"So, you've answered my question. Could that mean you know a way out of the situation?" Solon asked, not really caring about the answer. Instead, he went on to say, "Have you ever been to Atsushi?"

[Nils_13]

"Yes. I'm a tactician, sir. And I've only been to Atsushi once. Also, since you've asked me two questions, I think it's only fair that I get to ask you two." Ryuki answered.

[THEBIRD]

"You may ask me one question," replied Solon.

[Nils_13]

"What is your name?" Ryuki asked calmly.

[THEBIRD]

That question caught Solon off guard. His name was something he could not reveal.

"Sol," Solon stated, just giving his nickname. "Now I must ask you if you know someone from Atsushi. I feel this person may have left, for they are more of a dreamer, rather then a warrior."

[Nils_13]

"Unfortunately, my stay in Atsushi was short, why is none of your concern. This is all I'll reveal to you, Sol, as the more questions you ask, the more mine and my friend's life become disposable. Good day." Ryuki calmly turned and motioned for Akutai to follow him.

[X_Hero]

For some strange reason, when he heard his name, something about Sol somehow became familiar. He looked closer and suddenly realized something; Sol looked similar to someone his father had known before the meteor shower. But he had to know.

"... What's your full name?" Akutai asked, since he wasn't so afraid now.

[Nils_13]

Ryuki stopped. If Akutai could get him to answer this, it would be a valuable piece of information.

[THEBIRD]

Sol shot a glance at Akutai.

"Ah, almost forgot you were there," Solon replied. "Sorry, but I won't answer any questions from you. You haven't given me any valuable information."

[Nils_13]

Ryuki sighed and turned back around.

"What else do you want to know?" his cold gaze fixed back on Sol.

[X_Hero]

Akutai just thought a minute. There was that noise coming from the island of Ishizu, which wasn't far from Kiku, and was controlled by the Atsushi.

"The island of Ishizu... There's been some weird noise over there, and it's controlled by the Atsushi. ... Sounds that didn't sound human..." He answered him.

[THEBIRD]

Looks like the ball is back in my court. I've found something that is very valuable to them... My name.

"I'm looking for a man from Atsushi... He was a visionary, and the reason that Atsushi has all that fancy equiptment," Solon replied, absent-mindedly rubbing his left arm.

He looked back over at Akutai for a second, thinking, but did not reply to his statement.

[Nils_13]

"Well, during my stay at the Ishizo Library, I did quite a bit of studying on the Atsushi's technology and the man behind them." Ryuki replied.

[THEBIRD]

"Where is he now?" Solon asked.

[Nils_13]

"The archives didn't say specifically... Supposably, he's on Masayoshi conducting scientific research in an old factory." Ryuki answered.

"There's a piece of valuable information, now answer Akutai's question."
