The Next Element

3rd Person's POV:

It was a dawn of another day, the gang had already cleared up their tents and sleeping bags before returning back to the airship.

Blizzard was seen to be grinning from ear to ear.

Shadow had noticed him.

Shadow: What's gotten to you today?

Blizzard: Nothing... It's just...

He snickered.

Blizzard: Lian slept next to me!

Lian heard his voice but didn't bother to give attention to it, otherwise he might get clingy again.

Max: We get it blizzard you don't need to rub it in our faces.

Blizzard: Of course I have to! I slept with a goddess last high!

He complimented the male.

Lian: Now now blizzard, you should really stop with the compliments otherwise you might get punished, you're being a very naughty boy right now.

Blizzard's tail hardened.

Blizzard: Naughty boy?!

His face blushed madly just by being called a "naughty boy"

Lian: And do you know what I give as punishment to naughty boys?

Blizzard: W-what?!

Blizzard immediately asked for the answer, lian knows he's loving where this is going.

Lian approached the beastmen, leaning his face closer to him and he whispered something that only he can hear.

Lian: I simply ignore them for the next 30 days.

Lian booped his nose.

Blizzard's excitement quickly disappeared.

Blizzard: Wha- what?! Oh c'mon! There's gotta be a better punishment than that!

Lian: You like getting punished?

Blizzard's senses came back to him as he just realized what he had said.

Blizzard: I- uhm... It's not like that I mean it is kinda but...

Lian: What kind of a punishment were you expecting? A spanking?

Blizzard: Yes!

Max: Control yourself blizzard!

Shadow: This is quite an interesting behavior you have blizzard.

Zeus: Yeah, even for me I wouldn't expect that you want to be spanked bro.

Zeus snickered.

Blizzard: Oh please! As if I'm the only one who has this type of behavior.

Max: Only you.

Shadow: Mhm.

Zeus: Yep.

This may sound disturbingly weird even for lian but deep down, they all know that blizzard fully cares and respects lian.

Lian: Everyone just forget about this and move on!

Blizzard: Right!

As the engines of the airship started to rev, the vehicle began to fly amongst the clouds once more.

Lian was seen browsing the map.

Max approached the male.

Max: So lian... Had any luck?

He was just an inch away from lian, unfortunately for lian, he had not seen where max was standing so as he turned around he came in contact with the beastman's chest..

Lian: Uhmph!

Max: Umph!

Lian's face began to heat up due to the embarrassment so he quickly pushed max away from him.

Lian catched his breath for awhile.

Lian: Wow... Your pecs really choked me.. You've been really working a lot lately.

Max: Oh....yeah, working out is actually one of my favorite hobbies and to also cope up with... Depression.

He said the last words in a mumbling tone.

Lian: Right... Well sadly I still haven't located any but if I do, I'll update you, until then it's best if you help shadow stop that fight between zeus and blizzard.

Zeus: Lian is mine! I'm not letting you take him away from me!

Blizzard: Hah! Over my dead body! Lian doesn't love you, he never did!

Zeus: Grrr why you husband stealer!

Lian's eyes widened.

Blizzard: Shut up you two ain't even married yet!

Shadow: Max! A little help?

Max pulled zeus as shadow pulled blizzard away from each other.

Lian: You two! Stop this ridiculous fighting, Now tell me what is causing all this trouble?

Blizzard: Tell him lian that you don't love him! I'm the only beastmen you set your love on right?

Lian: What?

Zeus: Lian! Tell him we're getting married after all of this!

Max: Huh?

Shadow: Married?

Lian: Zeus.... I still haven't decided...

Max: What are you talking about?

Lian was too anxious to speak..

Lian: Max....everyone, I have something to tell you all!

Blizzard: What is it?

Max: Tell us.

Zeus: Yeah! Tell us lian whom you really love.

Lian: Everyone listen.. Zeus... He.... He....

Outside of the airship, the wind began to act violently, it's cold blows became even more stronger.

Lian: Last night, zeus pro-

The airship was shook as another darkwave occured.

Lian: GAAH! 

Max: AH!

All of them screamed at the pressure the wave was giving on to them.

Suddenly, the wave vanished leaving no trace behind it.

Lian: Urrghhmm... Another dark wave...

Lian headed straight back to the operating system and activated the holographic map detector.

He clicked on a few keys as the machine had easily located where the darkwave has been released.

Lian: The darkwave is spotted on a nearby mountain, we can discuss about this later, but for now we must take care of this.

Max: Right.

--------------------------------------------------

As the airship landed near the mountain, the gang disembarked and took a look on the temple that rested within the said mountain.

Blizzard: We have to climb all the way up again?

Lian: Yes, but don't worry, all I need to do is let my soul get in contact with the realm's core, once I've done it, my soul will be able to secure and lock their core, after I've done that we can leave the realm then.

Max: But how does that work?

Lian: If I lock a core, my soul will prevent it from mixing up with other elements mostly darkness thus preventing it from being corrupted, now let's move out, I've no intentions of being a teacher right now.

With their leader's words, they soon headed in the mountains.
