(Whenever your ready Gensayce.)
Van stared into the storm,trying to fight off a memory. He thought that it was cruel that he still remembered her face. Her spirit had gone peacefully into the afterlife, and he was alone again. He tuned and stepped into his ice cave. Surprisingly, the interior was blanketed with albino mammoth fur. He had found a herd of mammoths somewhere in Antarctica.
A hot spring had formed under the mile-thick ice, and mammoths had moved into the area where it was warm. The mammoths were albino because they had developed under the ice, away from the sun. Van was probably one the only people in this world that knew about the subterranean paradise.
Van, however, was very tan from the constant walks he had taken since getting here. He was surprised that there were so many secrets in this world, and he had found many living here. He looked down at the fur on the ground and stopped. It formed the letter A with a dot after it. He reached with his bare foot and smoothed the letter out. He wouldn't think of her, not now.

Genasyce felt at home on this part of Earth, it was much like Ghiaccio just without the massive creatures trying to kill you, he moved through the constant snow before finding the winding entrance into some sort of cave "Found you..." he muttered behind the shadows of his helmet. Walking into the tunnel he remenisced on how in Ignis they had found someone who could open a portal to Earth for them.
Wandering deeper into the cave enterance the temperature increased slightly, Roxa had said he'd make himself at home somewhere secluded and alone, continuing into the mouth of the cave. It was not long before he was at least a mile under the ice and the temperature had increased greatly, stepping into a large opening he was suddenly hit by a wave of heat as he entered what appeared to be a hidden hot-spring and stubbing out some dust with his foot was Van, the reason he was here.
Gensayce approached him with his Spear held behind his back to prove he was not a threat "Van?" Gensayce said as he took another step forward "My name is Gensayce Zidjiai, Roxa sent me over with an offer"

Van whirled around, and without thinking shot at Gensayce. In seconds, he had the kid on the ground and the spear in his other hand. It was just instincts he had learned over the years, and Van didn't like being sneaked up on. Then the logical part of his brain clicked on. "You," he whispered, "you were at the tower." He then remembered what he had said. "Rox... Roxa? I've caught up with time, haven't I?" Van stood and helped Gensayce up. "Sorry," he apologized, giving back his spear, "I don't like surprises. What brings you to Earth?"

"You do" Gensayce replied clearly unphazed by the sudden attack, he had guessed it would happen "He is gathering everyone he can to join him, a coalition for anyone who is not interested in fighting with the Heroes or Sumata" He stretched his neck before continuing "We will simply protect the people of Allorum from any threats, I would like you to return with me, I am heading to Ignis with my friend Riliath where we plan to take down his corrupt father at his estate"

"I... What has become of Kain and the other Saints?" Van looked down at his native american clothes. "Besides, if I went back with you, I would need to collect my effects."

Gensayce was unsure on how to answer "Alot of them died in the battle at the tower..." Gensayce said lightly "I believe those who fell where Bartholomew, Grey, Kain and then Sonorc passed away afterwards" He felt saddened for Van, no doubt the news would hit them hard "But this is why Roxa wants to bring you back to the Kishin, so that things can be like the Saints before you were all sealed away"

"... Old man." Van moved his normal-looking hand to something around his neck. It appeared to be a shriveled and old tea bag. "What of... never mind." He couldn't say her name. He walked over to the only thing he lugged around. He opened it up and saw the vest. All of the rips in it from just after leaving the Saints. "Stay here tonight if you like, I need to think."

Gensayce bowed slightly "I will stay the night but I must press that we have to leave in the morning, Roxa and Riliath will not wait long for us before striking against the estate" He took off his helmet before searching around for somewhere to bunk down and sleep for the night.

Van didn't sleep, he usually never did anymore. Ever since he had found out that he had the curse of life, he had never had a good rest. He had taken out his vest, and was sitting next to the entrance. Since coming here, he had let the animal side take over. Could he trust himself to go back to civilized? Four hours before the sun would rise here, Van reached inside his vest and pulled out a needle and thread. He went to work, patching up the tears in the cloth.
One hour before the sun would rise, he shrugged the vest on. Being inside the vest once again brought memories up to the surface. The indian princesses face appeared before him. "My love, what must I do?" His wife smiled. "You should go back to your world and help the innocent." Van reached inside the bag that was carrying the vest and pulled out a single feather. He tied it to his hair and stood over a puddle of water. He looked like the warrior he had once been. Van stood beside Gemsayce and cleared his throat. "I am ready."

Gensayce nodded, holding his helm under his arm and his spear in the other he looked around at the underground paradise before again looking across to Van. "Know that what you do is for the innocent, you have become nought but a myth here Van, a story, the Pale Demon, back on Allorum you will become a hero, a champion of the people" He moved towards the entrance to the cave, a large red circle opened up before them "Let us go" he said.
*Continued in the 'beginning and the end'*
