Megami took another step back, straining her neck to look up at the strange man. The man narrowed his eyes as he stared down at her.

The man jumped down from the large branch and landed a few feet from Megami. Megami was scared now; she didn't know who the man was. The man started walking towards her.

'Stay away from me!' Megami called out, trying to hide her fear with anger. The man swiftly grabbed her shoulders, pulling her closer to him, and causing Megami to drop her locket.

'I've finally found you; I've been searching for you for a very long time Princess.' The man said maniacally. The back of the man's shirt started to bulge and two dragons like wings sprouted from his back.

'What? What are you talking about? Just let go of me you weirdo!' Megami cried out. 'Help me! Someone please, help!' Megami screamed at the top of her lungs. The man holding her didn't seem stunned at all by this.

He laughed. 'No one can help you now, no one.'

'You better think twice about that!' Someone called from behind them.

The man looked back over his shoulder just in time to see the sword come down. The sword sliced off the man's head as a strange white flash beamed.

Megami fell back, blinded by the light. She landed next to where she had dropped her new found locket.

Megami opened her eyes to see maroon ones staring back at her. Megami sat up, startled. She hit her head against the head of the person with maroon eyes.

'Oww!' Megami rubbed her four head with her hand.

'Are you alright Miss?' The man with maroon eyes asked. Megami blinked her eyes a few times, clearing up her vision and then looked at the man.

The man was wearing some kind of strange robes; they were beige and an aqua green color. He had maroon eyes and a strange purple tear drop tattoo under his right eye. His hair was aqua and in the style of a mullet.

'Miss?' The man inquired again. Megami shook her head.

'Yes, I'm fine. And you are...................................?' Megami hadn't caught his name yet.

'I am Lord Folken Lacour de Fanel.' The man addressed himself.

'Oh.............. Uh........... My name is Megami, Megami Shields.' Megami said, she felt a little insignificant compared to the man that had rescued her.

'Megami Shields that is a cute name, perfect for a young lady like yourself.' The man smiled at her. Megami blushed wildly at the comment.

'Thank you, uh....... Mr. Fanel.' Megami looked sheepishly at him, they were both still sitting on the ground.

'Just call me Folken.' Folken told Megami. She smiled.

'Uh, where is my locket?' Megami asked, looking around the ground.

Folken stood up, Megami followed his lead. 'Here, I picked it up for you.' Folken said, holding out the locket to Megami.

'Thank you so much.' Megami blushed and smiled up at her savior. 'What was that *thing*?' Megami shook at the thought of that strange man with the reptile like wings.

'I don't know, but it is best we forget, it's gone now.' Folken told Megami. Folken walked Megami home after that, making sure she got there safely.
