The next morning Rowen awoke before Ryo had. He decided from the past night's events to let him sleep for a little bit longer. He went downstairs to make himself some hot tea.
~*~Back upstairs~*~
Ryo awoke to the sound of the tea kettle whistling. It was midmorning. He recalled the past night's event.
"That was a really intense dream" he paused, "if it really was a dream. It felt soo real." He went downstairs to greet Rowen in the kitchen, only when he got there he saw another familiar face.
"Cye is that really you?"
"I think so." he said sarcastically as he gathered Ryo in a hug. "How are ya?"
"I'm fine. Just fine. I can't believe we're all getting back together."
"Well at least we didn't forget about each other. About our adventures with death. I don't think I ever will. We came together in those fights." Cye said.
"I have to go pick up Sage and Kento at the train station. You want to come?" asked Rowen.
"Of course I will. We can take my car." Ryo suggested.
"Who would let you have a car?!" joked Cye. "I think I'll stay here in case they call or something."
~*~At the Train Station~*~
"They're late again, what else is new?"
"I'm hungry can we go visit my parents and get some food?" Kento asked.
"As soon as they get here we can."
"Hey there's Ryo!! Come on!!"
"Sage!! Kento!! How are you guys?!"
"Hungry!! Let's go."
~*~In the Car~*~
"Hey Rowen, call Cye and tell him to take the motorcycle and come over to Kento's mom's restaurant."
"Kay Sage."
"We're here." said Kento as they pulled into the parking lot of his parent's old restaurant. It was a little more run down than it was in the battle with Talpa. They went inside to find Mr. and Mrs. Rei Faun working in the dinning room. After serving the little crowd Mrs. Rei Faun looked up to be greeted by her son's face.
"Hi Mom!!!"
"Kento?! How are you? It's been awhile kid."
"I'm fine mom. Can the guys and I eat here?"
"Sure why not. Go sit at your special table."
"Oh yeah, when Cye gets here will you tell him we're in back?" asked Ryo.
"Sure."
They went through the doors that lead to the small kitchen and continued out the back door. There was a table that easily sat five people. They all sat down and waited for Cye and the food to arrive.
"Hey guys." Cye said as he walked in the door.
"OK everyone here's the food." Mr. Rei Faun said as he sat the food down on the table. "Dig in!"
"This is just like old times." said Sage just as Kento dove into the food.
When they were finished they headed for the house. When they got there they all went to their old rooms to put their stuff away. Ryo, Rowen and Sage sat in the living room.
"Um.. Sage, I need to talk to you. It's about some dreams that've been bothering me and Rowen."
"Sure. What are they about. I need some detail." Ryo and Rowen both retold their dreams to Sage.
"Those are a little weird, but I know they are both trying to tell you something in your future. That's all I can get out of them for now."
"Thanx Sage. I'm gonna go and meditate for awhile. I need to get rid of some stress."
"Ok. Be back by dinner."
As soon as Ryo left the guys started to talk.
"I don't think he should be out there alone. Not now."
"I know Cye, that's why I'm gonna follow him."

Two mysterious young girls emerged onto the street. They looked upon the city view.
"Are you sure they came into this realm. It doesn't look very worthy."
"I'm sure they stopped here. I can feel their presence. It's strong in the city."
"I'm feeling another presence. A stronger one. Do you think it could be the chosen one?"
"I'm sure it is. The power he has cannot be matched."
"Well then we must find him before they do." They walked into the path to the city set upon finding the boy.
