Ok, someone asked me to continue my Kharl/Rune story. Problem with that: it got deleted and I didn't save it on my computer. I'll try and find the notebook I wrote it in, but I don't think I'll be able to. If not, then I promise as soon as I finish, let's say, Forced Secrets, then I'll come up with a new Kharl/Rune story. Real sorry about that. Hope no ones mad about it.

Go to previous chapters to see disclaimer. I'm tired of saying it.

Passionate Decisions

Chapter 11

Lykouleon groaned when Sachiel jumped on the bed waking him up. Last night, Lykouleon had finally been able to pull Rune away from Sachiel and Samir, who also seemed to have a deep respect for his mother. Lykouleon had placed his still sleeping Queen in their own bed and Lykouleon had quickly fallen asleep beside him.

"Sachiel stop. You'll wake your mother up," Lykouleon groaned again.

"But mommy promised to spend the day with me. And Samir too!" Sachiel said happily jumping on the bed once more.

Lykouleon looked over at the door and saw Samir standing there. He didn't look afraid to come in because he was scared of Lykouleon, more like he was afraid of being disrespectful.

"Samir, you can come in. I'm not going to bite you," Lykouleon said as he got out of bed. "And you Sachiel, leave your mother alone. He had a hard night," Lykouleon growled at him son when he saw that he was trying to shack Rune awake.

"But…" Sachiel began.

"I know, Sachiel. Your mother can join us when he wakes up. For now just let him sleep. He needs it right now."

Sachiel's eyes widen as he looked at him father. "You're actually going to come with us? I thought you'd have too many meetings."

"If you thought I'd be busy then why'd you ask me to come with you?"

"Because you're my daddy," Sachiel said smiling innocently at Lykouleon. Lykouleon had to admit, Rune was right about Sachiel's smile. He had defiantly inherited it from him father, just as he had everything else besides his eyes.

"If we're going to go then we should go now so we don't wake up mother," Samir said softly.

"All right," Lykouleon said as he shut the door behind them. "What should we do?" Samir just shrugged and Sachiel gave Lykouleon a look that clearly said 'I don't know.' "Fine then. I have an idea. Come on."

Samir and Sachiel looked at each other, both confused. They had no idea what the Dragon Lord was planning but followed him down the halls anyways. When they stopped outside of Lykouleon's office, Sachiel became even more confused.

"I thought you weren't working today."

"I'm not," Lykouleon answered. "I just need to get something really fast." Lykouleon quickly went into his study, grabbed a key and then left. He quickly walked down the halls with Sachiel and Samir in tow. He finally reached the door he was looking for and unlocked it. He led the two boys down a flight of stairs and into a room filled with nothing but swords.

"Let's see, I think I know what swords would suit you two best." As Sachiel and Samir wondered around in amazement, Lykouleon quickly grabbed two short swords and returned to him son and Samir. "Here," he said handing one to each of them. "Now we have to go find Tetheus so he can show you how to use them."

Sachiel shouted in joy, and dragging his brother along with him, ran out of the room to find Tetheus so they could begin training with real swords.

By the time Lykouleon reached the training field Sachiel was already there along with Samir and trying to get Tetheus to teach him how to use his new gift. Tetheus listened to the child ramble on with an amused look on his face and a raised eyebrow.

"Come on, Tetheus! Daddy said you were suppose to teach us!" Sachiel shouted at him.

"Did he now?"

"Yes! I keep telling you that!" the child shouted in frustration. "Stop being such a hard ass!"

"SACHIEL!" Lykouleon yelled. "Where did you hear that!" Lykouleon knew that Sachiel was going to learn sooner or later, but Rune would have his head if he found out that Sachiel had cursed.

"From them," Sachiel said innocently, pointing at Rath and Thatz who had been watching Sachiel argue with Tetheus.

Cenozura who had been coming out onto the training field, intent on forcing Tetheus to eat if she had to, glared at the two. Everyone there could have sworn that Alfeegi had come back from the dead at that moment.

"Um, we'll be going now," Thatz said quickly as he and Rath rushed off before Cenozura could yell at them and really go Alfeegi on their asses.

Tetheus just shook his head and sighed. Turning to Sachiel and Samir, and then to Lykouleon he sighed again. "Do you really want to teach them without talking to Rune first?" he whispered so that only the Dragon Lord could hear.

"I'm sure he'll be fine with it," Lykouleon whispered back.

"And what about all those meetings you have today?"

Lykouleon gave Tetheus a stupid look before saying slowly, "I guess Ruwalk can handle everything, right? I mean it is only one day."

"Yes, but Ruwalk's never had a meeting with all of the lesser lords at one time before."

"Um, well, I'm sure he'll do just fine."

Tetheus just shook his head before turning to Sachiel and Samir once more and beginning the lesson.

OOOOO

It was nearly noon when Rune showed up at the training fields. Sachiel was in the middle of swinging the sword and falling down for the fifteenth time when he saw Rune and ran over to his mother.

"Mommy!" he yelled cheerfully. Samir looked up and quickly followed his brother over to where Rune was, a small smile on his face.

"They shouldn't be running off in the middle of practice," Tetheus whispered to Lykouleon, though Rune overheard him.

"They've been practicing all morning Tetheus. I'm sure you'll let them had a small break for lunch. It was then that everyone noticed the basket in Rune's hands. Rune smiled as Tetheus nodded. Lykouleon and the Dragon Officer quickly set up the food while Rune listened to Sachiel and Samir tell about their morning.

"Wow, Cenozura really out did herself with this," Lykouleon said as he took a bite of the food that had been prepared.

"Well, thanks Lykouleon," Rune muttered, glaring st his husband.

"Your cooking is magnificent, My Queen," Tetheus said after eating one of the breadsticks Rune had cooked. It was then that Lykouleon realized why Rune seemed to be mad at him.

"You can cook?" Lykouleon asked in shock. "Since when?"

"Since I started going on mission with Rath and Thatz. I had to considering we couldn't trust Rath not to accidentally poison us, and we couldn't trust Thatz not to eat all the food before it was cooked."

"That would make since." Rune stilled glared at Lykouleon. "Come on," Lykouleon whimpered. "I didn't know you could cook. Besides, it's not like it said it was horrible. I love it, I really do," Lykouleon said trying to steal a kiss from his Queen.

"Lykouleon, stop acting pathetic. It's not going to work this time."

"But pathetic always works!" Lykouleon said wrapping his arms around Rune before beginning to kiss the elf's neck.

"Lykouleon," Rune whispered. "Save it for after lunch. We'll have Tetheus keep Sachiel and Samir distracted." Lykouleon just grinned mischievously down at the elf and Tetheus sighed knowing that he was going to get stuck with the kids.

Once lunch was over Rune walked over to Tetheus but the Black Dragon Officer just shook his head. "Just go," he said.

"Thank you so much Tetheus," Rune said happily as Lykouleon dragged his toward their room.

OOOOO

Time passed quickly for the Dragon Tribe. It had been almost elven years since Samir had come to the castle. In that time both him and Sachiel had become excellent fighters. Now that the two were coming closer to their sixteenth birthday, the time when you were consisted an adult in the Dragon Tribe; many brides were coming to see the princes. In the preparations for the ceremony, no one seemed to notice the darkness growing over the Demon Realm, nor the failing health of the Dragon Queen.

OOOOO

I know this chapter is bad and short; I just wanted something in between Samir coming to the Dragon Castle and the coming of age ceremony. I really didn't want to just skip straight to when the kids turned sixteen.

Anyways, read and review if you want the next chapter.

Preview:

The wind blew harshly around the Dragon Castle as the rain began to fall. Fedelta quickly pulled his sword from Rune's stomach, smiling evilly as the elf fell to the floor in pain. There was too much blood, and with his powers gone Rune knew that he couldn't survive that long. The acids in his stomach would quickly start to kill him.

It was only fifteen minutes before the Dragon Queen, the Water Dragon Knight, the last Elfin Prince, was dead.

There's the preview. Please don't kill me. If you do you wont be able to see what happens!
