Its been a few hours since we were caught by surprise by Jax's Elf minion and her bloody Earth creatures. God why me, why am I always the center of everyone's rage and aggression? Oh right I forgot because of the whole stupid fucking shit about me being framed of killing those three noble men. Thank god to the man in front of me and the other behind me if it wasn't for them I would not be here to tell the tale. I owe these two everything.

The silence between us three is getting a little too unbearable. The look on Leon's face kept flashing into my mind, was he really jealous? And why would he be? I jammed those mental questions to the side for another day because I need to keep my mind concentrating on the situation at hand first.

There was a question that was swimming in my head ever since the Prince spoke its name.

"Jackles Cave...was name for Zexeal the God of Death or the Jackle God wasn't it?" I asked, mentally kicking myself in the ass for asking such a stupid question.

"Yes it was in fact. The Cave was founded by a group of humans a century ago. When the Dragoon King found out about the God's worshipping cult he sent down his son who is riding right behind you right now."

I looked over to Hajime at the same time he was turning his head away from my gaze. Then Leon's voice pulled me back.

"So thanks to his Tyrant father Hajime killed every one of those humans..."

Hajime interrupted the Prince. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Those memories are something I don't want to remember."

"Well Ares is going to find out eventually so it might as well be now." Leon shook his head and went on with the history of the Cave and a little bit of his friend's dark past. "After he finished slaughtering all of the humans he was about to walk away until he heard the sobs of a young boy. When he found him the sight was to much for him to bare to see, the boy was bleeding perfusly from his side but some how the wound healed itself quickly then when the wound finished healing the boy jerked his head up with a wide grin on his face and his eyes went milky white."

"Then what? What happened?" I asked curious about what happened next, but my mind was struggling to get a grip on a memory I have forgotten about.

"I got out of there. I figured out right then that I was playing right into Zexeal's clawed hand. The boy was the door and the blood of his worshipers was the key and he knew it." While finishing the man's emotions went dark and thick with regret, I've never seen him like this before and I did not like it.

Ten minutes later went unmounted heading into the entrance of the cave. The stench of death slammed into my nostrils I could feel puke flood into my throat but instead of letting it out I just swallowed it back. "Well dark, dank and the putrid smell of death this is the perfect place for the God of Death to reside in." I swallowed the lump in my throat hard.

"Ares you can always walk beside me if you need to." Hajime gently touched my shoulder but instead I shrugged it off.

"I'll be fine...come on let's get this over with."

I led the way through the caverns until we heard a blood curling scream which brought back the heart wrenching sight of the Fairy having her wings being ripped away. So I started darting down the way I was going with both the Prince and Hajime at my heel.

I slid to a holt in a huge flame lit cavern that was filled with so much blood, gore and dismentaled body parts that hardly had flesh or anything on them. The sight in front of me this time pulled chunks of puke out of my stomach while I coughed covering my mouth.
