Notes: from the perspective of the X/1999 people.

The 14-x/1999 members walked into the cave awkwardly. What they saw though was breathtaking. There were arches and domes and chairs and tables all in old gothic renascence done in shades of black and deep rich red. Candles were set everywhere giving it a rich glow-like look. But the thing that was probably most breathtaking was the inhumane beauty chained between two hard rock pillars. It was a small, slender, Pale, male body. Stark naked except for the flowing black clothe around his waist. He had a short small pointed chin and slightly pointed ears. Big innocent green eyes hidden beneath closed pale eyelids and thick black eyelashes. Those naturally were curved. A small mouth with pearly white teeth and lips that were a full blood red color. His most feminine mark though was the long silky green waves of hair that fell down his back to his thighs. Around the mans body was a silver chain that wrapped itself around him, sustaining him, and stretched out onto and around the two pillars. Et it all seemed to in a frozen state as though it bespoke a twisted fairytale. And at the base of the 20-foot drop from the chains stood a tall figure. Wearing a robe of black with long slightly wavy black hair down to his knees he would seem easy to miss. Yet he had the pales of skin and blood red eyes. High cheekbones and a lean muscular-ness. As he moved from one position to a slightly different position to look at the chained captive, they noticed that his boots didn't make the slightest whisper. From the movement the four men that they had accompanied seemed to freeze.

The young man that had been chained to the pillars in a state of silent agony seemed to suddenly come to life once the mysterious man in the black robe waved his hand. As though he had taken off an incantation. They saw that on his long pale hands there was a red witch's symbol the glowed when he had waved his hand.

The man chained to the pillars squeezed his eyes shut and seemed to be fighting off something. The chains that had also seemed to come to life and had began to move like a serpent over the younger mans body sliding first one way, ans then the other as though not quite sure which way to go. Yet just then the boy gave a sweet musical sigh and opened his eyes his body no longer fighting an invisible force. The chains swirled back towards the young man as if deciding to still keep him captive. The boy's large green eyes staring defiantly into the others red ones and glaring at him. The other had just looked up and smile a smile that was more a smirk and looked triumphantly at the boy in front of im chained to the pillars having won the battle of wills. He was clearly pleased with himself and didn't have a problem showing it. Casually he brushed back a lock of ravens black hair and nodded to himself as if deciding something internal. His face took on the look of cold casualness and he turned to stare at his 'guests'. His presence a foreboding and forbidding wave of nausea that passed through the body leaving it cold.

"Noooo! Andromeda! What have you done to my brother you monster!" cried out the phoenix knight. He fell to his knee's and stared up at his little brother who by now had just given up on trying to block all the powerful spells that kept pounding down on him. The blond haired Russian swan knight's gauntlet was clenched and he was busy staring up at the chained man. The Chinese dragon knight was busy holding the phoenix knight down with the help of the Pegasus knight.

Everyone else could only state in shock at what they saw. It was amazing, no that had to be an understatement. But it was so unbelievable that they couldn't think of it as anything else.
