Okay okay, don't make fun of me but I wrote the verses in this by myself so I'm a little bit…. Wary… no unkind joke make-ing okay?
Well this is the chapter that I use the rhyme in… and I hope it will be long *crosses fingers* but I don't know how long my attention span will last! ^_^
Well, ENJOY!
(Sound track begins this chapter, *warning for those of you that don't like Evanescence I'm sorry but there will probably a few of their songs ~_~ just ignore it if you don't like it. I'll put in a not when you should put on the music ^_~)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Allen found a small spring a few steps away from the statue, and he found a bucket close to it. It seemed he hadn't been the first to admire this stony beauty. He decided to send for one of his men from the Crusade to cut him some firewood. He hadn't chopped wood before and he didn't intend to start.
He started his hike back towards where the Crusade, thinking that the crew wouldn't be up, and decided to ask Acren for his help.
As he passed through the trees he came to the clearing that the crew was to camp on. He tried to separate his thoughts and suddenly, a thread of-lately more illusive than usual-common sense glimmered in his mind.
"I must be nuts," he muttered aloud as he stood in the center of the clearing, "I must be seriously loosing my mind. I've ordered my crew to camp in the middle of no where, and we were already on a tight schedule." He squeezed the bridge of his nose. He started his hike up again. "We'll leave. This little indulging in my imagination must stop. I have a job to do."
'Please don't leave me, dear knight…'
Allen was startled out of his thoughts by this echoed voice reverberating around in his head.
'I need you… as you need me…'
"Who the hell says so!? I don't need you! I'm fine by myself!" Allen shouted at the trees around.
'You need me… you're lonely…'
"I've got remedies for that," he muttered, "and to get to them, I must leave here and get back to civilisation."
'You need more than that… you know that deep in your heart… Allen Shezar…'
"Leave me the fuck alone!" he screamed. His mind clouded and he blacked out. No one was around in the forest to see him slump to the forest floor.

"Gaddes get your ugly face the FUCK DOWN HERE!!!" Bono scrambled up the steps towards where Gaddes was standing atop a barrel.
"Oh calm down Bono, there's no need to cuss you lazy ass-" Gaddes began to laugh out loud.
"Oh there is PLENTY reason to cuss you shit faced moron!" Bono's face began to get redder and redder. The agonised anger that was miraculously distinctive on his features seemed to tear through his body with amazing tremors of pure and unbridled fury.
"Calm yourself, Bono. You don't need to be embarrassed in front of the crew."
"LIKE I GIVE A SHIT!" Bono screamed at the top of his lungs.
The whole crew was, by this time, pretty much tearing themselves up with laughter.
"Oh when I get a hold of you boy," Bono growled low, "you will be in for an ASS-WHOOPING OF EPIC PROPORTIONS!"
"Oh shit!" yelled Gaddes. He jumped from his high perch and began to tear off towards… pretty much anything that he could hide in, under, or on. Just as Bono was about to tear off after him they heard loud yelling and Gaddes froze and turned towards the forest. "It's the boss!" he yelled, "come on! He needs help!"
Everyone, forgetting the current brawl, grabbed their swords and took off towards the ladder to the surface.

'Allen…'
"Where am I?" Allen's voice echoed through the mist and haze.
'No matter… help me… please…"
"How can I help you?" Allen asked, exasperated, "Who are you?"
'You know…'
"I think so, but please enlighten me."
'Tyrael… the Stone Maiden…'
"Ah…" said Allen, "How are you speaking to me?"
'I wish to be free…' the voice whispered, 'it does not matter, Lord… just that I am speaking to you…'
"You are an actual being?"
'A ghost… a woman imprisoned in an enchantment only escaped by honourable death…'
"How do I free you?"
'I cannot… directly… tell you……' the voice began to fade, 'only… do it soon…'
"Push me in the right direction!" Allen said loudly.
'The enchantment… read the enchantment….' The voice now dropped to a distant whisper, 'Free…. Me….'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Boss!" Gaddes franticly shook Allen's body, "Boss answer me!"
Allen suddenly gasped. As his lungs filled with air, his eyes fluttered open.
"What happened, sir?" asked Acren standing just behind with an anxious expression on his face.
"Just grew-short of breath," Allen smiled and stood. He brushed himself off.
"You're sure you're okay?" Gaddes gave him a sceptical look.
"Positive."
Gaddes sighed with relief. "Oh gods, you scared the LIFE outa me!"
"Sorry Gaddes. I was actually on my way to the Crusade," Allen glanced around at all the men congregated around him. "I must have a scream like a steam whistle. I find it hard to believe that I roused the whole crew from slumber…?"
Gaddes gave a smirk at that. "No, indeed, sir. I 'roused' em my self. I was gonna start to set up camp early."
"Good idea." Allen had an amused smile on his face.
"What did you need, sir?"
"Oh that's right. I need an able bodied crewman to help me chop some wood at my own camp."
"Oh I'm sure we can find someone for that," Gaddes grinned evilly, "Bono will gladly help."
"LIKE BLOODY HELL I WILL!"
"… indeed" said Allen, with amused uncertainty, "well come along Bono. I suggest you all get around to your tasks, Bono will return in around half an hour."
"Aye, sir. You lot! Get to work!" Gaddes shouted to the men. They went along back to the ship grumbling. Bono angrily stomped off after Allen.
"What will you need, sir?" Bono asked.
"I just need you to chop some wood."
"Aye sir."
Allen and Bono continued their walk in respectful silence and when Allen judged that they were close enough to his camp to escape the embarrassment of being found with the statue. He paused and looked around to give the impression he recognised the area.
"Wait here, I'll get an axe. This is where I wish to have my wood from."
"Aye sir." Bono grumbled sourly. Allen quickly went and grabbed an axe. He handed it to Bono and Bono began to chop at the trunk of a tree. Allen watched for a few minutes, then walked along the path to his camp.
When he reached his little glade, he walked straight up to the statue and began to look for any sort of inscription. He found that the statue's feet were attached to a rock. He began to dig away the soil around the front of it and he found a large imprint of a hand. He stared at it for a matter of minutes and finally reached his shaky hand towards the rock. When his hand fell into place, it looked like it was made for his hand. A black sort of electric current seemed to pull his hand and fingers into place. Suddenly what looked like script formed from the same sort of electric charge. Allen read them with wide eyes.
'Love be lost and love be found,
Still to you will I be bound.
You see my eyes, you see my face,
You see my stony, sombre grace.
These be thine and thine alone,
Maiden of Stone I am your own.
But as I turn forth from thy will,
And binding enchantment so I kill.
I will run to punishment that forever I have known
For I will turn back to my prison.
My prison... The Stone.'
Suddenly the statue moved and knelt. Her head was down as she knelt before him.
"Master, Lord, Allen Shezar… I am Tyrael," as she said her name, she looked up at him and her blue gem-like eyes sparkled and glittered. The stone texture of her skin suddenly absorbed into a pale, white complexion, and her hair flashed bright silver, and then turned black.
