I was leaning against the railing and pulled in the lovely scent of the afternoon sun and seawater. The ship moved slowly on the sea and the boat did not drive faster than 11 bud. Avalon joined up beside me and leaned on the railing and we both looked out at the ocean and watched the sun started to go down far away in the horizon and the sky colored in a beautiful shade of pink. I sighed. 
- "Do you regret it?" He asked without tearing his eyes from the horizon. I shook my head. 
- "Not at all., I am where I am needed and it is here along with all of you." I answered him. 
- "It was the best if you stayed at home, than come with us." He mumbled on and notched still that I stubbornly had followed. 
- "Oh my God, you're still being uncooperative about that?" I turned around with my back against the railing. - "I've been through worse things, you might remember a few months ago that you and Elisabeth struggled to get me alive!" I pulled down the shirt that revealed a scar from a gunshot. Avalon just looked quickly at it before his eyes continued to look at the horizon.

- "True, but this will not be so nice., We do not know what the resistance we will face." He murmured low.
- "Probably the same as the last. Gunshot, only it's not Derek shooting this time!"
- "Right, now it's not Derek shooting. These men are out to kill, their shots will hit what they are aiming for!" Avalon's voice where irritated and he stood up and his eyes looked into mine. And now I understood what this was about, and I smiled.
- "What are you smiling at?" He wondered, when I went from annoyance to look at him with an amused smile.
- "Do you care about me?" I smiled a bit too wide to him. Avalon looked like he had swallowed the sword and cleared his throat.
- "Of course I do, I care about you all, I wish that nothing bad will happen to you!" He cleared his throat and I started laughing.
- "That would explain a lot of why you are so overprotective!" He stared at me. I put my arms folded across chest, looking down at the hull.

- "Do not get you lot of nonsense now!" Avalon's tone of voice changed, and he became serious. I did not look up, but continued to stare into the bright hull.
- "What should I believe that?" I asked then. - "Actually, I have seen that you only have your eyes for Elisabeth, but as I see, so she avoids you." I bit my lip, closed my eyes and waited for the impact. Nothing came so I went and stood up and turned around so Avalon just looked back at me. I smiled inwardly and felt warm, but what kind of sense it was, I could not understand myself, it was only just that it was pleasant.
- "It's not what you think!" He said, his voice where stress of this whole situation. I stopped and listened. - "Elisabeth and I have always been good friends and we have always worked well together, but there is no such thing among us." The voice sounded different to him. I turned around.

- "In what way, it's not what I heard. Rumours are circulating that there is something between you two., I am a little shocked that you two did not know about it!" I smiled. Avalon did not smile and he could not understand how I could smile about the whole situation.
- ", It is nothing between us and we both talked to each other about it. There are no such feelings between us." He said quickly, Supplied and seemed to abide by its final desired response.
Someone cleared his throat behind us and Elisabeth stood there.
- "The captain Brus invite us to dinner before we get off!" She said nervously, and I could see the sadness in her face.
- "We will be down soon."
- "We come at once!" I turned toward the Avalon again, smiled, and went with Elisabeth down to the galley.

Avalon stood on the deck and looked at how we disappeared in sight. He turned one last time toward the horizon and watched the sun disappeared down beyond the sea, and a glow of orange and pink glow up. Soon it would be dark, and it was their signal.

Dark Core:
She stood a long time and was fascinated by the beautiful pink light from Pandora. A little now and then she could see how their energy trying to push out of its prison, but how it tried, it was pointless.
- "What do you think miss, it will be fine?" Claire turned to settlement. She studied it for a moment and nodded.
- "It is good enough, do not forget the snares." She said and went back to check on Pandora pink light.

Soon it would happen and it would be done soon too. A suffering less. She smiled and began to move inward toward Mr. Sands office.
She steps into the office without knocking, and already it was fully up and running in the office. Two of the men beat a man who was already down. She did not care so much about it, a fraudster has to take his punishment.
Mr. Sands sat behind his desk and looked at how his men beat and kicked at the prone man.
- "We are getting closer to being ready." She whispered to him. He nodded and stood up.
- "End it here and get rid of the body!" He said and left the office with Claire.

The men laughed while they continued to kick at lying man. When the man appeared to be unconscious, put them down for a while, drank a little of Mr. Sands fine Whiskey and celebrated. The lying man got enough power to get up and he turned his face towards the men. Their punches and kicks did not seem to have had an effect on the man. Although his face was full of bruises after old scars, replaced by new, he was alert enough to tackle them.

He stood in defense possition, holding out his hands to them and waved them in, with a smile.
The men did not hesitate. They went to attack together. The man struck them down with two punches before he then hurried to the computer and started looking through it.
He found a file with pictures of Emma and Derek, when they where together for the last month. In another file, he found information about Pandora's light and what it was all about. He pressed the print and got everything printed on paper.

The door opened and the man came into the room.
- "Hell you scared me!" Leon growled and puffed out.
- "You look like shit!" The man smiled and looked down on the men, who were completely eliminated.
- "I've seen better!" Leon smiled and shut down the computer. - "Come, we must get down to the lower platform. Avalon and they should be here soon!" He said, and they both rushed out of the office.

- "What about Emma?" Wondered Conrad when they hurried through the hallways to get down to the bottom.
- "Exhausted and decrepit., I'm almost afraid that she resigned, her willpower is gone." Leon replied him when they hurried down the stairs.
- "You gave her no hope?" Wondered Conrad. Leon shook his head.
- "She did fall asleep before I could say or do anything., I possess no powers that Avalon and Elisabeth, or as our other in Aiden's patron., I'm just a spy, just like you." Conrad laughed.
- "I'm a little more than a spy."
They continued down the hallway and soon came to the very end. Conrad lit a torch and shone over the sea and the mists. Very soon, he could see a light through the fog that blinked in response. Conrad continued to flash the flashlight until the small skiff approached.
- "What does Conrad here?" Chiara's voice was heard over the waves, and they both sighed when they heard her.

Chiara:
The little boat struck the oil platform and Aiden patrons jumped aboard the oil platform.
- "And what is she doing here?" Conrad was not the least bit happy to see someone without power or strength to be in place.
- "Shut up you, I am here for the same reason as you!" I growled at him.
- "Do not nag at her., I have tried to keep her away, but I could not." Muttering Avalon and looked around. - "What do you know?" He asked them before he then looked into Leon's face. - "You look awful!" He smiled and Leon smiled back.
- "I've seen worse."
- "Well, he looks like shit, what's going on?" Elisabeth had gone in between them.
- "They have planned a ritual for Pandora's light and then a ritual for Derek., I found out they're going to traumatize the girl to help break her down before she sent in to Pandora where she will disappear forever." Said Conrad.
- "What is the ritual?" Alex wondered anxiously.
- "A ritual to kill Derek." Muttered Conrad depressed.
