Someday though, she thought to herself, there will be a kingdom again....not by Scarlett, whom wants to rule it, but someone with a pure enough heart to do so. The only piece of it Scarlett ruled over was the abandoned tower.

    In her dream, she was again the only one that could see Max, she waited until he was looking at her.


    "Where are you going?" She demanded.


    "Um..." She could hear him reply. "There''s this tower that Shadow keeps talking about."


    A tower?


    "Why?" He asked her.


    "Whatever you do, do not go there!"


    "We don''t have a choice! The dagger''s there."


    "You don''t know what you''re getting yourself into!"


    "We HAVE to!" He argued.


    Angrily, she left him there in his dream and came back to the waking reality.


    She HAD to do something! Anything!


    What if she had to leave? No, it''s too dangerous, she thought. How will she accomplish this?


    There was no time to waste....


    But would that...that.....THING sense her?


    I don''t have any other choice, they must not go to the tower!


    She packed her belongings in a small bag and left the house for the first time in days and began her dangerous quest.


    Trudging on through the woods and beyond.
