TO CUT A TURNING TAIL

51). TEAR IT DOWN

Sitting at a dull old fashioned wooden coffee table of a dull abandoned house with decent decorum are Connell and Zenith. The room is much of a cuboid, foggy Clarendon blue vibes and abandoned furniture lying behind Connell with an opaque, broken window with that dark blue shine above it. Maybe an abandoned alleyway out from the window.

 The door is open but the weather outside is cloudy and dark. The brown rusted door is no fun to look at though, just like the rugged brown sofa lying next to it in the hiding of the blue wall. On the other hand, is Burma, behind him is a little kitchen with an open slab giving the kitchen's scenario, though Jon cannot see it, all he can see is those wooden pillars over the slab on both sides.

"And Birthwash? Was it a good decision?" asks Connell's voice,in an upper-British accent. Burma smirks, though consolidative of Connell's emotions. Connell smiles with understanding. As they both get up, a flashing wind covers Connell's senses, with a flash, Jon came in and tries to kick Burma. But he dodges.

"Never thought you would embody the word traitor so well" he tells Connell. He is standing in front of the sofa like a broken soul with a slouching sway back position. Prepared in his robes. Where did he hide all this time? Actually, he had been sitting on a white bar with his ken activated, he committed the mistake of doing so. To be honest, he wanted to teleport away but even a single movement would have made the two aware as they both have sharp senses. So, he wasted some energy and stayed.

 "Well, I need your memory now," he commands. "I never saved a shit in memory card" she rebukes. "Even I don't know how to save shit in a memory card, I'm talking about the goddamn thing it is named after. Damn, forgot you were a liar, for a moment you had me confused". He looks at both of them, Connell is calm but nervous, Burma- it is the first time Jon has seen him, [as he can't see anything in ken aura]

 "Should we finish this here only or do you want to call your buddies?" he asks Burma. "And remove that fake tattoo please. I might look dumb but I'm not. If you want to fight me, it'd be fine. But I have some work with Primus. I can't let you harm me much during that time". Burma looks at Connell and with a goodbye affirmation, he starts to walk away. "I literally have no reputation here!" Jon cries.

 Burma runs to Jon, his speed is indeed remarkable, not even half as fast as Jon's but better than any human. As he runs to him, Jon takes his stance, his Ken marks disappearing simultaneously. He kicks at Burma at the right time; however, Burma has his body tilted, Jon sways the leg immediately as he realizes Burma is going for such a pose but he is disturbed by the dark frame of a phoenix's finger. The phoenix? Remember the hologram Zenith made as a kid, the one that can change its size. It is jet black in colour as Jon sees it, looks just like a handsome hitman.

It passes right in front of his eye and Jon is somehow distracted. Those squinting eyes see much to let Burma go running away and a little black disc flying in the air. Jon passes through the phoenix with a forward flip as he abruptly developed this absurd superstition that his eyes will be affected if his head passes straight through the phoenix. He has two daggers flowing in the air, one towards the goddamn disc and the other towards that foolish Burma. 

However, one is being knocked by Burma himself and the other, well it just got past the deceptive hologram of a disc. The flying disk looked real when compared to the phoenix, which was a fine animation but not as alluring as the lustrous disc. Suddenly, Jon hears a clanging. Connell is standing adjoined to him; they both immediately teleport away. Jon might've just cursed.

They are back to their spot, he immediately starts to chastise Connell. "What is that? Huh? You think you're smart? Well, you're, I admit. But you must seriously be kidding me. And birthwash?! Is that like... your surname? It seems so, what do you do? Wash a human when it takes birth? Or give birth to different powers that can harness water?" Jon himself is intrigued as he unwisely states all this.
