Yuki watches from the sky and sees Hitomi fall hard to the ground and lay still,carefully she lands and sees shes still alive,"You were brought into this world to kill me off, I thy in being of the shadow kitsune dear sis....body of the blood kitsune." Just as she took another step Hitomi flings her hand disarming the sythe from Yuki and land in the ground by its blade, she turns to hitomi in rage but sees her hand go back down from the pain of the impact. Yuki eyes Hitomi's spear and grabs hold of it as it glowed black with her energy, able to kill her now she stops tears fill her eyes. It was a happy thing to actually meet her long lost sister but now standing here she would have to kill a blood relative with her own hands. She begins to visualize the past of how much joy the two had and how each was happy,"I cant do this....not my sister but.....if I dont she whould kill and then what....the realm would fall apart.
Yuki looks down at Hitomi shaking the spear in her hands as she decides to end this once and for all,"Forgive me my sister...this is hard on me and it will hurt but fear not, I promise you shall go to the best place there is for you and you shall be happy....and now I say this tearfully, farewell Hitomi...." Hesitend she tries once but drops it again to her side, once able to do it Yuki raises the spear above her head and impales hitomi hearing her gasp slightly as her throat filled with blood. Hitomi thrashes lightly and her eyes change back to normal and looks up to Yuki,"Little....sister Yuki...my sis-" Yuki drops the spear and kneels to her sister holding her head,"Hitomi...I'm so sorry it had to end like this,will you ever forgive me?" She starts to sob and feels hitomi's hand to her cheek,"Please dont cry....thats not the way a ruler should behave...I taught you that."
Yuki keeps going asking for forgiveness till Hitomi shushes her,"Thats enough little sis....I'm just glad I was able to make you proud of me....thats all I ever wanted to do and besides i was able to tell you the truth eh?" Yuki nods,"Well then, theres nothing more I need to do in this world, I've done my job and its time you continue on with yours....go, let this realm thrive in greatness with you as the ruler to it." Yuki sobs again and looks to her,"Hitomi i promise, you shall go to a better place where there is no need to fight and your always happy." her head lowers."I promise...." Hitomi smiles at her till she breathes one last time and dies with her hand sliding off Yuki's face.
Yuki's eyes widen and lets out a painful scream, she had killed her sister and she died right in her arms. Gently she lays Hitomi's head down stroking her hair and stays kneeled, her tears turned into the greiving blood tears and stays next to her sister's body crying for what she had did and had no choice.

I watch her, and then Sara is there. Her5 face red with anger. "Your husband is dead, you sister is dead! What does this world have for you?" She slides into Yuki's side, and kneels down to her sister. Her hands work fast, and soon, Hitomi is breathing again. "And I can bring them all back...." My mouth parts as she looks up to me. "You do realize that I can bring back Vertusk, after Gaband killed him, or did you not know he had died yet? I have brought your sister back from the brink, think of it. I can bring all the solace to your tears." She wipes the blood from Yuki's face. "Since for some reason, there is somebody working against all that you have created. Someone working in the shadows. Your father, perhaps? I can always help you fight him as well. I could give you endless power...... all you have to do is but ask." She stands and starts to walk off. She flashes me a triumphant smile, and Alexavior growls deep. Jurdean starts trembling, still knocked out cold from the power struggle that had just happened.

Yuki stayed kneel but shock from Sara's new of Vertusk's death,"My husband? no......no! not him too...why is everyone dying that I truely care for?!" she stays there kneeling feeling even more pain of now her love was killed as well, she didnt know what to think but what Sara said could be an answer,"Sara has the power to bring them back....I can have Vertusk and my sister and I myself can be happy however.....she's the enemy." At that moment all Yuki wanted was her love ones back but had to decide having them but go with Sara or to keep going as she was alone without her husband and sister, her mind was made up and she stands,"Sara!" Yuki yells and gets her attention, she looks to the others shocked at what she was doing but now it didnt matter to her,"I accept your agreement...as long as I have Hitomi and Vertusk back with me....I accept your offer."

I drop to my knees. Alexavior just becomes silent. Sara stops, and turns. Her hand outstretches, and she nods. Vertusk comes, his spirit that is. From the ground a body is made. His body. It happened in slow motion too. Then his clothes are stitched together, and his spirit enters. He stands there, dazed. I look to Yuki, who was crying again. I get up, and my whole being felt terrified. "Yuki, no...." Sara goes to Hitomi, and helps her up. She sits there for a moment, and grabs her throat. She looks around, and tilts her head.
"Then, Queen Yuki Khilack, ruler of the Shadow Realm, accept my gift of power? There is a catch to this treaty of power though. You must give your realm to me. And then, it too can prosper in the Golden Age. Earth is doing very well now. We have rebuilt, the crime is down, there is even a renewed wealth. Do you want your realm to participate, and get that wealth as well?" I could not believe my ears. Suddenly, my scarf takes a mind of its own. I run at Sara, and it strikes her, and wraps around her ankles. Yuki is there, and Sara calls out for her help. "Get him off of me!"

She eyes him and goes on all four and lunges tackling Azelus to the ground,Yuki wasnt sure much with the deal but as long as she got her love ones back it didnt matter. She stand now her nails sharpend and watches him lunge at her."I have what I want back true, I gave my realm to her but I have my desires back....I want to be happy." Yuki blocks with one hand and slashes with the other getting him off Sara and releasing the scarf, she then walks to Sara and helps her up,"As for the agreement the Shadow Realm is in your posession Sara,as long as I have them back and nothing bad comes from this." Turning to the others they couldnt believe that Yuki had gone sides with Sara, the one who caused mayhem to the universe now helping her. For her though it was mainly the spirit taking hold and comsuming her mind with the dread she had to deal with all this time and the blood she spilled from herself to keep things at a good pace. Now with Vertusk and Hitomi back she was happy but it was more of the kitsune who had overcome her to make the grim decision.

I sit there, and jump onto my feet. I stand, poised for attack. Vertusk, who still didn't seem to have a hold on the situation backs off slightly. "Wha-..... wha?" He rubs his head as he tries to figure it all out. I look back to Yuki and Sara. My head shakes as I show my disappointment, and I turn and run. I grab Jurdean's small form and I run from there. Alexavior is right behind me, trying to escape it as well. When we are far enough away, I sigh.
"Just is not right!" I shout out, he agrees. "Gah!"

A quiet and cold voice then answered Sara and Yuki. " Have you not learned your lesson yet? Everything comes at a price. Say......Vertusk and Hitomi did die but who's to say that their spirits are free to think and do like the rest of us.Would you and COULD you live with the fact that their very esence is trapped,imprisened by this witch? I wouldn't if I were you." Eve's eyes were glowing red from the dark shadows that were playing off of the walls. Sara whirled around and with the sickly,sweet words coming from her mouth, she answered. "Those are such big words for a human darling.Where did you ever hear such nonsence?" it was then that Scarlet decided to make a ditch effort.She once again made her presence known. Eve's eyes became bright red and she then spoke. " I heard it from you before you took over all the realms Sara. You should know that your time of ruleing is coming to and end very soon and once again Scarlet Knight, Queen of the Netherworld will once again rule with a just hand.She will end your pathetic life once and for all." Sara froze when she heard the familler voice and her face held the look of panic to it. She choked out," You! Enter the light right this instance! I command you to!" Scarlet mearly chuckled." If entered the light, you still would not see me since I have a power still that would allow you not to see me.You will just have to wait until yout time is up. In the meantime, have a parting gift." From the darkness, four daggers went flying and pinned Sara to the wall.She laughed it off until she saw rose vines begining to snake their way around her arms and legs.The thorns began to cut into her clothes and she cried in pain. "Yuki Nightshade! Be carful of what you ask because somethimes the true intent is hidden.I will not always be there to save your hide for you. If I were you, I would take your friends advise now and then. After all, she is me although she doesn't know it yet." With that Scarlet departed from Eve but not until she sent one last dagger at Sara's mouth. The dagger landed right my her mouth and the vines again began to snake their way over her mouth. it was now that Sara was now truly defensless. Eve mearly vanashed into the shadows once again and awaited for Yuki's responce.

The situation grew tense with every minute, Yuki had two sides to choose one, go on fighting against Sara and fight alone, or two, go to the side she had work hard to destoy in exchange to have all her dead loves alive again. Inside her mind though Yuki was fighting control over her own body with the shadow kitsune telling her to go against all she fought for but she had no clue what to do,"I cant chose....if I go to Sara I'll have my husband and sister back....however if I dont give in I'll continue to hurt." It was then it grew pitch black and surrounded Yuki in the dark, she turns to see a purple figure coming close, it was the shadoe kitsune spirit. ""Look at yourself, you look as weak as an innocent running from danger, dont you see what Sara has offered, with that power you can overrule this realm far greater than your father.....you will go beyond him."
Yuki was persistant but had problems how to solve this,"True I would like that dearly but what Scarlet says is the truth I should-" He lifts his head up and she's surrounded by a ring of shadow fire close enough to burn her if she moved even an inch, "Your a fool! she wants you to he unhappy, thats why she told you all those things about how they will not be actually them.....listen to me good, Sara tells the truth and keeps to her word, sure theres the price of giving the realm to her but it all pays off in the end. So now Yuki go ahead let me help you decide.....its better this way." The shadow kitsune watches and nods to her, with no simple choice Yuki took her hands to her side and looks to him,"Very well do as you wish great spirit.....choose for me." he smiles wickidly,"A wise decision your highness....very wise."
The darkness diminished and it was back to normal Yuki looking to everyone but walks to Sara tearing the thorns with her sharp black nails and turns to Eve,"True I must take advice and I have...I've chose to listen to the shadow kitsune spirit who has told me of great things to come and how I'll thrive more then my father did." Yuki goes back to Sara ripping the last of the thorns breaking her free,"Your offer still stands and I shall commence through with everything no matter what others say...my mind is made up." It was quiet for a moment but by everyones expression they were shocked, but as for Sara and Yuki they said different,Sara smiling is satisfaction and Yuki a grim smirk along with her changes infused with the spirit. Her eyes glowed red but were of that of a kitsune's and her moon shined black while purple outlined the cresent.
Turning to Vertusk she walks to him and hugs tightly thinking she would never see him again,"This is a sacrifice I'm withering to take for you and Hitomi....I have you back and thats all that matters, gods i would of been lonely." Yuki stays on happy but seen in her eyes they became dull almost like all the true emothions of her were replaced with dullness.

After having run, I decided it would be best not to see what was happening. But, Sara being Sara, she only comes to me. I am alone, with no one, but me and here. It was dark, and oh so cold. I wrap my scarf around my neck tightly. It moves slightly on its own. I stroke it like a pet. "Sara, come, please. What do you want with us all?" I ask her. "You have most of the realms under your control. What do you need with me?" She smiles wickedly. I knew it was not the real her. I have already seen this. A magical avatar of herself sent out to do her bidding. But she could still harm me, which makes me colder.
"I want where you live. I want all of it. That is the only place I have not a seed!" She closes in, and my scarf strike out. She keeps her distance. I assume a fighting stance, my closed fists raised high. She has her scythe in her hand. "You know as well as I that you can't hope to win, against even my avatar. Come, give it up." I close my eyes. She had a point. I could always give it up, Yuki had, why not me? It seemed like an appealing offer. I shake my head. "Then you want to die?" I shake my head again, and she tilts hers. "Then..... you think you can really fight me? No one lives! You must be mad! Hatter mad!" I slide towards her, and my scarf grabs hold of her scythe handle. She tries to pry it away, but I pull her in. I strike against her face with a punch, and she kicks out. I jump out of the way, my scarf letting go of her scythe.
"Leave me, just leave me be! I want no part in your games!" I yell out. Suddenly, I am staring into the three last Atlantean Cities. The people bustling about. My heart skips a beat, and I am on my knees.
"I can give this to you. I can bring it back as easily as I crushed it. That is, if you help me." I try to resist, but honestly, who can give up their home? "Take it, and I can reinstate Vertusk as the rightful Lord of the Magi. Come." I feel her presence next to me, and hear the water as the waves break against the singing sands. She was right. I did want this. I truly did. But it would be a lie. It would all be a lie.
"No, I can not live a lie!" I stand, and kick her feet from under her. My scarf delves into her throat, and she gasps for breath, before the magics fade and I am before Alexavior. Jurdean was sitting up, his face flustered. The centaurs come, right on queue to take us away. They did not force us, no, someone had told them not to, and I knew who. I briskly walk into the portal, and Jurdean follows.

Yuki lets Vertusk go but doesnt feel the normal emotions she felt around him, his expression was still confused as he still tries to wonder where he was or what has happened. She feels this and her smiles fades,"Perhaps hes still in shock...Hitomi as well is the same since she just saw death in the eyes not too long ago." Looking to her and then to the others she leaves them and walks to the black swamps alone, day turned to night as the tree begun to cover the light and all that was seen was woods and fumes of decay. "Well on the bright side I'll be much stronger then I was before....but still....." Yuki had become comsumed by the spirit but had enough control to think and question, true she had everyone back but wondered if they remembered her. She shakes the thought and continues on still she meets her destination, the forbidden clearing,"Is this the place you want me to go?" Yuki talks to the spirit in her mind and his voice comes.
"This is the place your father wanted to meet when you were ready, here is where you can summon Cyrus's hidden book of the cresent." she pauses in question,"Book of the Cresent?....whats that another diary?...." "Yes, but in the book lay all you must know to conjure the family spells and find your father in the other side. There he will see your image and prove your worthy self to him." Yuki pauses short and thought only a second till a smile comes to her,"My father you say?....how intresting."

Back in my room, I wonder about everything that just went on. From Sara, to Yuki, to Hitomi. Something did not feel right. I could not put my finger on it though. I sigh and toss and turn in my bed.

" Oh how a tangled web we weave through lies and distortions of truth.Oh how I long for the days that were true and just but no more.Alas,no more! Until the time of blood roses comes once again. There will continue to be more blood shed." Mirage had been watching all of this play out over the years and shook her head in disapointment. She had continued to watch but by her side was the spirit of Scarlet. Her face held graveness to it. She continued to pace back and forth and finally stopped and asked the question that she had been wanting to ask. " Why can't I just take over Eve like I'm suppose to right here and now? You know that I can take Sara down.You know that!Why can't I? I can't bare to see anymore death in my name.I will not tolerate watching peoples lives torn apart because of dreams that Sara has shattered.Please! No more! No more! I beg of you!" Scarlet at that point broke down and was on her knees crying. Mirage looked over her shoulder and quietly answered." Eve is not powerful enough for you yet. You body would break before your mind could even conprehend it. And on top of that, sometimes ther eare things that a person must go through in order to understand the true meaning of life and freedom.They will not learn that from you guarding them all the time. So the answer is no." Scarlet just broke down and wept bitterly on the floor.There was nothing that she could do at the moment.

Along time has passed, here it did anyway. It seemed like weeks had passed. Sara had been in my mind the whole time. As did the image of a restored Atlantis. But, along with it was the premonition I had. I get up and move to the mirror, brush out my hair, and get myself ready. The head hancho, a man I did not know personally, had given me enough rein to go out on certain days to do things for him. And myself. After what the Gods did, he was not exactly too happy, so I was chosen to go out and run missions. It was okay with me, since I got to get out of this place. I remember it like yesterday....
"Ah, Randell Azelus. What a pleasure it is to meet you!" the man had said, his face covered in a thick blue veil. His clothes were dark red, and his boots blue. His color scheme sucked, if he was trying for one. "What would you say to helping me out? See, what the Gods did, taking you from here, well, it goes against the rules. How would you like to be outside? On errands for me, of course, but outside nevertheless?" I agreed, it was better than being stuck in here. And since I had a new weapon, I was eager to test it out against some of Sara's men. "Well good! I want you to spy on Sara for me. She is getting close to being in here, and we do not need to have people in here, out there. It creates more problems than you could imagine. One or two every so often is not bad, but all the time? No way, Jose." He laughs at his cliché and he turns to grab some papers. He signs his name, and then he hands them to me, and a purple pen that seemed not to write. "Here, you sign this in blood, and you can go out. You do anything stupid, and your a dead man." I p***k my finger and sign it. He smiled. "GOOD!" He sat behind his desk and I left.
Now, I did not always get to go out. No, most times I was sitting in front of a bowl of water interacting with the outside as a ghost. Served well against Sara, since she often found me, and could not stop me or the weird magic that allowed me to do it. Then, once I was out. I had found out that three days pass for every one spent in the Unholy Lands that day.I had gone out to stalk Gaband. It was easy, stick on an airship. He spent his whole life on the Endeavor. So I stuck to it. Of course, he eventually recognized me, and a fight broke out.
"Your spying on us, then, eh boy?" He spits out at me. I whirl and I throw my self into an attack position. My scarf raises itself into its own attack position. "Your a dead man, now you know that?" He pulls out a rather wicked wavy blade, and my scarf is around it. He tries to yank it back, but his blade goes no where. I kick out, and land a good one to his ribs. I turn and high tail it out of there. He gets back and starts to run after me, but I turn a corner and I am at the gates.
"Whew." Is all I can say.
Now, I have yet another spying time, but this time I get to be out for a while on my own.... I hurry off to the gates, and the man stands there. His name was Claes. He had been alive nearly three thousand years. "Ready?" He asks. I nod, and I step into a portal. I am suddenly in the midst of a battle. I bring down a man who tries to slice through me, and turn to see Sara slicing through people. This wasn't good. I duck as she notices me, and I hurry along the ground. Once out of the fighting, I run full out until I come to a cliff. I whirl to see Sara standing there, her face bright with anticipation. I put my own cocky smile on, and step off the cliff. She rushes to look for me, and I see her face as I break the foliage. My scarf instantly grabs hold of a branch, and I fall to the ground lightly.

The air grew colder and soon the sounds of the swamp was silenced, Yuki looks to the old oak in the center and listens to the spirit,"Yes, you shall see your father and he has given you a wonderous gift but before we proceed perhaps I should introduce myself personally." The wind blows wildly as a purple fire ignited right in front of her and she backs away, as soon as it came the flames diminished and a large ghostly black kitsune is in front of her, he had the same marking just as Yuki did making the two of them literally identical. "Where shall I start, I am the kitsune Daiki Kurai Kage, and I've been sent to be part of you as you desire to gain power.....thats where I came into your life and now are part of you...you may simply call me Kurai if you wish."
Yuki was staring in amazement, she was seeing the great shadow spirit from stories right in front of her,"Kurai, if what you say is true then what is it my father left me." he smiles wickidly "Just close your eyes and hold out your hands then open them again." Kurai goes to the tree digging up under the root and pulls a old moon pin tarnished by time and brings it into Yuki's hands. Once she opened her eyes she is engulfed in a black flame and cries out as it starts to burn into her skin, once it faded she collaspes to the ground blacking out.
Yuki awakes back in her room and stares dazed at the ceiling rubbing her head,"Thats odd....I swore I was in the swamp just now perhaps I walked back?" She turns her head and looks to Kurai in her wardrobe mirror,"You are back in the palace safe and sound, the fire was a little too powerful that you passed out so I brought you back undetected of course but as for your gift...take a look." Yuki gets up slowly and walks to the mirroe and he vanishes out of the mirror and next to her dresser, looking close she was shocked to see herself....she was younger. "My face!....its younger but how did it....what did you do Kurai?!" he smiles and chuckles slightly,"Its your fathers gift to you its not just your face but you entire self has grown younger by five years...so now your nineteen and you shall stay that way."
Her hands shook as she look at every part of her, he ws right Yuki's gift from her father was the gift of youth one of her darker desires. It was never seen from anyone else but Yuki always wanted to be young or so far stay young. She smile wickedly and laughs herself,"If this is what being dark is about them I shall keep this way....father I'm glad your proud of me now after all these years." This was all Kurai had plan for her, the more she felt the negative power the more she became consumed and less likely to go back to her original self.

" It looks like someone is full of vaity there your highness!" Eve spoke quietly while leaning up agenst a door frame.Yuki whirled around at the voice and snarled at Eve who just shrugged it off. "You know I'm right so why even try to hide it.Your big doggy over there is just telling you your true desires but would you want them by just taking them and not even caring who you hurt in the process?" Eve suddenly had a barrier up when Kurai went at her throut.He mearly slid off the barrier like a wet spit ball. She smiled darkly." Oh I begining to know bits and pieces of the story of Scarlet Knight.I'm not sure where I actually fit in the story but I know that I play a crucial role in it as does Yuki,Vertusk,and a few more that I'm not even going ot bother saying.So that being said,it will be hard to take soming out of the game that has alredy been playing it for a quight a while." Eve still had the barrier up but she was leaning agenst the door jam still.
