My name is Ashton Moon and I am 16, have straight red hair that goes to my shoulders with my bangs going in front of my left eye, ice blue eyes, and tan skin. I wear a black tank, dark blue skinny jeans, and black and blue converse. I had my bangs pinned back with two dark blue clips and I was wearing the Oricalcose Stone around my left wrist in a bracelet. I also wore earrings that were black hoops and I wore a necklace that my mother gave me…...when she was alive. It was a silver chocker that had a crescent moon for a pendent, but the pendent also held a beautiful sapphire gem that sparkled. It brought back bad memories, but I wore it no matter what…it was my good luck charm.

I gave up my whole world to revive the Leviathan. I also never knew what it was like to have a family until Dartz came and offered me the family I always wanted. He said all I had to do was pass my test, which was to grab the stone. So I grabbed it and I also got the Seal of Oricalcose. So I have also been giving the Great Leviathan souls so he can return and destroy the world and make it perfect like it was when the City of Atlantis was still here.

Now I am going back to Lord Dartz.

"Hello, Milord." I say bowing.

"Ashton, welcome home. I have seen your progress. You have been giving many souls to the Great Leviathan. You will be rewarded when he arrives." says Lord Dartz.

"Thank you, Milord. I will take my reward with great respect and I will happily except it." I say. "Now, I will go find more souls for you, Milord."

As I said that I got up and turned to walk out, but I froze when Master Dartz said this. "Don't fail me, Ashton."

"I never have…" I say leaving him to his thoughts.

Then as I am walking out I run into Mai Valentine. The new recruit that gave up her weak soul for power. Like she needed it… I HATED HER!

"Watch where your going!" she says at me angrily.

"No, watch where your going!" I say back in a growl.

"Why should I listen to you?" she growls at me.

"I've been with Master Dartz longer than you." I say growling.

That's when we are about to get into a fight and then we hear a voice, so we turn our heads to see Raphael standing there.

"Stop it, Ashton and Mai." he says to us.

"No!" says Mai. "She started it!"

"ARE WE IN PRESCHOOL, NOW! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" I yell.

Then I feel someone grab me and I turn to see Alistair holding me back from killing Mai. Then I see Valen holding back Mai. OH! HE LIKES HER! HE NEVER LIKED ME THE WAY I LIKED HIM! I just got out of Alistair's grip and huffed in annoyance.

"You brat!" said Mai to me.

I turned and faced her. "Don't. Call. Me. A. Brat. You annoying blonde!" I say through gritted teeth.

She looked like she was about to strangle me…. I couldn't blame her!

I just growled under my breath at her and she could see that I was angry.

"ENOUGH!" yelled a powerful voice that I knew so well. Dartz…

I turned around and looked at him in disbelief.

His gold and blue eyes were on me in seconds. HE BLAMED ME!

I swear I felt my temperature go from normal to boiling in record timing. I was peeved beyond reasoning and I saw that Raphael and Alistair knew it as well.

"YOU BLAME ME! JUST BECAUSE I AM THE YOUNGEST HERE!" I yelled, but it came out a shriek so powerful that I heard one of the pillars crack. Never mess with a psychic! OH! I am psychic as well!

I saw Alistair, Raphael, and Valen flinch, but Mai just stood there looking at me like I had something she wanted. But Dartz on the other hand didn't even acknowledge the fact I could destroy this place if he got me too angry.

"Stay calm, Ashton." he just simply said to me like I was a child needing taught a lesson!

My temperature skyrocketed from then and I heard the pillar that cracked earlier crack completely and come off itself and fall to the floor in pieces and as dust flew around the room.

"I'm getting out of here! I'll come see you when I know that I am not going to be treated like a child!" I say to Dartz. "But I will still collect souls for you…"

With that said I activated my duel disk. "Come forth, Black Rose Dragon!" I yell and my dragon appears in her beauty and power. Then I turn to her and she leans her head down for me to touch her. "Get me out of her Black Rose." I say to her and she sees the silent tears falling from my ice blue eyes. She roars in approval and grabs me putting me on her back and flies right out the top of the city that had been lost for so long.

As she flies over the city I recall all of my old life. When I was little and my mother was still alive. I never had a father because he was never there, but the only time I saw him….was at his funeral when I was only five. He had died from being shot by a gunman. I wasn't sad at all because I never knew the man and I knew he never liked me because he always wanted a son and my mother told me that when he found out that I had "special powers" is what she called them when I was only 5 months old he never wanted to see me or know me even. He was a jerk in my opinion! He never wanted to know his only child! Tears fell down my face as I remembered the day I saw him for the first time and the last time ever.

He had been lain in the coffin carefully and he had my red hair, but I never saw his eyes because they were closed and I knew that my eyes were my mothers because she had the most beautiful golden blonde hair that had perfect ringlets and she had her gorgeous ice blue eyes. I always wondered why I looked like my father more than my mother because I always wanted to look just as perfect as my mother. She was gorgeous and always had a smile on her face hiding all of the bad from the world from my innocent eyes. I would always laugh and smile back then, but when she was killed by a drunk driver when I was 8 years old the whole world showed itself to me. It was a bad world full of danger and bad people that I had never seen because I was protected by my mother from seeing it. But I had trouble remembering her sometimes. Her laugh, her smile so white that you would think it was a beautiful diamond, and her hugging me, while reading me bedtime stories that were always popping up in my head. The only thing I could not remember right was her saying my name or hearing her voice or her lecturing me. I could never remember it and it was fading just like everything from my life.

Tears fell from my eyes remembering all that had passed leaving me to suffer…

I wished that I could see my mother one last time when I was 12, but I never did. But I heard her voice in my ear. She said only three words that brought me to tears in seconds.

"I love you…" was all I heard as her voice faded away never to be heard again.

That was when I had vowed to avenge my mothers death. The drunk driver had survived all these years not being put in jail for killing an innocent women.

After I met Dartz and he gave me the power to avenge her a year ago I had done just that…

But I did not just make him pay…. I took his soul.

I had been happy that I had done it. I held no pity toward him and I never will for as long as I live. I will never forgive that man! He ruined my life!

As I recalled all that I cried in silence, but I also smiled smugly.

My new family understood my feelings toward him and they had supported me. As I thought about this I had the slightest want to go back and explain to Dartz, but deep down I didn't want to face his judgment…

So I just relaxed as Black Rose flew around knowing that I would need time and peace from that place…
