UpbeatSweetie heart wrenches with the pain and anger that washes over her. She knows it's not her pain she feels, but that of her Dragon Sister's. A single crystal tear escapes from her eye, as she contemplates what she must do now. It tears at her heart, knowing this will more than likely drive these two souls further apart, but it must be done. Nothing must endanger the Mystical Realms. Too many had been lost in the last great battle between the Heavens and Darkness.

UpbeatSweetie wipes away the tear, wondering at the perfection of light and color caught within it's crystal prisms. She slowly takes a deep breath, removing all sorrow from her mind, as she slowly lets herself separate from her physical form. Slowly, UpbeatSweetie looks about the mists, seeking that tenuous line between herself and her sister. Calmly and with purpose, Sweetie walks along that path, following it to a slumbering vampiress.

As she approaches the vampress, a dragon steps into her way, protecting his mistress. "Be at peace great and wise GhidornRa. I come in peace and intend no harm to your mistress. But you know that I must do my duty, to protect your kind and future generations of those I protect. "

UpbeatSweetie feels the loss and pain coursing through this magnificent creature. She shares the pain with him, knowing that soon they may be locked in battle against one another, not by each other's sides as she had hoped. Gently, Sweetie embraces GhidornRa for what may be the last time. She send her thoughts towards him, ensuring him she'll not willing seek to cause him or his mistress harm.

With a final caress and embrace, UpbeatSweetie takes a calming breath. Trying to put to rest her own pain and concerns. But vowing that she'll work towards returning things to their rightful balance.

Slowly, UpbeatSweetie sits down beside the slumbering vampress. She gently moves a stray hair away from the woman's face. Slowly, she lowers her head, and places a gentle kiss on her brow. A lone tear rolls down her cheek, falling on this beautiful woman, who's heart has been torn asunder by all the conflicts recently. The tear crystallizes on the vampiress's forehead, a remembrance of the unity that had existed between these two women.

Sweetie whispers into the woman's ear,"Cerri, my sister of my heart, know that I hold no ill-will towards you or yours. I will honor you, by returning what was stolen from you. I prepare now to walk the veils, to seek that which you thought lost. But, it tears my heart, to do what I must now. Know I do this not in anger, but to protect that which we both have held dear. I must take back, that which I had given you as a way into the Mystical Realms. I must keep this sacred place safe, from those that would use it to destroy all things. Know that what you lost, will be found and kept safe within it, and will do what you can not do at this time"

With those final words, Sweetie sings the song of the dragons. Her song is filled with the great pain and loss of those that are lost. As she sings, the tattoos on her arm begin to writhe and move.

Cerri wears a ring of a dragon wrapped around her slender fingers. As Sweetie extends her hand, the dragon slowly writhes and unwraps itself. It stands up, beats it's wings, singing along with Sweetie. It's song echos the pain within the guardian's soul. As the song ends, the dragon looks one last time at the slumbering vampiress, than joins the living tattoos on the exposed arm of Sweetie.

With a final look of longing, UpbeatSweetie kisses her friend good-bye. "I will keep my promise to you, my sister. And know that if you ever find your way back to the light, that I will be waiting for you. I now must go and retrieve that which was stolen from us all."
