Yensen shook his head. He was going to finish this his way. Silently, he crept away, making sure not to make a sound. When he though he was a good enough range away, about a good half mile, he stopped a little past the edge of the clearing, where the tree line started back up. He called upon an old weapon. One from his apprentice. He materialized Sei-ei, a silent sniper with some serious stopping power. He laid down, and focused his energies. Slowly, a bunker of earth grew over him, seamlessly blending in with the environment. There, he laid in wait for Fenrir. He decided to use a silver bullet, just to make sure after getting shot in the head he couldn't regenerate it. He stayed cloaked, even expanding the field of the cloak so the gun wasn't seen either. He didn't give a smell either as a robot. His only hope was that he didn't miss, and Fenrir went down with the first shot.

Still Invisible. I'm basically underground. I don't smell. I can't possibly miss with the robot super sight. And my weapon is silenced. This plan is fool proof.

Raphael sighed, as he appeared next to Elizabeth. Perhaps she would be surprised that he was now a ghost... but, regardless, what's done was done. ''Hello Elizabeth. It's been a long time, hasn't it? You haven't seen me since.... I was alive.'' He said, with a frown, looking around, noticing the boy who tried to shoot him earlier. He ignored him, however. He doubted he would act hostile towards him.

He shook his head, ''Fenrir killed me. But I'm not going to get in another argument involving that. I simply came by to say hello to my old friend. I'm sorry that I stopped coming to see you when I became King. And I'm sorry I had to die before we could be friends again. I was tricked, by a vampire. I've told many that I always hated vampires... and this is the reason. I miss Kusana... you know, this was my home for a while. And since no where else will take me... not the spire, Cherry hates me... Not Nocturne, Cherry ratted me out... not Aramil, Fenrir is the cause of its destruction. And definitely not Fronta.... I abandoned it, and let it die. The only other place than here would be Yuran... but I have never been there. Or the Castle in the Sky... but no thanks on that.'' He said, with a sigh. ''Anyways... I'm simply telling you this... never trust anyone from Nocturne. They are all traitorous bastards. They live in the dark Kingdom for a reason. It is as black as their hearts.'' He said, exhaling deeply. ''I'm sorry... I don't want to start this again...''

He smiled, as he looked up at Yensen, and then back at her, ''As long as it involves killing a few soldiers of Nocturne in the end, I'm happy. By the way... why is Yensen in such a position? Is he on lookout or what?''

((Yensen is invisible. He's a Half mile away. He's covered by a mound of earth. There is no possible way at this point you could ever hope of spotting me.))

He frowned... ''Cherry alone... she is an expert mage... but...'' He said, looking up at the sky, ''Her right hand, Malfatto Aunezia... soon to be an Expert Blade Master.... If you run into him, please don't hurt him. He may be an ally of Cherry, but he is moreso an ally of me. He would be your only problem in the Spire aside from Cherry, so really, the people around her will matter not. They're all trainees or novices. However, on terms of skill and strength involving the two -- Cherry would definitely oust Malfatto. She is your only real problem. However....'' He said, looking back up at Yensen, and Kora, and then back to the girl. He then moved up to her, and whispered in her ear. ''We shouldn't talk about Cherry right now. Yensen and Kora are friends of hers. I used to be a friend of hers too, but she is so blind. I want for her to die before her demon is extracted. I want for her to suffer like I have. The way Fenrir killed me... he plunged his blade through my heart, and then allowed his vampires to rip off my neck. I want that to be the way Cherry dies... and then maybe she'll understand, in her last second of life -- what she has done.'' He then moved away from the girl, and said, ''During the battle with Fenrir, I will not be able to help. At all. However, my speed is comparable with Hermes', if not faster. So, I can help reveal the enemies position, as well as....'' He said, and frowned, making a dark expression, ''I am good to take one blow for you guys. My body is weak. One powerful blow will be enough to destroy me. However, I am willing to do it, if it means the death of Fenrir. I will take the blow that would otherwise kill any of you. He must die. He. Must. Die.'' He said, as he sat down. ''If my ethereal body is destroyed by one of Fenrir's attacks, I will send a fragment of my soul into Malfatto. If you ever meet a man named Caesar, that will be the result of he and I. I plan to die today, Elizabeth. Truly die. Being a ghost is full of agony.... I can't stand it. I have to die, but I'm taking Fenrir with me!'' Raphael said, as he couldn't wait for what would happen. He wanted to kill him... he wanted to kill him... He wanted... To kill. Him.

[Wups... regardless, Raphael could go through the whole area in like a second... but um, sorry? lol. I didn't read all of the posts thoroughly.]

Raphael smiled, though he began to cry. He hated what had become of him. What he was now.... it was horrid. He couldn't even give Elizabeth a hug, to comfort himself and her. All he could do was speak. His voice was weak, due to him crying, but nonetheless, he spoke, ''Thank you Elizabeth... you've been great to me. But now... it's time for my end. I will see you again some day. Hopefully, that time, I'll be of use to you... and not just... a weak old man. I'm sorry....'' He slowly said, as his tears intensified. Ever since he died, he'd been crying alot. Every night in the hallways, everywhere he went, he was consumed with regret. All he could do was cry. He was so useless... and that's why he wanted to die. So that he could help Mal-, no, Caesar become someone. ''You'll see me when you decide to do it. To destroy the reason for all of my agony. If I never allied with her, I would have never died. You will see me as a better man... and I will... help you.'' He said, with a smile, ''Yes. I'll help you avenge my own death. That's my new purpose,'' He said, as the tears slowly stopped. It was something he could work for. He would be happy to do so.
