Chapter 2: Breaking Free

Tamsin and Osiris are under attack as they fight back but Osiris reveals he is not actually human himself: He is a ghoul, who is not afraid to go out on his enemies. Tamsin is surprised as she reveals she is not normal like him. Earlier, she had witnessed Atlas become a ferocious titan right before her eyes. Tamsin was afraid but she realized there is nothing to fear in someone who is misunderstood. She fights alongside him as she vows to be with him always. Atlas's walls were breaking down as he invites Tamsin into his heart. Back in reality, Tamsin and Osiris escaped. Later, They managed to find a quiet place and landed there. Tamsin let Osiris go safely from her grasp. “So, what are you?” asked Osiris. “I can’t explain it.” explained Tamsin. "That’s not a good answer.” Osiris said. Tamsin sighs, “Fine. Maybe I can show you.” She said. “How?” asked Osiris. Tamsin leans over and kisses him on the lips. Osiris could see Tamsin’s memories of her life that was now a tragedy. Tamsin parted her lips away from Osiris and looked at him. "So, whatcha think?" Tamsin asked with a smile. Osiris was stunt until he remembered what happened. "Arrrrrggggggghhhhh!!!!!!!" He shouted. Osiris charged at her as his powers but Tamsin dodged him as she hit a wall. "You're right, you're right. I should've done that. It was wrong to kiss you but it's just a kiss. I was trying to show you--" Tamsin said quickly as possible. "Never. Again!" Osiris warned. "Right, sorry! Sorry!" Tamsin apologized. "'Less I say so." muttered Osiris. Tamsin looked at him, "What you say?" She asked. "Nothing!" snapped Osiris. Tamsin held up her hands, "OK, OK, Take it easy. I thought you said something but never mind." She claimed. Osiris nodded, "Are you an angel? A demon?" He asked. “Not at all, I just…I am no demon nor angel. I come in peace and came to know you—Osiris Cassander. Please, give me a chance.” Tamsin explained. At once; Osiris turned back into a human and nodded. “OK. I’ll trust you. But if you pull anything, I’ll kill you.” He said. 

In the meantime; Atlas is working when he heard classical music and went to see where the music is coming from. He entered a room where he found Tamsin is dancing alone. He enters as he looks at her mesmerizing self. "What are you doing in here?" Atlas asked. Tamsin stopped for a moment, she strolls over to him with a smile. "Dancing to this song, it's pretty is it not?" She replied. Atlas listened to the song and nodded, "It sounds nice. You dance very well." remarked Atlas. Tamsin answered back with a grin, "Thanks, practice makes perfect." She lends out her hand, "Would you like to try it?" She asked. Atlas looked nervous but Tamsin hold firm and said, "C'mon, just one second." Atlas sighed, giving in. Tamsin lead him to the floor, she stood there with him as she instructs him of what he needs to do. Atlas awkwardly placed his hands on her shoulder and then in her hand. During the waltz, Atlas stepped on her foot, he then winced with shame. "I'm sorry." He said. "No, my bad! I went too fast." Tamsin apologized. Atlas felt tears of anger in his eyes, "Ugh, forget this crappy--" He cried, he was about to pull away but Tamsin hold him tightly, "Uh, uh. C'mon, one little screw up. No blood, no foul. It's all good." She said. Then, Atlas looked at her eyes, Tamsin looked back at him in his eyes and then she did something she never imagined. Leaning towards him, she pressed her lips against his. Atlas was shocked, he felt slightly suffocated for a second. "Why was she doing this?" He thought. "I can't breathe but I can't help but taste her soft lips and that taste...So sweet...." Tamsin's kiss took a turning point, where Atlas is letting himself give away. They both pulled away as they were gasping, "I--I'm sorry, again." Atlas said. 

"Ah! Forgive me, my bad." Tamsin apologized. "Let's keep this kiss between us." Atlas said. Tamsin agrees. But Tamsin feels like she has feelings for both Atlas and Osiris, which troubles her. Even Atlas and Osiris lack in one another is really not a good sign, not at all. In the meantime; Helios Robin looked at the ship that will take him to the world called Jotunheim. The ship was pained black but with outlines of gold. He saw how huge it was. "That's Iron Mountain." said a female's voice. Helios turned to see who it was, it was none other than Sarama. "How do you know?" asked Helios, curious for a moment. "The girls of this ship who are coming told me." replied Sarama, but she seemed excited. "Set sailing to a whole, brave new world!" She exclaimed. "My, sounds like someone is excited right Evita?" said a chipper voice. "Indeed, Lynda." agreed a solemn sounding voice. Helios looked behind to see who it was: Two girls, each of them seemed like identical but were very different by hair color. One girl has blonde hair, pink blush, and much paler skin that contrast well with the color clothing she wore--Pink and white. This was Lynda. The other was black haired, light skin but not too pale and her clothes were red & black. These two were former experiment weapons of IEPS, Evita & Lynda Gibson. "Helios Robin is it?" asked Evita, she lend out her hand and said, "I am Evita Gibson." Helios looked at her then he shook her hand. Evita was slightly surprised by how strong his grip is. 

"And I am Lynda, her sister." said Lynda. Helios nodded, "So are we going or what?" He said. "You sure are one for patience." remarked Evita, "Yes. We are setting forth sir." "Good, I wonder if there are other worlds." said Helios. "You'll see." replied Lynda. And so, they were off through the portals with the Iron Mountain ship. In the meantime, a beautiful young woman was asleep as the sun was rising up from underneath the ground as it look. Once morning was approaching, The woman woke up to hear the tribal sounds of men chanting the ritual, "Hega hega ya-hi-ye-hega...." She stirred when she listens to this singing, she smiled and happily got out of bed. She gets dressed as she begins to talk to herself, "I feel free and not confined. The doors and windows have been closed for so long that I've forgotten what it was like to have them open. Most of my life I've been alone in the corridors, now I'm excited that I’ll have other people there. She almost never comes in contact with strangers, so it will be an exciting change to socialize. However, things are about to change very quickly. Things are about to change from dark and gloomy to light and cheerful." She begins to twirling and dancing as she slips behind a cover where she removes her night sleep clothes and changed into her flowing dress and placed the hair accessories in her hair. She looked noble, by her clothing but she acted like a free spirited young lady. While she felt amazed, someone watched her carefully. A light blue-haired young man. He was watching her with concern, but others with white and light blue hair colors. Others had bright blue hair. The young one was a short girl. She has round, large blue eyes as she eagerly watches her. She runs over and is beside the young lady. 

The young lady glance at the girl and smiles as she begins to tell her about her thoughts, "I'm not sure what this feeling is, but I know I'm happy. I felt isolated for a long long time, but now I imagine the amount of people she can talk to. I imagine being all dressed up, in a sophisticated, graceful ball gown, looking beautiful and gorgeous, and posing against a wall." She said with dreaminess. But her whimsical nature faded, she felt anxious about some things. "Even though, I'm being a bit optimistic, but I'm also really scared of my sorcery, so I'm gonna try and calm myself. I have to put on a show so other people won’t know about me. If I dare make a mistake, everyone would know that I have a dangerous power and would be afraid of me. I'm worried I will reveal her powers, but I'm happy....it’s only for one day. I can't wait!" She brightens up again from the gloomy mood, "I hope I won’t have to be lonely any more. I know, it’s only for one day....so I'm going to make the most of it. It has to be today, if I don’t make friends, my loneliness will remain." But the young lady is summoned for monsters had attack and the young lady, who is being referred to as 'Her Highness'. Her subjects: Gerth, Ymir, Buri, Mannan, Brighid, and Nivian escorted her to where Isis could see Helios fight with such speed and strength. Isis is enticed with this young man and she turns to her subjects, "Listen up everyone...I have an idea." Everyone was falling down hard with the other monsters. That was about to change when someone looked up and saw something in the distance. "Look, up there! It's her Highness!" One of the soldiers called. 

Immediately, Captain Robin saw someone standing on a mountain top. A young lady stands tall, which she hollers: "Listen to me my people, heed my words, I am here to delivery you from the hands of the enemy. Witness the power of ice and water."  The others looked at each other with hope, Helios watched what she can do. The queen took a deep breath and flexed her hands out. She then said to herself, "Water....my friend...my partner...my world...my element...the only thing I ask for you...is for a little control." All of a sudden; to everyone was shocked to see a body of water in the sky. Then, the water came onto the monsters and drowned them. The woman then said to the water, "Water flowing through...." She chanted, ".....Freeze up when this spell is through." The water turns into a huge block of ice prison for the creatures. Then she glided down and kicked the ice block, which exploded in pieces. The maiden landed among the pieces, she curtsy. But noticed Helios and the two locked eyes for a moment. Helios got a good look of the young lady: The young woman has hair was straight and of mid length and flowing while also very wavy. Her eyes has shades of turquoise and sea green, there were gems on the sides of her eyes near her eyes. There was white and dark blue among the eyelids. There was a few strands of her hair were bright blue and some few strands were light blue and white. She approached Helios and said, "My name is Queen Isis Keller." She said. Isis beamed and then looked to see Helios looking at her and said. "I'm Captain Helios Robin. Nice to meet you." He said. Then he bowed in respect to her. Isis and Helios became friends, where Isis explains her powers and Helios asked something.

"Can I say something?" said Helios, "I like to see some proof of your power." Isis looked at him with disbelief, "Right now?" She asked. Helios nodded, "Yes." He said. She stood up as she said slowly, "OK..." Isis straightened herself together, she rolled her shoulders back and then she closed her eyes as she whispered, "...Here goes...." Concentrated; she was about to summon this power but the distraction of a tree branch snapping made her lose concentration. Isis spun to him to glare however her powers accidentally froze a deer. Shocked, Isis used her powers to defrost the creature, who scampered away in fright. It was silent for a moment before Helios spoke up, "I don't think this is good for her to use this power. She shouldn't use it." Isis looked at him with surprise. Isis approached him and said to Helios, "You've been to many more places than me so you think that you know more about people like me than I do myself. We all have specialized knowledge pertinent to our lifestyle and worldview. Being outside of our element can reduce us to a state of ignorance." She said. Isis walked ahead as Helios followed her in curiosity although he looked stoic still underneath all that. Isis looked back at him and said, "The reality is far more nuanced from what little you know of Jotunheim polar civilization, they exhibited many similar attributes to the other counterparts. The Jotunheim notion of land ownership, while we have a more communal and respectful relationship with nature." She said. Then she points out the bear, "For example the bear. The bear initially seems dangerous and thus prepares to shoot it, but by following it they find it has a litter of cubs." She said. Helios looked over at the mother bear and her cubs. Isis walked ahead of Helios but looks back to see and Helios continued to look around. Isis smiles, she walks up to him and said, "The world is largely a closed environment, nutrients, carbon, and all other constituent ingredients for life circulate in an endless cycle."

"I can take you on an adventure!" She said to him, then she turned to a beautiful scenario of a waterfall. "The world you don’t know exists is more beautiful than you can imagine. You’ve lived your whole life letting your thoughts, societal expectations, and logic motivate your actions; are you ready to be primal?" Isis hands him a water flower, Helios took it and looked at it. Isis smiles as she showed Helios more while saying, "I can be your guide through a new world. A way of seeing the world that was once unattainable. Forbidden. The truly free recognize no authority, no masters holding leashes." She said while twirling with happiness. Then, Isis leans over at Helios, her forehead touches his and they were looking at each other's eyes again. "Free to live as we chose and the only real limitations are those you impose upon yourself." She breathed, her breath smelled of peppermint. It was intoxicating as it seems. Isis pulled away for a moment and she glance back at him. Helios thought for a moment, "I had thought life was what and how I viewed it but now I realize that....there is so much more. With the new heights I've reached, I'm having a change of heart. I'm seeing things from a different, more clear perspective." He said. "You can own everything there is to have in the world, but you’ll never be happy and understand it until you can put away with the greed and selfishness." But then she sensed someone was crying out as Isis and Helios head over there. They saw the ocean was calm. Nobody was there as Isis looked around but then she is trapped in an ice cage. When Helios saw this, he went to get help.

Isis is encased in an ice fort and begins to hallucinate in there as she begins to peer into the glass but she saw a blurry image of her parents' killer in there. She trembles with fear until she angrily slammed her fist into the glass but then she falls back, as her fears got worse enough to torment her. Isis stands up when she saw a hallucination of a butterfly as she begins to feel better. But then Isis is filled with dread when she saw a bat flying. She backs away with fear, but then she has a hallucination in the encased ice as she saw herself with a body filled with cracks like she was made of glass and begins to have a scary illusion of herself breaking out of the fort but she is falling to her doom. Isis put that out of her head and decides to go for it, she shatter the fort but herself in her hallucination she shatters as well. Isis faces her enemies and begins to remove her weaponry. Then, she unleashed her powers; laughing happily at herself and uses her powers against her foes and demons. Isis removed her uniform top, revealing a bandeau top underneath and begins to run but looks behind as she smirks at those with astounding glances. Isis stomped on the ground, turning it into ice and using water into her own weapons. She felt stronger, more confident and no longer afraid. Isis twirled like a prima ballerina, she never felt this happy or this freedom in her life. She removed the hairtie from her bun and shook her long tresses out where she ran her fingers through them as glitter filled each strand. Isis's clothings became cyan colored thanks to her ice and water. She never felt so free in all her life! And now she was faced with new beginnings. And for awhile, she's not the least bit cold!

Tamsin, Atlas, and Osiris woke up in the bedlam house. This was no hospital paradise. It was one hell of a nightmare! They had been doing a mission about madness going on in the world of Michtlan, which they stumbled across a forest and then everything went black. In this asylum, these doctors that uses knowledge of the workings of the body and mind to do evil, abuses the authority they has from their doctorate, and practices freakish and horrific experiments. Of course, for all their insanity, the doctor may in fact know what they're doing. Patients may be terrified by the way they act and the bizarre treatments they puts them through, but when the doctors are done with them they're actually cured. Sometimes there are no therapists and sometimes some only wish there weren't. Mental illness or psychological trauma can be serious, damaging issues that may need many months, if not years, of serious and dedicated care from a highly trained and understanding professional. These guys are therapists who really should not be a therapist; at best they will display a criminally negligent. They lack of empathy with the patient and either grow callously frustrated with dealing with other people's problems, or give them horrible and often self-destructive advice; at worst, they will have sinister, ulterior motives and actively abuse the relationship, possibly making their hapless victim an unwitting pawn in some evil schemes, or perhaps deliberately sabotaging their fragile mental state out of sheer spite. Nurses are incredibly sadistic and cruel nurse, they're always women. She kicks patients, the weaker the better. 

If she isn't already the head nurse, her cruelty gives her a degree of power over both the patients and the other nurses. Anybody who goes against her ends up injured or worse, and she jumps at the chance to give a particularly rebellious patient a lobotomy. Especially if she decides to test interesting new drugs on her helpless patients. On a deeper level, the sadist nurse explores a very real fear that many patients have going into hospital. They are still hugely unsympathetic and enjoys having power over the patients and other nurses, but can still say with some justification that everything she's doing is for the patients' own good although the patients are unlikely to see it like that. Lobotomy is a rare medical operation that cuts into part of a person's brain in order to treat mental illness. Lobotomies and similar drastic brain alterations are still used as last-ditch treatment for intractable epilepsy, there was little evidence that it did anything therapeutic. The most often performed procedure rarely helped; it simply destroyed random brain matter. But for some people who are  chirpy, energetic, and arguing with the nurses. The next day, they're quiet and compliant, drooling, emotionless empty shells. Even the electroconvulsive therapy, with tongue laceration to gag them during the shock therapy. 

Then there are the patients with their head in the clouds. They are strangely oblivious to things that everyone else takes for granted. They may have an argument with themselves for fun, make points in an argument with no basis in logic or reality, or tell rambling stories that have nothing to do with the point they're trying to make. One among the insane would mumble, "Man was not meant to comprehend, man was not meant to use. Man was not meant to hear, man was not meant to experience. Man was not meant to meet, man was not meant to visit. man was not meant to scry. Man was not meant to read, man was not meant to comprehend....Even after he was foolish enough to look at them." Despite their relative normality, they struggle to convince the therapists of the fact. And the more they struggle, the closer they get to lunacy itself, sometimes becoming indistinguishable from the others around them. The patients may be "cured" of their "delusions" rendering them useless or troublesome until they may revel in their madness while doing what they did before, possibly with psychobabble or go insane with violence. Perhaps it's because a hospital environment makes people feel more than a little vulnerable, and anxious about whether their caregivers have their best interests in mind. 

Perhaps many of the orderlies are depicted as petty, they take advantage of the patients. When he's not stealing patients' medication to sell on the street, any orderly with lower tastes may procure drugs from hospital stocks for personal use, or secretly trade them to addicts under their care in exchange for favors. The creepiest of all don't bother to barter or deflower the patients who are too drugged or crazy to report the offense. The three of them have been through hell of shock therapies and blood letting of leeches. It had been a nightmare. An actual nightmare. Separated from one another in different wards; they all were wondering about one another. Osiris was being passive about his feelings for Tamsin: "She doesn’t even know about the existence of me. She has no shared experiences. I know a lot about her, but of course she knows nothing of me." He thought. Osiris begins to cry as he thoughts begin to trouble him, "I don’t want to go through this stage of withdrawals. I don't want to forget how it feels to be heartbroken. I actually like the way it feels, I wish to stay in withdrawal. I love the feeling of heartbreak, I want to let it all go." Osiris looks up as he saw the moonlight shining upon him. "It can be pretty lonely here. Heartbreak often leaves a strong feeling of loneliness, reduction of self confidence and a general sense of being empty and people will usually try to hide these feelings. It breaks the defenses and lets all the emotions show. But I don't want the sadness to overtake and kill me. Happiness is artificial and that only I know in my sorrow. What goes up must come down, but I will rise up as a better person from this. Despite everything, I'm move on." He thought. Then, Osiris fell asleep. 

Atlas couldn't sleep, he could hear screaming in the next door room and he had been tossing & turning. "I'm so torn apart....I can’t accept the fact that she is not next to me. Here I follow the moonlight until I find her bed where she lays. I should go to her bed and take her home with me." He thought. Atlas gets up from his bed as he crept over to the door that leads her to room and peeks in to the keyhole in the knob, Tamsin's naked body from the back was full of scars from all the treatment. "I have stopped outside her room. I can see her getting changed, she's undressing in the dark and not letting them see her. She's hiding from them. I’ll never know the way that what they've said has freaked her out and made her paranoid. They'd try and get her to do the things they want her to do, which is whatever their demands are. They believe they know her, but they’re wrong." thought Atlas. He looks away with anger, "She belongs to me. I’ve got her cornered, so just come out and get it over. They’re haunting her in her dreams and she’s terrified. They’ve all got her. She can’t sleep, because then she’ll experience these nightmares." He slumps away as he clutched the ends of his hair as the thoughts in his head became aggressive, "I want her to believe that she would love me. She would be too, so it does not really make a difference. She's only confused at the moment but that she will notice that I'm the only person she needs. Maybe she would be with me voluntary." He lays back in his room and his thoughts continued to swirl, "She's the only person I want, the only person I need...I would do everything for her but she can’t escape me because we belong together."

He smiled maniacally, "It doesn't matter where she goes, I will find her anyway. It won’t be hard to find her wherever she might hide. Everything would be perfect now that we are together. I'm so terribly in love with her, I want her to believe it, too.  Together, they are so strong that nothing can harm us, nor even death can part us. We can live forever." thought Atlas. In her own bed, Tamsin was lying here. This wasn't the first time she was in a place like this and she dislikes it the most. "All the pressure from Atlas and Osiris is a lot on my back. God gave me a purpose to change the lives of them. I don’t want them to cling to me and depend on me, because I can’t help them both. God fix me from what I've become. If they love me, they have to realize I'm only human, and can fend for myself. I'm a frail little doll. I won’t feel pressured because I'm changing. They love me so much, but can’t hear her screaming. They can’t fix my problems like I'd fixed theirs. How can all claim to love me, when they don’t know what I'm going through? Do they love me for looks or my actual personality. Or it could mean do they love my fake personality or my real one?" Tamsin thought, she gets up from her bed and looked up at the window of the night sky. "We’ll be together again. I can’t believe I actually had to leave them, it must be a dream. I just can’t believe that we’re so far away from each other now. This time we’ll be together again  It isn’t real, but imaginary. This all must be a dream." She thought. And then, it happened. Lo and behold, they escaped on that one day. 

Tamsin, Atlas, and Osiris woke up in an illusion and looked around, depressed various places of the asylum as this was some sort of treatment for them. The doctors and nurses was delighted while the other three is gloomy. But they were in dismay when they saw Tamsin and the guys reenact with the scenarios, changing their style and they look happy. Suddenly, the trio ducked down and they peered over as the asylum staff looked shocked that they found out, which occurred them to smile at this. The asylum staff frantically tried to stop it, try to trap them in there but to no avail; Tamsin, Atlas, and Osiris broke the illusion with her powers. , which angered them and the asylum staff watched in a fury. They took their chances and swim underwater. Tamsin and the boys felt joy around them. She begin to look eager as she swim a little closer. They eagerly swim into the dark abyss. Tamsin and the boys were landing as they saw light flashing in her hands and a bright light appears, it opened up as it amazed them when the scenario changed once again. They woke up as they look in the street of the city they were in. The street had chalk of fun shapes of suns, moon, stars, and flowers. Meanwhile, Karina was on a horse. She was practicing on galloping, riding, and jumping. While doing so, she remembers something that she did with Commander Knightly. And Karina looked back at when.

She was on a horse and she looked out at the forest path and looked back to see Commander Jove Knightly and the others. "You want me to gallop down this path? Are you sure?" asked Karina. "Just a warm up, just to see how much you improve on your skills." assured Commander Knightly. Karina seemed anxious about this task, "I don't know if I'm up for this." She commented. Captain Robin came beside her, putting a hand on her shoulder, "You can do it, you're the best we got." He said. "Really?" asked Karina. She was trembling and then she brightens up, "OK. I'll do it!" She exclaimed. Karina took the reins and prepared herself. She closed her eyes for a moment but then opens them instantly. Pulling on the reins; Karina cried, "HI-YAH!" And she galloped down the path while the others ride behind her but Karina was much faster. She looked back to see they were still following her. She felt faint fear but mostly she felt excitement running through her body. Karina had never felt such adrenaline through her, she tilted her head back and spread her arms out. Karina was snapped back to reality by the sound of the horse neighing, it brought her back to earth and she managed to stop the horse. She panted and panted but she laid her head down on the back of the horse however she sat up when the others approached. 

Jove nodded with a smile, Karina was so excited that she fist pumps the air and cheered, "Woo hoo!" Karina snaps back from the memory as she smiles, remembering that day. In the meantime, Tamsin runs into trouble. Giovanni was attempting to strangle Atlas however she managed to get there in time with Osiris beside him. "Giovanni!?" Tamsin cried. The man turned as he released Atlas, he smiled at her, "Tammy, hello sweetheart." "What you want." Tamsin demanded. "I want you back." Giovanni begged. He walked one step closer, "Giovanni." Tamsin started to say nervously. "It could be like it was before." Giovanni said, pleadingly. This horrified Tamsin, "No, Giovanni!" She said. Never, she never want to go back to the way it was. Being his puppet again. Giovanni continued to rant, "You were the only one I ever loved, worthy. I can't live without you." He said. "Giovanni, Stop this now! I want you to be flat out honest and answer me--" Tamsin admonished. Giovanni looked at her, "Tamsin, you get your ass out there right now!" "No." Tamsin said. Giovanni walked over to her with a rage look. 

"Are you talking back to me? Disobeying your own father, I do not care how old you are. You are going to listen to me." "Giovanni, please I don't wanna go with you ..." Tamsin begged, taking a few steps back of her own but her father would not stop. . "..... Like it or not, I will have to force you away from this place one way or another ....." "No!" Tamsin screamed in hysterics, she used her powers to kick him in the stomach and he fell down. He fell down on the ground and looked up in shock. Tamsin looked at him calmly, "I am the daughter of Nikita Tanner and the sister of Idina Tanner. Next time you hurt me, you will be sorry for messing with me." She warned. Giovanni left but that didn't mean he was gone for good.
