Damcyan Castle Ruins

"There is ruble everywhere. It's so dirty. It's been three months and it still smells of blood and explosive. Damnit, Edward! Damcyan will not ever be like it was in the past! How can he keep that smile? Naive little prince. I will never call him king! I doubt anyone here ever will. The only good thing about him is the allies he gave us with Baron. Aw crap he's me not doing anything," Maxim thought quietly to himself.

"Maxim, you have got to stop loafing around if you want Damcyan to built back up. It's going to be bigger and better than before!" Edward was saying exitedly.

"Hmph!" Maxim muttered. A second voice entered his head. This voice he never heard before. The voice led Maxim's eyes to the pick-ax in his hand and then back up to Edward…

Baron Throne Room

"Sir! We have not found any trace of him yet, sir!" A soldier reporting back to Cecil.

Sigh, "You are dismissed soldier!" Cecil said with a worrisome tone in his voice. It was hidden from the soldier, but Rosa heard it.

"Cecil what's wrong? Kain's disappearance is upsetting you more than it should," Rosa said trying to cheer up her husband.

"Uhh…it's nothing. I just—" The throne doors where slammed open! Rydia was standing there panting. The soldier was knocked on the ground.

"What's wrong Rydia?" Cecil asked excitedly.

"It's…Edward. He's…been killed!" She said in short breathes.

What?" Cecil and Rosa yelled in unison.

"I went to help him build. I figured Titan could move the big stuff. But, when I got there, he was on the ground dead! A pick-ax went though his chest! Phoenix Down won't fix that!" She caught her breath and practically screamed the last part.

"We will take an airship to Damcyan," Cecil said more as an order then a suggestion.

"I'll take Bahumut and meet you there," Rydia said rushing out the doors.

Cecil's Airship

"Rosa, don't look so sad for him. He's back with Anna. He back with his love and his parents. Tellah is with him too. He's reunited with his loved ones," Cecil said to his wife.

"Thanks for trying to cheer me up," Rosa said still with the depressed look on her face.

"That was more for me then her, though," Cecil thought to himself.

Damcyan Ruins

This place is a mess. Edward would really need Titan's help if he where still alive.

"Hello, Rydia!" A familiar voice from the shadows said behind her.

"You!" Rydia exclaimed.

"Yes, it is me! Did you know Edward did not recognize me? That was rude! He deserved the pick-ax to the heart!" The voice said.

"Yo…you did this! You killed him!" Rydia muttered out.

"No, no I did not. I just merely pulled the strings and the puppet did it. For once I am the puppet master and they are the puppets!" He said and then vanished in the shadows.

Cecil and Rosa came in at that moment. They saw Rydia on her knees, weeping. Rosa rushed over and wrapped her arm around her like a mother would.

"Did you see him? Did you not see it!" Rydia exclaimed.

"What? What was we suppose to see?" Cecil asked in a calm voice.

"It was him! It was Kain!" Rydia exclaimed and then broke down again.
