Tons of thanks to those cool guys who reviewed! XP: kavbj, or-chan, Ma.anda, Amanita Virosa-Amaranthus, and x.H.A.T.E.x


The sun was about to rise over the distant mountains. Rays of sunshine shone brightly through the busy streets, and it was snowing as always. It was cold, so cold the trees had frozen, and only stood there, blinking in the sunlight.

Ray and Max walked down one of the streets in silence. When they breathed, a white mist appeared in front of them. Ray shiwered, and looked sideways at Max.

"Did he say anything else?" Max shook his head. He kicked a stone with his boot, made it fly metres away before it landed. It'd taken a while to convince the others about what Kai had said. Loki had thought that it was only a regulair dream at first, but he'd mangaed to convince him too.

"But ehm-" Ray hesitated and seemed to be lost in his own thoughts for a while. Max smiled, and just waited for him to return to reality. He soon did. "You know, I don't think we should do anything before he comes back. It just doesn't seems right."

Max nodded. "Yeah, that's what I thought too." He sighed, and lifted his hands, some snowflakes landed on them. He saw them melt, and then tried to warm his hands again. "But, I guess we just have to do what he says... After all," he looked up at Ray. "he's our captain."

"Yeah, he is..."

"Man, I miss the tournaments!" Max groaned. "You know? We used to have so mutch fun, and...well." He frowned, and Ray nodded.

"I do too, Max. And, who knows? Maybe we can do that again?"

"I really hope so. With you, me, Tyson, Kenny and Kai, we'll kick butts!" Ray laughed, and muttered a 'yeah'.

"Do you think the others are planning the atack for tonight?" Max asked, worried. Ray looked down at his shoes, and bit his lip. "I think so. Both Gryff and Loki looked pretty serious this morning."

"Mm. Are you scared?" Max hadn't actually planned that question.

"A bit. You?"

"Yeah."

"Hey, what's that?" Max looked up. A light shone in front of them. Max and Ray looked at each other, and walked closer. They started to run, and tried not to crash into someone. Houses and people flew past as dark lines. The two boys didn't stop before they saw what the light was. They smiled.

"Thousands of candlelights were placed on the ground. Children ran around lightening more candles. Ray and Max walked down to the candles. They shone through the dark morninglight like a millions of suns.

Max bent down, and lifted up one of the candles.

"Max? What are doing?" Ray asked. Max found a new candle, and lightened it with the other he found.

"For Kai," he answered, placing the candle back down. They smiled, as the little flame moved in the wind.

"'When all seems lost, and the dark is covering you, all you have to do, is to make some light.' My mother used to say that," Ray said. Max smiled, and looked up at the now rising sun. It was like a burning phoenix, flying in the air.

"Ehm...Max?"

"Hm?" Max didn't want to wake up to reality just now. The sky was too beautiful.

"Look."

"What?" He still didn't take his eyes away from the sun.

"Max."

"What?!" Max turned angrily towards Ray, who looked down at the ground with wide eyes. Max looked down too, and gasped. A cold wind had blown through the street, and all the candles around them had blown out. They could hear all the children around them groan, and begin all over again. But the two boys looked down at their own light, the only one still burning.

Ray smiled. "A sign, you think?"

"Could be, who knows?"

They watched the light for a while, before walking up the street again. But they continued to throw looks at it over their shoulders.


"So, what are we gonna do?" Tala asked. He, Gryff and Runa were in the kitchen. They all stood watching Tyson, as he was walking around in the room, looking at his unfamiliar surroundings.

"Mmm, that's a good question." Gryff answered, yawning. Runa rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on! We can't take him with us! I mean, look at him!"

Just then, Tyson had started to yell at the chair in front of him. "I see your point." Tala nodded. "But there's gotta be a way to get him back?"

"I would say it's a improvement!" Runa smacked Gryff over his head. "Ow! Runa, you hit like a guy!"

Runa's face grew red from anger. "What's the difference, you cow?!" And then, Runa and Gryff were arguing again.(Add a animefall to Tala there) Tala shook his head. He walked over to Tyson, and sat down in a chair beside him.

"Tyson?" Tyson looked up, but Tala noticed that he was looking at a spot right over his head. "Ehm, Tyson? Could you do me a favour?"

"Sure I would! What?" He smiled brightly, still with his eyes a bit crossed(not a pretty sight, not a pretty sight!)

"Could tou please pass me that vase over there?" Tala pointed at a blue vase standing on a shelf right above his head. Tyson reached out and grabbed the vase. He reached it to Tala, who muttered a 'thanks', and then threw it back right in his head. Runa and Gryff stopped arguing, and turned slowly towards them, both with a shocked look upon their faces.

At first, Tyson just stood there, his eyes wide open in surprise, before he suddenly blinked and looked down at Tala. "Ey. What the fuck did you do that for!"

"Are you okay Tyson?" Runa asked.

"Yeah, just hungry..."

"HE'S BACK!"

"Wait, is that a good thing?"

SMACK!
