"Run Gabriel, hurry before it's too late!" Alexander St. Knight begged
his all too heroic son.
"I won't leave you father." the young warrior replied sternly. With
sword in hand, he would defend his father... or die trying.
"It's already too late to save me..." Alexander whispered stepping back
away from his son. "It's much too late..."
As the old man stepped further from the light, he began to fade away to
nothingness.
"Father wait!" Gabriel cried, stretching his hand in vain to reach out
for him.
All of a sudden the figure of Alexander St. Knight stopped where he was.
Gabriel thought perhaps his father was coming back to him. A faint smile
of hope crossed his face.
His father howver looked at him in utmost pain and terror, then as blood
spurt forth from his mouth, he cried a horrible sound. The sound of
death. Gabriel heard his own voice scream as he saw a bloodstained sword
emerge from the front of the older St. Knight's chest.
"Noooo!!! Father!!!" Gabriel cried in anguish.
Behind his father... a dark figure laughed.
"You bastard!!!" With tears in his eye's Gabriel lunged forth to meet
his father's killer.
The dark figure threw the corpse of his father down revealing his entire
self.
Gabriel stopped dead in his tracks... and gazed upon the cruel and
sinister eyes of himself.
The "Dark" Gabriel laughed hideously. He was dressed in the exact same
riding cloak and garment as Gabriel was. But whereas the "real" St.
Knight wore white the color of his purity, this dark version wore the
blackest of black, the color of nothing but death.
"Pathetic..." The evil warrior spoke, his green eyes chilled Gabriel's
soul to it's very core.
"You are not worthy of being a warrior..." it continued, "for you...
there can only be death!"
Darkness enveloped the evil Gabriel like a fog, as the unatural shadows
completly covered him he began to laugh.
Within the veil of shadows Gabriel could see wings jetting out from the
dark warrior's body. The body itself grew to enourmous size, and the
head... except for the cold burning eyes which continued to stare at
him, the demon's head sprouted fangs and horns.
No... not a demon... a dragon.
The black dragon spoke:
"Foooor youuuuu... there isssss only death."
It then began to laugh aloud.

Gabriel St. Knight awoke with a start... again. The third nightmare in
that many days. Sweat ran all over his body.
