In the dark colored sand pored, she felt like cracking just like dried out sand would. It seemed to come all together, she was never meant to stay long, just to see what could have been. The faces that worked so long to make a perfect weapon flashed in her mind. The injections of magic and the cold steel touching her un-revived body. It all seemed so close again. The green liquid witch consumed her body for years seemed to show its self again. The feeling of blood first flowing through her lifeless body came back and all she could do was remember. When will it become more than the past? When will she have a real future? She always thought as every little thing happened to her. It all seemed so fake now. Was she really dead? Was it really all over, will she never continue her adventures with her two friends? Was that really it? Was Faith Sage really no more, brought down by her own magic?

A soft touch ran over the crack on her face. The soft touch was warm and conferring. To her own disbelief she opened her eyes to Daxter touching the crack on face. She rolled her eyes over to him and smiled faintly, feeling the blood pool around her. After a moment she realized that all the thoughts she had didn't even last a minute. Looking up best she could the room was empty other than two of them. Resisting her bodies will she made it to her feet. Stumbling a bit she could feel the blood dripping out of the wound in her chest. Cringing a little Daxter tugged on her pant leg gently. Looking down she again smiled but this smile was filled with gilt.

She turned her attention to the end of the hall were the same actions were taken, Jak had rushed Errol in to a small quarrel compared to what she was about to do. Faith's look quickly turned to anger as her black wings emerged and metal, silver claws appeared. She pulled out her swords again making them bigger with energy. As she made her way down the hall the colored energy witch escaped her body changed as so did her appearance. Soon her skin was no longer ash white it had turned black, she stopped slightly as her entire body was engulfed in black, she looked like a filled in outline with piercing red eyes and double wings of razors. The swords soon melted into her skin making small spikes appear going down her back and dragon like tail.

Daxter looked on in fear as the dark side of Faith evolved into something much more than comprehended.

A twisting black ball of energy shot through the air between the two humans. Errol shot his glance down the hall locking his eyes on the demon. Jak took his chance and charged Errol but was quickly shot to the wall by pure black energy restraints. The new demon walked into the large court room glaring at Errol. In a grumbled voice the demon began to speak with out a mouth.

"Errol, leave and I won't kill you."

He laughed at the demon despite his fear for his life.

"You're pathetic, you're trying to look strong but look at your self, your shaking like a leaf. Fine if it's that way, I'll give you the same treatment as back home,"

The Demon made its way over to the still somewhat trembling Errol.

"No mercy."

The demon stood clear over him, she pulled back as if to strike him down but stopped when Errol pulled out a light stone, witch was once Faith's. The demon stopped it had seemed frozen until it began to laugh hysterically.

"You think a human can control those stones? Pathetic." The Demon quickly struck Errol to the ground taking all the stones of magic, then shooting her glace to the Barron wielding a special gun.

"Just one shot of this will pierce any metal and anything else is put up to it!" The Barron roared at the Demon strutting closer to the Barron.

He let off one shot and it went clear through the chest of the Demon, but she didn't flinch. The darkness that surrounded the body of Faith stitched up the hole. The eyes of the demon narrowed to a brilliant red as black began to engulf the Barron and Errol.

"This should take you two out." The demon roared.

After a moment of fighting off the darkness Errol loaded his gun with a light crystal shooting it through the chest of the Demon again. This time it seemed to have worked the darkness that engulfed Errol and the Barron did not kill them but take them to inside the palace of Haven City.

The Darkness of the demon began to fade off her body but before it was all gone she released the rope restraints on Jak. The darkness had totally disappeared and the three holes that were taken on her body appeared again. Falling to her knees holding the bullet holes she managed to say something through all the gasps of pain.

"If I get my love stone I can be able to heal you both."

Daxter walked up to Faith pushing the cloth hard against the holes in her torso.

"Faith, you shouldn't worry about us, were fine, we need to get you your health first. There's two tunnels left can you make it?"

She nodded as she stumbled to her feet making it over to one of the tunnels. Looking down the tunnel she noticed it seemed shorter. As they walked down the appearing short tunnel the sound of blood hitting the ground came from more than her. Glancing over she noticed that the dark restraints had burned through Jak's skin but didn't seer the wounds not to bleed. Looking back a wall had stopped the tunnel like she thought.

"Not this again…" Daxter mumbled.

"It's not, this wall is solid all the way through." Faith said knocking on it.

She began to push at the wall on every stone soon finding one that pushed in slightly.

"Ahh Haa!" She peeped as it rumbled going in.

It was silent as nothing happened. She stepped back slightly tripping over a stone that was now sticking up, and falling into the floor that was cloaked hiding a slope of stone. As she fell she griped the other two by the collar pulling them with her.
