13 Phyrraium (2/2)

Arius looked his leg over, then his gaze travelled in Dante's direction. ”So, you can heal people?” He didn't really know exactly what Dante had been doing the past thirty minutes, but he definitely felt the lack of pain.

”Mhm. I'm sorry I didn't tell you.” Dante nodded. Arius smiled, then lifted his hand to mess up Dante's light brown hair.

Arius's smile momentarily disappeared as he looked at Dante seriously. ”You need to start telling me these things. Or else I can't protect you, understand?” When he nodded, Arius went back to smiling.

Zuna watched as Arius stood up and picked up Dante. She had sat down awhile ago, so she stood up aswell. ”Hey.” She spoke anxiously. ”How can immortals die?”

”Dante?” Arius asked aswell.

Dante looked back and forth between them. ”It's a crystal called Phyrraium. When you hold it, you are no longer immortal.”

”Phyrraium?” Arius was stunned. He'd never heard of that word before, and he was immortal. He figured there would be some sort of trick to dying, but it was a stone.

”What does it look like?” Zuna looked over at Dante with her clear Hazel eyes.

”I'm not sure. I only know the name because my brother mentioned it a few times.” Dante answered.

”Then, we should go find your brother, right?” She asked without thinking.

”Wait, 'We'?” Arius asked with a teasing smile.

”Sorry for not asking first, but isn't that why you came to find me? To have me join you?” Zuna tilted her head sarcastically.

”Alright then, I accept you as part of the team.” Arius nodded in approval, but Zuna simply scoffed.

”Are you coming with us?” Dante asked.

”I can't. I'd end up killing that guy in the car.” She shook her head.

Arius looked at her and turned around to walk towards the car. ”No, you're coming with, we'll just leave Pierre here.”
