~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I looked up just in time to see. Lord Lykoulyon.
"M-m-my lord what are you doing here?" I asked as quietly as I could hoping that Thatz and Rath wouldn't hear me.
"Oh just enjoying the view." He said with a knowing twinkle in his eye. "What are you doing up here?"
I swallowed. "W-well I was j-just going to see if I could surprise Rath and Thatz." I said.
"Ah what a good idea" said Lykoulyon, and before I could stop him he had swung through the open window to the surprise of Rath and Thatz.
I couldn't help but smile. He sure did like to keep things lively around the castle.
As I prepared to swing into the room I couldn't help but think of my mom and the last thing she ever said to me.
Shaking these dreary thoughts I gathered momentum for my launch, but before I could jump; I saw a messenger coming as fast as he could to the castle. As I could see that he was badly injured I figured that I had best get to him and see if I could help.
I jumped to the nearest tree and slid to the ground taking of at a run and didn't notice that I had almost knocked Rath to the ground while he was peering out the window looking for more unexpected visitors. I also didn't notice that I had torn my sleeve; exposing the mark for the whole world to see.
As I neared the messenger he fell to the ground. I could tell that he was tired as well as injured. I also noticed that he was elven. Like me.
I helped him to his feet and started to heal him when I noticed that he was looking at me rather strangely. Noticing that my shoulder was bare, I quickly covered it up. Muttering a silent curse at my stupidity I cast a quick forgetful spell. By the time we reached the castle, he had forgotten the whole incident. I quietly hoped that my use of ancient magic had gone unnoticed. Luckily for me, it had.
~~~~~~ {At dinner}
As I listened to Rath talk to some of the dragon officers, I thought about the events of the day. I had been pretty frightened when the messenger had seen the mark. Ever since I saw my mother and fathers mutilated bodies I had been terrified of people seeing the mark. Still something seemed to be missing in the dream. I couldn't remember what.
I did know that I didn't want anyone at the castle to find out about my mark. They would all be in danger then. I couldn't let that happen. They were like family to me.
I looked up and realized that everyone was looking at me. I blushed slightly because I don't like to be the center of attention.
With a slight smile Lykoulyon returned to addressing the officers. I wondered what that was about. I didn't have time to wonder because at that a servant ran into the dining hall and announced.
"Demon's are attacking the castle gates."
As people around me raced to get ready for the battle I noticed a lone figure crouching in a corner. Figuring that he was a spy I started towards him, when he suddenly disappeared. While I was trying to figure out where he went he suddenly appeared behind me and whispered "If you want information about your past just say the name Manjar and I shall come little dragon." With that, he left.
Very soon the others all rushed back in to the dinning hall. It seemed that as soon as the mysterious man had disappeared all the demons disappeared as well.
Everyone was talking at once. Everyone that is except Rath. He had noticed that I hadn't been on the battlefield. He also noticed that I was slightly paler than I usually am.
~~~~~~ Back in my own room I started to get ready for my nightly meditation when there was a knock on the door. Before I could answer Rath let himself in. I was surprised usually he doesn't knock.
"Why weren't you at the battle?" he asked.
"Um, my sword got stuck, and just as got it out everyone came back in." I improvised.
"I want the real reason Rune. I lie enough that I con tell when someone lies to me."
"You lie a lot?"
"That's not the point." Said Rath.
"Honestly Rath I can't tell you the reason. Or anybody for that matter. It'd put you all in danger."
It has some thing to do with the mark on your shoulder doesn't it.!"
"What!"
"Don't play dumb with me. I see you all the time looking at it or rubbing it as if it's sore. It's always covered up."
"Maybe I just don't want to get sunburned."
"Yea right! Just tell me Rune. You're the only one I care about in this whole stupid castle. You're like an older brother to me. I just want to know what's wrong!"
"That's exactly why I can't tell you."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Did ya like it? It was fun to write. Especially when Manjar snuck up behind him. Hee hee hee.
Poor Rune.
Please review.
Flames will be given to Rath who will use them to add to his power! Extra crispy.
Ideas are always useful, especially when it comes from you smart peeps.
