Oh boy, here we go. [quote]It was myself- a warlock, and my companion- the titan. He addressed me as Zeus, though there was very little times he saw fit to speak at all. I had come to grips with this, and we usually worked in silent. The silence, on this day, was strange. There was more than a lack of words, there was a lacking beyond my comprehension. There were no roars of life as we were accustomed, nor any winds as is common on Mars. As we made our way into the courtyard, the titan whipped his finger around to bring to my attention the rooftops surrounding us. We were easy prey to snipers. The absent wind, the glaring sun, and our shining armor made us prime targets. As I jogged to catch up with the titan, there was a sudden crack. The titan shuddered. He spun on his foot, shaken, and fell against the stairs. I heard feet patter on the rooftop across from us, with a disgustingly pleased tone in the trot. I grasped the titan's arm, and pulled him under the awning. I knew the sniper would come soon to confirm the kill, and likely wasn't alone. We needed to move. "C'mon, we've got to go." He shook his head, and looked down to his wound. "You're a titan! Get up!" He raised his hand to shush me. "Surely you aren't just letting me go alone. How [i]could[/i] you!" His body shook. It was a gentle movement, but I knew what it was, and it was the most horrifying thing I'd ever seen. He was crying. "Please... don't." He looked up to me. I couldn't see his face, though I felt him looking me in the eye. "I am sorry, Zeus. Now is the time for [i]you[/i] to be the titan."[/quote]
