Anna:Yes, I'm alright.You can come in.

Selenia: *comes in* You look beautiful ^_^

Anna:Thanks.(weak smiles)

Selenia: Now, Don't be nervous. It's been awhile since there was a princess for the Sun. You still aren't old enough, But! (smiles, then takes out a silver tiara (similiar to Selenia's) and puts it perfectly on Anna's head) This queen can change the rules! ^_^

Anna:Thanks Selenia,I feel a bit better.(Hugs her)I just hope I can live up to being princess.

(With J, Sander and Oliver...)

Oliver:[traning by using his combat techniques against a training dummy]

Sander [looks at the castle from atop of the cliff; with a British accent] So I guess my family was right. Royalty do have their heir to the throne. [sighs] Guess I was retired, and I passed my throne to my bloke, Gabriel.

J:[looking at the castle (where Anna is) as well]

(back at the castle)

Queen Selenia: Well, I'd do anything for the princess of the Sun. ^_^ But a reminder, Im not done with being the Queen around here! >:3

Anna:(Smiles)I know,I'm just gald being who I am right now.

(knocks on the door)

Queen Selenia: Hm?

???:Anna,Selenia.Everyones waiting.

Anna:Okay Kalis,we'll be out in a few minutes.

(Back with J, Oliver and Sander...)

J:I think we should check it out. [carefully slides down from the cliff as he heads to the castle]

Sander:Yeah. [to Oliver] Oliver, you coming?

(Oliver is still training, not paying attention to Sander)

Sander:...I'll take that as a no then. [slides down the cliff with J]

(Both J and Sander slides all the way down onto the ground and they can see the castle, where Anna is, close by)

J:[hides in a bush to avoid detection fromt he guards]

Sander: [looks at J] Why are you hiding, mate? You can Chaos Control yourself inside.

J:Nothing comes out easy, 'cause there's more people inside, Sander.

Sander:[chuckles] You're just being shy, J. While you just stay here and hide your lot, I'm coming up with a plan.

J:Whatever.

(At the castle)

Anna:Come on Selenia,our guest are waiting for us.

Queen Selenia: Okay okay! ^_^

(In the throne room with all the guest waiting,the announcer sees Selenia and Anna)

Announcer:Noble guest,make way for Queen Selenia and Princess Anna!

(Everyone bows to them both as they went to their seats)

Queen Selenia: We have two Most honored Visitors! Please welcome two retired Queens that have returned!

Anna:Huh?(Trys to remain calm)

Noble Six:I think something bad's gonna happen any moment now...

Irehana and Shirenya:Thank you for the warm welcome ^_^

Audience:*gaze a them with surprise, then claps*

Queen Selenia:My mother has finally returned from her long death! Please consider her as the heir as well!

Queen Selenia:And thank you to my Grandmother who taken cared of me when I was young...*sniff*

Iriehana:Thank you, Dear...*bows*

Anna:Its an honor to meet my aunt and grandmother for the first time,

Noble Six:... *stops to look at Selenia and Anna and resumes leaving*

(Back with Snader and J, Sander finishes his plan (or so he calls it))

Sander:J, come with me. [walks off to Anna's castle]

J:Uhhh okay... [follows Sander]

(The two walks inside. In the castle)

Anna:Selenia told me so much about you two.

Shirenya:It's been awhile living again ^_^

Iriehana:My granddaughter told me about you too dear ^_^

Anna:(Smiles and tears up a little)If only my mother and brother had been here to see you two...Selenia..(Hugs her and cries)

(Back with Sander and J inside the castle...)

J:So who are we looking for?

Sander:Let's find out soon enough, mate.

J:[sarcastic] I can hardly wait.

(In the throne room eveyone starts dancing and talking)

Sander:[smirks at J] I told ya, mate.

J:Yeah.There's a lot of people inside. Shame Oliver's missing it out.

Sander:He's a mercenary, wha'd you expect?

Anna:(Anna walks in the crowd,and some boys ask her to dance with them,making her blush,then she hears a violin playing)Huh?

(in the crowd thier was a white hedgehog playing the violin skillfully and having a laugh, his smile was radiant)

Anna:Who's that?(Walks over to see him)Hello,what's your name?.(Smiles)

???:*still playing* Memphis at your service! *grins*

Selenia:Well well! Hi memphis ^_^

Memphis:Hiyyo selenia ^_^

Anna:That's a nice tune your playing.

(J and Sander can be seen walking through the crowds that are dancing and talking before they come upon a buffer. The two grabs some of the foods and eats it and they like it)

Selenia:*Bows* It is. It's really nice to see you again, Memph.

Shirenya:*walks up to J and Sander* How are you boys doing?

Kalis:Hey J!(Smiles)

J:Hey guys!

Sander:Hello there, mates ^^.

Memphis:You too selenia! And you... thank you very much! Care to dance! *just takes Anna's arms and begins dancing with her while just laughing and having a good time*

Anna:(Blushes and smiles while dancing with Memphis)

Selenia:*sighs* All those years of Caring for her are finally slipping...

Iriehana:You should be very proud, dear ^_^

Selenia:More then you can imagine, Grandmother...

Memphis:Your a pretty good dancer *smiles* but I never caught your name before... what may I call you *smiles*

Anna:(Blush and small smiles)Just call me Anna.

(an Armored General walks in and torward the throne)

???:Good Evening Your Majesty, Queen Selenia (bows deep)

Queen Selenia:*bows in return*

???:You look beautiful tonight (takes off helmet to show that he was Gale) Cousin =)

Queen Selenia:Thank you, Cousin *smiles, giving a big hug* I'm so glad to see you after these moments...

Gale:*hugs her* I told you would return did I not \=)

(While this is happening a load crash came though the wall)

Selenia:*gets hit a bit, unconsious*...

Gale:O_O SELENIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *grabs her before she hits the ground*

(Two ugly figures come out of the smoke)

Figure 1:Sorry for crashing the party...

Figure 2:We'll leave as soon as we come for what we're looking for...

Gale:I fought you creatures for a month and now you come to me...FINE (pulls out his sword Wind Walker) Get ready to meet your General in HELL

Demon 1:We're not here for you...

Demon 2:No,we're here for something worth alot more...

Shirenya and Iriehana:Leave this place at once. *walks up to them*

Demon 1:We'll leave soon...

Demon 2:We still need what we came here for...(Evil smiles)

Sander:[stops eating and looks at the demons] Oi, these lots are gonna regret for ruining the party! I'm going to send you blokes to kingdom come!

J:[facepalms] Too obvious, Sander. Literally. [to Demons 1 & 2] If you're gonna go after Selenia or Anna, then you made a fatal mistake of interrupting the party!

Demon 2:How there's no need for senseless fighting,well just take what we want and...

Demon 1:There she is!(Rushes over to what their looking for...which happens to be Anna!)

(The demon draws closer to Anna as she standing there scared and he was about to grab her when...Memphis stops him.)

Memphis:....How stupid you guys to crash a party full of heros *pulls out a blade from light*....

Demon 1:Out of the why runt!

Demon 2:Just give us the girl and we'll leave!

J:That's never going to happen!

Sander:You give royalty in vain, you pessimists (he means bygones)!

Memphis:*chuckles* Yeah right *snaps his fingers and sends a corrupted wave at them*

Demon 1:Hahahaha!Like you vermin can beat us!(Pulls out a iron club)

Demon 2:We are the best in the Demon Army!(Pulls out a sword)

Memphis:Anna! let's go let these guys deal with them! *grabs her arm*

Anna:(Snaps out of it)But,what if they...

Sander:We'll hold these blokes off!

J:I'm with ya there, Sander! Shame Oliver is going to miss this...

Kalis:(Runs over to Anna)Come on,Anna!

Anna:Ok.(Please be safe)(Runs with Kalis and Memphis)

Part 2
Luke:Looks like you need some help! (holding scythe with the sun behind him)

Demon 2:Just what we need,another one.I'll get the girl and you fight these 3 vermin,got it?!

Demon 1:Got it!

(Demon 2 runs after Anna and her friends. He is suddenly collided head on by Oliver!)

(SFX- WHUD!!!)

Oliver:[to Demon 2] Going somewhere?

J and Sander:Oliver!

Luke:How dull. (slices at them with his scythe, running towards the others as he attacks)

Demon 2:(Evil smiles and disappears)

Luke: What the...?) Takes scythe and feels the ground)

Oliver:[angered groans] Another day, [pumps his shotgun (which is poison aligned)] another job. [rushes off and goes with Anna and Kalis]

Demon 1:Hahahaha!You'll never escape my partner!He's the fastest demon there is!(Swings his iron club)

J:COPYCAT! [his Chaos aura from his hands form into the replica of Demon 1's iron club and clashes against it to hold him backk while Oliver joins in with Anna and the others]

Gale:I destroyed your army last month...2 will be EASY *swngs his sword at Demon *1

(In one of the halls)

Anna:What did those demons what with me?

Oliver:Not sure, but J and Sander are fending them off.

Kalis:That was the the wrost experince of my nine lives.I hope they can hold out.

Oliver:Same here.

???:Hehehehe...I finally find you...

(Everyone sees Demon 2 appear in front of them)

Oliver:Great. [goes into his fighting stance] Just what I needed for the job; killing evil. [to Anna] No offense, but even though i am a mercenary, I'm one of the good guys.

(Gale comes running down the hall jumps and slashes the demon's head off)

Gale:RUN NOW *holds back the demon as another head forms on his neck*

(Everyone runs)

Demon 2:(Evil smiles)Was that supossed to hurt?

Gale:No >=) *becomes Aurora Spirit Gale* But this is... SUN RAY *blasts a huge cannon of Sun energy to disinagrate him*

Noble Six:*laughs as the demon is burnt* TOASTY!!!!!

Demon 2:Woah!

Noble Six:*pulls out assault rifle* I'm not sure if this'll work, but... *shoots the demon*

(Demon 2's body lay as a black mess on the floor)

Gale:Now that is how you kill a demon =D Now for the 1st one *flies away*

Noble Six:*follows Gale*

(In the throne room)

Demon 1:Hahahaha!Is that the best you pipsqueks got?!(Keeps swinging his club)

???:*holds Demon 1 at gunpoint* Where's Anna?

Demon 1:Huh?

???:WHERE IS SHE????!!!!!

J:[sees the opportunity and whacks Demon 1's head with his replica of Demon 1's iron club] HYAH!

(SFX-WHAM!!!!)

(Anna and friends run back to the throne room)

Anna:Macabre?

Macabre:Anna?

Gale:*grabs the Demon* Sun Ray *disinagrates the demon*

Demon 1:Rahhhh!

Macabre:*turns away and shoots the demon in the head*

Gale:*goes to Selenia who was unconsious on the floor* (picks her up) <=( We need to help Selenia

Oliver:Great, now it's a rescue mission. [looks around] J and Sander isn't here with us...

(As everyone went to help Selenia,the ash of the dead demon spoke)

Demon:Hahahaha...You may had won this time,but more demons will come to take your Sun Princess away from here and trap her forever in our world....

Macabre:*shoots the demon again and cries*

Anna:Macabre?

Macabre:*crying* Good God...

Gale:Then they will meet the same fate:Disinagration.

Anna:What's wrong?(Hugs him)

Macabre:*hugs Anna* Where were you all this time?

Anna:I've been right here in this castle.

Selenia:*makes a moaning sound, as some blood appears from a cut on her forehead* Let.....my....

Shirenya:Hm...

Iriehana:......

Gale:*looks at Selenia still in his arms* Huh Selenia you ok? <=(

Selenia:*weak smile* As long as your here...

(Back with J and Sander, they seem to have gotten themselves lost inside the castle)

Sander:Great. We're lost,mate.

J:[anime vein] All because you had to lead the way, Sander.

Sander:I did all I could! I've never been into this castle before, J!

J: Riiight.... let's keep moving so we can regroup with the others and Oliver.

(The two continues to walk around to find their friends)

(Back with Anna and Macabre)

Macabre:'''I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN HERE!!!!!!!! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR MONTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'''

Oliver:[facepalms; sweatdrops]

Kalis:Hey,don't yell at her!

Macabre:*growls at Kalis*

Anna:(Tears a little)I'm sorry Mac.I just had no idea where you went.

Macabre:*kisses Anna deeply* I'm sorry...

Oliver:I... guess my job is complete, then. [walks away from the group, in search for Sander and J]

Anna:(Crys in Macabre's arm)I missed you so much.

Macabre:*gets teary eyed*I missed you too

(Meanwhile in the Demon World,someone watches his demons fail)

(A demon with bones sticking out of his skull is sitting there watching what happened through a black orb)

???:Pitiful ... simply pitiful ... That is the last time I send those two to do a job like that

(orb disappears)

???:No matter, it is only a matter of time before my plan unfolds

(Just then, a robot like demon walks in)

???:Sir, you called?

???:Ah Bneda, good to see you, I have something i need you to do

Bneda: (bows down) It would be a pleasure, Demon lord Selmah

(Back with everyone at the castle)

Anna:Selenia,you alright?

Gale:*sighs* This place is a mess *facepalm* I'm such an idiot Why did I use Sun Ray... I destroyed the castle

Oliver:Speaking of a mess, wasn't J and Sander supposed to be here with us? Or maybe they got crushed along with it thanks to your dumb actions that nearly costed one our friends' lives. [to Gale] I advise you to let me handle this before you cause collateral damage, thus injuring more innocent people.

Gale I=( *sigh* )=( No .......I have to fix this mess

Kalis:Guys,lets go find J and Sander.

Oliver:Yeah, and hopefully, they'll be alright.

Anna:Some of us should stay here in case they come back.

Gale:I'll stay with Selenia and protect her

Macabre:You do just that, and I'm staying with Anna

Oliver:Oh well. [to Kalis] Let's go find them. [walks off]

Kalis:Right.Anna you stay here with Gale and Mac.Me, Oliver and Luke will look for J and Sander.

Macabre:Fine

Anna:Be careful,Ka.

Kalis:I will!(Follows Oliver and Mazda)

Macabre:*groans*

(The four walks off to find J and Sander. Eventually, they find the two, who are buried underneath the rubble!)

(Memphis is seen flying back from an impact of some sort)

Memphis:GACK!!!!!

Kalis:Memphis!

(Back with Gale, Macabre and Selenia)

Gale:*tries to use Healing hands on Selenia* Come on Wake Up <=(

Selenia:*wakes up, in a startle* MEMPHIS!

Anna:It's alright Selenia.

Gale:Selenia, your ok *sigh of relief*

Anna:Those demons are gone.

Selenia:Where is he?! I need to find him! (runs off)

(Back with Kalis, Oliver and Luke, Sander frees himself from the rubble with J, unconsious, onto his arms)

Sander:[is beaten up; pants, carrying J onto his arms]

Oliver:Sander! J!

Kalis:You guys okay?

Sander:Yeah... but not to this bloke... J used Chaos Shield

to protect us, but he was too exhausted, it nearly crushed him...

Kalis:J...(Places her hand on him)Chaos Heal!

Macabre: ...

(J regains his consiousness and Sander puts him down so he can stand to his feet)

J:[groans (his vision was blurry as he wakes up] Selenia...? Sander...?

Oliver:Heh.

Kalis:Its alright J,everyones safe.

Macabre:*panics* Where's Anna?

Selenia:J! (runs, and finally appears again)

Kalis:She's back with the old queens.

J:Huh? Selenia??

Sander:[helps J take him to Selenia]

Oliver:Glad you're okay, J.

Macabre:Well, where are they?

Selenia:The- *starts to have a panic cough attack*

J:!!! [sees her cough, rushes, but crawls over to her] Selenia!!

Selenia:*coughs*

Kalis:I think they are still in the throne room.

J:[hugs Selenia, trying his best to hold back tears]

Selenia, h-h-hang on!! [voice breaking] I-I-I'm here!

Selenia:Go back...the direction....I came from! *coughs alot more, until the point she cant catch her own breath*

Macabre:*struggling to keep calm* Where's the throne room?

J:Wh-What?!

Oliver:Oh no....

Sander:I didn't give J to Selenia so she could end up dying in his arms!

Selenia:AT THE CASTLE!!! *tears fall out of her eyes, as she looses her breath*

Macabre:*almost loses mind* I know it's at the castle, just where?!!

Oliver:[dashes off to the throne room]

Sander:Wait up! [follows oliver, leaving J behind]

J:!!!

'''Gale:*runs up* SELENIA!!!!!!!!!!!!! *gives her a vaccine to calm the coughing*'''

Selenia:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!................................

Kalis:She says down that way,where she came.

(Back in the throne room with Anna and the two queens)

Anna:I hope they find them.Oh excuse me aunt,grandma,but I need to go get something from my room.

(Anna reaches in her room looking for something)

Anna:Now where are they...Aha find it!(Hold her gold locket)Good thing you guys are safe.(Opens it to see her family)

(just then, a demon like robot is standing on Anna's window-ledge)

???:Glad you found what you're looking for princess, but i'm afraid you have to come with me now.

Anna:Huh?!Who are you?!

???:(jumps out window and stand infront of Anna) Well i guess it's only polite (bows down to Anna then rises) My name is Bneda, third in command of the demon forces, and I have been told to take you to my leader. So if you don't mind, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way.

Anna:(Backs ups slowly)Why does he want me?

Bneda:(straightens posture) 'He' just wants to ... negotiate ... somethings with you, and he hired me to get you so that it is sure that you come alone.

Anna:That's nice of him,but i'm really busy now,so(finds a lamp)No thanks!(Throws it at him and tries to make a run.)

(just then, another demon like robot stand infornt of the door, blocking Anna's escape)

???:Now now princess. Don't tell me you want to dissapoint our leader do you ... because if you do, it'll be the worse decision you ever made.

Anna:!(Shock)

???:My apologies princess i didn't introduce myself (bows then rises) My name is Rencia, second in command of the demon forces, and brother of that person over there. Unless you want to meet our older brother, i suggest you come with us now, he doesn't like to talk and ALWAYS, gets the target.

Anna:(Did the only thing she could do)Aaaaaaahhhhh!

Part 3
Kalis:Anna's in trouble!Come on guys.Choas Heal!(Heals Selenia)

Selenia:Kalis...Please don't....It won't work....

Kalis:That's why I got this!(holds a small bottle)I learned how to combine Chaos Heal with the lake's healing water.

Selenia:*coughs a bit, as she feels pain all around* Please don't....It's time for me to disappear....

Kalis:But Anna needs you!So don't give up!

Selenia:*tears up a bit* Anna's already grown up....*starts loosing her breathe* Tell her to...stay good....

(As time passes by, Selenia finally dies...)

KalisNo!Anna made this trick so you two won't lose each other again.(Pours the water on her hands then on Selenia)Choas Heal!

(with Luke)

Luke:Hmmm.....how dull...

(Luke hears Kalis' cries)

(Back with Kalis with a lifeless Selenia,seeing her trick failed to help.)

Kalis:(Cries)I'm sorry Anna,I tried,but I couldn't save Selenia.

(Luke finds Kalis crying over Selenia's death)

Selenia's Corpse: *her body now feels cold, as a died tear (or two) lay on her face, without moving*

Kalis:Huh?

(back with Oliver and Sander, J has already left)

Oliver:If we were to tell J that Selenia's dead, he'll be devastated.

Sander:Yeah...

Guy in a dark suit:*appears from the shadows*....Tell him anyway....

Sander:You're crazy, mate.

Oliver:We do that, and J would be permanently heartborken.

Sander:Since his emotions are mentally unstable, it's all up to him to revive Selenia, no matter the cost.

Guy in dark suit:The Crystaline Emeralds used her energy...If you don't tell him and he uses the emeralds, it could cause chaos. Those emeralds aren't for making wishes, each has a spirit. And if the spirits are used more then 5 times, there will be a huge clide and the spirits would fight each other for territory over the world....Don't make it happen.

Sander:.... [to Oliver; nods] Go.

Oliver:Great... Another day, another daunting job. [rushes off the castle to find J]

(Back with Kalis)

Kalis:(See's Selenia's tears)I pomise Selenia.I'll portect Anna.(goes to find the others)

(Kalis finds J with everyone and the queens in the throneroom)

Kalis:Guys,Anna's need help!

J:?!

Oliver:[arrives with J; about to say something, but keeps himself quiet] Looks like another job for us to... accomplish again, J.

J:[nods]

Shirenya and Iriehana:What's wrong dear?

Kalis:I heard her scream.Where is she?

(A Demon is seen looking around... although he does not act like a normal demon or even seems to be in league with the evil doers)

(Kalis see the demon and charges after it)

Kalis:Hey you,what are you doing here?!

???: *Looks at her with his piercing purple and yellow rimmed eyes,clearly angered* WHERE IS ANNA!!! ARE YOU IN LEAGUE WITH THOSE DEMONS!!!!

Kalis:The only demon I see is you!(Grabs a club)Now where is Anna?!

???: *calms himself down* Good I see you are just... *clicks his lock back into place and reverts back into a white hedgehog*.... My name is Memphis, Memphis the Shining Demonhog and I want to put a beat down to anyone who tries to harm Anna *clenches his fist and a spark of light and dark energy flickers*

Kalis:(Remebers him)I remember you.You dance with Anna at the party

Memphis: *nods* Yes I had the pleasure of dancing with the princess... *gets aggitated* And then I coulnd't even PROTECT HER!!!! *growls*

Kalis:She's in trouble and I don't know where she is.

Memphis: Well then I am at your service *grins* so lead the way and I will follow.

Kalis:Come on,I think I know where she might be.

Memphis: Right! Lead the way.

(Kalis with Memphis goes to Anna's room to find everyone there)

Kalis:She's not here?

Memphis:I don't like this one bit....

Kalis:Hey,look at this.(sees a foot print on the floor)

Memphis: *interested*... Who do you think it belongs to?

Kalis:No idea,and there's another one by that broken lamp on the floor.

Memphis: Well then... If there is a trail it is best that we follow it...

Kalis:Yeah.(See something sparkle)What's that?

Memphis: *walks to it and takes a closer look* I have no clue...

Kalis:(Dig for it and grabs it and pulled it out)This is Anna's necklance!She was here!

Memphis:... By the looks of the place a struggle took place here.... that is the most logical answer to all this. *growls* Whoever did this they are going to wish they hadn't.

Luke: (walks up from behind then whistles) Never a dull day with you guys.

Anya:(runs into the room)The demons has been sited outside and they got the princess!

Luke: (sighs) Let's get this over with.

Memphis: Party time *rips off the lock and turns into Demon Memphis*

(Everyone rushes outside to see two robot demons and Anna passed out in one of them's shoulder)

D Memphis: ANNA!!! *growls* those things are going to get a beating!

Kalis:Put her down you freaks!

(Both demons didn't listen to them and runs off)

D Memphis: Bad move creeps *dashes after them on all fours*

Kalis:Get back here with our friend!(Chases after them)

Luke: Why are they always running? (chases after them)

(The heroes chase the demons at a good pace,but haven't gotten any closer)

D Memphis: *growls* This is getting us nowhere... *cringes in pain* I can't keep this form up much longer.

Kalis:Just how can they not be tried?

(The two demons then do a trick and both disappered)

D Memphis: Son of a.... *growls and brakes himself to a stop*... dang them *panting*

Kalis:They just vanished into thin air.

D Memphis: *stands up* No... they did something to throw us off... but I can still sense Anna... Strange...

Anna:Maybe the demons we where chasing are fakes and the real ones went somewhere else.

D Memphis: That is the most logical thing I can think of right now... *cringes in pain again* dang it...

Kalis:You might want to change back before we go back to the castle.

D Memphis: Yeah... sounds like a plan *slaps back on the lock and reverts back to Memphis*...jeez how annoying to be so powerful and so weak at the same time. *panting*

Kalis:Come on.We need to get back to the castle and think of our next move.

Memphis: *nods* Right! *dashes off towards the castle* Come on keep up *laughs*

Kalis:(Dashes next time him)Yep!(Giggles)

???:*appears in the shadows* Why hello there...

Kalis:Who are you?

???: I am Kanonbai the Porcupine...And I have come to do a little..."Deal"...

Memphis: *Growls* Another threat? -thinking: Anna, just you wait I'll save you... just hold out for me-

Kanonbai: I see your thinking about the lost one's cousin, Eh?

Kalis:Are you working with those demons?

Memphis: *getting aggitated clenches his fist and a spark of light and dark energy is seen flickering around his body* Don't mess with me got it!

Kanonbai: We don't work with demons, We create them! That's why we finally killed the queen, my dear....*snaps his finger, as a group is behind* Now, It's our job to kill everything in sight, I hope you join her!

Kalis:Where is Anna!?

Memphis: *his eyes widen* You... you what! *growling* (-thinking- Not good I have to keep my temper or else I will lose myself to my demon instincts again!) *lock glowing with a purple demonic aura*

Kanonbai: You don't understand, Grey Hedgehog! We killed the one called Selenia....She was our arch enemy for years...And we hold control of her body at the time she was weak....*grins* And now, Anna will be meeting up with her in an hour or 2...And don't worry, My beloved rose is somewhere safe, being treated fairly...

Memphis: shut up... SHUT UP!!!!! *the lock cracks and lets out a rush of demonic aura out, Memphis tranforms into D Memphis and he goes into a feral position, his eyes like darkspine sonic's* I'LL KILL YOU!!!!

Kanonbai: *isn't so much surprised* What the matter? You seem tensed...I guess you do understand....*smiles, then goes back* If you want both your friends back....Then you will have to come with me....Gaurds, fight these two! *goes back in the shadows, then dissapates*

D Memphis: *growling like a beast*

Kalis:Wait!Where is she!?

Kanonbai: Anna? She's safe.....For now of course....

Kalis:Why did they take her in the 1st place?What do you and them want from her?

KanonBai: We already killed the moon-spirit...Now for the sun....

D Memphis: *restraining himself*

Kanonbai: Have a little "gift"....*gives Memphis a note*

Kalis:But that would ruin the balance.

One of the demon:You may had made us,but are leader,has other plans for her.

D Memphis: *Attempts to claw at Kanonbai when the note is passed to him but he misses and grabs the note*... *growls*

Kanonbai: *disappears in his shadows*

Note: *sealed with a broken lock*

(All the demons turn to Kanonbai)

D Memphis: I DON'T GET THIS NOTE!!!!

Random demon:Fear not your prinecess will not be killed.

Shahongai Betrayer: I promise it...Now give me the note, and I shall read it for you...

D Memphis: *growls but hands the not to the betrayer*

Kalis:What's it say?

Shahongai Betrayer: I-Its a note from you Queen...Miss Blisslight?

(Demons diappers)

Kalis:Looks like those guys went back to they're leader.

D Memphis: *growling in pain as more demonic aura leaks out from him, the lock was on the floor next to Kalis*

Shahongai Betrayer: P-Please...T-Tell your friend to calm down! Just let me read the note...

Kalis:Here Memphis.(Hands him the lock)

D Memphis: *takes it and slaps it on he revert back to normal but the seal is leaking a demonic aura since it cracked*...

Kalis:What does the note say?

Shahongai Betrayer: Hmm....''Dear Family and Friends...As some of you don't know, I have passed away. There is an oncoming affect...''

Kalis:I saw her died.

Part 4
Anna:(Just woke up)Huh?(See that she's in a unknown room)Where am I?(looks out the window)This doesn't look like my home.But how did I get here?Hmm?Ohh,now I remember.Those two robot demons took me,but the after that I blacked out.(And I thought I heard Selenia's,Kalis' and Memphis voices.)Well,I guess I better see if I can get home.(walks to her door)

(The door knob makes a rattling noice and the door opens)

???:Hmm?

Anna:(steps out the room)I hope I don't run into any-(Sees a robot demon)...demons.

???:(The black robo-demon bows then rises) My name is Skiltre, Our king wishes to see you.

Anna:(This must be the other brother I heard about.I better play along and see what happens.)Okay,please lead the way.

Skiltre:Understood.

(Skiltre leads the princess past several rooms, all empty or either contain mysterious crates or barrels. Finally they reach the throne room)

Skiltre:(stops infront of door) Before I go in I must ask, do you wish to enter with me or alone?

Anna:Your brother says he want to speck with me alone.But,answer this question,How strong is he?

(Skiltre remained still with his back still facing Anna, but he slightly turned his head)

Skiltre:Let's put it this way ... not even me and my brothers together can beat our king ... but however (Skiltre turned his face forward again) Only one person has ever faced our king and is still alive today (Opens the throne room doors) You may enter.

Anna:Thank you.(Walks into the throne room)

(At the far end of the room, Selmah rises from his throne to great Anna)

???:Ah, princess Anna, how I have waited to see you (Bows as a king would then rises) My name is Selmah, The Bone Demon King (Sits back down in his throne) So tell me princess, what do you think of my kingdom?

Anna:I guess it matches you just fine.

(Selmah straightens his back and croses his arms)

Selmah:However do you mean, princess?

Anna:(lies)That it shows greatness beyond compare,your majesty.

Selmah:(laughs a heart-drilling laugh) Please princess, do you honestly think I believe you? (Stands up) So we can get along better, I can read peoples thought and most of all have an impacable sense of truth (crosses arms again) And you my dear are not speaking of the truth!

Anna:(Shivers)Okay,I don't like it.(Crosses her arms and turns around)I want to go home.(Stats tearing)

Selmah:(walks away from his throne a few steps) Don't try your crocodile tears here princess. I simply wanted our meeting unknown to your so called 'friends'

Anna:(Uses her arm to wipe her face)Why do you want to talk to me?

Selmah:(makes a book appear out of a flash of darkness) Are you familiar with the hatrid between our two kingdoms?

Anna:No.Selenia never told me that.

Selmah:In that case let me explain ... For about 50 years now our two knigdoms have lived in an adjacent, yin and yang if you will, everytime your kingdom's land gains good fortune, our's gains bad, and vice-versa. This was because of the ancients that once lived. Your 4 times over great grandmother and my 4 times great grandfather had a large family dispute and both had decided to swear war against each other ... This war had lasted for 10 years and many had fallen. But a treaty was made from your great great grandomother and my great great grandfather. That treaty states that the two kingdoms must not interfere with one another, not under any circumstances were this oath to be breaken until two weeks ago. This was when I discovered how to make our lands one, so I have been plotting for the past week. (Opens dark book) It is said on the last page of terms that "If the 6th generation of our kind were to make amends, both lands shall gain equal strife and equal luxury".

Anna:Amends?But what does it have to do with me?And you?

Selmah:(makes the book disappear in another flash of darkness) There are three ways we can make amends ... one is to become friends, and I don't see that happening do you?

Anna:No...And what's the other two?

Selmah:The second is that we make ALL of our citizens forgive each other for what has been done, but then again because of two of my demons interference from before, I doubt they will forgive easy ... am I correct?

Anna:I guess your right.And the 3rd?

Selmah:(made a devilish grin across his face) The thrid is simple ... all you have to do ... is let me be the king of your land and you the queen of mine for a day, so we can truly understand the lives each kingdom has, as if we both see and admit that the life of the other kingdom is worse than the others ... then and only then can the oath be broken.

Anna:(Shocked)That's crazy!Isn't there any other way,then doing any of those?

Selmah:(the grin widens even more) The only other way, is for you to be my bride, and I think option three is better than this option don't you?

Anna:(Step back shocked still)Your bride?!But I'm still young.

Selmah:As am I (uses his dark power to reduce him to his real age) As you can see I am still young, but my parents have lent me the trick of increasing my age at will so other kingdoms wont realise that the great demon king is but a mere child (lifts head high in pride) so I have finally decided, as an act of peace, that I share this information with you if you wish (raises age back to 25 years)

Anna:(Bows down)I'll keep your secret even in death.

Selmah:(has a wierd feeling of gratitude rush over him but he quickly ignores it) I am greatful princess ... BNEDA, RENCIA, SKILTRE! (few seconds later Bneda walks through the throne room doors with his brothers in tandom, They all bow towards their king and Anna)

Bneda:You callled sir?

Selmah:Yes I did, I was wondering if you could take the princess to the training field, I wish to teach her the art of aging ...

Rencia:(coiled) But sir isn't that art strictly for those of your bloodline?

Selmah:(shot Rencia a glance of pure evil)You dare question me?

Rencia:(coils again) Sorry King Selmah.

Bneda:(glances at Skiltre then Selmah) Sir I think Skiltre should take her there ... Rencia and I have matters we wish to talk to you about first.

Selmah:(Walks back to his throne) Fine,Skiltre take Anna to the field (turns to the princess) I shall be with you momentarily princess, forgive me.

Anna:What for?

Selmah:You wish to learn my ancestor's technique don't you? We'll need a big field because you need to accomplish somethings first.

Skiltre:(turns to Anna) Shall we be on our way, princess?

Anna:I guess so.

(Skiltre leads Anna out of the throne room, and as soon as the doors close, Bneda begins to talk)

Bneda:Sir, we have news to report from Princess Anna's friends from her kingdom

Selmah:(sits in his throne) perfect, so what is the status on them.

Rencia:It has seems that they know that the princess is missing sir ... it is only a matter of time before they come looking for her here.

Selmah:(Gets up from his throne and walks to the door) Do what you deem neccessary to stop them from getting here, even if it means resorting to 'it', it will ony be a matter of time before the princess has already agreed to the third option ...

Bneda:But what if she doesn't

Selmah:(gives Bneda a blank look) We will cross that bridge when we get there.

(Walks out of the thone room)

(Meanwhile with Skiltre and Anna)

(Skiltre takes the princess through another set of halls in the castle, taking her past a group of demons who seem to like the princess walking past as they talk about how nice she is ... But also through another group of demons who seem intent on killing her, but Skiltre shot them a dark and empty look, then they walked away)

Anna:Hey,why does your king want to teach me his trick and why are some your demons looking at me?

Skiltre:(Keeps his head straight and his voice down so only Anna can hear) The demons that are looking at you in admiration believe that you can bring this land to peace and bring it the good fortune it deserves ... As for the demons that look at you in depise think that you are the reason why this land is nothing but a barren wasteland and your kingdom is lush and teeming with life ...

Anna:I see.Sure my kingdom has that,but we also have our problems.But why does the king want to teach me?

Skiltre:His motives for teaching you the ancient skill of age manipulation is unkown, but I assure you ... he does it on his own will, not for the will of others ...

(Shows Anna the large outdoor field. it has many old and creepy trees and alot of the land has crevases and fissures in them)

(Just then, Selmah appears in a flash of darkness as Skiltre left Anna on the field)

Selmah:Sorry for the little wait ... Shall we begin princess?

Anna:Um yes.(Sees a flower)A flower?

Selmah:(Walks over to the flower and kneels down for a closer look) No princess. (touches the 'flower' and it changes into some 5 legged insect creature and scurries of into the hollow tree) That is what we call a Daisect, a type of insect that disguises itself as a flower to inject non-demons with lethal poison (stands up) But don't worry, it won't harm you as long as you touch it's legs and ONLY it's legs.

Anna:Okay.But why do you want to teach me your trick?I never asked to learn it.

Selmah:(straightens his back) Like I said in the throne room, I will teach you this technique as an act of peace, and in return, I simply want to learn an attack from you if it isn't so much to ask?

Anna:Okay.But what do you want me to teach you?

Selmah:(Faces Anna and shows her a face of no emotion what-so-ever) All I want t learn is a simple healing technique that can save people from the brink of death, if you know of such a move, you can teach it to me before or after I teach you my technique (holds out a hand to shake so they can seal the deal)

Anna:I do know Chaos Heal.

Selmah:(gives the princess a digusted look) Please! Don't trifle me with those petty healing techniques! (facial expression is serious now) If you don't know a good technique, healing or not, I refuse to teach you the ways of aging.

Anna:There is one I'm trying to invent,It has to do with Chaos Heal and the magical healing lake water.But I don't know if it works.I hope that it would revive those who are dying so no one would feel sad.

Selmah:Hmmm ... (snaps his fingers) Then it is settled, I will teach you the technique of aging, and once you perfect this technique you are working on you can teach me (holds hand out again to seal the deal) Do we have an agreement, princess?

Anna:Alright,but also after this teaching,will you let me return home?

Selmah:(grins) Of course princess, after we learn what we wish, I will send my three robo-demons with you so you get there safely (moves hand closer to Anna) So do we have a deal?

Anna:(Slowly moves her hand to Selmah)D-Deal.

Selmah:(grin widens) Perfect ... (grabs Anna's hand and Selmah's hand become shrowded in darkness. As this is happening a mark of an X has appeared on the back of Anna's hand, and then it disappears as if it wasn't there)

Anna:(Shivers)What was that just now?

Selmah:(takes hand back) That was nothing but some some reassurance ... The now invisible mark on your hand simply makes sure that you keep to what you agreed on, nothing more, nothing less.

Anna:What happens when the deal isn't kept?

Selmah:Lets cross that bridge when we get there (the same identicle mark appears on Selmah's chest but in the color yellow, then it too disappears) I will know if you broke the promise as you will know if I brake the promise (devishly grins) I may be young little princess ... But I am smart beyond all recognition ...

Anna:(Rubs the back of her hand)I just hope everyone's okay.

Selmah:That is exactly the news that Bneda and Rencia wanted to tell me! They told me that your so called friends are worried for you, but I think it is best if they do not know of your whereabouts.

Anna:I don't even know how I got here.But I know Selenia and Kalis are worried sick about me.

Selmah:(has a confused look on his face) Of all the books and manuscripts I have read over the past three years I have never heard of such a word ... tell me, what does 'worried' mean?

Anna:Your kidding!?It's means to show concern for those you care for.Haven't anyone you know showed you cocerned?

Selmah:(saddened expressionon his face) I am the last child to be born in this kingdom, I have no "friends" or "parents" or "loved ones" all I have are the three robo-demons who have all taught me how to fight and how to care for myself, and they have never been concerned or worried about me.

Anna:How sad.Well,maybe I'll be your friend,if you want.That way you'll learn how it feels.No strings attached.

Selmah:(the sad expression disappears and it is now a face of both gratitude and confusion) You s-sure? The last person who said those exact same words stole my greatest treasure and ran to another kingdom ... I just can't risk that from happening again ...

Anna:Well like you say I can't leave till I teach you my skill and I said I'm still making it,Besides what would I steal from you?

Selmah:(turns to face Anna and he meets her eyes) I wouldn't know, but I still can't risk that same feeling I got from when my ex-friend betrayed me ... (starts crying and turns away from Anna) I don't even have the other demon's trust! They fear me and thats why they obey me ... not because I am a great ruler but because of the curse that my father had bestowed upon me! (gains control of himself and straightens his back) *sniff* But none-the-less, you have a technique you need to perfect, I will have Skiltre watch over you as you complete this and you may ask him to bring you supplies, that is if it is okay with you?

Anna:Yes,that's fine.I would also ask for some free time to clear my head and protection.(Looks at her dress that's coverd in dirt)And perhaps something not dirty to wear?

Selmah:Sure,Skiltre! (Skiltre appeared in a few moments)

Skiltre:(Bows)You called my king?

Selmah:Yes, I would like that you show Anna to her room in which she woke up in, also I would like you to be her personal body guard and guide of the kingdom while she stays, anything she asks, she gets unless I forbid it understood?

Skiltre:Understood my king, will there be anything else?

Selmah:Yes.The princess wishes for some garments, have our tailor bring some clothes for her to her room so she can get dressed. (turns to Anna) I shall be in my throne room or in the castle's library if you wish to see me Anna, is that okay?

Anna:Yes and thank you.(Bows and smiles)

Selmah:No need to bow, you are a princess, but none-the-less I will leave you to what you wanted to do. (disappears in a flash of darkness)

Skiltre:(stand up) Shall I take you to your quarters princess?

Anna:Yes you may,and please just call me Anna.

Skiltre:Yes ... Anna ... (shows the princess through the hallway and stops infront of her room) Here are your quarters Prin- ... I mean Anna ... I shall be standing outside if you need anything, and as for the clothes that the tailor has given you (a small box has been left infront of the door) I guess that would be it ...

Anna:(Picks it up)I guess so.(Yawn)

Skiltre:I see you are tired (walks to the room next to Anna's) Coincidentely my room is here, remember, if there is anything you request, I am here for you Anna.

Anna:Thank you,Skiltre.(opens her door)I'll see you when I'm awake.

Skiltre:Good night princess (enters his room and closes door)

Anna:You too.(Enters her room and closes the door)

(Anna changes into a nightgown to sleep in and looks at a mirror)

Anna:Not a bad gown,for some demons.(Walks to her bed,lays down and pulls up the sheets,and looks at the moon and starts tearing)Everyone...(Then she drifts to sleep)

(Meanwhile at the Anna's castle)

Kalis:(Finds tears in her eyes,puts her fingers on it and looked at them)Anna?

Part 5
(At Anna's kingdom)

Kalis:(Finds the others)Guys,I just felt Anna!

Memphis:*he is seen trying to fix his lock*.... Grr darn it... *looks at Kalis* I'm sorry Kalis you say something?

Kalis:Anna's crying.(Looks in his eyes)You have them too.

Memphis:Huh Anna's crying? *clearly confused* I have what now?

Shirenya:*comes back* What's going on?

Kalis:For a momet,I felt Anna called out to me.

Memphis:*snaps the crack in the lock back into place* Got it! *gets up* Well then, if she called you wouldn't it be rude not to answer the call? *smiles*

Kalis:True but we should plan ahead first.

Anya:(Walks up to them)That would be wise.(crosses arms)She's already in the demon's kingdom,and going there without a plan means death to the unprepared.

Memphis: Strategy *smiles* I like the way you guys think... If I can get a layout of the place I can help with that!

Kalis:Miss Anya,do you have a map or something about the demon's home.

Anya:Yes,it's in the ancient part of the library,that only the royal family and their bodyguards can enter.Follow me.(Leads them to the library)

(In the library)

Memphis:*he is seen looking at multiple layouts* Hmm... Ok... *he runs and comes back with another layout*... wow how foolish *chuckles*.... Hmm.

Anya:(Pulls a book out and blows it)This is the one.

Kalis:That looks realy old.

Anya:It is.It was made by Anna's 4 time's great grandmother.

Memphis:All this is so amazing *laughs* Oh is that it? May I see it?

Anya:Yes,just be careful,its very fragle.(Hands it to Memphis)

Memphis:*flips through the book and then sits down and begins writing something*.................... Ok, from the info I got there are three hundred weak spots.... but only two are avaible to a small group like us.... *begins drawing a layout* This will take some time so please be patient.

Kalis:(Just hold on Anna.We're coming for you.)

(Meanwhile in the Demon's Castle)

Anna:(Dreaming of her childhood)

Young Anna:Hahaha!Mommy!Big brother!

Dawn:Anna.(Smiles)

Shawn:(Grins)Hey sis!

Young Anna:(Runs to her mom and brother and hugs them)

(Back with Sander...)

Sander: Blast! This hallway is like a maze! [shrugs] J is DEFINATELY not going to like this one bit when I tell him Selenia's a goner. [sighs] I'm thankful that the bloke Oliver is taking care of this. For now...

Anya:The body of her Highness is encased in crystal as the princess asked

(Back in Anna's dream,then everything turns to fire)

Young Anna:Huh?Mommy?Big brother?Where did you go?

(Sees her family on the ground and a stranger staring at her)

Younger Anna:What did you do to them?(Starts crying)

Stranger:Just gave them the royal treatment,but I'll spare you for the time being,the moon child will need the sun child.(Smiles evily)Till then little one.(Disappers into the night)

(The rest of her dream shows her through her life with Selenia and all her friends,then she finds herself in a dark void)

Anna:Where am I?Where is everyone?(Then she see's 3 figures)Selenia,the stranger and Salmah)Selenia!(Tries to hug her,but then she disappears,then Salmah does the same,leaving her alone with the stranger)No...

Stranger:Looks like your all alone princess,(Pulls out a dagger and holds her down)But you'll soon be joining them!

Anna:Nooooo!(Then wakes up with sweat on her face)

(Skiltre barges in, a dark aura around each fist)

Skiltre:PRINCESS, ARE YOU OKAY?

Anna:(Pants)I'm fine Skiltre,I just having a nightmare,no need to be alarmed.

Skiltre:(sigh of relief and the dark aura disappears around his fists) okay then,I wish you a well night for the rest of the night princess (walks away)

(Meanwhile in the library)

(Selmah has fallen asleep in the big book of the ancients after reading for more ancient techniques)

(In his dreams it shows Selmah in his childhood, when he was cared for by all three of the robo-demons)

Young Selmah:Bet you can't catch me! (runs behind twisted tree after twisted tree)

Rencia:Of course we can't little sir, you are to good for me (laughs)

Bneda:(appears behind Selmah and catches him) I guess I win the bet (smiles)

Young Selmah:(starts wriggling) No fair! I can't use chaos control yet NO FAIR! (starts pouting)

(Skiltre walks in through the castle doors with a peice of paper)

Skiltre:It's for you little sir ... Iit's from your father

(Younger Selmah is let go by Bneda, but as he runs towards Skiltre to get the note, the note catches fire and everything slowly disapates in the darkness)

Younger Selmah:Skiltre? Bneda? Rencia? Where are you guys?

(Suddenly a stranger appears in the darkness, holding the cloak that Selmah's father once owned)

Younger Selmah:Who are you and what have you done with my father?

Stranger:*chuckles* All in do time you dark little runt!

(The stranger lunges towards Selmah with his hands out stretched to strangle)

Selmah:AUUUGH! (wakes up and looks around the room alarmingly) I guess it was a dream ..... (Continues on reading the ancient book of techniques)

(In Anna's room)

Anna:(Lays on her bed thinking of her dream)(What was that all about?Could the stranger I saw part of that group mother told me about)(flashback)

Dawn:Anna,there this group that you should always be careful of.

Young Anna:What that mommy?

Selenia:The Sanhongai.They kill those who they see as trouble.So be warned my dear,and you will shine though.(End flashback)

Anna:(Well,I better get some sleep)Yawn.(Closed her eyes and went back to sleep)

(Morning)

Anna:(Sun shines in her face and wipe her eyes)Mmm...Good morning Sun...

(There is a knock at the door)

Anna:Come in.

(A lady demon sticks her head through the door)

Lady Demon:Princess, I have been sent by Selmah to request what you will have for breakfast.

Anna:What's for today?

(The lady demon walks in)

Lady Demon:We have anything and almost everything my dear princess (bows)

Anna:Wow.Umm,lets see,I guess two slices of toast would be fine with a glass of milk,if that's alright?

Lady Demon:(bows) Thanks princess, Skiltre will show you the way to the dining room (Leaves the room and closes the door behind her)

Anna:Now to change into something besides this nightgown.(Goes behind a changing stand and puts on a simple light blue dress)This look nice.(Goes to a mirror to brush her hair)

(There is another knock at the door)

Skiltre:Princess? It is Skiltre ... are you ready to go to the dining room?

Anna:(Opens her door)Yes I'm ready.(Smiles)Please lead the way.

Skiltre:Indeed (takes the princess a few halls down and then they both enter a room where Selmah, a few of his elite commanders, and the other two robo-demons are sittting at a table, waiting for the meals to come ... Skiltre takes his seat between his brothers)

Selmah:(strands) Good of you to join us Princess Anna ... (pulls out the empty chair right next to him) Please, take a seat.

Anna:Thank you.(Sits in the chair)

Selmah:(sits back down, and eyes his elite commanders making sure they don't say anything they would regret) So how was your night at the castle Anna?

Anna:It was pretty good,beside the bad dream I had.

Selmah:(signals for all his commanders andd the robo-demons to leave for the conversation) (after they leave, Selmah speaks) Strange ... i had a bad dream last night as well ... and i am generally used to them but this one was different ...

Anna:Really?

Selmah: Yes ... This dream had a different feeling to the usual ones (Turns to Anna) Why? What kind of dream did you have last night?

Anna:(looks sad and starts tearing)My childhood.First it was good,then it turned to the night my family was gone,then I seen my whole life before me,then(paused for a bit and hugs herself)The same one that took my mom and brother,was about to take my life,and I was alone.

Selmah: (Surprised look on his face) Really!?! The same thing basically happened to me (face is no longer surprised and Selmah looks serious) I saw the day when i last got a letter from my father ... but as i ran to recieve the note ... evrything just disappeared even though it didn't happen in real life ... then this, strange person who i never saw before (eyes go teary) he ... he had my fathers cloak, and said that he was going to get me next ... the last thing i remember was him lunging towards me ... and then i woke in the library (tear runs down Selmah's face)

Anna:(Hands him her hankercheif)Sounds like we share the same past.(Smiles with tears)

Selmah: (Shakes his head but manages a smile) Thank you princess, but i don't think that we share the same past (gives the hankercheif back to Anna, then wipes his eyes with his wrists)

Anna:I didn't see his face,but I guess he's a member of The Sanhongai my mother told me about.

Selmah: (Shudders and is about to make a comment when)

(doors open and the same lady demon who saw Anna about her breakfast appears with a cart)

Lady Demon: Breakfast is ready!

(Wheels around to Anna and Selmah, handing Anna what she wanted and handing Selmah a bowl of nutri-grain and two slices of toast and jam)

Lady Demon: Enjoy! (leaves with cart)

Anna:Well,we better eat before our breakfest gets cold.

Selmah: (smiles) How can cereal get cold? *laughs* (saddened expression on face as he eats the toast) It's been a long time since i have made a joke and had a good laugh ...

Anna:(bites her toast and shallows)I think you should keep doing it.

Selmah: (finishes toast) i would, but then how would the citizens see me (takes a spoon full of cereal) The people here want a strong leader, not a leader who mkes jokes just too pass the time ... they want a leader ready to fight as soon as there is word of war or conflict (eats the cereal)

(Some vines immediatly come out of the floor, seemingly controlled by somebody or thing)

Anna:What is that?

Selmah: *jumps up* I have no idea.

(The vine moves toward Anna)

Anna:(Get up quickly)I think it after me.

Selmah: *spreads hand and makes a ball of darkness surrounding the vines, stopping them from moving* *drops hands and moves forward to inspect the vines* Strange, i have never seen this kind of vine in demon castle ... and we have an encyclopedia full of them ...
