Rianna clutched the bouquet of red roses and baby's breath in her right hand. She strolled down a dirt path towards her husbands' grave. She kneeled down to stare at the soil her husband rested in. She closed her eyes and tossed the bouquet in front of the tombstone. She paused before she got up to turn around and leave. She toke a few paces; a hand sprung out of the ground, grabbing unto her ankle, pulling on it. Rianna screamed as she twisted her waist around kicking this mysterious hand. A head popped out of the burial place, spitting out dirt from its mouth.
"Hey I'm not dead!" The head spoke, loosing its grip on Rianna. "Can you help me up?"
"Why should I?" Rianna growled crossing her arms.
"I am your husband!" The man replied reaching his hand out.
"I thought I killed you?"
"Apparently, you didn't do a good job."
"You deserve to die! Why should I help you up?"
"I'll change!"
"Psh, ya right!"
"No, I've been thinking of becoming one with the earth!"
"Sure, and I like to kiss cute baby cockroaches and dance with Bambi in my spare time."
"Fine, don't help me! I'll get my boyfriend to do it!"
"WHAT! Boyfriend!"
"Yes, Sdei is my lover! And I'm in love with Calintz!"
"Sdei! Calintz I can see because he is so dreamy everyone loves him."
"So are you going to help me up?"
"Fine!" Rianna agreed as she bent over.
Rianna held Astel's grimy hand with one hand, and cleaned the soil with the other. She lifted herself up, which elevated him from his grave. Astel stood up, shaking himself off.
"It looks to me you have already become one with the earth!" Rianna laughed helping Astel wipe the dirt off.
The two of them skipped down the path to the Doran Ruins. They spotted a pale man with long jet-black hair. His eyes were as dark as his hair, which contrasted the colour of his face. He was wearing a tattered black suit. His boots were black with gray spikes; the heels of his boots were so tall, the front of his shoes had been plat formed.
"Azhadi?" Rianna commented with widened eyes. "How many dead people have popped out of their graves today?"
"Who?" the man answered raising his thin eyebrows.
"Are you not Azhadi, one of the Four Warriors?" Astel questioned.
"No, My name is Marilyn Mason!" the man hissed, glaring at the couple. "You know you play too many video games when you enter a game!"
The man smirked then disappeared into thin air.
"That was weird…" Rianna said, baffled by the event.
"RIANNA!" A voice beckoned in the distance.
Astel and Rianna turned their heads to glance behind them. Six people trotted towards them: Calintz, Serina, Azel, Chris, Raul and Eonis; Katherine and Fred lagged behind.
"Hey guys!" Rianna greeted them with a smile. "Long time, no see!"
"Is that Astel beside you?" Eonis questioned pointed to the grubby man.
"Yes it is. "Rianna answered as she sighed. "He didn't die so he attempted to climb out of his grave."
Katherine and Fred caught up with them as Katherine introduced herself, "Hello I'm the Duchess of Yason-Roven, Katherine; Raul's daughter-in-law."
"We're married?" Fred asked in amazement.
"Uh, yes! We married each other twenty-eight years ago, you halfwit!" Katherine responded, rolling her eyes.
"Oh, I forgot." Fred giggled.
"You never told me you had children, Raul." Rianna mentioned shaking Katherine's' hand.
"I only have one. My wife died giving birth"
"I'm sorry." Rianna apologized.
"I apparently have grandchildren." Raul announced. We are on a quest to find out who they are!"
"We are going to the Pnosen Library to find clues. I'm also going there to find out who my father is." Calintz added.
"We are going home to give Astel a bath."
"I don't wanna bath!" Astel complained.
"Don't give me that!" Rianna growled, while holding unto his ear. "Now let's go home!"
Rianna pulled Astel's ear as she marched down the path.
"It was nice meeting you two." She hollered from the distance.
