Echo turned to meet Eliza, with a smile. "I found it by luck." She whispered. "It's amazing isn't it. Even when the moon doesn't shine as brightly as tonight, the room is still illuminated by the lights of the city. I'm glad you came... I want everyone to be free of this place, but some didn't like that choice." She turned to face the frosted window again. "I plan to break out of here... tomorrow night. I already have the escape planned and everything. No one who doesn't want to be, won't be left behind."

Eliza blinked at her as she moved farther into the room. "You plan suicide is what you mean. Escape, from here? Barely halfway trained as we are with guardians and elite breaths on our tail? And tomorrow, a large group? You don't know what you're saying, or if you do, you had better fill me in, for as it is, I see no chance. Better to stay, use this room for release, to keep ourselves sane. Finish our training, graduate, THEN. Then once we are the breaths and the guardians, break this place. Then vanish like fog before the sun. So say I at least. What say you otherwise?"

"To stay here would be suicide! We don't even know if we will make it past the next set of exams... and slowly they strip away our sanity and sense of indivduality." She said, frantic to get her point across. "Bonny made it out of here.. she's free. We can do it too, because I have perfected her plan. Me and her planned to escape a long time ago together, but I wanted to help more students out." She paced the room, "Do you really want to live out this... fake ass academy with a Guardian breathing down your neck, knowing it wouldn't bother them in the least if you were suddenly just terminated? Knowing you have no one to go to, no one to depend on, within thousands of miles... I'd rather reach for freedom and take my chances with the Breaths and Guardians than live this nightmare anymore. Wouldn't you?"

Eliza glared at her in the moonlight, following her with her eyes as she paced "I'm stronger then that. They won't break me, they can't. I depend on myself and on Lree, and I was hoping I could add those in this room to that number. Between us we can persevere. Make it through this. Maybe you don't understand, but I want them to know." Eliza took a step forward "I want them to know that they were wrong, that with everything they did they couldn't break me." she took another step forward "I want them to finally feel something as I kill them off one by one, fear, hatred of me, I don't care, I just want them to feel." Another step "I want to bring this entire place to the GROUND in a whirlwind of fire and hate and fury and frustration and everything I or anyone was made to feel here." She was practically growling now as she advanced "I want every guardian and every breath to BURN. And then, and only then, will I be at peace with this place and what they have done to me." She was mere inches away from Echo when she finished, her eyes flashing with repressed anger, face twisted into a paryoxysm of rage when she calmed slightly "I won't report you, or stop you or anyone who goes with you. I'll help you where I can, and I will mourn for you when this is all through, but I will not join you."

Echo shook her head. "All it takes is one time... one exam that you don't pass and your erased... No one will mourn you and all of your attempts to show them that they didn't break you will be in vain." She sighed. "Even if you pass the exams with flying colors they put you through one last trial... If you can complete it they keep you, and terminate everyone else... Haven't you ever wondered why there wasn't more Guardians? And only the Elite become Breaths..." she asked with a look of horror on her face. "... Bonny knew what the last trial was... that's why she ran. She said it was so horrible that she couldn't talk about it. Now she's free!"

'I can't take it anymore...'Adia thoguht to herself as it seemed that it was not getting any coser to 3. Calm down.... 'Maybe I shoudl just go early...I'm pretty sure that Echo is there already...so I'll just go early!! Yeah that's what I'll do...'Adia thinks to her self as she sneaks out of the dorm and quietly. 'Hey Uzraudze do you think you help me be unnoticable while we walk?' I can try... 'Thanks...'Adia thinks as she walks through the hallway to the room that Echo had told her about. Adia eventually comes up to a door. 'Is this it?...'She carefully opens the door and pokes her head in. "Hey Echo...I'm glad I found the room can I come in?" Adia whispers.

Eliza glanced at Adia as she entered then returned her attention to Echo "Then I'll pass it. You think I care? You're wrong. I'll kill anyone and anything I need to to make it through this. That's probably what it is, a fight to the death. But if that's what it takes for freedom, for the skill to take this place down, then I will do it without hesitation. But that is my path, yours lies elsewhere and for this I have offered my aid. Take it or leave it, it is there. I'm a phoenix Echo. I live and die by fire, not by flight, not by running away, but by finding and delivering justice. No matter what they do to me, I will get back up, I will pass this, even the final test. Now then. I'm being trained as an assassin. As such I can offer aid you will no doubt need. What is your plan?"

"Ummm..I came in at the wrong moment didn't I?" Adia says as she listens to Eliza speak.

Echo turned to face Adia and quickly ushered her in with a hand and closed the door behind Adia. "You really will not go, Eliza? They will eventually find this room. Where will you turn to then? You're writings...? They will find out about you. You cannot hide what makes you unique... and your Guardian will not protect you! They do not care about us! You actually have a fighting chance if you leave now instead of waiting here! We will fight them together."

Eliza spread her arms wide to encompass the school "Your plan is as futile as mine. Look around Echo, how many guardians walk these halls? How many breaths fight across the world? Flee, and to the last one they will pursue you. There are how many of us? Three? Four? They can't have word of this getting out, if the world knew what they did here, the Academy wouldn't exist. We, as escapees, would threaten that. They would send everyone after us, everyone. Us, alone, half trained at best, in a world we haven't seen in years and aren't familiar with, with the best in the world coming after us?" Eliza paused for a breath and took a step back, gesturing her hand in a sign of finality. "Louis doesn't care about me. I accept that. This room will not hide me forever. I accept that. My writings will endure and evolve, my mind will endure, Lree will endure, I will endure. I must. If I do not, then I'll try my best to take Louis at least down with me, I'll go down fighting, but fighting for what I believe in, freedom, in the manner I chose. I can't turn my back on this. Empty the school Echo, and I will join you. Other then that, I will remain."

Adia sits down on the floor. "You know...I don't know why this just suddenly came to me but...if we do make it out where will we go? Our parents are dead and who knows if they've killed our other relatives...."

Eliza stopped cold. It was almost comical the way she froze in mid-gesture, finger pointed off into space. There was a long moment of silence, it was almost ringing in Eliza's ears. "...What? What do you mean?"

"Well..when before they brought me here I saw them murder my parents...I don't know the reason though....

Dolo was back in his suite, rearranging the various and sundry bits of electronic and mechanical equipment on his worktable. Most of his gear hung on hooks and loops on one wall, and he tinkered with a newer version of his combat helmet. This new development with the students is unnerving. It could undermine the continuity of this place. We have kept a smooth transition from generation to generation with our hard methods for so long, and all it takes is a few students with foolheardy notions of justice and freedom to bring this place down. Fools. He shook his head. They don't know what they are doing. We are the most powerful mercenary force currently in existance, and we keep it that way with our methods. I just hope that Louis and Jane are mistaken about their findings. I hope it's just the one girl. I wonder if I should request termination? He sighed deeply, twisting a few bolts on the tinted goggles. I think too much. Next thing you know i'll start to crumble too.
HIs attention turned to his Caene. Just like with his precious technology, he was always thinking of new ways to help it adapt to new situations. He was one of very few who could not send their Caene away from themselves. His manifested as a suit of armor that provided protection and assistance. He could not, however, remove the armor or make it act on it's own. It made up for it's lack with the ability to fluidly change and deal with new situations, however, and he wouldn't trade it for anything, even if he could.
"Ah, I need to relax a bit." I need to kick something. Repeatedly and with vigour. Time to head to the SIMcombat room.

Echo turned to face Adia, a frown on her face. "I don't know where we would turn to. I don't know." she said as she started to lose face. "... But we would be free from this place." She said quietly, looking down at the ground.

'Echo...'
"Not now Solace." She said quietly. "... Maybe Eliza is right, but this room will be found out at some point or another... We at least need to find a way to sneak out of this place to meet up somewhere on the outside. Even if it is for a couple of hours, we could be free... for a couple of hours. The city isn't far away from here."

"Hmmm...I guess we could ask friends or..I don't know.."Adia says as she rest her chin on her hand. I wish I could help Adia...I really do...I'm sorry I can't..' 'That's ok Uzraudze...'Adia said to Uzraudze,'But if you come up with any plans tell me ok?' Ok

The boots of steel plate stepped into the training grounds, they carried with it, a figure who's build and facial appearance gave the appeal of a man in his mid twenties. A spear rested in the cradle of his shoulder armor, the remaining clothes were of a dark green cloth, with a protective leather over the chest and sides under the rib cage. His spear while two meters in length was cradled perfectly onto his back to provide easy movement and comfort.
When his boots made strides onto the training ground kicking up dirt and grass with each step, his arms swaying with his body in doing so. He was supposed to be meeting with his student. He demanded more than his guardian ever did, and it has given him a reputation of fear and anger.

Eliza sat heavily on the ground having stopped listening after finding out that her family was dead. Gone. Everything she had been fighting for, longing for, straining for, suddenly seemed to vanish in the blink of an eye. Mother, Father, Sarah. Dead? All gone? Her eyes glazed over as she gazed out the frosted glass window, remembering her family. She had been wanting to finish this, to find them. Now the only thing she had to go home to were cold blocks of stone in an empty graveyard. She slumped to the side onto the dusty ground. that was it, she was done. She had nothing left to fight for. She had kept going and going and going, but she had nothing left to fight for. She didn't even seem to be able to cry. She could hear Lree shrieking at her but she didn't care, she didn't WANT to listen. She didn't want to get back up and get knocked down again and again. Lree screamed at her again and again and finally she staggered to her feet and out into the hallway, heading blindly back to her room. She couldn't deal with this right now, she just couldn't.

"Eliza..?"Adia said as she watched Eliza walk out.

Echo held out her hand to stop Adia from following her. "It's traumatizing to find out that your family has been murdered because of you... Something we both knew before now... But for her to just find out, it will turn your world upside down." She said turning towards Adia, "She needs to find something else to fight for, otherwise she won't make it."

Louis turned to Liam. "Greetings Liam. Out for a little late night training?" He asked, not turning to meet the newcomer. "Funny you should come out here, we just finished discussing you student."

"Yeah..."Adia says quietly. 'I thought she knew...I'm sorry Eliza...' Adia thinks to herself.

"You were? And what exactly were you discussing about my student?" He stepped closer to the others. Once near Louis, he began to shift his weight onto one leg. His arms crossing one another over his chest, not in a threatening manner, or in what could be considered an impatient stance. It was one designed for comfort, his postur and demeaner were very relaxed, but his green eyes held caution and and contempt.

"Has she done something?" He said the last statment, very flat, almost expecting a dissapointing answer. The truth of the matter is, he was looking for students who might had been out past curfew. Being a guardian wasn't his only duty at the academy, he was also a member of the dicipline committy.

Echo frowned and shook her head. "In the end, I am sure this will only fuel her anger towards the school. What do you think we should do Adia? Do you think we should stay here and finish our training escaping every once in a while to enjoy an actual life, or escape and get away from here as fast as possible?"

Louis shook his head. "I don't know if it's good or bad, Liam. She's been awfully friendly towards some of the students. She goes to a different one every day. She claims to be doing extensive research on battle techniques... but ever since that Bonny girl, we need to listen to every instinct."

"I really want to escape here..but if they catch us they'll punish us.." Adia says facing Echo, "But even if we stay here we still might be punished because of the exams..we have chances in both situations but we also have punishment in both situations...I like to take risk if it means freedom...what do you want to do?"

"I don't like it... I've captured her sneaking back and forth after curfew four times, each time she can verify her location and in doing so, she avoids diciplinary action. Perhaps it's time for some late night training... Drill out any rebellous images." He shifted his weight to the other foot and lowered his arms to his sides. "But I'm certain that your student is well behaved and hasn't left their room at all."
His sarcasm was very monotone, and while keeping a string of humor, it was lifted by no emotion or expectation of reaction.
