The trip to darachia went without anymore incidents and I got closer to rose got to know her, Shirley and Belzac better. When we reached darachia we saw one massive tower stretching up into the sky then rose asked a question 'where does the tower go?' 'its connected to the city of Aglis somehow' then a wingly guard stopped us 'identify yourselves' rose stepped forward 'my names Rose this is Shirley. Belzac and Zieg we're all mercenaries' the wingly nodded slowly 'you may pass' and with that he flew away towards the top of the tower then we entered the tower there was a strange feeling of being watched but they continued looking through the tower for something the scholar that rose had mentioned while in the "trance" then I entered the training area and saw a young man with golden hair spinning a lance around as he circled his opponent then they clashed together then the first one jumped back and his opponent was lying there knocked unconscious then the blond one turned to me and walked over 'I haven't seen you here before who are you?' 'my names Zieg and you?' 'Syuveil and I'm a slave here, are you here for the competition?' I stared at him blankly 'competition?' 'its where all the people who need to know something come here for we fight and whoever wins is allowed two things of their choice say free a slave or get information about something, are you going to enter?' 'yes' I said without thinking the Syuveil smiled 'great it starts tomorrow I'll see you there' then he walked off and I was left to find the others. It took me a long time to find the others and tell them that I'd found the scholar and that I was entering a competition to try and free him then he heard what they had found out rose had found that all people in this city are slaves and are being treated in appalling conditions and have tried several rebellions but all have failed due to lack of funding, weapons and training. Shirley and Belzac had found much the same thing. Then we went back to the city and booked into an inn for the night. Then in the morning we returned to the tower and walked to the training area and we saw a wingly shouting 'all contestants for the competition please gather in the room behind me I repeat all contestants for the competition please gather in the room behind me' I turned to the three of them 'I guess I'm off don't worry I'll win' then I turned and walked into the room for the amount you could win there were only around fifteen contestants I recognised Syuveil then a wingly at the front of the room spoke 'no more contestants all of you speak your names' 'Rodriguez' 'Syuveil' 'baraka' 'Sydney' 'girl with a hammer' 'girl with an even BIGGER hammer' 'Sephiroth' 'crash bandicoot' 'Zieg' 'Lloyd' 'Vector' 'Gambit' 'Garr' 'psychopath with an axe' then the wingly spoke 'is that all of you? Good now the first match is psychopath with an axe vs. girl with an even BIGGER hammer. As the two walked forward the wingly took both of their weapons and a glow infused them both then the weapons dropped to the floor the glow dimmed and two perfect replica's of the original weapons were handed back the only difference was that they were made of wood then the two walked out into the arena and a few minutes later one extremely bruised and battered girl walked out and left the psychopath walked out with a happy smile on his face then the wingly spoke 'the next battle will be sephiroth vs. Garr ' the weapon change process was repeated and the two walked out onto the arena floor then we heard a voice speaking from all around them 'the contender sephiroth has been disqualified for use of magic and a non-wooden blade and the contender Garr has been killed' then the wingly spoke 'the next battle will be Sydney vs. Zieg' as I walked forward I saw a man with two iron arms walk up beside me then again the wingly spoke 'Sydney you may not fight with the weapons on you arms you must use a blade or a different type of weapon' then Sydney grabbed a short sword out of thin air 'will this suffice' he asked the wingly 'yes' then he made the copies and me and Sydney walked out onto the bloody sands of the arena floor and took our places at either side of the arena then he ran forward and sliced in with a powerful cut which I blocked and then backhanded Sydney and smacked him across the back of the head with my wooden sword as Sydney's eyes glazed over he shook his head and jumped backwards then he ran forward ducked under my slash and slammed his blade into my midriff and then he moved and struck again and again until he slipped and I brought my blade crashing down on his head then Sydney fell and I walked off the sands and back into the waiting room where I promptly fell onto a long seat and slept while the healer treated my wounds.

Syuveil waited nervously until his turn in the contest his fingers slipping along the haft of his lance because of the sweat then he saw the man he'd met yesterday walk out and come back battered and bruised then the wingly spoke 'Syuveil vs. Lloyd' then I walked up and my weapon was changed and I walked out onto the bloody sands next to my opponent then we went to opposite sides of the arena. The man I was fighting against smiled he was young only 14 at most with blood red eyes and platinum hair he held his blade in a perfect stance then two wings of light appeared out of his back and he floated up into the air 'unfortunate human you cant beat me now' then I reached back into my mind and called upon my heritage which I often called a curse and then two wings of light appeared on my back and I floated up to the same level as him 'I'm not quite as human as you think' then I flew forward spear sinning in the air and smashed its point into his face the wingly smiled and started attacking spinning slashing ducking turning striking but his opponent wads unused to fighting with a blunt blade whereas Syuveil was used to it and all Syuveil' s blows were doing lots of damage to the wingly he kept going until eventually Syuveil knocked him out of the sky. When he walked back in he was confronted by the wingly who had been calling out names 'contender Syuveil you have been in this tower for ten years why have you not informed your superiors that you were a wingly'?' 'I'm only a half wingly and I did inform my superiors when I was five and they told me to never mention it again' 'humph very well but after the contest we will decide what to do with you' then he started calling out names but I passed out before the next fight was over.

I woke up with the wingly shaking me 'whashgoingon' 'you're fight against Rodriguez is on now get your blade and get out there' I stood up ad grasped my sword and walked out onto the bloody sands where I saw a creature like no other it was a parody of human and bird with the wings and claws of a bird and the build and body of a human but the face had the shape of a humans but the beak and eyes of a bird strange I wondered the thing called Rodriguez had before looked like a normal man but now he seemed like a demon out of fairytales but I banished theses thoughts and concentrated on the fight I noticed that my blade was metal again and smiled 'blazing dynamo' I shouted at the creature I usually did these moves in silence to conserve breath but at the moment I felt like shouting 'moon strike' 'blazing dynamo' 'crush dance' 'blades of hell' I screamed pulling off the black sword art which had been banned by the warriors of old because of its sudden death capabilities 'blades of hell' I screamed again but the creature bruised and bloody rose up and flew through the window fleeing the battle. Then the winglies voice sounded out over the roars of the crowd 'the victor is Zieg' then I walked back in only a little tired because Rodriguez had never landed a blow on me and the black arts rejuvenated you so I sat down and waited.

Syuveil woke up with the wingly shaking him 'your match against baraka is now on get out there' I picked up my spear and walked out on the bloody sands and took up my place on the opposite side of my opponent a creature with two long blades extending from his arms then I looked at my spear it was no longer wooden but hard steel I ran at the creature and just when I was about to hit I flew up and dived spear outstretched and drove it through the creatures chest and out the other side but It didn't die so I twisted it and slammed it into its lower stomach then ripped it out tearing away most of the creatures midriff but it was still fighting as I flew up it jumped and rammed a blade through my leg and held on as i flew up and tried to shake him off then I thrust my spear through his eye and out the back of his head but he held on and slashed at me with his free hand I drove my spear into the joint between his shoulder and cut off his arm as he fell he screamed but as he hit the ground the impact killed him as I limped out of the arena I got back and collapsed onto the ground the healer already casting heal spells.

Zieg woke up with the wingly shaking him 'you are in the final get your weapon and get out there' I picked up my blade and walked out onto the bloody sands.

Syuveil woke up with the wingly shaking him 'you are in the finals get your weapon and get out there' I picked up my spear and walked out onto the bloody sands.

Zieg watched as Syuveil walked out and took up his place opposite him, I thought for a second about letting him win but then I remembered rose's words 'search the library there you will find out who I am and what you must do' I decided that I would win and free Syuveil and find out what needed to be found out. I advanced forward blade extended but the bastard floated up out of reach I looked around avoiding his blows until I saw a generator for an energy walkway ands jumped and hit it at once a circular sphere came into existence which enclosed me and Syuveil I jumped at him and floated there it must give me the ability to fly while inside the sphere as I slashed at Syuveil he blocked and struck back until I sliced through the haft of his spear and clubbed him into unconsciousness as the sphere winked out of existence we fell to the ground seemingly impossibly fast but as we hit I blacked out.

I woke up lying in a room in an inn with rose sitting by my side her eyes filled with worry as I slowly tried to get up she put on hand on my chest and pushed me back down ' the healer said not to get up you broke seven ribs and punctured a lung and, and split open your skull so you my friend are not getting up until you are fully healed' 'well this is going to be fun' 'you wont be in long you're mainly healed now just the healer has to finish and you will be able to get up' the healer walked into the room at that very moment and walked over cast the spells then walked out 'damn pompous winglies' muttered rose then she brightened 'you can get up now come on come on you've got to see this' "this" turned out to be a statue of me which under it a plaque read this years champion the mercenary Zieg the 'burning blade'. 'huh' I exclaimed then rose spoke again 'now we have got to go to the throne room you have to decide what you want to get' then me dragged me off to the throne room where a wingly was waiting sitting stiffly on a throne 'you are the one who won the contest choose your prise' 'I want the slave Syuveil freed and I wish to search the library for some information' 'done the slave shall be brought to your inn as soon as possible and the library is up the hallway I hope this satisfies you' 'it does and thank you' as I walked out of he throne room I headed towards the library I felt something pulling at me I followed it and it lead me to a book which I opened and read find the other two and then head towards the dragon mountain there you will find you're guiding spirits I will travel with you after you find the siren of the sky's but find the man with the fist of blood first and then pursue the siren'. I walked out and back to the inn rose at my side asking questions but I didn't answer I had to figure out something in t'k'parek so I walked into the inn and got everyone ready then set out on the road to t'k'parek.
