The Strange Savior: A Girl of Atlantis?
A hospital, somewhere in Palas
"Are you quite alright dear?"
"Where am I?"
"I asked you a question."
"Who are you?"
"Please answer me child."
"Why am I here?"
"What is your name?"
"I asked you first." The doctor shook his head and sighed. The silver--haired girl was going to be more of a problem than he first expected. He took out a syringe and a small bottle filled with a hazy orange liquid. "What is that? No, go away! I don't need your help!" He was deranged. An insane doctor from Old Zaibach.
"Calm down dear, this is just something to help you answer my questions. Don't you fuss over me, I'm here to help you." Calliean tried to lift herself off the soft bed, but found to her disgust that she was tied down. She struggled fiercely to get out of the bonds at her feet and wrists.
"DAMN YOU! LET ME OUT OF THESE!" She screamed and struggled more. "What the fuck are you up to old man? Let me go! Don't you dare stick me with that thing, I'LL KILL YOU!" The doctor glanced at the screaming, struggling girl with a look of amusement.
"Now, now. Don't get all worked up over this dear. I would just like you to answer my questions. If you do that there will be no need for this," he held up the syringe, now filled with the murky orange truth serum. Instead of the answers the doctor had been hoping for, Calliean spat at him. "That's it. You wasted your chance at repentance, now I must administer the..."
"I WILL NEVER ANSWER YOU, YOU BASTARD! LET ME GO!" Before she knew what was happening, Calliean felt a prickling sensation run down her back to her waist and back up until it got to the bottom of her shoulder blades, then, something happened. Jet black wings erupted from her back, forcing the bonds at her wrists to break as well as at her feet. Calliean was free. She stood up and walked over to the cowering doctor, grabbing his collar and throwing him into the far wall like a rag doll. She then picked up the syringe, and, holding him down, stuck it into the doctor's stomach. "Tell me old man. Who are you?"

The Vione, Dak's quarters
"Why should I live? How should I die?" Dak asked himself, slowly contemplating wether to slit his own throat, or hang himself from the ceiling. "I just don't understand...why do people put such a high price on life? Why does it mean so much to us?" He picked up a dagger and absentmindedly put it to his wrist and cut verticly along the vein. "Funny...I'm crying, but I'm not even sad..." he looked down at his wrist. "Oh, I see." He proceded to the other wrist, his armor now covered in blood.

Sky, somewhere between Fanelia and Asturia
Calliean's senses had been heightened when her wings had sprouted. The night no longer seemed so dark, and she could hear everything in the woods.
"Hmmm, I like this. It's so new to me though, I don't know anything about this...but, it seems...almost natural to me." Another tingling sensation rushed up her back, this time so strong that she momentarily lost control and did a nose dive towards the ground. A picture shot through her mind, the boy...Dak, from Zaibach. He was dead, he had hung himself! Soon enough Calliean regained control but the vision still haunted her. "What the hell was that about? I don't even know that boy, he's nothing to me! Why am I envisioning his death now? Oh my God..." the truth dawned on Calliean and she gasped. he was going to commit suicide. She didn't know why, but she did know that because of him she was able to escape Zaibach. "At his expense is more like it Calli." She told herself. "I have to help him. Damnit, and I was hoping for a break for once." She adjusted her wings and glided around, inscribing a large arc in the sky and flew back towards Asturia, back to Zaibach.
