"Which way do we go from here? Tell me, or....What!! How is this possible? It is alright since they are here, return thru the portal and make sure that you take those people down, take the Time General with you and make sure that they don't get in your way." Said Lucrecia.

"Who is she talking too? Oh, yeah she has the ability to make connection with others to communicate, but who is she talking too? Whatever she is talking about it doesn't sound good." Thought Sarala to herself.

Lucrecia turned to Sarala and gave her an empty smile.

"So deary are you going to tell me?"

Sarala looked down thinking on what she should do.

"I should tell her where it is it may buy the others time, so that they may be able to devise a plan to take her down, but I have to tell her the truth because it feels that she can see into my soul, and know what is truth and lies." Thought Sarala.

Lucrecia's face frowned with frustration, she raised her hand and slapped Sarala.

"This is no time to be day dreaming tell me where it is!" Yelled Lucrecia.

"The Crystal is at the end of this cave, as soon as we get there I'll get you your Crystal." Said Sarala with a soft voice.

The group traveled to the end of the cave. There Lucrecia walked Sarala to the Crystal. The Cave was brightly illuminated.

"Go Sarala, retrieve that Crystal for you ol' pal." said Lucrecia as she added an evil laugh at the end.

Sarala walked slowly to the crystal, she was mesmorized by the light of the crystal.

"It is so lovely, its warm glow sooths my pains. I can't believe that we are going to hand this over to Lucrecia, but for now this is the only thing we can do. She has people in position to destroy everything if I deny her this crystal, and not even the other can do anything to stop everything all at once." whispered Sarala to herself.

She pulled the Crystal out of the pedestal, and in her mind she had a vision of Shilms body in a village of magic people. Sarala fell to her knees and offered a prayer.

"Please help me protect my people, I cannot allow them to suffer, I cannot allow others to suffer...what do I do?" Sarala began to cry intensly

A voice came to her and spoke softly to her heart.

"Allow the witch to have the Crystal...you must get your people off this planet. Get them to the world that belongs to the one you call Erk, there they shall be safe, and they cannot be threatened. Then you shall go in search of the other Crystals on a different planet, then and only then will you have the power to defeat the darkness, this world may fade, but it is its fate. You know that you aren't originally from here, return home...return home...return home." said the voice as it faded.

"ERK!!! get everyone off of this planet, it will be destroyed as soon as I give Lucrecia this Crystal, but we will have to go to my ancestors home to find the power to finaly defeat Lucrecia, as long as we make her believe that she has won, she won't go looking for us, and then we can go retreive the power of my ancestors, and defeat Lucrecia." Said Sarala to Erk through the mental link as she walked towards Lucrecia.

"Here is the Crystal, take it and keep you word let my family, and my people go free and unharmed." Said Sarala sternly to Lucrecia.

"Hmmm... lets do this, I'll let your parent go free, and um... I'll leave you here, I think that is fair don't you think?" Said Lucrecia as she tested the Crystals power, and shot a ball of darkness toward Sarala.

Sarala flew across the way, and crashed into the wall, the impact was so hard that darkness overcame her and she passed out.

"Ha ha ha ha...this is amazing. I can do anything...and that wasn't even one percent of my new found power! Sarala, why would I harm those that shall be my servants? You were a fool to had thought you could of done anything to stop me. It was inevetable, your family was destined to fall to the darkness. Have a nice long nap Princess."

Lucrecia and her group left the cave, and left Sarala in the cold damp darkness of the cave.

In a village secluded from danger resided a group of people that had the ancient art of magic. There was a small group that was fishing two weeks ago. They found a body floating down the river, they noticed that its life force was drained, but they noticed that there was just enough to keep the body alive long enough, until his spirit could reunited. A young woman from the tribe went out to find the young man's lost spirit.

Just as Lucrecias group left the dark and dankness of the cave a mystery person came out of the shadows and saw saralas limp body on the ground. He saw how pathetic her little body was as he saw what the blast of darkness had done to her. As she lay on the ground he contemplated if he should help her or not. He then was startled because Sarala started to cough.
"*cough*......*cough*.......uhhh my head" sarala said.
"Are you alright?" the mysterious warrior anwsered.
"Yah I think I will be ok but I don't think I can move....*cough*.... who are you?" sarala said faintly.
"Just call me the shadow for this where I reside my real name has no importance to me" responded shadow.
"Because could you tell me my name.........."

(OOC: So, are we on Sarala's/ Tarak's/Shilm's world, or another one?)

[rr339]

OCC: I believe that you are back in Tarak's world. It is just in an area that you haven't been in before, so I believe that is where the confusion may be coming from.

Lucrecia and her group were on there way back to their castle. Lucrecia was deeply entranced by the Crystals beauty.

"So much power...I can do anything...I don't need this place." though Lucrecia.

Temor looked at Lucrecia look intesly into the Crystal and asked.

"My love are you alright? Aren't you happy that we now have the Crystal? So....how does it feel?"

"It is a feeling that is far superior to anything that you may have ever felt." said Lucrecia as she looked into the Crystal.

Lucrecia's hands began to emit dark energy and the Crystal began to absorb the darkness, and the evil intention of Lucrecia. The Crystal began to float out of the hands of Lucrecia. Temor began to look at Lucrecia and the Crystal with great fear. At the moment when the Crystal began to float all of the light in the solar system was drained by the Crystal, there was a great fear upon the land.

"Lucrecia!!! what have we done? This Crystal is dranning the light and harnesting its power!" said Temor with a trebling voice.

"Of course you fool! This is my power, I will become all powerful, and I shall have control of the whole Universe!" yelled Lucrecia towards the sky.

The Crystal began to glow, it remain in the air for only a split second before went flying toward Lucrecia's forehead. When it came crashing to her forehead the Crystal combined with her, and it released all of the energy with in her. There was a big force released upon the earth that everyone was pushed to the ground, and the light returned to the solar system. Lucrecia's group were many yards away from the levatating Lucrecia.

"Meet me at the castle, I have many great plans for this power, and I don' have the patience to wait too long." Said Lucrecia with an ominous voice.

Lucrecia then disappeared from the view of Temor and her Henchmen.

[joe]

As Lucrecia was succoming the world to eternal darkness Shadow and Sarala were unaware of this dreadful fate. Infact Sarala was still unaware of what her name was.
"What do you mean you don't know what your name is?....hmmm it must of been the dark energy that came from that evil womans hands" shadow said. As he was pondering on what to do he remembered a special herb that restored any memory that has been lost, by attacks that gave you amnesia. Since in his warrior training he was trained to always have all the neccesary herbs for any situation he pulled it out of his bag.... the talmon herb. He also had a saphire potion from mount grongen that would heal any physical ailment from a broken arm to a fractured skull. Shadow then gave the two medcines mixed together to her and said, "here eat this quickly I can sense a great evil rising I need you at full strength". She did as she was told and was instantly healed.
"Who are you?" Sarala asked. Since Sarala now had her memories restored she had no recolection of meeting Shadow.
He replied, "It's Shadow now come quickly!"
Sarala now at full strength got up fast and followed Shadow out of the cave.
All that Shadow could think of was of what he was to do of this great evil he now detected. This new force that he detected worried him because he had not detected a evil of such great magnitude ever in his life......

Erk blinked at he felt a sudden flux in energy. It seemed almost as though the power of light were being drained. Shilm/Kor collapsed to the ground, his energy gone. Erk struggled to stay upright, and called upon his fire power to strengthen him. Finally the feeling passed, and light returned. Though it seemed . . . different. Tainted.
Erk looked around where they were. They seemed to have appeared next to a small villiage. A few of the people were even now coming towards them.
"Oh empowered ones, come with us."
Erk looked at the others, then turned and followed the villiagers. The led them into a small hut with a table. Lying on the table, worn with time and exposure to the weather and elements, was Shilm's body.
"No way."
Shilm/Kor walked over to the body and placed his hand on the forehead of Shilm's body.
"Erk, come help me."
Erk walked over and placed his hand on Shilm/Kor's and focused his power. The body and Shilm/Kor began to glow, and then suddenly a burst of light filled the room. Kor toppled over, unconscious. Tarak reached down and picked him up, and Erk looked at Shilm's body. The eyelids fluttered, then opened.
"I'm back."
Shilm hopped off the table, moving towards the door. His body had been restored to it's former condition, the power of light having repaired the damage done.
"We must move quickly if we are to save Sarala and this planet. Even now we may be too late to save this planet. Sarala is the key. We must find Sarala."

[rr339]

Shilm looked at the group standing in amazement.

"I know that my passing may of been something very difficult, but your hope has give you the comfort of a future." Said Shilm

Shilm tried to create a sword of light, but he noticed that he had to concentrate more than usual. When he was able to create the sword he noticed that there was a purple tint to the light.

"Erk...quickly show me the light that you wield." said Shilm with great concern.

Erk struggled to call forth his light power, but when he finally created a ball of light he noticed that it had a purple color.

"What is going on, Shilm? Why is it so difficult for us to use the power of light?" asked Erk with great worry.

"This doesn' t look good. If you can't use the power of light how will you ever be able to take down the darkness?" Stated Doelcm.

Shilm looked in to the eyes of everyone in the room and said.

"Well the light has been tainted by the dark desires of the Queen...There isn't much that we can do here...we need to go find the planet of our ancestor and find the Crystals that will empowers us enough to be able to completly restore our light power abilities. In these conditions we are no match for Lucrecia, and with our difficulty to use the power of light we won't be a match for the Generals. Erk, Doelcm, Kor, Emiko your powers are still usuable so we will rely on you to defend Sarala, and myself. Erk we need you to find Sarala...I hope that it isn't too late." Said Shilm with a soft voice.

Doelcm looked at Shilm

"Don't worry we will find Sarala and I'll be able to treat her if there is any problems. We have many materials that will help us on our journey." Said Doelcm in a caring voice.

[The Honourable Ninja-san]

"Erk, you would use your mental link to find Sarala," Tarak suggested.
"I'm way ahead of you." Erk already had his eyes closed, searching for Sarala.
Turning to Shilm, Tarak asked, "So how are we going to find these crystals?"
"I do not know. Hopefully there will be people on my ancestral planet who will tell us."
Erk finished his conversation with Sarala, and addressed the group. "Sarala is near the Mountains of Jomm. As you all might have guessed, Lucrecia has the Crystal."
Tarak turned to one of the villagers, who was tidying up the bed Shilm had been laying on. "Where are we in relation to the Mountains of Jomm?"
The villager informed him that they were not far at all, only a day or so of travel. After thanking the villagers for helping Shilm, the group set off.

[joe]

As Shadow and Sarala left the cave Shadow realized that they needed to get to this great evil as soon as possible. Realizing this Shadow remembered the amulet that the elders of Grongen gave him. Shadow then raised his hand and motioned for Sarala to stop. Shadow then pulled out the amulet from his bag, raised it up to the sky and muttered a few grongen phrases untill his amulet turned a brilliant purple. Sarala then was shocked when all of the sudden a huge black condor came flying from the horizon. As it landed Shadow walked over and then stroked the condor on his head. Shadow then said to Sarala, "come here Sarala and stroke him on his head so he trusts you". Sarala did as she was told and stroked the giant condor. Shadow then said, "let's go I fear at what evil Lutcretcia will do"
Sarala quickly responded and said "No I can sense Erk wanting for me to go to him.........I think it is something about Shilm.....but it couldn't be.....we must go to Erk I feel he has a plan for us".
Shadow then said with urgency "ALIRIGHT lets just get going!"
They both then got on the condor and went flashing into the distance with the worry of what they would do of the evil Lucretcia had created........

[Jason]

"Sarala is on her way."
Erk opened his eyes and looked at the others.
"Strangly enough, she says to keep our eyes on the sky. She'll meet us . . . at the villiage where we originally met."
"That's not too far from here," said Shilm. "Let's get going."
The group set out again, this time heading for the place where all this had began, and where it seemed it would end, at least for them on this world.
As they travelled, Erk sunk into a rather somber mood. He walked out in front of the group, quiet and thinking. The others wondered what was going on with him, but left him alone. As they stopped for the night, Erk wandered a distance away and sat down on a rock. He stared out into the darkness, thinking. His shoulders sagged and his head dropped, and there in the darkness, along, he cried.

[Lady Jillith]

Hey Erk? Are you okay? Sarala's voice came into Erk's mind. I can tell that you're sad. When he didn't answer, Sarala continued, Don't worry. It'll be alright; we just need to find the Crystals and then we can defeat Lucrecia.
We'll be there soon. Shadow and I are a long ways away but this bird is fast.
Don't worry, Erk. It will be okay.

[rr339]

At her castle, Lucrecia decides on what she will do next.

"I grow tire of this place. I know I'll pay Erk's world a visit and have my fun there, and see what they have to offer, for this planet, it is no more use to me, it's beauty has already been destroy."

Lucrecia raised her hands up, and dark energy was released from her hands that flowed up towards space. The energy began to collect matter. Lucrecia's planning on having the mass come crashing on the planet to destroy it utterly.

"In three days this planet shall be no more! ha ha ha ha ha." Said Lucrecia with an insane voice.

Lucrecia opened portal near all of her generals and soldier; and sent a telepathic message to all stating " We leave this planer for a more favorable one, enter the portals and we shall leave this planet to die."

[joe]

As Shadow and Sarala continued there flight Shadow felt something was wrong because he sensed evil growing sronger in Lucrecias heart. Then all of the sudden the evil from her that he sensed became so intense that Shadows head began to throb to the point that he could not consintrate. Sarala noticed that Shadow seemed to becoming weak and asked, " what is wrong Shadow?"
"Lucretcia she is becoming so stro......" He said struggingly and then all the sudden Shadow blacked out from the intense evil he sensed and fell off the condor. Shadow started falling into the darkness below maybe to his doom.....

[Jason]

'Shadow!'
Sarala's yell echoed through the link she shared with Erk, and he flinched at the power of it.
'What's going on?!'
'Shadow just fell off the condor!'
'Can you get to him?'
'I don't know . . . '
'Try a light web.'
'A what?'
'Try making a net out of light to catch him with.'
'Okay.'
Sarala focused her strength, trying as hard as she could. Down below, a net of light began to form, but it was wavery and patchy.
'I don't have the strength.'
'Here.'
Erk poured energy into the link they shared, increasing the power available to hold the light web together. The light solidified and became complete, just as Shadow hit it. It sagged under his weight, slowing his fall until he came to a full stop. The condor circled down to the web of light, then continued in a circle around it. Sarala, using Erk's strength, had the light lift Shadow up and onto the condor and secure him to it.
'There. He's safe.'
'Good. Hurry. We haven't much time.'
'We're on our way.'
'Okay.'
Then Erk collapsed, exhausted.
