Blue Dream: I'm back for a short while. Here's the next chapter. My muse Raven has returned from his vacation and we worked overtime on this. So give a great round of applause for my most valuable muse.

Raven: *blushes* Thank You.

Rayne: What about the rest of us? Didn't we help?

Blue Dream: Ummm... *thinks really hard for a long while* No.

Shadow: WHAT!!! How dare you say we didn't help.

Blue Dream: Ok. Tell me how you helped.

Shadow: Err... Well... I got you water.

Blue Dream: Anything else?

Shadow: I gave you my lollipop.

(The rest of the muses sweat drop.)

Blue Dream: I see. Anything else?

Shadow: Well I also got you a fork for dinner.

Blue Dream: Anything else?

Shadow: Umm... I gave you the rake outside. It wasn't my fault it hit your head. Then I got you the water yesterday. It wasn't my fault there was a worm in it. Then a put I a daisy on your desk this morning. How was I supposed to know you're allergic to daisies anyway! See! I was very helpful!

Blue Dream: *eyebrow starts twitching* I see. Is there anything else?

Shadow: What do you mean is there anything else? That's a lot!

(The rest of the muses start backing away slowly. Even Heero looks scared. *remember the last time Blue Dream got mad at Shadow?* Well they don't want her to get mad at them. Rayne and Solo are hugging each other and Duo is hiding behind Heero who looks very worried. Raven is getting worried about Shadow. He doesn't want to loose his boyfriend after all.)

Blue Dream: *lightning streaks behind her head* I see. *gets a giant mallet from hammer space and proceeds to hit Shadow with it* Here's how helpful you were. *looks at the rest of her muses* Any more complaints?

Muses: *look at pancake Shadow then look back at Blue Dream who has thunder and lightning crackling behind her* No we are just fine. No complaints whatsoever. *all of them nod heads very fast.*

Blue Dream: Good. *immediately becomes sweet and cheerful again* So anyway please enjoy the story.

Shadow: *moans in pain*................*there are little mallets with wings flying around his head*

Part Seven: The Bonding of the Storm Lords

He closed his eyes and floated, enjoying the feel of the water that surrounded him. The silver mist had all but disappeared. That meant that he had released enough power to sustain the forest. It also meant his power would be relaxed. Dozing peacefully, he was unaware of a pair of scarlet eyes that watched him from the edge of the lake.

They glowed with a bright scarlet fire that had a mad glint in them. The water darkened as the figure entered the lake. Cloaked in darkness, it glided on the water. The grass where it had stood was dead and lifeless.

The three of them opened their eyes at the same time. It seemed like they had been gone for ages.

"What happened?" Duo asked, looking around a bit confused. "Where was I?"

[You have all passed our test.] Wing said, [Would you like to stay for the night and attend the Dance of the Light?] he aasked.

"Dance of the Light?" Quatre inquired. "What is the Dance of the Light?"

[You will see little one.] Sandrock said.

[Come] Wing said as he led the way.

The three of them followed Wing into the forest. They were led through the thick woods and they could still feel the magic that moved and protected the forest. It was slightly weaker as if the power they had felt earlier was something like a power surge.

Finally, Wing stopped.

They were speechless at what they saw. There in the middle of a huge clearing was a beautiful temple. It looked magnificent. The walls and pillars seemed to be made of a crystal like stone and the floor seemed to be covered with a kind of marble that seemed to shimmer and swirl. Two doors seemingly made of gold sealed the entrance to the temple. The surfaces of the doors were covered with thorny silver vines that had leaves made of emeralds and flowers made of all kinds of jewels. At each side, two beautiful Storm Lord women statues stood. They were made of marble.

The one on the right held a sword with a blade made of crystal with a golden hilt that had a silver vine similar to those carved on the doors twining around it, a small diamond in the shape of a flower was embedded in the center of the hilt cradled upon a topaz gem, shaped like a crescent moon.

The one on the left held a sword with the same design except that the crystal was black and the hilt was silver. The vines were gold and the flower was made of a violet amethyst. The crescent moon was upside down and it was made of some kind of black gem.

"What is this place?" Duo asked in awe.

[This is the Temple of the Prince of Light.] Shi answered.

"Why are we here?" Wufei asked frowning slightly. He could feel a strange power coming from within. It seemed almost like the power that had flowed through the forest except that it was somewhat wilder.

Wing stepped up to the doors. Taking the diamond shard from around his neck, he held it up and said.

~[Anira fin tel mani khan, la feyi eris sayi kina.

Mi Sheiral flosian val kir la Geyren.

Iv Airei deni cavax no terke,

Hiyr savi man leymi

Sheine kan Sheiral serkela hamas.]~

~By destiny's call the time has come.

Evil is free and the Prince is awakened.

The Dark Child is here and our time grows short,

In Airei's name open to me,

By the Light and Dark will the choosing begin.~

The golden doors opened slowly. As the doors opened wider, they could see the hall inside. Once the doors stopped moving, Wing stepped forward and entered the temple. The three of them followed gazing at their surroundings in awe. The hall was lit with several round globes made of crystals slightly smaller than the head of a person. There at the far end of the hall, was a statue. It was the statue of a youth with wings and long hair. His face was unseen in the shadows. He held a single flower in one hand. It looked alive. It had delicate pure white petals with silver tips and deep green leaves. There was a small pool at his feet and clear crystal water sparkled in it.

[Are you ready?]

The three of them nodded.

[Very well, come forward. Drink the water and your soul will choose your bond.] Wing said.

They nodded and stepped to the pool. All of them knew what to do by instinct.

Quatre went to the pool first, kneeling, he cupped his hands and drank the crystal clear water. It felt like liquid fire running through his veins. Suddenly he screamed as golden fire erupted around him. Golden fire with flecks of pale blue swirled around him. His clothing vanished in the flames as the fire caressed his body. A barrier of flames as black as night with silver tips surrounded the area he knelt in. Suddenly, what looked like a huge golden brown cat ran past those watching. It was thrice the size of a tiger and had two razor sharp fangs protruding from its mouth. A golden horn emerged from its forehead. It jumped into the dark fire and at once the flames erupted into a dome. The two could no longer be seen.

"What the hell happened?!" Duo demanded, looking at Wing with anger in his eyes.

It was not Wing however who answered. A hand was placed on his shoulder to calm him. Turning, he found himself looking into emerald green eyes.

"They are being bound." Trowa said to him. "It is necessary."

[Trowa, it is about to climax.] A new voice said.

Duo looked and saw a tall male Storm Lord standing beside Trowa. He was taller than Wing and had brown hair that looked somewhat spiky even if it fell to his waist. His eyes were a pale green flecked with gold. His ears and tail were a shaded darker than his hair. He was also bare chested and the cloth around his waist was a deep dark forest green. Two gold arm bands encircled his wrists and a golden snake wound around his right shoulder. It had emeralds for eyes. There was an emerald shard hanging around his neck. On his left shoulder, Duo saw a golden mark in the shape of a leaf.

"Nanashi?" he asked surprised.

Nanashi inclined his head in agreement. [Greetings to you Dark Child.] he said.

Suddenly the whole room brightened as the dome of dark fire exploded. In its center, Quatre stood a smile on his face as he looked up at Sandrock who had a hand on his shoulder. Looking forward, he smiled at Duo then saw Trowa standing beside his prince. Smiling even more brightly he suddenly wavered then fell into Sandrock's protective arms. The last thing he saw before he lost consciousness was a pair of emerald eyes looking at him while he felt warmth surrounding him.

"Quatre!" Duo exclaimed when he saw his friend and mage collapse. "Is he all right?" He asked Trowa who had also come forward and wrapped his cloak around the tired mage. The Elf prince nodded in response.

[Who is next?] Wing asked.

"I am." Wufei said stepping forward. He knelt and drank the water. This time a whirlwind erupted around him. It swirled around his clothing and ripped it to shreds.

Nataku watched as the young warrior stood. Suddenly, compelled by a force he didn't understand, he turned in his dragon form and walked forward. Stepping into the slashing air he stood by the young warrior.

Those who watched saw a hurricane wrap around the two. Suddenly it stopped. All of those watching were surprised at what they saw.

(This would have made a great cliffhanger really. I'm still wondering why I didn't end it here.)

Wufei stood calm and serene in the center. Nataku stood behind him. What shocked the others though were the claws Wufei seemed to have acquired. His hands matched those of Nataku's. Each finger had a golden claw. Around his right arm a golden dragon twined. It had ruby red eyes. He also wore a golden circlet around his forehead with the carved head of a dragon. In the dragon's jaws was a glowing ruby.

[You have been chosen Dragon Child.] Wing suddenly said.

Wufei bowed in reply.

[You have our thanks.] Shi said.

Before anyone else could reply, Wing screamed in pain. His diamond glowed white. Suddenly he shifted, changing his form. A really, really, REALLY large wolf like creature stood in his place. He had silver claws and a large golden horn on his forehead. Two beautiful angel wings emerged from his back the edges silver tipped. Roaring in pain. Wing bounded off out of the temple into the forest.

He struggled against the bonds binding him. He didn't understand. He had been bathing when pain erupted in his mind as he felt bonds wrapping around him. These bonds were different. He couldn't break free. They bound and trapped his magic in him. Lying on the forest floor, he was naked his arms bound above his head and his legs spread wide apart in a vulnerable position. Something constricted his vision. He shivered as he felt the evil around him. All of a sudden the pain he had felt before in his mind returned tenfold. And this time, his body felt as if he were being pierced with a thousand needles as well. He screamed in agony.

`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~`~

Oh this was delightful. Here on the ground was innocence embodied and spread out just for him. Beautiful. Perfect. Mine! Making a slight gesture with his hand, he made the child feel all the pain in the world. He laughed insanely when the child screamed. Oh he loved that scream! 'Pretty angel you are mine! Mine to touch! Mine to hold! Mine to hurt! And mine to take! I will never let another claim you!' He was so enchanted by the screaming youth that he did not sense the huge creature that ran toward him. Smiling to himself, he let loose one of his Kev Xirrash. Letting the creature play he watched with mirth as it began circling the innocent boy.

End Part 7

Here's a hint on the next chapter. It's the start of what everyone wants. ^_~

Notes: None really. What did you think of this? Was the bonding okay? I mean… well? Any questions? Is it too confusing?

Please, please tell!

Umm............... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heero and didn't meet here. SORRY!!!

By the way, I'm still not sure how long before the next update. I'm suddenly very busy and the house is still being fixed. To make matters worse its RAINY SEASON!!! *cough* sorry. I'll update as soon as I can.

++++++++++++++++

Ashly - O my God! Do you really have Heero Plushies? I always wanted one! Couldn't get one though *sniffles tearily* You think the lemon was good? Really? Thank you!!! ^_^ Don't worry they'll meet soon. Not in the next chapter though. ^_~ Thanks for reviewing!

Golden Rat - Ummm.... Let's see.... Zechs is sort of spelled. He's been spelled to serve. However, since Zechs and Treize are destined to be together, there is a connection. He would have responded sexually even without the connection because of the spell. However, since there is a slight bond, his responses were real. He seems somewhat eager because the spell interacted with the bond therefore enhancing his desire.

Thank You.

Odin has control of Zechs but he has no control over Treize. He thinks he has but his only hold over Treize is because of Zechs. Remove Zechs and Treize is free to do as he pleases. However since Treize does want Zechs, he will do almost anything for him.

his infernal majesty - Thank you, I'm glad it helped. Thank you again and I'll try to update as fast as I can.

Please Review! I really like reviews! PLEASE REVIEW!
