I look at her. "Because, I would like to show you something." I keep walking. The moonlight and shadows camouflaging me. "There is something that, well, if shown you should know what you are getting yourself into, and this is where, you shall see whom I truly am. The person that is behind my unruly demeanor. The one who is really wishing you could just let me in." I sigh. The shrine was just ahead, and already, I felt more excited.

It wasn't hard to take a step forward, and then another before she ended up following, somewhat behind him. " Ne, Vincent. . " Clasping both of her hands behind her, she caught up enough so now she was walking almost right beside him, she opened her mouth before closing it and simply shaking her head again.

I stop, and turn to her. My eyes were soft, my voice quiet. "Eliza, here we are, I must say, I am extremely happy you came. Let us rejoice." I then stare at her. What? I look at her hair, her eyes, everything that drew me to her. "This is what I wanted to show you." I turn to the rock door. I open it, and then, pure light engulfs me. I walk in, and when I see the white crystal, I breath a sigh. I sit on the floor near the small pond. Soon enough, I would be my true self... Was I ready to let her know?

Eliza blinked as she stopped as well, as she watch him turn to her. The angel noticed the change, as she tilted her head slightly. However she started to feel a little-self concious, as she reached up pushing away a loose strand of her blonde hair - as if that was the cause of his slight stare. Feeling her cheeks starting to heat up again, the angel swiftly turned her attention onto the rock door. Eliza felt like saying something, anything really, maybe another, ' Hey Vincent' but she refrained from it. He was being serious, and for some reason, she felt like she couldn't say much. Maybe the forest was affecting her already. Seeing the pure light, the Halfling took one last look at the moon, before following Vincent's footsteps.
" This is. . ." Her voice trailed off, brushing her fingers lightly against the wall, before catching sight of the pond.

I look down at the pond. "I was three, when I had my first run in with Fate. I was almost killed, by a man whom owned me as a slave. Eliza, that is the oldest memory I have, and it is a bad one." I look up at her. I then proceed to take hold of her hands. "Why, you ask, that I must be who I am and like you, and why I must be chosen for so many, what seem like, bad things? It is because, I have always wanted what is there, and what I want, is those who hold a candle to knowing who I truly am, and you, you do. There is also one more thing." I turn away, and when I turn back, my eyes are not red, but blue. "I am an evil person. I once wished to destroy the world so I may plunder in its riches. I killed many, and many I sent to their deaths, in front of their families. You are the one person whom I have not thought of stealing, or otherwise, killing. I have betrayed many. I have killed and plundered, and even..." I trail off. "Why I brought you here, it is for, this..." I get up, and then, my Tail and ears come back. My old Cutlass, and my old pistol. I look at her. "You are in the presence of King Pirate Vincent Noringer. I will have to now, I will have to now." I choke, could I say it? "You are now-" I look at her. "In the presence of the vilest man around, I have done everything under the sun. Theft, Murder, everything, beside truly appalling crimes. You are here, so I can do this." I walk to her, and with one hand, I hold her face. I look deep into her eyes, and with one low sigh, I hold my Cutlass, and then, I slit her hand. I quickly heal it, and walk to the pond.
"With this blade of blood. I pronounce you one of the crew." I slowly release the blade, and then it falls, into the water. I then hold my pistol out, aimed at Eliza, I shoot. I stop time, and then, I walk to her. We were unfrozen, but all of time in this shrine was frozen. "Eliza, you see, if you were to die, I would spiral out of control. You see, I thoroughly believe you are the Raven of the prophecy. I am the Healer, and you are the one." I kneel again, and my facade melts away. The bullet wisps into smoke. "Eliza, know this, when I die, the birth of evil will be done. When I die, this is no turning back, like Drako. The war will consume me, eventually. If it doesn't, then I want you to promise, that by no means, you will ask another for their heart." I then look at myself. Nothing I had said made sense.
"Forget all of that." I laugh, and then turn, my eyes red again. "This place is getting to me." I look out into the cavernous shrine. "But, I would like you to sit here by my side." I pat the spot next to me, without taking my eyes from the shrine. "Please?"
This whole post, I was listening to different FF7 music, that is why it is random, and that contributes to the shrines ability to make you insane, and do things you normally would never do.

"Drako!I think this is more than just a shrine to worship fire but an actule shrine for the neterworld."
Scarlet placed her hands over some anchent hirogliphs that were etched into the cavern wall.Scarlet murmmered the words softly to herself and to her astonishment,the water began to boil and what looked like a statue began to rise from the water.It was of a man in long robes with a tablet in one hand with the words written in latin."May the peace of darkness coexist in the world of light.
In the other hand,he held a torch that had flames licking from it.
"Wow! I wonder what that was suppose to signify.What do you think Drako?"
But before Drako could respond,the statue started to come to life.IT's eyes started glowing a pure red and it's voice sounded like sand paper on rock.
"Welcome my queen to the shrine of the dark one.You are more than welcome to this humble shrine at any time.We in this shrine are in your debt.Aks what might be done and it shall be compleat my queen."

I whistled quietly, "Well, that wasn't expected...so does this mean that cultists have been metting under my house this whole time?" I said in mock astonishment. I went rigid and stared off in a seemingly random direction. "Vincent just joined a very....very...elite order." I had met the Nothings before, afterall, nothing and chaos went hand in hand. I held my hands out infront of me, palms out, and swivling my right thumb I placed a prayer on Vincent, "Nie con sodûrn" Nothing honor you. Well it was usualy an insult, but under the circumstances it was a prayer of favorence.

I look up at her. "Please, what I just did, that is because this thing does that, and it is normal before one does finally get to one's true self. The Ancients called it the Hull etapp, or crazy phase. I am sorry." I look back towards the cave. I summon two balls of light, and releasing one on top of the water, and the other below it, I look around and suddenly, a large blast of light shakes the walls. In the center is a whirlwind of white and black vines. If one was to look deeply enough, one would see the actual beginning of Light. I walk on the water to it, and turning to Eliza, I motion her to come. I turn back to it. The white walls reflecting the light, I start walking to it again. Where it lead, only those who went there knew, and they kept their mouths shut. Only those of Light, or those who controlled light, like me, and Eliza, could go in. Angels of Holy had hard times getting in, and those who controlled Darkness as well. If you controlled no light, you would die getting in. As I am about in, I stop and look back at her. "Coming?"

Scarlet backed down a little as the statue came to life.
"Me?"She squeeked shocked."What do I have to do with any of this?"
The statue grew scilent for a little bit but spoke in riddle before it grew cold and lifeless.
"The rose's life shall end intwined but not before the night grows cold.Alas,one true's gold shall end this reign and bring anew a world light."

I turned slowly back towards the statue. And spoke, my voice low and dangerous, "Did that statuejust speak of your death?" My eyes glowed dangerously with a frosty white energy, "One true's gold.....anew a world light, what does that mean? A new light to the world..... I want this to end Scarlet, I want the danger to end...it will never end for us will it?" I sighed and leaned against one of the caverns walls, "It never ends..." I was so tired of all of this danger and excitment...I wanted to settle down and have a quiet life...as quiet as life could be ruling Purgetory. "The only that that keeps me going nowadays is seeing you Scarlet...atleast now you can see me too." The form I had uncconsciously assumed melted away, back to the outfit I had worn recently.

" Ha! The vilest man around, you say? As if, Wolfgang." Even after Vincent's antics, and even though her hand was cut, but healed after - The halfling wanted to. . wanted to what? Hurt him? Mock him, yet mocking him in the degree that it wasn't exactly mean. Eliza watched the light trick with dull interest. Even as he beckoned her to come with him, the halfling actually simply just snorted. Very unlady-like as others told her, yet she could really care less.
" So, let's see. You allowed hatred, from your past for this man, and greed consume you, equally sheeding innocent blood on your hands." Her approach was blunt, and rather if she was being a b***h or not, never crossed her mind. Both of her hands now set firmly on her hips, as she watched him and the display of light. " I'm sorry, but am I suppose to feel sorry for you?" She questioned, amethyst eyes burning with intensity. " For the past - for the greed that consume you, you becoming a pirate?"
Why was she being like this? " Who hasn't spilled innocent blood Wolfgang, do tell because you sound like it's just you to wallow in past actions. Willowing in one's misery effectively doesn't get anyone anywhere. No. What you get is a broken doll, still withering or already out of 'Fate's' grasp." Darkly, the halfling chuckled before shaking her head, her left hand no longer on her hip. Oh it wasn't funny, and it wasn't mean - it was the dark amusement one has that had pain to it.
" No. The vilest man around that has been in my presence has not been you, Wolfgang. It's funny to even think that you can take that position." With another slight snort, Eliza turned around, and walked to the spot where he slashed her hand. It was healed quickly afterwards, but there will always be evidence of blood left behind even if her hand was healed. Standing in the direct spot, the glittering white sword appeared - however the appearance was a little different. It wasn't the exact white pure sword it was.
Pointing the sword in his direction, Amethyst eyes still held the intensity in it. " I don't want you near me. I dont want you to even come close to the walls that I was force to build over the years. You might not have once felt the urge to kill me, or steal from me, but that by no means doesn't mean the same from me."
" I don't want to kill you, neither do I wish you ill will. However if you come any closer to my walls, still believing that I'm this 'Raven' - You're going to get cut rather its unintentionally, or intentional. I have a habit of screwing things up, or generally that back-fires to myself- I am warning yoou, Vincent Wolfgang, if you don't wnt to find yourself hurt - I suggest you leave my presence as well."
She smiled then, one filled with irony, " Of course though, that-" However,
Blinking suddenly, Eliza looked downed to her stained red sword, her legs going weak all of the sudden as she plopped onto the ground. " What am I. . sayin-. . I-" Looking down at her hands as snow fell to the side of her, her palms were pushed flatly at the ground while her mind was flashing with so many things.
Mainly of faces of both present and past. Dark scenes past her mind, along with her own-
Shaking her head suddenly, this place was doing more then screwing with her. Because what she remembered was that at first, she didn't know what to think. One moment he was bouncing on the subject about shedding light on his past, and the next he was esclaiming that he was a very vile man around. Then, he touched her face, slashed her palm, threw the dagger into the water esclaiming she was part of his crew now. Yet as he pulled out his pistol, the angel by no means made any moves to protect herself. Why? It was simple. He wouldn't physically hurt her, and she knew it.
Rather he knew it or not, the Halfling was trying to protect him from herself.

I just let my hands fall to my sides. I blink, and with an outstretched hand, I make a black and white portal. "I see then. I guess, I guess there is nothing for me here." I walk through it, the portal closing behind me. I look at Oblivion, the Realm of Nothing. Two Nothings, robes open and hoods down look at me as I come through. I sigh, and sit. Maybe it was true, I did have no reason. I cry then, not for what just happened, but because I was truly a Nothing. My future self comes, and he sighs. "She hates me, I try, and she threatens me. I am just, no reason, no reason to live." He puts his arm around me. When did he go back to the future, could I ask about it?
"Vincent, it is how things go, you have to understand." He says quietly. "She was not mad at you, but..." I sigh as he does. "Just give it time, okay?" His robe tails hitting the ground as he kneels. "Vincent, you have a reason to live, you have to protect the Plane of Existence. Something going wrong with one person does not affect that one reason. Do you hear me?" I sigh as I nod. "Then, go back to her." I shake my head no, and stand.
"No!" I shout. "No, I will stay here, if she is worried about hurting me, then, she will see what happens when I am not around!" I turn, but he grabs my arm. His jaw set. "Let go!" Light erupts from where he is holding onto me, and we both are blasted quite some ways. "I said leave me be." I walk a distance, but there was no where to really go in Oblivion. It was haze and that is it. He grabs me again, and I pull Oblivion. He does the same. "I said leave me, or DIE!" I slash at him, and when the blades lock, a ring so loud, the realm starts splitting erupts from the spot. He lights his hands and then comes toward me. I do the same, but fly over him on black wings. He dodges my blade, and comes up with his own. I am hit, and I fly some length. I groan as I get back up.
He frowns as he comes to me, but I leap up, and catch his blade again. He frowns as another tear in the realm happens. We fight Light with Light, and when the realm is close to tearing, we stop, both of us panting heavily. A crowd had been trying to stop us, but those that got in the way, had been killed. "I said, leave me!" He holds up Oblivion, and I strike him. He falls to the ground, and then the Space around him tears, and he is lost back to his time. I roar, and then jump after him. I make it, and we fall through time fighting. Drako was going to flip when he heard, rather, felt this.
We end up in his time, and to my dismay, I see Eliza, and Drako, and Scarlet, all waiting for him. My eyes widen, and he frowns. "I see you have seen what I meant." I grow angrier, and I go at him again. He grunts as he repels me, Oblivion against Oblivion, tearing his own time and his own Plane. He growls as I get him. Drako, well, the Drako gets to me, but I unexpectedly get him in the arm, and then Scarlet gets involved, but I jump before she can get to me, and I come down on me. I stab him through the leg, and then, an Icy blade sticks from me. His Eliza had killed me? "Eliza, no!" He says, he comes to me, and then quickly heals me, what he can anyway. "He is me, don't kill him!" He shouts as the others come, they all heal me, but I black out. I wake in Oblivion, unsure of what the time really was. I make a portal to the Shrine, Eliza still there, and I sigh with relief.
"Oh thank God." I say, then I am dispatched by exhaustion on the floor.

It seem that she couldn't even function her legs to make her stand up. The only thing she found herself can do is look away from the ground and onto the leaving form of Vincent, previously hearing his words. Opening her mouth a soft, 'Don't' escaped her mouth before her tone actually picked up and she yelled the word to the already disappeared portal.
This screw cave, great. Just -great-. She snapped at Vincent, mainly because of her own personal experience, and seeing others wither down. And now her legs won't work, and she was going to be stuck in this screwy cave and eventually lose her miind to past memories. Oh, with a missing Vincent who thought she probably hated him, and is now just a capital B.
That was just -perfect!-.
Really.
Eliza actually choked back a sob, as she bowed her head down enough that her blonde hair covered her expression. The halfling stood that way for awhile, the pond being really the only noise until she heard, and rather sense Vincents appearance. Snapping her gaze up, what met her view was the tired-out Wolfgang. Amethyst eyes were still glittering with tears but she couldnt find her words to say anything.
