Welcome to Gaia! ::

Fang grasped his hand and shook it and said ''Don't mention it and the names Jeremiah Silver-Fang and it's nice meet ya'' Said Fang with a smile as he looked around at the others and thought to himself in his mind ''Man this has been weird day'' Said Fang in his mind, ''This ain't my land bub but you see your Queen wants to take over this place or something and you guys restore order....hmmmmm hey I got a idea i'll join you guys, besides i've been craving some adventure and I wanna find who killed my friends'' Said Fang as his smile turned into a frown

Fang looked at Draco as saddness and anger begun to rise up within him as he begun to cry anger tears and dropped to his knees and punched the ground and and said ''I can't believe thier gone, just like with my old master'' Said Fang as his tears fell to the ground

Drako continued to look on while resting on his scythe. He noticed that Fang was looking at his leg that was bleeding a sickly,glowing green liquid. He shrugged his shoulders in reply. He limped over to where Hitomi was and whispered in her ear. Her expression turned from one of annoyance to one of terrified shock. She quickly grabbed what every she could to try to stop the bleeding.

Drako cringed as the rags bit into his leg. Using his scythe to help him walk, he started to move to toward the opening in the in the park but something caught his eye and he gasped.Backpeddleing, he tripped and fell. His weapon of choice flew out of his hand and landed in the nearby brush. He despretly tried to claw his way from what he was seeing but he couldn't escape it.
A pure fiery form of Scarlet had appeared before all of them. Hitomi had no idea why, but she felt a strong urge to kneel before this spirit and before she knew it, she was on one knee with her hand over her heart. The rest of group were in the same position.
" Your not my Scarlet! She died! Your just a mirage! A dream! Leave me alone!" Drako screamed as he tried to get away.
"Drako! For once in your life, stop running away from your problems! Remember the last time you did that in the tavern fight you started?" The fiery form snapped in an echoing voice.
"H..h..how do I know it's really you?" Drako whispered and sucked in his breath as the spirit came close to him. She touched his face and he suddenly felt the feeling that he had missed all those years.
"Scarlet!" He breathed as he closed his eyes and tried to remember her touch forever. There were a few gasps as the ends of Drako's hair caught on fire but he didn't even notice as they continued to burn without his hair being singed at all.
"Drako, listen to me! I can't hold Yuki's power back much longer. She is just as strong as I am if not more powerful. The only that can beat her is finally waking up out of the quiet slumber that her mind has been put into. Drako! It's not Eve that will take up my position nor is it Violet. Drako, its non other than....." The fire goddess quickly appeared before Hitomi and had her stand up. "Hitomi! You will win this battle with Eve by your side. You are to take up my cross and forever more keep this world in peace."

Scarlet sighed and looked over at Drako. " You didn't tell her why you were training her in the first place did you."
"No!You told me not to and that she could get hurt if she knew."
"I told you to tell her when the time was right. Drako? What am I going to do with you?"
"Love me,feed me, and never beat me?" He replied jokingly.
"Drako Rose! That's not what I meant!" She snapped but then looked over to Hitomi.
"Why is it that men don't get it! Anyway, Hitomi, I've come to love this place. This is Earth. I grew up on the run from the Netherworld! My father was a tyrant and Drako helped me dethrone him. In between that time though, I grew up here. This is my home! I've come to love this planet and I will do anything to protect it. Hitomi, your time has come to step up to take my place. You are stronger than any one of us because of your true heart. The cross that you will bare though is only one that you can bare. You have great power and with that always comes a price. You can just ask Drako when he decides comes to." Scarlet pointed at him only to see that he had passed out from sheer joy at seeing her again.

Seeing that Hitomi would wait in good time for the excitement to get out of his system since it was an overwhelming thing to have experience seeing someone he loved dearly right in his face once again, so it was alot to be feeling. Scarlet's words made more sense with slight security but a strange feeling of some fright that would come to reveal itself later on. With that said and etched in mind Hitomi simply gives a nod turning to see that Fang had a slight look of confusion in his expression, and would give a good explination to him later on how things were playing out since she had an idea that he was clueless to all the rulers that were amongs the universe that earth would not even know even existed. Realixing that an explination was in order later in time Hitomi tried to make sense of what was going on and decided to accept on what was Scarlet was saying was true fact since from stories Hitomi had heared before of Scarlet loving another place besides her own, and making it a safe place to be for when things had become troublesome.
"This is alot to put in my mind for now but I'll learn to make sense of each and every word with some time, for now anything I have in my mind for question will wait once my mentor.....eh.....finds reality and goes back to seeing it then I'll ask more on what was hidden and the real meaning on why he took me under his wing."
Hitomi had to give a slight smirk for once seeing how....into his experience he was watching him start to come to muttering.

A shorter version of the story was enough for Hitomi to understand and in a way wonder how it would feel to have to endure such a grim life, to live for all time and have to deal with it alone with noone else to be company, for Drako's case it was to live out with the one he loved with only the few memories he kept close to keep Scarlet alive in his mind, however it wasnt enough to fill the hole in his heart that was torn long ago.
"I know well of curses and everything in between yet the one you speak of is quite a heavy one to bear, true to live forever would be a luxury to some.....yet the price to pay of never dying and seeing the world around change with time while they remain the same with no sign of aging and.....never the deed to ask for death when you wish to have it fullfill it shall never come. Its awful to hear that this is happening to a guy who seems to be a good hearted person from looks of things and how he leads. I never wouldve known how much pain he was having to feel every day he breathes....I never wouldve known the truth that deep."
Hitomi could tell now she was trained not by a person who was just good at the skill trades but to be trained by a deity was almost an honor more privilege to even cross paths with a person like that, true Drako had a soft side towards Scarlet, and could be a little timid at time however it was normal and ment the relationships between the two was quite solid and every moment of it was worth each second giving a positive note as Hitomi watched her mentor's reactions and seeing a slight humorous side on how things happened between the two all those years.

Scarlet rolle her eyes and snapped her fingers. One of the group members brought her a small bottle of water and she proceeded to dump it on Drako.
He woke with a sputtering start.
" I had nothing to do with it this time! I swear!" He cried in terror as the group started to laugh at him. He turned bright red as he took in his surroundings.
"Oh.......That's just brilliant!" He scowled as Scarlet knelt down on one knee.
"Drako, I think it's high time to explain what is really going on otherwise everyone will be completely lost. Besides, you have some catching up to do with me. I've been gone for a long time." She answered quietly.
He nodded and they both started to try to fill in the blanks.
"There was a witch that I trained in my own magic and she used it against me to try to rule time. I am a personal friend of Father Time and that was not acceptable. I was suppose to take her out of existence but...."
"But Drako didn't do because he was too kind hearted to think of such a thing." Scarlet butted in quickly. " Things took a turn for the worst and she used her magic to merge all the universes together which has already proved disastrous."
"Do you mind Scarlet? I was talking first before you decided to take action." Drako muttered darkly." Anyway, before I was interrupted, I tried to stop Sara from gaining too much power but it was no use. Scarlet and I had to make the ultimate sacrifice.Scarlet.......she....sh" Drako couldn't finish as he started to break down. Scarlet continued for him.
" I had noticed that Sara was in pure jealousy of Drako's love for me and she tried to kill him in our final battle. I saw it and took the blade that was meant for him. Since then, I lost my mortal body but my soul was glued to another dimension where Sara still rules. She has been forcing me just like my father, to do her bidding. I had no choice but to finally finish what I had started. I am now free but sadly Drako..."
"I was cursed as soon as that blade touched my Scarlet. I didn't know it at first but then I started to realize that no matter what I did, I couldn't die. You have no idea how much it hurts to live without the one you love for eturinity and know that you were the one that caused it all." Drako choked back his tears.
