Disclaimer: I don't own them waah.
Also it has come to my attention that I got a bunch of names mixed up. Supposedly Manjar only appeared the one time. Rune was attacked by Corinth another magician who he happens to know. Many will show up. Sorry for all the confusion, and on to the story. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(Rune's POV)
'I hope the Lord didn't notice that I left out a lot of information. It's still to dangerous for them all to know. I just don't want anything to happen to them. Especially Rath.'
(Normal POV)
Rune decided to get up and walk about the castle a bit. It felt like forever since he had been outside. He hoped that he wouldn't have to deal with anything more complicated than arguing with Alfeegi about being allowed out. That would be a mighty task in itself.
(Rune's POV)
"Why can't I go out? I'm totally healed now."
"The Lord gave me strict orders to see that you didn't leave this room. It is still to dangerous."
"Fine, I'll just stay in my room and suffocate. Will that make you all happy."
Before Alfeegi could retort back I went into the room and slammed the door. I needed to get out and away from Dragon castle before I was attacked again. I knew that many magicians would come searching to find out what the large magic discharge was about, and many of them would be more than happy to have me under their thumb.
I decided that I would have to go to extreme measures. I would have to climb the wall. I took my cue to leave when I heard the guards change. In an hour, they would bring me my meal only to discover that I had disappeared. I would be far away by then. As I climbed, I was too preoccupied to notice a pair of eyes watching my decent.
(Rath's POV)
'I couldn't believe it. Rune was climbing down the wall. After being told to go away for the 5th time I had decided to climb the wall to visit him, but here he was climbing down. I decided that I would follow him to see where he was going. It was obvious that they hadn't let him exit the room. Otherwise he wouldn't be climbing down the wall. Oh well. Time to follow.'
(After an hour)
'I couldn't believe it Rune had led me to a small house in the middle of an unknown forest. It was obvious that he knew where he was going. I was starting to get curious about this. The house had long since been destroyed. In the middle was a grave. Rune picked some wild flowers and placed some at the grave. He said a little prayer and moved on to another small pile where he started digging. I wanted to see what the headstone said. As I got closer (careful not to be seen by Rune) I noticed that the words were written in a child's handwriting. Rune's. The stone said "For mommy and daddy, who died so that I might live in our life's game of hide and seek."
I was so preoccupied that I didn't notice that Rune had come up behind me.
" I made that a year after they died."
" Uh, I'm sorry for following you. I just thought."
" It's okay, I noticed that you were following me once we entered the forest. You're not very quiet."
" Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't know that you would come to visit a grave I thought that you were going to run away or something."
" I was. I probably still am. I know that no matter what I tell you, you will still follow me. We might as well at least travel together."
Suddenly Rune broke into tears and started sobbing. "Why me, why was I cursed. Why did my parent's have to die."
Since I didn't know what else to do I just held him and caressed his hair. Soon he stopped crying and thanked me.
"It was nothing. You would have done the same."
He smiled and we started walking. To an unknown destination.
" I'm glad to have you with me." Said Rune.
"Glad to be here."
After that we just walked in the silence that we knew wouldn't last for long.
~**~ "All is going according to the plan my Excellency. They are headed our way."
"Perfect."

Did you like it? Huh?
Please inform me with your wonderful reviews. Remember, flames are given to Rath.
He he he.
If you can guess who the 'Excellency' guy is, then you get a cyber cookie. : )
