Cage Bird in the Dark
Chapter 10 (wow, I didn't think I would get this far!!)
'Two destinies he will have Both will led to the doom of evil Yet if he is killed The world of light will fall Never again to arise.'
'What's happening? Why can't I hear, or move for that matter?'
"Rune, please you have to open your eyes now," a quiet voice whispered in his head.
"But I can't!" The elf didn't know who he was talking to, but the voice sounded familiar.
"Please Rune, we can't stay here for long and there is much that needs to be explained to us," a new voice said.
Rune slowly opened his eyes. "My lord?" he asked, shocked, when he saw Lykouleon kneeling over him. "Mom?" he asked when he seeing another figure behind the dragon lord.
"So you really are his mother?" Lykouleon looked up at the beautiful elven woman at his side. She just nodded her head, eyes closed, as if dreading what she was about to do. Rune slowly sat up as Melsern (1) opened her eyes.
"I called you both to this world so I could explain to you what happened.
"Long ago I met the faire elder and, yes like you suspected Lykouleon, I did exchange my dragon blood for faire blood. The reason, because I felt it was my duty. He told me that the time of the prophecy was coming and that, if I wished, I would play a roll in it. As you know I agreed and, thus gave birth to you, Rune," she said, the last part directed toward the water knight.
Both Rune and Lykouleon looked at her with shocked and confused looks in their eyes, yet their faces betrayed no emotions. "Why are you telling us this now?" Lykouleon asked from his place beside Rune.
"Because I was forbidden to tell you while I was alive. Please do not interrupt me again. This is hard enough to explain as it is."

"My lord?" Cesia asked, waving a hand in front of Lykouleon's face. They had set up camp for the night and the dragon lord had taken first watch. She had awoke to find that he seemed to be zoned out, his eyes glazed over. She knew that he was alive because he was still breathing, but he was unresponsive to everything. Cesia was binging to get really scared. Although she had the Wing Staff, she didn't know if she could face demons and protect the dragon lord at the same time.

"Um, Lord Nadil?" Shydeman asked coming into the demon lord's study.
"What is it, Shydeman? I thought you were suppose to be watching over the elf."
"I was, my lord, and well.you might want to came see this."
Nadil followed Shydeman down the halls, toward the room were they had placed Rune. When they got there Shydeman stood in the doorway, while Nadil went to go examine the dragon heir.
Rune's eyes were glazed over and he looked dead, except for his chest, which was rising and falling with his breathing. "Damn it!" Nadil yelled for all of Dusis to hear. He knew exactly what was going on and he knew that he would have to kill the elf just as soon as he woke up.

"Two destines he will have
Both will led to the doom of evil Yet if he is killed The world of light will fall Never again to arise.
"You both know that this is the first prophecy of the fairies. This refers to you, my son," she said directing the last part to Rune. Melsern looked sadly at her child, and it seemed to both Rune and Lykouleon that tears began to well up in her eyes. "Unfortunately, Nadil knows this. Once you leave this world he will try to kill you, yet know while you are here he cannot harm you."
"Lykouleon, you must hurry. Nadil is not were you suspect him to be. Cesia and you will arrive too late if you go to his original hideout (2)." She held up a hand to his forehead, barely touching, a soft glow admitted from her hand, showing Lykouleon was to go.
She then turned to Rune; tears were now running down her face. "Rune, my son, take care, and don't let Nadil clam your life. Please remember that I love you with all my heart." By this time she had pulled Rune close to her, hugging him tightly. Soon Rune had vanished from the world Melsern had called him too.
Lykouleon looked at her, no emotion whatsoever betrayed in his face. "Dear brother, please look after yourself as well as my son. I love you as well. Please, also, take this, it will save him." She handed a small vial that was filled with a bright, clear liquid.
She took her brother into her arms and hugged him, much like she had done with Rune. Then she whispered in his ear, "If you let him get killed then you never will have a moments rest, I will see to that." And with that, Lykouleon was released from Melsern's world.
