Eldaire rested quietly in the forest. Birds, wolves, and bears alike gathered around him, protecting him and tending to him. Suddenly, Eldaire began to stir. He was not awakening, he was dreaming...

Eldaire stood alone in a vast white terrain. He couldn't tell where the sky ended and the ground began. Off in one direction, he saw Matt.

"Eldaire. The time has come. Whether you're ready or not, this angel must be passed on. Eldaire, remember what you fight for. You're not just fighting for yourself, you're fighting for the human race and all the good it's capable of. You're fighting for love. You're fighting for friendship. You're fighting for all that is good. Now Eldaire, awaken!"

The image of Matt suddenly exploded into a million white particles. They began to drift towards Eldaire, slowly at first, but soon they were rocketing towards him. As they met him, he felt a strange tingling all over. Then, his mind was filled with the mind of the angel that was entering him. He gained the knowledge of millenia of training. But more importantly, he gained all of the passion of the angel. Visions began to shoot through his mind. He saw God in all his glory, instructing him in the art of combat. He saw war and bloodshed. Countless lives being lost. Then, he saw Serendice. They were together in a beautiful garden.

"We'll always be together, right?" Serendice whispered gently into his ear. "Always," was the response. They shared a long passionate kiss. The next thing he saw was Serendice in her terrible demon form. He heard a voice in his head. "Take care of her Eldaire." It was Matt. "Take care of Serendice."

He saw the image of Ligot, the body that had just died, training. It was training, just as Eldaire had been doing, to become the next protector of the humans.

He then saw Korittou fighting boldly to protect his lands. His demon nature did not seem to compel him to evil. He merely wanted to ensure peace in his domain. "Teach him."

He saw Kuaiji and Arc, weapons drawn prepared for battle. "Guide these warriors away from darkness. Protect them and protect those they fight."

He saw Szanod punishing foes and rejoicing in their pain. "Protect your friends from people like this. Save them from harm. Now Eldaire, you've slept long enough! AWAKEN!"

Eldaire awoke, screaming in righteous fury, instantly on his feet. He fell to his knees and tears streamed down his face. The power of the angel was a terrible burden to bear. As he knelt down, he brought his head to the ground. Tears formed a puddle in the dirt beneath him. He felt a terrible pain in his back, and two beautiful white wings exploded from his shoulder blades. Then, he stood. He was no longer so overcome with emotion. He felt peace. He walked calmly to a nearby pond and saw his reflection.

"Who is this? Is this me? I remember who I was, but that's not who I am any more. I see. Now I am Matt, the defender of the light!"

"Wow, I wasn't sure if this body was ready, but my power seems to be even greater in it. My power's twice what it was in that kid's body."

He exploded in a brilliant white aura, twice as powerful as Matt's before him. He knew Ligot, the body Matt had just used, was smiling from on high. He then shot off back towards the battle, leaving a huge crater where he once stood.

When he returned to the battle, he saw only ice. He flew above the spot where Korittou stood.

"Korittou! What have you done? Where is Serendice? Where are the others?"
