Okay, first of all, thank you RathIlluser-012 for being my first reviewer, rathlover (you reviewed twice, I love you! Not... in... that... way... though), aquajogger, and Ss JK for reviewing! (I was so happy when I opened my inbox!) And sorry if it is kind of late; School is killing me with work. (Darn teachers...sigh)

Oh yeah, and aquajogger you're right about there being five officers, but Rath isn't technically the Red Dragon Officer... I think (personally, I think this whole officer/ knight thing is a little confusing, so I'm not really going to address it) And yes there are 5 Dragon Knights but only 3 were at the castle. Right?

Also to aquajogger: I feel so touched that you got up so early in the morning to read my story. Just, so touched.

Ss JK (?): You're right; I just hope that doesn't discourage you from reading on! Oh, and this'll probably be strange too, but that's just the way it is.

You really brightened my day! (Especially since I just found out I had to write a 5 paragraph essay that's due tomorrow. I thought it was 5 sentences!)

Anyway, here's more of the—

DC: Ahem.

Me: Oh yeah, disclaim!

DC: iamarealangelandimnotlying still doesn't own Dragon Knights

Various characters from the Dragon Knights cast: AND NEVER WILL!!!

Me: Geese, way to make me feel ostracized

Bierrez: We try our best

Rath: Anyway, enjoy more of my story!

Me: Are you still on about that?

Rath: Yup!

Rath Goes Insane Chapter 3 The Explanation

Rath relaxed his muscles, and realized what he had just said. But it didn't matter now. What did matter? While he was organizing his thoughts, he heard a knock on the door. He didn't bother responding; it was probably someone coming to tell even more about this fake life, and this fake world.

Although he did not give permission, the door to his "room" began to open slowly.

"Ronald?" The individual asked. Rath turned away. The voice belonged to Cesia.

"Ronald, may I come in?" She asked. He sighed, giving authorization for her to come closer. As she walked in, Rath could hear her heels click against the polished surface of the mental ward's floor. She grabbed a small, metal chair and gently carried it over to his bedside.

Sitting down, she sighed, and began to speak. "Ronald," She hesitated, not knowing what to say. "I, eh, I—"

"I don't want to hear it." Rath interrupted. "And stop calling me Ronald."

"But that's your name." She protested. Rath was silent, not wanting to get into even bigger trouble than he already was. Cesia sighed, giving in. "Alright then, what do you want to be called?"

Rath hesitated, before saying, "Rath."

"Wrath? With a double u?"

"No, Rath... with an R." He said at last.

She sighed again (she was doing that a lot), "Fine Rath. Now will you listen to what I have to say?" She was nearly begging him.

"Whatever." He answered.

She took that as a yes, because she started talking about how everything happened. "Okay, listen closely. It started about a year ago, when you and I were still dating."

Rath made a small noise at the word "dating". Cesia continued, "It was late, and very dark. We had bought a pizza and were sharing it. Then, it happened." She breathed heavily. Rath was still turned away. "What happened?" He finally asked.

"Well, first we were walking with the pizza down an abandoned street towards home, and then..." She trailed off. Rath listened intently. "We saw a store being robbed. At first we thought it was just someone making a lot of noise, but in fact, someone, very clumsily I might add, was trying to steal from a jeweler. Unfortunately, before we could get away, the thieves noticed us, and began chasing us. You told me to hide, while you make them follow you. I did so, and your plan worked."

"However, they cornered you in an ally, I believe, and knocked you on the head so bad you not only passed out, you were bleeding terribly. It was so fortunate that the police got there when they did, or you would have died."

"You didn't die— which you can probably see— but you had severe brain damage that only affected your memory. And that was the reason you went crazy. After the accident, you had no recollection of anything, as I have mentioned, so you created your own world, your own memories, using everyone around you in it. Am I making sense?" She asked hopefully.

After waiting for a few moments he responded, "Perfect."

Cesia smiled triumphantly, glad she had gotten through.

"But that doesn't mean I believe a word of it."

Cesia's victorious moment ceased immediately following his last remark. "Oh, I don't know why I even bother!" She yelled in frustration.

"What's going on in here?" Another familiar voice called. Another reviled familiar voice that is.

Rath was on full awareness as another doctor entered the room. His eyes widened and he breathed heavily. "No, not you!" He yelled. Bierrez had just entered his room with a panicked look plastered on his face.

"What's wrong?" He asked. Rath glared.

"Oh, it's nothing Brandon, it's nothing." Cesia said, calming the look on his face. "I'm going to go, I need a little break." She walked out the door, pausing to look back at the two, then left.

Bierrez sighed, before saying, "Look what you did. You're hurting her by just being here! Can't you just get over it?! You've been here a year!" He said this all turned away, but faced Rath after he finished. He started to approach him, but Rath said, "Back off!" Bierrez did as he was warned.

"Fine. But if I ever see her exit this room looking like she did right now, you'll regret ever being put in this ward." When he finished, he turned away, looking as pissed as ever.

Rath, infuriated by his last visitor, turned away from the doorway, not noticing someone else sneak through the half opened door.

Me: Well, good, bad, what do ya think?

Bierrez: Why you little...

Me: Yes?

Bierrez: WHY ON DUSIS DID YOU MAKE ME OUT TO BE SOME SLEEZBAG WITH A CRUSH ON CESIA?!!!

Me: Oh, yeah, that.

Bierrez: YEAH THAT!

Me: Well, it pained me to do so, so don't be so mad at me!

Bierrez: OH, I'M WAY PASSED MAD...

Me: Uh-oh.

DC: Well, you know the saying, you always hurt the one you love!

Me: Yes, that's it exactly!

Bierrez: Shut up bird brain, you're only supposed to show up before the fic.

DC: Hey!!!

Rath: Review and I'll kiss you!

Me: Great! Bribery always works!!!
