Alfeegi: What goes wrong today?
Adeena: I told you, nothing, unless you count the Dragon Knights coming home to be something going wrong.
Alfeegi: Only if Rath broke his sword again.
Adeena: Oops! I guess something does go wrong then. Oh well!
Disclaimer: I don't own Dragon Knights.
Wednesday
****************************************
Two days later she was in the gardens with Raseleane and Lykouleon when the three Dragon Knights returned. Ruwalk brought the three with him to the gardens and said "Here they are, Lykouleon, safe and sound. Rath broke his sword again. It's a good thing Alfeegi's not here right now. He'd have a fit!"
"No he wouldn't" replied Lykouleon before listening to Rune's report. When Rune finished, Lykouleon smiled at all three and said "While you were away one of Raseleane's cousins came to stay with us. Selora, I'd like you to meet Rune, Rath and Thatz, Dragon Knight of Water, Fire and Earth" pointing at each in turn. "Rune, Rath, Thatz, this is Selora" pointing to where she was sitting playing the harp. As she looked at the three Dragon Knights they all smiled at her. She smiled in return and then returned to her playing.
Later, at dinner, Rath sat beside her, Fire on his shoulder. Their conversation during dinner was enjoyable for both and continued afterwards as they walked the garden paths. They eventually settled on a bench near one of the fountains. That's where she finally found the courage to ask "Can I hold Fire for a couple minutes?"
Rath did a double take, then looked at Fire, who held a sign that said Why? Since this was the same question Rath had to this request, he went ahead and asked it. The response he got in return caused him to laugh and say "Sure. I'm sure Fire won't mind being in female hands for a couple minutes" only to be hit by the sign Fire was holding that said No Way!
She laughed and Fire jumped to her lap. She gently explored his body and wings, getting a feel for him, his spirit. She gently caressed his head and smiled at the cooing sound he made in response. After about ten minutes of this she stopped and handed him back to Rath and said "Alfeegi is going to want you to fill out a form to get your new sword. If I help you with the form, will you let me go with you to pick out the sword?"
He looked at her for a couple minutes before answering. When he did, it was with a question of his own "Why would you want to go with me?"
In response she said "Fire needs a special sword. He's suffering right now. I'm sure you don't want that to continue, now do you? I can find Fire's sword, if you take me with you, that is."
"Deal" he said, rising and holding his hand out to her. "Ready to go in?" and smiled at her.
"Sure. Are you always this nice?" as the two start back towards the door they had left through earlier.
"Only to those I take a liking to" he replied, holding the door for her. "Or that Fire takes a liking to" as he got hit in the head by Fire's sign again.
Adeena: Next chapter is titled Thursday but it will not be posted on Thursday (akisawana). I don't like fighting the weekend traffic.
Alfeegi: Great! Gotta wait to see what trouble Rath causes next.
Rath: I do not cause trouble!
Alfeegi: Yes, you do!
Rath: Do not!
Alfeegi: Do!
Rath: Not!
Adeena: Need to get some duct tape here! Will you two be quiet?! *giving both Rath and Alfeegi death glares*
Alfeegi & Rath: No duct tape, please! We'll be quiet! Honest! *backing away from Adeena*
