"This is where we're meeting Brooklyn," Mystel voiced sitting on the rock closest to him. "It's a good thing the storm finally let up."

"When should they be here," the man closest to him grunted. Mystel looked his way, the man was definitely someone he didn't like. The word bath did not exist in the man's vocabulary and he was worse a ruffian than Crusher ever had time to. He'd never been one to just kill and get messy. Mystel was a clean killer. The best one at that.

"Look with Wyatt it will take them longer to get here plus the storm hindered their traveling so it will be a while. Knowing Brooklyn though it will be the shortest time anyone could cross the woods to get here." Mystel voiced knowingly. The golden mask covered his eyes heightening the force of his glare. Honestly he had to buy off 15 rough necks from almost every nation for this job. It better have been worth it.
"Brooklyn are we near the mountain yet," Ming-Ming wined.

"No," Garland answered her. "We're still a good hour and a half walk from it."

Ming-Ming stopped, "You have to be kidding me? Please tell me your lying."

Garland spared her a smirk as Crusher sighed, "I can't tell you that because than it would be a lie."

Brooklyn walked on ahead of them. The long walk they'd started didn't affect him at all, his dark wings hung back concealing the sword he kept ready at his side. The handle was a deep purple shade with a light blue diamond in the middle. The sword of the Avain General.

"Keep moving," Crusher grunted pushing Wyatt forward.

The prince had enough sense to keep quiet the entire time but he wasn't built for the long trials. His breathing was hard and the pace they were pushing him at didn't allow him any room to rest. He was exhausted.

"Pick him up Crusher," Brooklyn commanded. "We're going to get to the mountain in forty five minutes."

"What?!" Ming-Ming voiced but Crusher obeyed without an order. The girl couldn't believe it he was going to make them walk that must faster. Garland could've laughed the woman. If she wasn't that good with fighting at her element they'd have left her behind. He honestly didn't mind the challenge, he was at his peak physical form.


"Alright, let's head out," Kane looked at the men. He'd given them his orders, five groups would head out in a fanning position hoping to intercept them before Brooklyn got to the ancient dead volcano. The avian messenger had been sent ahead to the wolf forces in the west to meet them there. But it would take the avian a day to get their with notifications.

"Jim, Salima, Goki," Kane looked at his hand selected group. "Let's go." They nodded his way. All of them were human but they had worked their skills up to the point that every other race respected them for what they were. Together no one had stood up to him at all.

If any team had a hope of fending off Brooklyn's team it would be his. His team of elite, the best the human nation had to offer.


Kai woke up and sighed standing. His back hurt and he stretched, the pain wasn't from the discomfort of his aching wings but because he'd slept sitting up against a wall. That had to have been the worst thing he could've done last night.

He looked up at the picture of himself and his parents and suddenly everything weighed a ton. "Damn." He muttered leaning against the wall, his head touching his younger form as his body began to shake.

"Damn," he muttered again louder.

He turned sharply disgusted at himself at the wrath he was feeling now, in rage he looked at the crowns. Two side by side, the large golden one that had once adorned his father's head. The smaller one was silver it was on his mothers.

"Mom," he muttered. Carefully he lifted the glass and ran his and down her crown doing the same to his fathers. Somehow touching the cold metal made him feel better, closer with them. It calmed him down.

"What a mess," he muttered. He put them up and turned out the door locking it back in place before walking to the other people. It was quiet, no rain he realized and as he looked out the door a sigh of relief fell through him, the storm was over he could start putting the place behind him.

"Not until I do something," he mumbled. No matter what the other princes said Kai didn't trust one any of them. He had to hid the treasure room to the point that no one could ever find it again. He needed the door to be sealed. Forever.

Pain gripped his heart but he knew it was the only way. He'd rather seal the entrance than have the others take away any hope for his race, any hope that one day someone would be able to do what he couldn't. He might as well destroy every avian than kill their hope.

Dranzer landed on his shoulder as if knowing his problems and bit his hear fondly.

Kai stroked the bird, "I'm a messed up person," Kai voiced. "I should have never been born," he voiced lowly to himself. "I'm sorry mom, but I can't be the savior. I can't bring your people out of slavery dad, I'm not who you thought I would be."

The bird chirped and Kai put him on his hand before letting him fly off into the clear sky. Sighing one last time he walked over to the one person he knew he could almost trust. Ilyana.

The girl wasn't on his I trust you with my life list, no one was, but she was loyal to Bryan and Lex. That fact that she was loyal to them made him trust her. She could hate him to the day he died but she loved Bryan and Lex. Bryan's pro avian attitude would keep her in check.

"Huh," she turned as he shook her awake and gasped when he covered her mouth with his hand. Did she have to wake up so loud? He looked over and noticed Tala turn slightly. Even in sleep he was surprised at the wolf's perception.

"Follow me," he whispered and she nodded though he could smell the fear coming off her. Good she was weary. Something he should have been years ago.

"What do you want?" she whispered to him when they were out of reach. He obviously didn't want the others to know about it.

"I want you to seal up the door to the rooms," Kai looked at her. "Do it so no one will have a clue where it is except you and me, do you understand?" He looked at her sharply. Time to see if he was right.

"Yes, but why?" she looked at him.

"I don't trust the others," he answered honestly.

"But you trust me," she seemed skeptical.

Kai knew this time honesty was on his side. H didn't have to lie to this time around and for that he was grateful. "No I don't, but I trust your love and loyalty to Bryan and Lex. I trust that you won't do anything to hurt them and if sealing the room is the only way to protect their heritage for sure, than I trust you to do it efficiently."

She looked at him, that was the most he'd ever said since they day they had met. Ilyana couldn't believe her ears. He was right though, and she knew it . "Alright so why do you want to protect their heritage? What link do you have to their past?"

Kai didn't turn around taking the advantage of standing in front of her. He hadn't expected that question and he thought. "James was in charge of its protection and as my father I take up his role."

"You mean foster father, he's obviously not your real father," she voiced.

"No," Kai sighed. How much did she want to dig into his past? Well she could want all she wanted for as long as she wanted. He'd give her some answers but that was it.

"Are you going to do this or do I need to put my faith in some one else?" he asked.

"Fine," Ilyana huffed. "This will take me ten minutes."

"They won't wake up for another thirty," he voiced.

Ilyana huffed one last time. That had taken a lot more out of her than she wanted to admit, but it was done. She hoped Bryan would understand why she had done it.

"There," she voiced.

"Are you sure that no one else with the same power can figure out the exact point you moved the rock?"

"Yes," she sighed. "They'd have to know the exact position I started from or where the room was in the first place to know where to move the rock, so yeah it's as safe as it's going to get."

"Good," Kai voiced turning around.

She sighed, Alexander was one werid fellow.

When they got back the others had started to stir and neither said anything about what had happened.


"There he is," Mystel whispered to himself happy. Brooklyn and the others came up from the woods and made their way towards him. It was about time.

"These the men?" Crusher asked looking at them all.

"Yeah this is it," Mystel voiced. "When we going hunting because they have been driving me crazy waiting for you so we can get started with the deal. Bunch of impatient men waiting for their pay off."

"We start now," Brooklyn voiced. His eyes were to the sky as a red bird chirped and flew in circles happy to be out in clear skies. "Hand me a bow and arrow."


"Can you please move these rocks?" Tala looked at Rei. "I mean with the skies clear we don't need the extra cover and it's starting to smell like urine."

"Alright," the elf motioned for the other two to help him and the rock moved back into place.

"Look at that beautiful sun," Tyson laughed. "It's about time!"

"Check out the bird," Ilylana laughed. Dranzer swooped low and glided before flying up and doing a circle. HE seemed so cheerful and care free like a child.

Kai looked up and smirked slightly, maybe the sun was a good sign.

An arrow came through the air ripping it apart as it embedded itself in the bird's breast. Dranzer shrieked before falling to the ground.

"What in the hell?!" Tala yelled looking over grabbing his weapons.

Kai stood as the others yelled and looked at the falling bird.

He couldn't breath as the scream echoed in his ears and his blood ran hot. He didn't control his body as he pushed past the others and stared down five feet to the bottom below. Over twenty men stared back at him but he only had eyes for one.

Brooklyn stood in the middle holding the bow as he stared up at the sky, his eyes never falling to the blood ridden carcass at his feet.

"What is Brooklyn doing here?" Rei voiced. It didn't matter, Kai moved back into the cave and to his side of sleeping material.

"Alexander," Hiro spoke watching the male. Kai didn't hear him pulling out the large sack he rummaged through it coming across his sword. Strapping it around his waste he walked forward, his eyes shining red and a blank look on his face.

"Listen," Rei tried to stop him by putting a hand on his chest. Brooklyn didn't know about the bird and the elf was sure Alexander had murder in his eyes. He had to stop him.

Kai didn't want to be stopped though. Pushing by him the male ignored everything but the blood in his ears. He jumped down.

The others looked at each other before Hiro and the others did the same.


"Be prepared," Brooklyn voiced watching Kai land with grace. His eyes narrowed remembering the humiliation the male had caused. A small glint came in his eyes as he saw the princes among those that had jumped. The beginning of the new era was at hand.

"I want them all alive," he called out to the men. "If anyone of them dies I will kill all of you, your lives are in each others hands now."

The men grunted but understood. Mystel couldn't help but smirk a little. Even if they were ruffians their fear of Brooklyn would make them act like civilized fighters, at least for now.

The dark avian stared ahead at Kai who stared. The sword was already in his hands as he measured up the orange haired teen, his enemy. Brooklyn seized him up as well running his eyes up and down the figure. Strong physique with the balanced muscles of a trained fighter but it didn't matter. He could tell by looking in his eyes that the man was angry, fierce and that in it self showed that he was no match for his sword. In his mind he knew that the fight was already over, the slate haired man had already lost.

"Brooklyn!" Tyson yelled laughing passing the slate haired male. Kai tensed but let him run ahead. There was something about the other man's eyes that put him on edge.

"It's about time you got here," Tala commented stopping and folding his arms. Rei and Max joined him and they smirked. The ex entertainers stood in the back ground but their weapons were at hand. They had learned to be weary of anyone and everyone.

"Bastard," Bryan muttered grinding his teeth. Hiro turned to him than stared at the group. The only person he recognized was Brooklyn, head of the united nations guard. Son of the man who had betrayed the avian race bringing the closer of the war. No wonder Bryan wasn't ready to welcome him with open arms.

Not that Hiro liked the man at all. His fist clenched open and shut but he was barely aware, the want to kill the man was too much at the moment. He had to calm down, anger brought rash decisions which brought death. There would be no good in him getting pissed.

"Something's not right," Hiro muttered staring closer. "Tyson STOP!"

The dragon prince fumbled with his feet but turned around to the other man who began jogging to him, his long heavy sword on his back. "Damn it," Hiro muttered.

"What why?" Tyson looked at him. "This is a good guy, Brooklyn's our guard."

The fact that Hiro had rushed forward pushed the others closer.

"Don't be an idiot," Hiro scolded looking at the men. "The only person you recognize is Brooklyn because the rest are a bunch of hired thieves."

"What do you mean?" Tyson looked between him and Brooklyn with a frown. "He's head of the guard."

"Look at his men," Hiro glared at the group. "They're not clothed in uniform, these are hired militia, mercenaries, why would they send a bunch of untrustworthy men out for money to find the next leaders of the nation."

"Oh come on," Tyson yelled. "Your paranoid."

"He's right," Tala voiced. "This just isn't…"

"Someone caught on fast," Garland voiced laughingly walking up to the group. "Think for a second Tyson why aren't we wearing uniforms?"

"But…" Tyson voiced in disbelief.

"Defend yourself," Garland voiced his hands going behind him pulling out thick needles between his closed fisted fingers. With a small battle cry he threw them at the young prince.

"Damn," Hiro voiced. There was no way he could make it in time. Rei did however falling to his knees and creating an earth barrier were the needles plowed.

Tyson fell back catching himself. Hiro moved quickly gathering the younger male and threw him to his feet towards the others. "Ilyana now!"

The female elf nodded, "Mariah help me build a barrier! We have to have cover!" As she spoke arrows flew into the sky, Bryan threw up his head and blew into the air. The force of air he had to move made his wings come out to increase his power.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Tala yelled.

"They're attacking you," Spencer yelled. "He's a traitor and if you don't want to die than pull out your weapon and get ready."

Brooklyn frowned slightly as the group disappeared behind a barrier of earth before it became impassive. So they were going to fight, futile but interesting.

"Get rid of the barrier," he voiced. "We need to separate them." Garland nodded.

"Elves move the earth," he commanded. The ruffians moved into action their eyes glinting with the anticipation of blood.

"Can we trust them to keep them alive," Ming-Ming asked Mystel as the elves move.

"If they look like they're going to kill them than take their life first. Marines' to the back, humans up front with the arrows," Mystel commanded.

"So play time," Hiro muttered. "Max, Spencer, Lex, pull the moisture from the soil, the raining had to have given you enough to, so pull it from the barrier."

"They're trying to pull the wall down," Rei barked as he felt another force pulling against him.

"Hang on to it," Hiro snapped. "When Lex and the others have pulled out the water let the barrier go, they're going to push the body of water that way than pull it back. Bryan we're going to send them a tornado afterwards full of ice and fire. You and Tyson prepare it, Kai and Tala add to it."

Bryan nodded and began forming the fast air in between his hand creating more pressure.

"This isn't right," Tyson cried. "I'm not doing this."

"Damn it help me," Bryan growled.

"No," Tyson shook his head sitting on the ground.

"That barrier has to go," Crusher voiced. "When need to get this man to man."

"On it," Garland smirked. Focusing his energy in his hands he collapsed to his knees punching the earth with as much force as he could. The ground trembled as the others did the same ripping the earth open.

"Wh…" Rei yelled falling backwards. Beside him Mariah had to jump away to get out of the way of falling earth.

"Now!" Hiro yelled.

The second group got their footing back and sent the wall of water but Mystel was ready.

"Send it back!" He had lucked out and gotten seven water controlling creatures. Their combined strength pushed back the water.

"Bryan!" Hiro yelled. The male pushed out his tornado and Kai and Tala wasted no time adding to it. The fire hitting the water created steam that was swirled around by the wind giving cover to the ice daggers Tala had added. Several screams were heard from the other side making the wolf smirk.


"So your fire," Brooklyn thought amused. For some reason it seemed to fit the male, wasn't the hottest flame blue?

"Crusher," Brooklyn called calm on the sidelines. "Take several of the men and circle around them."

"Under what cover?" the male looked at him. He wasn't going to be open prey for them to pick off.

"I'll cover you," Brooklyn assured. That was enough for Crusher, he had faith in the other male and knew that Brooklyn wouldn't allow anything to happen. He was too perfect.

"Ming-Ming," Brooklyn turned to her. "Take out the tall male that was talking earlier with the light blue hair. He's their leader." He used his power over darkness to infest Crusher and the others shadow to give them cover as they moved through the mist.

"Right," she agreed. Her features changed into a dragon. Dark wings sprouted from her back and the once innocent demeanor was gone with a new woman warrior in its place. That was her true strength. The ability to change forms mentally, change who she was.

Getting into the air above the she sought out Hiro.

"You need to get the barrier up," Hiro yelled. "Tala send more daggers, after he does that Bryan I want you to-"

His neck was on fire as the male put his hand to the base of it. He was aware of a pointy needle surrounded by blood. His body froze and everything that he was going to say was stopped as he fell unconscious.

"Hiro!" Spencer yelled. Evenescence was at his side in a second, her hand on his neck.

"He's not dead just paralzied."

"Like that's any better right now?" Ilyana growled.

"Bryan in the sky!" Spencer voiced. The male looked up and saw the female dragon growling before taking off after her in an aerial battle.

Ming-Ming didn't know what was coming after her until after she felt blood fall down her arm from where his dagger scrapped. Bryan came after her fast and hard. She turned towards the sky going higher trying to find cover in the clouds.

"Tyson you have to clear the fog," Rei called. "We need to see what we're up against."

"No," the dragon spoke. "Brooklyn's are guard he wouldn't do that."

"Reality check," Kai growled. "His father betrayed his people what makes you think he'd be any different? If you don't want to die than clear the fog you idiotic pig!"

Tyson grumbled but breathed out a long breath. The fog disappeared showing men surrounding them. In the cover of the fog Brooklyn had moved his tiny troop around them, there was absolutely no escape.

"Damn," Ilyana whispered. The grip on her rapier became tighter. Using the elements in this close range would do more damage than good.

"I suggest you give up," Mystel laughed. "You can't win."

"Why are you doing this?" Rei demanded looking at the blonde.

"No particular reason," Mystel smirked.

"What's going on Brooklyn?" Tyson demanded angry.

"Treason," the orange haired male voiced eerily calm. The field stood silent until Ming-Ming shrieked than Bryan screamed in pain.

Without waiting for any word from the others, Lex pulled out her wings and flew into the air with a gust of wind.

"Damn it," Garland voiced. "Two avians."

"Doesn't matter," Mystel voiced. "There's two here that can handle it, Queen, King hit the sky."

Two of the ruffians came out of the crowd completely covered in long coats. They pulled off their hoods revealing two twins, one male one female the faces of the most famous assassins in the world. The two smirked before revealing their avian like wings almost matching their marked foreheads, each a white color.

"No," Ilyana growled out loud as they disappeared in the clouds.

"Hilary," Mariah whispered. "Use the light."

Hilary nodded happy to be of some use. She felt the sun radiating off of her and took in the energy it gave off in rays waiting for the chance to use it. She felt her body heat up and than released it in a large light.

"Shit," Evenescence barked. The light was so strong Hilary could hurt all of them. Using her power she forced the shadows to come together and form a barrier around the others on the ground. Her ears moved to the top of her head turning canine and black. Her tall straight behind her and as she growled her new fangs showed.

Brooklyn took a step back from the light but than used his own shadow to wrap around the light and hook onto Evenescence creation. The light was strong and the opposite of darkness yes, but without darkness there wasn't light and without light darkness could not exist.

His shadow gained strength and with little effort he tore control away from Evenescence and wrapped the dark shadow around the brown haired dragon. She screamed in horror as the darkness tore away at her soul and power. When it released her she unconscious to the ground.

That seemed to wake the others up and pushed forward. Rei began a match with Crusher, Max with Mystel, Evenescence guarded the wounded, Tala found Brooklyn along with Tyson, Spencer took on two men at a time and the others bounded forward.

Several men came after Kai but he hacked them down one by one using the sword to hold his fire. Garland grew interested and came forward to fight. Sand flew over Kai's head letting him know that he was coming and the next thing Kai knew the male was bobbing and weaving in front of him dodging the sword.

Garland pulled out two kunai from his back pouch and fended off the other metal. As sword hit the clanging sent a satisfying tremor down his arm. The male had always enjoyed fighting. That was his profession.

Kai made sure to conserve his energy for Brooklyn as he swung around again. To his gratification the other male seemed to be losing energy. Kai sighed pulling up his scarf to cover his mouth and began weaving back and forth at such a speed even Garland had trouble defending him self. He was pushed against the rocks as Kai loomed in front of him.

Ming-Ming had finally gotten away from the others as King and Queen finished off their victims.

King grabbed Ilyana by the wrists placing the cuffs on her wrists non to gentle. The girl barely felt it, as her body pulled back from falling off into exhaustion. Bryan beside her fended off Queen but it was a loosing battle. She barley noticed King pull her to the ground than back off, her wings retracting into her back.

The dragon waited as Queen deposited the other avian on the ground before creating a small tornado in her hand. Taking the pouch she poured the purple contents into the wind and let it sprinkle on the battlefield.

Garland pivoted to the left throwing the needles at him as the powder fell. He smelled the garlic like fragrance and ran out of the way leaving Kai behind. The male saw the needles and threw out his hands spinning, a dome fire structure enclosed around him melting the powder and needles around him.

"What," Evanescence stopped. The smell hit her nose and she caught a particle on her finger tasting it. Her eyes grew in large, "Idiauss." The poison was rare but it negated any chance for anyone to control the elements, temporarily paralyzing their abilities.

And everyone got hit.

Kai finished his attack and kneeled breathing hard. The energy he was using was tough in his human like state. He needed to become him self.

Whatever advantage the others had was gone as Brooklyn stepped forward, his shadow stretched hitting everyone of theirs, climbing up to their knees holding them still.

"What the hell," Tala barked. Two men came behind him laughing as they forced his arms back tying them back. Rei growled as Crusher roughly pulled his arms back and he heard Max beside him grunting in pain. It was over.

Kai looked down as the shadow came his way and jumped onto a rock formation. The others were tied now and hauled to his feet as he stood, his sword hung limply at his side.

"Look like we missed one," Ming-Ming commented landing with Queen and King.

"Should I get him," Garland asked but Brooklyn held up his hand stopping any chance for the elf to have fun.

"GET YOUR FILTY HANDS OFF ME!" Evenescence growled as one of the men wrapped his arm around her waste. He laughed but she didn't pulling her head back she grabbed his ear between her teeth and yanked pulling it off. She spat out the blood as he yelled in agony.

"You bitch!" He cried slapping her across the mouth. She fell to the ground glaring back up at him.

"Touch her again and I'll pull out your eyes," Hiro voiced. He forced himself to his knees than to his feet.

"I'd like to see you try," the man growled lifting his foot.

Hiro jumped in the way and took the force landing across the female's tale.

"That's enough," Brooklyn commanded catching the man with his shadow. The darkness came up like a hand pushing him against the rocks. "I gave no one permission to touch them."

The other men backed off slightly.

"You would do well to give up this fight," Brooklyn looked at Kai. "You've lost."

"I was hoping we could pick up where we left off," Kai looked at him.

Brooklyn smirked. "There's no need to, you're of no use to me dead."

"You might think differently by the time I'm through with you," he muttered mentally. The blade in his hands ached for the orange haired boys blood.

"Ahh!" Wyatt gasped as Crusher pushed him to the ground in front of the others.

"And here's the final piece to the collection."

"Wyatt!" Max yelled.

The brown haired male looked horrible as he huddled on the ground. His clothes were torn, his feet hurt and dehydration had taken its toll.

"He's not going to make it," Garland ignored Kai and commented towards Wyatt. Why would he worry about the other male? It wasn't like he could do any more damage he was outnumbered and outclassed.

"He'll make a nice gift for when Kane gets here," Brooklyn commented.

"Kane?" Mystel looked at him. What did the human captain have to do with this?

"No doubt he's on his way," Brooklyn amused aloud. "King, Queen, finish Prince Wyatt off."

"What?!" Tyson and Max yelled together as the two avian twins came forward.

"You bastard," Tala growled fighting against his bonds but it was no use. Without his ice element there was no breaking them.

"Alexander," Rei yelled as the two dragged Wyatt to his feet and stretched their wings. "You have to do something, please!"

"Why would I do anything," Kai voiced as the two took off into the sky. "I owe you all nothing and we're all dead anyway."

Wyatt opened his eyes and looked directly into Kai's cold ones. He didn't know what he had done to offend the other male, they had never met, but he was sorry. The hatred in those eyes was something he had never seen before and he didn't like the look it gave the other male.

"If you stand there your just as guilty," Rei yelled. "If he dies you helped them commit murder, killing royalty no less."

"Why should that bother me?" Kai asked looking into Wyatt's eyes. The younger male stared down at him with fear and pleading before it disappeared into a vacant look. It was as if he'd accepted his fate.

Brooklyn listened to the exchange amused as Rei pleaded. The other man was just as he had thought, a universe himself, only looking out for his needs.

"If you don't save him than you'll be just as guilty as he is!" Hiro cried. "I know you're a man for yourself but you can't go through life like that."

Queen and King flew up higher stopping to glide.

"Say goodnight Prince-boy," Queen hissed. And they let go.

"No!" Tyson cried trying to pull away his wings hitting the men behind him.

Kai watched his fall as if in slow motion, his breathing increasing.

"SAVE HIM!"

A voice yelled and Kai jerked up his head recognizing it as his fathers. Without hesitation he threw the sword to the ground and sprinted to a large boulder, climbing it and jumped into the air. He allowed his true form to swallow his being and the aching in his back stopped as his wings expanded and new energy poured into him.

Lex felt as if someone had punched in the gut as she watched his blood red wings fill the sky in front of her. Never had she seen something so beautiful and vibrant…so unbelievable.

"Dranzer," Bryan muttered beside her not trusting his eyes.

"How," Tala whispered lightly as the others watched in shock and silence as Kai gracefully caught the fainted Wyatt in his arms. The older male landed near the others placing him at Tyson's feet, his wings brushing the males shoulders as he kneeled.

"Who are you?" Tyson demanded.

Kai didn't answer but turned and walked back to his sword in silence.

"Looks like the rumors were true," Mystel muttered. "The boy didn't die in the last battle."

"Brooklyn," Garland muttered worried. The other male was his natural enemy.

Brooklyn merely waved his wings before walking forward.

"You survived," he voiced as King and Queen landed beside Garland. "You've been hiding in the woods this entire time."

Kai held his sword limply beside him staring at the male.

"I know what they call you, Alexander, your fathers name how appropriate. It's probably been a long while since you have been called by your true name hasn't it?"

When he didn't answer Brooklyn moved forward still before stopping.

"Was it out of love or malice for him I wonder," Brooklyn mused. "What was it, Prince Kai?" The name and title was too sweet for words holding mocking undertones.

The male growled looking at Brooklyn. "Say my name again and I'll cut out your throat."

"Try," he muttered low, seductively, for only Kai to hear.

The male ran towards Brooklyn sword raised with a yell. Brooklyn defended himself before pushing off the ground and into the sky with Kai on his heels.

Kai swung left but Brooklyn blocked it with his own sword spinning around to catch him in the waste. Kai was forced to back up so it didn't cut across his chest but through his shirt.

Angry, the bluenette went on the attack but every move he made Brooklyn countered hitting him lightly on the chest, arms and legs.

Kai was tiring but he continued until Brooklyn backed off. Hot tears reached his eyes angrily. Here was his one chance to kill the man and he couldn't land a hit.

Brooklyn smirked. It was time to end this. Moving left and right he angled himself downwards getting as much momentum as he could. Kai couldn't move as he caught the other male ramming the butt of his sword in his chest hearing the ribs crack.

Kai gasped coughing as blood filled his lungs moving out of his mouth. He fell down to the ground and would have crashed had not Brooklyn wrapped him in darkness buffering his fall enough not to kill him.

The male put away his sword and landed retracting his black wings. He wasn't even sweating.

"That was some fight," Crusher laughed. "If that's all the bark the great avian royal blood line could produce it's no wonder they lost the war."

Lex pulled herself out of her captors grasp rushing towards her fallen prince kneeling beside him.

"Tell me he isn't dead," Bryan voiced feeling out of breath. Kai actually existed.

"No," Evenescence spoke. "He's alive."

Lex bit her lip, her hands were tied in front of her so she pulled on the fabric of her dress one more time. It didn't give way so she just pulled it up enough to wipe the blood from his mouth. She wasn't aware of the hot tears running down her face but it didn't matter.

"Hey!" A large male, the one that had captured her came up to the two. "Leave that dead beat alone."

She ignored him.

"Piece of shit," he muttered spitting on Kai's shirt. He pulled up his leg to kick him but Lex was faster. Her wings expanded and she covered his body with her own. The kick landed at the base of her right blue wing and she gasped in pain.

"Damn it," Bryan lunged forward but several larger hands held him back laughing. The teen growled lowly.

"We have a problem," Garland voiced watching as he kicked the woman several times as she shielded the other male.

Brooklyn didn't say a word but walked forward using his shadow to pick up the man and fling him against the boulder, his back broke and as he slumped over.

Lex glanced up at him as his shadow reached hers. He kneeled and picked her up by the arms but she pulled back roughly almost falling again. Standing proud and straight in front of him she spat right into his face.

Brooklyn raised his hand as if to hit her but he just wiped his face clean. He smirked down at here sending shivers down her spine.

"Pick these two up," he pointed to Kai and Wyatt. "We have an appointment with the ferry to meet."


The wolf blooded men were first on the scene and they checked the two human bodies but they were dead. No princes.

Kane and the others arrived the next day with absolutely nothing to tell their superiors. It was clear to see a skirmish had taken place but they were long gone.

Kane dismounted his horse and looked over the barren ground before something dark caught his eye. He kneeled down picking it up, a single black feather.


Me: How was it?

Kai: Lame as shit. I wouldn't have lost.

Me: that's not nice –whacks him upside head-besides you have to loose to begin with or the story reallly can't go on, Okay it can but it would be booring!

Kai: What the hell are you talking about you beg people to give you flames all the time and the moment I do you get pissed.

Me: duh because your opinion doesn't count. Their's on the other hand…

Kai: Fine. –growls- Good bye.

Me: Whatever –hears door slam- don't worry he'll be back. Where else can he go? I have Dranzer...

Please send me a review, like I said his opinion is worth shit but yours, now that's gold.
