 When the darkness bounds us to lost memories.. After a brief minute of regaining herself mumbling was heard through the people who seemed to try to take a better look at her fragile body.The demoness of piercing eyes showing confusion and discomfort as one man came up to her."Are you..okay m'am?" the tall brute insisted with a deep voice that only filled with faint worry.He looked like one of the guards but wasn't wearing that sort of armor."I...I don't know..yet." Acedia hesitated.For once in her life being in a crowd of people made her feel extremely claustrophobic to the area.She wanted out..Just then without any realization she threw herself forward through the suspicious crowd.Finding herself hidden under a shaded roof top from a giant tree the woman laid down in exhaustion. 'I can't survive..' the thought loomed through her head.A that moment Acedia laid down on her back, her breath heavy from power-loss and closed her saddened eyes into her only darkness within the light.
As the late afternoon arrived the sound of whistling awoken Acedia in alarm.First she thought that a man was calling their dog, but once she heard a man call up to her from below she was up and feeling only very slightly stronger from the darkened skies.It was a couple of the guards of light.After suspicions went around Alexandria when she was sleeping the guards must have felt the need to interfere.Before she could really think of a plan several big men came from opposite rooftops and tried to trap her."Hault intruder!You are not allowed here by any means!Now if you come quietly you will not be harmed.We the guards of light must take you to King Aithorn for questi-..Hey stop!!" the guard yelled just as the demoness jumped from the rooftop.If they touched her they would know she was a demon of darkness,her aura proved it.
Running from the law wasn't unusual but by any means tedious when you still aren't in tip top shape.The light still around even after it got darker made her feel sick on top of that. 'Why can't people realize all I want is a little sleep?!' the demoness thought with slight annoyance filling her by the minute.Passing through the crowds it seemed like forever as the guards got closer as her blood stained figure dashed by many. ..it never makes us any stronger.

 Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others...
A vibration on her neck alerted her to the need of the guards. As the captain of the guard she must always be ready to heed the call when it sounded. "Why can't we just have a day when we can sleep..." she said looking at Aithorn. He smiled at her. "I'll still be here when you get back." he answered her. She kissed him on the cheek then walked off to the gate as it was opened for him. Stepping on a platform she was filled with light, and instantly forced into optimum battle shape. Looking over the town with eyes of pure light she noticed a dark aura running on the roof top. It might just be one of the knights fooling around, but she needed to make sure. Calling her dragon she took off over the town and jumped when she was over her target. Landing in front of what seemed to be a girl she drew her blade. "Halt. I am Amore Captain of the guard. If you do not stop we will use force." she ordered as she prepared to fight this intruder. She didn't look like on of the knights, and she looked severely weakened from being exposed to light.
She hoped that she wouldn't have to fight in town. There were curious on lookers who may get hurt. Because of that if this demoness wanted to fight she would end it as quickly as possible. "State your name, and purpose here" she said as she looked at the girl. "Wait you look familiar...your that girl that was on the roof when we saved Kestrel and Rena. One of Pandorous' goons!" She said as he stance became more serious.
...how we felt? Life would be intolerably bearable.

When the darkness bounds us to lost memories.. As Acedia hopped to the next rooftop instantly she stopped with enough force to sweep her brilliant hair in front of her face.Her heart rate beating rapidly from the run as her breathing was also heavy.Her stance was very poor but enough that a person couldn't tell whether she was faking or really incapable of fighting.Those eyes of hers glowed only faintly from the part in her hair she ended up creating.The people seemed to crowd like the women were entertainment for their useless lives. 'great...' she thought.
When she realized that Amore had been prepared to fight she held her stance as neither offensive or defensive.Thinking really wasn't an option anymore."I am a blade to which I had sworn I would protect the rightful king of my realm...Years of suffering have left me a broken weapon in the eyes of my king.Please...do as you see fit to a tainted soul such as I." she stated through quick breaths.It had been a long time since she had actually spoken to anyone.It seemed as though ironic that she would face one of the few people who she knew would want to kill her in an instant.As she spoke she realized she had no life to hold,for in the end she truly was a broken blade.Just as she claimed her as Pandorous's slight anger slipped through her calmer facade. [b] "I only belong to thy King. The day you met my past I had saved him from death only to replace it with my own..Now kill me before I find someone else to do it for me.A broken sword does not fight in great wars."[b/][b] "I only belong to thy King. The day you met my past I had saved him from death only to replace it with my own..Now kill me before I find someone else to do it for me.A broken sword does not fight in great wars."[b/] she stated with complete honesty.For the first time her voice faltered by weakness but she held herself up in a stronger posture as though holding her life up like a true soldier ready to die. ..it never makes us any stronger.

 I may be small,"But Kestrel, it is my fault. It's my memories she saw that made her angry and she ended up hurting you." Rena said as she kept herself next to him, her arm at the very least looped through his. It was clingy and totally high school girl of her, but she didn't care nor did he seem to care. They had been separated for so long that it felt natural to just be near each other, like moths to a flame. Casting her eyes down, she thought about what he said of Vesperus, it was so tragic how much the two loved each other yet they could never truly be together. The fates, or whatever you wanted to call the higher ups, were cruel and malicious. Love so pure has been tainted beyond repair, shattering the hearts of two very old souls.
Nodding her head in agreement to Rena's thanks, she gave a gracious smile to Aithorn as she rested her head on Kestrel's shoulder. The thought of ridding herself of Celeste was scary. Celeste was a part of her, had been there for her training, but now she had to go? Could she even do that? They did share a soul so it seemed odd to separate. But if Aithorn said it was time for them to move on, maybe they should. It didn't make her feel safe though. Stepping through the portal, she knew she had to leave Kestrel so she could sleep. Dreaming was when she and Celeste were in full sync. Odd, considering Kestrel best spoke to Vesperus during nightmares, but it was true. "Goodnight Kestrel, I'll see you at breakfast." she said as she turned to him, leaned up, and kissed him lightly on the lips before she took a step back. Not smiling, she turned again and went up to her room as fast as she could.
The last lights of day was when she needed to speak to Celeste, so Rena took a very quick bath before laying in bed and closing her eyes. At first she thought she was too awake to sleep, but then her mind drifted and she was gone to her dream. "Celeste? Where are you?" she called out as she pictured a place for them to talk. A valley of wild flowers with the sun high overhead seemed like the perfect place for a calm conversation. A form to Rena's right shimmered and soon Celeste emerged in the dream, her face solemn and her eyes looking as though they were doused with fire. "You should have let me teach them their lesson more. Vesperus will corrupt the mind of Kestrel and he will do the same to you. They'll try to gain the advantage and even if it breaks your heart they shall go through with their actions." she said as she sat down next to Rena.
Sighing, Rena shook her head. She couldn't imagine Kestrel doing that to her, but then again Celeste didn't imagine it happening either. But Kestrel was different than Vesperus, his heart much kinder than his old soul. Rubbing her temples, she calmed her mind and stared at Celeste. "It's time for you to go Celeste. I have your memories and you've taught me all you can. You must leave my body for the protection of Alexandria so I may rid this world of true evil. And if I do so, you will be free to fix things with Vesperus. That's what you want, I know it. Please, your anger will never go away with those who sent you here are dealt with." she tried to sound as reasonable as a teenager could to one really old adult. Her words were even chosen specifically to get Celeste's attention away from Vesperus and back to her main concern over the years: the lives of her people.
Sighing, Celeste lay down on the flowers and looked up at the sun. To her, it was as real as she could get in her old body. The young girl's words were true, she knew that, but giving up her last attachment to the real world was a daunting thought. What if Rena wasn't ready? What if Kestrel betrayed Rena as well? She'd need guidance. But she always had Amore and Aithorn. They were wiser and selfless beings that would always be there for Rena. Maybe it was time to let go, of her anger and burdens and just sit back and watch fate take its course. Sitting up, Celeste gave a small smile to Rena. "You remind me of myself at your age. Do not make the mistakes I have Rena, they will be your downfall as they were mine. I shall not leave fully though, nor will Vesperus. Instead, we shall put our spirits in puzzle boxes. You two will be able to open the boxes in a time that you are truly out of options. Understand?" she asked as she looked at the young girl.
Though Rena was confused, she knew this was the opportunity to get her own body back from the thievery of another. But puzzle boxes? That seemed rather odd, but if it was what Celeste wanted then so be it. Nodding her understanding, Celeste stood and pulled Rena to her feet. Giving her a tight hug, she pulled back with her hands on Rena's shoulders and she spoke. "I love you Rena, and wish you all the luck I could possibly give. And tell everyone I love them with my entire being please." Her voice became but a whisper at the end and her form began to shift. It was like staring at a mirage, but instead of it staying spot, her form vanished. Her mind felt empty of the extra pressure it once had. At first Rena felt alone, but she realized that figuratively speaking, Celeste would always be there.
Waking, her head felt as though it lost a thousand pounds. Smiling, she ran her hands through her hair as she stood to get ready for the day. The puzzle box, made of shining clear crystal, stood on her bed side table. After bathing, dressing, and arranging her hair, she put her puzzle away. Now to find her weapon. She must have misplaced it for it was not in her room. All there was was a large crystal necklace. Probably a parting gift from Celeste, no matter. She positioned it on her neck before moving out of her room to find Kestrel to tell him about her dream. but my conviction will overpower even the mountains of power.

 Kestrel SamaelThey say that power corrupts...
"She would have found out eventually Rena." he responded. "And I think it helped Vesperus he always had it on his mind." He thought about what had happened to Celeste and Vesperus. He hope that never happed to the two of them. He would need to put a stop to the higher beings that thought it a fun game to play with the hearts of Vesperus and Celeste. As they returned to the castle he saw that Amore had to deal with something in town. He sensed a familiar power, but could remember what it was. Aithorn walked off probably to go take a rest. He seemed so drained. "See you at breakfast." he said as she kissed him. Heading to his room he sat on the bed playing a light tune trying to prepare himself for Vesperus. Laying down he willed himself to sleep. A roar echoed in his mind as a blade few at him. Catching it he ran bravely into the darkness consuming it within his hands. "Kestrel...." said Vesperus. "I already know what you want, and it won't happen you aren't ready..." he said. Vesperus landed and flashed stepped around him slashing as Kestrel deflected just as fast. With a burst of speed Kestrel flipped on his sword and kicked Vesperus in the jaw.
Vesperus smiled as he wiped blood of his mouth. Turning his weapon in to a guitar Vesperus played a song as lighting began to attack Kestrel from the sky. The song was everywhere and it was hard to read what was going to happen. Kestrel flipped back pulling out his guitar and a band of souls appeared behind him out playing Vesperus. A blast knocked the guitar out of his hand. Vesperus charged grabbing Kestrel's face and throwing him into the air. "Uroboros!" yelled Kestrel as he changed to the snake and dived down. Vesperus grabbed both of his fangs and pushed back. Grabbing his blade he dived in slashing rapidly. Kestrel laughed as he was outside of the snake already. Raising his hand he formed a ball of darkness. Condensing it until it exploded. Vesperus hit the ground hard and laughed. "Who thought a brat like you would get stronger than me!" he held his face and laughed loudly. "Don't let that power control you. What's really important to you kid?" he asked. Kestrel didn't even need to think about it. "Rena" he answered. Vesperus stood up and put a hand on his shoulder. "Good never forget that alright?" he said. Putting a box in his hand oozing of darkness. "Whenever you need that open that box ok? But I got get out Mr. Landlord. My lease is up." he said smiling.
Vesperus started walking away. "Hey King!" said Kestrel. "That's not me anymore kid. That's your title now. Oh and before I forget..." Vesperus said walking back to him and handing him a piece of paper. It was notes to a song called "Thats why they call me king!". "Best song I ever wrote!" said Vesperus. "But its not done. You finish the rest of it alright?" he said fading away. Kestrel put the paper away stored in his memories. He woke up suddenly, and smiled. The box still in his hand, as was that song. It sounded so good, but ended abruptly.
Getting up he showed and changed into his clothes that were washed for him. He didn't feel any weaker without Vesperus. He looked around for his guitar, but it was no where to be found even when he called for it. "It must be gone with him..." he said. Something told him he needed to finish that song quickly, but first he would check on Rena and see how she was. Walking out of his room he saw Rena running down the hallways again. "How did it go Rena?" he asked as she approached him.
...Then absolute power must corrupt completely!

 Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others...
Amore looked into Acedia's eyes, and saw no lie in them. For a creature of darkness she was a strange one. "If you mean Kestrel...you must have been exiled from the land of darkness. How did you survive this long?" she asked. "As a fellow warrior I cannot do that. It is a warriors duty to die on the field of battle. You should know that." she answered. She sheathed her sword and some gaurds jumped onto the roof. "We will place you in the dark prison. Until we can decide what to do with you. It will do you some good to get out of this light, and it will calm the people." Amore raised her hand as shackles of light binded her. The gaurds drabbed her arms leading her to the castle and to the dungeon. A light surrounded Amore and the gaurds as they placed her in the cell and locked it.
Amore stood infront of it. "So you are going to answer some questions...if you lie there is nothing I can do for you. So answer. How did you survive for two years. And how is that you haven't seemed to have aged at all. Someone or something must have helped you out..." she asked. It seemed in possible. Even Vesperus coudln't last that long in the between realm for that long. She looked at Acedia as she waited for an answer. The darkness of the prison should be helping her recover.
...how we felt? Life would be intolerably bearable.

When the darkness bounds us to lost memories.. "If that is what you call my king then yes." she answered as her eyes seemed to only hold their attention on Amore.Intentionally the demoness ignored her question but thought of the way a real warrior should die.Maybe she should try to fight her...that was too easy though.As the shackles restrained her Acedia flinched slightly since she was only half expecting it.When the guards grabbed her she felt as though all she could do was walk.She had no where to run to so why fight it now?Once she was placed into the dungeon she had already felt the healing powers of the dark try to save her wretched body.The sickness she felt seemed to dissipate too.Amore's question gave her deep thoughts but to be honest she didn't remember a lot.It felt like a day but in reality went by in two years."I do not lie unless I have to..I do not recall what had really happened within the place I was held.A woman made sure I had not been able to think nor fight her restraints against me.I do not know how long it has been since I have been able to walk or speak on my own....Memories that I have are from the punishment from my betrayal.Pandorous does not wish to see my aura alive but sent me away on the brink of death in exile so that I shall suffer more before death's call comes for me." the blood stained demoness finally answered her main question with an emotionless tone.The look in her eyes strayed from Amore's but returned only to ask one simple question back."Tell me...has my king been in safe hands?..He must be sick from your light since yesterdays escape from the dark realm." From that point she had been serious and just from that question it was clear to Amore that she was thinking about two years ago.
..it never makes us any stronger.

 When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.Rena broke out into a smile as she saw Kestrel. It was him and not Vesperus who awoke this morning, and hopefully Vesperus was gone like Celeste was. Hugging him, she pulled back and looped her arm through his as was her normal action when around him. "It went well. At first she only wanted to say that I should have let her punish Vesperus and you because you might follow in his footsteps and do the same to me, but I ignored her. You wouldn't do that to me, you have more consideration for things other than power." she began as she remembered the pain and worry in Celeste's eyes. Celeste truly believed Vesperus lost love for her and Kestrel would do the same. Rena, luckily, had more faith in her... boyfriend? Soul mate? What did she classify him as to her? She'd have to remember to ask him later.
Mentally stashing away those thoughts, since she now had extra room in her head to do so, she finished her story of Celeste. "But then I discussed with her why she needed to move on and she was very reasonable about it. She warned me not to make the same mistakes she did and then she turned into this magnificent crystal puzzle box. A rather odd thing to turn into, but that's what she chose... And I woke up and my weapon was missing as well, have you seen it around anywhere?" she asked as she remembered the Seventh Sanctum missing. Her back felt a breeze which was rather odd considering the sword was always there to block any form of feeling from her bare skin. Moving him towards the dining room, they'd have breakfast before Aithorn and Amore told them what they were to do today.
"What about you, how'd things go with Vesperus?" she asked curiously as she looked up at him. She truly loved his new hair, not that she didn't like his old hair color, but this suited him much more. Tempted to reach up and play with his hair, she decided she could save that for later. They had other things to focus on rather than her play the part of a normal teenage girl. That role was long past and she wasn't going to get it back any time soon or ever. Sighing mentally, she entered the dining hall and took her seat at the head of the table. Her fruit and other morning favorites were placed in front of her in appropriate proportions. Then throw it in the face of the person who gave you the lemons until they give you the oranges you originally asked for.

Kestrel SamaelThey say that power corrupts...
Hugging Rena before they looped arms like they always did he smiled. It was nice to see her in a good mood after last night. "Vesperus gave me a similar lecture. He told me to always remember what is truly important to me." he said smiling at her. "He also gave me an incomplete song that I'm supposed to finish..." He was glad that Rena believed in him. He wasn't going to make the same mistake Vesperus did. That is why he had to do everything his own way and didn't try to copy Vesperus. If he did he feared he might have become to dark, and tried to do just as he did. That probably why Celeste's attack didn't kill him. He already had some light inside of him. A gift from Rena.
"As soon as I tried to talk to him he attacked me in my mind." he said laughing. "I won though. He took it well, but I know that he still wants a rematch. Then he too turned into a puzzle box." He also thought that was strange. "No I haven't seen it, and my weapon is missing as well...I think that it left with their owners. Well have to find weapons of our own." he said. He really didn't know what weapon they could make to compare to the ond ones. They were so powerful. "Well make them even stronger than before" he said laughing.
As he was about to sit down he looked at his chair."Also we ended up training in our old world." he said snapping a finger and opened a portal under the chair and it vanished, and a new red and black throne rose in its place. He remembered they made it for their performance. "Oh the stories I have to tell you about our home." he said smiling as he ate his food. "So we got a gig, and one of the producers liked our stuff a lot. Me and the Knight's became rock stars. And I played for our old school and dedicated a song to you. So if we go back be ready just so you know." he said as he ate some fruit.
...Then absolute power must corrupt completely!

Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others...
Amore listened, but nothing made sense. She could tell that she was that she wasn't lying, but that women scared her. She had power to halt time for a certain person. That kind of power sounded like them. If they were making a move in this realm that meant the could possibly be seeking to cause harm to Alexandria. It would also explain who or what made it so that Pandorous could stay even though Vesperus was long gone. Knowing this still didn't make Amore feel any better. She needed to tell Aithorn and the others to be on guard in case this new being to decided to move into action. Then she listened to her question about Vesperus. "He was not he long before he went back to the realm of darkness to train. He likes it here though. He has more light in him then you would like to think. You really don't remember these past two years..." she said. Standing up she looked to the guards. Let her walk around, but keep her down her till I return. The guards lifted their spears putting up a wall of light.
Signa crawled up into the cell next to her and laughed with a high pitched tone. "To bad you can't do that huh?" he said with a snicker. "You really stink at staying unnoticed I watched you the whole time. I don't know how you were able to survive. And really I don't care. Did that women tell you anything about us? She told us to get Vesperus out of picture so that Kestrel could shine. She must have told you to tell us something!" The guards didn't seem to be able to hear him or see him. "Don't worry about them they are under Locke's spell." he said. He looked at her closely. "You really didn't age at all. Hehehe she did a good job with all of us. Don't you think? Didn't think some weird magic kept us all from disappearing and brought us back did you? We all owe her everything. Our savior..."
...how we felt? Life would be intolerably bearable.

When the darkness bounds us to lost memories.. 'Kestrel..has light?..' she thought.It wasn't something that the woman could comprehend.Shouldn't the dark king has only darkness within his soul?Just then on Amore's last words her expression seemed to be confused but twisted it into a facade just after she realized she showed it.
Just as Amore walked away and left her alone with the guards she could hear feel the aura of another dark essence within her cell.Moving to the darkest corner she could find Acedia started to realize who's voice she heard and sat down slouching with her back against the wall.She decided to ignore his first comment since she knew he was only trying to get to her.She was impressed by Locke's spell though. "A stalker of my own I presume...My mission was to kill the reincarnation of the last king.She would not tell me anymore unfortunately for the both of us.I was not sent here by my own will if you hadn't realized by now." she replied simply.As minutes went by her breathing evened out.When Signa looked at her her piercing purple eyes seemed to flicker a dull purple directly into his eyes.He hadn't changed at all either.. "Are you trying to give me a compliment Signa?Of coarse I look best in blood huh....wait has two years really gone by in my absence?" she said thinking more clearly.The darkness in the cell had been able to help her clear her mind and think more efficiently.His words seemed to etch into her thoughts though.Something that she refused to think about finally opening up again,but this time the evil queen would not be around to hear.She really did bring them both to life.Signa was right,but why did it feel so wrong? "She is a powerful demoness queen who indeed brought us from nothing,but behind it all something doesn't feel right for her to be the rightful heir...I have been loyal till the end in which I am sure she still needs me.If she didn't then why didn't she kill me?" she insisted almost with her usually velvet tone.Letting out a deep sigh Acedia tilted her head back and stared up at the ceiling as though she were gazing at the night's stars.
..it never makes us any stronger.

 Never look back on your past, for what happened then can no longer be changed."And what is truly important to you?" Rena asked with a giggle as she blushed in his direction. She knew full well what was most important to him, but it was always nice to hear him say it out loud. But while on the topic, she thought now was the best time to ask him what they were to each other. "Kestrel..." she began as she took a sip of water. Smiling at him, she finished her thought. "I've been wondering, what are we to each other? Obviously we care for one another, but what is the official title?" Her voice was light and sweet, and surely he understand that she wanted to have a title. She had the territoriality but wanted to give a full out reason to it other than their past selves were lovers.
Eating more fruit off of her plate, she swallowed and thought about Vesperus. He fought off Kestrel to stay put, and though Kestrel won, she wondered if she could do the same against Celeste. She didn't think she could, especially since her weapon was apparently Celeste's which she now lost. "Seriously? That sucks, I really liked that weapon..." she said with a slight pout as she unthinkingly touched her back where her weapon would have laid. Maybe he was right though, that they will make more powerful weapons. Hers could be made from a very potent red crystal Raze had been working on. Hopefully she could make it transform into other weapons as well.
Rena's eyes shot straight towards him as he mentioned being home. She had dreams of seeing her family again, of her friends, of something close to normalcy. He, however, got to live the high life while she was stuck in Alexandria adjusting to her new life. Trying to replace her calm and happy smile, she motioned for him to continue talking as she finished her plate. Her heart did fall just a slight bit at the thoughts now swirling in her head, but she didn't hold it against him. He needed a place dark and safe from Pandorous so she guessed that was as safe as it was going to get for the King of Oblivion. Look forward towards your future, for that is what is in your control.

 Your really boring you know that...
Signa laughed. "You don't have the slightest idea of who I am talking about do you? Kestrel and Pandorous are old news. We got someone else pulling the strings now. You better shape up and see who it really is that rules things. We Knights of Sin have been working for her since the start." said Signa standing up. "She is the reason that you weren't killed. Her and the ones that control life. They are the one that you should be thinking about" Klow and Rok appeared in there with him. "Signa Amore is on her way. What should we do?" asked Klow. Signa stretched. "She said we should act as soon as Vesperus and Celeste were gone. We gotta kill the brats." he answered. Stepping through the gates he looked at Acedia breathing a mist through his mask. "This time of light and dark is over..." he said as he walked towards the guards. Klow and Rok smashed them against the walls and started up the stairs. Locke slithered in and glared at Acedia as the bars around he cage melted. Then he went off to join the others.
The group stood in front of Amore as she stood glaring at them. "What is the meaning of this?" she asked drawing her sword. Signa drew his and smirked. "We are going to kill the brats. Both of them" he said smiling. Amore powered up her sword. "Then why go through the trouble of training Kestrel?!" she yelled. "She needs strong souls to manipulate into the stronger ones." he answered. Signa dashed towards her and slashed. A flash of light cut him off though. Aithorn stood with both of his holy swords drawn. Shoving Signa back he turned to Amore. "Go and get them to Raze!" he said as he dashed towards Signa again. Klow leaped over him and ran jumping back and forth down the hallway in a dance. Amore gritted her teeth and ran towards her using light to run faster. She wouldn't let Klow lay a finger on Kestrel or Rena.
...I'll just keep beating you tougher.

Kestrel SamaelThey say that power corrupts...
"You Rena." he said smiling. They kept walking down the hallway till she asked him another question. He really never though about it before. He always though of her as a girlfriend, but they never discussed it. Vesperus and Celeste were at one time husband and wife, but they weren't Vesperus and Celeste. They we Kestrel and Rena. "I think for now girlfriend and boyfriend is appropriate. Don't you?" he asked with a kind tone. He loved her just as much as Vesperus loved Celeste which was infinite, but there was no reason to jump to husband and wife. And it wasn't because of Vesperus that he loved Rena. It was his own feelings.
As they ate he smiled. It was nice to have a little peace. "I miss mine too, but there isn't much we can do. They we kind of like training wheels until we could take off on our own." Suddenly He heard a crash and he kicked his seat back as it slammed into the wall. Klow dashed in and ran on the table towards Rena. He could tell what her intentions were before she entered the room. That was the connection he shared with the knights. Grabbing another piece of fruit he handed it to Rena before he picked up the table and threw it at the all. Klow flipped and smashed through it still heading for Rena and Kestrel. But kestrel was no where to be found just Rena and the piece of fruit. Behind her he elbowed her in the back and spun in front of her punching her into the ground as the table came crashing down he kicked it sending the pieces away from Rena.
Landing next to Rena as Amore entered the room. Amore was surprised to see Kestrel there surrounded in dark energy. He looked like a real king of darkness. Slithering in Locke shot down at Rena from the roof and attacked outstretching his arms towards her. Klow got up holding her head and dashed towards Kestrel. Kestrel kicked in a circle opening a portal and punched straight through it as a larger fist shot in front of Klow and punched her into the wall. Amore ran towards Rena trying to intercept Locke as Kestrel punched with a second hand sending Locke ofcourse leaving Rena able to counter attack.
...Then absolute power must corrupt completely!

When the darkness bounds us to lost memories.. The expression on Acedia's face grew confused till something hit her. 'Is he talking about that woman?.. she thought.Everything she had been thinking about had started to connect in different ways now and started to show on her face.Her loyalty was to the creator,the woman of which she only remembered by her voice.As Signa stretched the demoness stood upright as though revived.The darkness within the cell had healed her quite a bit as she was sitting still. "I understand.." she stated with her velvet tone.Her mind was back in its place.As he left she watched Locke break her cell open and without hesitating Acedia darted out with the knights of sin.Those purple eyes gaining back their color as she felt better than ever after her healing.
As the demoness caught up moments later she had seen that the fight had already begun.Briefly she saw Klow and Amore run one direction while Signa fought with Aithorn.With Klow being alone to kill the two yet alone three with Amore on her tail the assassin leaped past Aithorn and followed suit behind Amore.Finding her concealed weaponry Acedia pulled out multiple knives tainted almost black then headed towards a short cut to where Klow would be headed.If anything Acedia could get the advantage by catching Amore off guard while the knight killed the two.
Just as the door was barged into Acedia had been waiting momentarily above them in silence.When Locke decided to attack she realized almost instantly that Amore was going to try to intercept.Instead of letting her a loud crash and fall of debris feel into the room from the ceiling as Acedia leaped right onto Amore with knives locked onto her.The look of shock from Amore shot a smirk to Acedia's face as the light reflected the dark purple within her demented eyes. "You didn't think I would stay in there for long did you?" she grinned as the extreme force she placed on Amore let her move closer to Amore's face.With her taking care of the pinned down woman it gave the Knights of Sin time to get the young couple.
..it never makes us any stronger.
