As dead as he was I brought him light! Please understand his death was extremely important to do what I must.

"Ares?"

"Yes overlander."

"Is this a dream, or have I finally gone crazy?" asked Gregor half joking

"No, you cannot understand now, but it will come to you soon." answered Ares stiffly

"Am I Dead already?" Asked Gregor wondering if this really was heaven. or hell for that matter.

"Wait!" said Ares perking his head up. "You are being summoned."

"Summoned? By who?" Asked Gregor

"The Living." Said Ares. He smiled "Goodbye." He said simply.

"Goodbye? Wait wher..." Then everything changed and he was on a giant stone tablet with people in Black armor and darkened silver weaponry all around him.

Then a moment later he realized the stone tablet was being held up by a fire.

But this fire was red like blood and .

Suddenly, the fire vanished and the tablet fell a short distance to the ground; about three feet

Gregor guessed. Then the people stood and one spoke; "Overlander!" he boomed.

"Me and my people have just summoned you from the spirit world!" thundered a voice

"In exchange for bringing you back from the Dead we ask a favor!" Gregor could see the man more clearly now; unlike the others he had a large spear on his back and very bulky black armor accompanied by tall golden shoulder pieces that pointed towards the cavern roof .

Gregor thought for a moment and said "What is this favor you ask of me?"

"Who greeted you in death and what did they say?" Said the man with the strange armor.

Gregor looked thoughtful for a moment and said "I met by my bond; Ares there, he told me to come with him, then he said I was being summoned by 'the living'.

There was a large commotion until the leader thundered "Silence!"

Then he turned to Gregor; "Ares the Flier?" he said.

"Yes Ares is my bond but he died when we fought the bane two years ago."

"Why do you ask?" Gregor questioned.

"Because the same flier saved us from a Gnawer ambush six years ago." he said

"I must speak with the twilight council on this matter." said the leader suddenly leaving.

"My bond Poseidon will take you to the borders of Regalia but must not be seen."

"So until we meet again which is inevitable, goodbye."

Gregor felt being lifted of the ground by a bat.

The bat was silver by torchlight but in the shadows appeared white in the darkness.

'finally' thought Gregor 'Home at last'.
