A/n: Don't own the Legend of Dragoon!
A Blackened Art of Necromancy
The Demon army reached Hoax two days after the evacuation. They reset the city so that it could be used as a base against Lohan. Most of the town had not burned down from when the Humans had set it a flame to stop them. Chaos had laughed at the attempt, "What they burn can be used for Virage!" he had said happily.
Greed had taken her time however to carefully reconstruct the village with her minions. She had remade it much larger and grander that before. To Greed creation was as easy as destruction. However she had found it odd that one small part of the village hadn't burned at all. It had been left, untouched by flame or anything. The worse part of the little slice was that it had a horrible feel to it. It felt like the divine, and yet some how it also felt like the darkness.
She didn't tell the other's of this. She kept her emotions to herself, for they were hers and hers alone.
War had been to the village before, not that long ago in fact. He knew his was around, this added even more concern about him. The other demons had grown to trust him, but that was fading again.
Sin had taken a small group out to search for stragglers. They would of course be killed on first glance. After that was accomplished they were to start for Lohan, to spy on it. In this way the demons would know what the humans where planning.
"They are sending out a scouting part my lord." Announced a minor demon, "Sin is going after stragglers. Death said that he will take a part of the army around south to prevent any aid from The Black Castle."
"Good." War murmured. "You may go." The demon left through the front door. It had been the old headquarters for the town, and he liked it here. The energy in the air was like the demon part of him, but perhaps also the divine part? It was nice, even if it bothered everyone else.

From behind a hidden doorway in the HQ of hoax was seven people. Two of them were dragoons, four of them winglies and the other two were skilled humans. The leader of the group was non other than Rose.
She had lead them here, so that they could kill at least one of the higher demons. With not only hers but Dilrivan's powers it shouldn't prove to difficult to kill one of them. Then with these extra people that they had found.... Maybe two before they were over come and killed.
She hadn't told the others in the group that they were going to die though. She knew after 11,000 years of life how to convince people to fight. People will not fight against bad odds, and they will run if faced with doom. She could stand dying again, it was better in death after all. She was grating them release, not pain and suffering.
What will Zieg think of me doing something so horrible? He'll be proud.
"War has left." Whispered the wingly they had stationed at the front. He had the best hearing and senses after all. "I think there are a few of minions left though."
Rose nodded, slowly started to slide her rapier out of the sheath. "We go." She whispered to them, beside her she could sense Dilrivan's worry. This would be only the third time he had transformed. His meager skill in fighting would do him no good too. However all she need from him was a good blast of magic. Just one, and if they were lucky maybe she'd get two.
The gang stood on their feet, and the front wingly through open the door. Letting the light in, and revealing to the demons their location.

Wink glanced at Lloyd for the final approval. What ever mad thought in her head had twisted her to doing this she did not know. But it had to be done, she had to someday, why not now?
Lavits nodded, causally backing away from her. Lloyd gave him a glance then nodded his head too.
So she closed her eyes and started to look for that little tread of light that she knew to be her connection to Soa. Finding it was the simple part, finding Soa in it was the hard part.

Albert awoke to the sounds of birds, and someone who was humming along with them. He had a slight headache, but other than that was fine. Sitting up slowly he glanced around, surprised to see that he was sitting in a meadow. The grass around him was covered with frost, yet he didn't feel the cold.
"So your up Crazy man." A person commented from behind.
Albert looked around behind to come face to face with a girl of maybe twelve. She has short curly hair and was covered in dark blue and green material. She smiled, then spoke, "Do you want some thing to eat crazy man?"
He stared at her wondering if she was calling him Crazy man, glancing behind him he affirmed that he was the only person she could be talking too. "My name is not crazy man." He stated attempting to be kind to the child.
"Oh really? What is it then?"
"Albert." He replied.
"Hm... Albert, well Shana told me to take good care of you. Anyway crazy man do you want something to eat for breakfast? Or not?" She said with a smile.
Albert sighed and nodded, looking far to displeased.
A/N: HAHA! I have updated this too! Well actually I've had this done since the 5th but then I got board and lost most of my net time due to me hogging the phone line! Ugh, well I have placed a FF9 fic up, it's going to be a Cute/Angst *if cute existed* So all of you must go read it! ^.^
