"Sophia! Hey, wake up! We just fired it."Gewis said.

Sakura opened her eyes to see that she was inside a room covered mostly in metal. She turned around to see that this room was made to be a simple bedroom with a bed, a chair with table, some books and a mirr---

Sakura quickly looked to herself on the mirror, her skin was not her tanned asian complexion but a more fairer caucasian look. Her eyes were no longer brown but blue, her black hair turned brunnette with a few streaks of gold at the ends and her dress was tailored elegantly with a mostly white and black fabric. On her laid a white rose that Sakura felt like it was a gift from someone.

"Sophia? Come on, we need to get out of here soon. Can't keep the people waiting."Gewis held out his hand to Sophia/Sakura.

"Uhm, yes...lets go."Sakura smiled awkwardly to Rainoric's father. She grasped his hand and they went out of her room holding hands.

Apparently she must be reliving some sort of memory that is related to Sophia, Rainoric's human mother. To her complemets she was indeed a beautiful woman who barely reached her twenties and her clothes were a more feminine cut for White Dust Bishops if you compare with Bishop Rowan Dain's.

They walked out of an empty hallway that looked tattered, worn and rusty with fallen off wires and metal sheets that were peeling to make the hallway look derelict.

"So, since its a boy we will be having, I am thinking of naming our child Rainoric. Do you like that name? It means 'Valiant Warrior' and I f****** know it since I want him to continue my Dustline of Warrior Kings....when I become king after my father."Gewis announced.

Sakura walked silently not responding to him due to the confusing matter she is in. Wasn't she half-dead from a zombie bite? She could still feel that her neck is still wounded and the sensation of her feet being lifted was also felt.

"You seemed trouble love. Is something the matter? We have won! Gimael will remain free."Gewis said.

"Its nothing."Sakura lied.

At the end of the Hallway was a large door that had blood markings on it. Gewis and Sakura/Sophia could equally feel shocked as the blood marks should'nt even be there to begin with. Then the door slightly preened opened to reveal the head of a dead White Dust Bishop.

"S***! Are we being boar---"Gewis had barely time to speak when the door suddenly opened.

"Son and future daughter-in-law! We have been betrayed! Some of my men betrayed me and smuggled some assassins!"Merovech, Rainoric's Grandfather and the founder of the Gimaelic nation said stressingly.

"Father! Where is Rowan?"Gewis asked.

"He is at the engine room setting some explosives to the power. But I need you to make sure that he does. Sophia, you need to come with me. We need to rally the surviving White's and any loyal soldier to thee bridge."Merovech said.

"Go! I will get Rowan! Make sure I have a wife and a child to return to when this is over."Gewis ran off.

Sophia/Sakura and Merovech dashed through the wrecked hallway untill they have reached a large open room with a ceiling 20 feet high. There, she found a gathering of the survivors and loyal Gimaelic warriors.

"My king! Traitorous filth are everywhere! Me and my men barely got out with our souls and lives."an Anstrustrione bowed to Merovech.

"We hold here while Rowan turns off the ship and we bail out of here."Merovech said.

"Yes....indeed.....fight......It will make killing you so the more......SWEETER." A sinister voice was heard.

Suddenly a golden figure and a people surrounded by Black Dusts magically appeared in the room. The White Bishops hid behind the Gimaelics while the warriors drew their weapons.

"Martin Ildan de Sulluzo. So you have decided to face me one-on-one? That is surprisingly honorable of you."Merovech said.

"You know why I simply can't let you go while you have Sophia with you. When me and my Honor Guards are done killing you. She will be mine! Sophia will tell me where the Temple of the Auriga's core is. And that's Emperor Galerian you wh****son."Martin said.

"Well over my dead body! Kill them all lads! Sophia stay back. I will handle this." Merovech said. He conjured a large warhammer from his hand and charged straight at their assailants alongside with his men and the White Bishops. Sakura/Sophia walked back at the end of the room as she looked at the violence around her. The Gimaelics and their White Dust allies were slowly but surely getting slaughthered due to the overwhelming number of their attackers. Everyone where being mercilessly slaughtered as they were cut down limbed from limb. Even those who surrendered were simply brought to the blade and fell down dead.

Merovech, seeing what is happening around him angrily turned to Martin.

"You Bastard you will die!" Merovech ran towards Martin with his hammer ready to pummel him flat but Martin bent his knees and grasped his sword. He wasn't really fighting beforehand but was just looking at the bloody massacre and genocide of the White Dust Bishops like an artist admiring his finished painting.

Martin unsheathed his blade and it effortlessly slashed Merovech. To Sakura's horror, the blade was made from Nonorite. Merovech knelt down and felt his Dust leaving him and sapping his lifeforce away.

"You----lost-----yyyyoouurrr------Honor Martin."Merovech said in a dying breath.

Martin ed his blade to Merovech and the Gimaelic King shouted before his Dust exploded leaving his armor to fall down on the now bloodstained floor of his men and allies.

Sakura/Sophia shrieked in horror as she is now the only person left in this room and is completely defenseless.

"You will give me what is mine, Sophia. Tell me where is the Temple?"Martin grabbed Sakura/Sophia by the throat and raised her to the air. Black Dust began to form around Sakura as she felt like her whole body was failing. Her heartbeat is felt laggy, her lungs were out of oxygen and her sense of touch is waning.

"I....will never tell you."Sophia spoke out of Sakura's control.

"You seemed to have a child. I never knew you are one who would spread her legs to.....what is this abomination!"Martin yelled.
"My child is proudly half-human and half-Broken Lord. When I give birth to him, he will lead the Gimaelics one day, he will then march an army to your city, then he will find you and you will then be on your knees!"Sophia defiantly shouted.

"Not if I can prevent it."Martin scoffed Sophia's threat. He ed his Nonorite Sword to Sophia's abdomen where her womb is. Sakura could instantly feel a sharp  and cold pain in her abdomen and she clenched her eyes closed. Then an explosion rocked the room and violently shook Martin off-balanced letting go of Sakura/Sophia.

"My Lord, someone must have charged the engines to blow we must get out of here quickly!"One of the Honor Guards whose complete figure is veiled by Black Dust said to Martin.

"Damnit. Fine! If I cannot know the location of the Temple then may it be lost have this entire world be covered in darkness!"Martin said.

He gathered his men together and they teleported out of there with his Dust Powers.

Sakura/Sophia dragged herself to the center of the room trying to escape the fire while she clenched her bleeding abdomen. Blood gushed out of as she dragged her body to the center of the burning room next to the remains of Merovech leaving a bloodtrail behind. She laid on her back end stared to the inflamed ceiling bleeding out. Darkness was slowly covering her eyes as they felt heavy and want to sleep forever when a voice rang out.

"Sophia!"Gewis yelled. He was followed by Bishop Rowan Dain.

"What....who....did this?"Rowan asked.

"That bastard Martin. I knew he wouldn't give up so easily after we fired. Please don't die on me now!"Gewis held Sophia's hand and placed it one his plate/chest.

"Gewis......Promise me....Gewis.....please......"Sakura/Sophia said before her world went black.

---------------------------------

"Three Cheers for the Whitey's son!"mocked a rebellious chieftain who dug himself and his fellow rebels in a small castle.

Rainoric was reliving a memory of his first ever military campaign that he himself is supreme in command. But unlike what really happened. He was alone with no troops to command or assist him. He was standing at the otherside of a moat with 'Ulfberth' (or an imaginative representation of) at his hand. Anger writhes within him as he kicks the dirt and punches the ground in frustration. Rain then sat down with his legs curl as punches his helmet/head repeatedly.

"Forgetting and leaving yet they rise again." Bishop Rowan Dain spoke. He appeared next to him staring at the fortress.

"You! Bishop you..."Rainoric stood up with his anger still inside him.

"You know this is a dream? Yet your anger makes you think its real. You are stuck right now untill someone saves them."Rowan spoke.

"Save who?"Rainoric asked.

"Your mother, she is in trouble. And also your friend Sakura."

"Where are they?"Rainoric shouted.

"In there....follow my birds."Rowan said before he dissapeared. His two birds, Huggin and Munnin flew above him and into the castle. The drawbridge was miraculously lowered creating a way in.

Running through the castle Rainoric was now surrounded by the rebels occupying it. Only this time, their forms were disfigured by the decaying powers of Black Dust. The black apparations hurled themselves towards him and impaled Rainoric with Black Dust infused weapons damaging him badly. It was probably the first time he has everfelt pain before. The Dust slowly eating him. The apparations disappeared having done their cruel deed and left him to die alone.

"Don't give up! You told her that! Remember what you had fought for a millenia. Think of your nation, your people, your family, your legacy. Think of her."Rowan spoke. A spirit formed in the image of Sakura floated to him. She reached out her hand to Rainoric and her face was that of an angel coming to save a sinful man. Indeed Rainoric knows he has done many abominable things for the past 1500 years. Murder, greed, arrongance, sadism, you name it, he most likely have done it. But eversince he met Sakura, he felt something never felt before, Kindness of a human being, compassion andd forgiveness. They were something that pierced his soul through the actions of Sakura.

He remembers a time when Sakura helped one of his men who got injured while they were traveling and she healed his leg. The man offered to repay her but she refused anything as it was 'the right thing to do'. Another time she saw her feed a beggar in Vanoran with some of her food and was always smiling at the drudged up individual.

"Please..."Rainoric tried to reach for the spirit's hand but the spirit quickly backed itself to the door of the keep.

Now motivated to keep on moving, Rainoric painfully removed every shard of Black Dust that was impaled to his body one by one. If he was a human he would be sweating and gnashing his teeth over the sheer pain he is feeling every inch that the shards were being seperated from his armored carapace of a Broken Lord's body.

"RRRRAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!!!" He yelled after pulling out the final impaled weapon off of him. The Black Dust weapons that he scattered at the surrounding ground disappeared andd Rainoric weakly stood up and went to the keep.

The door's rusty hinges made a loud creaking noise as he pushed the door open. Stepping inside, he noticed that the keep lead him to a completely different place.

Glowing white-pink Cherry Blossoms surrounded him as he found himself outside of a Japanese training camp or what Takamina told him was called a 'Dojo'. It was raining and a black figure with its arms on her face as if it was weeping stood in the middle of the ground.

"Where are your friends? Make it stop! Face me so I may slay you! I don't want to fight you! Duel with me son of Merovech! Please!" The figure said revealing his face to be Jurina but her eyes were crying black tears and was whiter than snow with a few blackened spots around her. The voice seems to indicate that the innocent Jurina was still trying to fight off the Dust from totally consuming her as Rainoric heard a womanly voice after every demonic sounding sentence the figure made.

Black Dust Jurina pulled out her Katana and pointed the blade towards him as if she was tauting him to make the first move.

Without a thought of strategy since a Gimaelic's strategy was to honestly stab someone in the face untill his face no longer looks like a face, Rainoric charged towards Jurina. The wet and muddy ground made him slightly off balanced and he misses his target.

"Machigai!"Jurina mocked. She quickly went behind Rainoric and slashed him in the back. Taking a blow from his exposed back. Rainoric knelt down to the ground after absorbing the strike before quickly standing back up and turning around.

"You slashed me in the back! Like a coward!"Rainoric swung his blade to Jurina. She parried the blows the Gimaelic made until their blades locked together. Jurina's eyes were staring right at Rainoric's with anger in his eyes. Then....

"Help me!"he heard in his head. Jurina was telepathically communicating with him as she didn't move her lips when she spoke to him.

He broke off the deadlock and kicked Jurina pushing her away.

"How?"Rainoric asked loudly while violently slashing down 'Ulfberth'.

The rain drenched their bodies soaking wet causing their footing to loosen from the ground. They had been fighting nonstop for about ten minutes and they rain turned the ground into a murky and calloidal pit slugging their footing down and unable to move around quickly.

With mud drenching and ensnaring their legs like a weak adhesive, sword fighting was no longer feasible. Rainoric tackled Jurina and grabbed and forced her to the muddy ground. Some of the mud began to slowly drown her.

"I don't want to die!"Jurina spoke again. Her words speak of mercy yet her body showed defiance as it tried to desperately to fight back from drowning.

"Then how!"Rainoric spoke. He doesn't know what to do anymore, he could no longer take this woman and her confusing cries. He made up his mind to just simply drown her. Whether this is the real Jurina or some sort of mental image of her, Rainoric wants to get rid of this now. He raised his fist and punched Jurina in the face.....

(Flashback)

"NO!!!"Jurina yelled. She grabbed her head and rocked herself in her cell.

The Aksyarrite group of Black Dust Mages had deemed her to dangerous to use Black Dust and had violently severed her connection to Black Dust. But Jurina's first time experiencing Dust insertion into her body has hooked her like a drugs as she felt a painful Dust Withdrawal. Sweating and suffering a seizure, Jurina was near the point of death.

"I am sorry if she is too....potent for your tastes. I wanted to sell her off to you."Nisrina apologised.

"She doesn't understand the full cycle of life and death. To her and her pathetic race of Earthlings, Death is just an end. Not a new beginnning."One of them, apparently the leader of the group said.

Airin came into Jurina's side and comforted her by giving her a hug.

"Do you have no mercy!"Airin yelled at the Black Dust Broken Lord.

"No mercy I have for you pathetic worms!"He replied coldly.

"Shame on you and your fellow Lords! So perfect outside yet disgusting in!"Airin defiantly yelled before she was slapped in the face by Nisrina.

She and the Aksyarrite left the two alone in the dark and cold cell.

"Please stay with me Jurina! Please....remember who you are...Kind, compassionate, caring."Airin cried to Jurina.

"Kindness....compassion....caring....Just like you must be.....Rainoric...."Jurina focused her eyes to him.

(End Flashback)

The rain was now falling down as fast as 300 millimeters a minute. Jurina's body was no longer moving and lay down on the murky mud limply with Rainoric's hand anchoring it down.

"Like....me?"Rainoric asked himself.

He raised hup Jurina whose face was almost completely covered by mud. He wiped off her face revealing her face to him. He knows that she is around Sakura's age but a year older but her face looked like she was around her young adulthood. Rainoric slapped Jurina waking her up. She coughed out the mud that was stuck on . Her head was light over the relief of the Black Dust finally leaving her. At last Jurina was back to normal from her crazed Dust rampage.

"Wh-who are you? Are you an...angel?"Jurina asked.

"No, your alive but right now we got someone else to save."Rainoric grabbed Jurina and carried him with his two arms. The rain had stop and the ground became solid as stone again as Rainoric walked.

"Jurina, thats your name right?"Rainoric asked.

"Hai, you....saved me?"Jurina asked still dazed of what is happening. The Black Dust has mind her with many dead souls who cried in agony and rage that she almost forgot what happiness and joy was.

"F*** yeah I did."Rainoric said. As he spoke those words, a white light surrounded them and the dream world they were in crumbled down.

-------------

Eternity....

Sakura felt like she was laying down for an Eternity. After reliving Sophia's final hours alive and seeing Gewis bottle up Rainoric's soul. She was left alone in the cold room. She saw the bodies of the slain decay from flesh to bones. How long is she going to be like this? She wonders.

"Stand up!"a voice came up. It was Huggin and Munnin's voice. The birds flew next to her an inch away from her face. It looked at her as if waiting for her to do it. Sakura just did and rose from her two feet. Surprisingly, she was back to her normal body again. And the place she was laying down dead awhile ago was replaced by the bony remains of Sophia in her Bishop robes.

"Im so sorry I saw how you died."Sakura sadly mourned at the bones.

"Don't fear sister, I know that my child still lives through Dust and here he comes now with your friend."Sophia's voice echoed.

Huggin and Munnin flew away as Rainoric carrying Jurina walked into the room.

"Sakura! I think your friend Jurina wants to say hi or something."He greeted.

"Sa-kyu-ra.....your.....here too?"Jurina weakly spoke.

"Jurina-sama! Your okay now? Wait is this a dream?"Sakura asked herself. White Dust is indeed a mindboggling thing to understand.

"Wake up you must all! I have shown you what you all need to know for now. Find the white light and you may return to reality."Rowan's voice spoke. A white light appeared across a long hallway on one of the pathways leading out of the site of the massacre.

They walked towards the path with Rainoric's chin up high, Sakura with a better understanding of why her powers are so rare and a cured Jurina.

"So, what did Rowan made you do?"Sakura asked.

"Impalement and nearly drowning your friend here. No s***. What about you?" He saracatically replied.

"Your mother Rain, I saw how she died."Sakura said.

"Really? How?"He asked surprised, he stopped walking in shock.

"Martin Ildan Sulluzzo... or I think thats how you pronounce his name. He murdered your grandfather and your mother to find some sort of 'Temple'. Your mother wouldn't tell her where it is so he killed her by impaling his Nonorite sword to her abdomen, while pregnant with you."Sakura said.

"Emperor and his 'Imperial Majesty' my ! That bastard dies when I see him. I don't even care in what circumstances I do."Rainoric vowed.

"Be caeful what you wish for Rain. It could come true and you could regret ever saying that."Sakura said.

"I do not leave myself to fate if I have the power to carve it myself. All men have this yet the choose to leave themselves to chance."He replied.

"Sakura...where are we going?"Jurina spoke.

"Out of here... I promise."Sakura said.

The hall ended to another room where a massive trove of treasure was in place. Paladin armor, Dust-fueled weaponry ranging from guns to various melee weapons, scrolls, jewelry and coins of Ducats. To complement the wall was a large golden mural, but the soot and dirt made it seemed it had seen betterdays. Sakura could vaguely see the figures of the mural as if they were all fighting each other. Using her powers, Sakura blew off the dirt from the mural revealing the paintings grandeur.

Men with glowing eyes wearing various colors of Paladin Armor and they wielded many large, cumbersome looking and intimidating weapons with ease. They were aparently fighting various enemies of all shapes and sizes. Sakura wanted to take a closer look at the mural and walked closer. Her eyes widened at the majesty of the mural that she uncontrollably placed her hand on the mural....

(Listen to Archangel by Two Steps from Hell and prepare for a audiovisual )

(Also look up this video on youtube: WH40k: Space Marine Tribute)

(Credits to Warhammer 40k for being the inspiration for the Paladins and the respective artists of these works)

Sakura's eyes were blasted with images of Paladins fighting their enemies. Most of them were outnumbered 10-to-1 yet they didn't look like they were scared. They were all fighting bravely and they were cutting down all of those who oppose them. These Paladins must be the ancestors of the Broken Lords when they were still serving the Endless. Going around the universe, and fighting all of those who were their enemies.

Then a celestial voice spoke when all of the images ended:

"My children, this is your legacy. Guard it well so one day you will reclaim your inheritance..."

"Legacy?"Sakura spoke. She was now back in the dream world no longer under the inception of dreams and visions within other ones.

"That mural, its pretty isn't it?"Rainoric asked.

"Yes, its like that painting I saw in Nagoya Castle."Jurina said.

"Hey Sakura, stop dillying around. Let's wake up. Ulrich better not be touching my stuff right now. Or worse... my face."Rainoric sound worrried.

Sakura turned around and with Jurina, they both entered the White Dust portal....

-----------------------

"She is waking up! She's waking up!"Takamina's voice rang.

Sakura opened her eyes and saw that all of her fello AKB friends were surrounding her in the bed she was in.

"We though you were dead! I was praying you wouldn't die Sakura-chan."Paruru smiled.

"You were twitching and sweating. What happened to you?"Hayato asked.

"I....its...hard to explain."Sakura rubbed her eyes. She looked at Rainoric who was laying on a bed at the otherside.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Back from the dead!"Osgar clapped.

"You took a beating out there!" Belisarius said.

"I can't even explain how surprised you went up against a Black Dust Mage and NOT die!" Heinrich said.

Sakura smiled as her friend also came back with her, speaking of friends, she tried to turn her head around to Jurina.

"Jurina-sama?"Sakura's eyes were widened.

She was laying down on her bed with Rena sitting beside her caressing her cheek. Jurina's face was limp and agape. Her eyes were no longer infected by Black Dust but they look blank and dead.

"Grrr...."Ulrich threatingly grinned his teeth away from Rainoric as if he was seeing an enemy.

Sakura turned to where his gaze was and lo and behold a dark, obscure, Black Dusted figure.

"Revenant!"Belisarius shouted.

"Wait!"the figure spoke in Jurina's voice.

"J--ju---rina? Is that yyy--you?"Churi asked surprised.

"Yes.... I think.... I feel like I am flying....or something. Rena-sama! You came back for me!"Jurina tried to hug Rena but she phased right through her.

"Eh!? Jurina you went through me."Rena said.

"I hear their's a Revenant! Where's the....oh....it just Jurina."Rowan Dain physically appeared infront of him. All of the Aurigans bent down over his holy prescence.

"Bishop what are you doing here? Like what are you actually doing here?"Sakura asked.

"I came to see you. And your friend has become a Black Dust Revenant. Sigh, at least its not as dangerous as an angry mage. Come back to where's your body came!"Rowan exercised Jurina.

Jurina, for a moment, not control of her spirit form was forcefully placed back to her body which spazzed out of the bed when they came back together.

"Kyaa! What just happened?"Jurina now in her physical body asked.

"Compel, a White Dust spell. Sakura do that often if you need to take control. Anyhow, did you understand everything I showed you? Why our kind is rare and why you must not trust Galerian?"Rowan asked.

"Yes, but I don't understand one thing. What is this 'Temple' Sophia knows about?"Sakura asked.

Everyone fell silent to Sakura with confusion and surprise. Even Rainoric was staring at her oddly and its usually she who was doing that to him when he does is very strange habits of ticking, mumbling and placing his hands on his stuff in a rather intimately strange and often innappropriate manner.

"Isn't the Temple a myth?"Osgar said.

"I thought it was just a place where Broken Lords go when they die."Belisarius thought.

"I refuse to speak of it here."Heinrich said.

"I don't know what you are talking about. What happened to you when we were dragging you back here?" Takamina said.

"My sister, its best we talk of this outside. Me and you."Rowan said.

-----------------------------

The nightfall has arrived in the damaged city of Baizan. The people who fled to the shipyard returned to their homes when it is confirmed that all of the zombies have died for good. Bishop Rowan took Sakura to the loading bay of the shipyard overlooking the ocean.

"Auriga used to be jewel in the Endless's crown of their civilization. It shined so brightly across the galaxy as a beacon of progress, hope and its many cities rivaled even the Endless' home planet of Tor. But when the Endless began to infight themselves, they have destroyed the planet until it was almost unrecognisable. But there were still places where the Endless left their mark on the planet. Holding great treasures from caches of Dust, great archives of knowledge and weapons that are very powerful and very dangerous if they fell to the wrong hands."Rowan spoke.

"And what is this 'Temple'?"Sakura asked the question that had just stumped her right now.

"The temple to Auriga's core. Among all of the ruins of the Endless. The Temple was rumored to be the biggest and housing the greatest amounts of artifacts. Many greedy treasure hunters and devoted scholars have died trying to find it. But Sophia was the only won who saw it and even came back with one of the artifacts. That artifact, 'the weapon' that Merovech used to gain independence from Ghogthal was so powerful and it hinted of what kind of artifacts are being housed. Alas, the location of the Temple died with her when Galerian, out of greed hunted her down."Rowan said.

"So what happens if the Temple was found again by the wrong people?"

"Then I must decree that you must find it before they do! In the Aksyarrite desert, their is an old White Dust Church that houses a relic left unguarded and untouched for millenias called 'The Eyes of Auriga'. Here is a map to guide you on your journey."Rowan conjured a map and gave it to Sakura.

"When you have the eye, use it to find the Temple then make haste there before anyone who would use the Temple's power for evil get there first."Rowan said.

"Why didn't you use the eye before hand? Like right after Sophia was killed?"Sakura inquired.

"I am on the run and the White Dust Church in Aksyar was one of the places they would try to look for me. So I made the sand and mountains swallow it whole to hide it. I made that map to remind myself and to guide other White Bishops to the church if the time to use the Eyes becomes apparent. And speaking of going on the run, I am going with Miroslaw to your planet on Jira's expedition."Rowan said.

"Really? But we just met? There's more things you can teach me and I still don't understand my powers."Sakura pleaded.

Rowan placed his hand on Sakura. She could sense that the Broken Lord was 'smiling' to her like a parent to a child.

"Do not think of me as a teacher. Let go of what you know of everything about 'being taught' when you are a White Dust Bishop. I am not here to give you the right answers like a mother feeding her child with a spoon. You must learn how to swim on our teachings yourself. And if you ever feel lost, find me in your dreams. We are all connected to each other, one way or the other."Rowan let go of Sakura's hand. He left Sakura alone in the shipyard for awhile standing alone thinking of what the Bishop told her.

-------------------------------

(One week later)

"Ok....gently.....gently....gently....."Miroslaw said to Ju Jingyi.

The mad doctor of the Red Dust Bishops had performed an eye transplant on the Chinese 48 girl. Unlike all of his surgeries which had instant result, Eye transplant required patience rather than the doctor's usually invasive procedures. He was still happy to do it anyway just so he can leave Baizan knowing that he has done something good before leaving for the Earth Expedition. It took him awhile to find the right pair of eyes in his collection of body parts but now his hardwork has finally bore fruit.

The shipyard had resumed normal operations and the ships were now ready to go. All of the people who have volunteered for the expedition were preparing to embark. The Deathsworn Knights were given a share of the Paladin armor and weapons that Wulfgar took from the Red Suns while another share was given to Gewis so he and the scholars back in Gimael can find away to produce them again while the rest were given to Rainoric that he had several of his best men use.

"Is...it morning?"Kikuchan said with her new pair of brown eyes.

"Indeed it is. Paruru, give me the test cards."Rowan ordered.

Paruru had written some eye test cards written in Chinese to help check if Ju's eyes were working properly.

"1,2,3 Cat, Water and Blue."Ju Jingyi spoke in her native tongue.

"Success! Her eyes are fixed and the world is balanced again!"Miroslaw celebrated.

"Hooray! Now, I know that Jira hired you to be the expeditions doctor and I trust you so here. Me an my friends have written these letters to our families. See to it that they received them." Takamina said handing down a pile of enveloped letters to Miroslaw.

"Thy will is the Mother's will Minami. I shall see to it. Come now, have your Skutatoi help me carry my gear to the ship." Miroslaw said.

-----------------------

One of the many weapons that Wulfgar recovered from the Paladin stash from the Red Suns was a plasma pistol. It fires armor eating plasma at anyone who receives it. He was shooting a few rounds at a target dummy that was burnt to a crisp when his shots landed.

Churi was walking up to the targetting range to also practice and seeing Rainoric playing with his new toy.

"No f****** chance I am keeping this s***! I can't wait to burn someones face off with this little kiddie."Rainoric showed the gun to Churi before holstering it.

"Not even thinking about it. Say, you want to test your aim? A little competition? I'll go easy on you."Churi smiled.

"First to 10 is the winner."Rainoric accepted the challenge.

Churi pulled out her crossbow and began to fire her weapon at the targets. Rainoric quick draws his plasma pistol and also fired at them too.

"So, how's you and Osgar doing?"Rainoric asked.

"Shh, don't reveal the surprise. But he is taking a bath right now and I stole his clothes while he is still inside."Churi chuckled.

"I thinking I'm gonna like you already."Rainoric laughed.

--------------------------

Miyuki was crying as Rena comforted her. She called for her to Belisarius Tent that she shared with him. She had been experiencing nausea and strange sensations around her body that she have never felt before. Rena came to her and scanned her body with Red Dust and was shocked to realise what she is having.

Belisarius who was also called by Miyuki came in with a cup of wine at his hand.

"Miyuki, you wanted to tell me something?"Belisarius asked.

Rena stood up and walked pass him but not before saying:

"Best I leave you alone."

Miyuki turned around to Belisarius and walked to him. She placed his hand on her stomach and whispered to his ears.

"I am pregnant..."

Belisarius dropped his wine and it spilled on the floor like blood shed.
