Ander stood up looking between the two of them. He had a plan, just in case they attacked. His crystals were charged and he had planned to disable Ciskel first so that he can't weigh him down, then engage Ris...should he need to at least. Instead he offered her a question. "A friend, and a sibling are hanging off a cliff, both beckoning for your help. You have no powers and you can only save one and they both believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that you may save them. The one that you do not help falls and dies.... I wonder, which would you choose." He let the question hang in the air while a cloud of steam formed around him. It became so think that he was unable to be seen. Then a voice was finally heard, "As for me... I don't even know Drake." with that the steam quickly dissipated, and Ander was nowhere to be found. In place of where he was standing however, was a small purple crystal, that held Ciskel's powers in it.
Ciskel never felt it, but while the steam was up, Ander sent a crystal to pass through him and extract his powers, just to mess with them. But he left the magic crystal there where they could see it. Leaving Ciskel there to plop on top of the roof. Once Ander was a good distance away, the crystal shattered and Ciskel's powers returned to him.
Drake walked into his room. It's been years since he's actually had someplace to call a home. its been 12 years in fact. Sure, e stayed in the occasional inn, but He thought something like this was a thing of the past. the first thing he did was walk up the the foot of his bed, hold his arms out to the side, and fell on top of it. It was much better than any hotel mattress for sure. "Ah, didn't think I'd ever see the likes of this again. I may fall asleep just like this. Wake me if I'm needed."
