Fayt gave up on chasing Albel. "What did I say to upset him like that, I mean I never seen that look in his eyes before.." Fayt muttered to himself. Fayt's eyes stammered to the floor, a hint of sadness could be found within them. "who is that grave...perphs I shall go visit it myself after the Veedeeni are destoryed." Fayt thought to himself. The blue haired boy rushed off outside to see the gaint dragon and Nel, plus the others ready to go. His blue eyes set on the form of Albel who seemed distracted. "Best of luck to you..." The King Azrei commented as they boarded the dragon. " Thank you we shall try our best!" Fayt cheered as Cliff patted him on the back. With that the gaitn dragon flew into the sky at fast speed. The weapon latched to his back. Everyone was tense ready for battle, as a series of mini battles was ocurring below. Fayt turn his sight to Albel who seemed to be lost in thought. Fayt stared at him longingly. Albel looked up and glares at Fayt. Fayt turned quickly and watched as the Veedeeni ships approuched. " Nel be ready to aim!" Shouted Maria who was taking control. Nel nodded at aimed at the ships, a ray of pink and gold left the weapon, blasting a gaint hole into the Veendeeni ship. " Whoot!" Cliff cheered excitedly. " One down and one to go!" He added. S
Soon the other Veendeeni ship approuched the dragon. Nel took aim at the ship firing at it. The attack missed, and Albel growled. " Do you know where your aiming!" he growled. " Shut up Nox this is hard!" Nel snapped back at him." Its goona take some time for it heat back up! and the Veendeeni is attacking!"Maria shouted. " Come on we must keep distance!" yelled fayt the dragon nodded. Albel stared at the Veendeeni ship. "Look out!" the dragon roared turning sharply on the side. The grans turn forced albel off the sight with a fling. His eyes widen as he felt him self in mid air and falling. " ALBEL!" screamed Fayt who attemped to grab his arm. He gripped his hand tightly. " Hold on!" Fayt cried feeling his hand slipping. Albel stared at Fayt. " Hold on Albel I won't let you go!" The bule haired boy cried as he tried all his might to pull Albel up. Seconds later Faty felt himself go over the side of the dragon. Cliff dived to catch his feet but her was too late, the captain of the black birdage and the bule haired Fayt began to fall. " No! Fayt!" creid Cliff. " Albel!" Nel cried as they all watched helplessly. Nel narrowed her eyes and fried fericly at the Veendeeni ship, destorying it.
Albel Closed his eyes as he felt himself fall, not a word left his mouth, however Fayt, was screaming loudly. He looked only to see blue. Albel opened his eyes as he felt himself go under the water. His eyes widen as he felt himself beginnig to sink due to his metalic claw. Fayt swam to the surface. " Albel? ALBEL!" He creid as he dove back under the water. he looked around and found him sinking fastly. Fayt swam as fast as he could, he placed his arms around his waist and begins to swim up. Fayt dragged himself and Albel to the surface lying him on the sandy beach. Albel had fell unconiusus. He blacked out..to find himself in a state of wonderment and dream. The last words he heard was the ones of his own name " Albel!" Fayt cried trying to awaken the fallen Captain. Fayt checked his pluse to see if he was alive. " Yes! okay.." He placed his ear by his mouth to check to see if he was breathing, he wasn't. Fayt eyes widened. "What am I gonna do!" Fayt looked around. "Come on Albel! breathe!" Fayt screamed. Albel lied motionless on the tanish beach, soon begins to turn pale. Fayt eyes widen. " Albel don't kill me for this but..." Fayt took a deep breath and lowered his face to Albel's. His cheeks turned red as he slowly placed his lips against his, breathing air into his lungs. Fayt quickly pulled away as Albel coughed heavily, water spurring from his mouth. " Bleh! gah...What the hell happened?" Albel manged to spoke through coughs and wheezes. "Albel your okay!" Fayt said reielfed. Albel narrowed his eyes to the blue haired boy.
"Come..lets get back to the castle.." Albel spoke weakly as he stood. Fayt nodded as they began to walk back to the castle. Lucky for them that they fell inot the river under the moonlit bridge so they're walk wasn't too bad, but the utter silence began to make Fayt feel uncomfortable. " umm...Albel?" Fayt spoke meekly. " What is it?" Albel replied as he turn his eyes locking on fayts form. "Are you sure your alright..?" Fayt asked. Albel gave a simple nod and continued his way into the palace. Them dripping wet, began there way to the Audience Chamber to find everyone crying or at least mourning. " what the?" Albel blinked staring at the gloomy faced of his friends. "Your alive!" Marai sighed in reielf. Fayt smiled as maria ran over throwing her arms around him. Fayt blushed as he gently hugged maria who at the same time was blushing as well. she backed away quickly. " Umm...sorry.." she apologized. "atta boy your strong!" Cliff teased smacking him on the back. " Ouch!" Fayt winced in pain. "That hurt!" Everyone laughed except Albel who seem to disappear into the hallway. Wincing in pain himself, his armunder his forsaken claw began to burn enterally. "...Welcome home..." A voice echoing through Albel's ears. He looked around quicklly to find no one, then he realized who it was...he knew who it was telling him welcome home. He flead to his room in the castle as he slammed the door ehind him. He collasped on the bed as a sigh left his lips. "Julia..why are you haunting me..." he muttered confusely as he curled up. He soon found a restless sleep and with that came a restless dream.
"WelcomeHome love!" A woman with black hair spoke smiling towards Albel. He blinked at her and gave a soft smile. "Juila.." he softly spoke as he walked towards her. He gently wrapped his arms around her, hugging her close. She smiled gently, the smile that seems to haunt Albel for quite some time. Albel pulled away and walked over to the cupboard he pulled out a boquet of roses. "I here are nine roses." He began as he handed them to her. She smiled brightly " They are lovely!" she said. "Take this.." Albel spoked gently. He handed her a glass rose. She smiled at him. "You didn't have too.." she spoke but Albel placed a finger over her lips. " Here i ahnded you nine roses and one fake, I will love you until the last rose dies.." Albel whispered. " Til the last rose...your in my heart always.."
"always..."
Albel awoke with a jerk. He sta up in his bed. "Not this dream again..." Hepalced his good hand over her face and sighed as he stood. Suddenly there was a knock at the door, Nel walked in staring at him. " Albel..are you alright?" Asked the red haired beauty. "Yea why?" Albel growled lowly as he clenched his head. " Well your door was cracked open and I heard you groaning in your sleep." Nel repiled. Albel looked away. "Well If your okay then I will leave.." She said Albel didn't attempt to stop her. All he knew that he wasn't going to let himself get close to anyone again..not after what happened four years ago...
