Triangles can be fun

Chapter 2

Jilge sat back in her rocky sanctuary smiling to herself. She had finally given that black haired knight the revival water. Oh it had been hard to wait for that fool to be vulnerable outside of the palace. As he had fished she personally was able to sneak to the edge of the small river and empty the little bottle. She had sensed more then saw empowering liquid cling to the young knight relived that Shyrendora would not kill her for her near failure. After all the kid was looking better and the fate of the other two hardly concerned her.

~~ Late afternoon ~~
Thatz happily munched on an apple as they came up to the crest of a hill. A little farming community was spread in the valley below and was dominated by a huge slightly battered temple. "Look look, could it be a demon?" Rath asked with his usual enthusiasm piloting and jumping like a kid at a candy store window.

The other two knights looked closer and saw distinctive claw marks on the side of the temple. "They're probably very old," Rune said logically with a hint of hope in his voice.

"Really?" the fire knight looked nearly crushed as his red eyes sought out green, "you don't think so do you?"

The ex-thief resisted the urge to give his friend a comforting hug and smiled. "Well you never can tell. Acid could make the marks look old from a distance."

Rath's excitement came back ten fold, "Yea and that would make it really strong."

As Rath started down the path singing to himself Thatz saw Rune's look of near hopelessness. "Cheer up Rune," the earth knight said putting an arm around his friend's shoulders and started guiding him down the path, "You're probably right. I just can't stand to see the kid sad, you know that."

"Yea," the elf nodded. But as Thatz was racking his brain for an excuse to keep his arm around the blond he noticed something flash through Rune's blue eyes.

"You okay?" the earth knight asked concerned.

The water knight unconsciously leaned into the comforting hold and sighed, "It's nothing."

As their walking slowed Thatz concern over Rune grew. The blond seamed to almost be dragging his feet, and that was a very un-elfin thing to do. Rune also noticed his own sluggishness and gripped Thatz tunic in an effort to stay on his feet. Something was very wrong. Suddenly the elf's skin became very cold.

~~ Up the trail ~~

Rath was feeling great. Unnaturally great really, but he didn't let that bother him. Being around the other two always made him feel better. And as he skipped along looking forward to some good old-fashioned destruction he couldn't help but think he was missing something. Sure he had let his attention slip this morning, but he had berated himself over it so that couldn't be it. Suddenly he felt like all the air had been ripped from his lungs, something was wrong with the two he cared about. In a fraction of an instant he was back to the crest of the hill where he fell to his knees in shock.
