Pyrus chuckled. *uh huh. Sure, hes less evil.* then, he asked Lilli, *like what you did with Inei?*

Lilli nodded.

"Inei and Darkweilder were both forces that, with a host, could cause havoc, and without having a host are weak. The only reason out of your body darkweilder was dangerous is because of how much he fed off you, and the fact that some magic caused him to get a body of his own."

Hikari frowned. "That sounded sarcastic. But it's true. While you had personal experience, I don't want to pressure...but all the friends you've made are at risk of dying. I need you to try and find it in you to fight, before you just get overwhelmed with anger when someone...actually...does die."

Pyrus just looked at Hikari and said, *dont remind me.* then he turned to Lilli and said, *so your just gonna summon him, then fuse him with me or something?*

Lilli made the "kind of" symbol with her hand.

"He can possess you when you both want it, but not exactly fused immediatley. We'll summon him, and since he's weak, he likely will be immobile. If not, we'll be able to hold him down. Then the spell can be casted, and you'll be able to fight without feeling unable and bad."

Hikari just confusedly looked at Pyrus.

"Why do you have no trouble killing trees but not animals and demons? Trust me when I say this, do not kill trees in front of Ryan. He will lecture you to death about saving the trees."

Pyrus said simply, *cuz the trees arent made of flesh and dont move much.* then he faced Lilli and said, *do it.*

The door opens behind them. They can hear it slam. Lilli just nods.

It's none other than Ryan.

"Don't talk about trees like that, Pyrus!"

Hikari smiles, smugly. "I told youuu..."

Ryan proceeds to rant about how nobody would be alive without trees and how they have communities and all that. It takes a while, and Lilli and Hikari snicker in the background.

After a good 45 minutes, Ryan leaves.

Lilli smiles. "Yeah, we can go to the big tree to do all that."

Hikari is literally holding her stomach laughing.

(Btw it is actually a fact that trees will send food and water to sick trees and it makes me sad when I look at wood.)

Pyrus was asleep, standing.

Lilli shakes him awake.

"Do you want Ryan to repeat his lecture?"

Hikari is still laughing. She seems to find it very funny.

Pyrus shook himself. *sorry. Normally try to limit my sleep, but that was too amazing.* and he whispered, *by that I mean boring.* then he said, *now, summon a demon, please.*

Lilli shook her head. "Don't you remember? The whole group has to go to the big tree first."
