Welcome to Gaia! ::

Prologue:

After obtaining the mysterious gold box. Dark was desperately trying to catch up with Lark, Kiro, and Sana unaware that he was being followed.

"I told them to go down a hallway how did they end up all the way over there. Oh well better catch up before they face the Shadow Fiend."
Finally re-entering the room where Kiro and Lark had fought the Bone Dragons I stop.
"Ok I know that their good but why aren't there any more Skeleton Warriors or at least some remains. Now that I think of it where the hell are the remains of the Bone Dragons."

"What did you think I would leave them lying around"says a unknown voice...
I turn around to see "HIM" standing their.
"How. . . What the. . . " *regains composure* "So you've been watching all along." I reply
"Not the whole time. I actually sensed your warriors fighting from outside the cathedral and decided to take it upon myself to make things more fun."
"So you where the one who woke the Skeleton Warriors. I knew the battle wasn't enough to wake them. So what the hell do you want."
"What do you think. I know you have it. So just hand it over now and I'll gladly leave."
"Like I would actually give it to you without a fight." I take a fighting stance.
"I knew you'd say that . That's why I took the liberty of waking the Elder Lords."
I couldn't help but stand there with a dumbfounded look on my face."Like they would actually obey you" I finally replied.
"True normally they wouldn't but since I offered them a nice juicy sacrifice and rejuvenated their rotten bodies they were more then welcome to comply. So here's the deal since I know oh so well and don't really want fight. Well at least not in this filthy place, how could those mages live here it's atrocious. Either you hand over the box willing. Or you decide to face me in battle. But if you fight me your little friends will then be facing the Elder Lords. Now, I'm not saying their weak. Your little minions seem to be strong, but they are tired and worn out they would surely lose. So which do you chose?"
Contemplating the situation I knew I couldn't hand over the content of the box to him.
"I chose neither."
"What . . . your planning something. Fine what do you propose."
"I don't give you the box and you don't send the Elder Lords after my friends."
"So then what do I get."
Deciding it as the lesser of two evil I knew what I had to do. I only hoped that Lark still had the key I gave her.
"You get me. I shall be your prisoner for their safety."
"He" stood laughing. "Oh my. Hahahaha. I never would have imagined that Darkness would go so far for anyone. Fine I agree, but just to be sure that you don't try to kill me once your little friends are safe. You must willing let yourself be confined. Ah, and I know just how to do it. It's perfect for the season."
He reaches into his coat and pulls out a tiny christams box and places it on the floor.
"Come now time to wake up and taste the darkness. AHAHAHAH. . . taste that darkneess. . . oh man I crack myself up."
Suddenly the tiny box grows to an enormous size and eats me as I simply stand there and lets it.

Inside the Mimic Box.
"Well at least Kiro and the others are safe, but they'll probably wonder where I've gone. In that case."
I extend my right arm forth. Then a dark aura circle appears beside it. I reach in and pull out an a shadow creature.
"Hey wake up I have a task for you. . . "

Dark's Shadow Creature waits at the entrance.

What's this? So they come come for you Darkness. We shall see if they have what it takes.

Dark's Shadow Creature:
So you have finally arrive. Good, Dark is being held on the top floor. You must hurry. Calux mostn't get the context of the box.

"So that's why we haven't seen Bossman in a while." Kiro said.

"... that sword... u must be the infamous Seishiro Kuki." Kiro said looking at the Raiken and then back at Seishiro.

Dark's Shadow Creature:
Sadly Master hasn't told me what's inside.
*looks around at other*
Master didn't tell me that this many people would come. Thank you.
