((Hear! Hear! I agree. Thanks Vega.))<br/><br/>Lord Xeron looks up at the darkening sky and gives a toothy cold grin. The sliver of the moons shadow over the sun slowly but steadily covers more and more of the sun. The wind starts to pick slightly. It has a cold ominous feel to it. Even the light from the crystal gives off an eerie glow. Lord Xeron paw continues to firmly grip Crystal's hand.  The paw changes back to its normal furry form then he releases your hand.  Lord Xeron looks casually down at it flexing his paw as if it was no big deal. Being this close to the crystal Crystal will be able to feel its dark power grow even without him holding your hand. He could feel the cold dark power of the crystal start to flow into his body and its power build inside him. He could feel something start to happen inside to his body. He is not sure what but what ever it was it was just the start of something amazing. He sees a dozen witnesses walk in and take seats down front. Their faces blank of emotion. Clearly under Lord Xeron's power. "Damn that Succubus. Where is she with that Minister?" He lets out a roar that is loud both verbally and mentally that so cold with anger that it would make anyone in the room cringe with fright. "SUCCUBUS! WHERE IS THAT MINISTER? I WANT HIM HERE NOW OR YOU WILL PAY DEARLY!"<br/><br/>The Captain of the guards at the top of the stairs to the castle wall. "Lets move it men! Archers, I want cross bows across the front wall. Load up with rocks. Be ready for a possible aerial attack. Men, We are going up against a dragon and a Koopa and a lizard. Don't underestimate them. They are very powerful. The succubus says they are coming to take our princess away from us again but this time we are ready for them. THIS time they will fail! Right men?" The men let out a loud cheer. The archers line the front wall with cross bows drawn.<br/><br/><br/>Arkain gasps watching the twists and turns while sliding down this long green tube. He suddenly finds himself ejected out of the tube and coming to rolling stop. He quickly looks around and sees they are inside the castles wall. What even better they are in a corner that is hidden by the stables and the castle wall. He walks up to Wendy and puts his hand on her shoulder and speaks softly. "Wow, Wendy. This is a great spot. Thanks." He looks at Gold. "But she didn't. That's what counts." He quickly jumps away from Wendy and goes next to Gold when she summons her chomper. He rubs his shoulder. "Gold's right. Do your best not to kill the guards. I just need you two to keep them busy so Axel and I can free Wendy's parents. The castle walls?  Have at it. The walls can be replaced, the men protecting it can't."  He laughs at Wendy's comment about eating the Princess. He gestures for Axel to come over to him. "OK Axel. Its up to you now. We need to get inside that castle fast and free Crystal's parents." He looks up at the sun and shakes his head. He shudders and rubs his shoulders feel a gust of the cold wind. "Prey we are time. This is not good. I am getting a very very bad feeling. Come on. Let's go."
