The waves of the Dolmaiyan river trail seem eerily calm, yet the current is strong nonetheless. As we see the river rushing by, the party is seen riding down the river trail. Thrax is rowing the barge in an easy stride. As they move further down the river, they notice that the noise of the mob scene several 100-yards away from the heart of Tanchi City has slowly eliminated itself. It is quite noticeable that everyone is in total silence. Several minutes pass before anyone says a word. The scene is quite similiar to a scene in the movie EXECUTIVE DECISION just after Colonel Austin Travis was killed when the remaining soldiers that made it on board to the commercial airliner sat in the avionics bay stunned by what had just happened. If anyone is gonna break the silence, let it be TRITHAL to do so.
TRITHAL: "Hey, I just thought of something: when we were in battle with Galaria, i couldve used that ALLY DOWN item on Alys and she could have revived everybody...(chuckling)...aint that silly? (gives weak chuckle)
.........
..........
.........
No one says a word. Finally after a few seconds, CHRIS decides he wants to chime in on TRITHAL's proclivity to be so blase about what just happened.
CHRIS: "No one cares about that now, Trithal."
TRITHAL, not wanting to be proven a stooge by his horticulture-obsessed party member, snaps back a response, "Hey, I care, Chris! We could have had an easier battle with her if I would have saved that ALLY DOWN item and let Alys revive the rest of the party!"
CHRIS: "...Well, fuck you then. Does anyone wanna talk about what happened? I mean, did something happen while I was gone because I'm not getting it."
Palledoris: "Nothing that would cause Axem to be arrested. If that is true, then it doesn't make any sense why he was detained. What in the world could Ali have to do with it? That's what I don't get."
Aelle: "Tsutaru, we haven't been with you guys for very long. Is there anything Axem could have done that would've landed him in detainment?"
TRITHAL: "Not that I know of. He doesn't tell me alot of stuff. He is kinda secretive."
Alys: "Lord Thrax, what about you? Do you know of anything?"
THRAX pauses for a second looking like he might know something, but then decides that it is most likely unrelated and simply utters, "No."
CHRIS: "I don't know anything either."
TRITHAL: "No one asked you, CHRIS!"
CHRIS: "Hey, I know Axem just as much as you do! I think I have something to say!"
Seconds before an argument was about to erupt between the two, Danika butts in, "Would you two put that argument on hold?"
Anri: "Ok. Obviously, we all have alot of questions that aren't gonna be answered anytime soon. This mountain castle, that's at Mount Sabretooth, correct?"
TRITHAL: "Yeah."
Anri: "So what's the plan when we get there?"
TRITHAL: "Well, I have a feeling that our pal Midus will know alot more about this than we do. And with that in mind, I say we march in, and ask him what the fuck is going on with this gayness."
Danika: "Until then, let's talk about what we do know about our friend, Axem."
TRITHAL: "He steals all the hotties--"
CHRIS: "He has me beat in every category--"
THRAX: "He is a stomp mothafucker."
Danika: "O...k, that wasn't what I meant. Well, I can tell you a few things I know about him based on the time I spent with him in that cave. I know he is swinging gigolo who sometimes lets his dick control his thoughts. I know that he is kinda cocky...and...(looking over at Rishna)...I know that he likes to take advantage of hot sexy young girls."
Rishna stands up and gets up in her sister's face and yells, "Fuck you, Danika, you don't know a damn thing about Axem! He is much more than that!"
Danika: "Much more than sex, rock n' roll, and boozing? That's all crap!"
Rishna (after sitting back down): "No, I mean we did spend alot of time talking and he is really quite sensitive."
Danika: "You mean when he wasn't screwing yours brains out?"
Rishna stands back up and gets in her sister's face again. Just then, Aelle gets up and gets between them.
TRITHAL (chortles): "Now who can't put an argument on hold..."
Aelle: "Sisters, please! Let's stay focused! (to THRAX, TRITHAL, CHRIS): "Which one of you knew more about Axem?"
TRITHAL: "It's kind-of-a toss up between me and Thrax."
Aelle: "Ok, is there anything that happened before we joined you guys?"
TRITHAL: "I dunno. I mean, He was talking to Ali here and there...maybe he just pissed her off."
CHRIS: "You can't arrest someone for that, dude."
TRITHAL: "Well, maybe you can if you're a fucking Prefect..."
Alys: "Lord Thrax, you have barely managed to utter one word. Has anything happened before all of this?"
THRAX stares off into space a little bit looking like he has a lot on his mind. He turns to Alys and just says, "No."
TRITHAL: "Thrax, would you just say what you know?"
CHRIS: "Yeah, dude, you haven't said much."
THRAX (speaking quietly): "It is taking every ounce of energy and restrain I have to avoid yelling and cursing at the top of my lungs while at the same time destroying things."
TRITHAL: "Yeah, I know what you mean, but if you are keeping us in the dark, then it ain't doing us any good... so out with it."
THRAX: "Pssh, the only thing I can think of....(trails off)...pssh....is....I dunno know. I don't even see how it could even be related, but he...pssh...nevermind."
Rishna: "You are very bad at pretending like you don't know anything, Lord Thrax."
THRAX: "Look, he doesn't really tell me a whole lot either. All I know is he told me that something fucked-up happened to him a couple of years ago. He didn't say much beyond that. I'm just wondering if that may have something to do with it. He said it was never resolved. All I could get out of him was that this problem kind-of just lingered on so I assume that it is unresolved. If it is unresolved then maybe it could have came back at him and bit him in the ass."
Palledoris: "Ok, let's entertain this idea.......suppose that thing did come back to backfire on him......What does it have to do with Ali?"
THRAX: "I don't fucking know! All I know is that...I want to kill that bitch for having Axem arrested for something so stupid."
The party is rather shocked to hear THRAX ultimately make that kind of a threat about Duchess Ali, so the party just leaves it at that and keeps their mouths shut.
