Whether it be out of sheer curiosity or pity, Liam followed Neidr as he stumbled down the stairs. Once back to the steady wooden floor of Rotham tower, Neidr's steps grew certain and calm. Liam dragged his beaten and battered body behind Neidr, he was still hurting from the fight in the fields. Neidr deftly made his way through the twisting and turning hallways of the tower, leading to an unnecessarily long silence between the two parties. The suspense was unsettling and lead to a thick awkwardness in the air. Neidr walked all the way back to the room that he shared with Liam before and finally spoke after ensuring the door was closed behind him. By this point, Liam was exasperated beyond belief. Whatever Neidr was about to say better be important. He had left Elizabeth all only in that den of beasts called the nobility, but this villain in front of him seemed to know alot about what had happened and how they had suffered. Liam didn't know what sort of trap Neidr was trying to set, but if it got him closer to helping about the students who had lived through the perils of battle with him, he would not cower away.

Neidr looked at Liam and smiled murkily saying,

"This place doesn't like to have so many peasants in their ranks, If you want proof, just look at the condition of the people you fought alongside and the condition of those nobles at the banquet. One is welcomed with open arms, while the other is thrown into the meat grinder and scorned." [Neidr] Liam tightened his fists, knowing what he was hearing was the truth, that this place shared Neidr's disdain for the poor. Why else would his smile be so vicious while saying such grim things?

"There are more peasants set to enter this place than ever before, that is because of you. So, you get your title and come back in style while the rest of them have to march and slog their way here, you are much like a noble yourself."[Neidr]

"I AM NOTHING LIKE THEM."[Liam] Neidr's smile grew wider and even more twisted as he said,

"Nothing like them, haven't you left everyone there to die? For what? For the benefits you received for being the leader of a generation?" [Neidr] Neidr shook his head and said,

"There is nothing wrong with being selfish sometimes."[Neidr] Neidr shrugged his shoulder as if it were natual and Liam rushed up and grabbed Neidr's collar, looking him dead in the eyes, his spittle flew as he asked with haste,

"What do you mean dead?"[Liam]

"There will be an accident. It happens all the time, the brave souls that passed the test go home to Rotham and some unfortunately fall to their deaths. Tragic really, Strangely enough, it's usually the most outstanding of their generation. Although, the accident won't be so mild as that seeing as you are here rather than there." [Neidr] Neidr let out a laugh and said,

"If an accident won't befall the most precious, it will most certainly befall the masses. By agreeing to come here, you have signed their death warrant and exchanged your lives for theirs. How does it feel to be a little selfish?" [Neidr] Liam slammed his fist into the wooden wall, recited a spell, and created a scorch mark with his magic power, he snarled,

"You're lying!" [Liam] Neidr's smile went from ear to ear as he spoke softly,

"want to make a bet? If I win you have to promise to always work for me, listen to whatever I say even if I order you to die. Of course, to be fair, if you win its vice versa." [Neidr] Liam's eyes shot wide open and he couldn't help, but say,

"Are you that sure or that crazy?" [Liam] Neidr grabbed Liam's hand and removed it from his shirt as he said,

"Its very simple to figure out, count how many come back." [Neidr] Liam stumbled backwards and forcefully sat down on the floor. He looked at his palms as if they had committed some great sin and started to whisper to himself maniacally,

"It can't be it can't be it can't be what have I done?" [Liam] At this point Neidr was a little scared he broke the protagonist, so interceded.

"Well, they don't have to die..."[Neidr] Liam shot up and rushed to Neidr, his eyes bulged as he asked excitedly,

"How!? How do we save them!?" [Liam] Neidr grabbed Liams arms, his eyes colored with excitement and joy as he said with pleasure,

"We kill Professor Loso."[Neidr] Hearing this, and seeing the abject joy on Neidr's face, Liam fell silent, he felt like he was doused with a bucket of cold water and lightening had shot up his spine, his excitement faded to shock,

"Kill? A professor?"[Liam] Liam's voice was shaky, but Neidr's face returned to its usual calm as he spoke softly,

"Yes, afterall, he used his magic to kill students. Isn't it fitting that he is killed by one as well? He will use to beast to swarm the students and slaughter them. Now that you and Elizabeth are gone, they have no leader."[Neidr] Neidr shrugged his shoulders and said,

"They may not all die, but a lot will."[Neidr]

"How do you know all this? Why are you helping me?" [Liam] Neidr gave a helpless smile and put a finger in front of his lips,

"A good warrior cannot abandon his sources at will. As for why I'm helping you, I've already said," [Neidr] Neidr's eyes lit up again as he said,

"You're going to help me kill Loso, that is unless you want all those that rely on you to die. Ah, "[Neidr] Neidr sighed,

"I can't wait to see the look on Zalar's face when his apprentice dies." [Neidr] Liam looked deep in his eyes and decided he would reevaluate this man in front him. He was more and more sure by the second that Neidr had killed Cito Mors. However, he felt that they all had the motive wrong. This man, no, this creature did not kill Cito out of hatred. He did it because it brought him joy. Liam shivered at the thought and looked at Neidr's deep blue eyes with dread. Eyes that appeared jovial, but were truly colder than ice.

Meanwhile, Neidr thought,

'If I save this damn fool's army, he'll have a hell of a lot easier time dealing with what happens in the future. Plus, he should think more about the decisions he makes from now on. Or at least, I hope. As for the source? Who would believe me if I said I knew the future?'
