Dahak Returns
"No!!" yelled Niko as the dagger plunged into her stomache. Niko, who was badly hurt, fell to the ground and crawled towards her, which was a far way. And through all of this, he thought of what happened to bring him on this long, dangerous journey and into this battle against evil.
*Flashback to a forest scene*
"You know, Serey," said Niko, "After that adventure we have become the closest of friends. You are the only one that I could talk to about my druidism. Anyone else, I fear, would have told Ares or Hope and I would have been dead. But you, you are different, you are hiding something within you that even yourself don't know. Serey, you are capable of so much. More good than you even know of. But until that, I must go. I have to return home."
"I agree," replied Serey, " I have some things to tend to. Until later my friend."
And with that, the two rode away. But Serey didn't head to where she planned to.
*Change scene to Poteidaea*
Serey appeared behind the tavern in Podedia. Smiling very mischievously, she went around to the entrance and went in the tavern. She looked around for a moment then exited again. She went around back and took off her outer robe to reveal a tiny little leather outfit. "Much better." She said then went back in. As she walked towards the bar she could feel the eyes pawing at her. She grinned at facces around her. She sat at the bar. "Give me something strong." and then she turned to face the tables of people. "I'm looking for a couple of strong men who can fight." she said. Then guys began to get up and walk towards her. A young blonde man came up to her smiling first. "Not a chance boy." she said then pushed him to the floor. She picked out four men and exited the tavern. She was leaving Podedia when she bumped into someone. She turned and pushed him to the ground. "Watch where your going fool." she yelled then her face went blank. "I know him." She thought to herself, "but how?"
The man smiled at her. He was wearing a warlord type of outfit. He stood. "Serey, do you think you know me?" he asked.
"Yes. I mean no. Maybe." She said, uncertain.
"Well you do." He said. Then he went and kissed her passionately. She went and pushed him away.
"Who do you think you are?" she questioned in disbelief of his gesture.
"I am Mandailus. I am your old follower, and lover. Until you got the amnesia that is." He said than went closer to her. "You didn't remember anything from our two years together after that woman nearly killed you while you were deffenceless. So I took care of you till you healed and released you to the world. Obviously you still haven't regained your memories." He said than went to walk away.
"Wait." She said then pulled his shoulder and turned him around. She got an evil little grin on her face.
"I remember that smile." he said.
He sood about 6'2", she was about 5'9". She went and put her arms around his neck. "Why don't you teach me my memories?" She said, then began kissing him passionately.

Serey couldn't believe what was happening. This man she didn't even remember is now kissing her. "What is going on with me?", she questioned herself in her head.
"Hey, if he gets a little, do we get some too." One of the three men she had picked in the tavern said.
"Not on your life buddy." she said back to him. "Leave me. It looks like I won't be needing you after all."
"Jeesh. People today." The man said and the three walked away.
"So Serey. Are you back for good? Are you the same old Serey I knew before the battle with that woman.?" Mandailus said, remembering the battle with the woman some, but then pushing it out of his mind.
"Not yet, but with your help, things around here will be different. Thats a definite promise." she said with a mischievous smile.
"Take us to out temple. Do you remember that place?" Mandailus said.
"Yes, I do remember that." She closed her eyes and focused, and with little pain now, she transported her and Mandailus to the temple. "Oh." She said because of the little pains it caused in her stomach.
Mandailus put his arm around her. "Are you alright, my queen?"
Serey looked at him kind of funny, but then her expression changed to one of power, "Yes, I just get pains in my stomach when I travel like that."
"Come on." Mandailus said, leading Serey down some corridors and into a large room with a mineral spring bath, a large bed, and many more nice things. Obviously her bedroom. "Lets catch up on old times, shall we." He said, looking at her smiling.
Serey put her arms around him. "Sounds good to me." She said with a smile. Then he began kissing her and they went onto the bed....
(OOG The actions that take place in this room on the bed cannot continue to be told through the use of my fingertips due to un- PG-13 content. Use your imaginations.)

Instantly, Mandailus dissapeared and Dahak appeared in his place. "Thank you" he said to Serey, "For now, you are going to bring a child, so evil, into the world, that no one can stop, including you," and with that, he dissapeared and Serey found herself next to Niko in the forest.
"Serey," said Niko, "Are you alright, I found you here unconscious, what happened?"
But before Serey could reply, a figure appeared behind them and hit Niko over the back of the head, killing him instantly. Serey felt pain fill her body and the forest consumed in flames. She too was killed, scorched to death by Hope.
*Change of scene to a cavern, similar to Callisto's Tartarus*
"Niko," Serey whispered, "Where are we?"
Niko stood up but fell back down in pain. His head was throbbing and he could barley move. Serey tried to help him up but when she approached him, she felt a pain in her stomache and she was thrown against the wall. Two men appeared, as well as Dahak. Dahak took control of Niko and pinned him against the wall. "Foolish Druid," he mumbled. "I should have killed you long ago."
"As for you, Serey, I have a surprise for you," and with that, one of the men, who was Mendailus, took a dagger and plunged it into Serey's stomcahe and then into her chest.
"NO!!" yelled Niko. The men dissapeared as well as Dahak and Niko crawled over to Serey. He finally reached her and collapsed in pain, dead.
And that is where we are now. Let's see what happens.
