I woke up in a small crampy place. I knew I was trapped and probably not going to get out. I growled "Where am I?"

　　My dark black eyes slowly peeled open, nothing but a small dark room all around, a light flickered through a small hole. The wind seeped into the cave. Rock walls surround me, I felt something wet on my bone talons, I looked down, startled. "Oh," I said, "water"

　　I turned my head to a light in a corner, a torch flickered next to something on the ledge. I grunted and struggled to move over their.

　　"Ghostskull?"

　　I stopped, dead in my talon steps. It was Diamond. My heart lurched. I yelped, "Diamond!" My voice was shaking, "Save me, free me!"

　　"I cant hear you" Her voice was shaking as well, it sounded like she was crying.

　　"What-" I started.

　　"My love- I put you down there, My dear, please I'm sorry"

　　Hope started to wash out of me, my love, my thoughts just went right out of my head. My wings dropped to my side. I drew my lips back into a outraged snarl. "But I can see you." Her voice said from the hole.

　　I could not see her, It was quite dark, but I had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to see her, ever agian. A small wave washed over my talons. I felt a tear fall down my face. It felt like the walls were eating at my sides and tail. Nothing moved or talked for a unsettling moment. "I know, your mind is spinning, How did she do this? Ghostskull, I'm...I was hiding something from you, im an animus...like that Nightwing, Darkstalker, And that Seawing, Albatross" Her vocie added a cheerful hint, then it was gone, "Just like you." She added.

　　My heart ached, what was next? Her saying something like, this is the last time we will ever talk?

　　"Brother."

　　My ear stood up and I turned to see a blurry outline of Horror and Gore. "No." I snarled, Grabbing my head and closing my eyes, "Your dead, I killed you"

　　"We are here, in Star Tribe now" Horrors vocie said and his outline shone brightly.

　　"Thanks to you." Gore grumbled.

　　The torch went out, crying I said, "Why am I here?"

　　A pause. "Oh brother, Its your fault, your spark, you and your poor poor murder spark" Horror sighed, his outline was fading, "Goodbye my brother."

　　And with a flick of Horrors brightly outlined tail he was gone. Only Gore and I stood in the small cave. I was to sad to snarl, snap or roar, instead I said, "Is Diamond still here?"

　　"No, but Snowflower and Oreo are." Gore answered.

　　I turned to the tiny hole and looked through it. A crab the size of the top of my claw hauled into the cave, sending splashes of water and sand into my face. I snorted. "Hello, Ghostskull." Said a mocking vocie from outside.

　　I still couldn't see, but I knew that was Oreo. I felt a stab of embarrassment as I remembered They could see me. "We have come to say goodbye, and something terrible happened just now." Snowflower hissed sadly.

　　My heart missed a beat. What could of happened? "No, tell him a diffrent time!" Oreo snapped to Snowflower.

　　"There is no different time!" Snowflower snarled, "Ghostskull, Crystal is far far away. Unfortunately I could never heal her wing, and she is now in Star Tribe."

　　It felt like millions of knifes were stabbed into my heart, all on fire. "No." I wheezed.

　　It was silent for I whole hour. No voices talked. Everything was still. The light from the hole faded. It slowly got dark outside. I looked around. The water felt cold. It was the only drink I had. Then I felt a stab of hunger. "Food, what will I eat?" I whispered outloud.

　　A crackle broke the silence. A dim light broke the darkness. The torch was lit agian. I sighed. Another light lit over near a corner that I haven't gone in. It was on the stone wall. Moonlight got covered up by clouds, crickets chirped, owls hooted. I narrowed my eyes, and took a huge step toward the second torch. I thought my talons fell through the ground, but it turned out to be sinking into sand. I smiled. Slowly the sand got warmer as the fire heated up. I lied down on the warm sand, and everything, Being here, Diamond, Crystal, My brothers, my friends, they all slipped away as I slept.
