(ok I hope people like this. I couldn't find the German version of the epitaph of the twilight so I went to AltaVista.com so if its wrong don't be mad. Please review my story, please!? If I don't get at least 1 review then no chapter 3. Hmmpff. BTW sorry its so short.)

Adam's eyes flipped open as he lay in his bed. That girl, she was in his dreams now. The clock on his bedside read: SAT 2:01 AM. Adam sighed and rubbed his forehead. He looked over at his computer, the light from the monitor gave the room a blue tint, its hum usually helped him to sleep. It said that he had new mail. Naturally after awhile his curiosity overwhelmed his tiredness. He threw off his covers and walked over to sit before the monitor. The cursor moved over the mail icon and he hit enter. He had received two new messages. The first was from Osiris. They hadn't really talked about that odd incident with the mysterious girl, but they both knew it was all that was on the others mind. The subject line read

"That Ghost.."

When Adam opened it he smiled, "Hey man, I did some research on that girl. Other ppl have seen her too. I don't know is she's a glitch or just some publicity stunt but I want to find out, and I think you do too. I'd like for you to find out with me. The girl…she seems to like you. :P Kurres doesn't like the idea though, he says it's probably a hacker." "Kurres?" Adam questioned. Greg never was too good at explaining things. Adam raised a brow at the second message. The subject read:

"The eye has opened"

The thing that made Adam most curious was that the sender wasn't someone he recognized. A player by the name of "Helba." but this also intrigued him and he opened it.

"Dennoch zurückzugehen, beschattete poltert wer nach dem Twilight Drachen sucht, den dunklen Herd und das Helba, Königin der Dunkelheit, hat angehoben schließlich ihre Armee Apeiron, König des Lichtes, zuwinkt... An der Unterseite des Regenbogen doth treffen sie. Gegen die abomniable "Welle" zusammen kämpfen sie. Große Energie Fall doth Baum des alba Seeblutgeschwüre Lichtes - alles jetzt zu den Tröpfchen, die in den Bügel von Arche Koeln gedreht werden, geht zu nichts, diese Welt von den shadowless zurück. Nie zurückgehen, beschattete, das nach dem Twilight Drachen sucht." ,it read.

"What the? What is this?" it seemed to be written in German or some sort of European language. Either way Adam couldn't read it. He simply ignored it for the time being and logged into "The World." He placed the orange FMD Neuro Goggles he had recently bought onto his head. It made the game seem more intense and personal.

Shoki arrived in Mac Anu as he had last time. A man wielding a large axe approached him at the Chaos Gate.

"So, you must be Shoki. Osiris told me about you. I've been waiting."

"You know Osiris?"

"Yes, he's quite a good friend of mine. My name's Kurres."

Now Adam understood. Kurres was Osiris' friend.

"Osiris, he told me about that incident with the girl. Personally I believe it to be a virus or a hacker. But either way it's invoked my more curious side. And after some looking around I came up with this, 'Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground.' Shoki stared at him with questioning,

"Keywords? But to where?"

"If you'll trust me, I'd like you to go with me."

Shoki nodded.

"Then we're about to find out."

Shoki received Kurres member address and they formed a party. Next thing Shoki knew they were both on some form of walkway. This level seemed very small. You couldn't see anything below the chunk of earth, thick fog filled the vastness.

"This place…it's amazing!" Shoki exclaimed as they walked towards the big double doors. Kurres pushed them open to reveal a large cathedral inside. There at the end of the room stood the most sad statue Shoki had ever seen. Bound in chains it gave him a sense of peace but yet one of sorrow as well. "Could it be, the rumors-?" Kurres inquired to himself but was cut off when a woman fell from the rafters and hit the floor with an "Oof." She stood and dusted herself off as Kurres pointed his Giant Hill axe to her.

"Who are you and why are you here?!" she put one hand on her hip and the other held her spear pointed at Kurres.

"I could ask you the same thing!" she retorted with a sassy attitude.

"Why were you spying on us?"

"Spying?!" she screamed "I wasn't spying! I was investigating!"

"Then how do you know of this place?

"I got an e-mail. From somebody named Shoki. It told me to meet him here."

Shoki was shocked. He stood there as Kurres lookd down at him,

"Shoki?"

"But I, no, I didn't send and message." Kurres glared at the woman.

So then she must be lying, tell me then deceiver, how do you know of Shoki and this place?!"

The woman sighed. "I'm telling the TRUTH! I got an e-mail at 2:00 or something in the morning. And I'm no deceiver, my NAME is Teema!"

Shoki grabbed Kurres ' axe and pushed it down from its aggressive stance,

"I believe her."

"Are you sure we can trust her?" he said as he lowered his head to look at him. Shoki nodded to Kurres. Something odd was going on, and now he had two new friends to help him out. He had explained the mysterious girl to Teema as she expressed her intent to help him. Then outside atop the cathedral a female wave master clad in white smiled and whispered, "The tale begins."
