Hi there all you out there who are reading this story. Normally I would make some long winded discussion about how things are but I'm just going to get right into the reviews. But before that I am going to give you a short chapter warning. Okay now to the reviews.

Skypan: Really? Because from what I've seen you seem more like a person who's constantly happy.

FanFicCriTicTheThird: Don't worry, at some point I might have Django come back.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything or anyone except Abiectio … actually … I think that means I own everything in this chapter.

(No one's POV)

It was a cold night as a mysterious hooded figure sat on a tree branch looking up at the mountain that lay before him, "sure is a long climb" he said as he sat there, "maybe I should wait till morning when it's warmer"

'You know the temperature has little effect on you. Why put of something so important?' A voice said to him.

He sighed and took another look at the mountain, "I really don't like the cold, never have never will"

'Really?' the voice said, 'are you sure that is the reason you refuse to climb? Or are you scared?'

The figure closed his eyes, "I fear nothing"

'HA, don't give me that Abiectio. If you had no fear then you wouldn't be in this predicament now would you?'

"I wasn't afraid"

'Then why did you hesitate?'

"It didn't seem worth it"

'But you wound up doing it anyway didn't you?'

Abiectio slammed his fist into the tree, "thing's changed"

The voice laughed, 'but if you had don't it earlier then you would have lost less'

"I would have lost it anyway, the reason I did it was because it was already taken from me"

'Would you have lost it because of the payment? Or the product? Or would it just be the simple transaction that would have taken it away?'

Abiectio paused, "it wouldn't have been taken if I did any of that earlier, it would have been lost"

'And yet you still lost so much because of it'

"I knew what I would loose if I went threw with it, and at the time it was offered it wasn't worth it … I'm not even sure if it was worth it after"

'Does it feel like it was worth it?'

Abiectio rested his head on the tree's side, "it was sure gratifying … for a moment"

'And that's when you realized what you did'

"That's when I realized the many thing's I did"

'And do you regret those thing's?'

"I regret some of them, the others I don't mind"

''But do you believe it was worth it?' Abiectio looked away from the mountain, 'answer the question, was what you gained worth what you lost?'

Abiectio remained silent for some time before answering, "I don't know, but it was defiantly not worth what was taken from me"

'Did it ease the pain?'

"Which pain?"

'The pain of having it taken from you'

"What I took did not make the pain go away"

'Then what did?'

"Nothing, the pain is still there"

'Something made it better though'

'Nothing made it better"

'There is something you did that you feel better'

"Nothing made me feel better"

'There was something'

"I wouldn't call it right"

'But was it wasn't wrong was it?'

Abiectio closed his eyes, "what I did or didn't do I should say didn't make me feel any better. If anything it made me feel worse" he sat up and looked back at the mountain, "but that's all in the past, come sunrise I have a mountain to climb and an elemental guardian to find"

The voice laughed, 'do you really think that what you were promised will really make the pain go away? Or even that you'll receive what was promised to you?'

"I was promised that it might, and that's all I can hope for"

'You don't even know what it is. All you got was a promise that it MIGHT help'

Adiectio sighed, "well I just hope that it does"

There was a long silence, 'why do you want to believe that you're employer is going to come threw with this promise? If memory serves you didn't come threw on the last promise you made' Abiectio remained quiet,'Is it because you secretly hope that the promise is not kept, so that you can feel what it's like to have someone promise you everything just so it can be striped away from you before your very eye's' Abiectio didn't respond, 'it still haunts you doesn't it?'

"Until my dying day" the mysterious voice laughed while Abiectio drifted into a deep sleep.

So who's confused? Come on show of hands. Well I cant see you're hands but I'm guessing it's a lot. I do plan to explain it at one point but how about a little competition. In a private message or review send me your theory on what happened to Abiectio. This is a competition for fun and not a prize. I will not tell you if you are right or wrong but I would like to see what people think is going to happen. Also if you want I will post it in the review responses in the following chapter.
