Leonardo tripped over his own two feet as he struggled to get prepared to leave for the walk to Crimea's castle. He shoved his brown boots onto his feet almost knocking himself over with how much force he used. He through his bow over his shoulder and grabbed his arrows. He had almost forgotten the fact that he was in a tree, but he stopped himself from falling out of the wooden room to the ground below. He sighed and slipped down the rope attached to the tree and landed on his feet to the ground below. He had a one track mind now and no one or thing was going to stop him from going to the castle where he believed that he would be reunited with Edward. He was excited and edger to get going, but he was the last one to get ready. He stumbled over to Night, Micaiah and Bruce. He was having a hard time walking from his excitement. Micaiah and Bruce paid his off behavior no mind, just guessing that his wound had weakened Leonardo's legs a bit, which would have made it hard for him to walk. Night, although, noticed the difference quickly and smirked. He had gone to check on Leonardo late last night and Leonardo was a dream about Edward. Unfortunately for Leonardo he talked in his sleep reveling his love for Leonardo to Night. Night, like Sothe, supported their relationship even though he did not know Edward. Micaiah had never even once had the thought of Leonardo and Edward being together. Bruce on the other had heard Leonardo dream about Edward before, though he was never one to pick out signs of love. When Leonardo finally made it over to the group, they were arm wrestling. To his surprise Micaiah had beaten Night and the muscular Bruce with no problem at all. The three were sitting up against a nearby tree to the tree that held the room where Leonardo had been staying in. Night got to his feet and stretched his deep black wings out.

"You're edger." Night mocked him. Leonardo noticed his tone and at once knew that Night had found something out. He looked at him curiously, but then let the thought drop, what did he know?

"Just a bit…" Leonardo said, shyly. Bruce finally picked up on what Night was trying do, to get Leonardo to admit he was deeply in love with this Edward. Bruce got up and walked over to Night.

"Now, come on boss, give the kid a break." Bruce butted in. Micaiah got up, although she had no idea what was going on. Bruce walked up to her and put his arm around her shoulders. He had been crushing on Micaiah since yesterday and it was starting to annoy her. Night was also slightly annoyed at how easily Bruce would disobey him to be closer to Micaiah. Micaiah backed away from him and ran over to Leonardo and Night, hiding behind to two.

"I really think you should stop that…" Leonardo said, timidly. He knew all Bruce had to do to crush him was sit on him. This made him free the large raven greatly.

"Oh, come don't be shy…" Bruce said, but he was soon interrupted

"Bruce, give it up. All you're doing is making her more afraid of you, stupid." Night said, it was more of a command then a statement.

"At least I didn't have an afar with our king." Bruce snorted disappointed by Night's little command.

"You did not just go there!" Night snapped. Leonardo watched from the sidelines as the two began to argue about which was worse, scaring Micaiah out of her mind or having an afar with your king. After ten or so minutes Leonardo gave up on the hope that they would stop themselves any time soon, especially because Bruce just brought up the fact that Night had a sexual interest in men and was now using that against him in his jokes.

"Um, I know you two are having an impotent conversation, but I think we should leave now, please?" Leonardo said, trying to sound brave although his voice sounded weak and frightened.

"Yeah, sorry Leonardo." Night said. Bruce nodded and stopped bothering Micaiah. Night lead the group from the small forest onto the path to Crimea's capital, where the castle was. It was a long walk, but Night's right wing was weakened in his long ago fight with Naesala on the night he left and therefore he was unable to carry anyone. Bruce could carry all of them, but he was afraid of flying. It was the only thing in the world he seemed to fear, so they were stuck walking the distance. Micaiah lagged on behind the three boys. She was tired and worried about the rest of the Dawn Brigade. Her heart just wasn't into going to the castle without knowing how the others were doing. She thought desperately of Sothe and her always loyal protector Volug. Leonardo glanced back at her and gave her a look of concern. She simply waved him off and kept walking on. Leonardo figured it was best not to bother her at the moment. He looked over at Bruce who was walking beside him. He seemed nervous and he kept glancing around. Leonardo shot him a suspicious stare, but Bruce did not notice it. Leonardo looked at Night, who was a few feet ahead of them. He seemed calm, but still Leonardo could not let Bruce's new attitude go, something seemed off about the raven. Leonardo watched him carefully while he kept an eye on Micaiah making she did not fall any further behind. Leonardo ran ahead of Bruce and began to walk beside Night.

"Bruce is acting strange." Leonardo whispered to him. Night gave him an odd look and glanced back to Bruce.

"What are you talking about?" Night asked.

"He just seems really off today. There is something I don't like about it."

"Maybe he's sick or something."

"Night, please listen to me!"

"Alright, alright, calm down Romeo."

"Hey…oh never mind. He…" Leonardo was cut short by a loud scream. He flung around to see Bruce, now in his raven form, flying off with Micaiah being held tight in his large talons. She struggled against his grip and began to kick in the air, trying to make the large bird drop her. Her attempts were only making Bruce dig his talons into her flesh causing her to bleed. Leonardo ran after Bruce.

"Shoot him down, Leonardo." Night said his voice calm and dark just as it had been the day he had saved Leonardo. Leonardo looked back at him in surprise, but took aim at Bruce. He aimed the arrow at Bruce's wing and let it fly swiftly through the air. The arrow missed Bruce's wing, but managed to hit his talons causing him to drop Micaiah. Luckily for her, she was not too high in the air and Leonardo was able to catch her. He placed her down on the ground and aimed at Bruce again as he turned back around to attack Leonardo. A smirk appeared across Bruce's beak.

"I know where Edward is!" Bruce called. Leonardo dropped his bow and stared at the raven.

"Where is he?!"

"I'll tell you if you give me the girl."

"I will not."

"Well, then I'll tell you that he is dying from a wound and will probably be dead in a few days!" Bruce laughed.

"Liar!"

"It's the truth, fool, but you will not be able to save him because you won't give her to me!" Bruce screeched as he flew into Leonardo knocking him onto the ground, pinning him down. Leonardo put his arm up, so Bruce would be attacking it instead of his face. Another, smaller raven collided with Bruce, knocking him off Leonardo. Night dodged Bruce's fierce attacks, but was unable to fight back. Night was far faster then Bruce, but Bruce was far stronger then Night. Leonardo stumbled to his feet and grabbed his bow.

"Micaiah, quickly get going to the castle. It isn't far from here, please hurry! Head the way Night said to go!" Leonardo called out as he launched an arrow at Bruce, but it missed. Micaiah nodded and bolted off in the direction of the castle.

"Don't you dare!" Bruce called ass he flew toward her. Night moved into the way and attacked Bruce. The two locked talons and spiraled in the air. Leonardo chased after them. He was hoping somewhere in his mind that Bruce really did know where Edward was. Night and Bruce hit the ground, but both were able to get back into the air. Leonardo, fired arrows at Bruce, but all of them missed. He was afraid of hitting Night, which was ruining his chances of hitting Bruce.

"Bruce, why did you betray us?!" Leonardo yelled.

"I was never on your side fool! Begnoin has promised me more money then Daein will have in a hundred years for my aid!" Bruce yelled, "And besides who would want to follow a leader who was questioning his own sanity and purpose! No wonder Naesala and you once loved one another, you're a prefect match! You're both fools for trying to help those dammed Beorc!" Bruce yelled. Leonardo glared at him, it was obvious that Bruce was trying to make Night angry, but he was failing at it thankfully.

"Night!" Leonardo called.

"I know, Leonardo. I will force him to tell you where Edward is." Night said.

"Fool! I'll kill you both and then bathe in your beautiful, delicious blood, Night! You should have fallen for me instead of your idiotic king! We could have had so much fun, well fun for me at least!" Bruce yelled as he turned away from Night and went to attack Leonardo. Leonardo aimed an arrow at him and quickly let it go, the arrow pierced Bruce's eye. Bruce screamed in pain and fell onto the ground in his human form. He moved his hand to his eye ripping the arrow from it, but the head got stuck in his eye. Blood gushed from his eye as he screamed and held his hand over it. Night landed on the ground and changed into his human form. Leonardo aimed another arrow at Bruce.

"Now tell me, where is Edward?!" Leonardo yelled.

"Please, you won't do it!" Bruce yelled. Leonardo looked away from him with a pained look on his face. Bruce was right; he couldn't torture even him for Edward. He was weak. Night put his hand on Leonardo's shoulder.

"Leonardo it is a good thing you can not do it, but unlike you I am not afraid to. Bruce you have one chance before I make you wish you were never created, now answer him." Night said.

"I will not!" Bruce screamed. Night walked over to him and ripped the arrow head from his eye. Bruce screamed in pain and tried to stop the blood from coming out of his eye. He rolled around on the floor and Night pushed him over onto his back. He slammed the arrow head into Bruce's gut. Bruce screamed again as Night put his foot on where the arrow head was and pushed all of his weight onto it. Bruce screamed in horror as he watched, with his good eye, the blood spewing from his gut. Leonardo looked away from the scene; he could fell tears dripping down his face.

"Okay, I'll tell you! He's being held in a prison in Daein! The prison is owned by Jarod and is known as the Hell Gate! He was captured with the others and he is wounded badly! I saw him with my own eyes in a cell on the fifth level with Sothe and a few girls and an old raven!" Bruce screamed.

"Now, go Bruce or I will kill you." Night snapped. Bruce got up and slowly walked away. Both Night and Leonardo knew that he would die.

"Night?"

"Don't worry it can't be that hard to find, now come on let's get going." Night said turning to the right away from the direction Micaiah had gone. Leonardo ran after him.

"Night, where are you going?!"

"To return Juliet to Romeo, Micaiah will be fine, she might even be there by now."

"You mean..!"

"Yes, Juliet we're going to save Edward." Leonardo's face lit up with joy and ran over to Night and hugged him.

"Oh, thank you Night, thank you!" Leonardo said.

"Yeah…now get off of me." Leonardo let go of Night.

"Sorry." Leonardo said. He was so excited; it wouldn't be long before he and Edward were together again. He had so much to tell him. He wanted to be in Edward's arm once again, to feel his warmth and protection. Leonardo could barely contain himself from screaming in joy. It would not be long now.
