"We will hear him out," Alex promised, petting her head. "I promise, my love."

D had led Zane to a bedroom, where there was a bed, and a floating platform that had plenty of food for the elf. "Rest. If you need anything just yell," the wizard said as he walked off, leaving the elf on the bed, with the floating platform of food in his reach.

D soon returned and he was quick to say something. "Your life is truly hell, isn't it, Alex?" he laughed.

"D..."

"A lot has happened. You're weakened right now. I know. Perfect time to finish your training."

"...What?" Alex gasped as he looked at his master.

"Your training. I can tell you're going to need help, and I sure as hell ain't going with you. I've had enough madness today. You're on your own," D said. He then looked at Tiff, Lillia, and the others. "You're an important part of this. If you truly love Alex, then it shouldn't be a problem."

Alex glared at D, before looking at his girls, comforting if they were afraid of D's words. Honestly, Alex was just as scared, maybe more. He remembered the pain D sent him through....If this was supposed to be some final test, it wouldn't be easy.
