Bastian P.O.V
Feeling something tracing circles on my chest, I opened my eyes only to find Sarah tracing lazy circles.
"Can't sleep dear?" I whispered softly.
"Yeah..."
"Wanna tell me what's going on in there?"
"I was just thinking about us, the resistance, I wonder how much we put on the line."
Ever since I met Sarah in the resistance I never regretted joining, she brought me happiness and fufilment from the monotone of fighting with the Empire. I'd risk anything for her right now, even to the extent of quitting the resistance. Yet I couldn't, troubled times indeed.

Ryan P.O.V
As I gathered up my things I looked over to the bar, that blindfold, seemed familar.
"Hey Kiara how long has that guy worked here?"
"You mean Juay?"
"Yeah... Juay."
"About a year or less, I'm not too sure."
"He's blind?"
"If he's blind how would he work behind a bar, he'll probably break the next five hundred glasses."
"Hmm..."
I decided to test my theory.

Juay P.O.V
I sensed something coming towards me on my left, reaching out my hand I caught the object and immediatly sensed someone behind me. Sidestepping to the left I caught the guy's hand and brought his hand over his neck.
"Heh, so its you Juay."
"... Ryan"
"So now you leave yourself to juggle bottles and mix drinks? What happened to the Juay I knew?"
"Its over."
"I remember you once told us sight wasn't everything, you lost it, yet you proved it to us you were as capable."
"Leave me alone, the resistance means nothing to me now."
"Really."
"Don't make me."
"Then perhaps you should keep that, Blake told me to take it along, I see why now."
"...Leave then."
I realeased him and felt him leave the bar. The bar was deadly silent, the stillness pierced my heart. I was always afraid of being alone, being unable to see, hear, touch, smell, all those senses. I lost my sight, it was terrible, I was stumbling along the first few days, I refused any help, I knew I had to take this on myself. I succeeded, but at what price. Feeling the cold chain of whatever Ryan threw to me, I felt around the necklace. Felt like, a wing.
"Angel... so they did keep it."

Shaun andJames P.O.V
James pushed open the door, only to find the bar was quiet, the silence hurt his ears.
"Man what happened here." muttered Shaun, placing his hand on James's shoulder.
"No idea man, no idea."
Pushing their way past the crowd, they made their way to the bar. By the time they were nearly there, the partying had gotten back to full swing.
"Yo Juay, what was that?" asked James.
"Nothing much."
"Man, still as cold as ever, bet you love this weather." said Shaun settling himself on a chair infront of the bartop. (A/N: Its winter.)
"What can I get you guys?"
"One Jahu - Mada mix" James shouted over the noise.
"Ahhh, anything non-alcoholic." muttered Shaun.
"Shaun you need to learn how to hold a drink man." said James patting Shaun on the shoulder.
"I don't drink although I work behind here James."
"You are a weird man Juay, first is that blindfold, then a bartender who never touches alcohol."
"Yeah speaking of blindfolds why do you wear one anyway." as Shaun pointed at my blindfold.
"What..."
"Okay, okay. Weird fashion statement."
Watching Juay wipe the mug Shaun turned back to his drink.
"Geez, your freaking me out."

Kiara and Ryan P.O.V
"So mind explaining why you threw that thing at Juay? I mean I never seen him move that fast before."
"You mean you've seen him in action?"
"Yeah, he beat a couple of guys who were mocking him about being blind."
"Didn't think he'd have such a short temper now." Ryan said, stuffing his hands into his pocket.
"On top of that they were trying to rob a "blind" guy, apparently he can see through that blindfold or something."
"No Kiara, he IS blind."
"No way..."
"About a year ago he was in the resistance, he shielded some guys in his team by throwing back a bomb, but apparently the shrapnel concentrated on his eyes and, well you can guess the rest. He left shortly after that. Not that he was uncapable, infact hes the best scout around, even when he was blind, I don't think it got to him.Now. I don't even know why he left. He wasalways a mysterious one."
"So what gave him away in the bar?"
"His blindfold had a special mark, an angel wing. His weapon was closely related to it, nobody knows the story behind the wing, but he always wears it, he calls his weapon from it."
"Ah, hes a hybird?" (A/N:A Mix, in this case hes a fighter/magician.)
"In a sense..."
"I mean I don't know much about him myself, he just comes and goes. Don't talk to him much anyway. All he gives are one line answers."
"I know, now Blake wants me to coax him back into the resistance. Like, how. Besides there's still the other members to contact."
"Life's tough ain't it."
"Freedom comes with a price Kiara."
