    Luther had been following the conversation and what was happening around him quite intently when he heard it. The whole world seemed to go out of focus and he disconnected with his surroundings. All his life, he had been cursed by the fact that there was practically another person sharing the same body and mind. Through all the years of his life, it quietly enraged him and sometimes made him want to stab his head just to make it all stop. Luther lived on the hope that one day, he would wake up, and he'd be free.

    But now, there was another one.

    Another voice he would be forced to listen to. Another opinion he'd have to deal with. Another demon constantly aware of his thoughts. Another person in the same body, and in the same mind.

    If a second was nearly unbearable, a third was hell incarnate.

    Luther drew on his strength and stood firm. If he lost it now, the group would certainly leave him behind. He needed to gain control of the situation.

    What are you? Luther asked the new voice in his head. You can't be another one. Certainly, you would've spoken once during twenty five years!

    Leave, at once. Luther's other side said, weighing in on the matter. Or the wrath of the goddesses shall be upon you.

      Nemesis saw the effects of his initial actions and was pleased with himself. Sephira, though seemingly used to seeing illusions of Vincent, was clearly distraught, and more likely to snap on someone later on. James was doubting himself and becoming more suspicious, which had the possibility of leading to poor decision making on his part. Luther was on the verge of losing his mind. If this was what he could do with a couple of small tricks, Nemesis was excited at the possibility of what the bigger things up his sleeve might be able to do.

      Still maintaining his appearance as an illusion of Vincent to Sephira, Nemesis stepped forward and hardened his gaze.
      "To tell you that no matter how far you run, you cannot escape your past. You'll need to face it someday." Nemesis made a point of looking at Elwood, changing his facial expression to amused to something a little more mysterious.
      "That lesson applies to a lot of things, actually."

      At the same time, Nemesis pondered his next move with James. He had a good start, but he needed to push it a little farther.
      But what if distance or time doesn't matter? What if that thing is just waiting for the perfect chance to strike? Sephira looks a little bothered by something...

      Meanwhile, Nemesis chuckled at the Luthers's reaction to his arrival.
      Of course you would say that. But would you know for sure? You've both been asleep plenty. That's where I come in. See, I'm around these parts at night. I wasn't even completely sure who I was or what my purpose was until I discovered you two a few years back. You know how when you dream, and it feels the same way it does when you're not in control? That's because that's when I take over.
      Nemesis felt unsure about what he said, as he wasn't completely Luther was dumb enough to believe him.

      Nemesis looked around the area, and saw two other people he might have fun with: Jackylin Smithnoise and Gerrard Long. Nemesis saw from the way they looked at each other that their love was young, and he could also sense the beginnings of new life within Jacky. He smirked. This would almost be too easy.

      Similar to what he did with James, Nemesis entered Gerrard's mind and disguised himself as part of the young man's consciousness.
      What if Jacky is pregnant? Is this strange place really such a good place to raise a child? How would I support her and the kid?

      For Jacky, Nemesis took a more simplistic approach. Rather than appear as an illusion of someone from her past or pretend to be her consciousness, Nemesis ever so slightly altered her perception of the world. He decided that she wasn't skeptical enough about this new environment, so he made her think the atmosphere of the area felt heavy and menancing, as if someone, or something, was just around the corner, waiting to take her. Nemesis also gave her a small sense of urgency, which was likely to ruin the intimacy of the moment she was having with Gerrard.

        "Yeah, nowhere to turn back..." she trailed off and grew quiet. "Hey, Gerrard, do you really think coming here was that great of an idea?" Jacky turned her head to look at the looming ship they were leaving behind. "I can't tell if I feel homesick or if I just don't feel safe, y'know?" She gave his hand a tight squeeze and looked into the distance. "I still don't know what to expect, I guess I just never thought that I would make it this far from home."

          Gerrard opened his mouth to respond to Jackie, but paused as a corner of his mind began pondering.

          "What if Jacky is pregnant, it pondered, "How would you support her?"

          Gerrard clenched his jaw shut and tried to ignore his own mind doubting himself, he looked over to Jackie.

          "Good idea or bad, it's too late now." Gerrard said with a small smile, "I was a criminal in Hyrule and Termina, this is my fresh start, and I'm glad to have you in it."

            She smiled back, taking a deep breath. "I'm glad you brought me along with you, Gerrard." She walked further inland, feeling the sand shift underneath her boots. "They won't hunt you down here, I think. Hyrulians don't take themselves that seriously, and I don't think Termina has the time or energy. What do you think of the new world so far?"

              Sephira stood abruptly. "You think I'm running?"she hissed. "You think I flee from my past? You know nothing, ghost. My past makes me strong; my scars show my victories. Leave me be, before I show you the sun again." She glanced at Midnight, still laying on the beach a short ways away, to reassure herself he was still near Elwood, then turned and crossed back over to the others.

              "Really, it's up to you if anyone else comes with," Briana commented. "After all, we aren't truly part of your group; we can't say if you come with us or not. We're simply volunteering to scout it out first, so we avoid drawing any more attention to ourselves than necessary."

                Elwood was surprised at Sephira's seeming distress. She didn't say anything to him, simply stood up and appeared to address someone. The sound of the waves crashing on the beach was enough to prevent him from understanding anything she said, but her emotions were plastered clearly on her face. He was also quite confused as normally speaking out loud to oneself wasn't common practice. Not that he'd never done it, of course, but usually he was alone when he did. Suddenly his loyal fairy flew from within his shirt. She didn't say anything, but she looked at Sephira, feeling something was out of place. She would've approached the girl, but the Stari began walking away before she could.

                "Is something wrong, Nia?" Elwood asked, brushing his hair with his hands. Some of the wet sand he had been playing with got stuck in the long black layers, highlighting the urgent need for a haircut. Titania simply shrugged her shoulders, not quite able to pinpoint what it was that was making her nervous.

                As the thoughts in James' head got more worrisome, he looked at Sephira about to rush over to her. However, she seemed to be heading back to them before he could do so. He took a deep breath, trying to push back his subconscious and turned to Briana once more. He smiled and nodded. "Fair enough," he started in response. "Alright, I think we should send in multiple groups to scout out these new people. Hopefully they'll be okay with newcomers. You and him can be one," he said, acknowledging Daniel as well. "As for the others, I want to get a look for myself. Someone else can join me as well. We don't want anyone wandering on their own and starting a mess in this place." He waited to see what they thought.

                  Luther flinched at the strength of this new voice. It was not passive, as Luther had hoped. He would have to fight to get rid of it...if such a feat was possible.

                  I refuse to believe you. Luther told the voice firmly. Make yourself scarce, before I force you out.

                  We won't ask again. The other Luther stated.

                  In his haste, Luther forgot to interact with the world outside of his mind, and simply stood in place without giving an opinion on the matter being discussed.

                    Briana nodded. "Makes sense, in case one group does get into a situation and has to leave the town without getting enough or even any supplies." She looped her arm through Daniel's. "We can go on ahead, and you can come after; that way if we get in trouble, no one will recognize you as part of our group. Just in case," she added with a grin, acknowledging that such an occasion was unlikely to happen. "Shall we?" she asked Daniel.

                    Sephira touched James' arm. "I'd like a chance to go in as well," she murmured, "but I'd rather go in alone." While she doubted Vincent would appear again, she knew she would be able to make herself behave better surrounded by others. She just needed a moment to disappear and forget herself. Normally she'd prefer to do this in the forest, where she could devote her entire attention to hunting or climbing, but the bustle of a town would be a decent enough distraction. She'd prefer not to bring anyone with her either, on the off chance they'd remind her that there was something else to focus on besides the immediate activity.

                      Nemesis found himself content with his results, with the exception of Sephira. Nemesis thought his work would catch her off guard, but it seemed her thoughts were settled when it came to Vincent. Now, she was trying to ignore him. To truly catch her off guard, Nemesis would need someone more recent. Suddenly, Nemesis got an idea.

                      While she wasn't looking, the illusion of Vincent shifted into an apparition of Maxwell Kal. Nemesis decided he would not appear as Maxwell as Sephira last saw him, but as Maxwell as he was two years ago, on the night Elizabeth Mason was murdered. The calm, surly manner Sephira was used to was not present in this Maxwell. Instead, it was replaced with the feral demeanor of a damaged boy who had lost everything, again. His expensive clothes were torn, and covered with blood. His hair was a mess, and it was clear he had fought someone. The worst of it was his gaze, which conveyed his rage and his sorrow simultaneously.

                      "DON'T YOU DARE WALK AWAY FROM ME, SEPHIRA!" Nemesis screamed in Maxwell's voice, still only allowing her to see and hear him. "ARE YOU PROUD OF WHAT YOU DID TO ME? AM I JUST A VICTORY TO YOU?" Nemesis moved in front of Sephira so that she could see him glaring at him. "You'll just justify what you did to me if we give it some time, won't you? Or perhaps you already have." Nemesis looked at James, then back at Sephira. "You haven't even told him about what you did, have you? How long, Seph? How long until he sees what you really are, huh? So eager to betray your love for the orders of a man you barely knew, weren't you?"



                      Nemesis pondered his next move with James. There was something he could do here, but Nemesis was currently unsure of what specifically it was. He decided to wait, keeping his voice quiet inside of James's head.



                      On the other hand, Nemesis decided to continue to speak in Luther's head. It was clear that the personalities thought the goddesses would assist them, but that was untrue. Nemesis was interested to see how they might force him out.
                      Force me? Nemesis asked, chuckling. If that were possible, wouldn't one of you have gotten rid of the other by now? Don't kid yourselves...there's no getting rid of me.
