Chapter 2:

The group of four set off to Deningrad, of course, where else would they go?

The teenage Lavitz glanced curiously at Albert, noting how similar he looked to his friend Albert which made him think of another subject...... where was Albert? He shook his head, it was too confusing. Maybe he was a brother of Carlos.

"Now this is weird, now isn't it?" Zeig said, scratching his head in a ridiculous looking way that only he could pull off, "Shouldn't a monster or something be attacking us right now."

Rose immediately had a look of suspicion on her face, but it turned to confusion quickly when Albert spoke. "Oh, you wanted to fight monster's?"

Rose gaped him, "What do you mean 'oh'?"

Albert fidgeted for a second, "Well, I kinda got lost on the way back to Bale... and I developed a new technique. I got tired of fighting monsters, and it was wearing me out. So now my Dragoon Spirit keeps the monsters away. See, I'll show you." Albert tapped his spirit once and a monster appeared. He completed a Blossom Storm with his spear. He smiled and Lavitz gaped.

"How did you know that! I only taught Albert to do that!" Lavitz shouted in a semi-angry mood.

"He just knows it, now hurry up, we are almost there." Rose said taking the lead, Lavitz glared at her back. Her cold voice was annoying him.

Zeig, whom Lavitz liked more than Rose, patted him on the shoulder, " Don't worry, you'll get used to her being cynical!" He took up the trail.

Albert looked as if he wanted to say something to Lavitz, but sighed, shook his head, and continued on his way. Lavitz caught up to the group.

........................... Deningrad..................................

Lavitz gaped at the city around him, it was so huge. He looked toward the palace he heard about in tales the knights told him, Crystal Palace. It was beautiful. The streets were alive and everyone was busy, yet held their dignity at the same time.

"Why do I have to stay here?!" Lavitz's head snapped up at the sound of Zeig's voice. "I should go down too!"

"Someone must stay here with Lavitz. He seems to favor you more than me." That cool voice again... Zeig was right, he was getting used to it.

"Let the freaking king stay then!"

"He is the only one that can open the doors to the Library of Carlos. I need him."

"But......"

"Just stay with him. COME ON ALBERT!" Rose said, as she grabbed Albert's cape and quite literally dragged him toward the direction she wanted to go.

"Damn!" Zeig surprised Lavitz, "I wasn't expecting this to happen. I wanted to find out if MY suspicions were true." Zeig began to curse under his breath.

Lavitz shook his head, people were weird.

"Dart! What are you doing here! I thought that you were going to see the Queen for something!" A brunette ran up to them, slightly flushed. Her flush grew when she saw Zeig, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."

"Why does everyone keep mistaking me for that son of mine?" Zeig said under his breath.

The brunette gaze drifted to Lavitz, and then froze. Her confused gaze was making him nervous, that is until she smiled, "Hello, and what's your name?"

Lavitz smiled slightly, her smile was contagious. "My name is Lavitz."

The woman smile wavered for a moment, as if remembering something, and then shook her head to relieve herself of it. Her lovely smile returned, "My name is Shana."

Lavitz liked this girl......er...... WOMAN to be exact, she looked around 19. (AN: It has been a year! Remember?) Shana made him feel nice and relaxed, like his mother with twice as much sweetness, if possible. Also, her eyes held a look of pure innocence, he liked that. The two started up a conversation and Zeig let out a long sigh. He sure hoped that Rose and Albert would get back up soon.

........................ The Library, 1st floor.......................

Perhaps you were wondering why Rose grabbed him by the cape. Well the answer was simple, to those followed them in curiosity. As soon as she opened the doors Albert lost his character. The only thing that was in the way of him and his books were the hands pulling his cape. She dragged him to a dark room and closed the door.

"You are an idiot, you know that?" Rose growled in his ear.

Albert frowned at her. He walked out of the room and came a few minutes later with a book in his hand.

"I am serious. Open the door now."

Albert frowned again, "I thought you were even more sensible than me."

"Why do I have to be sensible? I want into the lower library and you are holding a book!"

Albert shook his head and opened the book. It was a few minutes before he found a page that he seemed interested in. He spent ten minutes reading, occasionally sending a nervous glance at Rose, who looked like a tiger ready to pounce. Then, much to Rose's surprise, he tore the page out of the book!

"What in the name of Soa are you doing?"

Albert didn't seem to hear her. Instead, he grasped he spear firmly and slashed at his arms furiously.

Rose gaped in surprise, and then did leap on him! "Albert! Stop doing that! If you don't stop I'll whip that sorry-UGH!"

Albert had tossed Rose like a rag doll to the other side of the room. Then sliced his hands, followed by his legs. Then he strode over to each side of the room and placed a separate body part on each of the walls, excluding the hands. Then he looked at the piece of paper determinedly and place both of his hands on the paper. The room glowed a blinding white color.

When Rose finally opened her eyes, she saw Albert, his hand outstretched, and all of his wounds were sealed. She ignored his hand and got up by herself, giving him her deadliest glare.

He smiled, "You wanted Albert to open the library, and he did! You haven't changed at all Mistress Rose."

Rose's cold mask became slightly colder, "Carlos. Are you some kind of maniac. What were you thinking, having that the way to open the door."

The Albert/Carlos shrugged, "I didn't want anyone besides someone of my blood needed to get in, I needed proof that he was worthy to enter!"

Rose turned a sheet paler, "SO YOU WANT HIM TO DIE?!"

He frowned, "He is healed you know." He waved his hand and the paper turned into a portal. "There you go. Good-bye."

Albert crashed to the floor, unconscious. Rose stared at him for a moment as if considering something. But then she just strode right passed him and entered the portal.

.............................. The Library of Carlos..............................

Rose walked down the clearly unstable corridor. It gave her the impression that she was going to fall. But she ignored it. She had to get to the library. The floor suddenly gave way under her, and she fell, to her dismay, in a pile of human bones. All of them littered and positioned in a way so that they stared at her, seeming to say, get out or your gonna end up like us.

Rose quickly dispersed of that emotion and kept moving. It seemed that she was supposed to fall, for the strange path continued. Finally she reached the end, she practically jumped into the library. (AN: Rose is excited about books! Go figure!)

She let out a groan as she saw all of the ancient texts stored there, this was going to take longer than she expected!

"Figures!" Rose said to herself as she started picking out some items, "What did I expect, the one thing I wanted to read just here waiting for me."

"Well that wouldn't be right, Rose, expecting something of that sort."

Rose's firm grip of herself caused her not to jump or give any sign of alarm, but she came pretty darn close when she saw that it was a skeleton that had spoken.

"What?"

Rose stared at him, "What are you doing alive?"

"What are you talking about? We were together...... oh...... I see." The skeleton took of his skull and there stood Albert. He smiled sheepishly as he pulled the other bones off of him. Wait, Albert? Sheepishly? Both she and the king must be affected by this strange library.

"What are you looking for?" Albert said walking into the room and looking around.

"I am looking for a prophesy. A prophesy that was created for when the second Dragon Campaign ended."

Albert turned to the bookshelf and started mumbling something incoherently. A single scroll fell from the shelf. "That should be it."

Rose glared at Albert, he was too smart. Nevertheless she bent down to retrieve it. She growled in annoyance as Albert read over shoulder, she had wanted to read in peace. Oh well. They both began to read:

When the fighting has ended and despair no longer overshadows the Legendary Dragoon warriors, this is to come to pass.

The Black Monster will be free of its eternal curse when the moon fades, and the danger of the Moonchild is gone. However, the beautiful destruction will rise again, to confusion, not knowing why it is alive, but will soon find a reason.

The beauty of this destruction will be accompanied at first with two man of the dead, both shall regain their time of wanted accomplishments. One will know most, one will forget.

The journey will be hard, so unmerciful these destined warriors.

They will discover themselves on the way, and journey with hope in their hearts. The destined one of the moon will be of use, the moon destined will always have a feeling of foreboding when something is to become. She will also be of good cheer, his you will need to succeed, and she will be able to help in more ways than one. In the end...... I cannot tell what is to become of her.

One will be lost in the swirls of lies in deceit that lies in the heart of destruction. Oh! The beauty of destruction he will taste! Oh! How little hope there is mercy will be upon him! I pray for this warrior for he is in the gravest of danger! The destiny of this man will be the hardest for him.

When the time is right the secrets shall be revealed. The secrets of betrayal, of hatred, and of undying will.

Let the darkness work with holy light. Let lost love be broken. Let the destiny of the pit of hatred consume the beauty not, but of the monster within her.

This prophecy is of little use now. The fate will be changing. It all lies in your tainted hands, oh one cursed with the beauty of destruction not wanted.

I wish you the best of luck......... the beauty of destruction who is Rose!

Rose glanced at Albert, who was already staring at her, his jaw in the region of his knees.

"Well, let's go back up." Rose said, with her face growing colder and more death threatening by the second, "I hope Zeig hasn't completely lost his mind by now."

.............................. Deningrad ....................................

Lavitz and Shana were interrupted when a man who bore an uncanny resemblance to Zeig strode up to them, a frown set on his face. "I'm sorry Shana. I'm afraid I'm going to have to go back to Bale for a while.

Shana looked shocked, "Why?"

"Minister Noish contacted the Queen and told her Albert began another journey." Dart frown seemed to deepen at this. Lavitz got the impression that this man was slightly jealous. "You will go back to Seles and wait for me there!"

"Why can't I go with you?"

Dart's lips pressed into a thin line, "It seems that the people there do not want a killer destroyer there. It makes them nervous." His expression seemed to darken, Lavitz swore that he had murder in his eyes.

Shana nodded her head, "I understand. I will wait for you in Seles." She stood up and kissed Dart.

Then, he left the town, knowing his love would be safe in Seles.

Lavitz looked around, "Where did Zeig go?"

Shana paled "What do you mean by Zeig?"

"ZEIG! GET YOUR SORRY BUTT DOWN HERE OR I'LL COME UP THERE AFTER YOU!" said a voice that sounded cold and familiar.

The man landed beside Lavitz, "Sorry, but my son came."

"I DON'T CARE IF IT WAS THE FREAKING KING OF LOBSTERS! I.....................uh............... hi Shana?" Rose said with a cold mask of embarrassment on her face, it quickly turned 100 cold mask mode.

"Hello Shana. It's nice to see you again." Said Albert, with a twint of relief on his face.

Shana took it all in. Rose, Zeig, then it must really be......... her gaze went to Lavitz, and she fainted. Lavitz caught her before she hit the ground.

"I think that the prophesy person must want Shana to come with us." Rose said in her coldest tone ever, apparently not happy about this.

........................ Valley of Corrupted Gravity..............................

"That girl is trying to take Lavitz away from me!!!!" Leora shrieked as she gazed into the woman's magical glass, showing her Lavitz carrying Shana bridal style toward Donua. "I can't believe this! I want her dead!"

The woman hissed an inhuman sound and Leora remained silent, "Your lucky you are still here. Now go to Donau, and visit your precious Lavitz."

Leora scuttled out of the house and began her short journey toward the flower city.

The looking glass focused on Zeig. "Rose, I want Zeig. He deserves someone who will always be there to hate him. To fool, to hate. I want him to hate you more than I do! Oh yes!" A green light surrounded Leora for a minute. "When the time is right, and Lavitz is out of sight, bring him to me."
