- Dark Takeover: Chapter 26 -

Hiei stared in mild shock as the sight of his beloved drenched in her own blood began to sink into his mind. The crimson red, her lifeless body, her matted hair. He seemed to stare off into the distance trying to comprehend what had just happened. Zoran's mangled pathetic form lay a few feet away from the alter, while Aklyis' lay right on it. Realization finally hitting him, Hiei let out a cry of anguish. The others began to close in on the alter as well, Miya's knees giving out as she crumbled to the floor in a wreck of tears.

Suddenly, the six sacred jewels began glowing, a strange buzzing noise emitting from each on. Pillars of light flew out from each one, connecting near the ceiling. A final pillar of light made it's way down to Aklyis' body, seeming to soak up the blood that had been spilt. Six majestic womanly figures appeared around the alter, each seeming ghostly. They were the six priestesses. Slowly more realization hit the people standing around the alter. Legend said that once the six stones had been collected and placed on the alter, one person's wish shall be recognized and granted by the priestesses, who would then become servants to the one who had wished. The recognition of the wish was seen through the blood of the wisher. The blood needed to be spilled over the alter.

"Your wish has been heard, Aklyis of El Morad." One of the majestic figures spoke to the lifeless body beneath her.

"Come forth, Veyone." Said another

From a purple portal forming in the dark left corner of the room, Veyone emerged, the baby Raegn gently enveloped in her arms. The baby whimpered and cooed slightly at the unfamiliar scenery as the white mage stepped forward.

"Thy wish has been granted," Solaris, the sun priestess began. "Thy country is safe, and thy people are free. Thy child shall grow under our protection, and our power shall rest in her, and I, Solaris of the sun temple shall grant ye life, Aklyis of El Morad…

Her words softly faded, as did she in a blinding white light. The priestesses came together in one giant ball of electric energy and slowly descended upon Aklyis, Veyone, and the baby Raegn, all who were on the alter.

The others averted there eyes in order to prevent being blinded by the incredible light. Hiei was still on his knees, slumped forward staring at the ground. Once again, the words hadn't sunk in just yet, and he wasn't quite understanding what was about to happen. Slowly the light cleared, and the dust clouds lifted. On the alter now stood Aklyis, perfectly healthy and in tact. No blood stains, or stab wounds, a small gentle smiled graced her lips as she held a small cooing baby in her arms. Beside her stood the priestess Veyone, calm and tranquil as ever. Hiei slowly looked up. He wasn't quite sure he comprehended what he saw.

"You…" he said slowly.

Aklyis visibly sweat dropped. "W-well…you know I didn't mean to die…HEY DON'T GIVE ME THAT LOOK AT LEAST I GOT THE BASTARD- "

Hiei ignored her rambling as he stood up and moved closer to her.

"Just shut up and kiss me."

- THE END - or is it…
