Duo stood quietly, watching the blazing, roaring flames. "I still can't believe it...That thing was inside of me..." He wiped his bleeding lip and drank from the nearby stream, watching Atlas' hideout burning to the ground. "What the hell am I..."

"You are what you are, Duo." said Loki.

He plopped himself down near the banks and stripped. Then he dove in.

"Ah, refreshing. But now...we have something far worse than Atlas to deal with."

Mat shuddered and emptied his stomach on the ground in front of him, the heat of the flames not touching him. His arms shook just from the effort of keeping him on his hands and knees. Coughing again roughly, Mat rolled away from the mess and laid on the ground, panting.

"What you are Duo is yourself." He sighed and shut his eyes. For one moment, all he wanted to do was just let the embrace of dark sleep come over him, but now more than ever, Mat would have to be on his toes. So instead, he say up and propped an arm on a knee.

"I do agree with Loki though. We now have someone far worse that Atlas to consider about. If the guy could tear up Atlas as easy as he did, then he is far more powerful than Atlas, which goes without saying. The fact that he did it shows that, if it's possible, the guy has less morales than Atlas."

Duo nodded in agreement. "True...Very true..." He sighed and shook his head, too clouded by different thoughts to think clearly.

"You know what? I think we're all to tired to think straight. How bout we all take a snooze now?"

**Avankiri** · 03-31-2008, 10:51 PM

Duo nodded to himself, thinking. Sleep would not come to him that night.

((Jake was out cold from the blow he sustained from Atlas))

Jake woke up next behind Duo after his wounds where finally healed by the shadow powers within "Duo is everything alright how long have i been out for did we win?" he asked with his hands on his gut 'man this hurts i still must not be up to full recovery' he thought as he looked out across the water.

Duo turned a bit. "About 2 hours..." He began to explain all that had happened to them.
