his black shirt.



"I'm curious what he's going to do .... The thing promises to be interesting .... Well, what do you think of that .... Your essence of the Shadow Clan !!! ..... Now you will all pay for it! ....

But I'm not the only one who wants something from Tanya .... However, I'll be the first .... ", Fade stopped after a short while and looked up at the sky. He saw how almost all planets lined up in a row were standing and only one was missing in this link.

> The time is approaching ..... and nobody can change fate .... But what is important to me is that ..... moron! .... As if there was something else for me that was important. ... what I could hold on to .... There is nothing more ..... nothing more .... Why am I here ..... just to fill the empty space at this point?! .. ... I am in no way interested in the fate of the earth, I just pursue my GOAL! << br />
He was torn from his thoughts when Tanya walked up to him.

"Hi, Tanya."
"Hello Fade ... How are you?"

"It's okay ... What about you and your brother?"

"Ray is doing better ... and me too ...", she walked up to him and both of them didn't really dare to look each other in the eye, especially not Fade, because his thoughts were somewhere else .

"Actually it's good ... you can feel it too ..."

"Yes .... Almost all planets are lined up ..."



As if from nowhere, jet black feathers fell from the sky, first one, then more and more ...

"What does that mean?", The seventeen year old looked around suspiciously when Fade stood in front of her.

“Stay behind me!”> Viragos! <, his eyes looked dangerous, suddenly both were gone ....







BRING ME TO LIFE LXIV !!!



Good times gone ...



Black feathers fell from the sky and when they touched the ground they disintegrated and scattered small glittering particles.

Fade and Tanya were on a cliff, somewhere in nowhere, just around them the dim light and sharp, angular rock walls.

"Where are we here?", Tanya looked around, while Fade just looked straight ahead.

"Show yourself, Ardeth! I know it's you!"

A dark laugh echoed through the air, so Ardeth was still alive and this time he is stronger than before! He is now squeezing a black long coat, which was colored reddish on the inside. His eyes were even more bloodthirsty and his grin more hideous.

"How nice ... the traitor and you fade!", He raised his hand and sharp-edged boulders flew towards both of them.

The dark brown haired man crossed his hands for protection and created a barrier. With all his might he tried to repel the attack by Ardeth, but somehow this high priest was able to gain the upper hand and so Fade was injured on the right arm and also on the left cheek.The ground began to dissolve behind him and he reflexively grabbed Tanya's hand when it threatened to fall. The blood oozed from the wound on his right arm and Fade was unable to launch a counterattack.

"Fade! Let go of me! You're hurt ... and Ardeth won't stop attacking you!"

"What are you talking about !!! I won't let go of you !!!"> .... I couldn't forgive myself .... I've made this mistake once before, but I won't make it a second time. ..
> I ... Now would be the ideal opportunity to ... Argh ... What should I do! I can't let go now ... otherwise I would have failed in this matter one more time! << br />
Ardeth laughed sarcastically, "You fool! .... Are you really ready to give your life for her? .... You have not chosen the side of my master ... and you will atone for it! !"He formed some energy balls and aimed them at Fade, which only just missed him. Slowly Ardeth walked up to Fade with a confident smile, who was still holding Tanya. Right in front of him the high priest appeared and leaned down to him," So you want to die for her ... here you go !!! You can have that! "

The being of the Wolf Clan grabbed Fade's hair with one hand, then hit his head on the ground where there was a stone. The seventeen-year-old remained unconscious and the blood was now making its way over his face. Still, he held Tanya's hand tightly and didn't let go of it. She wanted to help him, but in this situation she could not, to which was added her lower abdominal injury, which had not yet completely healed.

"Fade ... Please come to you ... Hey ...."

The wolf clan's icy eyes flashed as his sharp claws approached Fade's face. Suddenly something hit Ardeth from the side and he was thrown backwards.A person approached Fade and pulled Tanya up to him.

"Ray!", Astonished and yet happy she looked into her brother's eyes, he indicated that she should take care of Fade.

"What are you going to do? You ... can't fight yet !!!"

"Don't worry! I can do it, I'm pretty much back on track ... and I owe that to Fade ..."

Tanya learned from Ray that Fade was with him the other day and had somehow managed to develop his regeneration skills more strongly. He still wore the head bandage.

Ray started fighting Ardeth, it was an uphill battle and neither of them wanted to let the other win. Due to the rapid movements and evasive maneuvers, the bandage loosened, which was now completely unwound by a gust of wind. Ardeth got away as quickly as possible and heard a voice that only he could hear. ~ Ardeth! Leave the games! ... You know what to do! Bring the boy to me !!! ~> Very well, master ... << br />The seventeen year old kept his eyes closed, not knowing whether he could see in the right eye or not. He opened it cautiously and to his astonishment he could really see something.

Ardeth growled, since it was finally enough for him, "I'll get you back ..... Maybe you won the battle .... But you won't win the war !!! ..... <

"Well .... Well ..... Kasky .... This round goes to you .... but don't be too early!", The high priest disappeared with an abrupt hand movement on his part .... and with him fade!

The siblings gave each other a meaningful look - now the time had come. They agreed that Ray would let the others know when a wind blew up out of the blue and before they failed each other, they were both separated. Ray found himself at the mountain hut,

"Damn ..."



Fade slid along the smooth floor, then he was thrown somewhere else again by an abrupt hand movement of a person, finally a very strong force pressed him against the dark-colored wall at the corners of which there were candlesticks.

"So, Fade!", Came a cool and bitter voice, "You will now tell me who belongs to the 7 seals !!! You understand !!!"

"Exert your own head! I will NEVER tell you who you are! ....."

Suddenly a figure appeared whose body, like everyone else, was covered by a long black coat. His hand clasped the dark brown-haired man's chin and two bright red eyes stared into his.

"You know that you belong to us forever! You have probably forgotten what is at stake! ... Have you already forgotten what happened and who is to blame for it at all !!!!"

Fade's eyes narrowed, he hadn't forgotten what the opposing side- the Shadow Clan had done.

"Well, the memory comes back to you !!! ..... You have your family and your partner on your conscience and yet you want to defend them !!! ..... WAKE UP !!!!!", he shouted at him.

Fade winced briefly and closed his eyes, then he opened them again, "I know very well ... what you have done ...", the figure let go of him and tears ran quietly down the seventeen year old's cheeks, all the terrible images he had once witnessed, or so he thought, he saw again.He had no idea what it really was like ... He sank to his knees and held his head, "STOP !!!!! I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THIS ANYMORE !!!!! NOT THE PAST AND NOT THE FUTURE !!!!! YOU LISTEN !!!! ..... stop ..... you are hardly better .... like .... the Shadow Clan .... what do you want because actually still !!! ..... You already have everything .... You make the same mistake as you did before !!! You will destroy a world again !!! ..... Damn it !!! And me I also contributed to it ... but I don't care about that now !!!! .... "

The creature's red eyes glowed and with a jerk Fade hit the wall again, then he was pulled up by his hair.

"You fool !!!! ..... You dare to rebel against us !!! Well wait !!! ..... Not only you will suffer !!! I promise you that !!! ... .. You have thwarted my plans too often! ". He raised his right hand, the fingernails of which were sharp claws. Very slowly he let his hand slide from Fade's left collarbone backwards to the back until he bored his claws into his flesh and three deep flesh wounds were made, or better said he tore open those that were already there.

The dark brown-haired man tried to suppress the pain, he felt the claws of the other penetrate deeper and deeper into his flesh, then the figure grabbed him and threw him on the ground. He licked his claws with relish and watched with amusement as Fade tried to get up again. But the unknown creature was already kicking him in the ribs, causing the seventeen year old to briefly cough up some blood. With a sinister grin, the creature pulled him up by his left arm and pulled him behind Fade's back, letting his tongue slide over the dark-haired man's neck, "You'll see what you get out of it!"

Fade only felt how he hit the floor hard and something warm ran down his forehead, finally he lost consciousness.



Tanya ran through a dark corridor and orientated herself on the wall by which she groped in the dark.

> Hopefully nothing has happened to Fade .... I could never forgive myself ... What Ardeth probably wants from him
