The plains of Telnar stretch for several hundred miles, which takes at least a week to cross. The plains are covered in dense golden grass, usually reaching approximately six feet in height. These lands are occupied by wild hunting dogs. Massive burrowing worms tend to live underground and have a very keen sense of feeling the slightest vibration a being makes. Once the wet season fall upon the area, these worms surface and are left vulnerable. The only way to avoid these beasts is to take advantage of the tall grass which could reduce the vibrations created by your feet. Other creatures that hunt the area have an exeptional sense of hearing. The plains of Telnar are ended by a fifty meter steep cliff and leads straight into a ravine.

The dazed girl wandered into the plains. It was a plain sigh, her emotions ran wild. She saw Draku land somewerre, but she didnt know what part of Telnar he was in"W-werre is he...? Werre is everone...?"she whispered, turning about in confusion. Her heart raced, her limbs felt week, especialy after the brutal attack on Meldonar, then the attack of the well. Her violent shapeshift and her new found power. Lecta was drained and confused. Her eyes werre blurry, there was lone tree off in the distance, there werre loud hows and flapping of wings. The usual for such a place, the night was comming fast. She feared bieng alone, out in the open at night. But, perhaps, it was only the effect of her clouded mind.

Something was about to take place...Something huge. A battle for himself. A battle for his freedom.
Draku lay on the ground of the plains. A sword had been thrust through his heart. Blood spilled on the ground. His blood. An evil monster loomed above him, about to strike the final blow....
The vision had come so unexpectantly...It took me by surprise, so much so, apparently, that i gasped aloud. I hoped it wouldn't interrupt anything...
But the vision!! "Draku..." i whisperd to my self desperately..He would die here, but not yet. Maybe it would be years in the future...or maybe it would be right now....
I came over the top of the hill, and saw the thing i dreaded most.....

"Eleyym! Serobi!"she screamed, walking around in sheer confusion. She stumbled around, letting out a wimper and sat herself on her knees. Staring down blankly into the yellow grass. Crossing her arms, placing a hand to each of her shoulders, she rock back and forth in order to comfort herself, her breaths werre shaky and short"Eleyym!"she shouted again, raising her head and stared around with blurry eyes.

"Eleyym" I heard her cry. '' Lecta !?! where are you!!" i yelled back. Then i saw her, stumbling around on the field..She was obviously distraught...I ran to her as fast as i could
"It's alright lecta, i'm here" i comforted her, as i had earlier. Her frame was pifitul, and she was sobbing uncontrollably, "I'm here, everything's fine" i lied....But how could i tell her the truth? Instead of telling her, i decided to lead her to the spot where draku and the necromancer were....

Cowering to Eleyym, she burried her face into his chest, clawing at his exposed flesh"I-I cant f-find him..."she gasped, shacking furiously she stared around again with horrafied eyes"I-Is he...?"she asked and chewed on her bottom lip, it started to bleed. It was dark around her eyes, and lines showed thick and long, hair was messy, and her cheeks slightly sunk"P-please d-dont tell me he is...".

As he continued, his paws fiercely pounded on that hard earthen floor. Time came when the necromancer has grown weak and frail. No longer can he keep up with the fast pace of battle. It was then that it happened. The awakening. The tiger stopped in its tracks and shook off the sinister evil which mounted him. Its king was weak and the horse would not allow such a weak being to mount him any longer. Draku's soul was in great rage. Rage that tore the undead force that ordered commands in his body. Shifting in his ever common human form, he stared down at the fallen villian with eyes raging of fire. Taking his blades, he grasped its hilt with unbreakable grip. At this moment, the gods look down to see the results of this battle.
Pointing his blades at the Necromancer, he speaks boldly and ever daring. "You have the audacity to take over my body, do you?" he states and tightens his grip on the weapons even harder. "You have shown me your power, I will show you mine. By the way, it is best to know the name of whom defeated you. My name is Drakonis Amadeus. I will silence your reign of evil."
After concluding his last sentence, he charged at the necromancer, energy exploding into his legs. Draku was powered by anger and rage. His blades swung fiercely at his opponent as he did not have much time to reply. Applying his telekenetic force, the blades gave out steadfast blows. The sorcerer blocked his attacks easily and carried a smirk on his face. A few slashes marked Draku on his shoulders and face, spewing out blood, staining the ground crimson. Gods within the azure skies, aid me in this battle. Twist fate for the sake of your kingdom
The battle lasted for thirty minutes now and Draku had multiple stabs and blows. On the other hand, the necromancer fought with great difficulty. ting..clang and the opponent's attack was weak enough to be parried. He stumbled and it was the opportunity to attack. A telekenetic powered blade pierced the side of the necromancer, crushing a few ribs. In exchange, the opponent delivered a final blow, slashing Draku from his forehead and down to his abdomen. After that, the necromancer's versetale attacks stopped and he was dead with his sword stuck in Draku's inside. Draku heart beat fiercely, pumping blood but was leaking from his wounds. The lifestream poured out of him as his life disipated. Step..Step..No longer can he walk. Another step and he slowly fell down to the ground. I have failed you, Lecta, Serobi, Elyym and Kalupaan...I.. Draku would have spoken something to himself but the blood rushing through his body clogged his throat. Now, his heart merely fibrillated as life exited its host.
"Eck..Eck...."
It was as if the forest and animals wept. Great mother was disappointed in the battle outcome. Another hero lost, placed into the history books; died in vain. Died in the hands of an undead beast that was infatuated with power, had the lust for blood, for flesh. However, Draku was happy he died human, died good. Most of all, died with honor as he struggled to protect the kingdom of great mother.

I took my hands, and gently held her cheecks between my palms, forcing her to face me in the eye, but not forcefully so. "No, he's not dead yet lecta...not yet", should i tell her about the vision? she was still sobbing, and her breathing was still light, and short. I couldn't tell her...not like this... She'd never believe me if i told her Nature's plan anyways....No, i had to show her. "Follow me lecta, i'll take you to him. But you must promise me something first", i told her.....

Slidding her hands up. She placed her hands on his. Staring him up, straight in the eye as best she could"W-what? I-Il promice you, w-whatever I can..."she breathed, slidding her arms around his waist. She pulled her face away from his hands and burried it into his chest. Breathing in, a deep shaky breath"I-I dont w-want him t-to d-die...w-what will I d-do...?"she sobbed and slid down to her knees. Laying her head against his thighs and closed her eyes, forcing herself to keep back her tears.

I held her closer to me, feeling her pain. We must have both realized it, but refused to believe, that he was dead, even as we spoke...I knew the plan, but still i started to mourn loudly, as lecta did...
"Lecta", i said through my tears, "You have to p-promise me, that no matter what h-happens, you'll trust me, and you won't leave my side...no m-matter what" i sobbed....the truth started tearing at my soul...I didn't want to believe it...perhaps the stars had made a mistake, or-or....no. the stars never lied.....

Faint blue light exited his wounds. Draku was surprised to have been standing over his body. He was now a ghost. Kneeling beside Lecta, he gave her a soft kiss on her left cheek as his soul began to disipate into great mother. From here on, the cycle of life continues and Draku might be reborn elsewhere. As a new person perhaps?

Closing her eyes, she nodded, forcing herself to smile. But, she had failed"I-I will...I, p-promice you that..."she whispered, slidding her hands down along his chest and wipped her tears from her eyes"C-can you take me to him...? D-do you know werre he lays?"she choked, lifting her head and stared with wide eyes. Lecta's body tenced, and tears formed in her eyes again, she placed a hand to her cheek and stared about furiously"D-draku!?".

I saw her reaction. I didn't fully understand why, but i could've sworn i saw a blue mist about Lecta...i ignored her outburst...,"I do...." nothing else was to be said...the tears still flowed down both of our faces. Our cries must've been heard by the forest and the sky, for they seemed to mourn with us...i walked her over to the place where draku lay
It was a gruesome scene...his body left, defiled for the scavengers to feed on. his eyes still open, his face menacingly still. Lecta then began to mourn, fully. Her sobs reached the skies, and the mountains and the sea's...the very moon itself seemed to hear it. Normally i try to passively hide my emotions, but this...this couldn't be helped. I mourned with lecta, kneeling beside his body, weeping. this cruel fate... why?...why like this...? i asked the moon...why?

"N-no!"she cried, stumbling over. She collapsed her his body, her hands placed to each side of his face"N-no...p-please..."she gasped, staring down towards the sword in his side, and pulled it from his flesh. Laying it down beside her. She relaxed his features and kissed Draku's corpse right by the lips"W-why..."she gasped, her throat swelled and breathing became very difficult. Placing a hand to her chest, she gasped hard, running a hand along his hair.
