(want more? ^.^ I sure do hope so! Well here you have it. More. )

(disclaimer mumbo jumbo…I really don't want to deal with it )

"It's been two days," Allen said, looking out the window of the inn. Meruru and Van sat on the bed, dressed in peasant clothing. "Two days…since we left the palace…We should find out what is going On. The guards will have some information. Maybe Celena came back!!," Van and Meruru looked nervously to eachother, and Van shook his head unknowingly.

"We can only hope for the best Allen. I'll send Guards to search for her…I wonder if my scouts around the territory got the message of what's going on," Van sighed and walked to Allen, placing his hand on his shoulder. "We'll go back today….Okay?" Van offered a weak smile, and Meruru jumped up and swung her arms around Van.

The city looked normal, except for an occasional corpse of a felice being scraped off the road side. Meruru would often turn her head away from it, and try and keep from vomiting. Van would then offer a comforting pat on the shoulder. As they rode up through the palace gates, villagers would call out to Van welcoming the king of Fanelia back home. Guards stood at the gate, and some of the scouts stood waiting. Van got out of the carriage, and bowed to the guards.

" Any more killing?" Van asked turning to one of the guards.

"Not any except for what was done two nights ago. Although…" The guard turned to the scout, who bowed to Van.

"Sir, around the ruins of Zaibach, it seems as if it teeming with life again sir. Occasionally I would see lights, and people…like fathoms wandering around the area…all equipped with armor and weapons, sir," The scout took note of the worried look on Vans face, and bowed, stepping a few paces back.

"Perhaps this was the work of Zaibach…" Van muttered.
