Lan glances away. "How do you expect people to react seeing... A walking skeleton?" Lan gets to her feet, though her legs are shaking. "W-Why do you want to help me? Most want my family to be removed." "I told you. I wish to prevent the Chaos of a civil war. I wish to prevent senseless loss of life. I know this body is unsightly, and I can't blame you for your initial reaction, but I hope you will not judge solely on appearances." "H-How do you know it'll bring civil war?" He frowns and looks back, still a bit shaken up. |

He frowns and looks back, still a bit shaken up. "Simple politics. I've seen such things happen before. With your family gone the Dracmere will assuredly try and take the throne. The Icemene family and the Traetus family would also attempt to take the throne, Each would burn and pillage their way to Aristia, and whomever got there first would be besieged by the remainder of the forces. Meanwhile farmer's crops would be stolen to fund these campaigns or burned so the opposition could not have them. Women and children would be raped and murdered and those that managed to survive would starve to death not soon after. Not that anyone would remember them mind you. It would go down in history how brave the Dracmere family was for taking the throne, that's who my money would be on at least. And how they slaughtered the other oppressors. We've seen it countless times. War never changes." |

"I preserve life remember. Only makes sense I would preserve my own." |

He frowns "And yet you decide I'm just some generic bad?!" he sounds very insulted, "Do you always decide you don't like people who try to help you?" |

"You come to me in this body that's not even yours spouting how I befriend the wrong people and that you should be trusted when I don't know you." |

"Trust may be earned I ask that you give me a chance, another at this school already has. And I am not occupying this body. Barnabas is merely carrying me. He cannot speak himself you see." The skeleton's left hand comes out from beneath the robes, revealing a huge crystal the size of your head glowing and pulsing with light of every color at once, in one hand. It flares up when the voice speaks. |

You may go and tell the wrong people who would want to kill us." a slight twang of fear seeping into it's voice. |

Preventing a war is reward enough for me, though if it would make you feel better there is another request I can make. There are some children who came to the graveyard a few nights back. If you could assure that they do not return I would greatly appreciate that" |

They hate me and I rather not have to get ugly with them since one is a ball of fire nut case." |
