Quick Author's Note (Should have put this on the last post): Wow! It has been a long time since my last post on this series, don't think I've forgotten, just merely taken a year long break to find myself and reaffirm my existence in this world! No, but seriously, I'm hoping to be back for a bit and continue this story to see where it goes. While it doesn't get a lot of attention and the chapter's are short, I really appreciate every person who reads this and leaves and feedback. If you're new I would recommend reading from the beginning to get a good scale of what's happening as this chapter in particular references elements from other chapters but that's enough talking for now. Enjoy!
Question and an answer in the form of another question was the cycle Balon was trapped in, ever since the Exo's appearance Balon was not getting any closer to a proper answer of the underlying question, how would the City defeat the Vex. While time was still supposedly stopped in the present he wasn't certain that all nefarious deeds had ceased, the Vex were a time and reality travelling race after all. While Praedyth was a man that contained many answers he also brought up more questions, was he lying about who Balon was, while it wasn't completely inconceivable that Balon had Eliksni blood in him it was still hard to believe that it had taken him that long to figure this out. Plus, Praedyth's appearance didn't answer another question of his, Who is the voice in my head? Balon thought to himself as he walked around the cave avoiding any eye contact with the other Fallen around him. They had been curious about him after he entered their home and followed him around most places he went. Praedyth told him that they were just guarding him and making sure he didn't get hurt, but Balon felt like they were keeping him away from something, or someone. Another question Balon had was what he was going to do now on his ultimate goal, to stop the Vex, until further notice he was stuck here with Praedyth and the Fallen. Was the Exo really going to betray me? He thought to himself, he wasn't sure what to believe anymore, all he knew is that he needed to get to the bottom of this, and his next move was going to be to get out of here and infiltrate that Spearhead place the Exo was talking about while he was "asleep", but for now he rested up and he began to devise his plan of escape, as Balon closed his eyes and fell asleep, the voice whispered into his head, What's your answer?
