Notes: Okay. This chapter may be short but it's because I want to get it done so I can work on United o.o Uhm...HoW is on a short hiatus. I'm REALLY pissed off at it...Wait a moment. OMR! *Going to cry* I LOVE you, Raven. O.o OMR. I've been keeping a folder on my computer that has everything saved in it that I have on my disk(all my fanfics) so I can have them in case I lose something before I get to update it or if something happens to FF.net. o.o See, the HoW 13 that I posted only had the notes and the word 'Chapter' on it. I got on today and was wondering why no one was reviewing it so I checked it and that's what I found. So, I checked my disk and it was like that on the disk, too...Apparently, my disk either killed or I accidentally saved the whole thing into the folder. ^.^ OMR. I am SO happy! *is going to throw a party* ^.^ I'm delighted. Absolutely delighted. I was SO mad. O.o Yeah. *Tries to calm down* Not on hiatus. Forget I said that. o.o Moving on! Oh. Right. This whole chapter is about Dranzer :)

In the darkness of the ninth Spirit Realm, Dranzer stirred. Even in his half-conscious state, he could tell there was something wrong with his resting place. For a moment, he thought Deav had tricked him again. The wall-spirit had mad a habit of moving Dranzer in his sleep and the phoenix would not have been surprised if he had been moved again.

But, as his senses returned to him, he felt the presence of spirits in the darkness around him. He'd been captured. For the first time in millions of years, the Sun had been taken again and the spirits had once again broken their promise.

Opening his eyes, Dranzer lifted his head and tried to stand. He couldn't. He was bound to the darkness by a spirit's chains. And a spirit's chain was one thing the Sun had never been able to escape. "What has driven you to break your oath, enteni?"

"The enteni do not feel that it was a fair deal." Was the response of one.

"Why must you confront us in the way you have and not in a way that is safer for both sides, enteni?" Dranzer asked, staring ahead into the darkness where he knew some of the spirits were watching him.

"The enteni do not take interest in rational thinking." Said another.

"That is clear." Dranzer responded.

"Do not make matters worse for yourself, Sun."

"I do not see how I can make this any worse than it has already become." Dranzer said slowly.

"Drigger will be captured soon enough. If you do not watch what you say, we will dispose of him."

"I do not believe you would do so."

"Enlighten us."

"You have not hurt me and you are after Drigger for a reason. If you did not have a reason to capture us, you would have no reason to let us live."

"It would seem that you have thought of this before, Sun."

"It would seem so." Was Dranzer's only reply.

"You are of great importance to us. As is your companion, the Moon. Without the two of you, we cannot turn the heirs against each other." A spirit hissed.

"Nor can you with us." Dranzer said.

"You underestimate the enteni, Sun."

"I know the extent of your power. And I repeat: You cannot come between them with or without our assistance." Dranzer said.

"Explain yourself, Sun!"

"Had you attempted to split them sooner, you may have succeeded. But it is too late now. The preparations for the ritual to unite them has already begun."

Really short o.o Hope you liked it anyway. ^.^ I think I do it without realizing it after a few sentences, but I tend to not you words like 'don't' and 'didn't' when people like Dranzer and Drigger, and the spirits are talking. Don't and didn't and others make them sound less...I don't know. o.o Not all powerful and smart and stuff ^.^ Dunno. Anyway. Thanks for reading an please review! Later!

Enteni- eternal, Dranzer's name for the spirits. (also the Enteni. The Eternal) Said en-ten-eye. No like more than one antenna. O.o more like 'Enten-eye'

Forgot to mention that 'Deav' is blood. O.o
