Okay I'm back from vacation and it turned out that my parents wanted to surprise my sister and me and drive us all the way from Seattle to Montana. We went to Glacier National park and saw a grey wolf, a grizzly, a moose, several mountain goats and big horn sheep, and an elk! We went to Canada and saw an orca on the way. There was a guy in a KILT! I love kilts! Don't ask why. Anyways I should get to the disclaimer and correct the mistakes in this thing. God, there are a lot. I'll get started on Chapter 3 as soon as possible, which might take a while because my parents keep using this computer. Okay I don't own Dragon Knights, as much as I want to after reading 15! So don't sue! Please! All you'd get would be over used manga and my bokken. And you can't have it! "'hugs sword"' Okay Here's chapter 2! Enjoy! Oh and please no flames! Even though I haven't had any yet! YAY!

Chapter two

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

He looked down at the unconscious form of a tall teenage human girl. Her long black hair was strewn over her face and the floor. Garfakcy indifferently turned his sword back into ash and gathered the rest of his belongings, which were folded up under the cot he had spent the night on. He remembered how he had foolishly collapsed last night. He had been too weak to transport by magic then. Now he knew he could manage using Kharl's magic to get to Arinas and back to his Kharl-sama. He was about to leave using the magic ashes, when a stack of books next to him caught his eye. The top book read, "The Demon Bible, by the Renkin Wizard, Kharl"

Garfakcy walked over to examine the leather bound book. It was worn, as though someone had read it many times. He opened the book and immediately recognized his master's work. But what would an ordinary human girl want with a book like the Demon Bible? He looked closer. Underneath the Demon Bible was a red leather book with a gold drawing of a moon. Under that were multiple spell books and books about curses. The book that looked as worn as the Demon Bible was entitled, "Living a Cursed Life, How To Survive After Being Cursed "

He returned the books to their original places, and looked at the girl. She seemed ordinary, but why would a normal girl have spell books and the Demon Bible? He was about to ponder more when the girl groaned. He realized he still needed to grab his shirt and belt from under the cot. He rushed over to the cot just as Toukina's eyes fluttered open.

Toukina looked up, thinking very quickly, 'Why am I on the floor of my room? What happened?' She remembered the sword coming at her face as she saw Garfakcy out of the corner of her eye, and thought, 'He had just swung his sword at my head...Am I dead?' She quickly realized that no, she was not dead. Toukina turned to see Garfakcy bending down next to the cot. She suppressed a groan as she felt a trickle of blood coming from a bump on her forehead. Her head pounded with pain as she stood up. Garfakcy turned to see her stand. They were only about four strides apart.

Neither of them noticed the small waterlight, Tenicia, return through the window as Garfakcy quickly pulled his magic ashes out to make the long journey home in a matter of seconds. Toukina assumed he was conjuring another sword and tackled him in efforts to stop his magic. She had no idea that touching the ashes he was using to go to Arinas would take her there as well. The small waterlight flew onto Toukina's back as the three of them were taken to Arinas.

Toukina had no idea what was happening as black flames surrounded her. She grabbed Garfakcy's arm, which she couldn't see because of the black flames. The waterlight reached out and pulled herself into a bow on Toukina's dress. Garfakcy cursed as he felt the girl latch onto him. He didn't want to bring her. The last thing Kharl's castle needed was a human girl, as unusual as she may be. They landed lightly on the lawn in front of the castle.

Toukina didn't have a chance to open her eyes before she felt herself being pushed away by the arm she had been holding onto. The waterlight didn't move. No one had seen her yet, and Toukina might need her. She pulled herself tighter into Toukina's dress. Toukina opened her eyes and thoughts ran through her mind at a fast pace, 'Where in hell am I? How did I get here? Who is this Garfakcy? I thought he was human, but humans can't use magic, though I wish we could...What have I gotten myself into? Will he kill me this time? I have to be really careful if we fight again...my damned curse! Is that a castle behind Garfakcy? It is so big and beautiful! There's a well kept garden, as well. I wonder if I can get home, if I get out of this situation... Do I really want to get home? I hated living in that inn. I wonder... would it be so bad if I never saw Luwa again...I shouldn't be thinking about this right now. I have a situation! It's this man, Garfakcy. I need to know more about him. I wonder if he really wants to kill me or not. I hope not. Is this his castle? He doesn't really look like the kind who would own a castle. If it isn't his, whose is it? And why did he bring me here, and better yet, how did we get here? I need answers!'

Garfakcy watched her eyes gaze around the castle for a few seconds, and then barked, "What the hell were you thinking? I didn't kill you, and was getting ready to leave. Why did you come with me?"

Toukina had had no idea that he was going to use the ashes for transportation, but she didn't want him to know that. She had no idea what she could say instead, and thought of something to say as she said, "I...ano..."

Luckily Garfakcy interrupted her saying, "Oh well, it doesn't matter. You'll either be here for a while or you'll die soon, as most humans who cross my path. I should know your name, not that I care."

"It's Toukina."

"Toukina, I suppose you will have to see my master, Kharl"

"Kharl? Does he have any other title?" Toukina thought back to the Demon Bible, a book she had come across by means of a poor traveler who had given her the book for a meal. It had been a very intriguing book. She had read it many times. It couldn't be the same Kharl, though. She would never meet the Renkin Wizard.

"Kharl-sama? He has many. Fortune tellers know him as the one winged angel. Some know him as the Alchemist. Others, such as you, know him as the Renkin Wizard." Garfakcy smiled as he saw the girl's face react to the familiar name.

"The Renkin Wizard? The man who authored the Demon Bible? I never thought..."

"Yes," Garfakcy walked closer to her, "I would also like to ask you how a normal human girl, such as yourself, came across one of his books. Are you really an ordinary human? You look like one, and seemingly live like one, but then again, I'm not exactly your ordinary human myself, but that will be for a later time. For now you have two choices; either to follow me inside or to fight me, and probably die in the process."

"And what if I want to wait out here in the open?"

"Then," Garfakcy punched her in the stomach as he began his next sentence, "this will have to do."

This knocked Toukina out again. He picked up the unconscious girl and carried her in as he limped into the castle. Inside a room just inside he discarded the girl on a couch in one of the many library/study rooms in the castle. After thinking to himself, 'I've got to clean this room', he took a key from a hook next to the door and walked out into the hallway to lock the door. He was about to leave, then sealed the lock with magic before continuing. Garfakcy looked down at his bandages that were falling off as he walked toward Kharl's lab. He discarded the bandages in a waste bin and continued to his master Kharl.

Tenicia came out of the bow on Toukina's dress. The waterlight looked at the blood on Toukina's head from being knocked out the first time. She asked the unconscious girl, "What have you gotten yourself into? You are very lucky I'm here," as she began to heal her.

Toukina's eyes fluttered open to see the small fairy heal her. She mumbled, "Tenicia? When did you get here? Where is here, for that matter? Where did Garfakcy go?"

"Garfakcy? Is that the name of the man? Well, anyways, I came here with you, but you didn't see or feel me as I grabbed your back. As for where we are, I haven't the slightest, though, we are locked in this room."

Toukina got up and examined the room. There were tons of books and parchments lying around, as well as stacked on the shelves. There was a desk next to a window across from the large couch she had been lying on. There were also some vials and beakers that had not been used in ages. There was one door to her right. Everything was painted a beautiful color of deep red. The furniture, door, and bookshelves were all cherry wood. Everything was covered in dust. She walked over to the door, just to make sure it was locked. It was. She tried to pick it with a pin from her dress, but it didn't work. Over the next several minutes, the two girls talked about where they could be, how a human could use magic, and what they would do when Garfakcy got back. Toukina eventually began looking over the parchments lying on the table. She found a map of what she first assumed to be a small uncharted island, but when she looked at the scale the map used, she saw that, according to this map, the island was actually a continent much larger than the one she lived on. She wondered, 'Does a place this big really exist? Could this be where we are?' She continued and found many equations about potions. Some of them were titled things like, "Sickness Enhancer" or "Death Rose" but others were titled, "Healing potion, etc." After about forty minutes she heard a set of footsteps coming down the hallway. She immediately had Tenicia hide in her pocket and sat down on the couch to wait for whoever it was.

The door opened and revealed a fairly pissed off Garfakcy who said, "Come, Kharl-sama wishes to speak to you. I don't suggest running away. Outside these walls are many demons who would love to eat a human girl like you."
