CHAPTER SIX

Kiba

Kiba staggered down the hallway to the huge double doors. He changed into his human illusion and pushed the doors open.

"Cheza…" He ran to her (she is floating in a ball like thing) "Are you alright? At last, I finally found you." He places his hand on the glass and asks loudly. "Why won't you answer me?"

"The white wolf." Lady Jagada's voice broke the reunion between Kiba and Cheza. "You are the one, the wolf chosen by the flower, how beautiful you are." Kiba snarled viciously at her and made to leap for her but was caught down in a powerful spell that made him immobile on the floor. He continued snarling and was powerfully forced onto the ground. "Come, open your eyes. Open them for my paradise."

"Kiba." Was all the flower maiden said as the water started to bubble. The glass broke and Kiba's eyes widened. He snarled from his spot on the ground all teeth showing.

"My prayers have been answered, Cheza we must feast in celebration don't you think?" Jagada began to laugh.

Human

A blond haired woman walks down the street in search of something.

"Have you seen Blue anywhere?" She asked a nearby cat who meowed a "Noooo" at her. "Why would I ask a question when I can't understand the answer?" She grumbled and continued walking. You see before Shy came into the story, Blue had been traveling with this woman but they had separated.

Later that night, she was trying to find a way into the keep to help Cheza when she noticed someone far off in the distance.

"Darcia." She gasped to herself. She watched as he approached. "Wait!"

"Will you follow me into the very heart of darkness?" He asked not expecting an answer as he moved on. She followed quietly. She noticed that all around him, guards were falling dead to the ground.

Lady Jagada

"The preparations are now complete. Tell me am I not beautiful?" She asked her servant as she prepared in front of a mirror for her celebration.

"Of course you are my lady." He replied.

"For the final rite, we will stoke the moonlight crucible with the white wolf's blood." Her servant bowed and left the room.

Darcia

Darcia and the human walked up the corridor silently.

"Can you tell me what's about to happen?" The woman asked timidly. She got no answer.

Cheza

"Kiba…Kiba? Are you alive?" The flower maiden sent her thoughts out to him.

Kiba

"Cheza…Cheza? Sing for me." He pleaded. Cheza's song began.

Darcia

Darcia stopped as soon as he heard it and continued.
