Chapter 2: Good news and bad news
What used to be the fine Petalburg City had now distorted into colorless ashes. May and Drew had waited until the last crackling fire had died down. May's eyes were swollen from the stinging tears that had poured down her cheeks, Drew stood beside May, staring at her, while he vulnerably tried to comfort her without success. As Drew looked around at the debris, something glimmered and caught his eyes. He left May to search for that shimmering entity. It was a peice of aluminum, no part of it was harmed by fire, words were printed on it stating clearly: YOUR FATHER IS ALIVE, AS MY CAPTIVE. BRING ME SKARMERY'S BLOOD, AND I SHALL SET HIM FREE. Drew wondered about the piece for a moment, and hesitated. Was this written for May or for me, Drew thought. He pondered on this question for a few minutes before returning back to May, he then confirmed that the piece was for May and showed it to her. At first, she was astounded, but as she raised her head and stared into Drew's dark green eyes she grew more mature, and from then on, Drew knew May was determined to obtain Skarmery's blood and save her father.
