Chapter 77: Pride Of The Duelist Part 2

"I play "Card Of Demise!" Kaiba exclaimed. "This allows me to draw until I have three cards in my hand and I send the rest of my hand to the graveyard. Then I switch my Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon back to attack mode! Now my beast attack Red Eyes with White Lightning!" Kaiba commanded. "NO CHANCE! ACTIVATE ROULETTE SPIDER!" Joey cried out in response.

"YES! Go JOEY!" Flora cheered happily as she saw the blonde in action before Bright made his way into the garden nearly out of breath. The Knight paused as he looked around. Just what were those two doing? It looked like some kind of fight. "And I choose your Dragon to attach meh spider too! Now it goes round and round until...AW NUTZ!" Joey's face turned three shades of white as the spider took out his Blue Flamed Swordsmen.

"You were saying?" Kaiba taunted. "You're just lucky that thanks to the card I just played you don't take any damage...but don't worry I plan on teaching you a lesson before this Duel is through..." the CEO smirked. "GAH! DAMN IT! I AINT DONE YET!" Joey spat back. "When meh Swordsmen is destroyed I can summon Flamed Swordsmen ta da field! Attk:1800/Def1600 "Then I'll switch it ta defense mode and end meh turn! Your move Rich Boy!"

Kaiba only scoffed as he drew. "I'll place these two magic cards face down and end my turn," he muttered. "Thanks ta meh Machine Magic Card I can draw from meh deck AND draw another card." Joey grinned. "So I play the Magic card CLAW OF HERMOS! Activitin its special ability! Dis allows old Joey in exchange for sendin meh Red Eyes ta the graveyard I can summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword and equip ta meh Swordsmen ta give him a power boost givin him a total of 6800 Attk points! And now i'll use meh Swordsmen ta attack yer Blue Ey-"

Joey paused as Bright's voice interrupted his attack. "HEY! WHAT'S DA BIG IDEA PAL!?" the blonde cried. "M...My apologies Joey but this can't wait." the Knight apologized before he looked towards Kaiba. "Kaiba! I was sent to inform you that Bloom had to be taken back home to Gardenia." Bright frowned. "What is the meaning of this!? I thought we were waiting for Yugi to bring the physician here..." the CEO growled displeased with being brought such news.

"I'm sorry. But she doesn't appear to be getting any better. We decided that it would be best for her if she went back home where she would be safe. So I'll be sending Yugi to Earth once they arrive. I just wanted to pass on to you the current situation." Bright told Kaiba with a bow. Confliction circulated in the blue-eyed male's eyes as worry ate at him. Joey noticed it but went ahead and recalled his attack bringing Kaiba's LP down to 1000. His Ultimate Dragon destroyed. Dealing a serious blow to the CEO's ego.

{I need to finish this now so that I can go to Bloom...but if I just walk away Wheeler will NEVER let me live this down...damn it...I never thought i'd be put in this kind of situation...} Kaiba bit down on his lip until it bled drawing a card. "I play Fang Of Critias! So I send the trap card I had on the field to the graveyard and in exchange, I can then summon Virus Doom Dragon! Attk:1900/ Def 1500. Then I activate its special ability! Allowing me to destroy all monsters on YOUR side of the field with Attk points of 1500 or higher. So say goodbye to your Swordsmen..." Kaiba spat as Joey gasped as his swordsmen shattered. "NOW MY DRAGON ATTACK HIS LIFE POINTS DIRECTLY!"

"AW HELL!" Joey cried making a face as his LP went down. {Joey 's LP: 900} "NOT COOL!" the blonde exclaimed before he drew as Kaiba ended his turn. "Come on heart of the cards...show me some love!" Joey pleaded. "Thanks ta meh Machine magic card I can destroy YOUR monster this turn!" the blonde exclaimed destroying Kaiba's Virus Doom Dragon. {What an amateur...} Kaiba thought to himself.

"Thanks, Wheeler by destroying my Virus Doom Dragon I can play "Wish Of Final Effort!" allowing me to add my Virus Doom Dragon I can now add its Attk points to my life points," Kaiba smirked. {Kaiba's LP:2900} "I end my turn." "Good! Cuz I'm just gettin warmed up!" Joey spat. "I play "Pot Of Greed" so I draw two cards and discard too from meh hand. I'll place these two magic cards face down and a monster in defense mode face down." Joey muttered before a Number 1 appeared on the screen.

"W-WHAT DA HECK IS DAT!?" Joey cried. "Oh don't worry...you'll learn that soon enough..." Kaiba snickered and drew once Joey ended his turn. "I play "Graceful Charity" So I discard two cards from my hand and draw two new ones as well...I then play "Soul Release" to banish five of the cards in my hand to the graveyard..." the CEO muttered. Joey only raised his brow.

"What da...why would ya do I STUPID thing like dat!?" Joey questioned more than confused. "Because of this...I use the Magic Card "Dimension Fusion which for the cost of 2000 LP {Kaiba:900 LP} both players are allowed to summon as many monsters removed from play as they can have on the field..." Kaiba grinned as he began to summon all five of his monsters. Blue Eyes White Dragon Attk 3000/ Def 2400 Another Blue Eyes and another. Making it three all together. His Luster Dragon 2 Attk 2400/ Def 1400. Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon Attk4800/ Def 1440.

"OH SHIT!" Joey quickly uses his "Scape Goat" magic card to protect his life points. {Aw man! This is NOT good! Once my furballs are gone i'm gonna history! NO! I can't let Kaiba see me sweat! I just gotta hang in there and remember what i'm dueling for!} Joey thought to himself as he turned his gaze towards Flora who only smiled at him. One after the other Kaiba's monsters destroyed his Scape Goats just as he feared. "I lay one magic card face down and end my turn..."It's over Wheeler just accept it..." "Not yet it Aint!" Joey exclaimed as he drew the card he needed.

"OH YEAH! I lay one magic card face down and I play "Hyper Refresh"! Allowin meh ta automatically play da "Take One Chance" magic card doublin meh Life Points 1800! Then I'm able ta use "Meh Roll Of Fate" Magic Card..." Joey muttered as a virtual dice rolled a Five. "JACKPOT! Dat means I can draw up ta five cards and I play "Arduous Decision" So Kaiba your pick from these two cards. If ya pick a monster I can summon it ta the field and if it's not den both cards go ta da graveyard." Joey instructed.

"I know how to play the game Wheeler..." Kaiba rolled his eyes and picked the first card. "YES!" the blonde grinned before Joey summoned "Grappler Of Land Star" to the field. Atk:1000/ Def:500. "Then I can use "Land Star Forces" ta summoned Swordsmen Of Landstar 500 atk/1200 D andBrigadierr Of Land Star!" Atk:900/ Def:1200. Den I'll use "The Warrior Returning Alive" Magic card ta sacrifice all of meh monsters ta summon dis bad boy "Gilfred The Lightning!" Atk:2800/ Def1400 Joey laughed. "TAKE DAT KAIBA!"

Kaiba only scowled. {Damn it...at the rate, this is going we're going to be continuing with Duel for at least a few more hours! I need to end this NOW! I hope Wheeler's prepared himself because I'm not holding back anymore...IT'S TIME FOR AN ALL OUT ASSAULT!} "Sorry ta disappoint ya. But i'll be the one who's winning this duel today! Cuz tanks ta Gilfred's special ability I can destroy ALL of the cards on YOUR field! Pay back's a bitch ain't it!" Joey snickered cockily. "GILFRED ATTACK KAIBA's LIFE POINTS DIRECTLY!"

"That won't work this time! I play my face down Magic Card "Command Of The Silencer!" Kaiba exclaimed negating Joey's direct attack and allowed him to draw one card afterward. "HMPH I place one card face down...and I guess that'll do for now," Joey muttered before a Number 2 flashed on the screen. "SERIOUSLY! I'm freakin out with those numbers appearin!" Joey cringed as Kaiba drew. "That's the LEAST of your worries right now as I play "Monster Reborn! To Bring back My Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon! Now Seek your revenge my Blue Eyes!" Kaiba ordered as Joey gasped the blow taking his Life Points Down. {Joey's LP: 100}

"HANG IN THERE JOEY! YOU CAN DO IT!" Flora cried out from the sidelines. Joey swallowed hard as a beat of sweat trickled down his face. He took a deep breath and drew from his deck once Kaiba's turn ended. "I'll place this Magic card face down...and SURPRISE BABY! TIME WIZARD! Now i'll use Time Wizard ta turn your Blue Eyes into a fossil! GO TIME SPIN!" Joey cried out and watched his Wizard's clock spin. {No Sculls No Sculls No Sculls...} the blonde pleaded. Slowly the spinner came to a halt landing on a castle.

"YEAH! GO TIME WARP!" "Reveal my face down card! Interdimensional Matter Transporter!" Kaiba exclaimed as his Dragon disappeared. "WHA!? WHERE'D IT GO!? WHAT TRICK IS DIS!? KAIBA YOU NO GOOD CHEAT! I CALL FOUL!" the blonde hurled insults at the CEO. "Sorry to break it to you but this card allows my dragon to be removed from play for one turn...your Wizard can't touch it..." "...YA GOTTA BE KIDDIN ME!" Joey cried. "WELL! I CAN STILL ATTACK YA DIRECTLY! GO WIZARD!" Joey spat taking Kaiba's LP down to 400. A small price to pay for protecting his Blue Eyes.

Once Joey's turn ended The Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon reemerged onto the field. The number 3 flashing afterward. "Now My Blue Eyes attack Joey's Life Points Directly!" "FAT CHANCE!" Joey countered revealing his face down Magic card "Silver Dollar" "And thanks to meh Magic Card I dun take any damage! NANANBOOBOO!" Joey stuck his tongue out making face at the CEO. "We'll see who's laughing once this is over..." Kaiba snarled as he placed two magic card face down. "I end my turn."

"And I play meh Red Eyes-Transmigration Magic card ta summon "Lord Of The Red!" Of course, in order ta do so, I have ta remove meh Red-Eyes Black Dragon from play. It has a wopin attack points of 2400 and defense points den I use "Block Attack" to stop ya from touchin meh life points! And tanks ta Lord Of Red's special ability I can destroy one of ya face down cards!" Joey told Kaiba before Kaiba gasped feeling pain shooting through his body letting out a gasp and held his head dropping his cards.

"K-Kaiba!? Wats wrong!?" Joey cried alarmed as the CEO shuddered his body trembling. "B...Bloom..." Kaiba muttered. He could feel all of these emotions flowing through him. The faerie's pain and her fear. He could see visions flickering on and off. It took a moment before Kaiba was able to get a hold of himself. "I'...I'm fine...let's finish this...I don't need your concern..." the CEO snapped. "Yeessh! Fine! See if I ever worry about you again!" Joey huffed. Something was definitely wrong though. Kaiba was normally so calm and collected. But he was starting to lose his cool.

Kaiba bent down and picked up his cards. "As I was sayin Block Attack forces your Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon ta defense mode! Activatin Lord Of The Red's special ability I can destroy your Dragon! GO LORD OF THE RED!" Joey commanded. Kaiba placed his hand on the other face-down card on the field before he closed his eyes. His head blooded with thoughts of Bloom. Slowly the CEO withdrew his hand and watched as his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon was destroyed taking his Life Points down to Zero.

"Did...did dat just really happen...dat means..." Joey paused almost in complete shock. "YOU WON JOEY! YOU REALLY ONE!" Flora cried happily and rushed over to him and embraced him joyfully. "I just KNEW you could do it!" the faerie smiled broadly as the images of the duel monsters faded. "YEAH! I WON! I BEAT KAIBA! OH YEAH! WHO'S DA MAN!" Joey jumped up and down. "Don't let it go to your head, Wheeler...I may have lost this duel but I won't lose the next one...besides I have somewhere I need to be...so I don't have any more time to spare playing around with you...later..." Kaiba muttered before he ran to the edge of the roof's garden and lept down to the ground.

"WOAH!" Joey exclaimed as his eyes widened. "Dat guy has a few screw looses I tells ya!" the blonde exclaimed. "I can't believe I REALLY won! If only Yug coulda been here ta see dis!" Joey grinned before he noticed Kaiba had left his duel disk behind and his deck. "See? He left his cards behind too! Dats just not normal fer da Kaiba I know!" he told Flora as she walked over to him. "...Wait a sec...what's dis..." the blonde paused as his eyes caught a glimpse of one card that remained on Kaiba's Duel Disk. Slowly Joey bent down and picked up the single card flipping it over. His eyes widened as he saw the card.

"Raigenki!? With dis he coulda wiped meh out before I could even touch his Blue Eyes...but why..." Joey went silent before a small smile manifested on the blonde's face. "Joey is everything alright?" Flora asked him softly. "What's wrong?" Joey shook his head softly. "Oh, Nothin Flora...but maybe...just maybe...Kaiba finally understands what is more important dan being number one ta him...I hate ta admit it...but Yug's right...slowly...Kaiba's changin on da inside..." Joey smiled softly.

Kaiba ran with all of the breath he had in his lungs as he headed for the Portal Gateway of Aura. He could feel the emotions and the pain growing stronger. {Hang in there Bloom i'm coming!} Kaiba thought inwardly. With no time to spare the CEO threw himself into the portal only to gasp as lightning struck Kaiba's body throwing him back skidding into the green grass. "WHAT THE HELL!?" Kaiba spat as he slowly got back to his feet. Nothing was going to stop him from entering that portal and rammed it as hard as he could only to get thrown back again.

"JOEY!" Kaiba heard a female's voice nearby. "I see him!" Joey's voice came soon after. "Hold on Kaiba!" Joey exclaimed before he got Kaiba on his back. "He must've tried to get through the portal to see Bloom!" the Faerie concluded as Bright soon came up from behind them. "I should've warned him...no one can go through the Gateways unless you have the keys..." the prince frowned. "It would have mattered Bright. Kaiba's so hard headed he'd have tried anyways. Dats just da kinda person he is." Joey told him.

"Take him inside the castle." Bright commanded. "I need to go let the others know what is going on with Bloom. I'm sure they're all worried." the prince informed them. "Ok, we'll watch Kaiba. I think I have some herbs that I can help with those burns on his body. Could you help me, Joey?" "Sure thing come on. He sure isn't gettin any lighta..." Joey admitted as he helped Flora get Kaiba inside. Bright didn't spare a minute as he went back to the party.

"Well, there's the Birthday Boy. And here we thought that you'd miss your own party." Stella teased Bright. "What's the matter you look kind of pale?" Musa pointed out concerned. "What's wrong Bright?" Layla followed up. "Is it about Bloom?" Techna asked finally. "I'm afraid so." Bright confessed. "Bloom's been taken back to her home on Earth in Gardenia. After a lot of contemplation, we decided that was the best thing to do for her. Right now she's too vulnerable to keep her here...especially with the Wizards possibly nearby..." Bright told everyone.

"WHAT!? YOU SENT HER BACK HOME WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING TO ME!?" Stella cried. "I totally CANNOT believe this!" "Calm down Stella. Bright has a point. It won't do Bloom any good to stay here. Besides she's probably more comfortable being at home with Mike and Vanessa." Layla tried to comfort her. "You're right. We should just trust Yugi to take care of her. She'll get the treatment she needs then she'll be back with us you'll see!" Musa offered a smile. "Well said, Musa." Techna complimented.

"Hmm..." Marik muttered as he narrowed his eyes. "Marik?" Layla questioned. "What is it, dude?" Duke followed. "I sense a darkness...and it's coming from that castle up on top of the hill..." the Tomb Keeper pointed out. "EW! That place gives me the creeps! It's probably crawling with spiders and spider webs!" Stella cringed. "Most likely..." Yuki muttered. "I'm hoping that's ALL it is..." Duke muttered. "I think i'd prefer staying here." Cupid threw in his two cents before Raeger and Roxy returned to the group.

"Roxy! I'm so glad you're ok! We were so worried!" Stella exclaimed. "Yeah. Sorry girls." Roxy apologized. "Where were you?" Techna asked. "I was trying to find a way to find Xuri but the barrier was way too strong and I couldn't even dent it!" Roxy cried. "You're lucky! You could have been hurt!" Bright scolded. "Now Now. Everyone's ok." Raeger tried to deflate his anger. "You're just in time actually. Marik is sensing a dark aura coming from the castle up there." Layla pointed out.

"Really!? Do you think it could be the Wizards Of The Black Circle!?" Roxy questioned as she narrowed her eyes. "We don't know...but I have a feeling we're going to find out sooner or later..." Stella swallowed hard. "Do we EVEN know ANYTHING about that castle?" Duke questioned. "The castle was used by a Blood Mage called Nicodemus...he was the one who created the Philosophers' stone...but he was killed a long time ago...he was Xuri's father...my guess is that if The Wizards are here then they're trying to get a hold of his research materials luckily, they're sealed inside the castle itself," Bright told the party.

"This is turning into a rather sticky situation isn't it?" Cupid mused. "That's putting it mildly." Musa sighed. "Anyways we can't let those notes fall into the hands of the Wizards! I say we go up there and show them that they're not going to get to those documents without a fight!" the faerie huffed. "We'll shake up and knock them OUT!" Layla cheered. "No one messed with us!" "Why do I have a feeling this is going to lead to a WHOLE bunch of trouble?" Stella groaned. "I'll scan the area of the perimeter of the castle...with this new program Yuki helped me put together we'll soon know if anyone's actually in the castle's walls," Techna spoke as she began to scan with her phone.

"Thanks again. I couldn't have done it without you." Techna flashed a smile. "Of course. I didn't mind at all. It was fun to work on a new project." Yuki offered a smile of his own as he looked around. "Is everything alright Yuki?" Raeger asked. "...I think so...I was just looking for Amourette...my little sister...I have to admit that after what happened at Dawnshire...i'm concerned..." "Did she have a connection to anyone there?" Yuki nodded softly. "She was in love with Dawnshire's Lord...Crymson..." "Oh, the poor girl...she must so heartbroken..." Roxy frowned before Bright spoke up. "I'm going ahead..." he muttered before he started up the hill.

"Just a few more seconds...let's see...oh no this is not good. It looks like Ogron and his men ARE there and there's also someone else but I can't tell who..." Techna made a face troubled. "COME ON GIRLS! LET'S GO! WE HAVE TO WARN BRIGHT!" Stella exclaimed before they all followed him. "We better follow them!" Raeger exclaimed before they followed after the girls up to the castle.

Within the castle's walls, Ogron and the Wizards along with Bakura broke upon the door and entered the basement. "It would seem most everyone prefers to bury their deepest darkest secrets underground..." Bakura muttered. "We've been through most of the castle already. It's mostly aged to hell. Just how are we going to find what we're looking for!?" Gantlos questioned. "Wat if it's already gone?" Dumon followed. "Dis place seems ancient." "I have to agree for once." Anagan continued. "You morons...we're here BECAUSE its ancient...the man in the tavern told us that the research material lies in this castle...and what better place for one to hide such a taboo art as Blood magic underground..." Orgron muttered. Slowly they descended down the stairs creaking with each movement. Finally, the party came upon a blood seal situated in the middle of the floor red shards scattered about at the Wizards' feet.

Above on the first floor, Amourette sat in a chair looking at a red shard. One of a few she found scattered near the fountain. The answer had to be there somewhere. Who killed her beloved and the other vampires. Just how many would have to die in order for all of this madness to come to an end?! Amourette gasped as she heard Bright's voice echo from below. Quickly Amourette hid the shard and ran downwards only to find the prince standing with his blade in hand directing it at a bunch of men wearing black.

"At long last, the brave young heroic prince finally shows his face. I must say I was getting rather tired of waiting..." Ogron mused. Bright narrowed his eyes. "It was you wasn't it? The ones who turned into me and used that to send Xuri to Requiem..." the blonde snarled. "Yes...and it was quite entertaining...you should've seen the look of utter fear on his face...the pain of being betrayed by his best friend...I can't tell you how much I enjoyed watching him futily cry out...begging for you to stop..." Bakura taunted as the rage build up in Bright beyond no return. "You...YOU BASTARD!" Bright screamed as tears flooded his eyes and charged right towards the ghoul.

"...Mortals...they're so easy to manipulate...GO MY GHOST CONSUME THE PRINCE'S SOUL!" Bakura commanded as he summoned a spirit to fly into Bright's body. Bright gasped as fought against the spell trying to resist being taken over. But it was but in vain as his eyes turned from a beautiful blue to a blood red. Orgron laughed. "Ah! You're right it is VERY amusing...but fun all the same!" Orgron admitted with a grin. "BRIGHT!" Amourette cried out in horror before she gasped covered her mouth. "Well hello what do we have HERE!?" the Wizards grinned before he used his powers to pull the small blunette out from the shadows.

"Hehe my she's a cute one eh...I wonda who this little one belongs to." Dumon questioned as the Wizards laughed. "W-WHAT DID YOU DO TO BRIGHT!?" Amourette demanded to know. "Oh look! The little girl has claws..." Anagan snickered. "What should we do with her Ogron?" Gantlos questioned. "I think she'll make for a fine hostage wouldn't you agree?" Ogron preposed before the other party arrived Orgron holding her tightly to his chest. "AMOURETTE!" Yuki's voice came. "BROTHER!" Amourette cried out in return. "YOU LET HER GO NOW OGRON!" Techna snarled as the girls readied their blasts. "GIRLS WAIT!" Roxy cried as Bright stood in front of the Wizards Of The Black Circle.

"Look at Bright's eyes! Something's not right!" Duke pointed out. "Bakura's possessed his body..." Marik hissed through his teeth. "So what do we do!? We attack we'll end up hurting Bright! But if we don't they'll get away!" Stella cried out. "We have to do SOMETHING!" Layla argued as she narrowed her eyes. "And what about Amourette!? Orgron has her!" Techna questioned. "The odds are against us..." "COWARDS!" Roxy spat as Raeger stepped forward.

"BRIGHT! SNAP OUT OF IT! THIS ISN"T YOU!" The Guild Master cried out to him. "I know you don't want this! Xuri wouldn't want this! You can't let them win! You were the one who wanted to fight these bastards! FIGHT BRIGHT FIGHT THEM!" Raeger pleaded. Bright struggled hearing Raeger's voice. "That's enough out of you!" Gantlos spat and sent a sonic wave attack at Raeger slamming him into the wall. "RAEGER!"Roxy cried out before she snarled pissed. "Ho-HOW DARE YOU HURT HIM! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY!" "Are you SURE about that?" Orgron mused as he squeezed Amourette making her cry out in pain.

"MOLTEN LAVA FIREBALL!" Joey spat seperating the space between the party and the Wizards with a firewall. The shock and the smoke was just enough to cause the enemy to lose their concentration. "That's enough! We're leaving!" Ogron ordered and threw Amourette down all of them disappearing. Quickly Joey grabbed Amourette and Bright flying with his new dragon wings his hair black and red again. Carefully he placed them down on the other side.

"Phew..." Joey sighed relief as he wiped the sweat from his brow. Slowly the fire died out. Yuki hurrying over to Amourette and Roxy to Raeger. Using all of their combined powers the Winx teleported everyone into the castle. "EVERYONE!" Flora cried as she hurried over to the party suddenly appearing out of nowhere. "...Ugh...i'm still choking on all that smoke...you know you could have used something OTHER than fire? We could have been burned up along with the Wizards!" Stella scolded.

"Eh...sorry...but I really wasn't sure what ta do back dare...you guys seemed like ya's were in real trouble..." Joey apologized. "Actually i'm not sure what would have happened if Joey hadn't stepped in...Ogron had us cornered..." Techna frowned. "At least we managed to get away ok. Still, I didn't expect THAT to come from Joey of all people!" Duke exclaimed. "HEY!" Joey exclaimed as he twitched his eye. "I'm just glad that you're all ok..." Flora sighed relief. Amourette groaned as she opened her eyes coughing some. "Amourette! Are you alright!?" Yuki asked. "I think so..." the bluenette murmured softly.

"Thank the Phoenix...why were you in the castle all by yourself to begin with?" "...I was trying to figure out what happened at Dawnshire...the red shards were by the fountain and I found some here...so I thought that I could help you..." Amourette barely uttered before Yuki hugged her. "Don't ever scare me like that again! I thought I was to lose you..." he cried. "...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Amourette wept as she held him back. Bright slowly stirred as his eyes returned to normal.

"...What...happened?" he questioned and slowly sat up holding his head. He gasped as he saw Raeger unconscious hurt. "RAEGER!" Bright cried and hurried over to him as Roxy pleaded for Flora to help her as she used a towel to stop the bleeding from the wound inflicted upon his back. "FLORA PLEASE COME QUICK!" Roxy sobbed as Flora made her way over with medicine. "I think I stopped the bleeding but he just won't wake up..." the faerie wept as tears flowed down her face.

Dream Sequence

Raeger could hear a voice calling out to him. The Guild Master could feel a strong aura surrounding him. An intense power like one he'd never witnessed before. All around him was colored fire. Beautiful illuminating colors made up of the rainbow. Gems rained down all colors of the universe. Slowly a large creature manifested before him engulfed in the fire. Yet reaching out the flames themselves were not hot to the touch. From just a single breath a satin bag appeared in Raeger's hand. "...What are these?" Raeger asked the creature. {A gift...use them to relight the flame which cannot conform to this world...I entrust this gift to you...find the Phoenix's Ashes...and restore the light of hope to this world and many others...}
