Yeah, I know I should be updating my other stories instead of starting a new one, but I've had this on paper for a while and just found it last night and couldn't help but post it. Oh yeah, and for those of you who read Dragon of Dreams stories, she will post the next chapter of Tale of the Moon Goddess as soon as she gets the heart to type it again. She's typed it up three times and her computers deleted it each time.

I do not own Dragon Knights. If I did it would be a very creepy series indeed.

All right, this story is going to be rated R for slavery, and then the loads of torture and mentions of rape in latter chapter. Also there will be m/m relationships. So, if any of this is going to disturbed you then don't read and then waste by time by flaming me because you have been warned.

Summary: The Dragons have been defeated and enslaved by Nadil. The Demon Lord takes Rune as his personal slave, ripping Rath and Rune apart. Without the elf Rath begins to fall apart. Now Lykouleon and the others have to find out how to kill Nadil and save Rath and Rune, but the one that they're trying to save could be their downfall. Rath/Rune/Nadil

Prolog

Lykouleon sighed sadly as he sat down on the cot that had been provided for him. It was crammed close to Tetheus and Kai-Stern's cots as well, seeing as they had to do the same work as him. Ruwalk and Alfeegi's cots were far away from theirs but at least the two were together. Both of them were forced to work in the gardens. Rath and Thatz were forced to work in the stables. The darnas had been killed and eaten by the demons at their victory feast over the Dragons. Now they were forced to take care of the demon horses. Surprisingly, Rath hadn't killed any of them yet. As for Rune…

Lykouleon sighed as he thought of the elf. Nadil had taken the Water Knight as his personal slave. Lykouleon sighed when he remembered just how Nadil had gotten him to surrender and the fear in Rune's wyes when he found out that he was to become Nadil's new pet.

Flashback

Nadil stood in front of Lykouleon, looking down on the Dragon Lord from his position on one of the many staircases in the Dragon Castle. "Give it up Lykouleon," he sneered, a cruel smile on his face. "You've lost. The Dragon Tribe's time on earth is over."

"If I'm going to die then I can at least take you with me," Lykouleon growled, glaring at the demon.

Nadil just smirked. "Really Lykouleon, I thought you were smarter than that. I give you a chance to live as my slave or die as a fool and you choose to die."

"Death would be better than becoming your slave."

"But do you want to be the reason one of your precious Knights are killed?"

"What do you mean?" Lykouleon growled, unconsciously lowering his sword.

Nadil snapped his fingers and Shydeman and Fedelta dragged Rune forward. Nadil smirked as he grabbed the elf's chin. "Do you really want to be the reason I kill him?"

Lykouleon knew that he couldn't let Rune get killed. He would never forgive himself for the rest of his life, which would be very short if Rath got a hold of him. The Fire Knight would not let any harm come to the elf. Lykouleon let the sword fall from his hands and lowered his eyes. "Let him go Nadil," Lykouleon whispered, his voice forced. "You've won."

Nadil's smirk grew, but Rune's eyes widened with shock. "No! Lord Lykouleon please, you have to kill him! It doesn't matter if he kills me or not, you have to save everyone!" Rune yelled struggling against Shydeman and Fedelta.

"Shut up!" Nadil hissed as he slapped Rune across the face. The two generals had loosened their grips on the elf so that when Nadil slapped him the elf fell down the steps, close to Nadil's feet.

"RUNE!" Rath ran up behind Lykouleon and stared in horror at his lover, fearing that Nadil had killed him. The elf slowly turned his head to the side so he could see Rath, but before he could move, Nadil had grabbed him again. "Get your hands off of him," Rath growled.

"Sorry, but you have no say in this. You Dragon Lord just surrendered to me." Nadil smirked when he saw the shocked look on Rath's face and Rune look away, not able to look at his love or his lord. It was then that the other Dragon Knight and the Dragon Officers joined them, apparently having heard Nadil's last statement.

"Yes, in order to save the precious elf, Lykouleon has gone and made you all slaves. So unless you want him killed, you'll do as I say," Nadil said, a mocking tone in his voice as his clawed hand ran over Rune's neck, cutting into the skin just enough to draw blood.

Each Dragon gave up their weapons and glared as Nadil's demons slipped bracelets with the demon seal on it on their wrist so that they couldn't use their powers. The demons also took any gold or jewels on their armor or that they had been wearing. (Such as earrings and Lykouleon's wedding ring.)

When the demons tried to take a ring that Rath had around his neck, the Knight began to struggle to get it back. Seeing that it was of importance to Rath the demons gave it to Nadil. As Nadil studied the ring another smirk grew on his face. Tightening his grip on Rune he showed the ring to the elf. "Do you know what this is, little one?"

Rune's eyes widened and he was unable to answer. He stared at Rath with wide eyes before tears began to fill them. "It's…" Rune started but couldn't finish.

"Go on," Nadil growled sinking his claws into Rune's side making the elf whimper in pain.

"It's an engagement ring," Rune said quickly, his eyes locking with Rath's for support.

Rath glared while the other Dragons looked between him and Rune in shock. They had known the two were a couple but they didn't know that they had been that serious. And if Rath was carrying around the ring, it only meant that he planned on asking Rune soon.

"You've got us to surrender Nadil, there's no longer a need to hold Rune hostage. Let him go," Rath growled, wanting the elf back in his arms. "We're no longer a threat to you."

"Yes, but you are slaves. As for Rune, well, to put it simply, he's going to be my personal slave.

"NO!" Rath yelled and tried to run forward only to be held back by demon soldiers.

Rune struggled in Nadil's arms, but nothing seemed to affect the Demon Lord. "Shydeman, I trust you can give them all jobs that they'll be able to handle." Shydeman smirked and nodded as Rune yelled out of Rath in fear. The Fire Knight's struggles continued as he tried to reach his love, but the only thing that happened was more demon soldiers tackling him. Tears spilled from his eyes as Rune continued to cry out for him, his screams slowly fading as Nadil dragged him down the halls of the Dragon Castle that would be turned into the new Demon Castle.

End flashback

Lykouleon sighed again. That had been the last time anyone had seen Rune since Nadil had taken control a week ago, thought it seemed like a year. 'Please Rune,' the former Dragon Lord silently prayed, 'be safe. For your own sake and Rath's, please be safe.'
