At last, Micaiah was before the gates of...dark clouds in the sky. She looked up in fear, and took a heavy sigh to herself. "Oh goddess....why now, why here..." She caved to her knees, trying to gain a bit of rest in the short amount of time she knows they have.

Some people in the town had looked up in confusion of the sudden darkness. "What is this?" and "Huh?" was but a few things said in the crowd. A woman's scream could suddenly be heard as she noticed Zedonius. "AHHHH! What is that thing!?" The giant bat flapped his wings and seemingly stood on the air several feet above the crowd. "For centuries your kind has done wrong to the world as well as my kind. I say it is about time I put an end to your reign. I will show you impudent apes a new kind of fear!" He lowered down only slightly toward the crowd where he was slightly more visibile. The people stood there afraid, some gasping as they covered their faces with their arms. "You! Ungrateful primates! Who do you think it was that brought the element of 'fire' to this world? You may have been told lies by your teachers, but I will inform you of the truth. It was none other than I, Zedonius, one of the four greater fiends!" He laughed as some people trembled, "Your species makes me ENRAGED! How disrespectful you are to us, the fiends! Well, I am now going to deliver upon to you an ultimatum..." Some Crimean knights had been wheeling out some catapults, all loaded with large rocks that could easily damage anything. They then cut the ropes and allowed the rocks to fly at Zedonius. "Submit, or die!" as the rocks approached Zedonius he covered himself in some kind of fire barrier and led to the rock's breaking into several tiny little pebbles and raining all over the scattering people. "Hahahahahaha! Absolutely, disgusting. You have chosen death." He then unleashed a giant fireball at the town.

"Stay here, Micaiah, we can handle this..." But could she really? She and the Prince had defeated Ahriman together, but their task still remained incomplete. What if they charged in to help, only find themselves over their heads and defeated? Who then would stop Ahriman from taking over their world? What would this small victory mean if the whole world was lost? Elika hesitated in her steps. Though she did not move towards the gates, the white magic moved in it's own accord, racing through her veins before finally manifesting in her hands.

Upon hearing Elika's remark, the Prince immediately shot her a glare. " We can handle this? Hey, I'd rather have Ahriman and his gang sack a town than pick a fight with him and get killed. Staying alive with you around and Corrupted on our tail is hard enough without you looking for trouble." There was a short pause before he added something under his breath. "And keep your magic to yourself, would you? Do you want to attract attention to us?"

Elika suddenly went surprisingly quite, her magic returning to it's source deep inside her as quickly as it came. "I'm sorry...I...I know the risks, but we can't just sit by and watch while a whole town in slaughtered!" The princess groaned in frustration. "I want to help them...we should help them...but it may be too risky." Elika bowed her head in defeat, guilt swelling up inside her.

"Then I will go." Micaiah said, while standing up tall. "Ive rested long enough, I can fight." She picked up her spell book, and opened it up. 'This one seems to be a demon, perhaps my light magic can subdu..' Then she suddenly felt light headed again. "Ah..." She slightly tipped around, but managed to get her balance back...barely. 'No, please...I must fight...'

"Hahahaha!" The beast laughed hard. "Pitiful. All of you cower before such minor attacks!" He threw one more fireball toward the town, scattering trophies everywhere. "Cowards. All of you! None are like the man that defeated me. Bring me Ryu Hayabusa!"

Elika was wracked with guilt. She could not abandon her duty...but innocent people where dying even as she hesitated. Will fought inside her mind..and soon an answer become clear. She tapped into the light deep inside of her, feeling it course through her as it appeared and danced in her hands. "I must try." She walked towards the gates, determination in her eyes. She would not let anyone die, even for the sake of her duty.

... And there she went. So much for survival being the primary concern. With a frustrated sigh, the Prince turned to Micaiah. "Stay here. We're going to need someone alive to bury our bodies." Drawing his sword, the Price followed Elika towards the city gates. "I swear she is going to be the death of me..."

"W.wait!" She cried out, as she tried to reach for one of the two. But then feel flat on her front and sighed. "...maybe, just a short rest..." The silver haired maiden then curled up into a ball, falling asleep quickly. As her loyal bird stood guard. *chirp chirp*

He started up another fire ball as he flew to a different location, allowing everything to catch on fire. "I claim this fort in the name of Vazdah, the archefiend!" He flew up to the top, allowing his voice to rumble down to the bottom. "For any of those brave enough to oppose the greater fiends, climb this tower in search of me!"

"Well, you heard the demon..." Elika grumbled as she reached the bottom of the tower, turning to only see The Prince following her. "You don't have to fight, you know..."

The Prince simply shrugged in response. "Hey, after all you've put me through, I'm not about to let you die against something that isn't even actively after us." Looking upward, the Prince cuffed his hand around his mouth and shouted. "Hey, ugly! Does being stupid enough to oppose the greater fiends qualify?"

The monster looked down at the Prince, "Stupidity and bravery are one in the same." Zedonius laughed. "Who might you be? And what makes you so bold, or as you put, stupid enough to challenge a greater fiend?"

The Prince let out a single laugh. "Yeah, like I'm going to tell some unholy spawn of the darkness what my name is. I've already got Ahriman on my case, I don't need this Vazdah guy after me as well. As for your second question, ask her," he said, jabbing his thumb at Elika, "this was her bright idea. I'm just the guy with the sword."
