Chrome stood in front of the stone statues as they all began to speak to him, they all sounded angry about his disappearance
"Why did you dissappear all this while Chrome" A female statue asked
"The Monika got me" He smiled keeping his cool
"What was your business with Monika" The male statue spoke
"She intends to destroy all of carcosa, I simply can't stand by and watch her" Chrome said as he stopped smiling.
"Well do as you please we wouldn't get involved until we see no other choice" The statue spoke before all stautes kept silent

Alex woke up in what looked like a tree house, there were vines all wrapped up around the place, every thing here seemed to be made of wood
He saw a woman with green hair with vines wrapped all around it, her face carried some elegance as she walked, she wore a light green gown that reached all the way to her toes
The woman bent down as put her hand over the wound as she healed it easily without any problems,Alex was suprised since not even Malik was able to heal the wound
"Thank you" Alex stood up and bowed to her
"You still need to relax a little, after that you will train with me" the woman said calmly as she walked away
"Uhm please what should I call you" Alex asked
"Lily" She said as she left Alex in the room alone
'It seems my wound is gone but I still need to stay here and train' Alex thought
'I still have school and so does Luke, I'll need to talk things over with him' Alex sighed
He left the room to see a table with food on it, Irene was seated almost done with her food. When Alex sat and looked in the bowl he saw some salad in a bowl and began to eat
"Hey Irene why did you decide I should train here" Alex inquired
"You're honestly still asking, would you rather train with the other human" Irene said as she dropped her spoon on the table
'This girl sometimes huh' Alex glared at her
"Where is Luke anyways" Alex asked a little worried
"He still hasn't come back from his trip with Chrome" Irene replied without a care
'I hope he hasn't gotten himself into any trouble' Alex said going back to the room
The sun had already set making Alex sleepy as he yawned and fell asleep keeping in mind that tomorrow he would have to train
When the sun rose Alex went outside to find Irene and Lily already awake as he sat down to eat some salad
After they had breakfast Alex and Irene stood at the center of the room since they didn't have anywhere proper to train
'I still can't use my magic properly so it means I'll have to rely on my strength'
"You should use only magic in this fight" Lily spoke signalling to start
'Oh great'
Alex held the pen in his hands as he wrote on the air but Lily had raised her hands controlling the vines as they wrapped around Alex body squeezing him very tightly
'I don't even have time to write and I can feel myself getting weaker' Alex grunted as the vines held him tightly
Lily then put her hand down letting the vines let go of him waiting for him to attack again
'If I write only one word I can save time, how about I write sleep'
He then tried to write again but she had already binded him with the vines, he then started to cough out blood, the magic had already started to affect him
She let him go as he tried to write but each time he tried she would bind him with the vines,when he couldn't try again he then fainted
"Are you sure this is going to work" Irene transformed back as she spoke
"We'll just have to wait and see" Lily said calmly as she went back to her room while Irene had to leave Alex on the ground
Alex woke up in the night and couldn't help but sigh, he felt like he was getting nowhere with the training
'I guess I'll have to keep trying' He sighed
He then went back to sleep with hope that he can do better in tomorrow's training

Luke lied weakly on the bed, the last food he had were the noodles that Alex had prepared for him, he didn't know how to cook and when he tried it had turned out to be a disaster
"Damn...it" he said weakly
'Just bring me some food Chrome, it feels like I'm about to die'
He felt like crying but he held it in, it felt like he would be giving up a great part of him if he cried
Chrome then appeared jn the room smiling while looking at Lukes condition. Luke felt like hitting him so hard now but he didn't have the strength
"I didn't know humans couldn't last this long without food" He spoke still smiling
"Just...give me something.... already" Lume spoke struggling to get his words out
"But unfortunately you'll have to wait some more since I'm very busy at the moment, don't worry it will just take a month" He smiled getting ready to teleport
"W...wait" Luke said as he couldn't hold back his tears
"Just take me back home" Luke spoke as more tears same out
"Oh Luke" Chrome said with fake care
"You might have to stay here for a century or more before you can go back as for the aging problem I will fix that once I finished gaining all my strength back" He patted Luke and then teleported
'So I guess I'm stuck here'
Luke then closed his eyes and decided that he would wait for a month for Chrome or maybe Alex would figure out something is wrong and would try to rescue him
