AN/ YAY! I've had this idea running around in my head for sometime now and I'm finally writing it! Anyways I always liked Kaddar & though I LOVE Nummy I always thought Daine and Kaddar would be cute with each other. Anyways it starts part way through Emperor Mage when Daine and Kaddar have just gotten back from Menagerie and found the Banjiku worshipping the Immortals... So on with the show!

They fell silent, enjoying the cool evening. Kaddar moved first, stretching his arms. "We're in trouble, Daine. All Carthak is. See this?" he pointed at the sky.
Daine looked up. Starts spilled everywhere overhead. The moon was silver; another night, or two, and it would be full dark. The dark moon, for the working of dark magics, she thought, and shivered. "See what? Stars?"
"You shouldn't see them. This time of year, the skies should be thick cloud. Maybe an opening or two, but not clear skies, night after night. We've had very little rain. In the south. people starve while my uncle readies for another war, so he can waste taxes, food, slaves, men..." He looked at her and smiled bitterly. "You are too gods-blest easy to talk to, Verildaine. You watch me with those big eyes, just listening, and the words just drop off my wagging tongue." He shook his head and offered an arm. "I'd better escort you to your room. It's getting late." (AN/ this is when I stop quoting the fabulous Mrs. Pierce and go off to my own stuff)
Daine didn't know what to say. She watched as her friend stared up at the heavens. She knew that Kaddar didn't want a war. He didn't even really want to rule. He wanted to study, to learn all he could.
" Kaddar..." Daine started hesitantly, " I don't know what to say. I wish only that I could help you in some way." Kaddar looked back at her. His dark eyes unreadable. He reached over to her and touched her cheek. Then quickly took it away. Daine shivered. When he had touched her she had felt something. Like a shiver of fire running through her body.
" Daine I- I am sorry. For everything. Meeting you was... One of the best days of my life. You have opened my eyes and changed the way I look at everything. I want to thank you for that." Then he put a hand gently on her arm. Daine looked up into his eyes and leaned forward, closing her eyes. Kaddar's lips brushed hers. Daine gasped as fire raced through her. She leaned forward into the kiss.
