"AAAAAAAAAAARGH!" Celina and Dilandau screamed as they plunged down through the pit. They landed with a thud. "I have an idea," said Celina. "What's that?" Dilandau asked , rubbing his head. "Let's not do that again." "Agreed." They got up, limping and Dilandau's arm bleeding again. They walked for a little while until they reached the edge of the wall. "Long way down," Dilandau said. "Mm-hmm," Celina agreed. They walked some more until Dilandau said "I need to lie down." He then fell over. "He's fainted," Celina said. She poked him. "Damn birds," Dilandau muttered. Celina dragged him over to the place farthest away from the edge and sat down. "Suppose this is as good a place as any to spend the night," she said. She lay down and slowly drifted off.
In the tower of Sorcery Hitomi was practising her magic, trying to take her mind off her dilemma. She shouldn't be feeling this way about The Master. It would probably pass in time. Yes, that was it. It was just a phase. Just a phase.
It was about 6.00 am when Dilandau woke up mumbling something about birds. He woke up Celina and said "We'd better get going. And so they did. They walked on, pressing switches, avoiding traps and jumping from platform to platform. It was all going well until they reached a very large platform. There was a screeching noise and the sound of flapping wings. Dilandau heard a scream and turned around. He saw Celina being carried up into the air by harpies. "Hang on!" Dilandau shouted. Then he heard a hissing sound. "Oh, how are you going to get out of this one?" an all too familiar voice said. "Shut up!" Dilandau shouted and punched his face. The punch cracked the white porcelain mask on his face. Van stepped back. He drew one knife with one finger, then fanned out his hand to reveal five knives. He threw them without turning his head. They killed the harpies and Celina started to fall. Van spread his wings and flew up into the air, holding his face. "It's up to you now, old friend," he said quietly. Dilandau ran over to Celina and caught her. He put her down and said "Are you alright?" "Yeah," she said. They walked on and jumped down the hole. There was someone waiting. He stepped out of the shadows and walked forward. He was wearing a black robe and a crown that went around his forehead, just beneath his silvery- white hair. On the robe was some sort of symbol, a circle with a sword down the centre with the sun on the left and the moon on the right. His fingers were quite long and his body was quite thin and pale. His eyes were pure white. He was carrying a staff. He came up close to Dilandau. "Soon," he said. "It will all begin." Then he seemed to dissolve. "What the hell was that?" Dilandau said. "I don't know," said Celina, quietly. Then her eyes rolled backwards and she fell over. "Celina!" Dilandau said and grabbed her in mid- air. He set her down at the wall and sat next to her. There was a faint hissing noise and footsteps from the other side of the room. "I'm back," a VERY familiar voice said. Van stepped in to the half- light and Dilandau could see there was a very large and visible crack running down the centre of his mask.
AN: Let me explain something here. I'm writing the name Van as if everyone knows it's him, but Dilandau and Celina don't. To them their friend Van has been dead for five years. Just wanted to clear that up.
Van walked over to the corner and leaned against the wall. He started to think. Cue song number two: The Evil That Men Do by Iron Maiden. He had been with Hitomi once before but that had ended in tragedy when he had been walking with her one night and they were attacked by a group of vampires. That was when they had been made vampires. Hitomi hit her head on a tree trunk so she didn't remember her relationship with Van. He started to sing quietly a verse from a song he had heard once, a long time ago.(The Evil That Men Do) It was the second verse which seemed more appropriate. Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems. The seventh lamb slain, The book of life opens before me. But I will pray for you. And some day I may return. I would die for you. Beyond is where I learn.
The evil that men do lives on and on...... The evil that men do lives on and on...... The evil that men do lives on and on...... The evil that men do lives on and on......
"What the hell are you singing?" Dilandau asked. "An old song I heard a long time ago," Van replied. "Why?" "Because I was just thinking.." There was a loud crack and two large pieces of porcelain fell from his face. Van made the mistake of looking up at Dilandau. "VAN!" he said. "You're Dracula!? But!? Why!?" "The song." "What about it?" "It's called the Evil That Men Do. I wrote it down." He took a piece of paper from the inside pocket of his jacket and handed it to Dilandau. Then he became mist and floated out a slit in the wall. Celina woke up. "What happened?" she asked groggily. "I had a dream that Van was here." "He was," Dilandau answered grimly." I'll explain soon," he added, seeing the look on her face.
AN: At last, the end of the chapter! Tell me what you think of the song cues. And there will be AT Least seven more chapters, probably more, one alternate ending that will be chapter 5. And what does the white- haired man have to do with anything. Find out next time.
