A.N.: DO I really need to say it again? Read chapter one, it's there!!
Bweeheehee!! Well, umm, yeah, I finally got off my butt and decided to write up and post the sixth chapter. I hope you guys are still interested in reading.. *looks around the empty room* Or maybe not.
Chibi-Vash: Well, you have no one to blame but yourself! If you'd bothered to type this sooner then maybe people would still be reading it!
I DO have someone.. Or should it be something to blame though! My German oral exam! Hah! THAT'S why I didn't update! =P
Chibi-Vash: .. Whatever!! I suppose laziness has nothing to do with it either? Your oral was three weeks ago!!
Details!! ... *gets down on her knees* OMG!! Forgive me people who bother to read!! I have been bad!!
Chibi-Vash: Get on with the fic!

The Future Drags On
There was no sense in lingering at The Pillars any longer, shifting to the spectral realm, I started north once again, with new thoughts.
I climbed the steps behind the eerily silent pillars, and continued towards the Subterranean Ruins, the haunt of the Elder God, the monstrosity who condemned me to this hideous state.
I entered the chamber the beast resided in, awaiting the usual bombardment of comments, criticisms and threats, only to be met by complete and utter silence. Most unusual. I spared the 'God' a glance as I leapt over the water, and received an almost surly glare.
"What? Nothing to say? This really is abnormal for one such as yourself. Every time I have passed through here I have received a dose of venom from you. Why not now?"
My only reply was silence. Perhaps this being truly had no hold over me anymore, if it ever had, or perhaps, fate had deemed his ownership of me void. This, I suppose left me to fate, and fate alone. At least now I did not need to test his power or patience further, I had other boundaries to explore.
I met no resistance as I slipped into the water, though I'm sure that I could see rebellion in those giant eyes, or maybe it was just my mind, I wouldn't have thought squiddy could have expressive eyes.
I carried on through the ruins and navigated the swamp, leaping here and there to avoid the sticky, stagnant waters, and demon carcasses left by yours truly. I proceeded to climb my way up to the Mountain Passes, plodding through the high, twisting passages, passing yet more corpses of Sarafan guards, demons and the ever-persecuted vampires.
It did not take me too long before I passed through the gates of Uschtenheim, the hunting grounds of Janos, and I was not surprised to find the streets deserted. There were still mortals here, hiding away in their houses and I assumed that it would not be too long before some of them gathered enough courage to investigate the sudden lull in the activity that had been outside.
Rather than risk the inhabitants lynching me I opted to pass through the town quickly rather take my time, regaining my physical state like I usually would have done.
Passing through the northern gates of Uschtenheim, I drew ever closer to Janos' Retreat, and ever closer to Frozen Wastelands of Nosgoth.

Okay, I've just noticed that this chapter, having been written quite a while after chapter 5, makes Raziel seem a tad out of character. Eh, for that my friends, I DO so apologise profusely!!
Chibi-Vash: *mutters something about it being Jess' own fault*
*mutters back* Well, eh after that short intermission, here are the thank ee's and stuff.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Thanks to:-
Angel-chan -- Well, suppose so, here have another plush! *hands over a Raz. plushie* I do hope that you liked this chapter (if indeed you still are reading it) and I promise that I WILL work on the next chapter far sooner than the time it took me to spout of this chapter! Chibi-Vash: *snort* Yeah right..
Lora-helen -- Well Bushell, THIS time you did NOT hear this chapter over the phone!! *cackles* Although you will probably know what is in it anyway as you have spent most over the time reading it over my shoulder. AND while I was TRYING to do your thankee.. But oh well!! Thanks for the music box. Thing. It can go with all the other LoK stuff gifted to me by you and Light.
Deionarra -- Well guess what? STILL no sign of the blasted chapter notes!! I think we need to draft in a new God of Finding Lost Things because I think the current one has lost himself (that or he's playing Jenga somewhere! Lol)!! Thanks for the pos. feedback about Raz. being IC and true, I find Kain a little bastard to write IC in. I tried to practice it for a future chappy but well.. The results weren't too good. Kain and Raz will meet again in the future, I just need to think of some good sarcastic venom for them to exchange! =D
VladimirsAngel -- Firstly, I would like to gift you with some SulleySenior jagged pins, they work magic with revenge voodoo against those who voodoo you!! The Chibi-Vash certainly appreciated the pins (which I did NOT) and happily scoffed cookies. They were, I've been told, very tasty. Thanks for the pos. comment 'bout ol' Razzy. This chapter, I don't feel really met up to the usually standards, but I hope you partially enjoyed it!
Lisa-Ann -- Thankee Step for reading!! I have to object however, voodoo is good (so long as you are not on the receiving end)!! If you are finally bowing to me, does that mean I get a throne? And a pedestal? And gold? And. Chibi-Vash: Well done. Now you've really set her off!! Just like the time about the rights to LoK!!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Well, I KNOW that this chapter could be SO much better, and I'm eternally sorry that after such a long wait this chapter wasn't fantastically entertaining, but well, it was just one of the chapters that No ONE really wants to read but is essential anyway. I do however promise and can guarantee that the upcoming chapters are better written and far more interesting.
Hope to see you at the next chapter!!
Chibi-Vash: LOVE & PEACE!!
