(...a faint voice is heard nearly at the base of the last agonizing landings of the long shafts of the Fort; while short footsteps echoes behind every thump of the young man's heart beat...) ????- ...alone...darkness seems to follow me....where ever I go...::breathes::.who am I? Where did I really come from..? I'm...so...cold....but for some reason my body is warm. I haven't eaten in days now....I should be hungry. I guess only Hope can answer these questions. (...the echoes of footsteps silences, as the boy comes to a stop and directs his attention towards the top of the spiraling stairwell...) .::begins to climb the stairs again::. Almost there...almost..there.... (...it seems to take hours upon hours to reach, but the boy finally takes the last step that the stairwell had to offer. He is embraced by the bluish hue of the holy bliss of Hope. The jewel seemed to glow brighter as it became graceful upon his accent and presence to the holy ground... A cloaked man is seen to the right of the jewel of Hope...the man slowly turns around and stares into the boys eyes as he, and his cloak slowly fades away along with a plea of help...) Cloaked man- ...find me, Zero ...together we can stop the "war"... .::completly fades into the darkness as he close his majestic red eyes::. ...take the jewel of Hope....it'll protect you and you'll protect it.....you're the only one now... (...just as the last trace of the cloaked man vanishes, the tower begins to rumble...the stairs shake and crumble into dust as though it was built of sand alone..the boy begins to panic just as a section of the roof breaks away from its rafter... an angry red sky can be seen. as the clouds break, streaks of gold fall from the heavens...) Zero- It's starting...they have arrived...the Arch Angels have heard our cries... (...he grabs the Jewel of Hope and places it in-between his teeth, knowing it might fall out one of his pockets when he'll run...he then jumps from the ledge. his eyes begin to glow a calm blue then quickly turns to a bright red as the boy concentrates...stairs that took days to climb only took just a few minutes to decend... just as Zero's feet touch the ground a ripple is seen flowing from the top of his head to the bottom of his ankles as the appearance of a young man reforms into a wolf-type beast...the beast then falls to all fours and begins to run towards the tower's entrance...with the Jewel of Hope tightly clenched in his teeth, Zero merely escapes the collapsing tower...he stops at a safe distance away from the falling tower to watch as it sinks into the earth and forever vanish from the sky...) Harsh voice- GIVE IT BACK! Zero- huh? ::turns around to see whose there:: (...all of a sudden Zero is engulfed in a golden light...the light quickly fades to black as a young beautiful woman is seen laying on a bed of hay...her mutterings are drowned out by her sobbing...her head lays to the left of her body... in her right hand rest a lighter snuggled between her finger tips...clicks and sparks could be heard from her hand...) Zero- NOOO!!! DON'T DO IT! sobbing woman- :::turns her head to the right of her body so she can see Zero::: :::smirks gracefully::: I....m......so.....c-...cold.. (...a final click is heard from her hand as she finally sparks a flame...the bed of hay quickly catches fire as the lighter explodes from the heat...srapp from the lighter cuts deeply into the woman wrist...the right side of her white gown looks as though it was bleeding also as it absorbed some of the blood gushing out of the woman's wrist...the blood seemed to fuel the fire...the fire grew angrier and brighter...looking into the fire with caring hopes; as though Zero knew who the woman was he discovered an image of a spirit or ghost flashing inside the fire... the soul looked as though it was very evil although, it was dressed in a holy gown...the fire grew and grew till Zero was engulfed in a golden light...a golden light that quickly turned black...)
