Malachi raced along the castle that he had visited once before. He seemed to be getting closer to where Harya was being held, when he was Ven come into view. Malachi charged, knocking the dark elf over. He pointed his sword at Ven's neck.

"Tell me where Harya is!"

"If I tell you...will you kill me after...?" Ven said in a pittaful voice.

Malachi looked like he was ready to comply when he saw the pain in Ven's eyes. He withdrew his sword and stood up, looking down at the dark elf.

"I have done an awful thing...so awful that I deserve to die..." Ven said as he looked away.

"Enough about you! Tell me where Harya is!"

"Down this hall...5 doors to the right..."

Malachi ran off, leaving Ven where he layed.
The guardian's coat flapped behind him as he ran at top speed down the hall. He was determined to get his lover back to safety. He got to the door and saw that it was locked. He got ready to tear it down when Ven came by and held out the key to him.

"Here...But I must warn you, it's not pretty."

Malachi snatched the key from Ven's hand and forcefully got the lock off the door.
He walked into the dark room, his boots and Harya's labored breathing was all that could be heard. Malachi glanced off to the right and saw a familliar figure curled up in the corner. He advanced towrds him but was stopped by Kaye's voice.

"Pretty little thing is'nt he?" Kaye's voiced echoed thru the room.

Malachi turned and faced the lord.
"What did you do to him?"

"We played a little game off dress up that's all. Then we got board of that game, so we toom turns "playing" with him." Kaye grinned deviously.

Malachi started feeling more enraged than ever.
"So all three of you bastards took advantage of him, am I right?"

Kaye nodded.
"The boy needs to learn to lighten up. Or maybe you need to be more rough with him. Either way, we all enjoyed our time with him."

Malachi clutched his sword as he saw a guilty Ven from the doorway. Malachi turned and looked at Kaye, gritting his teeth.

"Harya is not some toy you guys cna share! He is a living being with feelings...and you monsters failed to see that!"

"Temper, temper Malachi. We dont want to awake your Diablo do you?"

Malachi froze and clutched his arm where his demon scar was.
"How...did you know...?"

"Because, my dear angel. The demon that possesses you, belongs to me."

Malachi soon snapped. He backed up deeper into the room as his normal blue colored eye began to bleed as it turned to red.
This time, something seemed diffrent. His scar also began to bleed as his teeth became more pointed. His nails then grew into sharper claws. He was brought to his knees in excutiating pain as the original black wings tore from his back. An extra set tore directly under those. Blood dripped from the wings and his back as he stood up slowly. His hair now longer than his original length, and a silvery white instead of the navy purple.

His eyes were now both red as he looked at Kaye, with a drugged expression on his face.
Kaye grinned and chuckled as he saw the sight of Malachi's Diablo form. His expression changed when he saw a look of homicide on Malachi's face. He let out a demonic roar, as the pendant that claimed him a guardian broke into tiny pieces.
He spread his claws and took off after Kaye. The lord jumped out of the way as the Diablo crashed thru the wall.

"He's close...I can feel him..." Qyrin said to Freedan.

The elven woman insisted on going, since it was her cousin that was kidnapped. The two raced up to the castle doors, only to be stopped by the sound of glass breaking. They looked up and saw Kaye and an unfamiliar body falling.
Qyrin's eyes grew wide as he felt a horrid feeling within him. Sweat dripped down his face as he started muttering things.

"Qyrin...? Qyrin can you hear me?" Freedan pleaded.
"Mala...chi's....Diablo...."

Freedan knew what a diablo was. She looked up to see the quad winged demon wrestleing with Kaye. Freedan looked away and ran into the castle. Qyrin snapped from his horror as he followed Freedan inside. She raced down the halls and found the debris from the fight. He walked in and saw Harya in the corner. She raced to him and covered him up with her cloak.

"Miss. Freedan...you're not going to transform are you...?" Qyrin asked.
"I have to...it's the only way I can get him home quickly."

She stood up and glowed a light blue color as she changed into her unicorn form. Qyrin picked up Harya and placed him on Freedan's back. Just then Frenge entered the room.

"Perfect. The lead unicorn here in the castle."
"Freedan. You get him out, I can take care of him."

She nodded and raced off as Qyrin summoned his Gates of Heaven sword as Frenge changed into a bear. They both lunged at the same time exchanging blows.

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

Mohegan was waiting outside when he smelled the famillair sent of Freedan. She raced up to him.

"Mohegan. Go help Qyrin, he may need it."

Mohegan complied and turned into a wolf and took off, as Freedan galloped inside the inn and to their room.
Jephith and Shenia saw Freedan with Harya and raced to help their fallen comrade.

Qyrin was exiting the castle, holding one arm as he saw Mohegan come up to him.
"Are you okay?"

"Im fine...but I need to find my brother..."

"Hop on." Mohegan croched down and took off where Qyrin guided him.

They soon came to a lake, heavy with fog. Mohegan looked around and found Kaye's cape snagged on a tree.

"Do you think Malachi killed him..."
"...Hard to say...I hardly doubt it thou.." Qyrin said, sliding off Mohegan's back.

Mohegan sniffed the ground as Qyrin tried to block the pain from his brother. He then heard Mohegan's voice as he walked over in his direction. He saw his brother, still in Diablo form, half bodied in the water. Mohegan pulled him out and jumped back, seeing what he had become.

"...His Diablo form...we've heard of this back when we learned he was cursed."

"Will he change back...?" Mohegan asked.

"We dont know..." Qyrin then saw that Malachi guardian necklace was missing.
"...He may be like this forever...." He was nearly brought to tears.

"What should we do.."

"We'll take him back and we'll figure something out. No one can see him, especially not Harya nor Jephtih."

They both got Malachi on Mohegan's back as Qyrin took off by air.

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

They got Malachi back and placed him in the inn's basement. They went to their room to see how Harya was doing. He was cleaned up and laying in bed. Freedan was sitting next to him as she looked up at the two.

"How is he..?" Mohegan asked.

"Tired and sore.." Freedan replied.

They were silent until Harya shifted and opened his eyes a little. He spoke in a weak tone.
"Where's Malachi...I want to see him..."

Qyrin looked away, knowing that Malachi may become a fallen angel, and no longer Harya's guardian or lover.
