut a path to her. When he got there he saw the blood and the holes. He dropped his sword and continue to fire as he check her. Her bloody right hand raising up to his cheek. He could hear the words "i am sorry" very quiet. 

   Felt her life slowly leave, He kept tryin to keep her awake. "Don t you die on my...." His words fell on death ears as she slipped away. Her hand falling to the ground. Tears formed both in the real world and in the nightmare.
