[[ Let's try this again, Shall we? D< ]]
The scene was grim. Eliza very much did not want to leave a sobbing Scarlet, mourning over the death of her fiancee. Solemn eyes watched the scene, as the sound of sirens over head were getting louder, as there was something of chaos happening behind the doors of the news of the Captain's appearance.
'Injured,' The thought crossed the halflings mind, having felt the faltering presense of Wolfgang. Cursing suddenly, the woman turned around suddenly realizing she has waited enough. However, Eliza paused her steps, and turned half-ways back around facing Scotts, realizing her command made others sparse except the few that stood, Scotts being one, " I don't know you well, Neither do I like you at this moment, However, Scotts I will leave the Lady Scarlet in your care." She didn't like it, but she was going too.
Eliza needed to check in with Vincent, his presence a dull thrum in her head. Quickly, the half-angel left Scarlet in Scotts' care, her speed gaining as she ran pass the odd other, to where she sense his prescence at. " Wolfgang!" The half-ling called out seeing the battered Vincent. Cursing, Eliza bumped someone out of the way, as her wings made a appearance.

I pull myself up, seeing Eliza, I put myself in a sitting position. "Ugh, is Scarlet... Is she okay?" I nod once, then fall backwards. I needed to rest and get my strength to heal. "Did she, she learn of Drako?" I pant as I look up at her. She hadn't yet made it completely here. "I just need to know, is she.... is-she all right?"

The mention of Scarlet, Eliza bit her bottom lip. The answer to that was a rather no. Yet she refrained from answering him right away. Hearing his next question the halfling almost stumbled, but caught herself as she made it to his side. The truth? About Drako and Scarlet? " I'll tell you, but you're going to need to sit still, understand?" Vincent going off to see Scarlet, in the state he is now, wouldn't work. Gathering her holy energy in her hands, the others that fretted slightly about the wounded captain stepped back. Her skin seem to have a slight glow to it, as she glanced at the wounds he received, paying more attention and more energy to the more critical areas first. It be quicker to use her own magic, then a spell. She wanted to make sure nothing was skipped over, and it was more powerful for her.
" Scarlet- . .Scarlet is not physically hurt, However - the news about the Lord of Chaos death has more then just reach her, literally."

I look around, testing each body part. Receiving a bit of strength, I call for Sinbane. Shattered pieces come from nowhere, the Holy in me starts to mend the sword. I look at the sheening blade. "I am glad you healed me, it might have taken days to get my strength back to do what I did, let alone heal my entire self. I was hoping I could talk to you before I do Scarlet..."

The glow in her left hand started to fade, as it fell to her side seeing that her task was nearly finished. Eliza paid little attention to Sinbane reforming itself as she closed her eyes, making sure that everything was healed - otherwords rechecking her work. The halfling was concentrating, Vincent's words not falling to deaf ears, but seem a little far away. " I couldn't very well leave you there, Right, Wolfgang?" Her eyes opened as the light around her right hand started to dim. " What is it?" He was fine now as she started to pull her hand away.

I look at her, Wolfgang? "Its Vincent, otherwise, no Wolfgang, I do not want to be confused for my half-brother. Please." I then look around. I grab her retreating hand and pull her into the nearest room. It is small, a broom closet. I stand about two feet away, against the wall. "Sorry, bit nonconfidential out there." I hug her very tightly, my wings gathering themselves around her back. I let go after a moment. "Thank, thank you, thank you. I am very happy indeed that you did not just come and say: 'oh its just him.' I was just worried that, after me leaving so quickly, you would not have forgotten me." I blush slightly, then look at her more serious like. "With Drako gone, it is now up to you to help us. If indeed Fate was right, and a more serious and dangerous enemy is coming, then you will be of even more greater a value. I also want to say, you must lead a lot of people if both Scarlet and Drako are incapacitated, one being dead, and the other being in mourning. I also have to say that, if things are to work like the prophecies say, you may have to rethink my earlier question, but thats for another day. Am I clear, you have your own responsibilities as well as ours now?"

Hearing his request, Eliza nodded slightly, only to have her hand caught, and being quickly pulled into the nearest room. Making a sound between something of a squeak, and a indignant 'Hey', the next thing she knew she was in what seem to be a broom closet, the word nonconfidential, and then in Vincent's arms. Her own wings infolding as his closed in, only for them to disappear. Blinking, there was a moment, where the halfling was bewildered, as she looked up at him. " You're. . welcome?" Even her voice sounded a bit unsure, before she became a little indignant at him, with his thought that she would possibly just go, ' Huh. Just Vincent. Oh well.'
Seeing the more serious look over-come Vincent. Hearing him speak about Drako, and her leading her own army, Eliza took a step back giving herself a little more space. Not that the broom closet was very spacey to begin with. " I understand, but to lead my own army? I was just sworn in, Vincent."

"I know, but obvious circumstances require it." I look her up and down, and another hugging spell comes over me. I hug her much more tightly, and even longer. I then pull her to arms length. "There is one more thing. When I nearly died, I had to think of something. I have to take as many chances with you as I can, meaning, I have to at least try to be with you every once in a while, til you say yes that is, because, well, I would never forgive myself if I didn't. I know, I should never be talking about myself when we now have a widow, but, I can't help but think of it right now..." I turn away, I felt somewhat ashamed...

" I know this yet-" However she didn't get to finished as she was pulled into another hug. This. . this wasn't another thankyou, was it? Yet she was pulled in alot tighter, enough that she was pratically almost squished against him. " Vincent, I-" Yet again she was cut off, and then pratically was left speechless. Vincent Wolfgang. . really, seem to have that effect on her, the whole bewildering thing. " I don't understand why -me-, and why even these thoughts for me-" In which she really didnt but this time she cut herself off as she saw him turn around and his words.
With a soft sigh, dropping the subject for the moment as Eliza reached out, tapping the back of his shoulder, " Vincent, I think this whole thing has everyone shook up. Don't start to kick yourself for it, got that?"

I turn. "Because, well, you are." I cough, then look into her eyes. "I see you as the most beautiful thing on this Earth, because you are so innocent compared to what I have done. You seem, so well, like you could go on without knowing of what has happened. I also think that you, well, have more then what it takes to understand my more inner workings. I also believe that you could also be more, well, lovable then any other person in this world." I stop, realizing the corniness of it all. I always did hate first time love things, well, first time for a certain person, you get the point. I pull her in for yet another hug, this time, I peck her on the forehead, and don't let go... I feel a wet tear roll down my cheek, and then close my eyes tighter...

I looked at the at the screens floating infrtonf of us, Scarlet mourning my body as Scotts tried to console her, Vincent and Eliza, "Vincent, you have to do it now." I whispered under my breath, Father Time had 'granted' me the body I had right before becoming a vampire, along with all of my old gear and powers. "So, Time, you know everything?" He nodded, a slight warning twinkle in his eyes at just being called time. "This is true young lad. From this realm which only I have access too I can skip to any time from the beggining...to end." I smiled, "So, you know how time ends, I would suppose you can't reveal this information?" He smiled back, his wrinkled creased face crinkling up, "Oh no, I could tell you. But your very essence would be destroyed even thinking about it." I laughed softly, "Well, I suppose I don't have to know it then. But, could you atleast tell me why I am here? Why it required my death to learn this?" He smiled, "You will find out, when you get to it." I woke up several hours, minutes...days? It would be impossible to tell with that man. I was in a landscape filled with snow, I was still in my human form from before, it was cold, very very cold. I trudged through, I had to find someplace to keep warmth.
(Where I am, it's still outside spacetime, so no chance of finding out im still alive....kinda)

Scarlet was mourning her lover but there was nothing that she could do.When Scotts tryed to confort her she just grew bitter and shoved his hand away.After a few moments of more,Scarlet took off her cloak and laid on the corpse and then picked it up and walked into a portal to a broken down cemetery.She walked past a few tomestones and stoped in front of another one. THe name Helena Wolfgang Rose was on it.Scarlet choked on a sob and left the body nest to the grave.A few demons were waiting and bowed low to Scarlet as she left.They began to dig a hole.The cloak was one of the things that Scarlet truly loved even though is was also part of her misery.She left it to Drako.Where ever he might be.

I shivered from the cold, the cave was dark and dank, and had already contained a fire, no doubt what lived in here would be back soon. Suddenly I heared a roar and ran from the cave, only to bump into someone I never thought I would see again, "Master?!" It was the old Grand Alchemist from when I was a student, I made my bow still wide-eyed, his old weathered face crinkled much like Father Time's as he smiled, "Hello lad, I have been brough...to teach you." Suddenly invisible bons bound me, I was trapped, I yelped in pain as magic knotted one of my muscles. His face grew hard, "What is the Summoner's Creed? What laws have you been sworn to obey!" More muscles where knotted, "Ahhhh! I will protect the innocent. My magic will bring life and peace to the world. It will never be used for unneeded violence. I am an instrument of peace and justice." He hit me across the face, hard, "You have broken our Creed! You have used magic for sensless violence and torture!" I shook my head, the sweat freezing on my body, "No master! I was not myself! Aarggh!" More knots, my body was on fire, my muscles where about to be ripped out! "There are no excuses!" I panted with heat even though it was snowing, "I beg your forgivness....and your penance. Bring onto me all the pain I caused to innocents!" The bonds where lost, but I didn't feel them, I felt all the pain I had brought onto all of the innocent I had killed in my amnesiatic killing spree. Hours later, when I had died a thousand deaths, my master was gone. I stood up and continued blundering through the snow.

But he didn't even know her. Confusion flickered in her eyes, as she looked back up at him, amethyst catching red. Eliza really felt like she was missing something. Yet it didn't stop the half-angel from blushing slightly, even if she knew he was wrong. Eliza didn't want to shake her head, but she pulled back some, her hand falling to her side. She wasn't innocent, no, she certainly was not innocent.
Being pulled into another hug, it was different this time. Feeling the kiss on her forehead, Eliza try to look up but just gaved up and allowed him to hug her again, letting herself fit into him. It was with slight surprise that she felt the lone tear drip onto her cheek, in which she reached up touching the droplet.
With a soft sigh, Eliza hugged him back, being careful with his wings. Just for a minute or two, a sense comfort, before she moved her arms and laid both of her hands against his chest. She was still looking down, or rather at her hands, before speaking, " Vincent, I think. . you have a bit of a wrong view about me. I'm not that innocent," She started off, her voice quiet, but solid.
Shaking her head suddenly, her hands gripped at his shirt slightly, before letting go, " We can't do this now. . shouldn't be, we should be getting back to Scarlet."

It had been at leasta week and Scarlet was showing no mercy.Her troops were being pushed to the limits but they were strong.They knew that something had happned and when Scarlet finaly appeared before her plane,the world went into an uproar of approvels and The blood rose is back!Scarlet couldn't help but to smile but her heart wtill mourned Drako! "I so wish that he could see this and be by my side through it all." Then an imp came scuring up to the throne as fast as his legs could move and yanked on Scarlet's coat.She looked down at him and saw an official seal on the envalope. The imp was hopping up and down trying to get the mesage out fast enough. "We have news that we believe will help you in mourning.OUCH!I was only trying to help!Kaie and Axel the 2end were trying to bring someone back form an alternate future but is now wipe off the face of the earth complety!Some of out sources beleive that Drako was the key." Scarlet had set the imp on fire but put it out when he broke the news.
