Never before had I seen a knight of such beauty, though I am not a man of such vain things, but I felt something I thought I had lost a long long time ago. I felt a warmness, some kind of feeling towards this Red Knight. I can hardly believe I can still feel something. i thought the madness had completely taken me over, but I guess I miscalculated, but what have I, no, it done? It should have not brought her back she should not be here in the world of the living, but it is too late now. Right now I can only try to slow down what I know is inevitable.

I stand on the crumbling roof of the Underground Capital, I see the Red Knight stumble out of the front doors, she's more charming than when she was fully alive. She's dripping in blood as she staggers over the crevices of the destroyed cities. She leaves a path of red behind her, her hair is a pretty rose shade and her now amber eyes glow with a lust for blood and vengeance.

I watch her make her way to the little party of tents and shelters of the small village to the west chased by dark ominous clouds from the great tower that can be seen from far and wide.
Feita Temple is what I've heard it called, next to it is the village, tiny in comparison.
the knights haven't been here for long, maybe five months at the most. I've been wondering around here, through dark dungeons and dangerous fields, looking for something to entertain me, I guess i've finally found something, no, someone worthy of my attention.
I smile to myself, the disconnectedness fades, and my sanity returns as I set off after the Red Haired Knight.

She stumbles into the village and is surrounded by knights yelling and screaming their joy and then their horror. The Red Knight at this point is exhausted and collapses at there feet coughing up blood and stomach acid, tears streaming down her face. the knights hesitate not knowing what to do.
The Captain kneels down and asks urgent questions that don't reach my ears. The Red Knight starts shaking and giggling. She looks up at the captain grinning and laughing now, blood running from her mouth.
The Captain steps back fear growing in his eyes. He shouts something to his men, but the next second his head is gone. Flying through the air to roll over the damp grass to never be found. the Red Knight kicks down the headless body and stabs it repeatedly. The other knights stare frozen with shock and terror. By the time they start to realize who their enemy is, it's far too late.
Screams echo through the ruins as the evening creeps on.

By the time the moon has peeked out from behind the slivers of clouds the camp is in flames, ashes falling like snow.
I walk through the burning tents. Bodies litter the ground. The smell of fresh blood has stained the air mixing with smoke.
I find the Red Knight unconscious at the edge of the camp. I kneel down and scoop her up in my arms. Her skin is pale and freezing cold covered in death.
"Don't fight anymore, my Crimson Avenger ...." I whisper to her
I open a time rift in space and take us millions of miles away to a small city far to the south, Ruben.

author's note: when Add says "it" at the beginning of the chapter he is referring to the diabolic insane side of him. (that's the side that brought Elesis back to life)
