"you had to go that far" he whispered when Ava came to them
" yea...  There was a high chance you were going to kill me"  she replied.
"and you could have killed me too " Kelvin retorted
" yes...  But i was able to achieve something"
" yea... well what's that" Kelvin inquired sitting up on one arm.
"the next time you transform,  you'll be in control,  no matter how big you get "
" really"  Edda sat up excitedly.
"yea i figured we could use that side of him in his right mind "
Kelvin wasn't sure if that was a compliment or not, but continued to examine the rest of his body slowly.

Vulcan and Marcus helped pull him up to his feet,  when they reached them.
" that was one hell of an act you all put on out here tonight " Kelvin began
" one of you could have been hurt "
" well if didn't look real you wouldn't have fallen for it " Mia replied picking up his chain.
" give me that " Ava said yanking it away from her
She studied it for a bit then handed it over to Kelvin,  now there just one more thing you need to be able to do,  but i cant teach that,  you need to be able to do that yourself"
"what is it" Rava asked anxiously
"transformation at will,  it could be the difference between winning and loosing "
" but i don't know how to do that " Kelvin retorted
" that's why i said learn "
" alright enough talk everybody... bed time " Edda said getting up from the water side where she had washed her hair... 

                                      At dawn they were up again, after a brief analysis of their next stop point they saddled their horses,  and we're on their way again. They discussed the battle of the previous night in groups, the girls stuck together and the boys too. Except Levi who as always walked in front,  leading the way.

They came to a cross road where Levi had taken a turn to his left and the others followed on,  but Kelvin. The roads practically led the same way,  just that the Left was a lot longer so he decided to inform them.
Levi stopped his horse when he heard him,  and so did the others, without waiting for Levi's instructions,  they turned around and began riding in that direction. And to Kelvin's surprise Levi didn't react, something was off about him,  he had been a bit more detached from things than usual,  but what was going on in his head was what Kelvin couldn't pinpoint.

Edda Ava and Rava also were surprised, and he could feel their eyes on him,  but he kept to his unusual smile. He rode past Kelvin without giving him so much as a glance.
Before long he was in front of the line again, riding quietly. The others following slowly from behind. Carina doubled her pace and caught up with Levi
"hey captain " she said softly
" what's up "  Levi responded looking in her direction
" I'm alright"   she said with a soft smile.
"yea,  good to hear that soldier " he replied returning his gaze forward
" you've been acting a little weird lately, and i was starting to worry"
"something strange about it"    he asked.  She shook her head slowly with  a stare that showed that she wasn't hindered or bothered by his words
"you ever wanna talk about it,  ill be here" she winked and slowed her horse down for the others to catch up.

                                          At sunset, the horizon began to look really uneven,  but after minutes of riding,  it began to take shape,  forming buildings, with lit up windows,  spread over a vast area of land. Levi slowed down when he noticed the city, trying to decide whether or not to go in. the mission had consumed enough time already. He didn't even know which city it was, but there was a huge chance it was the gargoyle city.
He was still thinking about the order to give,  when he heard Kelvin's name being called repeatedly.
He turned to see Kelvin riding east of their position with a great speed,  Dru in front.
They all kept yelling at Kelvin on top of their voice,  but he didn't stop,  they waited for Levi to give an order,  but he was too stunned to.

Edda gripped her reins tightly and moved her waist hard against the saddle to move her horse forward. She chased after him.  The others stood anxiously waiting for Levi to give the order. But he told them to make camp instead.
Edda followed Kelvin on for minutes,  afraid of losing sight of him,  which she eventually did after a couple hundred meters. She looked in all her directions, but saw and heard nothing it was all quiet and still. Which made her suspicion rise. She turned around to see if the others followed,  but the was alone,  out in the open,  with no protection of any kind, she dreaded the feeling of vulnerability, and it kept coming to her from all directions,  so much so that her horse felt it from the way she tugged at the reins. She swore she was going to kill kelvin when she eventually found him.
