Stolen Hope.
Leaving Earth and Josh and Henry and Katima had been terribly hard for Avalon. When the sun set, he said goodbye to Josh and forced himself to go. Reaching Odym is imperative now, but only because Avalon doesn't know what else to do with himself. His whole life is crumbling.

The Blue Lantern doesn't cry anymore, for he's shed all his tears by now into Josh's shirt. It felt good to let that go, but it's past now and it's time to be serious. To face the bed that he's made. Avalon does not expect to be welcomed warmly - there's never been a case of a Blue Lantern loosing their way the way he has. He's fairly certain that he will be returning his ring and sent back to Nalor. Even thousands of sectors away, Avalon knows that his heart had been left behind on Earth. He is so comfortably numb he couldn't say with confidence that he really cared what happened to him.

He's keeping on his toes though - Avalon knows that traveling is dangerous. Despite his speed, he's all but helpless. He may not care what the Lanterns on Odym do with him, but he'd rather not become space-worm food.

	Not at all amused, Avalon wheels to face the attack, trying to put eyes on whomever is striking at him. He can't do much more than shield himself, but he can at least try to evade. "Seriously? Seriously?" he growls. His emotions are right under the surface, and after the day he's had, he goes straight to anger, "Just leave me the fuck alone!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nay," the human-like man says. Three rings glint on his fingers: orange, yellow, and violet, though the violet ring appears dead. "Ye are the Blue Lantern partner of mine arch-foe!" he declares. "And ye shall serve as bait for mine trap!" He opens fire on Avalon with both the orange and yellow rings. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avalon grits his teeth as he tries to pull his shield up between himself and the madman. It's barely in time though, and he grunts under the force of trying to maintain under his orange and yellow rings. "I guess you didn't get the memo, but he's not my partner anymore." Avalon replies through his teeth. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It matters not," Malicor sneers, firing another dual blast. The violet ring sparks, but there is no reaction. "Ye will draw him to me... and then both thy rings will decorate mine fingers!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Damnit.." Avalon mutters to himself, and then gasps softly as the yellow beam starts to crack through his shielding. Avalon doesn't linger on any regrets though, he simply, calmly, diverts more power to his shield, trying to keep it up.

But it can't hold forever. The orange starts to burn through the cracks made by the yellow, and soon enough Avalon's world fades away in a bright sea of orange and yellow.
