His only light Druig

"Good you guys are here, we have 2 deviants here and here." Phastos points at a map. We are currently in the domo and I rest my head on druigs shoulder.

"Okay me and kingo can go." Ikaris said outloud.

"Excuse you." I look at him. Things haven't been the same between us. I was still very much upset and he held onto his fragile ego.

"Ajak makes the calls ikaris unless you have forgotten you place." I felt a hand on my back. I look up and see druig. Ajak stood next to me which angered ikaris even more. I'm not like this, I'm not one to be

Rude

Its just every time we interact now I get that same feeling I did before. Cold.

"Ikaris, cora is right. I think you, cora, Thena, kingo, Gilgamesh, and makkari should go down. As a team. As family." She smiled to all of us. Family. I return the smile and head to get my suit on. Druig follows me.

"I was waiting to give you this until we got to this new city, but seeing as you are heading down and could use it." Druig brought his hands in front of me holding a hair clip. It was white and had pink dots of ink. I looked at him and smiled.

"It reminded me of you, I got it from the other village." He gently pushed back a few hairs that were dangling in my face and clipped them back. He held my head in his hand and kissed my forehead.

"Thank you druig." I smiled and kingo came from around the corner.

"Come on cora we gotta go. Any day now." He gestured to head out. I gave druig one last smile before going off with kingo.

"So cora I kind of slept wrong last night and my back is killing me. Mind taking it off for this battle?" Kingo gave me his hands before we got off the domo. I nodded my head

"Of course kingo!" I closed my eyes and took the pain. The cool feeling rushed through me. Not too cold. I smiled as he cracked his neck and got down. I turn to see druig leaning against the wall watching us. I wink and jump down.

"About time cora go help ikaris." Gilgamesh told me as I look to my right. Ha loser.

"Need some help?" I walk to him with the deviant on top of him. The deviant looked at me and charged. I brought my hands up and it instantly stopped in its tracks.

I tilted my head and smiled at it. Ikaris got up dusting his suit and walked to my right side.

"Well cora. Need me to do this for you too?" He said. I turned to look at him and stared. Not breaking eye contact I slowly spread my hands apart ripping its flesh and bones in half. Holding my stare I drop the body on the dirt.

"I don't know you tell me." I turn my body to see him. He just stares and turned to look behind me. He froze and looked back at me.

Something was coming close

I turn my body quickly around to see the deviant fly towards me and ikaris, it felt as if it was in slow motion but I felt so powerless. Everything happened so fast he hit us but the weight of the deviant and how fast it was going threw us to the ground.

"Ikaris! Cora!" I heard kingo yell. I see ikaris fly up with no issue pushing the deviant off of him.

"I push with my hands but my right hand snapped.

"Ah it got my hand help me!" I scream and shut my eyes closed. I see Thena run to me pushing back my hair and Gilgamesh and ikaris push the deviant off my my body.

"Take them to Ajak hurry!" Kingo signs to makkari. Within the second I was on the table in the domo, the next second ikaris is by my side. I don't even want to see him. He saw the deviant. He knew it was going to hit me yet he did nothing.
