Dragon's Bane

[Leo]

I walked past the rows of unhealthy people. Hospitals always made me sick...reminded me of Leo for some reason. I never figured out why. He had been gone for so long now, almost a year and a half...and I still missed him. But everyone was right, Gwen too, even Kasumi was right...

He was gone, and there was nothing I could have done, not even the second time. He died twice to save me, and the second time...the second time...I found myself crying as I walked. I shook the tears away and kept walking. Slowly my resolve came back and I walked to the bathroom, dried my tears and stared at myself in the mirror.

23 years old, and still crying. Look what I had been reduced to...a bubbling, crying, infant. I had to find that resolve I used to have before I met Leo...but he...removed that from me the second he died, the second he met me...

"...needs you..."

"Who's there?" I said looking around...

"...valuable...need..."

"I need some fresh air..."

"Stop."

My body wouldn't obey my commands.

"What the hell..."

Darkness swirled around me in the room and I was submerged in darkness...a cloaked figure stood in front of me.

"You will get it." he said, his voice reaking of evil.

"You will find I do not listen to orders...you will find I disobey them on a regular basis."

"Then you defy a god..."

"You are no god...you wish you were a god..."

"SILENCE!" he said pointing a shadowed finger at me. My mouth would no longer obey me, but it would in terms of smiling. "Wipe that smile off your face mortal. You will get the Dragon's Bane for me...

"...or Joshua dies."

I was thrown out of the shadow and into the bathroom wall and I looked up to what had just happened. Whatever was there was gone. The tile that I had flown into was shattered and broken, a dent was in the wall where I was just thrown. I stumbled to my feet, holding on to the wall as I did so. The only thing I could think of was getting that damned crystal and smashing it with my ships weapons, but something lingered at the back of my mind...

"...or Joshua dies."

"That will not happen." I said stomping off towards my ship. It's time I did a little reasearch on the Five and Two, and found out which god might help me...or at least gave me a hint.

...I would not let Joshua die.

You fear oblivion. Yet you forget. The universe remembers every atom of your being. Even dust hums your name in the dark.
