Disclaimer: I wish I owned Rune and Rath, bur I don't. Boo hoo hoo.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
(Rath's POV)
As I was grabbed by the flying demon, all I could do was gasp. It carried me to a dark looking castle, where it promptly dropped me inside before vanishing. It had flown me in through a high window, that I couldn't reach. Not that I wanted to try. The demon had flown pretty high.
I decided to try the door. It was the only one in sight and seemed to be my only option. I hoped that it led to a staircase.
I slowly opened the door. There was a lone figure in the room He stood staring at a small metal cage in the corner of the room. He glanced at me when I entered. I malicious smile creeped onto his face.
"Hello little one. Have you lost your way. I had hoped to see you soon." He said. "WhywasIbroughthere?Whatdoyouplantodotome?HowdoIleavethisplace?Whoareyou?Is thisaboutRune?Ifsowhatdoyouwantwithhim?WhyamIhere?" I said in a rush.
"Ha ha, slow down with your questions if you want them answered." The stranger said. "First off you are here as bait. I don't plan to do anything to you unless Rune doesn't show up within 10 days. You can't leave this place unless I or someone stronger than me wills it. Who I am is none of your concern. I need to awaken Rune as a means to harness his full powers. And I already answered, why you are here. Do these answers satisfy you?"
They didn't but I could see that I wouldn't get any more out of him so I nodded my head.
"Good. Now for 8 days you are free to walk around my tower. Just will yourself to go somewhere and a door will appear, to the needed destination. Only don't try to leave. It won't work. Well good by for now. I expect that I will run into you often."
When he had finished speaking, he walked over to the door that I had entered through and walked through, shutting it after him.
I raced over and yanked it open, only to find the empty corridor, in which I had been, dropped. I decided not to worry about where he had gone, but instead about getting some food. I thought of the kitchen and when I opened the door again I stepped into a dimly lit chamber. I stalked over to the cabinets and made myself a sandwich. Trying not to worry about Rune I went back to the door, and went to a bedroom.
I sighed. It would be a long night.

I awoke to the sounds of bacon sizzling. I sat up slowly. When I noticed that my headache was gone I sighed. At least something was looking up.
I then remember what had happened the day before. I had almost forgotten. I needed to find Rath at all costs. The only thing was, was that I didn't even know where to start looking.
The demon's that attacked us had, had a familiar sent, but I couldn't quite place it. That was not unusual. My memory had many things missing. Many of my memories came and went. Only a few ever stayed permanently.
The old woman looked up from her cooking.
"It's good to see you awake." She said "I was afraid that you might sleep for the entire day."
"Mnmnm." I mumbled.
"I know that you need to look for your friend, so I will give you all of the help that I can. The fairie magician who captured him is called Jakken. He intends to use your friend as bait. To lure you to him. I do not know what he plans. Perhaps he wants to kill you and perhaps he wants you to awaken. I just don't know. His tower lies at the edge of the fairie forest where you grew up. It is my suggestion that you go and face him head on."
That said she dished me some food, and insisted that I eat up. Mumbling about not getting enough to eat, she started looking about the hut in search of some item. Soon she pulled out two strange, yet enchanting items and brought them over to me. One was a ring shaped in a spiraling dragon that held a diamond in it's mouth. The other was a glass vial.
"Use these only when you are in desperate need. You will know what item to use when it is the proper time and place. The only advise that I can send with you, is that you should hold your own counsel, and don't put much trust in what others tell you. Even if you think it is a friend talking to you. Trust your instincts and go with your heart. They will not mislead you. Now It's time for you to leave. Here is fair for the sea voyage. That is the quickest way."
As I headed out her door, feeling rushed I heard a faint whisper of 'good luck, and godspeed' before the tiny hut had vanished.
I started walking down the pathway through the forest. I wasn't sure what was before me, but I was sure that it was the right thing.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The ending sentence stank I know.
I might become restricted to using the computer once every-other-day for an hour, so if I might not update as soon as I like.
I would sincerely love to know what you think of my story so far. Ideas are welcome and appreciated. Flames are given to Rath. : )
