A/N: Thanks to hero of the dark and his spam updating… lol…. You have got the update you have all craved!

Disclaimer: I own only Nandon. And this chapter is from his POV

Nandon wandered around the hold… bumping past the human servants there and other riders alike… he was depressed as depressed as a human could be…his love his one and only love was gone and he was helpless and alone…even with fafnir there he felt as alone as ever. He felt fafnir reach out to him but he blocked it quickly Nandon was alone with his anger and sadness…

Nandon was slightly surprised when after wandering through the castle he found himself in Lily's room.. it shocked him.. and he wandered around.. he had never been in here at least more than to focus on anything other than her and his love for her. Nandon wandered over to the wall and noticed a small fairth of himself on the wall… it seemed to focus in with detail on his eyes which showed a mixture of love compassion and hope the rest of him seemed to blur out though and Nandon quickly grabbed the fairth and broke it over the floor in his anger and he instantly regretted it… Nandon began to weep and he slowly stumbled over to over bed.. Wrapping him self in the blankets that had covered them many times from the chill of the night. He laid down for a second then sat up as he found himself with a small square object under his butt. He leaned over and picked it up.. It was a diary. Lily's diary… he had seen her writing in this book just last night. He opened it to the very first page and it read "Today working at the inn this charming man came in. Though I confused him for riddly and kneed him in a rather… private area… He was very nice about it and by god I think I'm falling for him…" The first page ended there and he smiled lightly remembering the day they had met and then grimacing as he felt the knee in his crotch Nandon then flipped to the very last page and found a note to himself… it read "Nandon…If you are reading this then I am gone and your proposal went said… I'm sorry Nandon when we where in your room the night of the dance and you left for a moment I saw the box and got curious… and I want you to know if I do die.. then my answer was yes… one million times yes… Well here you are coming to get me… I love you Nandon." Nandon read the note over and over again and slowly his vision blurred and he saw the page being stained with tears and he wept freely though somewhat happily… Knowing she would have married him… Then he wiped away the tears and became angry again "What is it Nandon?" Fafnir said contacting Nandon and Nandon showed him the note and he felt Fafnir's sorrow through there bond "Oh Nandon… I can sense your anger… but do you think she would want vengeance Nandon? Or do you think she would want you to move on?" Fafnir asked Nandon and Nandon had to admit he made a pressing point 'Well what should I do my friend of heart? Should I let the one I loved killers get away with the act?" Nandon asked "I have merely given you my take on things Nandon… I will abide by your final decision…" After that fafnir left Nandon's mind and Nandon was alone once more… Or so he thought as Nandon looked up his face still tear stained he saw Feanaro standing there in the door way looking down at him. Nandon quickly stood up "What?" Nandon asked bluntly pretty disturbed that he had been followed so easily… "I heard crying and came to investigate…" Feanaro said with a slight grin that he instantly regretted as Nandon's face darkened in anger "You would be sad two if you went through what I went through last night…" Nandon said angrily "Calm down… It was just a joke… a bad one at that.." Feanaro said as he saw Nandon angry "What are you going to do now?" Feanaro asked as Nandon sat back down on the bed and looked up at Feanaro "I'm going to avenge her… and don't try and stop me.." Nandon said standing up and walked past Feanaro only to stop when Feanaro gripped his shoulder tightly holding him in place "Stop you? I'm going with you…" Feanaro said as Nandon turned around to look at him.. Surprise etched in every line of his face as he heard the words "Wha?" Nandon said confused "Nandon you and lily where my closest friends.. I'm not going to let going to let those creatures kill one of my closest friends and get away with it!" Feanaro said to Nandon and Nandon smiled "Thank you old friend.. It means a lot to me…" Nandon said and clapped Feanaro on the back smiling he briefly talked to fafnir for a second and he agreed then he walked with feanaro towards nandons room so he could get his weapon… Feanaro already had his…

When Nandon and Feanaro reached Nandon's room fafnir was waiting for them there and as Nandon grabbed his sword and Feanaro was just about to leave and go to his dragon when Nandon reached out and stopped him "Feanaro… you are my closest friend… and I consider you family.. and Fafnir agrees with me on this.. So…" Nandon trailed off to let fafnir finish "So would you accept my eldunari…" Fafnir said actually happily as he stared at Feanaro who was shocked "Y-yes… of course I will." He said quickly and fafnir stepped forward slightly and disgorged his eldunari quickly so quickly Feanaro could barely latch onto it in time "Thank you both…. This means a lot to me." Feanaro said as he stared at the teal swirling gem stone Nandon clapped Feanaro on the back and he walked out quickly clutching the eldunari like it was his most prized possession. Nandon quickly patted fafnir on the head and he flew out flying toward where they would meet in a few minutes… As fafnir flew away Nandon sat back down on the bed and read the note a few more times.. then whispered fiercely 'Ill avenge you my love… even if it costs my life…" slowly Nandon stood up blinking away the small tear that had formed in his eyes then he stopped himself… Lily was worth those tears…Fafnir nudged Nandon "Let us go partner of life." Fafnir said and he flew out of the room going towards the front of dragon hold. Nandon slowly walked out letting the tears he had felt slide down his face as he mentally and physically prepared for the battle to come.

Nandon arrived outside dragon hold and Feanaro stood there and nodded lightly adelind butted fafnir on the head silently voicing her own thanks to him for the eldunari… Feanaro walked forward "Nandon.. you are my best friend… and I hope nothing happens to you in the engagement.." Feanaro said climbing up onto his dragon with a slight smile. Nandon mounted on fafnir "I will try my friend." Then fafnir took off leading the way to where the creatures village was Nandon looked down at the landscape silently saying goodbye he kept the though separate from fafnir.. but Nandon had every intention of dying in this battle. When fafnir landed the vaillage was slightly smaller than yesterday but it still had plent enough of the creatures one of which walked forward "Ahhh ssssoooo you have returned… just assss the masssster said you would…" the creature then pulled down its hood and what Nandon saw shocked him.. it had grey skin.. black eyes completely… it looked almost like the shades Nandon had studied in texts from the library but these where much more powerful than a shade Nandon knew.. Nandon growled and rushed forward nearly falling off fafnir as he landed on the ground in a rush drawing his sword and he sensed Feanaro do the same… Nandon stood at the side of his dragon and there minds merged completely and they ran forward… Nandon could not tell whose claw or whose sword tore into the foes as they were one. Nandon suddenly found himself separated from fafnir though and began withdrawing his mind and fighting on his own.. twirling around his sword staff dealing would be death blows left and right then as Nandon blocked a over head slash his sword staff broke in half and Nandon kicked out at the thing pushing it back before stabbing it in the throat.. this should have killed the figure but instead the wound sealed around his sword and Nandon grunted trying to withdraw it until he finally jerked it free and the creature fell back dead but as Nandon stumbled he yelped as a sword knicked along his side. Through there mental contact Nandon could feel fafnir's pain and could do nothing about it as he hacked and slashed at those surrounding him then finally he felt a blade bite deep into his flesh right between right between to ribs and through his armor… it punctured a lung and Nandon pulled himself off it with a wease.. then he turned and brained the creature before turning back to the matter at hand… Nandon fought his way through.. his breathing becoming slowly and slowly more labored as he did so and blood filled his lungs.. finally he fought his way over to Feanaro bursting into the clearing of dead that surrounded.. the creatures sat there backed off eying him warily then Nandon burst through the crowd weasing as he felt more and more blood sink into his lungs… he was covered with numerous scratches and cuts all across his body.. slowly he stumbled over to Feanaro and feel down on his knees a single hand out stretched.. he felt fafnir pass into the void and anger and sorrow filled him but he had no energy to do anything about it… he felt one last tendril of thought come from fafnir "We… will wait for you… little one…" Nandon would have cried.. if he had the strength but he didn't.. it was only a matter of time before he himself passes into the void.. he already felt numbness taking over his limbs and knew he wasn't much longer for this world.. a single hand reached out to Feanaro still he slowly fell over on his side.. and rolled onto his back.. he no longer felt anything his vision came in cloudy and unclear… slowly a light filled Nandon's vision and then it faded he looked up and there stood lily a single hand out reached to him the smile he had always loved about her on her face behind her he saw fafnir and jazzlyn and Nandon slowly stood up and accepted the hand… then his vision faded and all went black….
