AMALTHEA

[The room you step into looks like it could be a miniature ballroom, complete with stained glass windows and vast, ornate mirrors.

Your team's column is set into one wall, easily accessible but as impregnable as ever. One of the mirrors may prove almost as interesting, if you can tear your eyes away from your trapped teammate. Through it, you are somehow able to see every other team's column and what is inside, though nothing beyond that.

The floor beneath your feet polished, patterned wood, inlaid with the pattern of a grand sundial in your team's colors. In the center of the pattern stands a pedestal, upon which sits a collection of colorful glass ornaments. It looks like there's room for other items, but there's nothing else to be found just yet . . . ]

Hey, Guy--

Yeah.

We're in a bit of a bind at the moment, if you can't tell. But we're not gonna let Blaze die.

Of course we're not.

. . . dunno why she's pullin' this kind of stunt, though.

I knew we shouldn't have trusted them. Any of them.

Is it really about trust? They do what they want because they can get away with it. Nothing's really changed.

Yeah, but up until now everyone's been prancin' about the castle without a care in the world, because the worst they've done is make us eat sand.

Was that enough for you to believe that kind of thing was the norm? We're supposed to be regaining pieces of our worlds. That's not exactly something trivial.

No, s'not. But they sure fooled most people here by making them feel like it was, didn't they?

Apparently. I haven't spoken to many people outside our team, so I wouldn't know for sure.

I have. Takshaka is filled with pretty naive people.

I bet they're takin' this really badly.

[. . . won't think about the fact that it's Bluebird stuck in the glass, either. . .]

Takshaka... Ah. Yeah. You're right. I know someone from that team too.

I can't believe this...

Yeah... I don't even know what to say. Is there even a question about us doing what we must to get him out?

Of course not.

But ... let's only use the biggest thing if we absolutely have to, to save him. I don't want to end up killing someone else if we don't need to.

I'm not against that, but we might be putting him at risk by acting that way.

We won't do it if he's right at the edge. Because who knows if someone else would throw it right back at us.

[kind of shrugs]

Whatever makes you guys feel more comfortable with our choices is fine by me. They're all bad choices anyway.

This is sick.

Sick and pointless. It's not as if we'd risk letting him drown.

None of the teams will! Why this—test to tell her that?

This is why power is dangerous in the hands of some. But we're probably not strong enough to kill one of them yet.

Yet.

Yet. And I really don't want to go through something like this again in the future, so let's try to fix that soon.
