I catch a glimpse of something on the television that the pawn shop owner left near the window for customers to watch. It was the news, and the biggest story? Some sort of seraphin, apparently pure-blooded, came down to Fotia and explained how he's going to just suddenly rule over all of us. [i]What the heck is this? I don't need someone who just came outta nowhere telling me how to live my life! I JUST found a way out of that trap of a bubble, and now this!? Sure, there's war, but wherever there are different varieties of intelligent creatures, there's sure to BE war.[/i] I think as I continue watching, my eyes now glued to the screen where the seraphin continued on adding "For many are against us, they will not prosper." [i]Great, AND the 'true king' is going to be a totalitarian. At least Vrondi's leader, whoever that is, is lax about controlling the city and all of its inhabitants.[/i] I continued in my own head upon hearing the seraphin continue on, calling himself 'God'... feh, like we needed religion in control. Of course, chaos appeared to ensue, with a huge battle commencing between Magnixx, who looked even angrier than he did in most of his pictures, and some other seraphin, eventually ending in the seraphin's demise, or, rather, the seraphin's absorption into Magnixx's blade... of course, Magnixx didn't stop there, no, he went into the sky kingdom, and literally destroyed the place. At that, I had to look up, just to make absolute sure that nothing was going to fall on my head. Thankfully, nothing did, or even came close to doing so. Magnixx... he's on the same side of this as me. I just hope I don't have to denounce my Bleek heritage to be accepted into his ranks... wait... was I really thinking of joining the military? I chuckled at the thought, and continued with another [i]Well, I sure look like a Bleek, but I sure think like a Sajukai.[/i] I then think about it for a second, and try to think about how to best enter the city... of course, this was made easier by the fact that I, unlike Magnixx, don't look much like a seraphin, which is whom he just declared war against... huh...

I ended up trying to fly my way there, though, I didn't even come close to making it all the way there due to my lack of flight training. I ended up landing right where the forest that surrounded Vrondi ends, and where a wasteland began. The ground was tough and unforgiving, but thankfully rather warm as well. If I was to make it all the way to Fotia, I had to get used to the ground, however painful to my feet it may be. [i]I can do this... too bad my wings are too tired for me to fly any more, though.[/i] I think as I continue on my journey to Fotia, unfortunately, I may have come a little unprepared for a long run, as I only had my broken inventions on my back, giving me yet another reason why I couldn't rest right now. I could, however, take off my hats and goggles, which I did, placing them inside my backpack and probably getting them lost in there, and obviously getting them mixed in with the various, random ray guns that I kept in there. After a few hours of walking, I started to get hungry, but given that I didn't take any food with me, I had to simply ignore that urge and continue on, working through the pain. By the time I finally got to Fotia, I sure didn't look as though I was in any condition to join an army, let alone one who was to take on the original, the elder, the one who would control us, control our thoughts, our successes and our failures, and probably even end up controlling who we spend a good portion of our lives with, maybe even arranging the seraphins to be considered 'desirable' with us dragonlike descendants becoming undesirable... who knows, with the power he craves, he'd probably destroy whatever dragons are left, and write them out of history by calling them myths, or something. [i]Just as I've failed on my own, and have learned from these failures, so too must the rest of us. If we aren't allowed to fail, how will we learn?[/i] I then think as I look around the city, tired but still going and still dedicated to finding Magnixx and joining his side... but, first, I'd need a sandwich or something. Unfortunately, I didn't locate any kind of food store nearby, though, I was finally here... I just needed something to eat.
