Chapter 3:

Shana woke to find herself in a soft bed. She could smell flower's all around her. Where had she smelled that scent before, Donau? No! She couldn't have in Donau, she was in Deningrad............ no she wasn't! Her eyes popped open as she recalled who she had met in Deningrad. Lavitz, Rose, Zeig, Albert. What were they doing there?

"Shana! Why, you're awake! I'll go get the ones that brought you here!" A woman said starting toward the door.

"Kate?"

Kate turned, "Yes?"

She shook her head and got out of the bed, "Never mind."

Kate smiled and went out of the door. She returned several minutes later with the group. She bowed slightly and then left.

"How are you feeling Shana?" Albert asked sincerely.

"I'm doing better......" She faded off when she saw the 'dead' people behind him. So I wasn't dreaming.

When Shana caught sight of Rose she smiled the happiest smile ever, " Rose!"

Shana surprised everyone in the room as she pounced on Rose, catching her slightly unbalanced but caught herself before they fell. Rose smiled inwardly, but kept her slight delight hidden by patting her awkwardly on the head.

Zeig's jaw was to the core of Endiness, "You barely let me put my arm around you! Are you a-"

WHACK!

Rose's fist connected with Zeig's skull, he was knocked out. She wasn't that way! She had begun favoring Shana like...... an innocent little sister she never had. She had just come to favor Shana over all of the other Dragoon knights because she was the only one who prayed for her while she was dead. Her mind flashed back to one incident while she was dead.

"............ and please help Rose find her peace." Shana said as the ghost of Rose watched from Mayfil.

It was then Shana rose, and began to talk to herself, "I can't imagine what Rose went through to protect this world. How much people hated her for it." She paused ad looked up at her ceiling, giving Rose the full view of her face, "Rose, you will always be MY hero."

Rose finally came to. Lavitz was laughing his head off, Albert was far ahead of him. He was already on the floor struggling for breath. Shana didn't look far off from going crazy herself. Then her eyes shifted and found Kate, Kate had a look of bewilderment on her face. What the heck was going on?

She finally noticed that her arm was moving on its own. Her gaze shifted to her hand, then to Zeig, then to her hand. She was whacking Zeig over and over again with a frying pan?

She set Zeig down, "Where the heck did I get a frying pan?"

Rose's answer was soon answered when Kate gently took the frying pan from her and pointed to the stove, and then to the ceiling. There were eggs on the ceiling, and the stove was on.

"Uh......... well............... Let's get going." Rose said with a turn of her heel and a tossed Zeig on her shoulder.

Albert, Shana, and Lavitz looked to one another, then shrugged and went after her.

"Rose, where exactly are we going?" Albert questioned as soon as he was done making preparations to board the Queen Fury. "I need to tell Poler where we are going."

Rose glanced over at Albert, "We are going to Furni."

Albert nodded and went to speak with Poler.

"OH Lavvvvvviiiiiiiiiittttttttttttzzzzzzz!!!!!!" A red-headed girl ran up to the group. Surprising everyone as she automatically attached herself to Lavitz.

Lavitz looked slightly embarrassed, he didn't like being stared at! "Um, Leora?"

Leora looked up at him, "Yes Lavitz?"

"Not to be rude, but, could you get off of my lap?" Lavitz said, he was really nervous under Rose's gaze.

Leora looked a bit disappointed by this but let go all the same. She beamed at him. "are you going to Furni too?"

Lavitz gaped at her, "Why are you going to Furni?"

"Oh! You know dad! He wants to work too much, so he set me off to Furni! He wants me to learn how to fool people into a good trade!"

Lavitz shook his head, he was so going to have a long talk with her father.

"Would you like to introduce us to your friend, Lavitz?" Rose said in an icy cold tone of voice.

Lavitz gulped visibly, "This is Leora, she is my friend."

"I'm going to Furni too! I didn't know that Lavitz would be here! This is such a total surprise!"

Shana smiled, "My name is Shana, Leora. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Leora's original plan was to be as mean to Shana as possible and kill her while she was asleep, but she saw the same thing in her eyes that Lavitz had and decided that she was going to give up on that. She noted that Rose seemed to calm down a bit.

"It's all set! Let's get aboard then." Albert came to them, "Hello there. Who are you?"

Leora looked into the King's eyes. Oh no! I'm in love with Lavitz and this man! What is your name oh noble one? "My name is Leora."

Albert smiled, "I am Albert."

Leora smiled back. I think I'll stick with Lavitz, and if he dies I'll choose Albert. My love for Lavitz is eternal.

Rose spoke up, "Lavitz, get Zeig."

"Why me?"

Rose shot a glare at him, "You want to contradict me?"

"No ma'am!" Lavitz squeaked. He went to get Zeig. "Zeig," he whispered.

"NOT SO LOUD YOU IDIOT! I'M RIGHT HERE! YOU DON'T NEED TO FREAKING KILL ME WITH YOUR LOUD VOICE! GEZ!" Zeig emerged from the house and glared at Rose, "You are so EVIL!"

Rose shrugged and went aboard the ship, the whole crew following in suit.

.............................. Aboard the Queen Fury..............................

Albert chuckled slightly as he watched Lavitz's dilemma interestedly. It seemed that Lavitz really had his hands full with this girl Leora. Very full. She seemed to be dragging him all over the place, like he was a toy. Right now, Lavitz looked like he would like a break for a while. However, the King wasn't that generous.

He really wanted to rest in the resting quarters, but Zeig was in there. He did not want to risk waking Zeig up! He was in a surly mood, and only slept when Shana insisted on it. Shana suddenly appeared next to him, though she had been standing there along time.

"Poor Lavitz."

Albert chuckled, "Yeah, poor Lavitz."

Shana turned her head slightly toward Albert, " Albert?"

"Hmm..." This was getting fun watching Lavitz. Leora had almost made him fall into the water.

"What will happen when Dart finds out that I'm on an adventure instead of him?"

Albert nearly laughed at that question, Dart did love adventures, and Shana was on one instead of him. "I think he would be pleased to know that you are growing up."

Shana shrugged and then looked at the sky. "It's getting dark...... we should go to bed."

Albert nodded his head in agreement. He left toward the other sleeping place. The one that didn't hold an angry Zeig.

Shana smiled and went to get Lavitz and Leora.

About 30 minutes late she was gazing at all that she had sent to bed. The only one missing was............ Rose!

Shana sighed and headed toward the captains deck. Rose was most likely in the crows nest. Why she liked up there she didn't know, but one day she was going to catch a chill. She climbed the ladder and spotted Rose.

"Rose, it's time for us to go to bed." Shana stated.

Rose glanced at her, "Is it now?"

"Yes. Comon, you're going to catch your death out here."

Rose smiled, "Fine."

.................................... Furni.................................

"Hello Fa! Hello Teo. How have you been?" Shana smiled down at the girl currently attached to her waist.

"We are doing great!"

"It's perfectly alright if you rest! You have had a very long journey! And it is night!"

(A/N: It took two and a half days to get there. K? It's night now!)

Lavitz didn't need to be told twice, he was asleep where he stood. Albert and Zeig were asleep at the table. Rose lifted the two men up and put them in the guest beds. She turned to see Shana with that look in her eye.

Rose groaned, "I had TWO nights of sleep, do I really need a third."

Shana nodded solemnly.

"And if I don't?"

"I will take away your sword!" Shana said deadpanned.

Rose almost gasped out loud. This was new, Shana was threatening to take her sword! She had better go to bed. Soon everyone in the household was asleep.

Zeig woke in the middle of the night. It was as if something were calling to him, and was so darn set on getting him to wake up. He grumbled slightly and got up.

He followed his gut. Something really wanted him to be upstairs. Whatever they were doing it was annoying him so much.

But still......... something didn't feel right. He unsheathed his sword. Then, he headed up the stairs.

He looked around, and saw her, "Leora, what are you doing up here?"

Leora eyes were empty of emotions, as was her face.

"Leora?"

Leora raised her head and let out an inhuman shriek and leapt toward him. The shriek paralyzed Zeig, as much as he was fighting it he couldn't move! Leora placed her feet on his shoulders and transformed into a small dragon, carrying him off toward The Valley of Corrupted Gravity.

................................. In the layer of the mysterious evil lady as we have come to call her.........

Zeig woke up and heard voices, arguing voices.

"How could you abuse me like that! Controlling me?!"

"It is the only way I could get him."

"Why do you want him so badly!" the voice he recognized as Leora's said.

"It is all part of the plan. If you want to be with Lavitz you'd better get that through your head!"

Leora was silent

"Now, I will transport you back, you appear slightly beaten up. Make up a story of how Zeig disappeared." Leora vanished.

Zeig had gotten up silently and charged at the figure that seemed to be controlling Leora. He yelled as he was about to bring the blade down upon her. (AN: Isn't it always good to yell when you are about to kill someone, just so they will notice you?)

The figure merely held up her hand and deflected the attack. Zeig was once again knocked to the ground, but he got back up and charged at her again. ( AN: He's got to be about the brightest kid in the world!)

She deflected again, and stepped into the light.

Zeig gasped, "What in the he-"

The woman backhanded him, knocking him out cold. "You were the reason I lived. That is why I hate you."

She kept up beating him throughout the night.
