"Where could we possibly go that we will not be found?" The Dark Slinger questioned.

"My old house, if its still intact at least. I was forced to abandon it when I found out you were a traitor, me and my slugs knew it wouldn't be safe as you knew where I lived. I haven't been there for 20 years because of the Stone Warrior's. It will be last place everyone trying to kill us will expect to find us."

"Actually that might work." Eli replied

"I know, I'm a genius."

"I bet 20 Yang's that it isn't intact." Hamengku betted.

"Now isn't the time Hamengku."

"STOP USING MY OWN WORDS AGAINST ME!"

"No, anyways its just about a 15 minute ride, but before we go, you all need a Serenity Bush to wear."

"Serenity Bush? The flower that we found when we were children that we saved from extinction?" The Dark Slinger replied with a hint of shock.

"Yes, you remembered the name, surprising. After we left it and watered it, it grew rapidly and I came to visit after your traitorous acts and I found it in every corner of the Cavern. I know I make the best names. Oh right, here."

Alyssa offered in her hand the spares they carried in case they somehow ever lost their flowers, luckily there was enough for all of his allies and they didn't need to make extra trips to camp. She handed them to all of his allies but him so she could give to him after she freed him from the Geoshards. But now they had no spares.

"So, why are we going there again?" Replied Eli.

"So I can get my answers that I have been asking myself for 20 years. To find out if he is trustable. To find out if he destroyed my former home or not. To find out what did he do to Sparks. to find out what happened to Sparks. To find out where Sparks is. But most importantly, does Hamengku owe me 20 Yang's?"

"Oh so you're accepting now?"

"Duh, are you deaf?"

"No-"

"Okay, lets roll out."

"THAT'S MY LINE!"

"Duh, are you deaf?"

"OH MY-"

"Let us leave now-"

"Thank you for saving me Jun-"

She stopped. She wasn't sure if she could even trust the fact he was taking his name back. After all, he is the prime suspect of the disappearance of Sparks. Thinking about it made her mad and her hate grow, it was how she coped for the last 20 years. On the first day of being in the resistance, after Astra healed all of those injures, she settled into her own tent and cried for the next few days.

Her master was gone, her best friend was gone, Sparks was gone. How could she trust herself when she let Sparks become a Guardian Slug? That day gave her more severe trust issues, made her hold grudges and the personality change was unreal (according to Hamengku.)

The Dark Slinger just returned but this version had no idea the personality changes, the character development and the pain she went through without him. She lived most of her life that way and he couldn't even remember after the day the Emperor came.

She had no home but she did have a home. The resistance was her home and most of her family was with her, to her, that is what you would call home. Now that the Dark Slinger was back, what if he had truly change? What if calling him the Dark Slinger would pull the trigger, so she just tried not mentioning his name.
