It had been several days since Forgoil had last been in the graveyard; he had last been there with Persephone, and it was that experience that drew him back to the graveyard once more. There he stood, towering over a moss encrusted tombstone; wondering why he was drawn to it so. Clearly there must be some reason, but it didn't show itself. He stooped in front of the tombstone, wondering to what was beneath its layers of time and decay.
He recoiled, not wanting to temper with the dead, but some inner power drove him on, and with meticulous movements, Forgoil slowly pulled off the moss. The name on the tombstone was hard to make out, but the closer he peered to examine it, the more he desired to see its true form. Slowly tracing his finger across the outline of the name, Forgoil began to figure out what letters consisted in the name of the deceased.
A..r..t..h..e..d..a..i..n. What kind of name is that?, pondered Forgoil. Despite this small hesitation, he continued to decipher the ancient tombstone. H..a..l..i..f.. stopping in mid-thought, Forgoil fell back wards to the shock he received from uncovering the name. Stunned be the recent discovery, all Forgoil could do was stare at the inscription.
So...There was another.

"Visiting someone?" A voice rang in the air around Forgoil. There was stillness after the voice spoke, but it wasn't quite clear where the voice came from at first. The stillness was broken by the sound of rushing fire, and then the question to who spoke was answered. A man of an unknown age, looking to be about in his 20s, appeared, sitting on a nearby monument. He had ice blue eyes, a mane of stark white hair, and wore a long robe of ashen black. The way his face was constructed looked to be perfect in every single way.
He had not wanted to come here since the incident before. In fact, he had almost been afraid to come back. Afraid to return to the place where he found such peace. Now he knew better - now he knew that he could not return to his gentle grave ever again. So he had decided to visit the graveyard once more, only to find yet another student simply wandering around as if the Graveyard was the place to be.
"Or are you just macabre?"

Not really noticing the voice who had just spoken, he knew that the owner embodied a vast of amount of power; it had shown through in its voice. Slowly turning to face the voice, Forgoil saw a being of such radiance that he felt like he was being blinded just by the person's voice. Such people were not to be trifled with, but Forgoil didn't know whether to fear or to accept this being.
Speaking in a slow, calm voice, Forgoil responded to the heavenly being,"Tis for neither of those purposes. I have discovered something that may prove to be of great significance to me. Why are you here, o mighty one? Why does the likes of you visit such dark and dismal places? Have you lost something as well?"

Persephone followed her usual path to her mother's grave. How many times had she tread this path? Surely to many to recount. Why am I doing this? Persephone could remember the last time she was here. It had been for the same reason. She reached her mother's grave and set a new bouque of white roses on her mother's grave. She looked up as she thought she had heard talking. Her long blond hair wipped around, and her emerald eyes searched for source of the sound.

A smug smirk appeared on the Valkerie's face as Forgoil responded to his question. The boy seemed philosophical - only people who pondered life responded in such an archaic way. "O mighty one, hmm?" He repeated, letting it ride on his tongue in a satisfied way. "Yes, I like that." It was surprising that the boy saw right through him into his Valkerie nature. He supposed it was obvious, having such a resplendent aura, but he showed no sign of his true form.
Before he went to answer the boy's question, he heard footsteps coming from the distance. 'People visit here too often,' he thought to himself, 'Rather odd, actually...and I thought this graveyard was practically abandoned.' Looking over he saw a blonde haired girl holding a bouquet of white flowers. "Pretty," he muttered to himself, "She always liked white flowers too on her grave." But his attention was soon brought back to the boy who stood beneath him.
"Searching for something of use to you, hmm? A legacy perhaps? A secret chamber hidden beneath a tomb? Catacombs?" He had heard the like before. He decided to keep what he had been doing there a secret, for he wished to remain as shrouded in mystery as possible.

Persephone saw the man for what he was. A Valkerie...does Forgoil know what he is? She stood there for what seemed like forever. Her young heart pounded against her chest, and the sound reverberated through her small body. She wouldn't say anything, not until she was sure what was happening here.

Forgoil keep his gaze on this mysterious and powerful being, but he heard footsteps and out of the corner of his eye noticed Persephone. Being enthralled to the radiance of this creature, Forgoil nodded in Persephone's direction, but remained enchanted by the being. "Mighty one," replied Forgoil," I know not what I seek;yet I continue to seek for it. All that I know is that my identity is what I seek; my past; who my family was; why no one came for me." Fighting becack remnants of emotion, Forgoil continued to gaze at the glorious being.
"Seeing how you radiate such power and wisdom, it seems unnecessary to introduce myself, mighty one. But would you permit me to learn your name?" asked Forgoil, not wavering once during the ordeal.

Persephone didn't move. She didn't know exactly where this was going, but she didn't want Forgoil to end up getting hurt. It was best to pretend she was mute. She closed her eyes and could hear the blood rushing through out her body. Please don't do anything stupid Forgoil...

Kaiser's eyes swiftly moved over to look at the girl holding the bouquet of white flowers. For some reason, she seemed horrified at his very presence. The Valkerie smirked, thinking over the ridiculous air of it all. But then, he had been gone for a long time. The sight of the Valkerie Kaiser Inferno may have lost its connotation.
Looking back to examine the boy further, a cold sharp laugh came from his radiant mouth. "Orphan, hmm? Yes, I suppose the two of us are in the same boat then. I don't have any parents either." This was true, yet there was one slight flaw in the situation which the Valkerie would not make known just yet. "Yet I don't know why, if you never knew who your family was in the first place, you'd go searching in a graveyard for your past. It's rather morbid."
His eyes glimmered slightly paler at the inquiry of the boy, "I don't think so...not yet, anyhow. My name is still of no importance to you." He said this last line with a rather bitter tone, different from the sly and cunning tone that once fell from his mouth.

"My apologies, mighty one; I shouldn't have asked that question," replied Forgoil. When such bitterness laced one's words, he knew not to press any farther."I come to the graveyard because no where else proved to be of use; there were no records, books, nothing. It seemed wise to search the graveyard because from death springs new life; from the ashes of my family's past, I hope to resurrect my future,"answered Forgoil, yet now his green-gray eyes hardened with the asking of his next question, "if such things are so morbid, why do you come here, mighty one?"

Persephone closed her green eyes. It was not fear of this particular Valkerie that had been infecting her. It was the memory of death .She knew what they were capable of , and she knew Forgoil was pushing his luck. The valkerie did not have to answer to the rules of the school and that made him even more dangerous. I hope you know what you're doing Forgoil.

Kaiser listened to the boy explain himself, his eyes sometimes flashing over to look at the girl with the white flowers. When at last he questioned him, Kaiser scoffed a bit. The boy obviously knew that he preferred not to answer questions. None the less, Kaiser supposed that this particular question would not be too much of a strain. "Not morbid for a dead man to be in a graveyard," he said simply, not going to press the topic.
"Yet I don't see anything dead about you. You've come in hope of finding a gravestone holding your family surname on it, and then what? Then you'll know that you had a family, yes, but that your family is dead. Not much of a consolation prize, is it? You're right back where you began." The Valkerie closed his eyes for a moment, and opened them again. They flashed with a glowing white light for a single moment, and then vanished. "Not to mention..." He added softly, "...your "name" isn't your family's name, Forgoil Halifirien. It's just a silly name you gave yourself."

Shocked that the being know the truth, Forgoil's mind reeled in confusion. So, finding that surname that he created for himself was just a waste. He would have stolen another's identity to try and find his own. Why did he search for his past if he didn't remember his first name that his parents had given? He felt like a fool, seeing how it was a fruitless effort to carry on his burden.
He then sat with his back against the tombstone and stared up at the being. Compared to him, he was a thin blade of grass standing the in presence of a rose. The night air whipped about the graveyard, causing Forgoil's hair and robes to move in the wind, yet the coldness didn't affect him; for Forgoil already felt coldness; he had been tricking himself this whole time. Slowly, he gazed up the towering being, trying to find some further meaning behind his words, yet he could find nothing. In a somewhat defeated whisper, Forgoil said,"So, nothing can be hide from you can it? Unless you desire to hide it. So, now am I to hopeless wander, wearing a false coat, false skin, and a false name? Is that what is in store for the likes of me?"

Kaiser's smirk seemed to vanish at these words. He was not frowning, nor smiling. His expression was utterly bland. For a few moments he leaned over the monument, staring at the hopeless boy. He at last could not hold it in any longer, and burst out laughing the same mirthless laugh as before. "Nothing can be hidden from me, because you are the same as me." He jumped from the monument at last, still towering over the boy. "Orphan...lost without any knowledge of your parents..."
He turned his head to look straight at the girl with the white flowers, though he was not speaking to her. "Not even knowing your real name. I suppose you could say you have it bad, but I have it worse." He closed his eyes once more, and when he opened them the white glow was still within them. However, they did not fade this time. From the back of his robe, in the holes that seemed to be ripped within, out stretched two gigantic black wings. His hair seemed to glimmer more than before, and he grew even taller.
"My older sister killed my "Father" before I hardly even knew him. I knew his name, at the very least, but I knew nothing about him. I never bonded with him...nothing. I don't even have a name. None of us do. We had to give them to ourselves, so like you I have a false name." He turned to look at the boy again, his white eyes still glimmering as if a shining flame burned behind them. "I am Kaiser Inferno, the Third Valkerie."

Valkerie mused Forgoil Why such a name? Observing Kaiser, his first thoughts about him proved correct. Kaiser was not as he seemed and the black wings that burst from his sides only confirmed this. The white flame that could be seen behind Kaiser's eyes showed his power and this would have normally frightened Forgoil; but now he was so frustrated with himself and confused that he didn't notice. He thought of Kaiser's position, but he still had one thing Forgoil longed to have. "Yet mighty one, you mention "us", so surely you must have family outside of your parents," said Forgoil, with all signs of emotion leaving his voice,"You have a shoulder to cry on; you have ones who care; you have ones who you can relay on, why should you despair?"
