clenched her teeth and walked toward him, kneeling in front of him.
"What=s wrong Demetri, sick?@ She mocked sadly.
Demetri gripped Selene=s shoulder and his body leaned against hers. She gasped as her eyes widened, he was getting weaker by the second as she gripped him.
ASelene, it=s Pandora=s box. It makes every demon weak.... really weak,A he whispered, panting as got weaker.
His body slumped more into hers, his head in her neck. He tried breathing in her scent, but couldn't because of how weak he was becoming.
ASelene, when you said back to Gail.... did you.... did you...@ he couldn=t answer because he was too afraid of her answer.
He looked at her as he panted harder and she looked back. Pandora=s Box glowed and his grip got weaker.
ATell me the truth, Selene.... are you.... are youY sleeping with Gail?" He asked as he looked at her. "Please, if you are kill me now... I... I couldn=t bare the thought of his hands all over you. You=re the reason I=m fighting.... you=re my reason to live,A he whispered as he pleaded.
She couldn=t answer as she looked at him sadly at his condition. His eyes widened at the silence.

ANo... Selene... tell me it isn=t true, please my... my Selene!A he whispered, his grip loosening from her shirt.
She gripped him and embraced him to her. He tried to get away from her, but kept him in her arms forcefully and she sighed.
AI=m not sleeping with Gail. I=m doing all this for you, I told him not to touch me. I love you and only you Demetri,A she whispered as she smiled.
He smiled and gasped as a pulse went through him. She looked at him and covered Pandora=s Box up in fear. His strength returned, but only a little as he still panted.
ASelene I love you, I love you so much. I will save you, trust me,A he whispered, putting his hand on her cheek.
She stood up and took Pandora=s Box as she glared at him a little. He gasped as she pulled the sheet off. He instantly lost his strength again as he panted harder.
AI don=t need you to save me!@ She shouted.
She turned around and disappeared angrily, glaring at him still. Demetri couldn=t move, even though his strength was slowly returning. Sol showed up and saw Demetri on the ground.
ADemetri what happened?! Where=s Selene!@ She shouted as she helped him up.
He was really weak and opened his eyes a little, but his body slumped. She tried to support him as his strength slowly came back.
AShe... she has.... she has Pandora=s box,A he whispered faintly.
Sol gasped and took him to where he had lived with Selene, laying him on the bed. She sat by him and gripped his hand in worry.
AIt=s okay Sol... I=ll be fine... just need to rest,A he said tiredly.
He fainted and she smiled a little, leaving the room and shutting the door. He was in a different world and looked around in confusion. It was full of trees and a stream, the sky was blue and lavender. He saw his sword sat down and sighed.
ASo Selene has Pandora=s Box. It will help weaken Gail, only a little,A Calamity said as he sat by him, purring as Demetri scratched its head.
AWhat do I do now? How do I save her from the darkness that has her soul and heart now?A Demetri asked, looking at the water.
Calamity looked at him and sighed. He looked at the forest instead sadly as its eyes closed.
AIf it comes to this Demetri... can you really kill the one you love?@ It asked as it looked at him.

Demetri gasped as his eyes widened. He stood up and went over to a tree, shaking as he touched it.
AI don=t know if I can.... if I have to, to save her soul. I will and then...A he said and turned toward his sword. AI=ll kill myself too, I=ll be with her.A
Calamity nodded as he faded away and so did Demetri. Demetri groaned as he opened his eyes and looked around. Sol gasped and embraced him as he sighed and sat up.
@I=m alright Sol. Let=s go on the mission king asked us to do,A he said.
She nodded and got ready as he did too. They headed out the door and went to a city, night was upon them when they came in.
Selene was sitting on the bed in her room. She was looking at the moon and sighed in frustration.
AWhy Gail? Why does Demetri want to save me and stop me from what I=m trying to do for him and his soul?@ She thought, going toward the window and touching it.
Gail came in, walked toward her and touched her shoulder. Selene jumped at his touch and looked at him.
AHe just doesn=t understand, don=t worry he will,A Gail said and disappeared.
She nodded and grabbed her sword. She laid on the bed and fell asleep, Gail covered her up as he sighed.
ADemetri,A she muttered.
She was in a dark place again and her sword spirit was in front of her. It was a dragon that was black and white.
AWhy am I here?@ She asked, glaring at the dragon.
It laughed and curled its tail around her. She gasped and tried to get away as it looked at her. Her eyes widened as pulses went through her body and the dragon released her.
ASelene you must become darker to save his soul. The king will kill Demetri after this is over. You know that. Kill the king before he kills your love,A it said and went into her body.
Selene screamed as a huge black aura surrounded her. She suddenly sprang up in shock. Gail was tipping a glass of black stuff in her mouth and she glared at him.
AThis is to help you get strong sister,A he said.
She nodded, drank it and then he told her about the ancient legend and what happened. Gail said he would give her some of his powers for her to kiss him as she looked at her hands.

AI know what you want. If you and I sleep together, then you would get stronger,@ she growled.
She looked at him and shook her head. He sighed and pushed her against the bed as she gasped.
AI love you Selene. Please. If I had been stronger I could have saved the one I loved,A he said as he looked at her.
She pushed him away and walked out of the room as she panted. Gail followed her in the room and she turned to face him.
AYou just want a son! I can=t give you that!A she shouted as she glared at him.
He handed her a glass and she took it. She drank it and threw it against the wall. He gasped when she did that, stepping back in fear a little. Her aura was black and red now as her eyes turned hazy again.
AThe darker she becomes, the stronger she will get. The more my plan will proceed and the more I can make her mine,A he thought, walking toward her and grabbing her hand.
She looked at him and fainted. He caught her and laid her on the bed as he touched her cheek. She moaned a little as she turned to her side and he laid down next to her.
@When all the good disappears from her heart. I can make her mine and kill the angels once and for all for killing Anasi,A he thought, gripping her to him tighter.
Demetri gasped as a pulse went through him and Sol looked at him. He growled and punched a wall as Sol touched his shoulder.
AHe=s making her darker Sol! He=s making Selene darker, when there is no more good in her he=ll make her his!@ He shouted.
Sol pulled out her sword and killed a demon that was appearing, then looked back at Demetri. His grip on Calamity tightened as he growled angrily.
AJust thinking of that man having his hands over my Selene makes my blood boil!@ He shouted as his aura continued to grow.
Sol embraced him and he gripped her too tight. She yelped and he looked at her angrily. She looked at him in pain and he loosened his grip a little bit.
ADemetri calm down! I know that you can hear Gail thinking because he stabbed you, but Selene is alright!@ She shouted as more pain went through her.

He gasped when he knew Selene was okay and calmed down, taking his hands off Sol. She sighed and looked at him sadly as he sighed.
ASorry Sol,A he said and walked off.
They both killed demons in the city and rested at an inn as Demetri thought of Selene. Sol sat by him, rubbing his back and he sighed a little. He smiled and fell asleep, talking to Calamity again after that.
ASelene,A he thought as he fell asleep.
They woke up in the morning and walked through town, Shin showed up and they went into an alley.
AWe know where Selene is going next. Omar city,A he said, pointing to a place on the map.
Sol gasped and they both looked at her in confusion. She touched her necklace and looked at them as she put the necklace under her shirt.
AThat was the city where Gail lost his lover. He wants revenge,A she said.
They nodded and went to the city. Selene was walking to that city as well, sword in hand.


Chapter 7

Legend of Omar City and Choice

Demetri and Sol entered a temple. The walls had vines on them and the halls were long and dark. They pulled out their swords in union as they stepped inside.
ABe careful. Something=s not right in this place,A Calamity thought to Demetri and he nodded as Sol did too.
They grabbed two torches and walked up two railings going in the temple. They saw a gold bowl and put the torches it. The fire licked its way down the stairs and the room.
AAnd so the world had light,A Sol said and Demetri looked at her as she looked back.
A pulse went through Demetri and he gripped his stomach as he went one knee. Sol helped him up and her expression was fearful. Demetri grew angry a little as he clenched his teeth..
AIt=s Gail. Something=s happened and Selene is here as well,A he grunted, pain lacing his voice.

They walked down the hall and saw a room. They went into the room and gasped. There were paintings on the wall of the Omar legend. Demetri put his hand on one as Sol came up behind him.
Sol looked at it and they both gasped as they gripped their heads, going to their knees.
ASo we=re finally going to find out about the legend.A Sol thought and they both fainted.
Two thousand years ago, a month before a war, the town was a market and very busy. Gail was walking down a street and wore a white robe.
AGail, wait!@ Someone shouted.
