~***~

Xellos snapped opened his eyes and rubbed them when the sun's rays poured down on his face. He put on a stern face and got ready. Quickly grabbing his clothe to change into. He looked at himself at the mirror downstairs, he like the black pants and cloak that draped over his yellow shirt, which was quite unique with pieces of fabric sticking out at the sash. Xellos' stomach growled as the smell of pancakes drifted to his nose. Even though he could feed on people's negative emotions he was in the mood for some pancakes. Xellos rushed to the kitchen and saw the pancakes on the table. He sat down and started to devour the pancakes adding heaps of syrup. His grandpa sweatdropped.

"Enough, syrup you got there Xel?" he asked as the boy stuffed pancake after pancake in his mouth. Xellos nodded and took a swig of milk from his cup. Xellos cleared his throat.

"I want to apologize, for my rudeness, yesterday." He said. His grandma went over and sat at the table.

"No need to apologize." She said drizzling the syrup on her pancake. "But what brought this on?" She asked. Xellos stood up and wagged his finger at her, a genki grin on his face.

"Sore Wa Himitsu Desu. But I'll be going out just for a bit now." He stated, as he was about to exit the kitchen. His grandpa looked at him and slightly narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, and where are you going?" he questioned. Xellos didn't bother to look back.

"Sore Wa Himitsu Desu." He replied and decided to hastily run out before they asked anymore questions. His grandparents smiled at each other and continued with their breakfast.

~***~

Xellos quickly jogged to the shrine his mind prepared for anything. After a few minutes of weaving through the forest he finally reached the shrine he was never allowed to go. He wondered to himself why his grandparents wouldn't even question him further about his whereabouts, but soon those thoughts were repressed as the prince reached the shrine. Xellos looked around he saw nothing that would be of any importance just a small simple shrine in front of a cave. Xellos went up to the cave feeling a strange feeling emitting from it.

"Hey, I never knew this was a sealed cave." Xellos said as he saw a sword sticking out of the sealed wall. Xellos placed his fingers on the blade a strong jolt of electricity passed through him. Xellos removed his hand and gasped. "What was that?" he asked to himself. Xellos gazed at the sword and soon felt his body moving toward it again. He placed his hands on it, his mind was telling him to stop but he was not able to. Electric streams were coming from his holding on the blade. Xellos felt himself slowly tugging the blade out. The ground was shaking and the wind was getting intense. Xellos' hair flew madly into his face until finally Xellos tugged and the sword unsheathed itself from the wall. He panted still holding the sword. The wall soon disappeared leaving Xellos a decision.

"What is going on here? First this sword, now that wall disappears." Xellos panted. He went to the opening of the cave and smirked. "Whatever's in there better watch out." Xellos yelled as he ran in still clutching the sword.

~***~

Xellos opened his eyes, finding it easier to see. He took a closer look at the sword he was holding and his eyes bulged. "Interesting, a dragon's blood sword. I though they destroyed all of these after the annihilation of the dra..." Xellos looked down he noticed he stepped on something that made a loud CRUNCH! He stooped down and picked up the item. "A..a...a fossilized dragon's shell." He awed as he placed it back on the ground. Xellos continued to walk deeper in the cave. His ears picking up all the sounds of the water dripping from top of the cave and the small animals running pass him. Xellos walked and walked wondering if he would find anything more interesting. He noticed to the left of him a large crack on the left side of the wall.

"What's in there?' he asked still clutching the sword. Xellos stepped through the crack and drew in a sharp breath at what he saw. It was a deceased dragon's fossilized bones. Xellos looked in astonishment and nearly tripped over a tattered piece of fabric on the ground.

"I can't believe this dragon's bones. I wonder how much this would sell for? I'll be rich." Xellos chirped and soon sweatdropped. "Wait a minute, I'm a prince I'm born rich." He sighed as he found another cavern and decided to explore it. When Xellos left the bones a great breeze passed by and the bones shook. If the prince was still there he would here the faintest of heartbeats coming from the bones. The bones stirred once more and prepared to awaken.

~***~

Xellos stopped in his tracks as a familiar presence gripped him. "What....that feeling." He whispered as he tightened his grip on the sword.
