Disclaimer: Whoops! Sorry this is my first fic so I forgot to put this in. Anyway, not mine, blah blah yadda yadda yadda.

Thanks to all my reviewers! I really apreciate that someone read it. I actully have most of it written but I always send it to one of my friends for editing before I post it. I absolutely stink at editing so spelling errors are gonna be common. I also have word so I could turn the auto checker on, but it doesn't recognize the names so I turn it off. And if you're wondering why I don't use lol etc. in my writeing, it's because I never really understood it for a while and I still don't. Add to that my EVIL english teacher and my stickler parents and you have a recipe for a grammericly correct person. I also use very as much as possible so I can turn this in to tick her off because she abhors that word. (What is wrong with me? I'm using vocab words! AHHHHH!) I'm really bored, can you tell? Plus I'm on a sugar high from drinking six orange fantas. He he he.

PS: I like going Yadda Yadda Yadda when I'm bored and it's 10:00 pm and I'm bored so just skip over my cynical yadda-ing if you don't like it.

Shadowweaver: Thanks and I'm glad you like It. I went through and looked up all the D/N stories (So I like that combo, gimmie a break) and there are about two with the return to Carthak deal. Mine just had it for more of a vacation instead of a peace treaty or something like that.

CrAzYhOrSeGiRl88: Like I said, I have 11 chapters written but I never post without editing, more for the content than spelling, grammer, yadda yadda yadda. But I will try to update quickly. I can't update all of the 4th of July week cause I'm gonna be at a friends cabin. I'll try to put up all that I can before then.

Numair's Magelet: I promise you that it has a plot! And Don't worry about insulting me, I'm sarcastic by nature, as you'll see from my writing if you look, I wouldn't take that personally anyway. I don't mind constructive critisism, (I don't care if I spelled that wrong. Its summer and my english teacher can just deal with it! HA HA, so there Mrs. Strong!) It's the only reason I actully put this thing up! I want critisism so I can IMPROVE. It doesn't bug me.

Sitting Dragon: I'm glad you enjoyed it so far! The gods lied. There wouldn't be a plot if they didn't! It concerns Chaos so they had no way of knowing. (They have all the divine powers at their disposal and yet they loose track of another realm. Sounds careless.)

Chapter 4: More Awakenings

Daine had been doing her best to keep busy helping the rainforest animals who came to her in need of assistance and exploring the large area around the villa. Five days after she awoke she was exploring around the river when she heard Onua yelling; her heart skipped a beat and she expected the worst. She ran toward the sound and nearly ran into Onua.

"Onua, what is it?" "Numair! Numair's awake! The magic wore off! You can see him!" Daine's expression immediately changed from that of one of concern to one of joy. She began to run towards the villa, Zek clinging to her shirt, Kitten speeding along in front of her. She ran through the main doors, down one corridor, up another, up three staircases and through another corridor and she was there. She pulled open the door to his sitting room, ran through his study and pulled open the door to his bedroom.

"Numair!"

"Daine!"

Numair was lying on a large oak bed that was special made to accommodate his rather large stature. He was propped up by several pillows and his chest was heavily bandaged. His hair was badly tangled, but otherwise it was the same old Numair.

"Oh thank the Gods you're awake! Numair I was so worried." She ran across the room and into his waiting arms. He kissed her hard and long and left them both gasping. He pulled her down next to him on the bed; he wrapped his arms around her and held her. It pained her to see his heavily bandaged chest and leg. Alanna and everyone else in the room quickly, quietly left to leave the two lovers alone.

"Oh Daine. Daine. When you fell into the river.. I've never been so scarred in all my life. The only thing I remember thinking as I blacked out was your safety. You're okay, that's all that matters."

"Numair, why'd you have to jump in the river after me? You know the animals wouldn't let me drown. You aren't even as strong a swimmer as I am. What made you do that? I've never been more worried about anyone." She buried her head in his shoulder and let the tears come. He tried to soothe her with little success. She soon fell into a deep, dreamless sleep. She slept better that night in the arms of her lover than she ever slept on the finest feather mattress.
