Then he heard that Ami introduced herself. He placed the Peacemaker in a sheath inside the coat. "Gabriel Rayne of the Vatican. Trained in the arts of dragoons, arias and knights." He then pointed over to Edwar. " And this is Edwar Rochefort. He is a knight aswell. Oh and for god knows why his last name is also the name of a cheese, but I think he doesn't like to be reminded about that." He said while laughing a bit. "A true pleasure to meet you Ami. I see you are a quite skilled medic based on how you took care of those wounds. However I am a bit curious...What is your companion ?" he said hinting at Neko.
He then accepted the key from Rin. "I like your attitude kid. We need to give those bastards what they deserve, but first....We need to regroup and get those who can't fight to safety." he said while walking back to his seat.
"A dream...really..." Edwar thought, since his limbs were immobilized: all he could do was wait...nothing more, nothing less.
When did he fall asleep? Oh, he couldn't tell. The pack of hounds were getting closer, and closer: their running was boisterous, every single step could be heard. Or, was it his own imagination?
Few moments later, they arrived next to the window: strangely enough, the glass remained solid and didn't become part of the general chaos.
A wolf stood up, and peered inside the room: his pawns were against the windowsill and its eyes were glowing a feint, sickening yellow light. The beast tilted his head, and the ghostly black fur seemed more..."real".
Edwar looked at the wolf, surprised: as soon as the human exchanged the glare, the wolf jumped off, and joined back the black tide of wolves.
Atleast one minute passed, and the trampling did not stop. Edwar looked outside, as the thundering stampede continued...it didn't seem it was going to end soon.
Another minute passed: the perpetual stepping was soothing, as if a lullaby. The concept of time was slowly leaving Edwar, if it wasn't for something that broke the rhytm: suddenly, the horde seemed to disappear, as a single, small bird entered the room.
It passed through the glass as if it wasn't there, and was before Edwar's eyes: surprisingly, it spoke with a rather deep tone
"Alas, we meet once more" The crow said, while Edwar remained silent
"And finally, I believe I can exact my tribute..." The crow flew closer...but, something was terribly wrong: its size was atleast two times Edwar's.
The young man widened his eyes, and tried to free himself from the goo, that impeded him to move.
The crow rised his talon, and closened its distance from Edwar's head.
Then, an unexpected turn of event caused the crow to stop: a loud and bright burst erupted somewhere, and collapsed everything.
Everything.

Edwar suddenly opened his eyes, the very moment Ami poured the alcohol in the wounds, to avoid possible infections.
Edwar's reaction was nearly instinctive: he stood up istantly and rised his arms, or atleast tried to.
A strange spark was in his eyes. He seemed to completely forget that he was wounded, or even where he was.
His breathing was irregular, and it could be said that he was shivering a little: he looked around, for any friendly face.
Then, his crippled arm suddenly fell, dripping alcohol: it was burning, a necessary pain.
Edwar took a deep breath, recognizing and remembering that it was only a dream, and fell down to sitting on the helicopter's floor, without a word: all happened in a quick sequence, enough to confuse the rest of the Company.
"Well...I am Edwar Rochefort. Mind you, Et-war and not Edward. My surname is close to French's...Oh, and to avoid miscomprehensions" Edwar then glanced Gabriel, and felt like adding, shrugging lightly "And for shouting out loud, I am not a cheese, that is Roquefort"
