The Ultimate Decision!

"I don't know....I was sent down here against my will and then I woke up near the ruins...."

"Then i wont wish it until u remember"

"wish what? remember?" *still kinda outof it*

"That whatever realm i reside in remains free of chaos. and remember about ur family."

"oh, ok...." Akira starts to drift back in and out of conciousness from exhaustion* "Wha....t about...t..he wi...shes he ma..de?"

Smiles "If i understand correctly, he never recieved his wishes, he died before u could hold up ur side of the deal, so all those payments were reversed"

"no...they left and went to other people. They are out there somewhere....." *Starts to fall asleep*

As the fox falls asleep, Demazee places her left palm on the symbol on his head and chants softly, reversing the flow of magic with time. After she is sure that the spell succeeded, she lays back against a rock face and falls asleep, reserves taxed by the strain of the magic

*As Akira dreams, snips of his past come to him but nothing really makes sense.*

At the same time, Demazee dreams of the charred world from which she came, and of the turmoil that broke otu

As mourning came, Akira woke, breaking in a huge sweat not sleeping much....

Demazee is still fast asleep, past the point of dreams

*akira looked over at the young angel who had helped him and walked over. He could see she was in as much pain as he was. He rested hi head on her chest and listen to her heart. It sounded pure and untarnished from the world.* ~I wish I could just grant her dream to her, but everything has a price....~ *The mantra the higher ups pounded into him before they sent him here, but why? Why was he sent here to cause nothing but trouble? Why could he not remember his past clearly? Listening to her heart, he began to drift away into sleep.*

The two figures slept the night in the pass, a protective aura blanketing them

*sleeps soundly*

As the sun rises over the landscape, Demazee stirs, waking and placing the still sleeping fox on my cloak as i greet the new day

*feels the warmth of the cloak and falls deeper asleep*

Sitting crosslegged facing the sun as it rises over the horizon, Demazee meditates

*slowly wakes and sees dema meditating and lays quietly, doing his own meditation*

Demazee smiles, eyes still closed and facing away from akira. "good morning akira"

*smiles* "Good morning. I hope you slept ok."

"My slumber was, adequate. How about the young fox?

"It was ok. I saw my family again...."

As the sun clears the horizon, Demazee turns around to face the fox. " Did you remember anything else?"

"The elders, they were there. They must have wanted me to do this for some reason. I'll I really remeber is someone saying, 'Every wish has a price'"
