Rythian sat at the bar, staring off into the distance. Zoeya hadn't left the basement in days; the nuke was the most pressing concern. He turned towards Ravs, "Another round, please."
"You got it."
He slid the glass across the table to Rythian. Rythian caught it and took a deep breath. This had to be his 16th drink, but he really didn't have anything to do. He took a big gulp of the drink, it was strong, but he didn't notice. He had more pressing concerns. Zoeya might need help, but she told him to stay out of the basement unless she called him.
He sighed and muttered "How am I supposed to help her if I can't talk to her."
Ravs looked at him strangely, and then continued cleaning a mug.
"Rythian, how do you feel about the nuke?"
"I don't know, I want to help Zoeya but he won't let me down into the basement."
Ravs looked shocked for a moment, but quickly fixed himself.
"How can you help Zoeya, Rythian? She's gone."
Rythian lunged across the counter in drunken rage
"She is not gone. She is fixing the problem with the nuke."
Ravs pulled himself out of Rythian's grip, "She's dead man."
Rythian froze.
"She tried to defuse the nuke and it exploded. She and Blackrock are gone."
It's can't be true, she's fine, she's just working I'll...
I'll check on her right now.
Rythian turned and ran out the door, hurrying towards Blackrock.
She's Fine, She's fine, She's fine…
As he flew over the hill, he saw the wreckage of Blackrock. He flew to the ground. He ran.
"Zoeya! Zoeya!"
He stumbled, as the memories came rushing back.
(Flashback)
"Are you sure you can do this?"
"Of course Rythian! I'm 99% sure."
"Alright if you're sure."
"Yup! I'm 98% sure."
"You just said 99%."
"Rythian! I'll be fine you and Tee go. Okay?"
"Alright."
He flew off, Tee following; he was nearly to the boundary when he heard the boom.
He rushed back as fast as he could. He saw the wreckage, but it didn't matter, only she mattered. He looked and looked until he found her by the pond where they met.
She was injured very badly. He rushed to her side and used everything he could to try and save her, but he couldn't. When her heart stopped, Rythian cried. Tee tried to see what happened, but Rythian blocked her body. Rythian cried until he passed out, still holding her body.
Tee carried him to Ravs and looked at what remained of Zoeya. Tears welled up in his eyes but he carried he to the graves. He then left.
(Present)
Rythian cried as he remembered. The only thing keeping him her, was gone. Rythian pulled out his Katar. Life was hell without her, why live here when she wouldn't. He slowly brought the Katar to his throat remembering all the good times he and Zoeya had. He cut through his neck, killing himself. His final thoughts being, "I'm coming Zoeya."
