Koal tried to get up and follow after Ballad and explain everything to him, try to make him understand. But as he tried to stand up, pain once again exploded from his back. Koal let out a short scream and fell back to the earth. A tear formed at the corner of his eye from the amount of sheer pain he was experiencing, but Koal wouldn't let it fall. He had learned a valuable lesson here, never show anyone your weaknesses. Koal lifted a lip in the beginnings of a snarl. "I Don't know why I even tried to be nice to him. All he ever did was be an asshole to me, never showed me any respect." As the half-demon was ranting, he was able to stand up his eyes flashing and snarling at no one in particular. Koal closed his eyes and focused on an image in his mind. A mask, made of black metal totally blank with one eye hole to be positioned above his left eye. A mask to hide his expressions and weaknesses from all others. It only took about six minutes, his anger allowing him to fully concentrate on the task at hand.
With a silent gust of wind, Koal felt a sudden weight settle in his hand. Success. Koal let out a grin that could only be described as wicked, as he lifted the blank surface of the mask to his face. It fit perfectly, allowing his jaw to move enough to talk, but not enough to be loose. "Perfect." Lynch said. He loved the way his voice reverberated through the mask, making his voice sound deeper than it actually was. Koal stood to his full height; an impressive six foot four inches and let out a laugh. "Nobody has time for nice people here. Only the strong survive." Koal snorted, "Sounds like something Seraph would say." He felt around in his head for the demon who held residence there. He felt a feeling of approval emanating from where Seraph's mind resided.So now you see,Koal, nobody can be trusted. Those were the only words that were directed at him, and then the voiced and presence subsided.
"One last order of business." Koal said, looking at the dirt path ahead of him. He stretched his legs so that he wouldn't pull a muscle and took off at a sprint.
-----------------About Ten Minutes Later--------------------------
It didn't take long, Koal was much faster than he was, and Ballad was walking, not running. Koal stopped a good 10 feet away from Ballad."Ballad!" Koal called his name out, yelling it in a condescending tone.His former travel companion was ignoring him. So he did the sensible thing. Koal took a single gold coin from the pouch at his waist and sidearm threw it at Ballad's body. It wouldn't hurt, it would get his attention. Ballad whirled around and drew his gun out of it's holster as he did. His eyes asked a silent question. Koal simply removed the bag from his waist and threw it on the ground a foot away from Ballad. "Repayment for not shooting me. I always pay my debts." The half-demon then proceeded to gauge the direction from the position of the sun, and walk back towards the gate he came from.
