"Then why don't you do something about it?" Inferno asked.

(Isn't Speedy going to reply to Chimera?)

"I tried to help us by trying for peace, but if we fought back, I'll still be blamed for the casualties, I'm in a lose-lose situation" Kihei said

Occ: Oh sorry didn't see it

"How should I know" Speedy said, "I never been a king"

"Its better than hiding in some vault for the rest of your life." Inferno countered, "The People needs a king that they know will fight for them instead of herding them all into a vault waiting like cattle to a slaughter. Everyone dies, Its better dying as a hero who gave it his all than a cowardly king who hides"

"I guess so, but I'm no good, I can't be that guy, I remember a great dragon named Sky, he was my friend and he was strong, but I'm not, I'm too easy to kill, only ice and magic can heal me, and since nobody knows that, I'd die before they'd figure it out, and if everyone did know, I'd be killed just like my father" Kihei explained "I'm not a fighter, I'm sorry I wasted everyone's time" He said before flying away

Chimera chuckled, "Well, since anyone can be the monarch right now, we're in need of a definite person for the job. Therefore, I nominate myself." Chimera looked at the crown, which continued to hover in front of her.

Just then, a shape walked out from behind some shadows, "I think you'll make an excellent queen, Chimera."

Chimera gasped in surprise as she recognized Glare; the ice and light dragon was someone she had met a while back.

Varedis, noticing that Flurry wasn't responding said, "Alright, I can see that you don't want to talk, and I respect that, so I'm going to the castle, but remember, even though we don't know each other, you know Isis and I know Isis,and the Friend of my friend is my friend. So if you ever want to talk, in private or not, I'll be at the castle," And with that he left.

Chromatus saw Varedis in the distance and flew to him and told him of events that had happened, they came back to the castle, and Varedis confirmed whaat Chromatus had told him, Chimera was Queen.

"Chimera!" he shouted, "You're the Queen now!" Then he looked around for Leo, "How come he' so obsessed with Dusk, so what if he has the Chaootic Eyes, he's still a normal dragon, if he wants a soldier, he should ask for people who are ued to it. Take Chromatus here, he is crazy strong, he almost killed me once, if you remember, back when we got attacked in that library, I was in that place for what seemed like years, but I don't really know, since I was going through all time and space like a playground. Thats why I'm not sure how old I am."

Before Chimera could reply to Glare, she noticed Chromatus and Varedis, "Well, I don't know why Leo was so insistent on having Dusk fight, we've all got our hidden powers. Anyway, yeah, I remember back at the library, feels like it was yesterday," Chimera laughed a little bit, "okay, maybe a week or month or so to me." She then turned to Glare, "So what brings you here? I haven't seen you since the time in that Academy dimension."

Glare replied calmly, "Oh, the usual, keeping an eye on you, making sure I'll be around if needed. Say, what are your names again?" Glare looked at the other dragons in the room.

(Yeah, Glare has a similar occupation with traveling though dimensions, but he has a different reason; he's more of Chimera's guardian in a way.)

Varedis said, "I am Varedis and this is Chromatus, nice to met you."

Dusk hid behind Speedy again, "I'm Speedy" Speedy said.

"Nice to meet you. I don't believe I've said my name, it's Glare." Glare replied.

Meanwhile, Valley and Navy were flying after Kihei; while Valley was trying to think of a way to cheer him up, Navy wondered how to get Kihei's confidence up.

"Nice to meet you too, Glare. Where did you come from by the way? You seemed to just appear in the corridor" said Chromatus

"Hey Speedy, hey dusk, haven't we met before," asked Varedis.

Dusk shakes behind Speedy holding onto his arm, "N-No...." Dusk stampered.

Kihei flew until he landed in a graveyard in front of a mousilum

"Oh," said Varedis, "Them maybe you just re,ind me of someone that I used to know. Somebody... i used to know. You remind me of somebody that I used to know... but what happened to him, where is Sky the Primal Dragon??"

OoC:He's talking to himself, but Dusk most probably would've heard.

"H-How did you know my dad..." Dusk asked timidly.

"He's your dad? Oh well then, that'd make sense, considering the resemblance." He looked around then continued, "Oh, we were mates back in the day, chasing after the Crown of a Lost King, good times. Dangerous, risky times where I was pulled into hell, but fun times.

Glare looked at Chromatus, "Well, Chimera knows how I arrived, she and I actually have plenty in common."

"Yeah, I was quite surprised when I first learned about Glare's little secrets." Chimera remarked. She gave the floating crown a good look, and with a wave of her still-feathered wings, put the crown in her pocket dimension.

"O-Oh...I-I'm sorry...I-I don't know where he is..." Dusk said

"Yeah, and I think his intelligence had to take over his heart as well," Skyward snarled. "He doesn't know what dragon he's crossed. Speedy may apparently be the last Shadow-tail or whatever it was called, and Dusk may have those Chaotic Eyes, but I'm dangerous even with just two elements and telepathy."

Chimera looked at Skyward, and with a nod, said, "Agreed, I don't care about whether or not Dusk here has those 'chaotic eyes', it's not the only way to end a war. Me and Glare here make for an excellent tag team. And now that I'm the queen, I think I'll prove to be a good leader as I stand on the frontlines with everyone."

Skyward flicked her tail uncertainly. "Someone should tell him that," she growled. "But I don't think anyone could put sense in that dragon."

Chimera let out a small laugh, "I wish he would fight me, I haven't had a good sparring match in a long while."

((I can't tell who you guys are talking about))

"I failed mom" Kihei said as he opened the mousilum and went inside, Kihei's mother Lira was laid to rest surrounded by flowers that were now dead "I tried doing what you wanted me to mom, but I wasn't good enough"

(They are talking about Leo from the previous page.)

Occ: Yeah

"Oh? Are you a dimension-traveler too?" he asked, making sure no one else could hear but Glare and Chimera.

Varedis looked at Dusk, "Oh. What happened? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

((Wasn't Kihei being followed by Inferno, Valley, and Navy?))

(About to get to Valley and Navy right now.)

Valley silently walked up to Kihei with Navy right behind her, "Uhh, Kihei?"

Meanwhile, Glare looked at Chromatus, "Yeah, I've been assigned to keep an eye on Chimera."

"Oh, cool, like her own personal guardian-angel. Life fit for a queen indeed! What next a dimension-jumping butler who travels through the dimensions to serve you breakfast, lunch and dinner? Nah, don't mind me, I'm just joking." said Chromatus

Glare raised a curious eye ridge, "You could say that, it's my job to make sure Chimera survives, a certain diety wants her around in the future. It's got to do with someone very special Chimera knows."

Chimera looked at Glare, "I could have told him that."

Kihei turned around "What do you want Valley?" He asked, trying to mask the emotional pain he was feeling

"Woah, a diety. So it's like some Divine Intervention protecting you," Chromatus was seriously impressed.

"The two of us wanted to talk to you." Valley spoke up, and Navy nodded.

"About what exactly?" Kihei asked

OOC: IM LOST

Occ: Same

(im not sure about Flurry, I think she was returning back to palace, and as for you Sky, Dusk and Speedy were in the throne room but Glare and Chimera were just talking with Chromatus, don't know about Leo though, and Inferno I think was following Valley and Navy.)

Valley waved her tail, unsure about what to say, but came up with something, "Well, its about, well, everything I guess. Mostly, I don't want to see someone like you so sad."

Meanwhile, Glare beamed, having impressed Chromatus with his information, "Yup, very special duty for me."

Chimera decided to cut in, "So, does anyone have anything they want to talk about?"

(This is what happens when I leave roleplay for to long I get really lost)

"I call this Gehilts Map Pillar it had a unique touch to it so Brull let's see if I can find the map you need. oh and another sorry for the action with people I have a hard time having to doing my ditsy and atleast trying to help the castles problems."

"I failed everyone Valley, my mother, my fallen friends, all of my subjects, well... They're now my former subjects I guess" Kihei said

"Because instead of facing your problems you've been running away" Inferno said at the entrance of the tomb.

OoC: Chromatus was talking with Queen Chimera and Glare while Varedis was talking with Dusk and Speedy. Leo is pssd and is in some room in the castle, Brull is lost and is being shown round(I think) by Gehllter. Kihei is depressed so went to his mother's tomb, but Inferno, Valley and Navy followed him. Skyward is also in the castle but has stopped talking, Flurry was returning to the castle. Kihei left Impenji in the castle as well, so everyone except Isis is accounted for.

"Well, what are we going to do now?" asked Chromatus

Chimera tapped a claw on the ground, feeling bored, "I have no idea Chromatus, never been a queen before."

((Isis is with Flurry))

Kihei looked at the floor "What do you expect Inferno?! I didn't know about any of this until I was 15! I've watched my friends die in front of me! You think that I'm a coward, then fine! I don't need your approval!" He yelled before running to the end of the tomb and hitting a hidden switch, opening a staircase downward which he then went down, the wall closing behind him

Before the wall closed completely, Navy used his shadow powers to move to the other side and follow Kihei.

OoC: Oh yeah. I remember now, Varedis had gone to see them a page or so ago.

Just then there was a crash, as the rooms to the palace broke open, a spear of rock smashed open the doors and tails of shadow pulled away the shreds. There was smoke everywhere, there was a dragon in the middle of the smoke and it shouted, "DEMONS! There are demons in the West side of the City!"

Kihei walked down to a small room that had 2 machines, a healing station, and a suicide booth

Isis looked around "Flurry! We've gotta go!" She said as she pulled Flurry behind a building "Woah, you froze my hand... We'll deal with it later, hide"

Silon flew out of the castle and shot at demons with Darkness attacks

OoC: A SUICIDE BOOTH! WHAT KIND OF GRAVEYARD HAS A SUICIDE BOOTH?!?!?!?!

Varedis ran to the alarm and alarms blared out all over the city, he shouted into a voicebox that would project his voice over the whole city, "ALERT! ALERT! DEMONS AT THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY. ALL WHO ARE ABLE TO FIGHT PLEASE MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY. REPEAT. MAKE YOUR WAY TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE CITY. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. WE ARE UNDER ATTACK!"

The dragon in the smoke, walked forward in astonisment, he would know that voice anywhere, "Varedis..?" he asked, "Is that really you..?"

Varedis looked round at the dragon, it was older, more aged and with a touch of sadness in his eyes, but it was still unmistakeable, it was Nefarian. "NEFARIAN! What happened to you!"

Nefarian looked at him, "What happened to me? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU! Last I saw you, we were on a boat, then it was sunk and we all fell overboad. I see a flash of purple light and you guys dissapear. Then a vortex appears in the water and almost drowns me but when I escaped and the waters calmed down, I looked, i looked everywhere. Eventually, our adventure ended and I still looked for you, everywhere, over sea, under stone, EVERYWHERE. But you weren't ANYWHERE. I even went up to the great North and was frozen for six years up there until I was rescued. Then I gave up, I said to myself, 'If they've teleported off to hell, then sod it, it's their own fault. I found some of the people that had been with us in the Crown adventure and found out they lived here so I came, since it was lonely back on the Island with no-one around. And now you're here, how on Earth are you here?"


Chromatus replied, (He'd walked up to Varedis when Nefarian had started talking), "I'm sorry, Nefarian, it's all my fault. When we were sunk, we were pulled by some horrid sea creature down into the depths, so I did a Twilight Vortex to devour it. Yet in my fright, I made it too strong, and me and Varedis were also pulled into it, luckily, Varedis had his Channeler on him, and he used it so that when we were sucked into the Vortex, we weren't sent into the Chaos Dimension like the Fiend was, but we were sent forward through time to this place, we don't know why, but maybe it was because we knew that we'd be re-united with you here, for Varedis was thinking of you when he cast the spell."

Nefarian looked at them, "So, you had been to Hell after all, ha, if only I'd known, I would've frozen myself for 15 years and then I'd still be the same age as you guys. Instead I was frozen for 6 and aged for 9. What a pity"

Then they embraced, any anger dissapating in a second.

OoC: WOOHOO! Nefarian has returned!

Navy frowned as he walked up to Kihei, "What are you up to?"

Meanwhile, Chimera walked over to Nefarian, "Nice to see you've returned, my new friend here is Glare."

After Chimera heard the alarm, she looked at the assembled group of the throne room, "Well, if you want to fight, come on, let's go show this demon army why we won't lose." Chimera said encouragingly as she flew outside, with Glare right behind her.

"Demons!" Skyward growled. "Time to show Leo that just because I'm not really supposed to be special, I can still kick demon tail!"
