::The world is changing. Old gods are being replaced by new religions, old cities are now pulsing with new life and technology. Warriors and heros of the past are slowly dieing out. During the afternoon in the middle of summer, a sort of sadness falls upon Avalon. The heavens begin to weep as drops of rain fall to the ground. Ontop of the hill in the graveyard outside Avalon, Yeramo stood above two tombstones. He stands their looking down at the two graves as rain drops from his face, blending in with his tears. On closer enspection, there were names on each of the graves. The one on the left said "Desoto Makiou 'The Sonic Fist' " and on the right tomb was the name "Albert Seibolt 'The Black Raven' ". Yeramo felt as if his world had fallen apart. He was now completely alone in this world. All the familiar faces he knew all his life were now gone, and only he had survived. He looked up at the sky wondering to himself why he was the one still alive. Yeramo then slowly took out the sword that belonged to Albert and rammed it into Albert's grave. then took two elven daggers and rammed them into Desoto's grave. He looked down at the ground as his eyes began to burn from the tears streaming down his face. How he deeply wished he could die and join his friends and family in the heavens, But he knew that there was one last thing he must complete before moving on. This would be his final journey.::

Leshana walked up behind him. A hooded cloak covered her, protecting her from the rain. She placed a small hand on his shoulder.... "The old world dies my friend and we are dieing along with it... Just be glad that they no longer have to watch the suffering as our stories become legends...and our world begins to crumble..."

::Keeping his eyes on the ground, he lets out a small sigh and says, "The world we once knew is no more. The time has come for us to put an end to our stories.::

::A sad expression came upon his face as he said, "Recently I've been sensing a great force of power. I have no idea whoes causing it, but I do know that whoever they are, they have come with evil intent. I haven't been the only one to sense this either. It was Zackery who first confronted me about this. Leshana......this may just be the final days of Avalon as we know it, and i'm afraid that not even with our strength, we could defeat what ever is heading our way.::

she deverted her eyes and spoke in a soft whisper... "I know Yeramo...i know....i too sensed it..." She looked out down the hill towards the castle.... "I don't want to frighten my people... But i know we cannot fight it... I want to tell them but i dont want Avalon's last day to be one full of terror.... I have journals hidden... they speak of the kingdoms history from beggining to end.... Maybe someday someone will happen to come across these books and let the story be known again..." She looked to her old friend as a soft smile came to her face. "Thank you, Yeramo, for always sticking by me, and by the kingdom...You helped form it...and you will always be apart of it"

She smiled one of her special smiles. "I willl warn my people but i myslfe will not flee. This is my kingdom, my home... Its been my life and i cannot abandon it not now and not ever. I will send my children away with the people. Under their guidance will my citezens prosper without me and the kingdom they will live on. But i fear for them." She looked down at the graves before her "I don't want my people to perish and i don't want them to forget Avalon either. When i return home i will send out word to all the people they all will have a choice to leave Avalon or perish along with it." She looked up to her old friend.

Leshana...do as you wish, I'm choosing to stay behind, but you....you must go and live on with your people. They need you. Without you, this peice of land isn't Avalon. Remember, its not the land that makes the kindgom, it is the people within it that does. As long as you and the Avalonians remain, then Avalon can never truely die. ::He looked up at her once more:: I have sent out one final call for help hoping to give you guys enough time to flee to safety. You must take your people and travel west across the mountains, and across the great sea. There, you shall come apon ruins of an ancient city. That city was the place of my birth.....Taron. From there, proceed north til you reach a large valley. It will be there, that you and your people shall rebuild Avalon. You should have no trouble befriending the surrounding races. Just mention that I sent you, and they shall help you rebuild.

She smiled sadly. "No my friend i have ruled long enough. Avalon will live on in stories and hopefully in the hearts of my people. I will not abandon my kingdom. Tis time for one chapter to end and another to begin. Im closing the book on this chapter. If my kingdom falls then i will go down with it. I am old, I am tired. Alexzandra is already gathering the citezens and preparing them to leave. She is capable of taking over and leading our people to safty. I have faith in her. This castle is the heart of Avalon and so it always shall be. I am connected to that heart i cannot leave it My soul is one with Avalon. If it dies then so do i...Simplt put, I am Avalon and Avalon is me. And i will stand tall and face what is going to come. One can rule for only so long.. and i have ruled for far too long... Please my friend, understand why i speak this way... "

::He then gently places his hand on her shoulder:: Out of all the time that I've known you...you still are full of suprises. Your heart is strong and true Leshana. ::He then wraps his arms around her gently hugging her:: Wherever you go my friend...I shall follow.

Her eyes were moist with tears as she looked to her friend. She brought her feeling undercontrol and she forced a smile. "What would that be my friend?"

::He then slowly reached deep into his coat and brought back out his hand closed into a fist. He slowly opened his hand infront of her revealing the vampiric stone. It was faintly glowing a dark bluish color.::
