Ɲιηנαgσ- A ωσяƖɗ ωιтнσυт ƐνιƖ- VERSION 3!! (ACCEPTING)

[Prince Endymion]

Luna grinned, "Ha! I was on the right track for vents then? I think that makes sense!" She said happily.

Zane frowned, "Chrome! Chrome no... It wasn't you. Things have been very stressful and since he will not allow me to assist, things have just been piling up. You are not to blame for this." He looked at Kendal, "Kendal..." he opened his arms, looking at him, tilting his head slightly, seeing if he would hug him.

[kia.]

Cyrus laughs. "It would be one of the only logical answers to filtering air. So yes, I suppose you are."

Chrome rolled backward, turning to follow Neon. He truly felt it was all his fault. He was just another thing for Kendal to worry about.

Kendal pauses for a moment before hugging Zane tightly, sobbing. "I was just trying to be strong..."

[Prince Endymion]

Zane shook his head, "Being strong does not mean you allow your emotions build up like this. If you had come to me before, you would not be in this situation. Being strong does not mean that you must act like everything is alright. Being strong does not mean you can not cry. Crying is not a sign that you are weak. It is a sign that you have been strong for much too long. Being strong does not mean cutting those people in your life who you care about away when things get rough." He said, hugging Kendal tightly. "Being strong... in the real way... Is knowing when things are too much for you. Being strong is speaking to those you care for about what you are feeling. Being strong is knowing how to release your emotions in a healthy way." He looked at Kendal. "Kendal... I do not like seeing you get like this. This is why, I have told you in the past, to come to me. Speak to me Kendal. You are in so much emotional pain right now. I can see it. I can help you Kendal, but only if you will allow me to. I love you Kendal. You are my son ad you mean so much to me. Time has been hard on all of us. We can not run from our problems but we must learn to accept them. Pixal may be gone for now, but that doesn't mean that all of your interactions have to stop. I understand not wanting to speak to many people, but at least speak to me. I may not fully understand what you are going through, as I have gone through many different experiences than you, but I can tell you that being a ninja, having an elemental power and everything that goes along with it, has it's hardships. It may seem all fun and games to people, but it is not. Sometimes, it may be a burden. I had my brothers to surround me. We were there for each other, and we always shall be. Cole has proven this a few days ago. We knew how to support each other through everything that was thrown at us. You have many people who wish to be there to support you Kendal. Me, Cambria, Chrome, Luna even. But, by keeping everything inside, you are not allowing us to give you the support you need."

Luna grinned, "Ok great! Now what do we do?"

(AHhhhhhhh.)

[kia.]

(*applause*)
Kendal wiped the tears from his cheeks, the tears only being replaced a few moments later. "I.. I hate feeling this way.. So much... Everything is just so.. Confusing!" he pauses. "Everything I thought about myself, when I was just beginning to be comfortable being on the sidelines and helping the others.. It all just faded when I somehow pulled all of that ice up. I don't know what happened there, or how it happened.. I.. I don't believe that I even did any of it! It was clear from the start Cambria would be the next ice elemental because of her resemblance to you. When we were younger we could care less! We were just being kids.. Now.. Now everything is even more complicated. Family relations, finding where I stand.. My music and military career were torn away from me.. I lost a part of who I am.. And I feel like I'm loosing uneven more or myself every day.. I'm just so confused.. I don't know what to do."

"We need to work on designing the fan." Cyrus chuckles.

[Prince Endymion]

(Whew. That was a nice post there Zane. ahh the feels. THat's why it got so long. I knew what I was saying and I just. Ahh. This is what I do literally every other week of school. Comfort my friends...)

Zane nodded, "Growing up is tough, though, I am not the best person to talk about growing up. The other ninja would understand it better. Maybe even Lloyd. He went from being young to being older in just a few seconds." He nodded, "Life is complicated. And I do not enjoy seeing you this way. Resemblance has nothing to do with it Kendal. It was more of my fault than anything. It is I who had the elemental powers before you did and it will be me to blame for all of your struggles. You will find your place in the world Kendal. There are people who are willing to help you. Focus on the parts of you that you still have in your life. The things that are keeping you together. What might they be? Think about those Kendal."

Luna smiled, "Ooo! Ok, sounds good!"

[kia.]

"The things keeping me together?! You guys!! That's it!! The people I love and nothing more! Its only in my coding to protect on instinct.." Kendal shook his head. "With the elemental powers.. I just feel terrible about it.. Cambria had put so much work into mastering all of those sequences and such.. And for what?! What did she get in return? Seeing me, the goofball, over power her after going through two sequences!! As if I didn't stand over her before.. I hate belittling her. I hate belittling anyone."

Cyrus nods. "Let me go grab a few computer fan models to serve as design supports."

(Same here.)

[Prince Endymion]

Zane frowned, "Kendal... I do not wish for you to worry about that. The ice powers are uneven between you two. It was not your fault, it was not Cambria's fault. If it is anyone's fault, it is mine. You have not tried talking to her about this situation with the ice. You are going to want to. Letting this hang over your head will keep both of you from reaching what you both have the potential to do. This situation is one that you are going to need to work out with Cambria." He said. "I want you to just focus on here and now. Do not worry about the past, do not worry about the future. Just think about those whom you care deeply about for a while. And relax. I want you to calm down. It is easier to talk when you are calmer and not getting worked up, as I can see that you are."

Luna nodded, watching Cyrus go.

(;-; Daw.)

[kia.]

As the elevator door closed behind Cyrus, Jay turned and walked over to stand beside Luna. "He sounds very impressed."

Kendal shook his head, focusing on calming himself down. He hated loosing control of his emotions, wether they be positive or negative. But then, this was the cost of overriding his original coding. He paused, thinking on the matter for a moment. What would he be like if he hadn't overidden his coding a few years after he was built? He couldn't even clearly remember how He was in his younger years before the coding mess up. "Okay.." he said in a much more steady voice than before. "Okay.." he repeated with a sigh, his shoulders dropping has he relaxed.

(;-; all aboard the feels train.)

[Prince Endymion]

Luna looked up at Jay, "You think so?!"

Zane nodded, looking around, "Ok... Do you wish to go home Kendal? So we can talk somewhere more... private? I know that I would feel uncomfortable saying everything on my mind in a place like this..." He asked, looking at Kendal his eyes full of concern, smiling at him, kindly.

(;-; Da feelss. Man, this is something I can do. I understand sad feels and help my friend through sad feels.)

[kia.]

"Yes.. I do.. Forget participating in the derby." Kendal waved an arm boredly in the direction of the derby pit. "This place is a deathplace for other machines.. I don't know why I wanted to join in in the first place."

"Yes. He sounded impressed." Jay nodded. "I couldn't be more proud!!" he giggles.

(I understands. But I have diferent ways of helping through sad feels.)
