wrong doings. It was as though their DNA didn't allow them to
make good decisions. But the Altors... They were engineered lap
dogs and instead of admitting this and acting like the guards they
were meant to be, they thought themselves to be wiser than the
Civilians and thus allowed to make decisions in their stead. If
only the Civilians knew their fate lay in the hands of those that
were supposed to
protect and serve them! But those who angered Galax most were the
Palliums. They were about as delusional as the Regius and Altors,
but were too scared to use their superiority to take their land
back. How contradicting.
    Believing they are smarter,
better, wiser and more apt to take care of a country because their
deity told them they were. Yet that same deity made sure the
Palliums wouldn’t step out of their comfort zone and allowed the
arrogant lap dogs to do all the heavy lifting.
    There was progress believed
to have been made over the last years: the Palliums no longer
neutral, the Regius without a King, the Civilians seemingly less
and less aware of what was going on right in front of their eyes,
the Altors demanding change but never a change within their own
hierarchy. And then the Seers! Cowering away even though they held
the greatest power available in this land. They could force the
Altors to change their ways, show the Palliums that they weren't
doing enough, and manipulate the Regius to move into the opposite
direction. But no!
    "Dude." Galax blinked when
Isa's voice pierced his dark thoughts, forcing him to tear his gaze
off the Coliseum so he could look back at the pirate. "Easy there.
Gotta be careful with that. You've been zoning out and allowing the
pessimism to wash over you a lot these last couple of days." When
Galax could only stare at the Ranger and remain stuck in a loop,
Isa stepped closer and snapped his fingers before the Prince's
face.
    "In." Galax breathed in as
the pirate instructed. "And out..." He did so, taking his time and
repeating this, allowing Isa to guide him through it. It had been
happening more often and it was becoming harder for him to break
out of it and find his way back to who he truly was. "If you think
you can't make it, say so, and I'll swallow my pride and face my
bastard twin and his whore of a girlfriend just so I can make sure
you don't go on a killing spree." The pirate's eye twitched. "You
look really out of it, man."
    Galax shook his head,
finally able to grasp himself. "No, I'm fine. You've done more than
enough."
    Isa smiled uncertainly.
"It's probably for the best. What if you entered that doom mood and
the only people around were Iso and Ivy." He pulled a large saber
out of his belt loop. "I would probably take advantage and let you
butcher them. I'd enjoy it too." The Prince gingerly took the
weapon out of his hands.
    "I think you may want to
consider working out those feelings you're harboring towards your
family." Galax suggested, sliding the blade into the belt strapped
over his back.
    "Says the guy whose weapon
I had to confiscate before he would have killed me and the crew
that was keeping us up in the
sky , in a blinding rage." Isa
deadpanned.
    "Mine are caused because
I'm a pure Blue Blood that has been forced to repress his natural
instincts for years and my girlfriend was kidnapped by my blood
family whose mission in life is to conquer Zinc and destroy every
living soul that won't let them." Galax raised an eyebrow. "The day
you can top that is when I'll understand your
frustration."
    "You're no fun." Isa waved
his hand flippantly at Galax before turning and walking back to the
spot Apnea had landed carefully, deep in the Meadows of Serenium.
Galax hadn't asked the pirate to walk all the way to the Coliseum
with him, but where he'd believed Isa to be careless and more
selfish than he, apparently it wasn't so. If his history with
certain Altors in that building looming before him hadn't been so
heavy and great, Galax was quite sure Isa would have snuck
