[I]I remembered it like it was yesterday….

It was a cold spring night…the rain was pouring down in great torrents, blurring out the neon lights of Hong Kong in the skyline behind him.

And there he was…in his dark hooded leather cloak, his shoulder length blonde hair waving in the wind, and in each hand a saber.

And there were his words…

“Know that after this day…â€

Prologue: Dragonslayer

5 years later…

Silence permeated the room. The darkness encircled what little light are being fed through the stain-glass windows, like beasts stalking outside of a protective sanctuary, awaiting its pray. All furniture are absent from the room, save for a bronze throne with expertly carved dragon-heads along the sides. A lone figure in a dark-hooded cloak sat patiently, swirling a glass of crimson wine, his curly shoulder-length blonde hair sitting at the side of his face, while his face bore a wicked smirk of cynicism.

With a sudden crash, like that of dull thunder, the main double-doors flew open with tremendous vigor, followed by a gust of cold air. A trench-coat figure stepped into the room, his neck-length silver hair swirling in the wind, and his bleak grey eyes as sharp as the fine tuned edge of a newly polished sword. A katana found its place strapped on his back, as well as a Beretta M92 pistol in his right hand, smoke dispensing from its barrel despite the icy air.

Cloaked man: “Zeriel Natick.â€

Thanks HC and Ronin for reading. Notice, Ronin, that I did take some of your writing techniques, such as extream descriptions of combat, though mine may seem kind of.....long. Anyways, thanks to you both.

I took the script idea from Ronin of Kirai, and it helped me (I think) a lot in terms of writing better (at least I hope I improved since my last write with dialogue, grammer, etc). Paladin's Saga is on hiatus indefinately, this particular one is more thought out. Actually I already have the entire story planned out, I just need to get off my lazy behind and write it, lol. Anyways, thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I really enjoyed reading how you wrote, Sangoku. Does that make sense? I see your best friend *wink* evidenced throughout your writing. I enjoy the script format. I think you've handled it well for any artist to come along and make this into a manga if that's what you both are aiming for.

Great work from both you and Ronin's collaboration.^-^

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

Very nice. I personally like it in script format and am looking forward to reading more of it. You already know, however, that I take issue with your title...*ahem*...and simply can't understand WHY you'd name it that *hides her dragons* ^_~

"Why do people not notice until they lose it?
What it is that's truly important...
Although I can't afford to forgive even myself,
Because you were there,
I was able to be myself (Natural).
I want to be honest...I want to be kind...
I want to be the adult I once (in my childhood) longed to be.
I go on fighting against the heart to run away...
I go on fighting against that invisible something!"

Don't we all wish for straight anime release - oh the problems of the studios only dealing with agents. They all do.

~Scene 1: That Silver Haired Man~

…Sebastian Dracus, the head of the Zenkormat Corporation was arrested Friday on the charge of conspiracy to commit…

…The amendments to the USA PATRIOT Act were inevitable! It’s only a matter of time before another strike occurs, we must look ahead and...

…Martial law was declared in Megacity 04 after disheartened citizens took to the street against the government, the Federal Police Agency were deployed to quell the rioters…

...The Syntech corporation launched its newest operating system, the Syn 1100 to the market….


A massive 20 by 20 ft flatscreen television hung from the ceiling of a dark office. A piercing blue-eyed man in a black business suit with his hair swept to the side and a slight build sat behind a burgundy desk watching over 30 channels at the same time, feeding in the information presented to him. Suddenly, the intercom system lit up, and a voice came through.

Secretary: "Mr. Velmach, Mr. Deluris is here with Mr. Johnson."

Velmach: "Send them in."

Velmach pushed a button, and the office lit up, with the television folding itself into the ceiling. The double door across from Velmach’s desk opened, and two men entered. One was a tall, well built man with short blonde hair, and vibrant purple eyes like a dark flame, wearing a red/black Kevlar jumpsuit. The other was a short bald man in a tan business suit that was sweating profusely. Both men stops in front of Velmach’s desk and bowed.

Blonde man: “Sir…Carvechius Avaros was killed three days ago, by the Dragonslayer.â€

:thumb: very cool..I am in awe of your knowledge of weapons and all the cool doohickies your characters use. Note that I am not very good at that, thus my poor dragons are forced to fight using blindfolds and organic stinkbombs. Can't wait to read more..It kinda makes me think of Gundam Wing..or something like that.

Thank you, the blindfolds and organic stinkbombs are cool doohickies I think.

I try my best to put some realism and detail in my story.

For everybody, here's a little more info on another thing that I had, the USA PATRIOT act and it stands for:

Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism.

Congress will vote on this the 2004 year to see if it'll stay as a law. Though the USA PATRIOT act in my story is severely ammended to combat ultra-tech terrorists, enabling the government to have much leeway than now.

Thanks y'all.

The guy from the sig is from the Kingdom Hearts II 'deep dive' trailer. They haven't released his name yet, so I guess he's the "blindfold guy" I added the words and stuff on there with Photoshop 6.
