The Past

## Story

Shadow looks around and then folds his wings against his back and uses his basic control of his full senses to try and calm his heart that started to race.

Kryis notices voices in the distance but stays calm and relaxed so she walks out and moves into the next area and sees a lot of monsters in the distance and no one in the area except near the bottom of the Cliff.

After quickly calming himself down Shadow follows her but keeps his weapons where they are not wanting to make things difficult if they can avoid it.

Kryis jumps up and follows the path down leading to the first of two groups of 3 Imps and 4 Birds. Kryis attacks the Birds using Wild Thunderstorm that hits all the birds and 2 imps easily killing them.

Shadow holds back looking around to see what he should do. He knows that Kryis can handle these weak enemies.

Kryis takes out the enemy as her turn came before it could attack so she killed it with her whip attack Whip Slap.

Then after the fight they make it to the next spot and Kryis sees the same group of enemies but closer to each other she uses her spell Wild Thunderstorm and it kills all of the enemies in that group leaving no more enemies they make it to the bottom of the cliff and Kryis sees a Male standing there he looks human but has Wings on his back she speaks to him and he says I am a Fallen Angel and my name is Lucas I am here to protect the cliff but I am now done with my job and about to head home to the village I am from would you and your friend want to come Kryis looks at Shadow to see what he wants to do.

Shadow just feels that his focus is slipping the longer he is here and shakes his head and then does a quick check of his weapons and then nods to Kryis that he is ready to go where ever she goes so its up to her.

Kryis along with Shadow walk with Lucas to the village. Lucas tells Kryis that he is a Spearman/Guard but he knows that there is way to much trouble here so he is thinking about going around to each area but first he needs to ask the village elder so when Kryis along with Shadow and Lucas see the elder in the village the elder tells Lucas to stay here as he is not strong enough to go so the Elder asks Kryis and Shadow to take care of all the trouble there are 4 monsters that are stronger then most here and none of the people are able to beat them Kryis agrees to help them and he said that there is a Guide that will go with you to show you around the places so he calls in a female Fallen Angel named Ornela he says that she knows where all the area's are and knows where the monsters are but please protect her as she doesn't fight Kryis looked over at Shadow and then told the elder that okay we will make sure she is safe and then he said she will go with you everywhere and anywhere you go she will go with you Kryis looked down and noticed that Ornela was her first of the ten recruits in the past and said we should break for a bit to prepare then set out.

Shadow looks around and then grabs the Blade of Origins and then moves it to his hip and then he sighs. He walks a bit away from everyone to try and figure out why he feels something wrong with himself.

Kryis and Ornela speak about what else they will come across then Ornela says there is a missing female Fallen angel Noble she has been missing for a while but then Kryis asks about other possible people Ornela says that will be a surprise but there are many people here that can help so Kryis said okay let go and get Shadow and head to the first place Ornela said the first problem is a Castle Town to the south they have a Monster that is not beatable and it has killed many people but we need to go around first by going on a bridge to that area from here lets go.

Shadow focuses on what is going on. He started to feel that there may be more dragons here than in his normal time.

Kryis now with Shadow and Ornela make it to the bridge that leads to the area they must go and they see that it's destroyed and there is no way to cross it.

"Naturally they break off the normal mode of moving around. If you want I can fly you over the gap." Shadow says.

Kryis says as long as you don't over do it we can do that Shadow.

Shadow quickly judges the gap and then says " Yeah this will be easy unless there is something that I should know about this gap like a magical barrier?"

Kryis says there is no barrier I would be able to tell that and then Ornela said Magic no one in that town knows it so I am sure there is no barrier.

Shadow nods and then he flys them across the gap and lands on the other side only to have the feeling of something being wrong get stronger. He pushes that away and focuses on helping Kryis.

Kryis and Ornela then see in the distance there destination and so they enter the only place before hand a small camp of people to see if there is anyone there that can help them before going to the first area needed to be taken care of and by defeating the monster located there.

Shadow lets his hand rest on the hilt of his sword and follows them saying nothing but seeing everything around him.

Once there Kryis and Ornela notice a female Vampire Hunter Human named Loreille. Ornela introduced her to Kryis and Shadow and told her that these 2 are here to help get ride of the problems and that was when Loreille agreed to help out then said that no matter what she will come with as there is many of not only Vampires that are bad but enemies and she will stay and help out no matter what. Kryis checks and sees her name listed as the second character to join and then says she will stay even after helping because she knows there is more problems and it's better if she helps as it will be easier for her to stay with people that can help her then alone.

Kryis now with Ornela and Shadow as well as Loreille they prepare to leave to the next area.

Shadow keeps a good grip on his senses as he feels something different about the feeling as it gets stronger. \* What ever it is that is giving me these feelings it has dragon blood I can tell that much.\* He focuses back on the group and smiles.

Kryis and the girls are ready to go and begin to walk toward the area that has the first enemy to take down they make it to a castle town to the south and Kryis says this feeling is more of a dragon and not an enemy then from afar Kryis sees a Wolf trying to kill the dragon she can tell he is a knight but also knows he is her ally and that she needs to get up there and make sure he lives.

As they draw closer Shadow stops and then looks behind him at a second dragon that had shown up out of no where. He could tell that she knew that he was a half dragon. He motioned for the others to continue on without him. He had a feeling that this might be a risk for the others to be around.

Kryis along with Ornela and Loreille make it to where the wolf is. Kryis tells Loreille and Ornela to take him to safety she has a plan to get this dragon to calm down she decides to warp on the back of the dragon and pierce it with the Ice Dagger she got from Seesa and she holds on tight.

"Halflings should never be allowed to live. its worse that you have a scent closer to his." the female growled at Shadow.

"Just like the rest. Try me and see how I survived this long." Shadow says with a smile. The dragon looks at him and then walks up to him and says " Your young but strong and you have a weapon that few have ever even heard of. My name is Valkyrie most know me as Val though. Have you by chance seen some one calling themselves Slovnic." Shadow nods and she growls low and then says "I will travel with you just to find him."

Kryis sitting in top of the dragon that was fighting the wolf was finally able to calm him down. The Dragon was finally calm and then landed and stopped going crazy and out of control once Kryis got off he flew away from the area back to where the Dragon's live to get a proper rest. Kris then goes to check on the Wolf who says thank you for saving my life. My name is Larzo I am a Knight as you can see but this castle town is to corrupt that it doesn't care about the civilians and I want to protect people not watch them die let me come with you and I will stay to make sue that you are safe as well as your people. Kryis agrees to let him join and he joins them.

Kryis waits for Shadow to come and meet up with them.

"I already hate you. My name is Shadow now lets get going." He then starts to walk away and as he does he feels her move to attack him and drops to the ground and rolls to the side. " Look I'm not easy to kill so just don't try." He then takes to the air to locate Kryis and when he lands Val lands next to him and growls.

"You work with those that killed our race?" " No I work with those that allied with our race."

Kryis tells Larzo she is no healer but your in no need of any serious healing so you will be fine as your wounds are nothing more then scratches that can be patched up so I will work on patching you up. Kryis patches up Larzo then looks over at Shadow and a female he is with and says to Shadow welcome back. The dragon I didn't kill only hurt him so he couldn't hurt any more people he flew away I think we should set up a camp for the night as Larzo needs to heal from his wounds and then you can tell me who this person with you is.

"I hate Humans for their crimes in the past. You will answer for what they did to my proud race" the dragon growl and lunges at Kryis. Shadow in a flash slams her to the ground and then puts the Blade of Origins to her throat and then growls " You try that ever again and you will not see the blade that kills you like you see it now. I will keep her safe. She is not from your time so she can't be blamed for the past. Slovnic killed his past foe and then said that the future couldn't be blamed for the past."

Kryis tells Shadow what is her problem I have many friends that are dragons and if I was heartless I would have killed the one that attacked the village but I didn't as I cherish my friends so do what you need to do is not attack me as not all humans are alike some have gone through the same thing you have if you would have asked me I would have told you I am the last Summoner alive you wouldn't have known that but the people that destroyed my home were of mixed races not just human but Elf and Dragons as well.

Val growled at Shadow and then tried to force him off of her. Shadow pushed down a bit harder and then said " just calm down and relax. Don't fight me or those that I work with." He then backs away from her and she stands up and turns to him and says " you are holding back a lot of power young blood. You summoners are only trouble" she says when she turns back to Kryis and then lowers her left wing to show a large scar on the tip of the wing. " This was done by one of you for no good reason."

Kryis walks over to the woman and tells her I am not my classes sour apple all people have people in there race or clan that are evil but what i do know is if a summoner gave you that scar a summoner can heal it as well I may not be a white mage summoner as I became a black mage summoner but some of my summons can heal you and that scar completely gone I am not my people you can ask me later if you want that to happen I would not mind doing it because I am not my people. Kryis helps Ornela and Loreille set up camp so Shadow can talk to to the woman and Larzo can relax.

Shadow takes a vial out of his pouch and hands it to Val and says " drink that it will heal the slight wound I gave you. If not then you can enjoy bleeding out for a long time." Val looks at it and then slips into a human form and then drinks the vial. She then hands it back to him and asks " why do you help her?" " She took in a halfling with out knowing what she was getting into. So I chose to protect her."

Kryis puts up the tents with ease then she gets up and stretches before checking on Larzo and helping him up to move him inside one of the tents.

After a few hours Shadow sits down and then started to focus on calming his mind down again.

Val curls up in her dragon from and then watches him.

Kryis lets Ornela and Loreille have the other tents and stands up thinking to herself what the woman said happened to her about her wing she kept it to herself then Kryis walked away from the camp with a bow in hand to gather some food for the morning.

"So why are you watching me as I re-focus my self." "Your a mystery to me. Your the only halfling I have seen living and your far stronger than most people"

Kryis fights many battles fighting many boar in the area she fights 4 groups of boar and has enough food to last them until they leave so Kryis then walks back with all four sets of boar meat and she then prepares it so everyone will have something to snack on while walking to the next area and will then not have to complain she puts up the boar meat 2 at a time and begins to cook them all with ingredients that only summoners know about that make the boar meat taste better. She continues until she is finished with all the boar meat she then puts them in bags for everyone else so they have something to eat.

Shadow and Val smell the food and make up their minds to not eat the meat and just hunt for themselves

Kryis sees them leave then thinks to herself it's not hard to ask for there food then she sits near the camp fire and thinks to herself that there has to be a reason to why that woman hates Kryis and that is not because of her being a summoner or a human. So Kryis thinks a bit and then hears Krace tell her that there is a Summon named Ivan in the Vampire Village but he will join you later in the present your next location is the Vampire Village where an Evil Vampire named Zanderoth he will try to kidnap you as he wants all girls that are human so keep that to yourself and make sure not to tell Shadow.

"Your aware that she is in a lot of danger back here right?" "Yes I know more that Krace wants me to know. I don't really care what they have planed but I will do my best to keep her safe. But if she wants me to I will take my leave for a while. I have things back here that I need to find as well. I can tell that Slovnic is here and I need to talk with him."

Kryis continues to talk to Krace about the Vampires when Ramity tells her that they are from her world of Kartia and Ivan was her bf there she knows Ivan will not hurt Kryis but doesn't know about the others Krace then tells her you have a lot to do but you will get through it just relax and you will be fine. Kryis relaxes and then waits for Shadow to return with the woman he left with.

Shadow sighs and then says " I will find the answers that i'm looking for even if I have to leave Kryis to do it." " I know how you feel and I will help you if I can." they get back and Shadow glances over at Kryis and then just sits back down.

Kryis gets up and walks over to Shadow she tells him what is coming up and tells him there next location is the Vampire Village Loreille will need to be kept in check as not all vampires are evil but the one that is will try too take me his name is Zanderoth and he is as I said the bad seed of the race. Also how was your hunt with her.

Val looks at her and then gives a light growl of welcome and then puts her head back down.

"It was fine since we had time to talk. She will be more welcoming of you. I will be on guard in the next area." Shadow says keeping a lot of their conversation private.

Kryis gets up and said well it would be nice for her to stop acting like she is the only one with problems also if she plans to stay introduction is in order like her name and her class it will make it easier to know instead of calling her just her or she.

"Valkyrie and I will work together from now on. We have something in common for a goal."Val raised her head and looked at him and then said. "Shadow thank you for what you have said but I will introduce myself to the others tomorrow."

So it's Valkyrie okay fine I will let her introduce herself in the morning and lets hope she doesn't do anything crazy like attempt to kill a member in the present that just so happens to be in the past. Also it would be great to know what her class/job is so we don't forget. Kryis then walks over to the camp fire and sits back down and focuses on what will happen next.

"Val you sure you still don't want to join up. I know that your not in my time so that means that at some point you will die in this time line. We could fix that by taking you with us" She looked at him and then said " I will think it over Shadow just give me some time please." they both lay back down and fall asleep.

Kryis lays down near the fire and falls asleep. Kryis wakes up early to make sure everything is ready to go when they head to the next location.

Shadow is up before Val and cooks some of their food for them and then when she wakes up he goes with her to introduce herself to the group. She says her name and that she is much like Shadow or Slovnic being a Warrior of great skill.

Ornela, Loreille and Larzo all wake up and they walk out and listen to Valkyrie and then they all say where to next Kryis said we are headed to where the Vampires live next one of the vampires is causing a lot of trouble and if he is not stopped soon all the vampires will be killed off.

Loreille then says so I get to kill off many vampires Kryis tells her no we are only going after the one as not all vampires are evil if We can get this one taken care of we can keep going and possibly make it to were the Vampires can trust other races we just need them to let there bad seed go.

Kryis gives them there bags of food then tell Loreille not to do anything crazy just stay normal.

Shadow and Val walk side by side and keep looking over the group. Shadow makes up his mind that if Loreille tries to attack any but the one they are going to find his will take her out and make sure she cant do anything until they find the one they need to kill and then after that be sure to get her under control when that are done with that one vampire.

Kryis walks in the front and keeps everyone else behind her and head out to the east to a cave leading to 2 areas where both the vampires and the dragons live but will first take the path to the vampires. Kryis walks into the cave and can sense the area with the dragons as she hurt one so they take the other path leading to the Vampires.

Shadow focuses in on the Dragon side and feels the presence of Slovnic. He sighs and follows Kryis.

Kryis makes it to the end of the cave and then sees that they are close to the Vampire Village once they make it there Kryis can already tell who the person that needs to be looked for is as she sees him in the distance but first she speak to the leader and when she does she notices that Ivan is the one leading them and Ivan is able to sense that Ramity is also with Kryis and tells her that he is willing to help her out and will but first needs to make sure that a Vampire named Zanderoth doesn't try to do something that will effect all the others so he says I will make sure everything is comfortable for you and then walks out and goes to check on the progress of the lodging for Kryis's team.

Kryis walks outside the hut that Ivan was staying in and then Zanderoth comes close to Kryis and says soon you will be mine is what he says before he goes to his place before anyone can grab him.

Shadow wait well away from the others with Val just to have a better position to catch up with the group if they get into trouble.

Kryis then finds Ivan and tells the others to wait here as she needs to talk more to Ivan. So the others wait inside the Lodging and then Kryis walks with Ivan and tells him that Ramity is fine and that she is in the Summon World. Ivan then tells her thanks and you are a great person for not being afraid of being here. Kryis says we need to make sure Zanderoth tries to do what he wants and she knows he will not live and tells that to Ivan. Ivan tells her that he knows this as well and is fine with it he said a Vampire will be leaving with you as well I trust him he is very strong and you will meet him in the morning Kryis said okay then Ivan said I know I am a summon but I want you to obtain me in your time Kryis agreed and said that is fine.

Ivan walks back to his his place when Zanderoth comes close to Kryis she tells him you can try to hurt me but it won't work. Kryis uses a a new fire spell called Flaming Slice it cuts the enemy in the spot necessary but also covers whatever spot in flames so Kryis aims for his eyes and then watches him catch fire.

Zanderoth grabs hold of Kryis and warps her to his place and begins to scream from the fire in his eyes.

Shadow feels the movement of Kryis but also feels that Slovnic has moved closer to them. He quickly decides that Kryis is okay and if she needs him she can reach him at any time. So he stands up and goes after Slovnic's past form.

Kryis attacks Zanderoth with her Flaming Vortex spell it does even more damage to him. He soon can't even see where Kryis is and that is when Ivan comes in a does his Overdrive as a Summon called Vampiric Purification it lets him cleanse the body of anything and make it normal again he does it and it works on Zanderoth it has double the effect on Vampires. Ivan takes Zanderoth back with him and then completes the purification and then Kryis walks out and also senses Slovnic in the area and hopes to make sure that Valkyrie doesn't do something stupid so she warps to the area and it's north of the Vampires Village and appears to make sure nothing bad happens to Slovnic in the past.

Shadow lands near the area that he can feel the presence of Slovnic. He looks around and then smiles when he sees him in the distance. Val having followed him lands next to him. " You know that he is not going to answer the questions you have at this time. He never does."

Shadow nods and then walks towards Slovnic who stands and then faces him but makes no move for the weapons at his hips. " You can tell who I am can't you?" " naturally I can. time is not a thing to mess with lightly but yet you have come here with questions and with the one that wants me dead more than any other Shadow. Come and I will show you what it is that you want to know."

"Val stay here and take care of Kryis please. I will be gone for a while." He then walks forward and he and Slovnic both vanish from the area.

Kryis appears and sees Val and then says I guess Shadow went with him no matter I am heading back to the Vampire village to wait with the others. Kryis then warps back to the vampire village and walks into the house Ivan gave to her allies they all wait a bit till Ivan comes over with there vampire ally.

Val sighs and then takes to the air. She flies back and lands outside the area. She lays down and closes her eyes for a while.

Shadow and Slovnic are both standing on a mountain far away from everyone. " I know that you want to know why I would stay in a world that was recovering when I could have gone and joined with those I loved. But the real question is why did you stay with her. The answer to both is that we didn't have anything better to do at the time. I still had a mission but you didn't have anything to do at all so you signed up to help. You didn't have what it took to aid them so I gave you the weapon that would help you do that." They spend a few more hours talking and then Slovnic warps Shadow back to Val.

Ivan walks in with the ally that the Vampires are going to give to Kryis in the Past Loreille was not happy about traveling with a vampire but Kryis told her that as I told you before not all Vampire are evil and not all humans are nice either so deal with it, Ivan then told him to introduce himself. He says my name is Garland I am a General in the Vampire Army and I am also one of the oldest Vampires hitting up a the age of 400 I am still fast enough to keep up with everyone else lets hope someone keeps up and doesn't do anything stupid. Kryis accepts Garland and lets him come with them. Ivan tells him to protect the house until her other allies come back so they can then leave.

Shadow and Val walk together back to stand outside but wait for the others to come and find them. " I will be leaving for a long while when we get back so please don't kill Slovnic when you see him in the future. He is the one that I leave in my place to help this group while I go to train my self with my new skills. When I come back I will help you however I can but until then don't do anything stupid." Val nods to him and then says " Your strange for a halfling. Why do you care so much for either of us?" " That is a question I will answer later."

Kryis and the others walk out and tell Garland they are ready to go so they are walking out and Garland says what is your next destination. Kryis says the next place we are going to is the Dragon Area we need to go back inside the cave and go the other way to the place where the Dragons are Garland says okay then they see Shadow and Valkyrie and they tell them the Dragon area is next we need to head back to the cave and go the opposite direction for the 3rd enemy that needs to be either hurt or killed.

Before they leave Ivan appears and tells Kryis that she will obtain him as a summon in her time so until then he will be teaching his vampires that it's okay to trust humans. Kryis nods her head and thanks Ivan then walks into the cave with the others and they make it back to the path and they take the one that leads to the Dragon Area.

Val snarls at them all and then moves a bit closer to Shadow. " Sorry Kryis can you give us a moment. "

Shadow and Val walk away from them and start to talk quietly enough that they cant be heard.

Val looks at him and then says " Shadow you know they will never stand a chance in there with out you." "Val I know what I would end up doing would drive me insane. I know just who is there and I wont risk bringing him back early. His death in my time would be undone if he sensed me just like Slovnic did. I won't let Sol ravage this world and i'm no where near strong enough to fight him." Val cringed at the mention of his name and then looked to the group and said " but what about them?" " Kryis is far stronger than she looks. Sol needs a Dragon soul to take their body right now. They will be fine but if you want to we can go with them just to help." Val lowers her head and then says " Yes they will need us and Sol left the area a while ago. That is the main reason i'm hunting Slovnic. He let the bastard get away." "Fine Val we will go with them but if anything happens that puts me or you in danger i'm getting us out of there." They then walk back and join the group again ready to head out.

Kryis knows that they have something planned so Kryis and the the other know what will happen so Kryis remembers a spell while waiting for Shadow and Val to make it back to the group the spell protects the people that have a chance of getting taken over so it protects them from entering an area dangerous to them so she casts it on the cave exit they are heading for without telling Shadow or Val the spell is called Time Protector and it Protects them until they are safe and then it drops the barrier.

Shadow and Val both follow the group but they are careful not to let them selves get to comfortable with the situation. They would be traitors in the eyes of the older dragons.

Kryis and the others get close to the exit and she is the last to walk out before Shadow and Val once she does she immediately turns around and says to them you can't come the barrier I put up will protect you until you are safe and that you can't be taken control over sorry it's how it has to be bye. Kryis catches up to everyone else and she leaves Shadow and Val in the Cave.

Shadow smiles " I figured that she would do something like this." He then turns and says " lets go and find a nice place to sleep for a while." They walk away and Val lays down and goes to sleep while Shadow keeps watch.

Kryis and the others make it to the Dragon Village once there they go and talk to the elder to make peace so nothing bad happens while they are there they tell him that know of the Dragon in your clan causing a lot of trouble but I would like to tell you that not everyone one is the same. Kryis continues to talk to the elder for a bit before hearing about a Half Dragon Female that they plan to kill. Kryis tells him that they should spare her she can leave with me but don't kill her if you don't trust her one of your dragons can come with us as well to watch over her and make she she stays loyal.

Kryis looks in the elders eyes and nows tells him the truth that she is from the future and that she wants to help the past not be as bad the elder looks at her and then says walk outside.

Shadow draws his sword as he hears something coming towards them. He looks around and then drops his sword in shock at what he sees coming towards them. " I have to be dreaming this crap." He says as he watches himself draw closer. " Well hello young halfling. You don't have any thing to fear i'm just here to help you." They sit down and start to talk for a while.

The Elder says that the Dragons can't help you but that halfling will die so if you want to save her life and if you want to help us go to the mountain north of here and defeat the dragon there that is causing problems for us all do this and we will let you have her. Kryis says fine but I know what is up there so can my friends have a place here to rest and can she stay with them the Elder said yes and said to the dragons let her go and the Half Dragon told Kryis thanks my name is Maxine I owe you I will protect your friends until you get back then we can leave.

Kryis accepts Maxine as a member and then tells her people to wait here and she will go to the mountain herself to stop this dragon alone.

After a while Shadow nods and then says " Well thank you for telling me about that I know what I need to do now thank you." He then lays down and falls asleep.

Kryis makes it to the mountain and follows the path and she continues to climb up the mountain and make it to where she needs to go once there she notices that the dragon there is not weak but not strong either so she enters the room and sees Sol there and walks into the fight alone when she enters she automatically Summons Favela that will help her out when he gets 2 close and then she waits until he notices her then she tells him good luck.

"A mortal from a distant time has come to me. Well why don't you just curl up and die like that idiot Slovnic would have you all do." He rose and then snarled and used his magic to force her back out of his area and then he took to the air and flew out after her. "Mortals should never try and fight me they don't have any chance to kill me."

Kryis looks at him and says there is nothing in my way but you getting drained of live so good luck. Kryis then uses Favela and her combo attack called Phoenix's Rage Kryis was able to hit Sol with the attack and watched as his health drop to 1 and when Favela did her overdrive it kept his health at 1 but drained his strength completely then Kryis moved back to dodge Sol's attack.

Sol growled and then said " well let me show you a little trick I learned through the years." With a flash he vanished and then his power and heath returned to normal and he reappeared and then looked at Favela and with a smile drew back to attack the summon only to find his attack meet the blade of Slovnic. " I know that you can kill them but I won't let you kill creatures that are not of our time or our plane." Sol snarled and then slammed him to the ground and roared when he vanished only to hear the sound of another dragon coming into battle. " Bastard" Sol roared to the skies as he cursed Slovnic his eyes caught the new comer and he got ready to battle but before it arrived he used a bit of his more powerful magic to banish the Summons and then put up a field that would keep Kryis from summoning more.

Kryis feels a similar feeling from the time she struck the dragon at the same place Shadow fought Val and noticed a Human in the distance walking over to them with a cold emotion towards Kryis.

"Sol she is mine to kill not yours. You have tried to take my kill so I will fight at her side to kill you for now." Ragna says with a snarl at Sol.

"Well do your worst " Sol says with a laugh.

Kryis then looks at Sol and tells him you can't recharge now if I do the same attack with him here all he has to do is wound you and your done. Kryis uses Phoenix's Rage again and this time after her attack she warps on his back and stabs him with the Ice Dagger and then Favela attacks using her overdrive leaving the man that is helping her to take him down. Kryis begins to take a few deep breaths as using Phoenix's Rag takes a lot out of her.

Sol looks around at them and then smiles " fine for now I will just stop this game then." He lowers his guard and then in a flash he grabs Kryis by the neck and pulls her close and says " Your time will be mine even if you can kill me then I will come back to haunt you." He then throws her at Ragna and draws his sword. He charges them and vanishes and then lands next to Ragna and drags his blade down his shoulder and down to his hand. Ragna growls and then attacks Sol only to have Sol fall to the ground either dead or unconscious. "Lets get out of here just in case he still lives."

Kryis having been caught by the other man knew that Sol was faking but did nothing and when Slovnic, Kryis and the other man leave to jump down Sol vanishes to another area and they make it down to the village where Kryis gets to be with her allies.

Slovnic says good bye when they get back and then warps away. Shadow wakes up and wakes Val so they can wait for Kryis to come back together.

Kryis makes it to her group the elder comes out and tells her that you can take the Half breed and go with your allies and thanks for your help. Kryis is then seen a bit weak so Garland carries her back to the cave with Ragna following behind them.

Shadow feels that Sol has weakened in this time but he focuses on Kryis and notices that she has pushed herself harder than normal and pulls out one of his energy potions so that she can at least defend herself if need be.

Garland and the others walk into the cave and go through it to the other end with the man still following them and then they make it out and see Shadow and Val waiting for them.

Shadow looks at Kryis and then asks " Do you want this energy potion or would you rather have a nights rest?" Val looks at her and then snarls at the smell of Sol " you have meet the tainted one haven't you?"

Kryis replies with a nights rest will do me good and to answer your question Val yes and even weak he was tough if not for the one following us I don't think me or Slovnic would have made it.

"Had he not been a coward Slovnic could have done it but I can feel that he has left you again. Come here young one you need to rest and so do I. I know of a nice cave near here that is easy to defend." Val said as she started off towards the hills a few hundred yards away. Shadow nodded and then took up following Val. He could tell that her wound was hurting her but he could do nothing about it. The way things were going Kryis might just be able to help soon since Val was warming up to her.

Kryis then says what about everyone else what about them and the man that helped me what of him before staring at Val weakened and tired.

"It is a large cave on the inside but in a hidden location making it easy to keep safe." Val says back to her with a smile " Every one can fit in this cave."

Kryis then says I don't know the man that was following us when we came to where you two where but he seems familiar like maybe we have meet.

"You chased him off by attacking him. He is planning on attacking you but thinking about joining instead after watching your fight." Val says as they reach the cave. "Thank you for getting him away from me back then. Would have ended badly"

Kryis remembers then says I hope he joins then and doesn't decide to hurt me for what I did I never meant to hurt him then Kryis closes her eyes and falls asleep.

Val indicates an area near the wall for them to place Kryis. When they lay her on the ground Val lays a bit away but near enough to discourage anyone to try anything funny. Shadow sits down next to Val and say " You need to ask her to undo the damage or the wound will kill you." "I know and I will ask when she wakes but for now keep an eye on him." She indicates Ragna by moving her tail.

Kryis stays asleep and doesn't wake up for a few hours but during that time Loreille and the others are outside waiting to hear about what happened to Kryis and why the man is following her.

Shadow stands up and walks out to stand with the others he quickly explains what went on and then leave Ragna to explain everything else. he goes back in and sits down watching over both Val and Kryis.

The others traveling with Kryis listen to what Ragna has to say.

"A few of you may know of Sol. well he was there and we had to fight thats all any of you need to know." Ragna says and then turns and walks into the cave and sits down away from the others.

The others are waiting outside and after a few hours Kryis wakes up and looks over to Val and Shadow.

Shadow see that Kryis is awake but that Val has fallen asleep due to the weakness brought on by her wound. " Kryis can you please heal her wound she would ask you herself but she is growing weaker all the time."

Kryis tells Shadow sure and then tells him to move her closer to the fire so she can heal the wound by way of a spell only summoners know.

Shadow does as she tells him to. As he finishes moving her Val wake up and looks at him and then says " Whats going on?" " We are just healing you. It wont take long."

Kryis looks deep into the fire and then closes her eyes and remembers the spell and starts chanting the spell called Burning Wounds it restores all wounds that have been inflicted on someone and if a summoner left a wound it erases it completely and restores the wound to it's normal way before the wound and it's not a healing spell it's a Fire Spell that very little know.

Upon chanting the spell Kryis can't look to see if it is working but she does hear the screams coming from Val as her wound begins to heal.

When its done Val growls lowly at Shadow and Kryis. " Well I thank you for healing the wound but that was a lot of pain." "Pain is better than death." Shadow says and then helps Val to stand up.

Kryis gets up slowly but then gets a bit dizzy I guess that was a bit to soon she says then collapses.

Shadow catches her and then helps her to sit down. " I still have the energy potion if you want it." He says to her.

Kryis tells Shadow that you will need it don't waste one on me as you will need it.

"Kryis for the whole time that you have known me have you seen a time when I didn't have enough of all of my items to last for several weeks on me? I have a few dozen of these energy potions. They are easy to make so giving you one wont set us back at all. Now do you want one or not?" He says with a smile at her.

Kryis says yes I will take one and then smiles back at him.

Shadow hands her one and then says " after you drink it give it a few minutes to refresh all of your energy before you try to do any magic."

Kryis takes the potion and then waits a few minutes and talks to Shadow and Val before getting up once the few minutes passed.

"Kryis you will have to take some time to get used to not seeing me around and not being able to reach me when we get back to our time. I have something that I must do and will be leaving when we get back." Shadow says as he leaves the cave and leaves her with Val

Val looks at her and then shakes her head slowly. " That young one needs to work on his way of breaking news like that"

Kryis looks up to Val and says yeah but that is Shadow. Then she looks over and sees the man that followed them in the cave and asks him what his plans are and what his name is.

"My name is Ragna and I have no reason to let you go with out following you after you attacked me." Ragna says to her as he stands up and walks closer to them.

I attacked you at that time because you were attacking someone that was weakened and someone that could not handle your power plus you were in a village and you could have killed them that is why you where attacked Ragna.

"I don't care what your reasons were but i just don't have any real reason to stay here anymore." Ragna say.

Val keeps herself in between them just to keep Kryis safe.

So your following us to join us when we go to the present time I am from for more of a challenge or do you want revenge against me.

"I'm more interested in that halfling that you travel with. He is at least ten times stronger than you from what I have seen and felt." Ragna says as he walks over to the cave entrance.

So you are more involved in wanting to hurt Shadow then anything wow goes to how what level of man you are Kryis then shoves Ragna out the away and goes outside.

"It's not the hurting him than I want to study him and see what I can learn." Ragna says as he leaves after her.

Val follows them and sighs.

Kryis then tells Ragna if all you wanted was to join us to learn from Shadow and be of use to people and allies all you had to do is ask.

He just shakes his head and then just keeps walking till he is farther away from the group than Shadow.

Kryis tells the others that it is time we start heading out we still have 3 people including Ragna to convince to join us and then we can take on the last boss here and it's a Summon and it gets angered by the final recruit a Fallen Angel named Lucas but he can die as well so to stop him from dying we need to make it there fast.

Ragna looks at Shadow who is standing away from the group looking into the distance. When the group starts moving he follows but notices that Shadow and Val stay behind for a while.

"Time is a flimsy thing isn't it Val. I don't even know what i'm really doing here. I just felt something calling me to come here. I can feel that thing still but I cant place where it is" with that said he and Val followed the group as well.

Kryis and the others make it back to the area where there found Loreille and see a female Fallen Angel in a dress with a Bow in her hands saying that she is looking for someone a Wolf Priest and can't find him she was told to wait here but thinks the Priest went on by himself and if they can help look for him.

Kryis agrees and then the Fallen Angel says my name is Miranda I was sent to help him and now i can't find him. everyone splits up and Kryis finds him cornered by some civilians and then tells them to leave him alone if they don't want to get hurt she lights a ball if fire in her hand and then counts down from 3 the civilians run off and Kryis is able to bring him back with her and Miranda introduces to Kryis the Wolf Priest Heimholzin he and Miranda both agreed to join Kryis and the others and stay with them no matter what then they all prepare for the last battle with the summon to save the final recruit Lucas and to save everyone from the past the destruction this someone will bring once mad enough.

Shadow and Val still hang back from the group and suddenly Shadow turns and starts to walk away from the group. He keeps walking towards a hill far in the distance. " What the hell is this that I feel calling to me?"

Kryis and the others where ready and she tells them that it's a Summon next but it goes berserk and it will kill whatever comes near it if it's attacked we need to hurry there and fast.

Shadow lost in his own thoughts doesn't even notice that he has strayed quite far away from the group. By the time that he is at the hill he cant even see the group any more and still has no clue why he came over here in the first place.

Kryis and the others make it to the area and then see Lucas flying from where the Fallen Angel Village is and he lands right in front of them Kryis tells him wait and then he does as told and that is when the earth begins to shake a bit and the Summon appears.

"Glad to see you could make it young warrior" a voice calls from nowhere and yet every where around Shadow.

"Why am I here and what drew me to this place." "Your soul is that of a warrior and thus I sent out to you hoping that you would join me here for a while for some training." Shadow paused and then nodded as his knees gave out and he passed out.

Kryis is shocked to see that the summon is an Ancient Summon that is very strong and one of the strongest summons in the world. Kryis look at him and said I have heard about this summon before it's Razornoth the Ancient Beast Summon it has 2 Overdrives and it can kill anything pretty fast. He won't hurt you if you don't hurt him give me time and I will talk to him everyone else please wait back in town and I will be back soon.

Kryis tells Ragna and Val to take the others back to town including Lucas who joins them and she will deal with Razornoth by talking to him and helping him come to his senses before something happens.

Val shakes her head and lets the others leave but stays far enough away to not be a problem. She is more worried about where Shadow is since she cant sense him anymore.

Kryis stays with Razornoth and talks to him about his abilities and she shows him what would have happened had she let Lucas attack him he agreed that it would have been a disaster and tells her that he needs some time to think about what is going on and if she can wait while he thinks about it. Kryis tells him that he can take all the time he needs and then sets up a camp and relaxes as she worries about Shadow.

Shadow stands up from the ground with a groan. It had been quite a while since he had been beaten so quickly and thoroughly. " Your good but I don't have much time left in this time period. I have learned a lot already though so thank you for this training." The spirit in front of him smiles and then laughs before saying " well thank my father when you see him next and tell him that we are all still doing fine. Don't let him worry about us."The spirit fades and Shadow wakes up on the hill.

Kryis waits for Razornoth to come to his decision and then can sense that he choose to help her and can tell that even though he will be a very strong summon she won't have to fight him as he saw what would happen if he went berserk so he decided to become her Summon in the past to help her and when it comes to the present she will have saved an entire clan of people called the Bird Clan. Kryis touches Razornoth and then accepts him as a summon and sees that he dropped the Claw weapon Razornoth's Claw and he then goes to the Summon World and stays there.

Kryis slowly walks back to the town.

Val walks next to Kryis and stops when she sense Shadow again. She turns and looks to see him walking back towards them. " He seems different some how." She says to Kryis.

Kryis tells Val I can also sense that but if Shadow wanted us to worry about him or wanted us to know he would tell us.

Shadow looks at them and then turns and walks on his own still a ways away from them thinking of the things that he learned from the spirit.

Val nods and then says " well your lucky to have known him for so long. I don't know much but from what I have seen he is happy to be able to help you."

Kryis tells Val that Shadow is my very first ally he has been here for me the longest and has been there and saved me many times he has his own way of thinking and wants to keep getting stronger so he can be of use to his allies. Kryis walks a bit faster so they can make it to town by nightfall.

Shadow keep pace with them without even thinking about it. " Why would I have come here at just a call from a spirit from the past like that?" he mutters to himself.

Kryis makes it into town and finds her allies they all are there and ask her if she got Razornoth as a Summon and she said yes but two from this timeline will now appear in the present as well. The Vampire Leader Ivan and the other we will need to go see before we leave to make sure Lucas can come with us. So once we are rested we need to fly back to the Fallen Angel Village and talk to the Elder.

Shadow sits down away from the group and starts to meditate on everything that he learned today. Val comes and lays down next to him with a quiet sigh.

Kryis tells the others that once morning comes we will leave so lets go and rest so we can be ready for when morning comes.

Shadow smiles in his meditation. Val curls up near him and keeps her energy up.

Kryis closes her eyes and sees Krace and he tells her that Razornoth made it to the Summon World and he is ready to be of help when she comes back in the present and even says he boosted the Villages current level to be double the size as he is an Ancient Summon and they have there own area but are all strong summons and need there own area. Kryis tells Krace to watch after him and thanks him for watching after all the summons. Krace says no thank you and then tells her keep up the good work and then she smiles and falls asleep.

Shadow waits till they all fall asleep and then smiles as he stands up and leaves then to sleep in peace. he wanders off into the distance and then looks up at the night sky again.

Once morning came Kryis was the last to wake up and was still asleep when Shadow and the others where talking outside waiting for her to wake up.

"I'll meet all of you out by the gate to the present time. I'm not in the mood to go traveling around this time anymore see you all there." He and Val stay side by side and continue to wait for Kryis.

Kryis wakes up and said we need to cross the bridge back to the fallen angel town so we can talk to the elder before going back about Lucas.

Shadow tells her his and Val's plan and then says " I know that you don't need me around all of the time so I will wait for you there."

Kryis told them how do you think we can cross if both of you leave Ragna will have to go for many trips just to bring us to there remember there is no bridge.

"When you get there we will help you cross. That is the point that we will be at. we wont be traveling with the group until that point though. you have a few stops that we would rather not stop at." Shadow says to her.

Kryis walks off with everyone but Shadow and Valkyrie as they decide to go ahead the others take there time and gather there items then slowly heads over to the bridge.

Shadow nods to Val as they take to the air. The main reason that he had them separate from the group is so that he could gather a few items from Val's cave before they left. When they have all the items they will need they fly to where they said they would meet the group and sit down to wait.

Kryis makes it to the Oasis between the village and the bridge and she then sees that Ragna was a bit angry about how Kryis let Shadow and Val leave for a bit but Kryis said they will stop here and she spoke to Ragna and told him they will be back and as you heard they will meet us at the bridge.

"How the hell can you know that he wont just leave you alone. He is a halfling that should never have been left alive." Ragna says with a growl. " You don't have any way of knowing if he will come back and try to kill you or not. He is a dragon mixed with human that corrupts his loyalty."

Kryis says Maxine is a Half Dragon as well and she is here and Shadow always comes back I know he has done this before Ragna I know he will be able to come back. I also know he wants to go back to the present time as he wants to go on a short journey alone as well there so I know he will be back and his mother wouldn't let him just stay here as she will be very angry at him if he stays.

" His mother lives!" Ragna roars in anger " What has happened to the dragons of your time that that would ever be tolerated."

His father is the strong human and his mother is an ally as well named Selian he saved me from his father who tried to kill me because of Sol but we fixed everything up but Drelon has not joined us yet. Kryis looks Ragna in the eyes and tells him to calm down there is nothing to gain from the anger.

"How could my race devolve into such a state that would let them be fine with letting a Halfling live?" He asks sadly.

Kryis looks deeper into Ragna's eyes and tells him Shadow is the very last Half Dragon there are no more many dragons have tried to kill him and many people shun him because of what he is I am not like that Ragna you shouldn't be either.

"What of the one that they call Slovnic. He is pure dragon what is his view on this matter?" Ragna asks her.

Shadow is from the same bloodline as Slovnic so he is perfectly fine with it and he even helps him train to get stronger so there is no hate between the two Kryis says to Ragna.

"Then how is it that we have rules against the halflings if one such as him can be so strong that it makes us look weak?" Ragna asks as he walks away confused by the rules of his own race.

Kryis grabs Ragna's arm and says not even I know that answer maybe you should ask Shadow or Val when they get back or maybe in my time ask Shadow's Mother she is the Elder of the Dragons we have yet to go there but we will soon.

Ragna looks at her and then takes her hand off of his arm and says " I dont know it I could get over what I was trained for several hundred years but I will at least try."

Kryis tells Ragna you never told me how old you where and I am truly sorry about what i did to you before and all you can do is try and forget no one is asking you to forget in one day.

Ragna nods and then goes to join the others so that they are all ready to go.

Kryis and the team make it to the bridge after a short break at the Oasis and wait for Shadow and Val to make it there hoping they come soon.

Shadow and Val stand up and walk over to them and ask if they have done everything that they need to do and are really ready to get going.

Kryis tells them yes and asks if they got everything they needed from Val's Cave.

Shadow smiles not at all surprised by her knowing that and says " yes we did." he then nods to Val and says " She can carry more than i can so climb on but if any of you hurt her you have me and Kryis to answer to."

Kryis says well Ragna can carry some as well and we can split it easily as Ornela, Miranda and Lucas and Maxine can fly over there and wait while that leaves only Me, Loreille, Larzo, Heimholzin, and Garland that need to get across and I was thinking that Val can take Lorille and Heimholzin across then Larzo and Garland can be taken across by Ragna and then Me getting helped across by you Shadow.

"Sounds fair to us" Shadow says with a smile. He stands at the edge waiting for Kryis.

The remaining people get on the person that will take them across will all ready to go Kryis moves closer to Shadow and then says lets go.

Shadow takes to the air and lifts Kryis across the the gap.

Kryis thanks Shadow with a hug and then a smile then says once everyone else is here we can head to the Fallen Angel Village as I need to talk to the elder and Lucas needs to come with me as well so we can officially take him with us.

Shadow nods as the others land next to them a few of them look a bit scared but Shadow just starts walking forward.

Kryis then moves forward but not before she makes sure the others are better then she walks forward and walks towards the Fallen Angle Village once inside Kryis and Lucas walk into the elders place and Kryis asks the elder if Lucas can go with them now the elder agrees to let him go as he told Kryis I saw him dying so by you saving him and keeping him alive he is your ally now and also Lady Summoner Kryis I am the Fallen Angel Summon Mordecai I will appear in your time in the area you go to next. Kryis said okay and then walks out the elders place with Lucas and says now we can leave and head back to the present so lets go.

Shadow waits outside with Val. When Kryis comes back out Shadow starts walking with Val.

Kryis says we are ready to go so she walks ahead and makes it back to the Cliff they came from and they make it back to the spot where she and Shadow appeared from.

Shadow take a moment and then sighs. "It will be a while before you see me again when we get back to our time."

Kryis tells Shadow what do you think Drelon will do when we get back.

"He will likely stick around mother so he will join you for all I know." Shadow says.

Kryis says okay and as for you don't forget you have a home at my base everyone will be there for your return but some of us will be heading to the northern lands furthest north of the Land of Orc's.

Shadow nods and then says " I may not be coming back for years because of this training that I need to do."

Kryis says that is fine just remember we will be waiting for your return. Then Kryis says to everyone go on through once everyone is through we will be back in the present time.

Shadow waits for everyone else to leave and then says to Kryis " The time that I have spent with you has been good but this is where we part ways. I'm not coming back to your base with you. I have a different location that I will return to our time in." He then steps into the rift between times and appears back near his old home. He looks to the village at the base and then takes to the air and flies away towards a river that he knows of near the village.

Kryis and the others appear in the cave Kryis takes the key out that starts the Machine and then they walk out the cave and everyone but Shadow is there and then she asks Valkyrie and Ragna to help the others that can't cross across and Miranda, Ornela, Lucas, and Maxine all fly across while Valkryie takes Loreille and Heimholzin across and then shifts back to normal while Ragna takes Kryis, Larzo and Garland across then he shifts to normal and they wait a bit before appearing near Selian and Drelon along with Shade and Broventhor.

## Notes

* The other 2 Summons from The Past are Ivan the Vampire Lord and Mordecai the Fallen Angel they are meet in The Past but join in the present time.
* Upon saving the Bird Clan was saved and now are unlocked and saved in Kryis's timeline as they would have been still dead had she not sent Lucas with the others and because of Lucas being alive that saves that race as well.
* The Past can still be gone back to but not as a part of the main story. It can only be accessed by either DLC or once the story is complete The Past can be gone back to.
