At first there is nothing but pure darkness all around and it feels more like floating than falling. There is nothing at all around not cold not hot. It almost feels unreal. Then I open my eyes.

Mythra has just woken up from where she had fallen only to discover that Rex is sitting a little bit away from her looking off into the distance.

"How long... have I been out?"

"I'd say about ten minutes."

"Where are we?"

"I'm not sure. All I know is we're below the cloud sea right now."

"Wait... we survived that fall?!"

"I know amazing isn't it?"

"Where is everybody?"

"I don't know. I wanted to go look for them myself but I decided to wait until you woke up."

"Soooo... What did I miss?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well while I was being held captive what happened?"

"Quiet a bit has happened since you were gone."

"Well?"

"So first off I died... again."

"WHAT?!"

"Well after you got knocked out by Jin, Jin ended up ripping my part of your core crystal out which ended up killing me again."

"How were you brought back this time?"

"This time I was revived by Nia."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Turns out she's a lot better at healing than I EVER gave her credit for."

"Oh ho, you have no idea."

"Do I?" Rex slyly responds.

"Anyways after that we built a third form for Poppi which is actually extremely powerful. We went to Addams burial site and tried to take the third Aegis, that didn't work out. And the biggest thing that happened was we found out that Nia is a flesh eater."

Mytra feels shock at this that Nia finally revealed her blade form to everyone else.

"So she finally did it I see."

"Yep. Something tells me you already knew."

"I am the Aegis after all."

"Oh and something that is major to me personally is that me and Nia-"

What came next Pyra and Mythra were not ready for.

"-are in love."

Upon hearing this Mythra's heart sinks into her chest and Pyra enternally is on the verge of tears upon hearing this. The one that they had grown to admire and love themselves has been taken away from them. Without anything to really say Mythra just blurts something random out to prevent the silence.

"I... I'm... speechless."

"I know, I was too when she confessed. I had been wanting to say it first but she beat me to it."

Knowing that Rex wanted to confess to Nia hurt both of them even more. To them it felt like there was never a chance in the first place for them. Not knowing what to do Mythra quickly remembers that they needed to find the other members of there group.

"L-let's g-go find everyone."

"Alright."

After walking in silence for a little while Rex trys to think of something to say to make the walk less awkward. Suddenly he remembers that he had a question for Mythra.

"Hey Mythra what was the name of that form you took in the fight against Jin?"

"I don't really have a name for that form. It was the first time we had ever turned into that form."

"Then which one of you is it in that form?"

"What do you mean?"

"Is it Pyra or Mythra?"

"It's both of us combined."

"Cool. Like coffee and milk."

"What? That sounds strange but I guess that analogy works."

"I think I'll call you..."

Rex doesn't know what to call that form. He thinks of just fusing their names into Pythra or Myra but that sounds tacky. He then thinks of just calling them one of the two names but then Rex thinks of that as favoritism. Suddenly Rex remembers that there was some writing on their outfit but can't remember what it said. Rex decides to ask another question.

"Could you transform into that form really quickly please?"

"Why?"

"Just trust me ok?"

Mythra lost some trust after earlier but decides to comply.

Upon closer inspection Rex notices that the word is Pnema. He had never heard of such a word and decides to call her that.

"The name of this form shall be Pnema."

"Why?"

"Because the word is written on this form so I might as well call you the name that this form came with."

"Weird but alright. Hello Rex, I am Pnema."

"Hi Pnema, I'm Rex."

As they are having this little exchange they hear what sounds like a fight going on in the distance. Looking worried the two of them run over to investigate what's going on. Once they turn the corner they see an unexpected face fighting off a wierd melted monster.

"Jin?!"

Jin turns his head to see Rex and Mythra watching him fight the wierd melted monster. In that instant Jin gets struck by the monster and is put out of commission. Right as it looks like Jin is about to get the dealing blow done to him Rex and Mythra come to his aid and save him.

"What are... you doing?"

"Protecting you of course."

"Why would you protect your enemy?"

"Because I still believe you can be saved Jin."

Jin scoffs at them and the fight continues. Rex and Mythra destroy the creature with relative ease but it comes back to life.

"What the?!"

"Hyaahhhh!"

Suddenly a burst of blue flames come out of nowhere and destroys the monster for good.

"Brighid! Good to see you."

"Likewise, while down here we discovered that the only way to destroy these things is to either burn them or crush their core crystals."

"I see. Oh look Poppi and Gramps are here too."

"Rex my boy I'm glad to see you. I can finally rest in your helmet again."

"Hello Rex-Rex. Poppi find place very strange."

"Yeah, this place is pretty weird isn't it?"

Everyone gets defensive when they see Jin.

"What's HE doing here."

"We found him on the way here."

"Why would you want to save him?"

"I still believe I can change him."

"Rex-Rex, Jin is dangerous person. Can't be trusted."

"It seems your group has more common sense than you boy."

"I'm trying to help you right now."

"And?"

"ANYWAYS let's get a move on. I want to find the rest of our group as soon as possible."

"Agreed."

"Let's go."

"Hmph."

With that the group continues on there adventure through the Land of Morytha.
