Disclaimer: I wish I owned Rath and Rune but I don't. Waaah.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* (Rune's POV)

"My lord it's Rath. He's trying to climb the castle wall because he want's to see if Rune's alright and no one would let him in."

"Well get him down and let him in. Rune's awake now. But tell him that since he acted so childishly he only gets to stay 10 minutes."

"Yes sir."

"My lord, it's hazy but I seem to remember Ruwalk telling me that you did the same thing only last year. How come he gets punished for it?"

"Because I want to talk to you alone and this is the only way that I'll get to."

"Oh."

Just then the door burst open and in came Rath; all out of breath.

"Sorry I'm late. I had to run from Alfeegi who was trying to kill me or something."

"It's all right but you only get 10 minutes so make it quick."

"Yes sir."

"Good! Rune I'll be back in 10 minutes."

"Yes sir."

"Good the geezers gone." Said Rath. Then he toppled onto a chair and groaned.

I started laughing at that. Rath is one of the only people with the capability to make me laugh.

Rath smiled ruefully at me, and then got serious. "Rune I want to know who attacked you. I've never seen anyone attack a Dragon who wasn't a demon, and never inside of the castle. Who was he."

"Well I can tell you that he isn't a demon. He's a sorcerer. And a powerful one at that. His name is Manjar. That's all I can tell you."

"Aw, why not Rune."

"Because your 10 minutes are up and it's time for you to leave." Said Lykoulyon. "Aw man."

(Lykoulyon's POV)

"Rune I need for you to tell me what happened last night in your room. It's not just for your sake but for the sake of the Dragon Tribe. I know you don't want to bring up your past, from before you became a Dragon, but this is important for me to know. I don't want anyone to get hurt."

"All right my lord but first I need to ward the room against eavesdroppers."

"Okay. And Rune. Everything that you tell me in this room stays in the room. I won't tell anyone what you tell me unless you agree."

"Good. Okay this is going to take a while but I might as well start from the beginning. I guess it started at my birth although some might argue that it started earlier than that. I was born with this mark on my shoulder. It's in the shape of an ancient sword. The midwife went into a fit and spoke the words of an ancient prophesy among my people. I only remember the part that says ' Chase the shadows, and steal the sun, thy destiny is begun.' My parents moved a lot. Always keeping me away from the demons and sorcerers. Only one time a sorcerer anticipated where they would move to and met us there. My parent's hid me and fought him off. I remember an inhuman scream before he killed my mother. I think it was him. I remember my mark glowing brighter and brighter as I chanted words that I shouldn't have known except that I did.( I remember now. This is what was missing in my dream) Suddenly there was a tearing sound and the light my mark was emitting died away. I ventured out onto the battlefield and found my mother's body among the sorcerers remains. She repeated the phrase of the prophesy before she died. Eventually I found Tintlet's family and they protected me and taught me until I became a Dragon. From them I learned that the sorcerers name had been Garin. His brother is Manjar. He is after me for revenge I think. And also I am the only blood heir to the fairy forest. That is another factor in Manjar's plan. Rule me and he rules the fairies."

"Interesting. Well if that's all for now that you can remember then I bid you good night."

"Thank you sire."
