Rachel had finally made it. Countless teammates, 200 floors, and at least three names and now she was finally on the final test; passing this test meant that she could finally see the stars, a wish she had put above all else. But this test was different. This test was administered by Zahad himself. She had to take this test alone, she had left behind or killed any teammate she had while climbing the tower. Even FUG was completely destroyed by Baam years ago. She hadn't seen him since that day; she hoped only the worst for him as she walked through the doors and into the testing room. Inside sat Zahad. "Didn't expect to see you again" said Headon, or rather Zahad. "You-you're Zahad?!" Rachel couldn't believe that th one man who saw through her from the very beginning was here to judge her. Rachel knew she had been a wrong doer from the start and she knew how much Headon disliked her, why else would he give her such a difficult test right away.

"Of course I'm Zahad, weren't you paying attention when Horyang said that he met the true master of the tower? Remember who's picture was there? Mine."

"Well yeah but, I just thought that you were the true master of the tower because you were the one who decides who can make it to the floor of test."

"Yeah well you're an idiot. Regardless, I will allow you to take the the final test to get to the top of the tower." Answered Headon, thinking himself a fair and generous ruler. "Your task is..." He waited a moment to let the anticipation set, "to land a scratch on me!" He boomed out, knowing this task to be impossible for Rachel, who had only used others to get to this point.

Rachel didn't have a choice, she had to stand up and fight, for the first time in her life. She took a swing at Headon, he jumped back at lightning speed. She took another swing, he jumped back again, as if it was the easiest thing in the world. This continued for some time, Zahad never attacking, until Rachel finally gave up.

"I can't do this!" She cried. "I'll never be able to even touch you!"

"Try once more" Headon asked her. Rachel complied, and this time, he didn't step back. Rachel hit him full force with everything she had. It left a tiny, minuscule scratch on his face.

"You pass!" Zahad congratulated her, "well done! You have finished climbing the tower, now, what is your wish?" If Rachel was anybody else, she would have replied with something along the lines of "but you didn't even try" or "I didn't win," but Rachel was Rachel. She truly felt she deserved it.

"I wish to see the stars" she said simply.

"That's a stupid wish, but I'm not in the profession of judging wishes so your wish shall be granted." Headon replied. Then he told her somberly, "But you do know that no wish is free, don't you?"

Rachel didn't quite understand.

Zahad continued, "I let you win, you know that don't you?" Rachel nodded. "So," Headon went on, "you owe me something in return."

"What do you want?" Asked Rachel, scared that she would have to fight him again.

"Your eyes." Replied Headon simply. "Give me your eyes. Mine have never been much good."

Rachel screamed, but before she knew it, all she saw was black. She wasn't in pain, Headon didn't want her to be distracted from the fact that she was blind. "Come now, he told her, let's go see the stars, shall we?" He took her hand and practically dragged her up the final flight of stairs in the tower. They were on top of the tower now, it was just the roof per day and the endless sky, filled with beautiful, glowing stars.

But Rachel couldn't see. She was stuck in the black night she so desperately hated. Headon let go of her hand. He walked away. She was alone. Alone with nobody who cared for her, at the top of the tower, the stars that she couldn't see and the memory of a boy who cared for nothing except her.
