"Oh for crying out loud!" Terra yelled with all her frustration. She has been training with Darren for well over two months now without much improvement. Well Darren tells her just about every day that she has improved sense they first met. But compared to Darren her Seth powers she seem to pale in comparison." Don't get discouraged. Our powers are driven by emotions and our emotions affect our performance." Darren said as he helped her up from the sand near the shore of the tower." The more depressed or angry you are to more weak or uncontrollable your attacks will become."

Terra really did try her best to take the advice to heart but it seemed too much to ask her to control her emotions at all times." Yeah whatever." She brushed him of, but with a sigh Darren lightly tapped the ground and a fist came up and knocked her back." See this is what I mean. You will power."

"I thought you said to control my emotions!" she yelled after picking herself off the ground." No I said don't be discouraged. Our powers mechanism is emotion, what im telling you is to rule your emotions and make it yours!" with that said he stomps the ground and giant hands of sand shot out from the sand to grab hold of Terra. With cry of wrath sends out of wave of sand to consume the hands, but as they collided with the wave they formed another giant hand on the back side of the wave. Acting quickly Terra slid across the sand as a surfer would a wave." That's it!" Darren said with a grin as he chased her using the same method of travel. Terra then created a fist of sand directing it at Darren's Direction.

" Nope!" he exclaimed as he pivoted out of its trajectory." Stop mocking me!" Terra yells as her hands glows its golden color." There's the emotion! Focus use emotions content to strike!" with said she lashed out again with a dozen fists of sand, but Darren simply spun creating a gale of sand knocking the fists off their course." I said emotional content! Not simple anger!"

"Im trying!" she retorted.

"No you're not!" he shot back." Why can't you do it!?"

"I DON'T KNOW!" she slashed at him with sand but simply brushed it away with his hand." TELL ME!"

"IM…" she began as her eyes and hands glowed brightly." AFRAID!" with that said a blast of knocked Darren into the air, realizing the opening Terra formed another giant fist and brought it down on Darren, but luckily brings his hands in then meets the fist with the tip of his fingers exploding the fist with a flash of green light, yet still he landed on his back." HAHAHAHA! You see emotional content!"

"What the hell are you talking about!?" Terra just about had enough of Darren's training methods." You see…" he sat up from the sand." In order to truly harness Seth you don't use anger, sorrow or any other emotion by itself. You must use Truth; there is no force more formidable than truth." Terra was taken by surprise with the answer." You see you admitted you were afraid but in your heart you accepted what you truly felt and feared, what you know to be your weakness. As a result; the Seth energy reacted to grant you strength to overcome that fear because you accepted it."

"I still don't get it." She complained rubbing the bridge of your nose." Neither did I at first, but once i realized it I never felt weak ever again even without my powers." And with that Terra threw a rock just over his head." Well that was uncalled for." Darren frowned bitterly until he looked and saw dark sky shedding snow from its clouds." Well how about that…" Darren smiled as the snow touched his skin. He looked to Terra's direction but saw she was already making a dash for the tower." ITS F-ing COLD!" Terra yelled as she ran pass Raven at the entrance." Well I see training is becoming fruitful." Raven said as she walked out towards Darren tossing him his hoody." Christ it's like watching paint dry." He said with laugh as he looked back up at the sky neglecting the warmth of hoody." You'll catch your death a cold staring up at the sky like retard." Raven said poking him in the chest a few times." Worried about little ol' me huh. No worries." He said teasingly as he put on the hoody sense he had been wearing a only a t shirt and some jean shorts for the evenings training." More like I don't want you to keep me awake with your sneezing in the middle of the night." She said but noticed his attention shift back to the falling snow. Though she knew he kept his emotions to himself she could still tell when he began to drift back. Hes been that way sense she first began bringing back his memories, he would randomly drift back in thoughts of the past as if he was searching for something long lost." You have that stupid look on your face again."

"hmm?" he turned his attention back to Ravens deep purple eyes glaring at him with concern." Sorry… it-"

"Its another lost memory…" Raven grabbing him by his hood and dragged him towards the tower." Its been awhile sense our last dive." Raven said as she pulled him with strength through the hall of the tower." Probably because I regained most my memory! There's no need!" Darren said stumbling with his steps as she pulled him to her room." There better not be needles this time damn it!" Darren grunted as she forced him to sit at the edge of her bed." Shut up and hold still would ya." Raven said as she sat just in front of him placing her hands on the cheeks of his face." You know the drill close your eyes." Raven said only for him stare directly into her eyes. His cheeks began to feel hot to the touch as their color shifted to red. He then began to recall the time on board the prom ship when they had their dance when they almost-

" The wheel spinning but the hamsters dead apparently." That broke his train of thought." Sorry I looked into your eyes then I sort of got lost." With that she separated her hands a moment then slap them down again on his cheek." Ow."

"Pay attention." She said as he complied and closed his eyes." Azeroth Metrion Zinthos…" she chanted four times before they both drifted off into darkness. What they saw was the same as the first time. Wize did battle a dark figure but now instead of in the third person its as if they were watching through Wize's eyes. Before the final blow was struck wize looked up at a dark face and what seem to be the outline of glasses." Im sorry…" they heard before the saw the blade plunge deep into Darrens chest." DAD!" Darren screamed before the light sined bright and suddenly they were elsewhere in a place filled with brights stars in its surrounding with nebulas in the distance." Ow….my head." Wize said as they woke up on the steps of large golden structure built on a rock." I think were in your mind again Raven." Wize said struggled to his feet along Raven." No this isn't my mind. It's too…"

"Bright?" he finished as she nodded and turned around to look at the large structure." What the shit?" the structure was seemingly awe strikingly large in scale and size. It glowed brightly with a golden hue but some of the aura it was radiating seem to of a rainbow set of colors." Well who knew we would find something like this in your mind."

"My mind?" he question but she was right who's mind would it be otherwise? Beastboys? He shuttered at the thought. But he felt strange, the temple seem to call to him; his legs begin to move on their own moving towards the stairs." Hey? Whats the matter with you?" Raven called out fallowing behind him." I don't know but something is calling me… at the very top." He reaches the entrance to see a large banister filled with white flames bursting with light." Impressive." Raven said as she stared on at the flame but what caught Wize's attention was beyond the flames towards a throne of a figure glowing brightly in the shape of a man." What the-"suddenly a pulse erupted from the throne and the next thing they realize they were back in ravens room. They stared into space for a moment, before one spoke." I know where to go…"
