SM: Well…I have one review…and it's from Tiffanee…

Tiffanee: Yup!

SM: Thanx Tiff.

Tiffanee: You're welcome! ^_^

Andrew: I'm back! And I brought some charms to ward off demons!

SM: Why?

Andrew: So you and your…friend…I guess that's what she is…anyway so you and your friend can't bug me. 

SM: Right…*Grabs mallet from somewhere and hits Andrew on the head*

Andrew: Back to…the drawing board-oof! *Andrew has been knocked out*

SM: Now let's get on with this!

Disclaimer: I don't own it!

Notice: Remember, the Dragon Slayers have come back to life and are fighting with Zibach once again.  Dilandau and Celeana are two different people now and Folken is back as well.  Dornkirk is still dead and Folken is the Emperor.  I also forgot to say that Dilandau is half Draconian.

(((Last Time)))

Rachael dropped the bow and the now empty quiver.  She let the dagger slip from her hands as she surveyed the damage.  Her emotionless face formed a barely visible, smirk and a sadistic glow flashed in her eyes. 

"Farewell." She said looking to Chesta and Miguel and she was then encased in a blue-white light. 

(((Now)))

Rachael was transported to the backyard of her mansion, just outside the steps.  She unlocked the door and slipped inside.  She went upstairs to clean up first.  She showered and dressed her wounds.  She then put on her favourite outfit a black pair of pants with flames embroidered up the ankles and a black tank-top with a golden dragon on it.

Rachael couldn't stay here for very long because in reality the house was being sold.  Her parents had died and there were no living relatives to inherit any thing.  She too was thought dead. 

All of her family was dead.  They were killed off one by one, hunted for a reason unknown to her.  She was the last of her line.  And she was going to find out the reason for the deaths of her family members. 

Rachael went to the training room and stood before a golden pedestal.  Atop the pedestal encased in glass was a beautifully decorated katana.  The blade had beautiful engravings scratched into it that symbolized victory and skill.  The hilt was gold, encrusted with rubies and black diamonds.  The scabbard was also gold with silver swirling here and there.  Small rubies and black diamonds decorated it. 

Also in the case were two sai.  The three blades on each one, had flames engraved into them and at the cross, where the three blades met, they had the symbol for fire.  The hilts were wrapped in black leather and red silk.  They were kept in simple black leather sheaths. 

Rachael gently opened the glass case and pulled out the two sai.  She strapped them to her belt, one on each side, left and right.  She then removed the katana, looking at it almost reverently.  The magnificent artefact was also strapped to her belt on the left side. 

Rachael grabbed her bag, the black one that went to Gaia and back with her, and slung it over her shoulder.  She then walked outside and proceeded to the stables.  At the very back of the stables there was a section bigger than the rest.  Rachael took a bridle, blanket and saddle to that last stall and opened the door letting out a magnificent black stallion with sapphire blue eyes.  She saddled the horse and led him out into the crisp night air.  There, she mounted and rode off into a dark forest. 

Riding for what seemed like hours Rachael finally made it to a clearing where a white marble pillar once stood.  The pillar had been broken eons ago and now was used as a table for a book her father once told her about, the book that would give her the answers that she needs.  But only the answers that she needs. 

Rachael rode up close and plucked the book from the table.  She opened her bag and slipped it in.  There was a sudden rustle in the bushes then and a black blur shot out and raced towards Rachael and her stallion.  The 'blur' jumped up and made its way up to perch itself on Rachael's shoulders.  Once it stopped a small black cat sat there completely at ease.  The ever watchful eyes were emerald green. 

"Now what?" Rachael asked more to herself than her new companions.  But the answer was clear.  There was one more place to go.

SM: Don't kill me! I know it's short but I'll have a new chapter out soon!

Tiffanee: You'd better!

Andrew: Yeah!

SM: Since when did you take an interest in my writing, Andrew?

Andrew: Uh…Bye!

SM: OK! See you next chappy! Oh! And take note of Rachael's new companions.

Tiffanee: Review!
