'It hurtssssssss!' Twilights replied, her imnd racing with fear and pain. The images and thoughts didn't even properly register in her mind. The man laughed a bit again and pulled another string. The dragon roared in pain again and tried to thrash around once more. The only thing that saved Ziven from the sudden movement was the fact that Twilight couldn't move at all, and the thrashing only came forth as twitching and shivering. "It's somewhat gratifying to..." The man began, but was stopped suddenly. Jerking back, he dropped the gem as a scythe suddenly came out of nowhere. It was spinning like a boomerang, and after a moment disappeared. The man looked around for a moment, he was no longer laughing. "Who the hell did that?"

Tears streaming down her face, with their minds open to each other, Ziven was not sure if she felt a portion of Twilight's pain or if it was purely empathetic, imagining how much it must hurt given the reaction, the scream she heard, but she too thrashed for a moment, still clinging to the young dragon, wanting to protect her. When the scythe came flying, she was confused also but there were few who used the scythe around these parts, all of which knew Reeve. Noticing he dropped the gem, she summoned the stone to her own hand, holding it gently in her fist. In case a scythe were to come flying again, she cast her barrier around herself and Twilight, giving them as much protection as she could for the moment. "Please Little One .. what may I do to help you?" she asked the dragon, not wanting to do anything against her will.

The man took a step foreward towards the barrier. One of his hands still seemed to be transparent, but within n instant the other hand turned into a claw. He attacked the shield viciously for a moment before he was forced to move back by another scythe attack... then another. Everytime th scyth disappeared it seemed to reappear right in the line of fire for the man once again. Twilight managed to calm down some, but still seemed to be in so much pain. 'Please... don't let him get to me... I... I want Reeve...' She said into Ziven's mind. Even her thoughts came broken and sad, despite how much she had calmed.

She clung to the dragon more. "I want Reeve too .. I do not like the man before us. Twilight .. if you want, I will take you from here."

The dragon did not reply for a moment. She looked saddly at the man who looked like Reevis and thought. 'Yes... please take me from here...' The thought came in slowly and saddly. The man heard this, however and suddenly charged at the shield. The scythe got him a couple of times, but he did not seem to notice. Suddenly he rammed into the shield and began to attack it like a berzerker. "I will find you and I will kill you both!" He yelled at them, his voice no even sounding like Reevis' any longer. With every attack he released small amounts of energy in order to weaken the shield; he hoped he could get to them before they were gone.

Ziven winced upon the initial impact from the blows. Fortunately for herself and Twilight, they disappeared with a soft crack before Reeve's attack on the barrier could break it and he would be able to strike them. They would be safe .. for now.

The man hit the ground, creating a rather large impact crater. The moment he realized he had not killed killed them he bellowed in rage and began to slam his fists into the ground more. The whisper got louder and louder until finally a single thought got through. You lose. This only made his rage worse. With a black flash he was gone.

Felixwalked aong the cliffside, holding the egg in his arms, what was he to do with it? he could feel a tiny essence of life clinging to the being inside,
"i guess now is better than never" he stated, and he laid the egg on the ground away from the cliffside, he rubbed the smooth shell, and after a few minutes the egg was completely alive again, so to speak, the egg would need a little longer before hatching, felix knew that he would kill it if he tried to hatch it now.

The dragon flew back to the cliff, landing there with her head held high. This plan would either work or it wouldn't... but she would be ready for it either way. Now it was just a waiting game...

The man appeared out of nowhere right behind the dragon, blade in hand. The first time he had done this he was being almost kind... but this time was different. With a single slash the blade seemed to scream, ripping open a large gash on the dragon's back. She went to roar in pain, but then something collided with her mind that sent all her senses reeling. The roar cam out no better then a whimper as she hit the ground; not dead, but not very well off. "Told you I would get you." The man said from behind his mask with a laugh. Without hesitation he reached into the open wound and began to feel around, looking for the small gem once again. This will all be over quickly, he told himself.

He began to whistle underneath the mask, almost as if he was enjoying himself. Finally he found what he was looking for. Pulling out his hand he looked at the small-bloodied gem. For some reason it did not have the luster it should have, and the life-strings weren't attacked to it. Come to think of it... the color was all... Suddenly the gem stuck onto his and, digging through the metals of the gauntlet and into the skin. The man jumped off the dragon and onto the ground as if in shock. Desperately he tried to grab onto the gem, but never was he able to get a good enough hold on it. Soon it was burried deep within his arm and moving deeper. Slowly it sucked away the feeling of power he had... "Stop it!" he yelled as the armor began to fade away. He seemed almost desperate to get this thing out of his arm...

Despite all his best efforts, the thing continued to move within his body. Fear swept over him, a fear that never would have been there if he were really Reevis. Soon it was in his chest, and the man began to dig into freashly healed wounds to get to the thing; but to no avail. After a few short minutes the gem got to the center of his cheast and stopped. He could feel more things moving in his body now, probably coming from the gem. He cursed whoever had thought of such a plan, and then his arms fell limp. The mask his his terror from the world as he tried to get up, but soon found that his legs would not listen to him. The strange feelings had moved their way to his back... Breathing became a little difficult as the man just laid there, stunned and afraid of what was happening.

As soon as the process was done Vice appeared over the man. He looked at it with both anger and amusement. This was not his style of getting things done, but it was his son's wishes. Everything had gone almost completely along with the plan; the only thing different was the used of the dragon instead of the boy. Oh well, no one was perfect. Bending down he picked up the man, who probably could not even speak any longer, and disappeared.
The boy appeared along with Vice, but went instantly to Twilight. She was hurt... badly. Touching the wound gently a rune appeared on his hand. After a moment the gash began to close... but it didn't close all the way. He was not very good at healing... "What do I do?" He asked the dragon, who did not respond.

With a small pop, Ziven appeared near the cliff side. Blind with grief, thinking about what she had discovered tonight. There was so much she had to say to him and now .. now it was too late. What a fool she was for not having taken the time to do so when she had all the time she needed, never thinking that time might end forever. Tears streaming down her face, she stared over the cliff edge, watching the water below. She remained like this, unmoving, barely even blinking as her mind kept switching between analyzing everything and thinking of nothing. Over drive, or nothing at all right now. Anything to dull the pain. After a while, she realized that she was no longer alone. "Please leave."
It took hours, but she finally found Ziven. Slowly she approached, still giving her space but determined not to let her remain alone. "Never, Little One. I will wait, right here, for you to be ready." she said softly, taking a seat in the grass near her.

Hearing her words, caused her mind to switch gears. Unbelievable sorrow for so many things, most of which guilt for not being there for Reeve, wondering why he hadn't been there more for her also. Sinking to the ground, she buried her face in her hands, sobbing. Being in such .. hysterics, her clothes and the grass around her began to move slowly, gaining momentum as she cried.
She knew that finally Ziven had broken for the moment. After she fell to the ground, Feldspar stood and slowly moved nearer to her. she knelt behind her, gently placing her arms around her shoulders, holding her gently. "I am with you, Little One. You are not alone."
"I promised .. I promised .. I did not .. I promised .. such .. failure .. " she stammered between sobs, not really knowing what was on her mind. She did not move, afraid of hurting Feldspar if she were to accidentally do something.
