Chapter 6
Rune spent most of the morning in a daze. Something about last night. As an elf he had acute sense of his surroundings, even in his sleep. The aliment was affecting it slightly but he felt almost certain that he had slept on warm earth in the sun last night. That just didn't make sense.
As Thatz and himself rode in the litter again he ran the night back through his memory in detail. Rath had refused to go to bed and he had been so very cold. The only heat the elf had came from his red haired friend. Suddenly he remembered, with Thatz arms around him he felt more nourished and rested, but he didn't feel whole until Rath joined them under the covers. But why would that happen?
At this point the gentle sway of the litter and the happy humming from Rath started to lull the elf to sleep. He needed to remember something though, something important the elder had told him. Something….. about……fate?
Rath sighed once Rune finally fell asleep, he had been afraid that he hadn't used enough. Silently he thanked Thatz's quick-fingered nature, the ex-thief's stash of fairy sleep powder was becoming invaluable. This way he could keep them asleep a day at a time and cover vast distance. At this rate he would be a Kharl's little summer home by dawn the next day.
~~ Dawn ~~
The rising sun reviled Kharl's guests at his doorstep. The alchemist had acquired a few extra helpers from a local village. True they were mindless drones, but when you get them alive they can follow complex commands. That and not tip off an elf's undead senses.
Rath glared up at the demon with ruby daggers as the litter was taken from his hands. As the fire knight's little pet vanished from sight Kharl gave a mocking bow, "So glad you took my little invitation."
"Stuff it," Rath snapped, "You said this would take a week right?"
The taller man nodded not at all bothered by the outburst, "Yes and they must have a normal sleeping schedule, so none of your little fairy tricks."
This time the smaller one nodded he knew Kharl better than most. Red eyes settled to the ground, "I couldn't think of anything to tell them," Rath confessed, "it's getting harder and harder to lie to them."
The alchemist was not sure what had spurred this sudden confession or how any of it really mattered to the task at hand. But the next week wound be far more bearable if he was able to jab and the younger man from time to time. Though now was not that time.
Kharl patted Rath on the shoulder and nearly smirked at the sudden tension it caused. With a shrug he said, "They were poisoned, I am going to heal them. Plain and simple truth. Try that instead of some of your more elaborate tales."
As the alchemist got his guests settled Garfakcy paused in his window cleaning to gaze down into the courtyard. The young immortal frowned, Kharl normally confided in him even when he didn't want to know. But now the older man was carrying out some plan besides the one Garfakcy knew about. Hell the demon always had two if not more underlying plans.
The short fairy snatcher was so lost in thought he almost missed one of Kharl's servants stumble on an upturned corner or rug and fall against a door. What he didn't miss was how the mindless creature grabbed the doorknob twisting it open at he regained his footing. Nor the cackling oily brown streak that zipped out only to lose sight of it in the dim corridor.
Garfakcy acted on his first instinct. He turned around and ran to tell Kharl. This was very bad for whatever plans his benefactor had.
~~ In the guest lab, I mean, room ~~
Rune slowly opened his eyes to an unfamiliar sight, bare stone ceiling, with growing trepidation the water knight looked for anything familiar. His senses were back under the influence of what ever was wrong, but as he gripped fistfuls of the blankets he recognized the smell on them. Rath. So Rath had to be near by, right? And where was Thatz?
Feeling of vulnerability swept over him. Neatly blind and unable to feel the presence of his companions the elf was too nervous to call out. What if some stranger came in? What would he do? How would he even know it was a stranger? Rune wrapped himself in Rath's blanket. The soft musk settled his circling mind.
He knew Rath had been taking them somewhere. They must have arrived and he could have been too out of it to notice. Yea. And Thatz was just in a different bed. It may have sounded foolish to anyone else but Rune didn't want to sleep alone anymore. But there was little he could do about that in his condition so he sat quietly and waited, determined not to sleep until he got some answers.
~~ In Kharl's sitting room ~~
Rath just about ripped the proffered fruit leather in half as Kharl sipped his tea. The fire knight just wanted to be by his friends when they woke up, but Kharl said he had important things to discus. And ever since they got into this room all the basturd has done is sip tea.
Just as he was about to snap, the demon wizard spoke. His quite voice gave Rath a chill, "You will not like what I have to say, but I believe it is best that you know. Your little elf friend is more ill then I had planed."
"But I got here as fast as I could. It's been less than a week," Rath protested.
Kharl nodded, "And that is the only reason he is still alive. He is no longer elf, but not full dragon ether. The like has not been seen since my own master's lifetime." He took another sip and placed his cup to the side, "Have you ever wondered about the longevity given to those of the dragon clan? How even a demon can be brought into the fold?" Rath tried his best to keep hope for his love's health as Kharl's gaze went to the window, "Dragon blood resists change. Both knight's bodies are fighting the cerium and the demon water. The water knight's elfin nature makes him especially vulnerable. His blood has fought the cerium more then the water. I am afraid there is only one way to save him and it will be difficult for all three of you.
