Authors note: Thank you Songwind!!! To answer your question, angels have stronger physical and magical power than the winglies, or any other race. I don't have a spellcheck right now, so I'll read it through. No action in this chapter :( . Read on....

Crystal slowly opened her eyes. She had no clue where she was. She was lying on a blanket, looking up into the sky, for the building had no roof. The walls were torn apart, and random bits of rubble were lying around. All of the furniture was broken or shattered, and thrown about all over the place.

Examining the bits of furniture for a while longer, she came to the conclusion that she was in her former house. Crystal sighed. She was hoping it was all a dream, that Donau was just like any other city, that Sarah and John were still alive, and that she was not a dragon knight. But it wasn't, they weren't, and she was. Sitting up, she noticed that Lily was watching her, in her normal clothes again.

Niether wanted to talk about the attack. Lily just stared at Crystal with pure amazement in her eyes. /How did she learn to fight like that? I've never seen her even touch a sword!/

"How long have I been out?" Crystal asked, breaking the silence.

"Twenty eight hours." Lily replied, after a short pause.

"That long, huh?"

"Yeah. Here, drink this." She threw a small bottle, and Crystal caught it. A healing potion.

"I took care of the frostbite with my dragoon magic. You'll still need that though, considering that I'm still a novice with magic." Lily tried to smile, but because of the current situation, she couldn't.

"Thanks." Crystal said, wiping some of the potion off her mouth. She drank it in about two gulps.

"Hey Lily, did any of the food avoid getting blown up?"

"Oh yeah. More than you'd expect. The most of the cupboard survived. And the pantry is underground, sooooo, no damage at all to that."

"Good. So, um... did you manage to stop them from getting away?" Crystal asked with hope.

"No.", she replied with a sigh, "I did manage to get this though."

Lily held out a green gem, obviously, the Dragoon Spirit of the Jade Dragon. Crystal stared at it with a confused look on her face.

"I don't get it. She's the Water Dragoon. That stranger, Josh, was the Fire Dragoon. Why would they need the Jade Spirit?"

"That is what I intend to find out." Lily's response almost sounded like a demand.

"What do you mean?" Crystal knew exactly what she meant, she just wanted to ask. [A.U.- Just one of those things, ya know?]

"You know damn good and well what I mean!", she almost screamed, eyes going crimson for a split second before turning blue again, "Pack up some food and clothes.We're going to Fletz. People are bound to notice if they see a flying girl with an unconcious guy over her shoulder. We should go and ask around, so we can find out which way she went."

So then Crystal headed to the remnants of her and Lily's rooms to grab thier backpacks.

#########WHEREVER#JOHN#AND#TANYA##ARE

"Why did you not capture the angel from Donau?!"

"I'm sorry m'lady! I did not notice an angel anywhere in that town."

"How could you not notice an angel? They have wings, you fool!"

"Nobody there had wings!"

"There must have, Josh. I can still sence the presence of an angel there! What about the girl who stole your dragoon spirit! What about her?"

"She is a wingly. I only saw wings on her when she transformed into a dragoon."

"Useless fool. Send in Tanya."

Josh left the room, and a moment later, Tanya walked through the doorway.

"You asked for me m'lady?"

"Yes. The girls that gave you trouble, were any of them angels?"

"The one who stole the Red-Eyed Spirit was a wingy. The other one, it's hard to say. She appeared to be human, at least. But I could still detect a remarkable power within her. Much stronger than her wingly friend."

"That is all I need to know. You may leave."

After she gave her mistress a bow, Tanya left to go see Josh.

#####JOSH'S#####ROOM

"Hey Josh, why didn't you tell her about the power in that girl?" Tanya asked him with anger in her harsh voice.

"What girl?" asked Josh.

"What girl? The girl who did that to your wrist, dumbass!" she yelled pointing at the nasty red scar left on both sides of his wrist.

"I didn't sence a power in her, that's why."

"Bullshit!"

"You don't have to beleive it, it's still true."

"Whatever."

#########IN#FLETZ######

As Lily walked through the front gates of thier capital, she felt a warm feeling from her pocket. She pulled out the Jade Dragoon Spirit, which was glowing. Not the way the White Siver spirit did when she grabbed it, but as if it knew its owner was there.

"Crystal, the Jade spirit, it's glowing."

Crystal looked around. Nobody seemed to be much of a warrior. The strongest person there was probably that big fat guy a few yards away advertising livestock. At least not until...

"Hey! Get off me you big jerk!! That money is mine! What makes you think I'd steal it?"

"You're a filthy little street kid! You don't have any reason not to steal." The large man who said this was holding a young boy by the back of his collar.

"I'm telling you, I didn't steal it!" the boy said with a frustrated look on his face. He grabbed the daggar from its sheath strapped to his belt, and slashed at the mans face.

Okay, so I put a tweensy bit of action in at the end. I couldn't resist. Is this the person the dragoon spirit wants? If you want to find out, give me reviews!
