Now that I know that I'm without You can't just leave me Breathe into me and make me real Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch, without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

All this time I can't believe I couldn't see Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems Got to open my eyes to everything Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul Don't let me die here There must be something more Bring me to life

[Bring me to life] I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside [Bring me to life]

Chapter 1: The Peaceful Life

Dragoness, Nimbulo, and Lavitz stepped foot in Bale. Indel's Castle was visible from the entrance of the city, and that was their destination. Without a King, what was the city of Bale to do? There was no government, no order. Lavitz had to deliver the news. But first priority was to sleep, so they headed right and walked in quietly to Lavitz's house.

Lavitz's mother had passed away after Melbu Frahma was defeated, and Lavitz took it personally. Nobody was to mention the death. Dragoness took the couch because he didn't really care. Nimbulo followed Lavitz upstairs to the gust bedroom. Lavitz proceeded to his own.

Bale was quiet at night. There was the occasional yell from the bar but that was all. Children were quietly sleeping. Adults were cuddling. The guards of the castle stood inside the doorway, not wanting to go out.

But the real action was underneath Bale. A small boat creaked up to the docks. The passenger inside wore a death black cloak, covering everything. You could see nothing on the man. His boat stopped on the sandy docks. The figure got out of his boat slowly but surely.

It climbed up the ladder and soon saw a light ahead of him. He heard a man, but nobody else. This man must have been drunk. This man would be dead though in about two seconds. The figure walked up silently behind the drunk, and cracked his neck. Then, with the same hand, broke the light. Everything was now dark in Bale.

Dart tossed and turned in his sleep. He hadn't had a good night's rest since they stayed at White Palace in Orth. He missed Bejong and Jade already. Dart got up. He was restless so he went into the small kitchen in his Seles home. He grabbed a glass and filled it with water. Instead of drinking it, he poured it on his face. Quietly, he then grabbed his red armor and some clothes and boots and went outside. He slipped back inside for a second and grabbed his Dragoon Spirit. It wasn't the same though. The Dark Dragoon Spirit and Red-Eye had later defused after he had set foot in Seles. He took the Red-Eye outside.

The familiar red flames engulfed his body. The flames grew white hot and formed the armor as the Spirit embedded itself into his chest and turned a shade of green to go against the red. His sword was transformed to the usual, as it had been before. Lighter, and with the red hilt nobody forgot.

"Why does my Spirit still work?" he queried aloud

He flew into the woods, the magic trailing him. Dart found his same clearing that he always went to for training. The grass was burned here, and that was his cause. Dart liked to practice here, by himself.

He stuck out his arm. A long line of flame protruded from it and he used it as a whip sort of. It flew with itself, its tail following the same path as the head. Dart thought back from his days in Orth. When he thought badly sometimes, he never really did check to see if Omega was really dead. He could've faked the death.

Then he thought of the good things to come. It had only been a couple days since they all had returned. Dart had still to marry Shana, and he was going to tomorrow. Shana had been gotten pregnant. Dart had been the cause of this too.

He stopped his training. He felt odd out here alone. From what he had learned, you were never alone. Anywhere. With this thought in mind, he flew back home and into bed.

***

Meru landed, alone. It was just her and Donau. She stepped into the flower city. Immediately, she had a smile on her face as she saw the life the place held. Although it was night, her Spirit shone like it was day. She was once again in her dancer's uniform.

The Blue-Sea Dragoon walked to her small home. It was near the port, overlooking the ocean. The Queen Fury wasn't docked. From her window, she could see this. From the window overlooking the city, all was quiet as she saw.

Meru remembered the peace that Donau once had. She remembered the good times when she was only little and had as much fun as she could. But that wasn't here, in this human city. The visions of her memory were in her forest, where the Winglies lived. She remembered the day she was kicked out.

--Flashback-

"No! I'm not gonna listen to you anymore! I want out! I want to see the world! Not just these same trees and stuff!" she yelled

"Meru, you don't know what you're saying. The human's are dangerous" her mother pleaded

"Mom! What happened 11,000 years ago was 11,000 years ago! Who CARES!"

"Honey, don't stop her. Let her go. I have diminished my love for her" her father stated "Good bye Meru"

"Fine! You know what! I'll show you all! I'll come back one day!"

--End flashback-

She still hadn't had that day.

*** The first warm rays of the sun peeked over the horizon, lighting the grass wet with dew. Dart was already outside. He stood cross-armed, red armor on with a mug of tea in his hand. He used it to wake up.

A couple of hours later, Shana awoke also. She was used to Dart not in the bed. Dart suddenly walked inside, as Shana had heard. Then, the same steps came into the bedroom.

"Shana, it's been a long time we've known each other. We've just been friends. But everyday my love has grown. Will you marry me?"

"Of course I will, Dart"

Shana and Dart Feld walked outside together to begin their morning sparring match. Dart was struck with opposition though.

"Shana, you're pregnant. I can't let you do this"

She understood his comment. Shana walked back into the house and lay down. He was right. She was indeed pregnant.

"I guess I'll go to Bale then" Dart stated

"Okay. I'll be here" she sounded depressed.

"I'm sorry. I have to stay in shape"

"I know. Just go" Shana said

He grabbed the Red-Eye Dragoon Spirit and walked out the front door. Like the night before, the flames made his armor. Dart took off with speed, not even looking back.

He could see Bale within two hours of a walk. One hour with flight. He landed in the vicinity of the capital city. Dart de-transformed and walked into the central plaza that was full of life. Then, he remembered Lavitz's house was to the right, not left. He retraced his steps and went back to the right. There was a commotion by the fountain and he turned to see it.

Almost immediately, a black cloaked figure knocked him off guard. Dart was rewarded with a hiss like 'excuse me'. He shrugged it off, not caring.

There was no answer at Lavitz's door. So he transformed, and flew to the castle. He landed at the front steps. Where again, he saw the cloaked figure. It was ascending up the steps. Dart had a funny feeling about this character. He followed slowly.

The figure suddenly vanished in a puff of smoke as it reached the locked front door. Dart burst in it instead. He saw the figure ascending even more steps. Dart hid behind a display case. The figure sped up now, and so did Dart.

Next, it reached the main hallway, where Minister Noish's room was on one side, and Albert's room on the other. The figure took a quick left and placed his hand on the door handle. Dart's voice stopped him.

"Hey! I'm surprised nobody has stopped you. Look's like I'll have to do it myself" Dart said while drawing his blade.

The figure gave no reply, and just simply turned around. Dart still couldn't make of what it was. The cloak was still on. Dart hesitated on transforming, he didn't want to scare the thing too quickly, and if it was weak, then he didn't want to use his magic.

His thinking was cut off as the thing threw a throwing star at him that sent Dart flying. He was stuck to the wall. The figure advanced.

DDX- Dun! Dun! Dun! Well folks. Here we are. The sequel. Get ready cause I guarantee that is this going to be twice as long as The Darkness of Evil.
