Disclaimer~ I don't own Dragon Knights. This is why I must revert to fanfiction to get my ideas across.
Me~ I am back with a better Dragon Knights fic!
Rune~ Do we dare ask what this one is about?
Rath~ I want to know.
Thatz~ Am I going to play a bigger part?
Me~ Stop asking questions all at once!
Kharl~ Will I even have a part in this fic?
Me~ Ok Rune and Rath you two will like this. I it is really nothing but you two getting married.
Rune+Rath~ ^_^
Me~ Thatz you will play a bigger part.
Thatz~ Yes I get to show off my superior gambling skills!
Me~ Actually no you don't.
Thatz~ Damn you.
Me~ And how could I leave out the second hottest demon of the manga!
Kharl~ I'm in second.
Me~ Sorry but Rath is hotter then you. Not to mention he has that helpless thing going on with him.
Kharl~ Note to self seem more helpless.
Me~ Oh yes there is going to be two original characters in this, but they play no major parts. Those two are going to be Kharla, Kharl's wife, and his daughter Liminality. Though I do own those two, they are characters that I use in my Dungeons and Dragons role-playing group.
Kharl~ I'm married!
Me~ Yes and now onto the fic!
Prince to King
Chap 1~ Unusual Changes
"Rath Illuser get your ass down here!" Alfeegi roared pointing a finger at Rath, who was up in a tree.
"Only if I get out of lessons." Rath proposed smiling.
"Can't do that. You need the training before becoming king."
"Then I am not coming down."
"Well Rune is down in the gar-" Rath jumped down from his perch looking frantically for the elf.
"I don't see him Alfeegi. Are you sure that you saw him? Wait!" Rath yelled in realization, he was tricked.
"Rath you need to be looking for a potential bride. The crowning is in three weeks and you need some one by your side.
"Alfeegi began to preach as he dragged Rath back to class.
"I think Rune would make a cute bride." Rath said do innocently.
"That's not what I meant. As king you are going to need to produce an heir. If you married Rune then the line would end again." Alfeegi explained sighing.
"If not having an heir meant having Rune I would take Rune any day." Rath muttered looking down.
"So tried to skip again?" Thatz chirped swatting Rath on the back.
"Please don't encourage him Thatz. He provides enough of that on his own.
"Please save me Thatz! Those classes are so boring and they won't let me kill demons." Rath pleaded hanging onto Thatz's shirt.
"Rath what are you trying to get out of this time?" Rune emerged from a connection path. He was wringing his hair out and the black and white splatter outfit he was wearing clung to his figure.
"I-I-I." Rath stuttered looking at the ground. He was turning the color of his dragon.
"Please convince him to stay in class Rune. There is only three weeks left, and he still hasn't found a bride yet. Please help out here?" Alfeegi begged tears rolling down him face.
"Do you think that you could make Alfeegi's job a bit easier and stay in class?" Rune smiled tilting his head cutely.
"Will do." Rath turned on his heel, giving Rune the saddest face he had ever seen, and walked away. Alfeegi mouthed a thank you and ran up to the prince yokai. Rune tried to chase after them but Thatz held him back.
"You can't go to him yet. Not until we find out how to fix your problem." Thatz whispered brushing Rune's tears away.
"He looked so sad Thatz. I need to go to him."
"Not until we can find a way to get you to produce an heir for him. Please be patient." Thatz stroked Rune's hair until he clamed down.
"Are we any closer to finding that out?"
"Nope. There is no one in this castle that I trust enough. Well besides Kai-Stern and the only person that comes first to mind in this is Kharl." Thatz explained.
"Please lets try Kharl. There may not be as much risk as we think." Rune looked desperate.
"Ooh no. He is the last person that I would go to and I mean last. Even then I am not keen on going to him."
"What's the worst that could happen?"
"He could kill us and then how would you marry Rath?"
"What about the Dragon Lord? I am sure he could help us. Cesia! She may know something." Thatz could see the panic welling up in Rune's eyes.
"The Dragon Lord is open minded but I am not sure if he is that open minded. Not to mention Cesia may be the default bride if Rath doesn't choose in time." Thatz sighed pushing his hair out of his eyes. With the crowning getting closer and closer Rune was going into over time of finding the info that he needed.
"That means its not like she wants to marry him then. So we could ask.
"I think she wants to be his bride and she knows that if he doesn't choose she will be it. Which is why she is so nice to the princess's that come. I have heard her give wrong directions to them when they are wondering around looking for Rath. She is a clever one." Thatz circled Rune into a hug as the young elf cried.
"Is everything against me marrying Rath?" Thatz let Rune cry until scheduled, Rune passed out.
"Better rush you back to the infirmary." Thatz picked up Rune and ran to the medical wing.
"No Rath! If the Hipalfia's want more land you tell them no. They border the Zinfidel's and they are just warming up to us." Alfeegi yelled slamming his fist down on the table.
"If I said yes they would stop pestering us." Rath sighed lounging in his chair.
"Alfeegi this is why we have Kai-Stern. He was made Chief of Foreign Affairs. Never during my rule did I do any of this stuff." The Dragon Lord voiced hoping to save Rath.
"Well he should know the basic knowledge of this. There may be times Kai-Stern is not present and he will have to deal with them." Alfeegi argued.
"Isn't that the reason why we have other ambassadors?" Rath asked looking around.
"They all may be out doing other things or on vacation." Alfeegi growled.
"No wonder why the lord snick out all the time." Ruwalk whispered over to Rath.
"When I become king does that mean no more demon hunting?"
"Afraid so."
"My Lady! Lord Rune has collapsed again." Cernozura puffed as the doors flew open.
"I'll be there in a moment. Lord, gentlemen." Raseleane bowed as she rushed out of the room with Rath at her heels.
"Thatz just brought him in. Says he had another break down." Cernozura informed as they ran down the corridor.
"Cesia isn't anywhere to be found?"
"We went to her first, but he didn't wake up."
"This has happened more then once?" Rath asked from behind them.
"Yes and they have become more and more recent." Cernozura informed.
"Do you know the cause?"
"We've asked many times but he won't tell. Says the stress of work." Raseleane sped into the room and placed her hands above Rune's eyes. There was a faint glow, a spark and then she back away smiling.
"Is he ok? Why didn't he wake up?" Rath blurted out looking from Rune to Raseleane.
"Don't worry he is just sleeping right now. To tired to wake up from what he told me. But I think a kiss might wake him up a bit." She winked ushering everyone out. Rath blushed looking completely confused.
"Why not love?" Rath leaned forward and placed a tender kiss on Rune's soft lips. Nodding in content Rath walked off whistling. Rune's soft eyes fluttered open, smiling as he place his fingertips to his lips.
Me~ So how was the first chap?
Rune~ Great! I got kissed!
Rath~ Sucked. No action.
Kharl~ I got mentioned!
Thatz~ Oh yes that was a much better part then the last fic. I was in there for the same amount of time.
Me~ Well I wasn't asking you guys. I was asking the readers.
All~ People are reading this! :: all run away::
Me~ Opps. ^_^ Well please R&R. Byes for now!
