Hello Stranga': Malefactor Quest

[Retane]

"Malefactor... It is a word defined as a person who commits a crime or some other wrong. My brother would never have done such a thing if he hadn't been infulenced by that thing. We aren't Primes, and you are not a human, and I understand where you are coming from. But here's his picture and directions to the dump site. Just... Just bring me some closure back..."

The two, Retane and Arith, stepped off the platform onto the Seventh Tier. They hadn't spoken seince they had left, and had even inogred a little kid that had asked, "What they were doing at Old Man Skull's house."

Retane only sighed as he looked around and took in a deep breath a he stopped and glanced back, his eyes shifting so he could see the Dragon Warrior,"What else do you know that you aren't telling me?"

"Heh, I can promise you that you don't want to know. " Arith had donned his helm and hood again before they had exited the home of Goeff Haskell. He let out a long sigh that was echoed by his mask.

"Enroshia sent me evrything he knew about you telepathically before he left. Personally, since I know you are asking, I feel bad for ou. But, just so you know, I don't take life seriously. I have fun because with each battle I know I will die and do my best at it. But with you, I can't die. Its a curse within a curse I guess. I havent aged a day in quite a while. When I return to Lythia I hope I remember all of it, but I don't know how this will work. I actually feel alot weaker here. But I think I can die over and over again and while it's gonna tax you... You can bring me back. So I am almost like indestructible."

Retane listened as they moved on, towards the dumpsite and their destination. The air was very foul and being of a heritage of Nameks, he almost wanted to choke. Still, though, Arith had some points, though he was still shocked that he had been deceived like he had been, and let out another low growl.

The Lythian stopped then reached for his blades, but changed his mind and foled his arms across his chest. " Yeah you wouldn't know it but you actually make that noise a lot. Or you did. It's almost a trademark." Arith was calm and collected as he spoke. "You also are alomst always as calm as yu are right now. You are thinking and wondering and gauging if you trust me or not. It's not my fault that Enroshia transfered his thoughts into my head. Seems you were with him when he learned this ability and you gave it to him."

"If you want to know, He was made and named the Arbitrator of Heaven and Hell in the afterlife of your universe. You did a lot there for both sides. Killed and saved, but remained balance. You were never actually Evil, but you never took fun in actually killing."

Retane took in a heavy breath and gave a nod , but still let out a low snarl and even caught himself and almost wanted to laugh. It kind of verified what the Champion of Lythia was saying.

"You are like a wolf or big black cat. Youre are swift and way to intellegent for your own good. You have a fighting instict that could even challenge Enroshia. I know it hurts and it's gonna take some getting use to... But I'm not going to answer every question you want to know. I am going back to being myself... and will let you ask me a single question if you get through this alive. We both know theres a lot that you want to ask. But I'm not afraid of you. Really. There's no reason for me to be. I get to go home or I don't." Arith managed to crack his neck to show his point of not caring.

"I think I have more then a single question to ask you. But you have surprised me from the way you acted to before and then all of a sudden took charge." The Namekian could only be straight forward at the moment.

"Would you rather me lie? It seemed like you were struggling just to be honest. I felt you were struggling, so I made a choice. YOu could dissmiss me if you want, but it's fun being with you and me just being me." The Lythian could only shrug after he finished.

"I don't know much, but some where; Somewhere deep inside, in the back of my mind I beleive you. It's weird, I think I am losing it, though. It's like I really desire this. THis challenge. I am nervous, but I don't know what else to do." The Namek had stopped in the middle of walking and had turned to the Dragon Warrior.

"So you choose to tell me, someone that you aren't sure yu trust?" Arith gave a soft laugh before he straightened his voice. "So are you going to try and save George? Or straight aim to kill him?"

Retane too kthe words in for a few moments and then decided to offer a shrug, "I don't know. What is closure? Closure can be getting his brother back. Closure can be seeing him dead. It's weird."

"This is why I cry for you. This is why many people have cried for you. This is also why he openly challenged you. He wants to see what kind of person you are. He want's to see if you have 'spine and guts'. Usually I let Enroshia handle those things. But he's not here and you are the one he asked me to assist. I kill to protect.

Arith ran his head across his hooded head, "I think you can save George, but you have to remove it. Mr. Skull seemed to leave somethings out. It might kill him to remove it. He might want you to just kill him. I don't know his thoughts. But we are gonna go into this doing it however you want to. And I am here for you and only you. I know you might struggle with this, but we can do this, Gremlin."
