(OOC: I have a question, when school starts, will anybody have time to post at Io II? If not, will you end the story or just leave it? I'm just asking cause I have some ideas for the story and want to know if I should plan ahead.)

Icefall looks down at the man kneeled before her.

No. I will not kill you. That is not the way things should be done.

She hands the man back his sword and sheathes her own.

It would probably be best for you to leave camp now. If you'll excuse me, I have things to attend to.

Icefall slowly walks off back towards the main part of camp..

The man known as Gerrard walks up to the northern entrance of the DSM camp. He takes a moment of concentration to sense the location of Dranick.

::Dranick....can you hear me? I'm coming.....I'm in camp ri--Kaeden? What the? What is he doing here?::

He walks to the western side of the central square of the camp. Gerrard could vaguely see the silhouette of Kaeden sitting down in a nearby tent. He passes Kaeden and can be seen through hte tent's opening by him. Gerrard bursts into a little of a jog towards Dranick's location. He passes other DSM's by as he heads as he starts running to the main tent.

<Dranick paces in front of the main tent, thinking to himself.> ::Hmm.... I can not tell him or he will never even consider it. I will have to-:: <Dranick notices Gerrard running up in the corner of his eyes. He seems quite angry. Dranick turns to face Gerrard and waits.>

Icefall finds her way to the council's tent and enters it without waiting to be permited in. She sees the council sitting at their table, talking amongst themselves. Ashmere is the first to notice the star mage's arrival and clears her throat to get the others' attention. Icefall gives a short nod to each of the councilmen.

Teferi: ''Icefall. I take it that the ninja has been dealt with?''

Yes, but not before we lost some allies. Four solars, two star mages.

They all lower their heads in silence for a moment.

The man's village was attacked by the dark ones, as was his brother, who he found in our camp. He attacked us, thinking we were the ones who killed him.

Jered: ''He is being restrained and kept for questioning, isnt he?''

Icefall shakes her head.

He has been through enough as is. I asked him to leave camp though.

Raen: ''I dont like all this. Too much at once, too much.''

Icefall looks at Raen's worried expression.

Someone got past the alarms, didnt they?

Raen lowers her head.

Teferi: ''Raen believes that someone did, but isnt sure if they were comming into camp or leaving.''

And that is why the barrier should have stayed up, whether people were getting through or not.

Teferi: ''Icefall...''

Jered: ''We had to do it.''

And now six people are dead for it. Anyways, has anyone seen that Gerrard fellow?

All of the councilmen shake their heads.

Teferi: ''He seems to be an odd one.''

Ashmere: ''He seemed nice enough to me. He gave us those scrolls and so forth.''

Icefall frowns.

There is something about him that irks me too. I just can't put my finger on it. Can I go look at those scrolls he gave you?

Ashmere stands up.

Ashmere: ''Okay. I'll go and get them.''

Shiro watches as Icefall returns to the tent. He gets up and sheaths his katana.

There's something intriging about that woman. I have a feeling we will meet again...

Shiro walked up to his dead brother's body. He kneeled next to it.

Shinji... My little brother... Why didn't you stay at Rokkaku? Why did you leave Rokkaku? Look what happened because of you're actions. You're dead. You've always been rash. Never thinking before acting...

Shiro picked up Shinji's body.

... Then again, so have I. Look what I've done, brother. I've killed innocent people. And for what? To avenge you? They said they didn't kill you. I too, left Rokkaku when the villagers needed me. Why do we do such things, brother? It seems to run in our family. It is as if it's a family curse...

Shiro carried his brother out of camp and toward Rokkaku.

Come brother, let's go home.

After 45 minutes of walking, Shiro finally reaches Rokkaku. It has been four yars since Shiro has left Rokkaku.

Home.... You've done well for this village, Shinji. It is clearly larger.

The village has indeed grown. But the recent attack has destroyed part of the village. Smokes rise high. The stench of death fills the air. The attack was over.

It seems our army won. But at a great cost.

Shiro continues toward the village entrance. As he nears the entrances, he hears people shouting out orders to one another. The reconstuction begins. One of the villager sees Shiro.

Villager #1: Look! Over there! Somebody's coming!

The villagers runs toward Shiro. Just as they arrived, Shiro collapse to the ground, exhausted from the ordeal.

Villager #2: You there, are you hurt?
Villager #1: Look, he's carrying somebody! Let's help the stranger.

The villagers agreed and offered to carry Shinji's body. While another helped Shiro, who has passed out. The villagers carried Shiro and Shinji's body to the village hospital. Once they reach the village hospital, they placed Shinji's body on one of the bed.

Doctor: My goodness! What happened to him? He's covered in blood!
Villager #1: This man brought him in.

The villager was refering to Shiro.

Docter: I see, I'll take care of this one while the nurse watches over that ninja.

One of the nurse and a villager helped Shiro to another bed. The docter cleaned Shinji's face. The doctor recognized Shinji's face.

Doctor: ...!! Th--this is... Shinji Takemura!
Villager #2: What?!

The villagers surrounded Shinji's bed. Inded, it was Shinji Takemura, the current prince!

Villager #2: P--prince Shinji-san! Doctor, is his majesty alive?
Doctor: I don't think so. There's a huge gash on his head. Looks like he was attacked while he was missing.
Villager #1: Wait! Do you think this ninja killed our prince?
Villager #2: I don't think so. Why would he be here, then?
Doctor: Remove his mask. Let's see who he is.

One of the villager carefully removed Shiro's mask.

Doctor: ...!! What's this?
Villager #1: Huh? Isn't he... Shiro?!
Villager #2: It can't be! Didn't he dissappear 4 years ago, after our last attack?
Doctor: Yes! It's Shiro! He must've heard found him! Quick! Help me get his suit off, I must tend Shiro-san's wound!

The villagers quickly assisted the doctor, her tended his wound. It has been 4 long years since the true prince has dissappeared. Now he's back.

As Gerrard walks into the tent, he glows.....his form is changed to that of a Gloomy young man that bears dark robes of black and crimson. He stops to a stroll and walks up to Dranick with his arms behind him.

''Why.....? Why didn't you wait for me? I was on the verge of bringing a whole group of our enemies to an ambush. Kaeden.....just him? What is your ties to this....insulent cruel... You were impatient....thats not like you. You called only for him without telling me. How can this moon mage be so important to us. It doesn't appear as if you are to hold him ransom or send his body as a threat...Who is he?''

Dranick: ''You are merely my apprentice. You do what I order you to do, and you do not question my orders or motives. If you do not like it, then leave.''

''Hmmmph....''
::I must contemplate these turn of events...::
''I'm sorry Dranick. I apologize for questioning your orders.''
::I follow you, do everything for you and this is how you treat me...::
''I'll be going now....call me when you need me...I'll be in camp.''

He walks out of the tent and looks around. ''Gerrard'' walks to the central square of the camp and looks around. The man remembers the location of Kaeden and thinks to himself for a minute.

''Heh...''

''Gerrard'' walks into the tent smiling....

''Hello Kaeden.''
