Emmanuel looks over to Nin as he keeps making eyes at Leyra walking along,
“What troubles you Manny?” Zaylit asks, knowing something is wrong,
“One shows love of the eyes.” Emmanuel admits keeping a distance far,
Zaylit looks ahead, “but Leyra is the……oh?” he realizes who they are,
Schmere moves closer from behind, “I think its wonderful.” She smiles between,
“He cannot touch her being too hot.” Zaylit says, observing what he has seen,
“That is what I thought too.” Emmanuel takes a breath deep as an orange glow is ahead,
“It might be more demons.” Nin turns as Leyra runs forwards instead,
“Wait Leyra!” Nin turns back as Emmanuel teleports himself closer, stopping as he looks,
“It’s not demons, it’s the tower, our home.” Leyra says, as Emmanuel runs to save the books,
“All of them, burnt, gone?” Nin says looking at the flames melting them away,
He runs inside the tower on fire, as Emmanuel cannot find anything to say,
Nin walks out the door, shaking his head as the bricks fall,
“So many records lost.” Emmanuel kneels down as Schmere puts out the flames,
Leyra touches his shoulder, as Nin remembers seeing the books with all the names,
All lost, the history of years researching, turned to smoke and blackened ash,
Emmanuel keeping strong hides a single tear drying from heat on his eyelash,
From a day of good battles and working together as a good team,
They all sit in sadness and hope to wake up from a bad dream.
