The first one to step off the train and was still mad at her team mates was Lucy. The play ended in a other failure and half of her jewels where gone. To pay for damages to the set that Natsu caused. Right now, she didn't care to look his way. No matter now much apologizing he would do, it will not make her feel better. Mr. Vanderbelt kick them out of the theatre after the set caught on fire by dragons flame. To douse them out, Juiva used her water spells. There was no way the set could be use for a other performance.

They gather there luggage and make their way out of the train station. Lucy head straight for home. Natsu follow her with Happy again to say sorry, and Juiva wanted to grab onto Gray. He didn't want her annoyance and quickly head for his place. As he took off, Juiva scurried to hide behind building walls to stalk him. All he wanted to do, was drop his stuff at home and begin his search of someone. A whole week went by for him to to see her or talk to her. Has there been any changes to her personality. Is she smiling or laughing yet, or is more so of the same. For him to know for sure, he had find her.

"In what places could she be at?"

Picking up speed in his feet when he reaches his home. Opening up the door to his place and throwing his bag inside. Then locking the door, he turns and runs towards the guild. His first stop and crossing his fingers that she will be there. "Little one can't wait to see you!"

The start to her early morning routine had found her outside of the city. Taken the path that her and Wendy were on the day before. No sleep had come to her last night and by the time the sun was up, her day started. Jellal heard her leave her bedroom and go down the stairs. Got out of bed to see what she is up too.

Walking past her room he notice the bed was not even touch. It worried him more and more that Amber wasn't getting enough rest. Feared her body might fail her. It is a big brother's job to see to her health. The food at supper the previous night had her eaten less then half. Now as he walk down the stairs to see her putting on her shoes, he will tell his thoughts

"Where are you going?"

Looking up from putting on one shoe and grabbing the other one to pull back the tongue to let her other foot slip on in. "Heading out." Tying up the laces into a bow and standing up to strap the sword to her back.

"It's not even 6 am, why not rest some more."

"No, going to train."

"Train?"

"Yeah, keep my skills at a ready. Can't be a slump if something were to happen. The Knights are still in town."

"Amber, I think you need to sleep more. You aren't eating and can tell how tired you are. I don't want you to get hurt from the lack of strength."

"I can handle it. I have train and study plenty at home. This is nothing new to me."

"So no sleep and eating is what you did in other world? I don't so. You are pulling yourself along. Something is bothering you, this can't be who you are. As the head of the family I say go back to bed." Jellal takes the final step and walks over to her and puts a hand on top of her head. "Can train later."

"No."

"Amber!"

Taking his hand off her head and not bothering to look up at him. "I can't sleep. If I do, I dream of them. I dream of their deaths." Tears fall from her eyes and she brush them away. "The images I see are my nightmares. Helix had no remorse, did not care who he slaughter. My family and I stood in his way. One by one we fall, how can I sleep and dream of something good, when I have lost all the good that I have known." Turning around she puts her hand on the door knob, ready to open it. "I know you want me to try to be the sister you think I am. I am a empty sole, who may never fill up the void to be hole."

Standing there, looking at the close door. There was nothing he could say. What is eating at her heart is bigger then he can grasp. They have dealt with a lot of sorrow in their lives from a young age. Jellal is unsure of what he can do to help her. Heading back up the stairs to his room, he gets stop by his twin who is leading against the wall.

"A sole she has brother, but someone has to reach her heart to pull it out."

"Who Mystogan?"

"Someone that loves her more then we do."

Running into the guild from the open doors and looking around to see if he can spot her anywhere. There was no sign of her at the bar counter, the table that his team sits in or at the mission board. Gray does see the younger twin talking to Mira and ordering something off the menu. Going past the tables and standing right next to him, and tapping on his shoulder. "Where is she?"

"Before you question someone, don't you want to give a proper greeting. Is more respectful to your older peers."

"I got off the train, came here, see she isn't and saw you."

Shaking his head and putting down the menu to look at the devil slayer. The teen is strong in his own right, but that didn't brew well for Mystogan. Thinking back on how his little sister was always looking in his direction. Follow him with her eyes when ever he came into the guild. When he spoke to her, her eyes light up. I didn't take long for the brother to figure out that their Amber had crush on him. But Gray was to oblivious to see it. Now that he is older, and so is the Amber that is here now. Would she fall for him too?

"I am waiting on a hello?"

"Fine hello, now where is she?"

Sighing, and rolling his eyes. This is how he is treated by the younger teens. At lest they make for it in battles. "If you are so bent on knowing where she is. Why not look for her yourself. I don't have to tell you anything."

"You live with her, why can't you say anything?"

"As a her older brother, I look out for her well being, that includes you. Now I want to go back to ordering my food."

"You know Mystogan. Amber doesn't like this side of you, never have. You are usually the nice twin."

"Things are different now. Taking more of a bigger role then before."

"You are stepping over your bounds as brother and having a complex."

"I am being protective and shielding her from guys that don't need to get close."

"I am friend."

"You are guy."

Mira was watching these two beaker over Amber and she isn't even here witness it. The mage could understand Mystogan point of view. Being the oldest sibling herself, but there had to be some lead way when it comes to the opposite sex. Seeing how Gray was not going to back down, she was going settle things for the twin.

"If you want to know where she is Gray. Mystogan said she is out training, left early this morning."

"Thanks Mira. Do you know where she went too?"

"No, but if this Amber is like the other one. There is one place she will go too."

"Right, the south gate. I'll head there now."

"Remember Gray got to call her..."

"Yes, Angel. I haven't forgotten." Waves bye to the two older teens and runs out into the street. Almost knocking down a street vendor that was pulling his cart behind him. Rise up his fist at him before he ran out of sight.

"Mira! Why?"

"As you said earlier Mystogan someone has to reach her heart. If it can't be brotherly love, maybe it comes from ones true love."

"Him?" Points with his finger to outside doors. Where no presence of Gray was, he more then likely he was half way down the street already. Going to the one spot she frequent to train as hard as humanly possible. All of her efforts did not make her magic grow.

"Allow the fates to guide them."

"Like hell!"

Breathing in deep and releasing it slow and gathering her magic into her sword. Bringing the sword close to her and slashing it vertical as a slice of snow cuts through a tree. It wasn't wide enough to have it fall on her, but it did break into two and it slide down onto the ground. Can feel the beads of sweat from her face. Her consternation was good, more improvement needed with her new sword. Working with something which was different then the one she had. The training progressed well and her body moved smooth. Picturing the enemies in front of her and using her skills to full capacity. Slashing away at the shadows and kicking high into the air to fall back down on her feet again to do a other move. This is part of who is really is, to take stance on the prevails of the unknown. For what she trains herself to do today, then tomorrow could face a battle. A battle could happen sooner then later.

Can sense him near by since she left the city. Not far from the south gate she was, it didn't help to be spied on. Acting as a other and not of herself is so troublesome. Stopping in mid stride and lowering her sword and looking at small creak bed. Didn't take a water bottle with her. Mouth felt very dry and need to drink some fluid. Holding onto her sword she walks forward to kneel at the water stream. Touching the tips with her fingers, it was cold to the touch. Like her snow magic. The sword goes beside her and she cups her hands together and dips into the water. Brings some up to her mouth to drink. "Cold."

Across the creak from her was a baby deer grazing with it's mother. The fawn wanted a drink too, and the mother watched on. "Thirsty are you?" Didn't want to frighten them off, but stayed still. "Glad you are with your mom. I have no more family." The small deer looked up at her with his brown eyes. Could tell she was hurting and unable to help. A small noise from him she could hear. "Thanks, you should go." Wanders back over to his mother and they both look at her before jumping over a bush and staying some place safe.

A other taste of the water and wiping her mouth on her arm. Then standing back up and turning her head slightly to the side. "You know it's not nice to peek on a women while she is alone. Give you a bad reputation as a peeking tom." Hearing a tree branch break underneath his foot as he makes his way out. Thought for sure she couldn't tell he was there. For days he has been following her.

"If you are wondering how I know. I am no fool to think that I can't tell when I am being watched."

"Perspective of you."

"Experience."

"Why bring me out now?"

"Better to drag you out into the light then have you in the dark."

"When did you know?"

"Saw you in the crowd in market, when I was with Wendy."

"Did she know?" Mest had a softy spot for the Wind dragon. Didn't want to put her in harms way. At that time he was paired with her and didn't act like himself. Following close behind them made his heart thump thinking he would get caught. Not by Angel, but by her.

"If she did, did not let on." Bending down to pick up her sword and put it back into the sheath at her back. Then walking over to a huge bolder that laid her hoodie jacket on. It was getting very warm with her wearing it. Today she wore red shirt and blue pants. The other day she bought a new pair of shoes. This training was working them in too. "I should be asking you, why follow me?"

"Order from Lahar. Hope to believe you are who you say you are."

"Uhhhh, the Master give you that answer." Her hair has not change back from when she started training. Her eyes are dark blue and hair as white as snow. First time for Mest to glimpse something like this. Knowing what Amber could do. Very impress with what he saw. This small mage had power that some may think it's to much for her.

"You are different from your sister Angel."

"Yes I am."

"Sorry to hear of her passing. Me and Lahar attended her funeral."

"You came despite what you did."

"I may not be of Fairy Tail anymore, but Amber was gentle girl. Sought to forgive then to banish me like the rest."

"It best to look at the short comings, then have everything fester. You were following orders, nothing more."

"Curious how you would know of what I did?" Can't very well tell him the truth of what she knows or if it's the same as in her world. When it happen, Amber was only 9 at the time. Guild was in up roar over his wiping the memories of the members. Vaguely can she recall of him changing her mind too. Put him into her memories thinking he was part of fairy tail. When the truth came out. There was nothing to change what he done. Like a spell it was gone in matter of time.

"Jellal and others told me. I ask about stories of my sister wanted to know what she was like."

"Fair enough."

Mest moves closer to her and looks down at her. Thinking back to how little Amber was, this teen in front of him didn't sprout as much either. Reaching his hand out to touch her hair, still can't believe the change in colour. His hand couldn't go any further. A layer of ice had started at his feet and climb all the way up to arm. "Don't you dare touch her!"

Moving his head to see the person to come into his view and steps right beside Amber. Making sure she is unharmed from him? Can tell by the look in his eyes that laying a hand on her was off limits. Amber didn't hear or take notice of someone coming. Seeing Gray at her side for the first time in a week. "Angel, little one are you alright?"

"Uncle...I mean Gray.. Can't you not."

"Are you alright!?"

"Yes, can take him on my own if need be."

"He got to close to you and you did nothing."

"We were having a simple conversation. I was letting him know, that I knew he was following me."

"Following you?"

"It was order he was given by Lahar, doing his job he was."

"Now I am here, he can go back where he came from."

"How can he do that when you froze him."

"He is not getting near you, he could mess with your memories."

"I am fine to deal with him on my own. I have magic and spells."

As he was in case with ice he watch the interaction with these too. Seeing Gray being the protector and watching her trying to gain the upper hand. Amber could never win in a fight with Gray. Always had her running off before he could say sorry to her. This wasn't Amber, it was her sister, but it was looking in a mirror and nothing wasn't at all different. There was one thing he did take notice of...Why did she say Uncle to start?

"You know, you could release me and I can leave. There is no point to me in watching her now since I been caught in the act."

"There is no guarantee that you will come near her again."

"As I see it Gray, doubt you will allow me."

"You bet I won't."

"Then let me say this, it might change your option on me. If It's not me tailing her, it will be Lahar. We both know how he likes to deal with things. I am the better choice. I am not after Fairy Tail. Not like I once was, you have to believe me."

"Our Master may have accepted what you did and considers you one of us. I am far from seeing that."

"What will it take?"

"Asking me to trust you?"

"Why not?"

Since the attention was off her and they continue on with their little scrabble. Amber choose this moment to pick up her things. There are other places she can train. It wasn't even mid day yet and she wanted to get in a few more hours. Moving past the two argumentative teens and takes the path that goes higher up. There was a look out not to far from where they were. It will give a nice area to train and more open. No trees to slash her sword at, but can move body for attacks. "See no differences up here. I can do back flips from here to there."

Finding a place to put down her jacket and start where she left off. The other two still fighting on what happen in the past. Either one try to get in the last say. It was a futile, they could do this for hours. Mest was doing his job, and Gray was looking out for her. If was anybody else from the guild he would do the same thing. Kind of shutter at the thought of helping out Juiva if she was in a pinch. A member she was, yet not someone he saw being with.

"Mest stay away from her."

"I have my orders Gray. Stand down."

"No way! Lets go at here and now."

"Then un spell me."

"Fine by me." In instant his shirt comes flying off him and flutters into the air before sailing a few feet into the grass. Unfreezes Mest from his ice and he was ready to take him on. "Angel get behind me." Turning his head to see her and sees she is gone. "Where is she?" Looking all around him and there no sign of her anywhere. "She was just here."

"Must still be here. She didn't go past me to go down the hill." Gray looks at the path and sees foot prints in the dirt. Sure enough she went up. How he was so absorb about to go in heated battle with Mest. Here she was already gone from his eyes. "You should have froze her instead, didn't even get faze by us. Really different from her sister."

"Not that different, still runs and hides." Gray starts walking up the path, leaving Mest to do what he wants. If he sees him coming a inch of her, ice wouldn't be his only problem. His two fists he will see first. "Why walk away Amber?"

A bird flew past Mest and watches were it goes, lands on near by branch that supported a nest. A mother jaybird brought home food for her babies. Each one was getting a turn to be fed. Spring it was, new life and new beginnings. "I guess I should go back." Lahar did warn him not be seen by Angel. The distance he had went flying when he saw her training. Like a bird she was, graceful, light as feather with her moves and touch the ground so gently. There was something very distinctive about her. He felt also she was holding back too. "What are you hiding Angel, and why would you call Gray, Uncle?"

Following her tracks any one would think a small child was up here by the size of their feet. Shoes size wasn't any bigger then her what she was in inches. Getting closer to where she was and witnessing the first time of her training. His eyes were glue to her, each movement was captivating, he could tell that the older Erza had train her. Saw some of the same moves she uses, and there was a little bit of Natsu and him as well. Remember she told them that Erza was her teacher in swords and her uncles taught her how to fight. "Incredible."

Not realizing that he spoken out loud, a forward snow slash comes at him and he jumps out of the way. Amber lands on her feet and looks towards where he is. "A young women like myself doesn't need a audience or a chaperone." Lowers the sword to her side and waits for him to step out. Holding out his hands in front of him in offering of peace.

"I didn't mean to stand back and watch you. I have never seen you do something like this before."

"Keep forgetting I am not her."

"Sorry I know that, and yet you two are so similar in ways and contrasting in others."

"All in magic power Gray. She had very little compare to me. I on par with Jellal and Mystogan. For who I face, and what you presume, I am not weak to take on. Years I have train, gain through my abilities to be even with those that seek to threaten others."

"You learn at a young age, you have said."

"At age six. I use my magic before then. Created my first snowball in my hand." Lifting up her left hand and sees magic being accumulating. A perfect white sphere formed. Throwing it up and down with her fingers, then throwing it behind her. It hits the ground and in no time it will be nothing but water. A little drink for the grass to have.

"I remember what you have told us. Your brothers taught you spells as well."

"A few they have, but over time as I study I require more. Use them in battles, and there some that don't need spells."

"May you tell them to me?"

"Why?"

"Get to know you."

"Like you freezing Mest. I can say one word to keep one still or they can be combined. With putting someone to sleep or be unable to speak."

"You can do all that?"

"Gramps ask to see one. My magic is parallel with time."

"Time?"

"The strength to how much magic I use, is how much they are under my spell. One second to a hour. It also affects those around me. I may want just one person, but if there is more then one, they are caught as well."

"You can't control it."

"I may not control the locality in which I am in. At lest the spells works."

"What else?"

"Do you really need to know?"

"We are team mates, it's good to know each other's skills. I could predict what you will do next."

"I may have this mark of Fairy Tail on my ankle, I am not one of you. Stranger to you I am."

"Amber!"

"Gray it's Angel out here." Moves her hands around to show they were outside of the guild not inside where ears could hear. If by chance she got caught now to who she really is. Then there will be a lot of explaining to do and putting Fairy Tail at the center of that, was not what she wanted.

"Mest is no longer here. You are part of us, and my team mate, Amber." His gaze was a little to intense for her and she looks away. Then turns her head back when she sees his shoulder. It looked like it was bleeding. Walked over to him and seeing it up close. There was a wound on him and many others from previous battles.

"Your hurt?" Points with her finger and he looks down and sees it. Grazed it by going through a bush. Getting to her meant that he didn't notice that he got a few scrapes on him. What he sees next shocks him a little. Her hand hovers over the little wound and a healing circle is made. Feels the soft warm touch from her magic.

"You can heal?"

"Learn from watching Wendy. I mimic peoples powers, they aren't strong like the originals spell. More of a simplify version of it. Basically I am putting a band aide on." Gray watches on as her hair stays the same but her eyes changes colour. They match the healing circle, that is a purple.

"Thanks, but no real need to fix a small wound like this."

"The tiniest of cuts can get infected." When the scrap is closed Amber puts her hand down and her eyes goes back to dark blue. Still in fighter mode he guess with the continuation of the white in her hair. Trying to figure out her mood is going to be challenge, he was up to figuring her out. "Done Gray."

"Good healer you are."

"First time using it."

"I am glad for the help." Steps back from him and walks to her things. Having someone watch her train, put a damper on doing the rest. If she was with others it will be different. Not all would be looking at her. "Your finished?"

"Mest kind of ruin my first day being out here, then now you."

"Didn't mean to disturb you. I got home not to long ago and came looking for you."

"How did it go?"

"Hahaha, welllll." Rubs the back of his neck with his hand and gives her a sheepish look. Knowing how Lucy wanted this mission to work, and seeing his expression says it all. Walking past him to go back down the trail and had him following her. "Lucy will be fine. Natsu went to tell her sorry again."

"A person can say sorry so many times until they can't say it anymore or that person refuses to accept. Uncle Natsu was in the dog house on more then one occasion by Aunt Lucy."

"Lucy doesn't stay mad at him for long, then they are back to their usual selves."

"I hope so."

"One way to find out. Lets go to Lucy's" Grabs her hand and starts running down the hill. Amber wasn't use to this sudden action by him or holding a boy's hand. Not many teenage boys came near her because of who her Uncles were. Scared most of them away. Holding his hand, Amber could feel how strong and ruff they were. Her Uncle Gray told her how young he was when he was starting to use magic. This one in front of her, probably had the same growing up too.

"Slow down we are going a little fast."

"If we fall I'll catch you."

"Don't say that, it might happ...en." There's a hug rock in front of her. Gray was able to jump over the rock with ease. Not able to lift up her feet in time. Hits the rock with her right foot and makes her loose her grip with Gray's hand. Her hands brace for her impact to the ground. As her body is joist forward, she begins to roll down the hill. Closing her eyes, not to see what will break her fall. If she could react faster, maybe have nice soft cushion of snow to stop the momentum.

Feels her let go of his hand and he turns around to see her going down. Quickly he puts his arms around her and holds her close to him. Didn't want her hurt because he was trying to get down the hill at faster. With however they were going to stop, he had to make sure she was ok. There are going to be more sores on his body then just the scrap of the bush on his shoulder.

They hit everything going down that hill, bushes, rocks, even scaring a couple of the wild life. As they reach the bottom there was a old tree stump coming into Gray's view. There has to be a way to avoid that. Instead of using his hands to muster his magic. Tries to stick a foot into the ground. "Ice Maker Slide!" Beneath them a layer of ice is created and able to direct the slide around the stump. Holding her tightly still they reach the end where the hill levels out. Skid to a stop and his heart and breath are going a mile a minute. "I think we are good."

Her face is buried into his naked chest and she can feel the rapid pace of his heart, then again it could be hers that she is feeling. "Amber are you injured?" It was for certain that her foot is broken and probably not able to fix it completely with her healing skills. "Amber say something."

Rolls her onto back and his hand lifts up her chin to get her to look at him. Then puts some of her hair behind her ear."Injured?" From the time she woke up in the infirmary there has been little assertion from her. Shocked at seeing them all young, lots of tears, seen her frown at times. Her eyes were big, wide and brown? Falling down the mountain had her not prepare to defend herself. It cause her hair and eyes to change to the normal colour. Even the dark blue tips were gone. Eyes roam over her face and hair, thought to himself to remember this moment and her look. "Interesting."

"What?"

A other frown from her and he laughs to himself. "Nothing." Shakes his head a little and smiles down at her. "Are you ok? You haven't said." She was still held tightly to him by his one arm. Being so close to him, she could smell his scent or aftershave or shampoo. It was the same kind her Uncle Gray used too. "Amber?"

"I know I hurt my foot with the rock."

"Lets get you up then." Getting up first then reaching down for her to hold onto his hand. A small hand goes into his big one and he helps her to stand. Taking a step forward on her right foot makes her cringe at the pressure of the pain. "I think you did a number on it. Your shoe is off your foot too and it's swelling."

There was not place for her to sit down for him to examine it more. Her jacket and shoe were up the hill. Had to retrieve them, so he could take her back to the guild to be check over by Wendy. This is all his fault. Wanted to rush to see Lucy and didn't give her the time to get into pace with him. "Stay here." Runs back up the hill to grab her things, and comes back down. Hands them over to her. "Hold them."

A little gasp is heard when he lifts her up into his arms bridle style and heads for the south gate. When he gets back to the guild there is going to be some explaining to do and also hope the twins aren't there.

The journey to get to the top was not easy task for Gajeel and Lilly. They had to take a two day train ride to Hargeon, then head out of the city in search in the mountain area. They have been searching for the last three days for anything. When they couldn't find anything on first mountain, their climb took them to the second one. Yet no luck on that one either. Now they are on the 4th mountain rage and more disappointment. Laxus and his team were able to find the cave right away in there travels. There was no sign of a torch of a flame anywhere. Did they have the wrong location or is it on the other side of city.

At lest to his benefit he had Lilly with him, having him score the sky's to see anything from above. Flying and looking down below him, there was no path to be seen. He was thinking as well they were looking in the wrong spot. If only there was a more clear indication where the tablets were.

"Anything Lilly?"

"Nothing yet Gajeel, we may have to abandon this area and move on."

"It has to be something here."

They keep looking for a few more hours and as they head up the mountain more and Lilly was still flying. The exceed was going to tell Gajeel to give for the day when he spots something in the distance. "Gajeel over there I see something." Black paw points to what looks like a opening into a cave. There was something odd about the area up ahead.

Being cautious as they get closer they come onto a path way. It was the one the should have found days ago. It lead down the mountain side. With Lilly's sharp eyes he can see the lamps that where suppose to illuminate as they drawn near it. Walking closer to the entrance they see two lamps that were knock over. "Why are they knock down?" The both look each other before going inside. The lamps that are on the caves walls light up. Again just like Laxus says, they turn a pure blue colour. "I guess we are good? Gajeel."

Walking down the narrow cave path, that does not lead down, but it goes up. Using his nose to sniff out what is in front of him. Maybe find the sage that guard this cavern but to him it felt like a tomb. They were about 3/4 when Gajeel stop and looked at Lilly. "I smell something."

"Is it the sage?"

"Whoever it is, is covered in blood." Lilly goes in front of him and flies to end of the path. It comes to a large room where there markings on the wall. The story that it tells is different. It wasn't of Helix death, but it was for his wakening. The room barely had any light in it, it was cold and deary. In the center in the room there was the pastel and laying near it was the old sage.

As he gets near him, Gajeel tells Lilly to be on the look out. Kneels down by a old man in a white robe. Touching his shoulder and giving him a shake. The mage opens up his eyes and looks up at Gajeel. "You took what you came for, I am to die."

"Took what, old sage? We just got here."

"Count not to how many of you where there, but in your possession you can't have."

"Again it wasn't us, we came for the tablet."

"Tablet is scared, can't leave these walls."

"Helix we know about, and we have one of the tablets. My master wants to protect the monuments not to set the best free."

"Helix roam ages ago."

"We know the story, sage." The old man tries to sit up and with out Gajeel assistance he would be chocking on his own blood. He was holding onto the side of his waste with a open wound. A lot of blood was spilled. Helping him over to the wall were he can brace better. Gajeel wasn't to sure if there was anything that could be done for him. "What happen here?"

"When the first lamp was lite, could sense there malice. A black flame shown their hearts. The cave would not have let them enter."

"How did they get in?"

"A spell they shouldn't not have known."

"Then what happen."

"Attempt to use what I have left, to no avail. My powers are poor then they were once were." Lilly comes flying down near Gajeel after checking out the drawings on the wall.

"Gajeel, the markings tell of the rival of Helix."

"Shit, that tablet was here then. So the ones that did this to you, took the tablet?"

"Listen to not my warnings. The tablet left with them and I now bleed."

"Lilly, Ember has made their move."

"Ember you say?"

"Yes, Sage. We were told of this from a other like yourself."

"Name is Ciel, I am. The other is alive?"

"He went home to talk to your people."

"Passive race we are now. Been here for more then 3000 years. I will not be able to leave, like he was. Time is sort, life is slipping."

"What does the tablet say Ciel."

"My words will be my last. The sword powers awakens him. Stab through were he had to slumber."

"Is there anything else?"

"The ritual, to be done by a cleanse body. Speaks of springs from the Village."

"What would happen if the ritual wasn't follow through and they take up the sword to him?"

"Darkness will fall, life diminish, drain of power. Sword would consume all, and can't be used to stop him."

"So the sword goes berserk, great!"
