Exclaimed Matt, Gabriel's classmate from some time ago. "Man, a grim day like this just makes ya wanna...FIND your own fun, eh? I mean, the weather was perfect earlier today...then again, it IS almost nightfall." He went on, not talking to anyone in particular. Sighing, he made his decision. "Ah, I got it! I'll call up ol' Gabe!" He whipped out his cell phone in a flashy manner, and called Gabriel only to get an answering machine. "Damn, well..." He pondered a little while longer. "Guess I'll drop in on my favorite set of twins.

-Back at Jessica's place-

"What brings you here today Gabriel? I don't remember calling or having plans." She said, heading over to her couch. Man...she said my full name, this isn't good...yeah, I knew it, she's still shaken by that one festival. Okay now, this is it, don't even mention what happened at... Taking his shoes off, still near the door, Gabriel blurted out his question. "Wanna go to festival this year?" Jessica, unexpectedly looked up to him, and answered with a smile. "Sure thing..." She isn't serious...is she? Gabriel went over to the couch, and sat on the opposite side of her, to confront her. I need to help her, just like she helped me... "Listen Jess, forget what happened last time, okay? That was pure coincedence, and an unfortunate one at that. There was no way that was supposed happen." As he explained, Jessica's smile melted away, and a stern glare took over. "I'm not gonna stop outta this Jess...To tell you the truth, I don't care about the festival..." He moved closer as he went on, with her glare turning into a look of mixed emotions. "Listen, I'm grateful for what you did for me on...that day, on my parent's...anniversary. No, I'm eternally grateful for what you did that day." Jess's eyes began to tear up. "Now, think of this however you want, returning the favor, being a good friend, whatever, it doesn't matter to me." He grabbed her shoulders and looked her dead in the eyes. "You were there when I needed you the most, and now here you are, in YOUR time of need, and-" He was cut off by Jessica, overjoyed by this sudden talk from her best friend. He lifted her head up by her chin, and wiped her tears away. They stayed silent, only looking in each others eyes...

-In a seemingly abandoned house-

"Carmen, are you sure we must do this...here? It's creeping me out..." Camilla asked, with a flask of green liquid in hand, while her sister carved a large rune in the floor. Her sister merely laughed, brimming with new energy Camilla is unfamiliar with. "C-carmen, please answer me..." Finishing up the rune, Carmen dashed toward her sister, coming face to face. Again she grabbed pulled Camilla by her neck, and gently pulled her toward herself. "Don't you see, dear sister?! We're close to acheiving our goal!" She said, slowly positioning Camilla at one end of the rune. She took a vial and poured some of the flasks contents into it, and walking back to the other rune. "Drink, my sister, and let us begin the incantation!" They both drank the strange liquid, and began chanting in a strange language, with the only word distinguishable being "Tatzetselvan". As they continued, the sky began to darken, despite the sun setting, and the rune, along with the girls, began to glow an eerie green. They eventaully collapsed and the rune shone with walls of light so strong, the roof of the house destroyed, and dispelled the darkness that set itself in the sky, revealing nightfall, as the sun had finally fully set.

"This dark force...it's truly too familiar to not remember...I must concentrate harder!" Ambrosia said, hoping the events unfolding wouldn't lead up to what she fears...

-Meanwhile-

"Farewell...Tatzetselvan!"

You...traitorous....! I'll not forget thi-

Tatzetselvan's presence could no longer be felt.

"Shshshsh...Manipulating that women was a stroke of genius! We've-"

"I'VE successfully rid us of that nuisance...now it is time to unleash _________ power!"

"Shshshsh, what was that!"

"Seems as though you're not even worthy enough to hear _________ name..."
