North ran up to the door and knocked a couple times.

A few moments passed and a very ruffled looking Ari answered the door. “North!” He exclaimed happily. “Great to see you!”

"You too. I need to see Zackary." She smiled a bit but as soon as Ari looked away her face went blank again.

“Ummm… I think he’s up in our room… I can’t even see him half the time…” Ari stepped away from the door and back into the kitchen, where presumably food was being made.

"You can't..?" North didn't finish her question and ran upstairs to their room. She opened the door and stepped in. "Zackary?"

The room was dark and empty. At first, one would be able to think that Zackary wasn’t there, but a slight dark gray shimmer from the bed caught her eye. Zackary had sat up to see who entered the room.

"W-why didn't you tell me?" She asked, staring sadly down at him.

Zackary’s unfriendly expression was clear on his faded, handsome features. Perhaps I felt it wasn’t your buisness, especially how you… He shook his head tiredly.

"But..even before that. I thought.." She trailed off realizing she clearly wasn't wanted here. "Fine, i'll just go.."

Zackary grunted and laid back down. She couldn’t see his form very easily; she could also see that he almost was shimmering outwards, as if smaller particles of his being were drifting away from him.

North glanced back at him but shook her head and left the room, closing the door behind her.

Zackary sighed gently, stirring more particles off of his hand, which he held in front of him. This is it.

This is it… Neo’s thoughts echoed Zackary’s as he lined up the eager Orbs in a perfect circle.

North returned back to the library and sat down, her back against a bookshelf.

Neo put his hand in the middle of the shaking Orbs. “I take full responsibility in the caretaking and care for these Orbs as a Guardian rightfully did so earlier. Yet he has vanquished the responsiblity to I, Neophyte Whembrooke, God of Mind Readers and Thoughts. Recognize me, but not praise me, for I only serve to protect.”

(Meh tis oki)

One by one, in the order Neo set them down, Fire to Earth, they shone in recognition. Neo felt a brief, unimaginable power in his chest and got flung off towards the wall. Being kneeled awkwardly he got thrown off of his feet and onto the opposing wall with a crack. He slumped down the wall, unconcious.

Zackary stared at his hands. His fingers couldn’t be seen anymore, and he was fading fast.

They really don’t need me… no one does…

North glanced up, having heard a thump coming from Neo's office. She stood up and walked to his door and opened it. "N-neo? Holy fuck. Neo?!"

Neo’s eyes were shut and he was slumped down in an awkward sitting pose, his upper body slumped over his legs. His head bobbed between his shoulders, his hair lank against his face and shoulders.

North ran over to him and shook him gently. "Neo? Please wake up." She stood up and ran out to Life's office. "You need to come quickly it's Neo, somethings wrong."

Life was not in his office, yet Death was.
“Something’s wrong?” Death asked in his raspy voice.

(death in life's office isn't that a little…metaphorical)
"Yeah it's Neo he's…just come."

(cue M screaming in the background)

Death strided after her to Neo’s office. He bent down and lifted up Neo by the armpits easily.
“He’ll be quite alright. He’s just passed out.”

(today i was talking to this guy and he was like "im gonna spam you" and i was like "oh is that how you're making up for not responding to my texts? ANd hE WAS StuNNED SpeeCHLESS)

"What was he doing?" She glanced over at the orbs.

(Oof)

Death glanced over too. “Ah, the Orb Ritual.” Death’s smile grew wider.

(then i fell over because i was laughing really hard and he was like oh wtf)

North looked at him, a little worried.

“Yes, Neo will be quite alright… I might know the spell to wake him…” He set Neo own in his chair and waved his hands, humming a gently mysterious tune. A few moments later Neo blinked awake.

North felt relieved and leaned up against the door frame.

Neo sat up a little with a faint groan. “Thanks, Death.”
“My pleasure, Neo.”

North muttered something quietly and left the room.

“It’s done, then, Neo?”
“Yes. I now guard the Orbs.”

Zackary squeezed his eyes shut.

I don’t want to die… yet here I go… His hands’ infection slowly started up to his arms.
