"KUSO!" she screamed. Then smiled. "Thank God." She really didn't want to fight anymore.

Milton came into focus. He had read her thoughts. "You're the best bullshiter I know, Nyx. You'll pull it off well."

"What are you talking about?"

"Now that you know who you are, this isn't for you. It's not your thing, as you love to say."

Nyx sat beneath the tree. "Yeah well I have to, right? How do you know I really didn't want to take Mercy out? She did betray my loyalty, after all."

"Because if you wanted to, you wouldn't have merely punched her. The power of Gwydion is inside of you. You have the ability to make use of it and you know that. Mercy and Rapath would have been sorely beaten if you wanted to take them out."

Milton approached her and sat facing her. He smiled.

"All that might change, you know. I could snap. I could enjoy battle again."

He laughed. "You've always enjoyed battled. It took me four hundred years to change your ways. I can't believe I'm doing the opposite of that now. You were choosen as Nakago No Otaku and that is the burden you must bear. This is a battle to the death till only one is left standing." Milton hated to see her fight, but he also didn't want to lose her. "But right now, just watch your back." he stood up and started to go.

"I won't kill... not unless I have to... even then..." she spoke softly. "I won't."

Milton smiled.

Nyx opened up Hammerspce. "Now come on. We have to find Celly."
