Iaem's POV: 6 months after the end of the Dragon Campaign.

Of the Dragoons who went to fight, only two managed to survive.  Kanzas sacrificed himself to take down a Virage, Belzac and Shirley were killed by the Super Virage, Zieg was turned to stone after killing Melbu Frahma, and Damia was separated from the others early in the fight, and is probably long dead.  Rose is in mourning for Zieg, ad Serem...well...it's like his soul is gone.  He just lies there, completely unmoving, and has been like that for six months.  The best guess that anyone has, is that in his current state, he'll last another two months.  Whatever affected him, also drained his Dragoon Spirit.  Over the months, it's gotten more and more fragile...I picked it up from the table, and several shards crumbled off of it.  This won't last any longer than he will...It's a pity though, I think he would have liked Ulara.

Three months later

Well, he lasted a month longer than anyone thought, but now my best friend, lies under six feet of earth.  The dragoon spirit lasted for only a few minutes after he died before crumbling to dust.  I clenched my fist around the hilt of the sword at my waist.  Serem's sword...I'll take good care of it...

11,000 years later

"Iaem, I have to talk to you."

I spun around and found myself face to face with Rose.  "When did you get back?"

"I'm not staying very long.  Iaem, I'm going to take the sword."

"It's not like you to do something like that for no reason, why?"

"A few weeks ago, I ran into someone who liked remarkably like...our mutual friend.  Even more interestingly, he said that he knew me from somewhere, and unless my guess is off, he carries a dragoon spirit as well."

"Serem's alive?  But that can't be possible...I saw him buried eleven thousand years ago!"

"I know, but I'm sure that it's him, in some form or another.  Once I track him down again, I'll try to bring him here as soon as I can."

"I'm going with you."

"No.  And if you try to press the issue, I'll go straight to Charle, and have her keep you here."

"I'm going.  You'll have to get Charle to keep me here, or I'll just follow you when you go."

Damn it...I never thought she would actually do that...  An hour later, I found myself being watched by a few others as Rose left Ulara and headed back out into the world.

It's not possible...Serem, are you really back?

Okay, I'm done with Traitor, and I'm going to continue with the other fic now.  Bye everyone, and please read my other LoD fic!
