Lloyd stood outside of Doel's chamber looking at the gem that he had pulled form Albert's back. "The moon gem…was it worth it?" he closed his eyes. Was it worth getting, and hurting the one he loved? The door opened, and he pulled his hood up as he walked forward and placed the moon gem in his pocket.
"So how did it go?"
"Your nephew isn't dead," Lloyd said first, "and they are coming for you."
"So Fruegel failed?"
"Fruegel was merely a tool that had no purpose or power" Doel smiled as he rested his head against his hand, and look at Lloyd.
"You sound annoyed Lloyd. Did it not go as well as you thought?"
"It worked," he said turning from Doel and gripping the stone in his pocket.
"Is leave the girl at large a part of your plan then?"
"That is none of your business." Doel laughed and stood up.
"It doesn't matter, soon Serdio will be in the palm of my hand, and whatever you have up your sleeve will be complete."
"No…" Lloyd said turning his head slight to look back at Doel. "It's just the beginning." He laughed darkly as he walked away. "Try not to get burned when you get carried away."
"Nobody can stop me!"
"I wouldn't be too sure of that." Lloyd whispered as he left the throne room. "Dart will be the one who burns you."
Lloyd walked from the shadows to the pretty woman who was standing out on the balcony. They turned quickly and drew a dagger from their sleeve then stopped. "Oh! My love what are you doing here?" She said sliding the dagger back into her sleeve and walked forward. "I've been waiting for you."
"I only came to give you a warning," Lloyd said and he folded his arms making her stop. Her face was hard to see in the darkness. "Some acquaintances of mine well soon be paying a visit to the castle."
"Ooo."
"They will be trouble for you." He looked directly at her making her step back. "Lenus I want the Moon Dagger at any cost. If they discover you too soon I don't care what you do, kill the king for all I care I want that dagger."
"Trust me love I will get the Moon Dagger for you." She paused and tilted her head slightly. "Who exactly is the one that you know in the group?"
"The Red-Eyed Dragoon Lenus, your opposite." He unfolded his arms. "I will be waiting for you at the island and I expect you to have the Moon Dagger or you will be sorry." Lloyd stepped back and vanished into the shadows.
He appeared on the top of a dry cliff and looked down at the small camp. Lloyd watched and listened to what was going on.
"So Al's the King of Serdio and Dart is the awesome leader?!" The new girl laughed. "And Haschel is a teacher."
"And Meru is the dancer and Shana is the healer," Haschel chuckled. The old man sighed. "We'll get the dragoon back Dart." Dart said nothing and a knot tied in Lloyd's stomach. It was hard to see Dart in such a state of misery.
He backed away from the cliff and looked up at the Moon that Never Set. "Is…Is it really worth it? Creating a perfect world? To have it but hurt the one you love?" He stopped and let out a long sigh as there was no answer. "It's almost done… I have to chose soon…"
Lloyd looked down into the water from where he was standing to see the massive dragon swimming in the deep blue water below. "Regol being good?" Lenus said as she landed neatly a few feet from him. Lloyd turned. "I got you the Moon Dagger like you asked as I told you I would. Also I didn't kill the humans, like you asked me not to. Why?"
"Bloodshed creates anger and hate, which creates war." He took the Moon Dagger from her. "The other reasons are my own." He walked back to the edge and looked at Regol. Was this worth the aggravation? He thought as he looked at the dragon. No, Lenus wasn't worth it.
"Did you not think me capable of getting it?"
"I had my doubts." Lenus smiled slightly, and walked forward. "But them coming here is part of the plan."
"Your plan huh? Want to know what my plan is?" She grabbed him from behind, making his heart pulse with anger. How dare she lay her slimy hands on him! "To get a hot prize from you." There was a noise and Lenus broke away. "Hey you'll pay for your interruption."
"LLOYD! What are you doing here?" Dart blurted out. He spotted the Moon Dagger in his hand.
"He has the Moon Dagger." Rose told the group.
"Was this part of your plan?"
"My will is the will of Soa."
"Are you still going on about that shit?" Rose snared drawing he sword in a black flame.
"Your kill Lavitz, let us settle this now!" Albert said summoning his lance and pointing it at Lloyd. Lloyd smiled and shook his head.
"I have the calling to reform the world. I have no time to pay attention to little things, like Lavitz."
"LLOYD!" Dart's yell sent a cold chill through Lloyd's body.
"I CAN"T STAND THIS ANY MORE!" Lenus yelled.
"It was I who torched your home to the ground. I am the one who deprived your friend of his life. I hold both the Moon Gem and the Moon Dagger in my hands! You hate me don't you?" There was a cold silence. "I'm heading to Mille Seseau, pursue me if you dare." Lloyd vanished at the yells.
"Easy, easy. Wait a minute!" Lenus said blocking their way out. "It was nice for him to give you an invitation, but you will have to decline it.!" A blue light encased her then faded revealing the blue armor that barely covered her body. She raised her chakrams, and smiled. "Because you will all die right here!"
Veroxen: Sorry for the wait…for anyone who cares. It turns out that I had a Chem lab report due this week so I spent my time trying to do that. This was more with Lloyd, not much to tell really. We'll be back with Dart for the next chapter and it will get more into his feelings. :(( Poor Dart.
Anyways I don't own Legend Of Dragoon…if I did I would be poisoning pigeons in the park with Al . Don't ask.
