San just stared at the man before her. Instently finding it was hard to belive that the man before her was once kind and just prince of Fannlia. Kind but a bit hot headed and full of pride. No more was he that brash boy of legends told. No. Only an empty cold husk of what he had been not so long ago. Vagley she could feel tears
building up in her eyes. Still she refused to let them fall. Her pride kept them their. Teetering in her sea green eyes.

Finnly she spoke,"Take me instead."

Van smirked slightly and she knew then how he was injoying watching her suffer and squrm. Knowing she had no power.Knowing he held all the cards and could do whatever he wished with her. She was nothing to him. But then why hadn't he killed her yet?,"What do you have in mind, San?"

San stared at hem soft silver tears still glittzering in their depths,"My life in exchange for his. Relase him and kill me instead."

Van's smirk dimminshed slightly but his eyes seemed to laugh at her,"That seems far too easy. Besides, i'm not te excutioner. That would be someone eles."

San narrowed her eyes,"Dalandau?"

Van's knowing smirk returned,"Of course. He still a bit upset about yourlast stunt while you were here. I'll think about your offer."

With that he turned and left her the door slaming behind him. Alone at last she sank to her knees by the bars. The tears falling freely now. Streaming like a waterfall down her soft white cheeks.Drawing her knees up tothe chest she bowed her head her long dark hair falling over her face. Obscurring it from veiw.
The tears she held withen her for so long came forth taking her away. And she didn't care.


Chid sat in his cell. It was much like San's. His thoughts spining as he thought of his father. Their mission. San. She was the key. He had known their was something about her. A sense of fammilarty that he'd never known in so long. Now he knew why. Those eyes. So innocent at first glance. But behind such innocense
was a heart of a child who'd grown up before her time. The wolf-people, she'd lived with,
had added him many times in escaping the Zeibock. But that ment they were danger whitch ment
always being on the move as well as learning to a warrior. Warrior. He felt a small ironic smile touch his still full lips. Warrior. What his alegened father had constently wanted him to be. To grow up. Become a worthy king. King of Freid to be exact.

"Chid."a voice rang out through the darkness removeing him from his trance of memmoris long since past but never forgotten.

Chid glanced upward though all ready knowing whom it was,"Van Stradigos...come so soon for my excution have you? Seems last time I was to be 'excuted' I ended up dissmbering half your men."

Van snorted,"You obviously think very high of yourself. Besides, their is an excution tomorrow but not neccarly yours."

Chid stoof up crossing his arms,"What are you talking about? it seems like you would be urging my death so soon."

Van smiled a secret cryptic smile,"Someone has asked their life in exchange for yours."

Chid's eyes widened as a wild resation suddenly came to mind,"W...what are you talking about?"

Van's smile dimmenished his eyes danceing with cruelness that seems to be to cruel to be real,"San will ither die at sunrise after Dalandau has his fun."

Chid's eyes blazed with blue fire. Anger consumed him. Grasping the bars that bared him from the one thing he wanted despertly to die,"No...this is between you and I Van Stradigos. Let her go...."

Van smirked,"What would be the fun in that?"

Chid's eyes blazed as he stared at the cold mocking figure before him,"Fun? You call causeing the death of a girl!"

Something Chid couldn't desiphedr flashed Van's eyes. Not anger. Not confusion. Not mockery. No..It was more like pain. Just as quickly as it appered it dissaperd and his eyes hardened.

Finnly he spoke his voice so cold that it sent shivers up his spine,"That dependes on your point of veiw. Don't worry, you'll be watching as she dies."

Chids eyes widened in compleat horrer. Van said nothing but turned and left. Chid watched as his back as he disspared behind the door. His legs now unable to hold him buckled benith him and he fell hard on his nees his head bowed. Her face flashed before him. He closed his eyes
slightly as he rembered when he appered before Seer Hitomi and his father Allen Shizare. How she'd thrown her arms around him. For the first time in a long time he'd been happy. For the first time he'd seen her true smile. Not a warish smile. Not a mocking cold smile.
No..a smile that had made him smile truly. He opened his eyes stareing forward as he felt a silver tear fall down his cheek.


San stood distrautly stareing at the sky through her barded window. She felt a stab of sadness as she relized this was to be her day of life. This was the last sunrise her eyes would ever fall upon. The sun was to rise with her life now and would fall with her life as well.

'Why did I offer my life for his? I've never cared about anyone but my tribe...why now?'

Even as she asked herself the question deep withen she already knew the answer to it. As much as she didn't want to belive it herself she had fallen for the blue eyed boy with long blound hair. She didn't bother to glance upward as two Dragon Slayers entered and lifted her up. She offered no
restance and walked with her head held high.
She was afraid. But she would die with honor. Not in cowerdice. She was taken to a large platform. To her right restrainded by 4Dragon Slayers was the one she'd fallen so hard for. She glanced at him her eyes sorrowfull.
Her eyes saying all that her lips would not expose. She glanced upward to see Van standing their a golden like sword
held in his right hand his fave placid and cold. His eyes unforgiveingly cold. San met his gaze with foolish pride and honor. Only her eyebrows lifting in suprise as she relized he was her excutiner.
She glared at him defiently. He lifted the sword as she stoped infront of him. Closeing his eyes a momment before reopening them and his snow white wings broke free from his back.

'Draconion..King of Dragons...Of course!'she thought as her eyes bore into his own.

Without thought San grabed a feather in mid-air. At that momment time seemed to slow. All eyes foased on San as a blue light decended from the hevens pulling her up-ward. Only this was not the light of travel. To the countray. They stared as she stoped in mid-air. And her hair
changed to a deep golden brown. Growing short and falling in a haze in her sea green eyes. Her clothing changed into a short red skirt and an odd white jacket. The jacket ripped slightly as pure white wings erupted from her back. She stared down at them. Her eyes holding everything
and nothing at all. Everyones swords fell from them as relezation dawned on them about who this was.

"Hitomi..."Van breathed his tone holding remorse.

Chid stared up at what used to be San. San. The girl he'd fallen for so hard but belived she felt none of the same feelings. Hitomi decened lightly from the sky. For a momment noone moved.

She stared sadly at Van,"Van. You betrayed me. You betrayed Gaea. Along with,"gesteres around herself"That you choose to side with the enemy."

Van's face reveiled no emotion. His eyes were the only alive thing about him. His dark redish brown eyes bruned with pain and sadness unknown by many.

He moistened his lips his voice hard his eyes slowly becomeing just as cold,"It 'twas what was right. look at all we've accoplished Hitomi! No war. Its finnly as it should be. Perfection at its highest form. Un-blind yourself woman! This is how it was ment to be."

Hitomi shook her head,"No. This is'ent how it 'twas to be, Van. You know that. Still you hide the truth from yourself."

Van sneered,"I hide nothing. You are daft woman."

Hitomi walked over to him. Instently he pointed the blade at her. She stared at it for a momment. No fear. No anger.

Hitomi qarked an eye-brow,"Are you going to kill me now Van? Have you truly lost yourself?"

Van's eyes widened as suddenly a sword splited through her back pointing upward from her stoamach.
