Bonjour!

Woah, finally... chapter 14, wohoo... and a puzzle-maker for me since it took a lot of thinking to get the introduction right. So, if there is something about this chapter that really confuses you, I'll understand that. And tell me about it, and I can do like last time people got confused over things, write two parts of it. Because this became a whole chart for me about the creatures... and I can say I had to look through the whole monster list, literally. I mean, there are really many creatures that has been told through folklores and fairy tales. Sorry this chapter took a while, even though I was free for a week to make it. But getting real information takes a while. Whew... more pages on the notepad.

Another thing is that I finally got my hands upon Tamers, which took the week to watch through. But now I can finally get the Digimon stories to sound like the Digimon story. And I have to say, it was better then I thought it would... well, it didn't add the usual excitement to me, but the whole thing was pretty good.

And this chapter starts of in another way. One of my reviewers wanted to know how Yamato and Taichi met. Guessing there can be more out there wondering the same, the first part after introduction is mainly Taito.

We have two more character introductions and they can seem OOC, but believe me. Making two Digimon characters into elves are harder then you think. (sigh)

And FINALLY, for everyone who wonders who the real boss is, he'll make an appearance. Wohoo, I've been waiting for this.

Also, I am sorry this chapter took longer then I thought it would, I just stumbled across a mild writers block and the ideas took a while to come. Fighting writers blocks are hard, so if something in this chapter is weird or stupid... blame it on that I at least tried to fight it.

Ps: Shitza's favourites on Tamers

Fav Tamers Characters: Ryo and Shuiichon

Fav Digimon: Calumon, Terriermon and Impmon

Fav Episode: The one where Shuiichon and Lopmon met. Stood out a little from the series and brought your thoughts to other things, plus, it was was pretty cute.

What is bugging me about things: 1, how Guilmon took so long munching on the Guilmon bread Takato and the gang bread.

2, Why dubbed series have to sound like a comic show when I know that there are so much little humour in it, really. (Don't ask then why Terriermon stays as a favourite Digimon. It must be all of the Moumentais.)

Chapter 14

The Impossible

There are many creatures born in Nemorisa, that has been told. With every birth in Nemorisa, there is something unique and yet each birth brings an inner battle. Do you have any clue what I can mean with this? I'll tell you...

In Nemorisa there is something called Yin and Yang. I know what you think, there is a symbol like that known as the balance between the differences. Like summer and winter, sun and moon, light and darkness. But for Nemorisa, the Tai-Chi (Yin Yang) is a big problem...

Nemorisa is a world that relies a lot on balance between things, balance between elements and balance between life. Demons tend to try and destroy this balance and are many times close to doing so. Really Nemorisa should not have any great problems except for demon problems... but inner battles always appear as early as birth. Out of the perspective that the ten elements are made of opposites. And as well as you say opposites attracts, it always starts out as the same.

Fights...

These opposites stands between water and fire, wood and ice, wind and earth, light and darkness as well as thunder and steel.

The ten elements' descriptions are quite known, even though the creature born with a specific element rarely follows it. The only signs we can see would be that Elysian born creatures have a complete trust in their strength, since they don't have any inner battles. But for a creature born as, for example a dragon (which normally is a fire creature), has a great disturbance if he is born in Livia, the month of water.

Another calamity is also caused when the months changes, for if you are born the same second Harana passes to Livia, you don't survive. A human being would not notice these changes but creatures of fire surely does. It is like the fire within them dies.

Yin and Yang is a symbol of the calamity... the war between them to regain power. Sometimes these fights can be seen between creatures, but normally they simply try to ignore each other. A few times in history they clash together, the Mermaid war where the mermaids flooded the dragons disturbing the balance long enough to open holes into dark dimensions. The Vampire combat where a Light vampire and a Dark vampire destroyed each other with their power. The Troll War VI, where the trolls destroyed half the population of Aquilas. There will be no details how they did it, but the Aquilas rarely forgive trolls.

Of course not everything is fighting, but it is a rough world. This is an international problem or the planet.

Lastly, the ten elements and their emotional properties. Obs, do remember that not all of the facts below are accurate as individuals don't always have things in common as no creatures are the same, even if they are the same race.

Fire is always painted like a sun, symbolising energy and life. Creatures of fire has an unreadable amount of energy, and few times brains. As well as fire also symbolises courage and forwardness. The largest group of Fire creatures are dragons of the fiery type... and the negative, meaning dark version, of these kind of creatures are Hellhounds.

Water is painted like a drop of water. It symbolises calmness and the relief of stress as well as changes. Many times it also symbolises purity, but that can be discussed. Water tends to flow without stop, yet it is a lot more straight then fire. Water creatures are mainly found in the sea and in lakes. Mermaids are a good example. The negative or dark version is called Ahuizotl. Water as darkness can also symbolise endings as about no creature of Nemorisa knows how to swim.

Wood is marked as a leaf. It symbolises stability as well as continuation. It is also a symbol of life, life in the meaning that everything grows and develops. It is yet a symbol of beginnings as everything grows from being nothing to be everything. Wood creatures are gentle, elves tends to symbolise wood as elves shares a strong bond with trees and nature. The negative creature is known as the terrible Basilisk.

Ice symbolises the opposite of wood and it is symbolised by a snowflake, the weakness and breakable power. Ice is a strong element except for the facts that it breaks. It also has an immense weakness against elements such as fire, wood, earth and steel, which hinders it. Ice is however a cold element that few like. MistHimi are the main known creatures and the negative ones are called Harpies.

Wind is the sensible element that can feel things. As wind is very much wide, spread it is also a wise element. Wind is symbolised, unusual enough by a heart as it feels more then other elements. It is most known that Aquilas has deep secrets of the wind hidden. The negative beast known is called Cockatrice.

Earth is the insensitive and the most greedy of the elements symbolised by a ring. It shares special bonds with wood, as wood and Earth works a lot together. Earth creatures can be quite dull, and many times pretty stupid. Earth also have better sides as it has an remarkable strength and stability against many other forces, except for the ones that can blow it away. Wizards and Witches likes to call themselves the ultimate Earth creatures, and the really known negative force is called zombies.

Light is the brightest element symbolised by a falling star. Light is a judging element, but it has other sides that we more think about, hope, trust, belief and so on. Light isn't always as gentle as it looks, however it is a pure element that cleanses evil. Light likes to be symbolised by Unicorns and the darker version is mainly symbolised by... (you are going to hate me for this) Light vampires.

Darkness is symbolised by a spirit picture (round ball curled up in a tail, crest of kindness inspiration). It is most known as being evil, yet it symbolises understanding. Dark creatures are however mostly evil, yet there are a few known as ghosts and phantoms that stands out. However, a true dark and evil creature would be the Gorgon, or perhaps the Chimera or a Manticore... it is difficult to say.

Thunder is symbolised by a clap of thunder, it stands for unpredictability. Like thunder storms, you never know when it is going to hit you, before it does. The kindest Thunder Creatures are known as Raikis. Many believe that the fierce looking Howler would be the negative part, but it is really a kind creature. No, the dark one is the Girallon, a monkey you will have problems to get away from.

Steel is the predictable element symbolised by a tire. Steel creatures are normally hard to find, as they avoid other contacts. They are also straight forwards and simply concentrates on their goals. Steel creatures haven't come with a straight forward good example of their kind, because the most usual creature, the werewolf, has been sorted into the negative pack. Were creatures.

It was a grey day for the Valley, and Taichi, the leader of all the Dragons breathing fire, sat by his desk planning out strategies. There was a mini model over the Dragon's Death, the battlefield all fights started by. And yet he couldn't see how they would be able to do this, defeat the darkness. It seemed impossible.

"When, when!" he cried out in frustrating, awakening the person that lay napping in his bed. Yamato opened his eyes to see his boyfriend cry out in frustration. Unlike his little brother, Yamato had more patience yet it was slowly leaking away. The werewolf moved closer to his lover, attacking his neck with kisses. Taichi shivered slightly, calming down. Things were looking bad for all of them, for everything.

It was quite ironic really. The first time Taichi had been set to war, he had met Yamato. Yet back then, they were enemies. They had duelled with each other countless times You must wonder how they got together, well, it is not that complicated. During one of the duels Taichi got dragon-napped. The kidnapper was a female phoenix who since long had wanted this gorgeous creature to be her mate, unfortunately for her Yamato, who wanted to fight, found her and together they fought and won. It was somewhere during that that the two of them found out that they meant something for each other. And it didn't take that long before Taichi dared to confess his love. All though, that is another story,

Taichi moaned as Yamato roamed his hands over his back, massaging him. The werewolf knew his stuff, and it felt really good. Taichi didn't hesitate as the two of them moved back to the bed, just as the door had to knock.

"Let's ignore it!" the werewolf said feeling slightly more frisky then usual.

Taichi complied as their shirts were ripped of. Whoever it was behind that irritating door started to knock louder. Taichi didn't care until he heard an angry voice behind shouting...

"Taichi... Yamato... I know you are in there so open the freaking door, will yah!"

It was Daisuke, Taichi's irritating cousin. Taichi sighed sitting up, hearing a muffled growl from the bed. The dragon reluctantly opened, feeling his cousins gaze at his chest. Daisuke's cheeks went bright red before he handled his cousin a red envelope. Then he hurried away, wanting to get away before his cousin would blow him into smithereens. Taichi sighed, somehow the whole family had fallen for fury creatures.

The brunette closed the door behind him and burned the top of the envelope, opening it. There was a letter inside, a letter for him. It said...

Dear Lord

I am sorry I haven't reported for a while, just recently the Six Warriors passed through the village, unscathed so far. They have fought and killed Mortog, the spider. The human that was with them has somehow also been turned into a real full life dragon. They also met up with the Kitsune leader, Jenrya. I am sending over a message to the Shapeshifters to find Takato, to say where his little fox went.

Best Wishes

Golgomesh

Taichi smiled. For once there was good news. He walked straight over to the model he had, pinpointing out the village. They were getting close and they were getting powerful.

Sigh, sigh and even more sighs. Izumi couldn't stop sighing. Over one night things had turned upside down. Literally... the Aquila had to be carried away to prevent her from doing something nasty. Gravitation spells are not funny, she was lucky she had wings to hinder her from falling anywhere. Unlucky, foe her, she had stumbled over an angry witch who had hit her with this spell. Luckily it wasn't permanent, but so far the guys had to help her out.

Takuya was in a good mood this morning, the sun was shining and the spring was here. Kouji was like always walking beside him. The vampires brother, Kouichi, floated not too far away, guarding the little girl Shuiichon from doing bad things, much to her brother's amazement she didn't. For some reason there was now a pretty cute bond between them, a good bond of friendship.

Izumi sighed again as Junpei carried her over his shoulder. Tomoki walked beside them, looking up at her from time to time. He felt sorry for her.

At the moment they had just entered the Magical Elven forest, home of the elves. Elves were creatures of Wood, they had strong bonds with trees and loved the nature. There are five kinds of elves; high elves, wood elves, light elves, stream elves (water elves) and dark elves. Stream elves, who didn't live in this part of Nemorisa, were close to extinct since their homes were hunted for treasures.

Jenrya had taken the lead for them, leading them back to his pack of foxes. The fox was eager to return back to his pack, to tell them some great news for once. Not only had they lost their lands to darkness, but also lives for nothing. Some of his own clan-members didn't trust him and he needed trust in these dark times. Perhaps if he managed to do this right they would accept him for real.

"Are we there yet?" Tomoki asked bouncing up and down. Jenrya shook his head. A few minutes later the MistHimi wondered the same thing, with the same answer. The third time a hand clapped over his mouth before he had time uttering a word. Izumi could feel not the fox, but Kouji tense slightly starting to get really annoyed.

Don't mind him, I have a boyfriend who is a lot worse then him.

"Really, who? What's his name?" Kouichi asked still keeping an eye of the energetic little girl.

"Oh, you have met him already."Jenrya said. "His name is Takato, a Shapeshifter. A good friend to the dragons. He is cousin to the king of the Metamorphic Sea."

"A real royalty then, how on Earth did the two of you meet?" Junpei asked, setting down Izumi whose curse seemed to have finally lifted.

Izumi tossed her hair over her shoulder. "I know a lot about that guy. The Shapeshifters likes to keep an eye on things, that's why they change themselves to blend into other creatures. That guy has visited my Home many times, with the shabbiest pair of wings I have ever seen."

Jenrya laughed. "Like the first time he visited me. The shabbiest tail I have ever seen. But that's not the point. It was actually he who saw me first, and as the curious creature he is, he got closer to me. I didn't know who he actually was until years later. He's pretty good really, when he is not overdoing things, but he has a great imagination that puts skill on his transformations."

Takuya shook his head. "So, what you mean to say is that he saw you and started to flirt with you using another form then his own. What does a Shapeshifter really look like, does anyone know?"

Jenrya shrugged. "No one really knows, normally Shapeshifters takes a more human form, like Takato does when he doesn't feel like being something else. But the true form, it is hard to say. I wonder if they know themselves what they used to be."

"I clearly doubt it." Kouji said finishing the subject. Takuya's mind wandered back to the early days of their adventure, back when they had seen the Shapeshifter for the first time. Yet the pictures of his mind were dim. So much had happened he started to forget things.

It was raining when they finally reached the camp the foxes stayed in. Drenched tails and fur could be seen everywhere, a few surviving fires fought to remain burning. It was really a horrid sight. Injured soldiers and women, screaming children and elders. Some lay dead where they had fallen asleep, others fought to survive. Broken swords, splintered bows, broken spears and destroyed armour. A great battle had been fought.

Izumi and Kouichi were the first to hurry over, seeing what had happened with them. The Aquila took out the Beryl she had gotten from Takuya, and did her best to heal the worst wounds. Takuya looked at Kouji, whose eyes seemed to be ablaze. Jenrya was dumbstruck by the scene. Things hadn't been this bad when he had left. Their camp had been attacked, but when?

"Jenrya, you are back!" Ken said hopping over to his cousin, hugging him in relief. After being set free, the kitsune had rejoined with his cousin to fight the evil.

"Ken, what has happened?" Jenrya asked, hugging back relieved to see him alive and standing. Ken had been mildly injured compared to their comrades. A few scars and a stab in the arm was everything. A stab the elves had healed almost straight, so only a thin scar remained. Many elves walked around, helping the injured.

"Five of them, the five came this way and attacked us. They wanted information about the Ones, but we refused to give it too them. The eves helped us to drive them of, but apart from that there isn't much. I think you can guess what really happened. We lost half the clan as far counted, but more dead names appear every second."

"Half the... clan..." Jenrya said in amazement and fright. "But that is... that is... there is no word to describe it, really."

Ken suddenly smiled. "Try to look on the bright side. At least all of your enemy members are gone now, they were the first ones to die. They choose to die rather then to obey your commands."

The young clan-leader shook his head. "Perhaps, but we needed those men. You know, that is exactly what Takato would have said."

The kitsune walked away, dragging his sister with him. Shuiichon waved before hurrying after her brother. "Bye Kouichi!" she said in the normal language surprising everyone except for Kouichi. All the time they had spent together he had tried to teach her some of the normal language.

Two elves walked up to them, one looking very unnatural and the other more organic. Their names were Sora (an High Elf) and Juri (a Wood Elf).

"Greetings!" The High Elf said bowing slightly. My name is Sora, Lady of the Eastern Shimmer. This is my friend Juri, Lady of the Green Ruby. We are the Ladies who protect the wanderers that protect this opening in the woods."

Both elves curtsied graciously. Junpei was drooling slightly.

Takuya looked at Kouji, who seemed to try and make himself invisible from the conversation. Kouichi was the one who greeted them, and introduced them all, for this time, excluding his brother. It seemed that the twins knew each other pretty well.

The elves lead them to a tent placed in the middle of the opening (if you consider trees to be part of an opening). The tent looked as if it had grown out of the ground, placing elves as truly organic creatures. The furniture, the houses... things grew around it not caring that someone lived there and elves shared a special bond with trees.

The elf, Juri, went to get goblets with win or water. Elves loved wine, and they respected water. They all sat down around a table, talking. Even Kouji received a goblet of his own, even though the elves hadn't acknowledged him. It seemed they choose to leave him be until he would feel ready to speak. Vampires didn't feel quite comfortable with elves, out of different reasons and Kouji's reason was that he hated creatures that had the power to read his mind.

"So" Sora said. "We know who you are, and what powers you possess, we know that you are the Warriors seeking your way to ally with the other creatures in the Dragon Valley. We can read your thoughts, and yet we cannot see. You have arrived at our borders with nothing but darkness hunting you. You will infect these lands and may they never heal. What do you ask of the elves, the elves are listening?"

Four stunned faces looked at each other. Only the twins had ever met Elves before, and that had been back during Kouichi's flirting days. Izumi opened and closed her mouth, trying to figure out the right thing to say, yet failed. Junpei scratched the back of his head and Tomoki tumbled with his thumbs. Takuya didn't know what to say, so he did the best thing. Kept quiet.

"We didn't come here in the purpose of wiping out the elves. We came here to help a friend. And as for the darkness, I hope it isn't me you are thinking about. I may be a ghost now since last time I came here, but believe me neither me or my brother wants to do these lands harm."

Inspired of Kouichi's speech Takuya opened his mouth as well. Careful with his words. Elves had another tune around their conversations that sounded more royal then normal speech.

"The evil darkness has indeed been chasing us. I may be a newborn dragon but my heart cries of courage and bravery to use against the evil purposes. We were sent by dragons to find dragons whom we hope to ally ourselves with."

"My Ladies, tell the masters of this glorious forest we only want to pass through. We don't share any grudges against the nature. I am of the Fair Flyers and like I hope people accepts the winds, I believe you hope we accept the forest. Not a flower or root will be disturbed in its cycle." Izumi said.

"You all speak fairly of our land." Juri answered.

"But how do we know you speak the truth." Sora asked.

"A silenced and lying heart is not stupid enough to sit with such pure beings as elves." Kouji added breaking into the conversation. The vampire stared at the two elves, his blue eyes gleaming. "Perhaps I don't trust elves since you of all things can read every thought in my brain, but I do admire your purity."

"What a thoughtful comment coming from a vampire." Juri said giggling.

"He'll eventually learn that life itself can be lighter then he thinks. Vampires..." Sora said rolling her eyes. Takuya saw Kouji's fangs point out as a warning, but the vampire had yet not done something really stupid. The two elves laughed lightly turning to conversation to the forest, and its stories. But if any of those would be mentioned here, then we could sit here all day so better not.

After a long wait, listening to the Elven Stories Takuya was glad to come out from the tent, stretching his wings again. There were no houses and the ground was covered with roots only allowing the nimble creatures to sleep there. Izumi and Kouji decided to sleep upside down, hanging from two branches. Junpei didn't mind the roots and slept on the ground, both Tomoki and Takuya decided to find a comfortable spot in the trees. It became a quiet night for all of them, a night were you even could hear birds singing.

Little did they know that the elves had been right about the darkness, for as the moon looked down at them something entered Nemorisa that had not set its foot there for many ages. And the Earth shook out of disbelief, awakening everyone out of their slumber.

"What in the world was that?" Takuya said as he, like everyone else landed on the ground.

"By my feathery wings, I have no idea." Izumi answered.

The six of them simply shrugged it of, and went back to sleep. Well, as always except for the ghost, who went to haunt some nasty kitsune foxes to make time pass quicker.

A birth, a terror and the reunion with the world he once had left. Darkness formed around him, fitting into his armour of evil. The four remaining terrors bowed before his greatness.

He didn't look that impressing, no horns and no forked tail. But it wasn't his looks that were frightening. It was what he could do. Looking at a mountain it disintegrated before him, turning into ashes. Pain awaited those who opposed him and death for those who dared to challenge him. He was the ultimate evil, the identification of evil itself.

Now, the legend would unfold. Now, the revenge had started.

And his name, would shine in black ink upon the written scrolls of his legend, for all eternity.

Yet now his main goal would be, to destroy the only ones who could fight him. The six souls that had a change against his awesome powers.

The Six Warriors.

Screams and terror, that is what they heard as they all sleepily awoke. To their fear and amazement a huge force of darkness had followed them, entering the woods. They saw the elves burn, their immortal souls being swallowed by the Four Terrors of Nemorisa. The Six of the, got ready to fight thinking that with the victory over Mortog, this would be possible. But in vain. The Four remaining Terrors were more then stronger then Mortog. They seemed to be invincible. Mortog was a coward compared to them. Angrily they all had to retreat, watching as soul after soul was wiped out behind them.

Yet the worst of it awaited them around the corner. Kouichi and Kouji sensed it at first, not believing their own senses. It was the presence of a demon, a really strong demon. The one that the ancient legend described. And of them all, three of them could recognise the demon at once... yet only one of them said his name out right.

Takuya felt tears sting in his eyes. He couldn't believe this, he didn't want to believe it.

"Shinya... why?"

TBC

Yes, this chapter is done... and its... well... over. Next chapter may take a while since I must go back to another story, to update that one. Which really is a bigger project then this... writing a series of five stories in one category. Anyway, see yah all next time and don't forget to review, please?
