Kaschei notices that the angel is still hanging around.
"Oh, I forgot about you."
He adjusts his long black cape.
"If you serve me, I will pay you well. But money is a triffle. I offer something greater..power. I intend to bring Louhi back to this world. You will share in the power of the goddess."
Kaschei walks over to his spell book.
"I am a harsh person to work for. Just ask Jareth. Will you serve me blindly, even if it leads to your own demise? I expect no less."

"Do as you want. If you work for me, it will benefit you. If you leave, I won't miss you. I could care less either way. I don't negotiate working conditions. You either tolerate them or you don't."
Kaschei picks up book off of his nightstand.
"This book is bound with elf skin. Find me an elf. I am writing another spell book and need its skin. That is your mission."

Kaschei is ecstatic. He has found excelent help lately. This was always such a struggle for him.
He could not be happier. Or could be...but not until the goddess returns.
Even Kuro will be no match for her, he imagines.

I return to him throwing the best elf I could find. It was a horrorable but swift death with not to many cuts. So it could have the best skin.
I have bought you your elf.... does this please you.

"It does. You do good work. You are quick and efficient. I like that."
I turn away.
"I am going to bed. It is late. You can stay here in the Minsitry if you like. You can share quarters with Jareth.
Tell me what she says about me. If she is truly loyal or if she hates me secretly."

"Fine. Go wherever. I will call for you when I need you."
Kaschei waits for the angel to leave, then blows out the candles on his reading table.

Moira and Akira are back. I am on the couch feeding the baby.
"I don't know where Kakashi is. I wish he'd come back. We need to name the baby."

[shadow=red,left,300]Deeper and deeper I travel into the forest. I forget Hope and the others. I am on the trail of a demon. I sense its nearness. I walk onward. This one is not Kuro, but may know where he is.

Genovia will be glad to learn that at last she has been given a mission. I, on the other hand, am not glad. Obliterating an entire city? Such destruction is pointless. I can't do that anymore. Genovia is right....I have become too soft.....
+++++++
I knock on her door. There is no answer so I knock again. I figure that she must be asleep. I hate to wake her, but the mission is urgent. I gently open the door.
"I don't want to wake you but I have a mission for y...."
+++++++++++++
She is indeed asleep, but hardly alone. She naked and wrapped in the arms of Calithin. Calithin.... I quiickly look to the floor. My heart becomes a sinking rock. My throat becomes dry. I feel suffocated.
"Excuse me...."
She opens her dark, exotic eyes to me.
+++++++
I want to tell her that I am sorry about Chihira. That I loved her. I trained her, took her to the symphony, I endured her temper, and weathered her cruelty. I quelled her violence. I want her to tell me what she sees in him... that she could not see in me. If not to salvage any hope of being with her, to at least use as future reference.
Instead I keep these silent agonies to myself. I remain calm and speak to her in an even tone.
+++++++
"Kaschei has issued you a mission. You will leave to Kindosovah at once, where, upon orders from the Ministry, you will destroy the rebel village."
++++++
I glance at her briefly and leave. From the corner of my eye I swear that I see the angel smirk at me. Yes, I did see it. Yes... go ahead and smirk. Smile at the weak and pittiful dark elf that you have so completely defeated, Calithin.
+++++++++
I say a prayer as I leave for Lucern. Normally, I do not pray. I hate the gods. I do not believe in them. But from what I gather, my people worhsip Keitoleinen. I lift my head toward the sky.
"Father, why have I been made to suffer? I do not think I can endure this life. I am so utterly alone. Please...if you exist...and if you can hear me....help me...I need you."
I feel foolish for doing this. As if some god could care less about my life. They might be up there getting a good laugh.
"Hey, look at Kith. What else can we do to make his life miserable? I don't know..it can't get worse. I know, lets send another woman into his life so he can fall in love with her, then watch as she rejects him for someone else. Lets even have him see them naked together. Won't that be a laugh! The look on his face will be priceless."
++++++++++++++++++++++
I look out the window and sigh as the plane takes off for Switzwerland.

I roll my eyes at Bassarov. The man is so completely absurd sometimes. "No..I think Communists can eat red meat."

The wait for morning is a slow torture. I have suffered night, and prepare for the day. I gather my luggage and check out. My appointment is not until hours later, but I am eager to be done with this.
I walk down the street in brisk detatchment from my life. Today I am going to murder my child. I have some doubts. But I don't have a choice. I am not a mother. I am not allowed a normal human existance.
In my life, a person must keep up appearances. They must tell lies and play pretend for the masses. They must smile and wave, give speeches and unite the party. They can not have the moral failings of a normal human.
I see a large poster of myself in Red Square. I have to be the face that the masses rally behind.
I can not...
...claim ownership of my life.
