"I'm fine, thank you." said Luke taking a seat next to Anna by the fire. "Why I asked about the strength of your shelter was because I think that that storm heading in our direction could be brutal."

"they usually are," Anna sighed putting her head down "sometimes they get so bad they wipe out a lot of things that I need most the time, hopefully this one isn't like the last one."

"I think this one might be worse. I've never seen yellow lightning before. That's got to be artificial and manipulated." remarked Luke in a serious tone.

"who knows it's been a bunch of strange patterns, it's hard to really know what will happen." Anna said poking the fire with a stick "it always scares when when I don't know what could happen."

"I've been living a similar life...full of perepity and reversal...Life comes at you fast- too fast..." said Luke, looking down. Sorrow was in his voice as he continued after a brief pause, "And now we're both stuck in this forsaken wasteland..."

"yeah, nothing that ever comes my way is good, as per usual chaos is unloved." Anna sighed poking the fire once again with the stick "and I seem to be that choas, since everything I've become is that of an allusion, not the real me."

Luke was silent for a moment. "So things you've achieved and done and any kind of honor you acquired in the past seem to have become completely fictional?"

"yeah that's about right, i'm not anything but some smart girl who just tried to fit in." Anna said sadly as she looked down "I tried to get away from it all, that's how I got here."

"This place is a safe haven compared to what I've been through for like half a year. I'm a marked man wanted dead by some strange group of hunters." said Luke. He took off his overcoat to reveal a disturbing "XIII" branded onto the skin of his left arm. The skin around The Mark was swelling and was of a yellow tint.

"No. I've had this on my arm for an entire year now. It's a cursed Mark. It is because of The Mark that I am hunted ruthlessly. It is because of The Mark that I did terrible evils in the past without my conscious self even knowing it...I wish it would just...dissapear." grunted Luke, glaring at the mark on his arm.

"well there has to be something that your at least happy about, one thing is your safe here, and I have someone to talk to now." Anna said smiling as she looked at him then the fire. "things usually happen for a reason, but why did you get the mark in the first place."

"All I can say is, 'Blame Fate'. This Mark was forced upon me by the leader of a dark organization known as 'Ithatae.' This man forced me to do deeds of evil for over half a year by taking control of my mind. Thankfully, I eventually regained mental sanity and independance but I am still being hunted. I don't know who exactly is trying to kill me but I know they aren't bounty hunters..." explained Luke gazing into the fire. "Oh the fires of destruction by darkness...the damage they create cannot be repaired."

A crash of thunder reverberated across the wasteland right before Luke was going to speak. "I don't think I'm safe anywhere, actually. We should fortify your abode immediately." said Luke, a tone of urgency in his voice. He got up and started searching around for something tough with which he could reinforce structure-critical points in Anna's shelter.

"That storm is heading this way. I fear it will destroy everything in it's path." said Luke rushing to and fro.

"No. Not this storm. This storm is far more destructive. Generally when you see bizarre colored weather, it has its roots in the workings of a master of Hidden Artes and is usually destructive." explained Luke picking up a tough piece of wood from a wood pile in the corner. At that moment, the ground around the two of them shook as another bomb of thunder, this one a bit louder than the first flew across the plains.

"We don't have much time. Help me brace the weakest parts of your shelter. Quick, let's create a makeshift pillar connecting the floor to that part of the ceiling!" ordered Luke hobbling to the part in Anna's living quarters he specified.

"I'm no architect but I think this might work. If I finish this pillar in time, I believe we'll be safe if we conform to the center of your abode next to it." said Luke starting on the base of the pillar. Two more blasts of lightning were heard. They sounded like distant artillery cannons firing in a war zone. The wind had picked up and the temperature had risen about ten degrees Farenheit.

"not good, this is not good. it's always gotten bad but never this bad." she said helping him finish the pillar "hopefully it doesn't get any worse or I'll die of being scared." she said going to the middle of the room and sitting down "what is wrong with the weather here!"

"Wait a minute..." began Luke. "I believe that this is the work of my pursuers. They've found us and are now trying to kill us both." he said hurriedly. More blasts of lightning were heard in succeeding crescendo.
