When she asked her question it simply shook its head. -I have asked Vice not to build me a real body. Though it would be better than this body, Vice would also aks me to fight for him... and fighting is something I no longer wish to do.- Her reply made him laugh to himself as he suddenly hopped off of her and spun around. It wrote quickly, turning the parchment back to her after a few moments. -His dreams are his memories, so this would be a time for you to learn something about him... besides, he has already given me full access to his mind; so I am sure he will not mind if I share some of his knowledge with you.-

"If you believe it is acceptable .. I will accept. I do enjoy learning more about others, especially those whom I do not understand." she said softly, bobbing her head, looking to him with curiosity.

He walks towards the edge of the cliff standing there he gazed at the horizon lost in thought with a sigh he admires the dusk.

The puppet once again jumped onto her lap, but this time he reached up and gently touched her forehead. Almost instantly both of them were standing on the rafters of a building, in front of them was a young man with red hair. Under them there was a wedding going on. It was towards the end of the wedding and there were many people below all smiling happily. The puppet was standing next to her and gently tugged at her clothes. "Before you stands Drake... you know him better as Vice. Below is the wedding of the first person who cared for him... if you look there;" he pointed to the second row. A man in white robes with light blue hair was sitting next to another man with short red hair in plain clothing. "The one in the robes is me, the other is Durza." Because they were in a dream, the puppet had a voice. It was filled with warmth and seemed to be very young.

She smiled, seeing the joy of a wedding for the first time. Having read about weddings many times, she was able to recognize what was happening, it was more grand than she had imagined. All the happiness that could be seen on the faces of everyone there was amazing. She nodded her head, observing the two he pointed out and admired the sound of his voice. Settling herself where they were, she continued to watch, feeling rather excited to see what more would happen.

Soon the two that were being married kissed and everyone began to clap. The woman turned and looked up to Drake, who simply nodded before disappearing. The woman looked sad for a moment, then everything went black. A moment later they were in a room. Drake was standing next to a bed next to a screaming woman; the same who was getting married just moment before. There was a girl at the foot of the bed, trying to say something over the screams. "The birth of his first underling..." The puppet said. Despite the fact the the woman was obviously giving birth, the one that she was being married to before was nowhere in the room.

She nodded at his comments, observing everything astutely. She realized there was a lot more to be known about their lives, but decided not to ask, instead letting the story unfold before her. She looked almost uncomfortable for a moment, she was feeling great empathy for them all.

When the child was born, Drake walked over to the girl and gently picked the babe up. He smiled and nodded his head. "A girl. What are you going to name her?" After few moment the woman held out her arms to accept the babe and spoke. "Joy." She said with a smile. Drake smiled back to her in return and nodded his head again. His smile was happy, yet very sad at the same time.
After a moment they all disappeared, but the room stayed the same. Suddenly the woman wan into the room from the door, heavy sobs coming from her. The child was in the crib, the sobs waking her from her sleep. For a few moment the two simply cried together, then Drake walked from the shadows and gently picked up Joy. He did not go to the woman, but he did not seem happy.

"Oh goodness.." she said softly, noting the good and bad of this. There was such great joy and sorrow in their life. How could they tolerate it. Looking upon them with great sympathy, again she wanted to know more, she wanted to know everything, she wanted to help .. but wait .. this was a dream .. this was a memory .. she reminded herself of this and all the tension that had been building, if anything, looking slightly disappointed.

After a moment, the woman finally spoke. "Take her away from here, dear friend... I do not wish him to have her any longer." Drake took a step closer, opening his mouth to speak. Suddenly she was standing in front of him, a knife to his throat and a hand gently touching the babe. "Just go." Drake paused for a moment, then turned with the baby in his hands and walked into the shadows. Once again everything went dark, and the puppet used this chance to explain some things. "Just now, you saw how Vice actually obtained the child. The woman's husband mated with another in the very room which the child was sleeping in... and he did it without regrets." The puppets voice seemed sad despite the warmth it gave off. "I think I know why my brother doesn't like to sleep, if he has to relive his life everytime he closes his eyes." Though he spoke for awhile, the darkness never left. Although it was to dark to see, the sound of movement could be heard along with small growls coming from an unknown source.

She nodded, showing she understood. So much bittersweet emotion in everything she was experiencing just now, the dreams, his voice .. she was moved by this. When nothing came in to view but she could hear noises, she felt nervous but again reminded herself that this was not a reality. "What has happened?" she asked uncertainly, not sure if she missed something.

"Training." The puppet said simply. "This is the world where he trains his children how to fight... and where he used to teach them compassion. It is a place where the creatures here kill one another for food and nothing more; he thought it the perfect place to teach his underlings the meaning of kill or be killed." The puppet seemed almost cheerful when he said this, but quickly realized she would not understand why. "Worry not, none he has brought here have ever actually died. He saves them before any kind of killing blow is struck." It reached out and gently touched her again. She obviously could not see what was happening, so it thought she could use a little help. Almost instantly everything went from being pitch black to only dim. Before them a little blue haired girl was sitting down in front of a dead beast that was many times her size. She held her hands out over the corpse to warm herself with the small amount of body heat it had left. She was smiling pleasently and seemed to simply be waiting.

She did not feel comforted despite knowing she was not alone and that he cared about her opinion. She bobbed her head, ready to know what more was coming. She felt pleased also that the young one had a victory over such a large creature but said nothing of this.

Before their eyes the girl seemed to grow rapidly; moving from a child to a young adult within a few minutes. It was then that Drake appeared beside her, a smile on his face. She quickly jumped up and hugged him with a large smile. They conversed for a moment, but their words were too quiet to hear. At one point Joy asked something that wiped the smile from Drake's face. He replied to her, and the moment she head the reply she fell to the floor in tears. "...And this is the final day of training... it is also the day that Vice told his neice that her mother had died. Sad day for both of them." The puppet said as the scene changed again. Once again they were at a wedding, but this time the woman in the wedding gown was Joy. There were also fewer people there. Drake sat in a chair behind his neice with a half-hearted smile upon his face. "Another sad day..." The puppet muttered as it shook its head.

She looked from the memory to the puppet, tilting her head slightly, looking saddened herself. ".. goodness .." she said softly, watching more.
