I'm writing this while playing Dofus, MapleStory and Audition. So enjoy or something. If you don't enjoy it and want to send in complaints, it's fine by me. If you are speechless at how horrible it is and can't say a thing, you don't need to send in a review. (P.S. I managed to get my friend hooked on Fanfiction.)

This is a continuous to the first one because I'm bored again. This time, it's from Evan's point of view.

Evan walked into town. Magatia was so quiet everyday. The things that seemed to be alive were the shadows that warped and molded themselves into different shapes in the dim moonlight. It made Evan feel like something was lurking in the back alleys, something that would jump out at him any time...

"Woah!" he shouted. Someone -was it something?- had nudged past him. He fumbled with his staff. Mir, can you see or smell what it is? he asked his onyx dragon.

Would you believe me if I told you that I can smell the scent of flames and blood on the same creature? Mir questioned. Evan sighed. Then just see what it is, can't you? he told Mir.

"There's no need to whisper in your minds. Just ask me if you want to know," a soft, melodious voice echoed through the darkness. Evan jumped; it seemed to have read his mind. As the creature made its way into the light, Evan saw, with relief, that "it" was just a young girl. Come to think of it, Evan thought, she looks kind of familiar...

"We meet again, then?" the girl's face showed no emotion as she swept past the spot where Evan now stood rooted. He had met her before. The girl who had looked so melancholic, the girl who made him feel a bit of guilt as he chased her away... She was that Flame Wizard. The one who had pleaded him to let her take down the monsters so that she could become strong enough to protect her precious ones...

"Remember... I always remember... Those who have been so bad... So very bad... To me..." she whispered as crystal tears trickled down her pale face. Evan couldn't do anything, the guilt was overwhelming, at that moment he just wished to vanish...

"Angel's Rain! What are you doing here? Come on, let's get you back to the hospital..." a nurse suddenly popped out of nowhere. "Oh hello, one of her friends, I suppose? Come on, why don't you come to the hospital along with us..." Evan was suddenly jolted out of the reverie, the reverie which was not peaceful. He shook his head. What was he doing, letting this get to him? I was being ridiculous, he thought.

And yet you let her get to you? Mir said, amused. Evan scowled.

At the hospital, Angel's Rain let the nurses tuck her into the bed without any complaint. "Now, be a good girl and don't escape again," the nurse reminded her. She did not reply, but rather stared at her dirty fingernails. The nurse sighed. "Well, at least it's good that she has a friend to visit her, she's been ever so lonely since she was admitted here..." the nurse smiled at Evan as she brought him a cup of tea. I am so glad that Mir can become invisible. If not, everyone would scream, Evan thought.

Then, unable to control a question, he blurted out. "Um... Why did that girl -I mean Angel's Rain- get admitted here?" The nurse looked surprised. "Don't you know? Aren't you her friend? Oh well, no harm in telling you even if you don't know her. She slit her wrists," the nurse said, lowering her voice and checking on the girl. Evan choked on his tea.

"She what?" he said.

"Slit her wrists. We had a lot of patients before, most of them affected by experiments, some of them turned suicidal, but this is the youngest case I've ever seen. And this isn't even her first try at suicide. The first time, she used her fire element to start a fire and tried to burn herself to death. Fortunately, we managed to get her back. But really... I see no reason for her to kill herself..." the nurse mumbled as she stood and made her way to another patient.

In a different way, she is strong, Mir observed, to be able to summon courage to face Death. Evan kept silent. This girl was different from others. She was not afraid to die. Rather, she accepted dying. Better to die than to see my life go to waste by not assisting the Empress, her attitude said. My life is dedicated to the Empress. In that very moment, he understood, her feelings were not so different from his when Mir and himself decided to dedicate their lives to helping others...

There was an awkward pause. Evan knew he should go to see the girl but he wasn't sure how well she might take him. He had been one of those mean to her. And -a horrible thought occurred to him- it was always possible that she had attempted suicide because he had made her give up her chance at power. Mir, sensing his thoughts as usual, poked him. Just do what you feel is right, he said.

Evan nodded. Yeah.
