Aurian did not have the time to put on a good fire. She didn't know what to do next and decided to make a telepathic link between her and her husband Anvar. It wasn't that hard. After all her husband was not far from her. If everything was going as planned then he would be in Silverymoon waiting for Isabelle and Illius.
Aurian closed her eyes and whispered her husbands' name.
" Aurian?" A voice in her head asked.
" Yes, Anvar, It's me. Is everything alright?"
" Well, we have a little problem. Gorath, Isabelle's husband, is here too. Not in SIlverymoon, but well, he's on the planet."
" What?! That's not at all good. She still has feelings for him. It is crucial he doesn't find her or everything could be ruined."
" I know, sweetheart, but there's nothing I can do. I just hope Illius and Isabelle fall in love fast."
" Don't count on that. She hates his guts."
" Why?" " Because he didn't like her, he saw she was a dark elf and acted like a typical human."
" That's not good. Do you think you can help them?"
" It's not my job, and by the way, I can't do a thing."
" Why not?"
" You can't force love. And I don't.... I feel awful doing this, it's like.... I don't know....She trusts me and now I'm destroying the faith she has in me, the trust she has in me."
" She'll understand. But I have to go now."
" Okay, bye Anvar, I love you."
" Love you too."
The link was broken and Aurian stared at the fire. It seemed so easy, but when she thought about it, she knew that the queen of the elfs was very smart and had tricked her.

" My dear Aurian, this mission is crucial for us all. But especially for Isabelle. She needs to find the man who will make her life complete."
" I thought that was Gorath?"
" She loves him, that is true, but that doesn't mean he make her life complete."
" I think you're mistaken. Love is necessary."
" Of course!"
The queen smiled softly.
" Love is important and she will find love. But to find it, she has to find that king and you must make sure he does. And you husband Anvar will be with you. He has already agreed to help us."
Aurian sighed. Her long red hair covered her face partially, and the queen could not see good what she was thinking.
Aurian, Isabelle's only best friend, thought about what the queen has said.
It could help Isabelle, but that was not sure. Sure, the world would be safe, but was that king truly the man she would love the most?? Aurian knew her friend loved her husband Gorath still and she would not easily give him up. Gorath was everything Isabelle wanted a man to be.
" Why are you doubting, Aurian? We've got no time for doubts!!! The enemy is coming. Every day he comes closer and closer. Do you want the child within you to live in a beautiful world or in no world at all?"
Aurian, stunned, stared at the woman in front of her.
" How... how...??"
" I'm a sorceress as well, Aurian. I can feel what happens around me."
" Do not tell Anvar, he will not let me go."
" So you're going?"
Aurian looked at the beautiful woman in front of her, who was more evil then anyone would think. She nodded softly.
" Good, good, now go to Isabelle, ly why you're going with her, tell her that she needs to come here and prepare."
" Yes, my queen."
Aurian bowed, angry and frustrated, but knowing she could not change it.
Aurian shook her head and looked at the trees in front of her. Did she saw something moving?? She blinked a few times and was angry at herself. She shouldn't think about the past. What was done, could not be undone. And indeed, the faith of the world was important, especially for the child in her. The queen knew her weakness and had used it to get what she wanted.
" Damn it!" she yelled.
A tear fell down from her face. She hated herself. She had to lie to everyone she cared about. But lying to Isabelle would mean putting an end to the trust between them and not trust meant no friendship. And that could mean that Isabelle wouldn't help humans anymore and could end the peace between dark elfs and humans. So the faith of the world was uncertain for both decisions. So had she made the right choice? Did she act for the greater good or only for her own good? And for the good of the child which she carried? She didn't know, she only knew that she didn't have much time. When she would be 6 months far she would loose her magic skills. Then she could not protect herself anymore. And she was already 3 months far…
" You must be Aurian," A voice said.
Quickly she turned around. Behind her stood Gorath, Isabelle's husband.
" Gorath," Aurian said, surprised. " What are you ding here?"
" Saving Isabelle from your tricks!"
" My tricks?"
" Yes, I've been to the queen of the elfs and she told me everything. And also why you're doing it, and that reason…"
" Shut up!" Aurian yelled.
" You shouldn't listen to the queen, she tricks everyone!"
" No, she's a leader, she has to make the right decisions! Isabelle understands her, but what she'll not understand is why her best friend lied to her."
" I did not."
" Yes, you did. You knew who that king was and you brought her to him."
Aurian stared at the dark elf in front of her. How did he know that? Could the queen have told it? That seemed most unlikely. Gorath was a dark elf, he would not be trusted by the queen.
" The queen trusted me with this information, because she know how much I care for Isabelle."
" If you do, then you have to leave. This love, this marriage was destined to be."
Gorath laughed.
" You believe that crap, human? Then you're even more stupid then I thought!"
He stared at her.
" Isabelle is a dark elf, he is human."
" And she is also a dragon which makes her a dragonlady. He is also an airwizard, which makes him a human-airwizard. There both the last of their kind."
" So?"
Aurian shook her head.
" You're too late, Gorath. They're travelling together and will get to know each other." " And fall in love?"
" Yes, exactly."
" I don't believe you, Isabelle…"
" Doesn't fall easily, I know. But be sure, she will fall. I already saw it in her eyes. He's just like her. Both something from birth and something they were born to be."
" Explain yourself."
" Isabelle is princess of Alasteriel," Gorath moved, but didn't say a thing. " And he's knight of Silverymoon. But Isabelle is also a witch and he's also a sorcerer. Knight and princess, witch and sorcerer. All will become one."
" Not if I can help it."
He turned around and started running.
" Your heart will not save the two of you, Gorath!"
He stopped.
" No, be hers will." And he ran away.
" Damn it!! This is not good!!"
The journey to Silverymoon would take a couple of months, but then she would not be able to do anything. It was up to Isabelle and Illius and that mystery force that brought them together.
