Chapter 7
And back to a rather frustrated Rythian.
"We had them, we literally had them but you fools had to settle your petty disagreements first and they got away" growled Rythian who was making no attempt to hide his anger.
Teep coward in fear for he had failed Rythian once again by letting his hatred towards the wolf get away with him but Mors did not seam to care about disappointing his master and this angered Rythian even more.
"MORS, you are to blame as well for you retaliated when Teep accidentally hit you and this saved them some time so I will have none of this smugness from you" Rythian growled this instantly took the smirk of Mors' face for he knew when he had pushed something too far and he also knew how Rythian could be when annoyed.
"Teep" sot Rythan " you have one lass to chance to make it up to me but for the time being we need to retire to my palace and construct a plan of attack for Sjin Will be in the end for a while which gives us time to prepare my evil plans, and with that Rythian left to his palace, followed by Teep and Mors.
Back to the End with Deadlox and the Enderdragon.
"Deadlox you are like a son to me and with that I can read you like a book and I know something is troubling you, please tell me what it is" spoke the Enderdragon his voice calme yet his concern for the Enderhybrid was clear.
"I am fine Milord but I am grateful for your concern" replied Deadlox.
"I am not blind and I have known you long enough now to know when all is not as it should be" said the Enderdragon his tone become more serious.
"And I won't let you leave till you tell me" he added lightening the mood again.
"It is nothing Milord" Deadlox eventually replayed.
"But there is something wrong so how can that be nothing" responded the Enderdragon.
Realising his King would not give in Deadlox decided to briefly tell him what was wrong, "it is just your son Sjin reminds me of someone".
"Who?" Pushed the Enderdragon.
"Someone I lost a long time ago" reapplied Deadlox.
"Who?" The Enderdragon pushed again but in a more sensitive and understanding tone.
"Someone close to me" replied Deadlox his answer as brief as all the others.
"Please Deadlox I am trying to help you but I can't if you are so brief with me" responded the Enderdragon.
"Ok Milord but it is a tale which I have never told any in much detail" started Deadlox.
"Please continue" encouraged the Enderdragon.
"It dates back to the time of the Great War and the battle for the Sky base" Deadlox paused as this bought back both fond and painful memories for him.
"There he stood at the top of the stairs to the main gate his butter armer glistening in the sun radiating a light that came no where near his majesty" another pause for reflection.
"He was grinning from ear to ear as he always did wielding his butter sword and defending his army and palace when all my nightmares came true all at once a bowman took aim and sent a flaming end arrow in to his pure heart before I had time to register what was happening an Enderman appeared in front of my love and stabbed his death bringing blade far in to his chest and in a bleak second the most important person in my life was... dead and I had done nothing to stop it" another pause where Deadlox held back tears of his lost love "and I am hostile towards Sjin, your son because his pure heart and innocence reminds me of him" finished Deadlox.
"I am sorry to hear of your loss and I never knew how true the rumors were about the love you and Sky shared" said the Enderdragon trying his best to be sympathetic but he noticed Deadlox winced when he mentioned Sky's name and realised how much pain these memories caused him so he told Deadlox he could stay if he wanted or he could retire for the day and Deadlox took him up on this ofer as he knew he would not function properly and his judgement will be clouded by his sorrow.
Back to Rythian.
"This is no use, I need another pair of hands and another head" snapped Rythian.
"Why not get Sips" pointed out Teep but he regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth.
"Why you blundering fool, Sips is as much use as a chocolate teapot" replied Rythian in a sharp manner.
"But I suppose I could find some used for the Canadian" added Rythian "go get him Mors Rythian finished.
"Now Teep I have a task for you" explained Rythian as get turned to face Teep.
"You must go find any Endermen who are still loyal to the old ways and me, you have until the indigo moon then are plans must take place" he continued "now go" he shouted and Teep ran out on his task.
When all others par Rythian had left Draco emerged.
"There you are, I was wondering when you would show your sorry hide" Rythian said in a cold, malicious tone this made Draco stutter in an attempt of an apology.
"Silence worm you are wasting valuable oxygen" snapped Rythian "and to make matters worse you are making me do the same" he finished.
"I apologise my lor..." Draco started but Rythian interrupted.
"Silence" barked Rythian, "now you have arrived I can find something USEFUL for you to do, you must go to all who know this vile creature, Sjin and find as much as you can about him, understood?"
"Yes my lord, I am..."
"Shut up."
A/N: so we have discovered Deadlox holds a grudge against Sjin because he reminds him of Sky who died in the great battle and Rythian has some dark plans up his sleeves.
On a different note I would love to know what your opinion's are on me writing a prequel for this tale?
