Ceth was silent for a moment, seeing the vermillion hair.

"Ah... ah..." he stammered.

"Xeri!" he called to the female in the room.

"Xeri, there's been a development!" he said further, before kneeling down slightly.

"Hey..." he addressed the girl.

"You all right?" he asked. "You need help?" he asked further.

"...and... can you sense me...?" he then asked her.

Ceth looked at Xeri in silence for a moment, before sighing.

"Fine..." he said.

He then got up and made his way to the door, pausing as he reached it.

'Who could it be...?' he wondered.

'Is it...?' he then wondered further, before opening the door.

And seeing a child there.

"Uh... can I help you?" he asked.

Adym looked at Callie and sighed as well.

"We'll try to find a way to help you regain your memory." he said.

"Somehow." he mumbled.

"I'm sure we'll find a way. We have to at least TRY." he reasoned.

"Absolutely." Kai agreed.

"After all, as they say, nothing is impossible." he said. "Especially in a world such as this one." he chuckled.

Adym just smiled.

"He has a point." he told Callie.

"....yeah." Adym mumbled.

"Yourself, Kai, me... a mysterious fourth one..." he went on.

"Now I really AM wondering how many cruxes are on this ship." he said.

"Heh." Kai chuckled.

"It really IS kind of neat." he admitted.

"Regardless, it might not be perfect, but I'm glad I finally get to see you again, Callie." he then said to the young woman.

"I'm glad you're not... well... dead."

Kai shook his head.

"Not really." he replied.

"If the one that he's connected to IS on the ship, then all he can do is 'follow his sense' as it gets more intense, until he can reasonably tell who they are." he went on.

"Sadly, there's not even a way to tell which crux he's connected to, in terms of 'element' or whatever." he continued.

"It's always just such a vague feeling and stuff." he added with a shrug and a sigh.

"Interesting..." Adym mumbled.

"I may need to wander about this ship, see if I can hone in on who it is." he told them, thinking about it.

"He did?" Adym asked.

"Yeah." Kai responded.

"Seems that was just her 'crux sense' going off, telling her that the crux she was connected to was nearby." he told him. "In this case, well... me." he clarified.

"Oh! I see." Adym replied.

"Well, that's good." he said, before pausing.

"...wait a moment..." he mumbled.

"I'VE been feeling the same way since I got on the ship..."

Kail was silent, and sighed.

"She doesn't remember me, even though we were kids together." he said.

"....yeah." Adym mumbled.

"I'm fairly certain Vyran is responsible for that. But I'm not sure HOW." he went on.

He then looked at Callie.

"By the way..." he said, trailing off some.

"How's your head?" he asked her.

"Shhh, shh-shh." Ryker said soothingly, as he rubbed Eke's back.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because he's an ass." he said.

"Plain and simple. He's not really good people. He's grown to like you, and others as well, but he's still a demon, and he says crap that is hurtful." he went on.

"That's all." he continued.

"Eke, you're not broken. I know. We all know. HE knows." he then said.

"He's just got a really short temper, you know that."

Adym looked over, and watched at Kai entered.

"...ah, you're the one that was making a ruckus earlier." he said.

"Guilty." Kai admitted.

"..." Adym was then silent, before looking Kai up and down.

"You... are like us, aren't you?" he asked.

"Hence why you brought him here, Callie?" he then asked Callie.

Kai raised an eyebrow when she said that.

"Eh?" he mumbled.

"Saw someone?" he asked.

"Uh... all right..." he went on, looking around, though he wasn't sure for WHAT.

"Anyway, let's get moving." he agreed, as they continued to walk.

Meanwhile, the one that had bumped shoulders with Callie spared her a quick glance... before seemingly sighing heavily, and continuing on their way.

Ryker just held Eke close.

"I know you're not broken." he said.

"You were never broken." he assured him further.

"The only thing that's broken right now is your heart." he then told him.

"And we can help you with that." he went on.

"We all love you and care about you, Eke. Let us help you bounce back from this, okay?"

Kai nodded in response.

"Heh." he chuckled.

"THERE'S the confidence I knew you had." he said. "Guess that's one thing that can never be taken away from you." he commented.

"And yeah, sure, I'll meet this Adym." he told her.

"The more, the merrier." he reasoned.

He then got up and brushed himself off, sighing quietly.

"Oh, and don't worry if I sometimes just disappear." he told her.

"That'll just be me going for a swim."

"Hopefully you can either remember it again or relearn it." Kai mumbled.

"Because your power IS something special." he said.

"Or, rather, you really had a knack for it." he clarified.

"My goodness, your father was so proud of you." he went on, pausing for a moment.

"We used to combine my water and your ice, and make huge ice slides that were really slippy and we used them to barrel into pools and oh boy..." he continued, reminiscing a bit.

"Those were more carefree days, I suppose..." he then added quietly.

"I... see." Kai responded.

"Well, if you don't mind, I'll tag along with you." he said.

"We cruxes clumping together may be a big target, but it's a lot of power." he went on.

"We'll give anyone a run for their money." he chuckled.

"Especially you." he said further.

"Your power is pretty strong." he commented.
