Farids POV
It was a hot night, and Farid and Dustfinger had been waiting silently for the right time to save Meggie and Dauris from the Castle of night. Dustfinger had told Farid that he'd be leaving. Alone. But Farid had something else in mind.
'I can't just leave her there,' he thought, 'I need to save her. I wonder how alone she is. She has the old man,
but could she be thinking of me, as I am her?' He blushed at his thoughts, and lit a match. She had been wandering into his thoughts a lot lately. It was almost as if she was the very magic that brought him here. He could remember the day that he was brought to this world clearly. She was his star, the light that blinded his mind - and heart, with love.
"As I said before, Farid. I'm going alone. If the soldiers see us.. Well, Lets just say I'm not as welcomed here as I used to be at Capricorns. I'll get the girl and the man, get out, then we'll see eachother here again. If I'm not Here by .. daybreak, then go back to the village of Ombra and get Fenogilo. He'll read you back where you came from. Tell him I'm not going to be back... Not in this world or any other." Dustfinger started placing everything into his now very worn out backpack. Farid looked at the ground. "Please, Dustfinger. You don't understand-" Farid was cut off.
"No, Farid. I do understand. Me and Resa," he caught himself before he said anymore. "I'm leaving. Stay put. Gwins around here somewhere. Stay put." he said again as he turned around , and started to walk away.
"Hmm, You and Resa? Then you would understand. I-I love Meggie. I'm going to do everything I can to protect her"
Farid stood up and brushed the soot from the match off of his pants.
"Only Child love." Dustfinger stopped walking, but didnt look back at Farid.
Farid licked his lips. What he was about to do could ruin everything, or save Meggies life. He picked up the chunky piece of wood he had been sitting on silently. "I'm Sorry" Was the last thing he said before he hit Dustfinger in the head with the piece of wood. Hard enough to make him pass out, but not hard enough to break the skin.
Farids face was hot as he neared the Silver castle. What he did stuck into his mind like a sharp bullet into his heart.
Dustfinger was ... Almost his father. He loved Dustfinger too, but... How was he suppost to let him save Meggie? His Insides lurched as he got closer to the Castle. How would he get in? He didnt even know where in the castle she was. He shook his head to rid his mind of these thoughts. With the darkness as his sheild, and the fire his friend, he would save Meggie, his one, true, love.
----
As he analized the Gates, he realised only one man was on duty. 'I could easily take him out...take his armor...and hope no one notices?' Farid sighed silently. Something told him to do it. Something in him also told him that he was crazy. 'Lets do it.'
He took down the Soldier easily, and he wasnt much bigger than Farid himself. He pulled the armor off him, and put everything on over his clothes, making sure that no one could see his tanned face. He pulled the unconcious soldier behind a bush and walked back over to the ex-soldiers post. Just then, three very large men walked out, wearing the same armor as him. They walked over to him, and his heart was beating in his throat. "You better have not told anyone we left," The Shortest of the men said. The other mens faces had smiles on them. They'd taken off their helmets. The faces they wore reminded Farid of his cruel home back in the land of books.
"I need to go inside," Farid said hopefully. 'Please work,' he thought. 'I need to save Meggie'
The men smiled eerily. "What for?" It seemed as if the shortest one was the leader of the group, even he was the smallest.
Farid Licked his lips under his helmet. Something in his head was screaming 'Fire.' Dustfinger had shown him how to make a flaming flower without calling aloud for it, he'd have to try something. Maybe these goons were stupid enough to fall for the trap?
Farid called for it in his head. How he loved the firewords, he could feel them on his tongue and he could hear the small popping noise from the fire behind him. "I think I found something," he said to the men. He moved out of the way so they could see the flower. It danced for them, playing a spell on anyone that sees.
"Gavin, look at that!" the bulkiest man said. He really was as stupid as he looked. Farid guessed he was talking to the leader.
"The Adder won't be happy about this. I'm not telling him, he'd kill me," the short man looked at the flower with a look of disgusted astonishment. "You go Sam. You're the youngest of all the guards. Maybe he'll go easy on you"
When nobody else said anything Farid nodded. "Okay, I'll go." As he turned for the door he heard the last of the goons laugh and say "the adder will have his head!" and the great stone door slammed behind him.
--------
The castle of night really was magnificent in a midevil kind of way. Its halls and floors were made of silver, and giant stone snakes loomed over anything below. He wispered some words of fire to find his way, the words rolled off his toungue as if speaking to a lover. A spark jumped and sped down the hall. Farid had to walk fast to keep up, but he guessed that it made him look like he was doing something important, and that he knew where to go, even though he didn't.
The Fire reached a long spiral staircase. It bounced up, stair by stair. Farid didn't let it out of his sight, as it quickly made its way up the long flight.
His sparks almost reached the top when they dropped into soot in a nanosecond. Farid looked up quickly.
Through the bars of his helmet he saw Dustfingers worst enemy. Basta.
"What are you doing here. The Adder said no one is aloud here unless it's time for guard change," Farid could smell that annoying peppermint from his breath. He wanted to strangle his beefy neck, and cover his face untill his cold heart stopped.
"Something happened outside, so I told the Adderhead and he told me to protect the witch and the old man," He made his voice higher, so that Basta couldn't notice it. ( A/N Basta would soo be able to tell, I love him, ahaha )
Basta stared at him for quite a while. "Get along then," he said quietly as he moved out of the way and unlocked the door.
'Finally,' Farid thought, 'I found her.'
