2 Episode 2

"So the decision has been made" said Lady Astema, "Norn? Norn, my eyes are up here." Daigo stood for a moment fixated on Lady Astema's chest region. "Huh? Oh yeah, sorry my lady," Daigo quickly replied looking up. "You sadden me," Drake said glaring. "What?! I appreciate a beautifully gifted women, what can I say?" Asked Daigo grinning. "You could apologize," Drake replied. Daigo stood for a moment, "Eh, even if I do it'll happen again, so no point really." Lady Astema stared and shook her head, " Anyways, like I mentioned before the summit will be held in the Drakovian capital city of Raiez." "THE ROYAL CITY?!" Daigo cried, "There are so many places I want to visit there, like for instance Drake they have the best strip joi...." Lady Astema glared blushingly. "What I meant to say is it has such a rich history and it would be great to visit our allied nation," Said Daigo quickly. "Never mind," said Drake, "Your despicable." "I am what I am," Daigo replied. "Can we stay on track?" Asked Lady Astema, "The summit will be held in the royal palace, and to avoid too much we will only be taking a small handful of Sentinels with us along with you two." Daigo sighed, "My lady no disrespect, but that seems a bit foolish, especially with Necrosis being the unpredictable fiends that they are, I don't see why we take the risk?" Lady Astema walked towards the window overlooking the city below. "Mephis is a cold hearted bastard, however he does believe in a sense of morality even if he'd rather cut out his own heart, we will be fine," Lady Astema replied. After a moment Drake looked up from the map that was spread on the table, "So when do we leave?"

"Everything is set in place," said Ij, "I am surprised Emperor Zias is willing to take this risk." "As irrational as the plan is it's the only option we can take to end this war," River replied. Ij sighed, "What about them?" Asked River, "I have battled Sin before and you Frost what's the problem?" Ij frowned, "What about her? You know what they are both capable of Blaze and if they catch on to this plan there will be trouble." River glared and turned away. "What happened on that day haunts me even now, but that's why this needs to happen," River replied. The doors opened behind the two. "Ah my two favorite Avatars, I do hope that the plans are underway?" Asked Emperor Zias. "Yes," River replied. "Very good Blaze, now for the summit to begin."

"So we're going then?" Dan asked. I walked toward the ice covered window and stared out at the snow covered rooftops. "Lord Mephis won't turn down a chance to gloat to his enemy," I replied. Dan grunted and walked towards the double doors. "You want to face him again don't you?" Dan asked. I turned, "I will end him this time." Dan grinned and pushed open the doors, "Nightshade?" He asked. "I was not snooping I swear," Jon replied, "Lord Mephis asked me to get the both of you." I turned, "Hm its that time already isn't it." We entered the throne room, Mephis sat in his throne smiling, "I take it you three already know why you are here?" Asked Lord Mephis. We nodded, "The summit gathering, are you sure about this my Lord?" I asked, "I have second thoughts." "I am well aware of your concerns, but I know these fools aren't stupid enough to cause trouble," Lord Mephis replied with a grin, "Also I have my own intentions for going to this little gathering." "Rapture?" I asked. Mephis smiled, "It's a myth, but then again so is Midnight, and history has shown which on the two is stronger." I could feel my heart skip a beat, he wasn't planning on using that at the summit was he? "It's time for us to take our leave," Mephis said after a moment of silence, "Let's see what our opposers have to say to us."
