Chapter 3.5-14

== Avery ==
(OUTDATED, MUST REREAD EXCERPT AND REWRITE)
It has been over a week since the siblings, Avery and Nyxeris, reunited. Avery has settled into a life with his sister and they show familiarity with one another. Avery asks where their sister, Hikari, is; Nyxeris is frozen at the mention of Hikari.
Hikari and Nyxeris had a fight that ended in Hikari being struck by dark magic which accidentally infected her soul. Nyxeris fused with her to preserve her soul and Hikari has been dormant inside her ever since. She can only talk to her in her dreams but barely remembers them. Avery comforts her by bringing up that darkness is not evil or wicked. It is merely the lack of control that rears its ugly face. Fire burns. Water drowns. Earth crushes. Air suffocates. And light blinds. The darkness of the world is but one required part of entropy.
The following afternoon Avery meditates in the grassy field outside of Nyxeris's home. The darkness had caught up and Avery prepared himself to fend it off with the help of Nyxeris. Drayon appears before him... he is not running this time.
The fight rages on for an hour and Drayon doesn't get exhausted like Nyxeris and Avery. He senses something with Nyxeris and attempts to extract it which has Hikari form on the ground screaming in agony. Nyxeris pleads to to put her back and the sight of Hikari baffles Drayon as he thought she had died long ago. He offers Somnium's help to save her and graciously motions Hikari back into Nyxeris. In response to Drayon's offer, Avery rants about Somnium: the Aera is someone he once knew who turned to the shadows for a higher calling. Avery thanks Drayon for sparing Hikari her life but he will never let Somnium control him again. Drayon leaves and asks them to consider his offer if he wishes to end the hunt.
