Part 7: And Then There Were Five
"You're Dalamar???" Silvan managed to gasp out. "We're in the ABYSS??????" Gilthas shouted at the same second. "That is correct. Now I would like to know why you are here," Dalamar said, and plopped himself down on the ground, looking up at them. "We seek the resting place of Moruadh," Keaira whispered. "Moruadh? The 23rd god?" "Goddess." "Same difference." "I suppose. Yes, that's right. Do you have any idea of where we might find her?" "Hmmm.no, not really," Dalamar paused. "But I think I know of one who might." "Who?" Keaira said eagerly. "He might not want to see you.but then, he might. One never knows, not with him." "Can you take us to him?" Dalamar thought this over. "I could." "Will you?" "Oh.very well. Let's go."
The man whom Dalamar spoke of was sitting alone in his little area of the Abyss. He.felt.Dalamar approaching. There was no other way to say it. "Enter, Dalamar." "Greetings." "Greetings." The man saw Keaira, Silvan, and Gilthas behind Dalamar. His eyes narrowed in surprise and mild displeasure. "Who are they that dare trespass here?" "I apologize for bringing them without your permission, but their mission is urgent." "Go on." "The world is again in danger." The man smiled sarcastically. "And what do I care for the world? The world never cared for me." "You helped the world before." "The circumstances were different. Introduce me to your.unusual companions." "Very well. This is Silvanoshei, King of Silvanesti." The man smiled cynically. (A/N: Now you really should know whom our friend here is.) "Greetings Silvanoshei of Silvanesti. Who are the others?" "This is Gilthas, King of Qualinesti." "Your father was Tanis Half-Elven, correct?" Gilthas was mildly taken aback. "Yes, sir, but." "I see. And the third?" "This is Keaira, Queen of Kaganesti." The man blinked in surprise. It was only a flicker, but he could tell that Keaira saw it, even though she couldn't see his face. "Greetings, Keaira of Kaganesti." "Greetings," she said quietly. "Well, Dalamar? Why did you bring them to me?" "They seek Moruadh. I thought that you might know where she is." "And if I do? Why would I tell them?" "You know as well as I do." "You are correct. I do know why I should help them," he sighed. "Very well." He turned to Keaira. "I will help you find Moruadh." "Thank you, sir," Keaira said. "Might I inquire as to whom you are?" "You might.but that doesn't mean I'll tell you." Keaira rolled her eyes. "Then what point would there be in asking?" "None." "Exactly." "Then why are we even discussing this?" "You tell me." "You're impossible." "So are you."
(A/N: Tee-hee.I like how this relationship is starting.it'll only prove to be more interesting as it goes on.I hope!!)
