Chaos sighed. "Probably something stupid. Why don't you let go of it and come closer." Hunter groaned from the ground, her limbs frozen. She had been bitten by the snake, and its poison had flooded her veins, leaving her immobile.

"Mmm, I don't think you want me to do that," Kye grinned. "Unless you want the whole ceiling to come down on top of us."

Chaos scoffed. "Exaggerated threats get you nowhere."

Kye looked at him with a completely straight face. "Do I look like I'm giving an empty threat?" He looked up the rope. "If my weight leaves this rope, the beam that I tied it to shifts just right and hits the anchor beam bringing the whole roof down."

"And you'd do that? Let it go? I'm not stupid, boy. I know you care for my daughter and," he sniffed, "Order. You wouldn't want to kill them, would you?"

"That's the other thing. I can put a force field around them and protect them, while letting the rest of the cave come down on you, and douche wad pickle pants over there," Kye explained. "One of the things about being friends with a demon that's over four million years old." A purple colored ghost appeared floating next to him. "Meet Gelion, the demon that resides within me."
"Hello Chaos," Gelion twisted around and placed itself between chaos and Kye. "As much power as you think you have, can do nothing to my force fields, except make them stronger."
"Anything witty to say to that?" Kye taunted as the demon disappeared again.

"Who says I want to destroy your shields?" Chaos snorted. "Arrogant much? Besides, I no longer need to be here. I have accomplished what I came to do. Good day, Caveman." He snapped his fingers, and He and Hunter vanished in a burst of silver light.

"Dammit!" Kye bit his lip. He loosened his grip and lowered himself to the ground. Then he tied it down and limped over to Order. The other people in the room were looking around in confusion. "Where might he have gone?"

She shrugged. She still looked nervous, but less like a kicked dog than she had when Chaos was there. "Many places," she said. "He would bring her to a place that would hurt us, though. Like the place where we met." She winced, pulling herself to her feet. Then she noticed that he was limping. "What's wrong, boy?"

"Oh, not much, just that practically every single rib in my body is broken, internal bleeding is a thing, I have more bruises than regular skin, my left arm had a nice long gash down it, and Dickbag is still on the loose. And now he has leverage," Kye snapped. "That about some it up?"

Order recoiled like she had been slapped. She moved closer to him and placed her hands on him. He glowed with a white light, and when it disappeared, he was healed. She stepped away. "There. That's all I can do. I wish you luck on your quest."

Kye looked at her for a moment like she was crazy. "My Quest? Was to find and free you. Not fight a giant coo-coo brained psychopath that wants to destroy the planet. You are the one that needs to get it together and fix this."

"Me?" Order raised herself o her full height, though she was still a few inches shorter than Kye. "This isn't my fault. This was his - and Hunter's. She can fix it. I want no part of this."

"You are her mother," Kye replied in a calm voice. "And you are his wife. Stop letting him treat you like an object. If there is Chaos there has to be Order, otherwise the balance is off and things will never fix themselves. This situation needs Order, just as much as it needs a peace negotiator and a destroyer. Now stop with the whole self pity mantra and start helping me figure out where Chaos has taken Hunter."

"Why should I care about balance?" Order asked bitterly. "The world has been fine without it for this long. Why does it need me now? And why should I care about Hunter? She left me."

"Just because it's surviving, doesn't mean it's doing fine. And Hunter left you to find someone to help her get you freed," Kye lifted his chin to look her in the eyes. "If you are not going to to help me rescue her, and get the world back into order, then point me in the direction so I can rescue her, and stop Chaos."

Order sniffed. "Fine. I am not going to help you, because there is no reason to. I have no reason to fight. No reason to live. But I will point the way."

"If you have no reason to live, than why are you still alive?" Kye asked her.

"Because the gods have cursed me with immortality."

"Than why-" he lifted his arms in exasperation. "-In God's name, are you afraid of him?"

"I'M NOT AFRAID OF HIM!" Order screamed angrily. Her voice echoed through the cavern, shaking loose rocks. "Why do people keep assuming that?"

"I don't know, maybe because of the way you cowered in front of him not ten minutes ago," Kye snapped at her suddenly. "Your daughter is in danger, your husband is trying to destroy everything, and you're sitting in here playing the self pity game. If you were going to act like a real mother you would be doing everything in your power to save her. But you're not, you're letting him control your life and be pathetic letting him do whatever he wants. I don't know why I even bothered to help Hunter free you. You're absolutely pathetic and don't care about anything," Kye turned and took a few steps forward, before looking over his shoulder one more time at Order. "When you're don't being a coward and pathetic, come find me. I'll be on the surface."

"Why would I care about Hunter?" Order asked. She turned away. "Go then." She snapped her fingers, and a peice of paper fluttered to the ground. "There. There are all the possible places he could be."

Kye walked over, and picked up the paper before turning to leave. "Why would you care?" his voice was quiet. "Maybe because she's you're only child still alive."

Order stiffened. "She is also the only one who wasn't like me. She takes after her father, and that is the reason why I don't love her, and never can."

"Or you just won't even try," Kye disappeared into the darkness, and made his way to the surface. He pulled the paper out and looked at it.

It was a map of the land. The places he could have gone were starred, and a particularly large star was by the tree where he and Hunter had first gone underground.

Kye sighed, and looked around. "And is one of those rare occasions where I wish those dragons were here. They could probably find Hunter twice as fast as I could," he rolled up the paper and put it in his satchel. Then he tightened it around his shoulders and started in the direction of the tree.

Order smiled as he vanished, and for a moment, she seemed to look like Chaos himself.

Hunter hung from a tree branch, scowling at the figure in front of her.

Kye moved along at a fast ish, and steady pace. He'd figured out where he was and knew he was heading in the right direction, it would take maybe two to three hours for m=him to get to the tree, and there was only a chance that they would be there.
