Cage Bird in the Dark
Chapter 3
Water suddenly sprang up and started beating his wings furiously and
thrashing about. Fire and Earth were trying their best to keep him from
hurting himself further. "What's wrong with him?" Rath whispered, his eyes
fixed on the madden dragon.
"Nadil has done something to Rune and it's affecting Water as well." Lykouleon answered, also whispering and staring at Water.
"Look at all this!" Thatz said popping up from the tunnel he had dug (which was now finished, yet he wouldn't let anyone else in it besides himself. Go figure?) He dumped a bunch of gold and jewels by Rath but the Fire Knight just glared at him.
"You're supposed to be looking for Rune, not some stupid treasure." Rath's voice was so cold it could have made Nadil freeze and think twice about doing anything evil.
"Oh, that's right! I did find." Thatz suddenly stopped, thinking about what Rath would do to him if he found out that he had. Well he didn't want to think about that either.
"What did you do?" Rath's eyes were on fire and Thatz could tell that he was going to be dead.
"I found Rune!" Thatz said in an almost silent voice. He was ready to jump back into the tunnel for when Rath tried to behead him.
"You did what? Were is he?" Without waiting for an answer he jumped into the tunnel and started running down it. Lykouleon and Thatz right behind him.
Nadil's Room
Rune watched, wide eyed, as Nadil came toward him. He knew that he was defiantly dead this time. "That was not a very wise move, elf." Nadil spat out the word elf as if it was some discussing thing he didn't want to deal with.
Rune closed his eyes when he felt Nadil shove the fruit into his mouth. He wanted to spit the sour juice back at Nadil, but Shydeman clasped the elf's mouth shut. When he let go of the Water Knight, Rune slumped to the floor coughing and sputtering. He could feel Nadil's cold eyes upon him. "Put him back." He barely heard the curl voice. And when Shydeman grabbed his arm, he slipped into darkness.
In Thatz's Tunnel
Lykouleon had lit a torch, the only source of light. They had been walking for about 30 minutes. Thatz finally turned a corner and began examining the ceiling. "Thatz?" Lykouleon questioned.
"Yes my lord?"
"What were they doing to Rune when you saw him?"
"I saw Shydeman drag him back over to a cage. What I was confused about though, was that it was in what seemed to be a bedroom."
"Nadil put him there in case he says our weakness in the night." Rath said, taking the torch from Lykouleon.
"Well anyways, this is where we go up." Thatz began to pull himself through a hole in the ceiling. "All clear. Come on," he whispered back to the other two.
Dragon Castel
Birds flew from trees as a very angry dragon officer stormed through the halls. "LYKOULEON, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS????!!!!" Alfeegi's voice broke the silence
Nadil's Room
They found themselves in Nadil's room and Thatz led them over to the cage. Rath hated the sight he saw. Rune was sprawled on the cage floor, his blonde hair looking like a halo. His eyes were closed, yet when Lykouleon called his name he opened them. The once gentle blue eyes were now unfocused and unseeing. "He's been given a Restuion Fruit." Lykouleon whispered, pulling an extra shirt from his pack. Rath looked back at the elf and noticed that his bear back and chest were covered in scabbed and dried blood.
Thatz carefully began trying to pick the lock. When there was a small click Rath was the one to get Rune out. The elf just slumped to the floor when he was out. "What exactly does that fruit thingy do to people?" Thatz asked.
"It steals their minds." Lykouleon said in a cold whisper.
"Yes, and the only way to reverse it, is for you to find a crystal in the form of a rose. But that would be sort of hard, considering there are only two. And you can't get to either, for one you will never be able to find, and the second one I have." Nadil stood in the doorway, holding a small but beautiful crystal rose.

I know this is short but I had to stop it there because I like pushing it in my friend's face that she can't kill me or she will never find out what happens next.
This may seemed fast paced but all my stories are, because I'm a person that gets right to the point, so stop yelling at me about that. Everyone note: I will be updating other stories so this ones going to have to wait because I also don't really know what happens next. Sorry!
