Emerald woke up with a start, awakened by all the noises from around him. He sat up quickly and noticed....everyone was sad. He had almost forgotten what had happened. He stood up and realized...Bloodstone was here? And he was crying? Why? [i]Well, they did seem to know each other, I guess.[/i] It was so odd, seeing someone so powerful, who could do anything now that Aqua was gone, doing...nothing. He heard Bloodstone's question. [color=ed1c24]"Ok, so how about some history lessons since I'm here? Any questions?"[/color] He was a bit frightened by him being here, but he did have a question. A few questions. [color=00a651]"Um..uh...is....is Howlite going to be okay? She's gonna come back, right?[/color] He sounded a little hopeful, which almost covered up the fact that his voice was cracking and he had a lump in his throat. He was hopeful, but he knew that this...this situation was terrible. Everything was terrible. No leader, no direction, nothing....and then there was Howlite. All he could think, the one thing repeating in his mind. [i]All I could've done was watch. Useless.[/i]
