“Chaos is true freedom. The world is made up of chaos, and thermodynamics only proves it. We all should just embrace and accept it, no? Unless you’re one of those bastard lawfuls? You aren’t right?” – a chaotic philosopher
The ground starts to shake, white powder falls to the floor as a light dusting of snow, and Alex is forced to wake. Alex tries to reflexively open his eyes, only to come once again to the reality of his blindness, as he does every time he wakes.
‘That’s a lot of shaking, I wonder what’s going on out there, an earthquake or something?’
The ‘earthquake’ increases in intensity, lab equipment falls, the pile of books becomes more disorganized, and the lab approaches an even messier state, before all of a sudden stopping.
‘???’
Far from the scene, a certain flying man looks down at his watch, his eyes open in surprise, and he starts rushing in the opposite directions at a far faster speed than before.
“I’ve found you, it was a bit difficult getting by the security measures, but definitely worth it.” Says Ivona, soaked in sweat, while approaching Alex, when she reaches him though she suddenly goes stock still.

‘Was that Ivona? Is she here?’
This glimmer of hope causes Alex to struggle against the bonds he had almost forgotten.
“He did that to you… What a horrible man, but I was expecting something like this if I ever found you alive, it’s better than the alternative…”
Ivona then unclasps the restraints to expose blistering raw skin beneath.
“I’ll treat you later, but for now hang on. We need to get out of here.
Ivona then slings Alex’s limp frail body onto her back before walking to the door.
“Just hang on, everything is going to be okay…”
Ivona kicks the door that has already fallen to one hinge.
Alex coughs for a moment before speaking hoarsely.
“Ivona, thank you.”
Ivona goes stock still once again before shaking her head while mumbling to herself, “Later Ivona, now’s not the time” She then nods before jumping into the sky while chanting.
“Domain of wind.”
She then flies into the sky, making good distance.
For a moment, Alex experiences peace.
Before a certain gray-haired man crashes into Ivona before taking a dagger and stabbing her.
In the aftermath, Alex falls, crashing and tumbling through the sporadically forested ravine, till he rolls to a stop, a puddle of blood forming beneath him.
Then stone starts shifting, and a massive formation opens like an eyelid.
“And now, the second part of the contract will be fulfilled.”
