The Speaker was sitting quietly in his study, reading a book. The Light Festival had ended an hour ago and the early morning hours were still dark. The Speaker sighed in relief and took the time to relax. "Did you think to day was a success Eli?" The Speaker said. There was no reply. The Speaker looked up. "Eli?" He looked around the room. The little Ghost was nowhere to be seen and he wasn't in a sleep mode either. The Speaker looked in the closet and bathroom. "Eli? Are you alright?" He heard a loud screeching noise from outside. He quickly bolted outside, his armor automatically materializing as soon as he exited the doorway. "Eli?!" Two Warlocks were already outside as soon as they heard the commotion. The Speaker motioned for them. "Where was that sound coming from?" "I don't know..." Replied one Warlock. "It sounded like from the North Tower." Another loud sound ripped through the silence of the air. The Speaker ran for the Tower and quickly looked around. Eli floated in the middle of the room under the astrology machine, facing the City. His shell was spazzing out every so often and he spoke to himself. "Eli?" The Speaker asked. "Are you alright?" Eli slowly turned around. His eyes was constantly changing between a Taken white/black color and his normal eye. "Ev... everything... I I I I I I I iii s s s s zzzzz.... Fine...." His voice was nearly static and caught on itself. The Speaker approached the pit. "Eli... you are having another vision... please come here..." Eli laughed as his shell had another spazz attack. "No... you.. are a lie... a lie, lie lie... Darkness... w. W w w w w.... iiiiill reign, again..." "Eli please..." "Be quiet!!" His voice suddenly smoothed out as he bolstered up in size. "The world will burn! Darkness will consume everything, nothing will stop it!! NOTHI...." Eli paused and once again spazzed out. His core gave off a sickly green glow. He laughed a crazy psycopathic laugh. "They will die by my blades, they will fear me, they will know my name and my Friends name!" Eli spazzed once more and his color changed to a light blue. He started crying. "Please!! Please stop it!! Leave me alone!!!" The Speaker managed to get on the railing and reach out for Eli. "Please buddy... We need you to come here..." "Please!! I don't want to die!!! Please!! PLEASE!!!" Eli suddenly spazzed and his core went dark briefly. Then it turned back on as a dark purple, he was still crying. "I couldn't save them.... I couldn't.... they.... died... Why couldn't I save them?!..." "Eli please." The Speaker made a desperate grab for Eli and managed to get him. He got out of the pit with the help of the Warlocks. Eli's shell was burning fiercely. He ran up to the servers and pointed Eli at it. "Eli please." Eli spazzed again. "You will listen to me or i will break you!!" He then suddenly started speaking Fallen script angrily at himself. "Clam it you docked piece of trash! I am your superior!! I am your breaker!!!!" Eli spazzed once more but the Speaker quickly pinched Eli's core. The beam went from Eli to the server as Eli screamed painfully. He tried to jerk away at first but soon calmed down, though he still cried in pain. The Speaker let go of Eli's core as the steady beam continued until it finally cut out. Instead of fainting like normal, Eli collapsed in the Speakers hands and continued to cry uncontrollably. The Speaker petted Eli gently. "You did well... the pain will stop soon... you did well..." He looked to the other two Warlocks. "If nothing else, alert the Vanguard. We will discuss this tomorrow morning, I have a feeling terrible things are coming." The Warlocks nodded and ran for the barracks. The Speaker looked at Eli. His hands were wet with tears as Eli continued to weep. He sighed and held the poor Ghost close. "I hoped we could keep this from happening... but you may hold the key to saving lives Eli... I pray your suffering ends soon...."
