"Don't worry about it," Lynxad said, as Xrnay tried to apologize about the friend thing.
"O.K." Xrnay said, relived. His crystal heart glowed a leaf green.
Lynxad laughed at it. "I guess you won't be able to hide your emotions."
Xrnay laughed at his joke. "So where did you go?"
"Oh, the library," Lynxad said.
"This place has a library?" Xrnay said amazed.
"Duh, why wouldn't it."
"Hmm…good question," Xrnay said, with a small laugh.
"Here," Lynxad said handing him a bag of books.
Xrnay took one out. Swords for Dummies the title read. Xrnay looked confused, but he pulled out another.
"Ten Ways Not To Die on the Battlefield!" Xrnay laughed.
"That one has some useful information in it," Lynxad said.
"Whatever," Xrnay sighed, he put the books back into the bag and set them by his door.
Lynxad pulled out a blue piece of paper and laid it flat on the only clear table space.
"What is that?" Xrnay asked, curiously.
"This is the machine I am going to build you," Lynxad said.
Xrnay took a look and almost burst out laughing. He covered his mouth so that Lynxad couldn't see his smile. But, his heart deceived him; it glowed yellow and orange.
Lynxad looked up at him, confused. "What?"
"I am sorry, it looks like an iPod nano," Xrnay said.
"A what?" Lynxad said confused.
"They are music players that are found on my world," Xrnay said, he smiled at Lynxad. Lynxad rolled his eyes and went back to explaining the gadget.
"This is no music player," Lynxad said pointing at the picture of the machine, "this is a heart redeemer."
"It will return your heart to your body," Lynxad said. "I will take a while."
"How long of a while?" Xrnay asked nervously. The heart reflected it with murky green.
"Well I will have to juggle around this and the heartless generator, so about a year."
"A year!"
"Yes, sorry," Lynxad said sadly.
"Ah…" Xrnay was surprised by the apology. "Don't worry, I don't have anywhere special I need to be.
Lynxad gave a low chuckle. "Well, shall we do some training?"
"Training?"
"You didn't think I gave you all those books for light reading?"
"Ha, maybe."
Lynxad rolled his eyes. "Lets get started."
Lynxad lead him to the heartless generator room.
"Um…train here?" Xrnay said looking doubtful.
"Yep," Lynxad said. He pulled out a long wooden box and opened it. Lynxad pulled out a sword still in its scabbard. He threw it to Xrnay and Xrnay caught it easily.
"What am I suppose to do?" Xrnay asked confused.
"You use it to cut things," Lynxad mocked.
"Ha, ha, very funny," Xrnay falsely laughed.
"And hears you teacher," Lynxad said pulling out an old sword.
The sword rose into the air and aimed at Xrnay.
"Cool," Xrnay exclaimed.
Lynxad laughed then turned and started tinkering with the machine. He had all the tools floating around him where he could easily reach out and grab the necessary one.
Xrnay pulled out his sword, only one of the edges was sharp. It had a katana shape to it.
The sword came at him with lightning speed. Xrnay raised his sword with an involuntary action and parried the sword.
"Whoa," Xrnay said amazed. But the amazement was short lived, if it could live if he could feel the sword sent a fury of attacks at him.
Xrnay easily blocked them, then went on the offensive and sent a few swings at the old sword.
This went on for hours, until Xrnay could no longer fight back. Xrnay received a few blows to the arms and legs but the old sword wasn't sharp, but he would have some bruises.
"That was fun," Xrnay said wincing at the pain in his shoulder. There were already purple marks forming on his arms, and Xrnay feared looking at the wounds on his legs.
"Ha, at least I got something done on that machine," Lynxad said.
"Yeah," Xrnay said with a smile. "Hey, can you teach me that magic thing you were doing?"
"Well," Lynxad said pausing. "I could download it."
Xrnay didn't like the thought of having things downloaded into his brain, but Lynxad pulled him along.
Xrnay sat in the same chair and wore the same sunglasses thing.
"You are the first one that hasn't gone brain dead," Lynxad said happily typing away.
"That makes me feel so much better," Xrnay said sarcastically.
"Ha, but I am going to increase the files downloaded," Lynxad said.
"Great, I feel like a guinea pig," Xrnay said smugly.
"Don't be silly, you are a guinea pig," Lynxad said, he stopped typing. "Ready?"
Xrnay sighed. "Ready."
Lynxad pressed the 'enter' button and that same buzzing sound came. Then, darkness.
