Rune prowled the dark alleyways near Draqueen's capital. He wasn't really hungry, only bored. If he found a human, unlucky enough to be by himself, he would drain a bit of blood. He always left enough for the victim to live.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The moment Rath entered the Dragon Castle ground Alfeegi was upon him screaming like the nine hells.
Rath though, wasn't in the mood for a lecture.
"Move. I have something important to tell the Lord." He pushed passed the stunned Alfeegi, who could do nothing but follow.
After searching the castle, Rath found the Dragon Lord in his study.
Rath walked in with a grim face. It told Lykoulyon more than Rath's first words.
"Rune's gone berserk."
The Dragon Lord quickly called a conference of all the Dragon Officers. Rath told his story of the strange event's that had happened, and showed the mysterious items that had fallen out of Rune's pocket.
When the items were laid on the desk, Lykoulyon gasped.
"My lord? What is it?" Asked Ruwalk.
"I recognize that ring. It is described in the first Dragon prophecy.
When one as dark, As midnight's pitch, Wears the ring of serpentine twist; Dark turns to light, And the battle begins;
When Water's Mark, Sets it's will be known, Once again, for the last time, Shall the Dragons fight the bloodthirsty shadows;
Two outcomes there will be, If the one as fair as pale moonlight, Fights and wins against the thirsty shadows he set loose, All shall be fine again;
But if the one as light as the moon, Fails to defeat his own shadow self, The world will be plunged in darkness, And all shall taste despair.
The Dragon Officers gaped. If that prophesy was matched for Rune, there was no way they could determine the outcome. Rune had always been solitary, so none of them knew the true extent of Runes power.
Lykoulyon frowned and looked at the small glass vial. It held a clear liquid, that wasn't easy to define.
"What's wrong my lord?" Asked Kai-Stern.
"Oh nothing. I just can't figure out what's in the bottle."
Kai-Stern lifted the bottle, and sniffed it's contents. "Smells like restoration potion."
"What?" Asked 6 confused Dragons.
Kai-Stern sighed. "Restoration potion. An old lady near the fairy forest used to make it. Some are made with light, such as this one, and some are made with dark. They can tip the scales, if a person is almost becoming a demon."
Lykoulyon gaped. "You knew of these potent potions, and you never told us? Just think of how deadly they could be in the wrong hands."
Kai-Stern shrugged. "As I said, only the old lady knows how to make it, and you can't find her unless she wants to be found."
The Dragons conferred late into the day. Finally, they had to light lamps so that they could see. None of them noticed the dark being slip into a corner of the room.
Suddenly Rath remembered what Rune had told him. "Oh yea. Rune said for you to watch out, because he was coming for the Dragons."
"Too late." Said the dark being, as it stepped out of the shadows. "You never were good at relaying messages were you Rath."
The Dragon officers surrounded Lykoulyon in a vain effort to protect him.
Rune saw their pitiful attempt and laughed. "There's nothing you can do. I have put the entire castle to sleep. They will only awaken when I am defeated. Now it's time we settled this once and for all."
Rune slipped through the Dragon Officers like mist. He stood up before Lykoulyon and said, "Prepare to die." As he thrust his sword towards the Dragon Lord's chest.
