'What a nightmare.......' I thought, bringing my hand up to my head. My eyes were still closed, and I could feel the pain in my stomach from where the blade in my dream had entered. "To realistic." I grumbled. Suddenly, I felt a cold wash cloth being placed on my forehead. I frowned. "Mom?" I questioned opening one eye.

"No, I'm not you're mother."

My other eye flew open and I jerked back from the smiling man stationed above me. "Alfeegi?" I asked cautiously. "Am I.... still dreaming?" I raised my eyebrow in question and reached up brushing my hand across Alfeegi's cheek, feeling warm flesh under my fingers.

"No you aren't dreaming. You're laying in my bed after throwing yourself in front of a blade meant for me. You saved my life and I don't even know you're name." Alfeegi said, his smile turning into a very stern look. I smiled, knowing exactly what was coming. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW STUPID THAT WAS!? WHY WOULD YOU RISK YOUR LIFE FOR SOMEONE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW!?.........."

I shook my head smiling wider. 'An Alfeegi lecture...... Man, now I know what Ruwalk and Kai-Stern feel like.' I laughed moving and trying to sit up, only to return with pain shooting through my body. "OW! Damn it!" I cried out, putting my hand on my bloody and bandaged stomach.

"I wouldn't move if I were you." Alfeegi said, ending his lecture and throwing a stern glance my way. "You lost a lot of blood and Rath's blade went all the way through you."

He began to slowly wipe the sweat from my forehead, and I sighed laying myself back down. "But........" I complained.

"No buts." He responded, glaring at me again.

"HUMPH!" I turned over and closed my eyes. "By the way.... My name is Kaitsu......"

"SHE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO SAVE HIM!!!" An angry voice yelled to no one. "HE WAS MEANT TO DIE! HE HAS TO DIE!" It was Reema, the Faerie of Death. She continued to yell, throwing objects across the room she was in.

In the recesses of my mind, someone laughed. A dark, almost demonic force was listening to Reema yell, and was enjoying it. With a final laugh, the thing in the back of my mind exited my body, causing me to go unconscious in the process. The person continued to laugh, as it's image was projected in front of Reema.

"Alfeegi has not, and will not die Reema." The thing said advancing on Reema.

"What...what are you doing here Kaitsu!?" Reema cried backing away.

The thing that had exited my body was an exact copy of me..... everything was the same...... facial features, body structure....everything....

"I am here to tell you that myself and the REAL Kaitsu have been sent here to defend the Dragon Knights and the Dragon Officers. Even if my conscious mind does not realize that is our purpose."

Reema stopped moving. Who are you?" She questioned glaring at the copy of me.

The copy smiled and laughed menacingly. "I am the demon locked within Kaitsu's unconscious mind. I AM Kaitsu....... I was born the moment she was brought to this world...... I was born to protect this world for the tragedy that is to befall it."

'KAITSU! KAITSU!' The other Kaitsu was hearing Alfeegi's cries and with a quick mocking bow she said her final words. "Now, before Alfeegi thinks I am dead, I shall leave. Reema, if I see you, smell you, or even sense you near Alfeegi or the Dragon Castle.... I will hunt you down..... and I will succeed in disposing of you properly. Goodbye.... Faerie of Death."

"Kaitsu!? KAITSU!? Are you ok!?"

I gasped as I woke up. "What...... Happened?" I questioned.

Alfeegi sighed. "You passed out suddenly and stopped breathing. Are you sure you're ok?"

I brought my hand up to my head as sudden, unexpected tears began to flow down my face. Something had happened while I was passed out, but I couldn't remember... the only thing I remember was the sadistic laughing at the back of my mind.........

I felt Alfeegi rest his hand on my shoulder, and the tears came harder and faster. "What the matter Kaitsu?"

I looked up at him, strangled sobs exiting my throat. I didn't know how to tell him that I knew people we re going to die..... How he should have died...... Rath..... Kai-stern....... Of course Rath was going to be brought back to life by Crewger's body and Kai-sterns life force..... And now, since Alfeegi was alive..... Rune would probably die to since he would not have the power of the White Dragon Ball to control Varawoo and the Dragon Lords power.

I finally spoke. "Every now and then, I find myself looking for ways to know the future. I always see things in my mind that seem to find me in the unstoppable future.... I'm not saying I'm a fortune teller or someone who reads palms.... I just see myself a lot....... In places I don't want to be. I dream it all the time...... Being somewhere that might not be right. Doing something that deep down feels wrong, but I want to do it anyway." I moved closer Alfeegi burying my face in his shirt. "Do you dream what's next?"

I felt Alfeegi's heart pace quicken, and then he spoke. "Every once in a while, I dream what's next....... See what's next........ Yes."

I continued to speak my head still in Alfeegi's shirt. "In this life we dream so much........ We can only guess what's next in this challenge built for us...... But I see what's next....... Know what's next........ I'm burning out....... I mean, to a certain extent. I also find myself tired a lot. Run down from trying to do so much, falling asleep in places that aren't meant for sleep. It seems my life is a constant, and as of late, consistent rush. Everything moves and happens so fast. It gets to where it's hard to keep up."

I sighed again. "Every now and then it feels as if this body is just a shell walking this plane we call Earth..... heh...... Every now and then..... Creates a good relationship. It doesn't let your water run dry..... Nor does it flood you. It surrounds you with the perfect peace." I lifted my head from Alfeegi's tears soaked shirt and ran my fingers through my hair and wiped my tears away. "Not that you have a clue what I speak of....."

I saw a small smile creep across Alfeegi's face and I frowned. "Do you find something FUNNY in my pain?" I asked angrily.

"No, I do not. It's just that I know exactly what you are talking about. You know things..... Things that are going to happen in this castle do you not? That is how you knew that Rath was going to kill me."

My eyes widened in surprise. "How.... Did you know!?" I yelled moving even closer to Alfeegi.

Alfeegi laughed. "I didn't. You just told me."

I looked at him and began to laugh with him. "Hahahahaha! Now I know what Ruwalk means by how you know everything." Suddenly, my hand flew over my mouth as I remembered something that I should have remembered long before.

"AH SHIT!" I yelled, jumping up, ignoring the pain shooting through my body. "Did you seen Ruwalk, Rune or Rath after I passed out!?" I yelled.

Alfeegi shook his head, trying to sit me back down. "No, I haven't. now lay back down!"

I shook my head, grabbing Alfeegi's wrist and pulling him towards the door. "Well, we need to find them then! Rath, he's gonna awaken Varawoo from inside rune, and then he's gonna awaken the Demon Lord!"

Alfeegi's eyes widened. "But..... that is impossible... he cannot....." He stuttered.

"TRY TELLING RATH THAT!" I yelled, yanking him out the door.

"Rath!? What in the hell does Rath have to do with this!?"

I laughed, wondering how someone as smart as Alfeegi could be so.....STUPID! "Heh! Remember that little incident where Rath tried to kill you!? Yeah...... THAT'S what Rath has to do with this!" I pulled him down the hallway guessing which way's to go. "Damn it! I shouldn't have started talking! I should have remembered this sooner! To much fun talking with Alfeegi and I forget what I have to do." I shook my head. 'Wait.... Have to do? No, I don't have to do it, I want to do it. Heh..... Stupid me.'

Alfeegi gasped for air stumbling behind me. "GAH! WAIT WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?" He yelled, trying to stop me from running but failing.

"Wait till we get there stupid!" I yelled, beginning to shake my head. 'I must be serious.... I just called Alfeegi stupid..... TO HIS FACE!'

I ran..... I ran for the lives I had to and wanted to save. For the people I knew were going to die.......

"This time you have no one around to save you. And this time I won't stop until you're dead!" It was Rath..... he was doing it..... trying to kill Rune!

I stopped quickly causing Alfeegi to run into me and make me fly forward on my face. I grumbled, quickly pulling myself to my feet. "Jesus......." I mumbled dryly putting one hand on my face and rubbing where it hurt.

"I am SO sorry! Are you ok!?" Alfeegi cried, taking one step towards me.

I put my other hand out and shoved it into his chest causing him to stumble backwards. "Do NOT move from this spot. I mean it...... I just SAVED your life and I don't feel like having to save it AGAIN!" With a final glare, I ran down the hallway shooting around the corner when I reached the end.

I quickly spotted Rath. I yelled out, hoping to make him loose his concentration. With a jerk, he turned towards me and raised a inquisitive eyebrow. "YOU'RE WRONG RATH! He has ME!"

I screamed in pain as I tackled Rath and tore my wounds open again. I felt Rune collapse behind me as Rath's attention turned from Rune to me. I had gotten there just in time...... Rune was unconscious, but alive. And Varawoo was safely sealed inside of him still.

"You're the one that saved Alfeegi! WHO ARE YOU!?" Rath shouted.

I smiled down at him. I had his hands held down on either side of his head and I was straddling his waist. It was the best way to hold someone down, but when he wanted to, Rath could push me off as quick as a feather. "Who am I? I'm a friend sent to save you." I Whispered, leaning down and placing a soft kiss on his forehead.

"SAVE me? Heh..... Your to late to save me." Rath said, laughing menacingly. Suddenly his eyes went from my face to my chest.

I gasped blushing furiously. 'What a perv! At a time like this and he's looking at my chest!?' "You perv! MY FACE ISN'T DOWN THERE!" I yelled preparing to slap him.

"Don't flatter yourself." He growled. "Why do you posses a Light Dragon Amulet!?"

"Huh? OH YEA! This thing." I said, taking one of my hands away from Rath to grab the Amulet. "Honestly..... I have NO CLUE why I have this. I come to this world....... Er..... to this castle, with it on me already. And you know what that means Rath." I said smiling at him.

Rath growled, throwing me off of him. "This wont be the last time you see me youkai!" He stood quickly, taking off in the opposite direction.

I stood up, holding the severely bloodied bandages on my stomach. I could feel the auras of four new people where I was. "I thought I told you to stay put Alfeegi." I said, turning around and smiling.

Alfeegi blushed a little and plastered his signature lecture frown on his face. "I heard you scream so I came to see if you were ok. Plus..... I only follow the orders of the Dragon Lord!"

I giggled and turned again and bowed. "And speaking of the Dragon Lord. It is a pleasure Lord Lykouleon.......... Thatz......... Ruwalk." I walked to Ruwalk and poked his nose winking at him. "Took ya long enough. I passed out, almost died, talked to Alfeegi forever and STILL got here before you slow poke!"

Ruwalk got defensive. "Hey! I had to help the Dragon Lord! He......."

I held up my hand. "He is wounded. I know this." I walked over to the Dragon Lord, taking him by the hand.

He tried to pull away. "But my blood! You'll die!"

I smiled. "Meh! I do not FEAR death your highness." I pulled him towards the unconscious Rune, and took one of Rune's hands in my free hand. "Lord Lykouleon, grab his other hand." Reluctantly, Lykouleon grabbed Rune's other hand. "Now.... Concentrate..." I closed my eyes and began to mumble a healing chant. "Delateno...... Esclenato........ Passim........ Lavie........ Delena....... Demonato........ Kelntao......." I repeated the chant three times and then opened my eyes. "Blessed be."

I looked from Lykouleon to Rune. Lykouleon was no longer bleeding, I had removed the curses that Rath had placed upon his body, and Rune was waking.... Slowly but surely.

Lord Lykouleon looked at me and gasped. "You're covered in my blood!"

I looked down examining myself. "Well, it looks as though I am immune to you're blood Lord Lykouleon." I giggled and stood up. "We must find Rath now...... but first..... I want to make sure that everyone is safe if we end up fighting. Come to me and join hands in a circle."

Ruwalk, Lykouleon, Thatz, a reluctant Alfeegi, and a stumbling Rune joined hands. "Now, I don't know a lot of useful spells....... So this will only work if everyone within this circle believes it will work. Do you all believe?" I looked around. Everyone but Alfeegi was nodding at me. "Alfeegi? Please.... It is the only way to keep you safe for now." Alfeegi sighed and nodded slowly. Smiling a squeezed his hand. "Thank you....... Now, concentrate again."

We all closed our eyes and I breathed in deep. "Circle of safety, circle of light, protect our bodies, protect our souls. We fight for what we believe is right, please protect us." A cool breeze ruffled my hair and I opened my eyes, seeing a glowing white circle surrounding us. "Blessed be." I said smiling. "that is an old spell, but it should protect us from being mortally wounded anyway."

Alfeegi looked at me questioningly. "Are you a witch?"

I smiled. "It would be Wiccan..... and no I am not at the moment. My friend taught me those spells, and I have the power to perform them. That's all." I bowed and looked around at the confused and dazed faces. "Now..... we shall go. Or you're world will turn upside down. Rath and others will die.... And the Demon Lord Nadil will be reborn from Rath."

The faces around me turned shocked and I looked on sadly. "Now come.... I have another life to save." I turned and began to walk slowly away from the group.

'Rath.... Please just don't give in..... not yet...... not now....... I know you have the power......'
