Chapter 4
Rune sighed as the conversation ahead of him ended. With a glance to Thatz, the returning crooked smile told the elf that the ex-thief had heard too. "He is going to give me gray hair. That curiosity of his is boundless," Rune said wearily.
Thatz put an arm around him, "That and my appetite," the red head winked, "you know I'm insatiable." And before Rune could squeak Thatz dipped his head down and nipped at the juncture to Rune's neck right above his shoulder.
The blond batted him way lightly and Rath pouted, "No fair, I had to ask and you guys beat me to it."
As the duel haired young man reached toward Rune, Thatz pulled the blond back, "Tisk tisk, Rath," the earth knight said, "This is punishment." Rath pouted and Thatz continued, "Now lover you know what you did wrong right?" Rath shook his head and started to look sad.
Rune took pity on his dark haired love, "The next time you want to be spontaneous like that, let us in on it before hand, okay?" the blond smiled.
Rath nodded looking at the ground. "Have you learned your lesson?" Thatz asked grinning. Rath nodded again and before he looked up he was nearly crushed in a double embrace.
The three got lost in the moment of closeness until a polite cough, or two, made them look at Tetheus. The Black Dragon Officer was a light pink, "Now can we continue on? I had expected to reach the Plains of Mother by dark."
Rune turned scarlet and separated from the other two quickly. Rath and Thatz smiled and grabbed the elf's hands and followed happily.
~~ And Spooner ~~
Marron idly scratched at his ear again as his brother talked with an off shore fisherman about passage to any possible islands to the west. His vague feeling had not focused like he had hoped, but at least the dreams were not as bad. More confusing then anything. A tall man with short black hair and black eyes telling the woman that some thing was taking a turn for the worst. To take Menufus and hide if the need came. But to hide from what? Marron knew that was the important part. If only he could figure it out.
"Hey Marron you okay?" a well-known voice asked breaking him from his thoughts.
"I'm fine Nii-san, just lost in thought," Marron answered focusing on Carrot instead of the ocean, "I'm sorry if I worried you."
"I understand, I mean I would be thinking a lot if I had dreams like yours," the older brother said looking back to the docks, "nobody will give us a lift. They're all afraid of The Squall Wall of something, but they will sell up a junky boat that they were going to scrap anyway," Carrot pointed to a small fishing trawler in dry dock, " Man, what a bunch of cheep skates."
"Did they say how far it was?" Marron said looking the aged timbers. They seamed serviceable.
"They don't know for sure," the shorter young man turned back around and shrugged, "Weird storms would come out of nowhere when you leave sight of the land. According to some old guy it's been like that for forever."
"But how then is this town so prosperous?" Marron asked, "There is only one road leading in and out."
Carrot looked around silks, jewels, and spices were for sale everywhere. The streets were crowded with people dressed like servants dodging bright colored carriages. But only a few boats where in the dock and the road in was lucky to be called that. It was little more than a path. He frowned, "Hey yea," brown eyes hardened seriously, "you don't suppose there could be some wizard here do you?"
Marron shook his head slightly, "I do sense something unusual, but people also seems content. We could look into it though."
Carrot shook his head this time, "If nobody is getting hurt we can save it for later. Right now we have something a lot more interesting to do," Carrot winked at him and said, "We set sail in the morning. You find us an inn for the night while I fix up my slightly used boat."
"You already bought it?" Marron asked slightly startled, he normally handled the money because Carrot tended to spend it on every passing woman. Last the gold eyed youth knew the other had no money.
But Carrot seemed not to have heard him, as the other was already half way to their new acquisition. Blinking Marron turned around to make arrangements at a suitable inn he had seen towards the entrance of town. The magic user wasn't sure why but he felt the need to be away from the smell of humanity.
~~ At the Dragon Capital ~~
Bierrez sat on the railing of the second story taris overlooking the garden thinking. The last thing he had expected in his lifetime was to become a confidant of the Lord of all Dragon kind. It also proved that running anything was more stress then it was worth. Still under the man's rule the demon now dragon felt a bit obliged to help. The blond ruler was definitely a preferred one in this day and age and he trusted him. Well as much as a demon can trust anyway.
As the sun colored the late evening sky he rehashed the full conversation. Perhaps there was something he could do.

The demon had come promptly it was never good to be late rulers were busy people. But it was also important to show independence, he didn't want to be seen as a yes man. So he knocked once, came in and sat before Lykouleon's desk. Making eye contact he said, "Lord Lykouleon?" making sure his head bent ever so slightly. Curtsey was also important.
"Bierrez," the blond's smile brightened from where he was seated behind the desk For a minute he looked a little undecided and apparently settled for, "So how are you doing?" as something to say.
The he had merely looked at his new Lord from under red bangs and wondered what this ruler could want. Then said, "Not bad I guess," and shrugged.
The Dragon Lord nodded, "I can see that. It's always hard to find your place in new surroundings. And I'm sorry but I just might confuse you a little. Would you mind if I talk to you about something a little private?" the Lord asked looking a bit shy.
Without pause, but a healthy dose of confusion he said, "Sure."
With a grateful smile the blond Lord seemed to have a great weight taken off his shoulders. "This is something I would normally tell Alfeegi," he said looking sadly to the side, "I have had an ominous feeling for days now. I know it is something from long ago. It set off every warning bell I have."
Bierrez felt a shiver of dread but put on a brave face, "You already defeated Nadil. I mean that guy was the worst kind of evil around. So what could this be? A lot has happen Lord maybe you are just nervous about the vulnerable state the kingdom could be in."
The ruler shook his head, "I'm well aware of the state my poor land is in. This is far older than the kingdom I fear."
As Lykouleon glanced around apparently trying to find the right words Bierrez asked a question to help solve this weird mystery, "What do you remember?"
The clear blue eyes that the demon watched came unfocused and far away. The voice that came seemed far away as well, "Light the light of peace, then a dark discord. Fighting, so .. very much and sadness for many years."
The duel haired demon looked confused and slightly concerned for the sanity of his sovereign. "No offence but doesn't that sort of describe what has been happening the last few months?" he said uncertainly.
A sad smile curled the Dragon Lord's lips as his attention came to the present, "I really wish it was that simple, but I fear this was only the tip of the iceberg."
"But If it is even half of that what do you expect me to do about it?" he asked getting frustrated, "I don't need to remind you I died in the middle of this little skirmish. That was not fun."
Lykouleon looked slightly surprised, "Well I haven't got a plan yet," but then he smiled, "I was hoping you could help me with one."
Bierrez resisted the urge to put his head in his hands and pointed out, "with just vague feelings and even worse memories you want me to plan some kind of contingence action?"
The blond nodded.

And that had been that. Cesia had barged in demanding something. That didn't really matter and speaking if her. He looked down over the edge hearing her voice and frowned. It looked like she had cornered poor Gill. The little hussy had been after anything male in the Dragon hierarchy since Rath had left. Bringing his feet over the drop to the first floor he slid off and let gravity take hold of him.
With timing and aim that made him deadly he landed neatly on the other side of Gill. Cesia paused mid word to stare and the Fire Dragon Officer blinked looking like he was woken up from a nightmare. Bierrez could sympathize. "Dragon business," he said curtly grabbing Gill's upper arm and walking away.
Apparently shock doesn't quiet Cesia for long, because when they got halfway down the hall she caught up with them asking, "And why can't you tell him in front of me huh? I'm part of the Dragon clan too you know."
He whirled around, "No you're not. You just have a light crystal. You didn't go through the ceremony. You didn't pledge an oath. Hell you didn't even thank his highness when his knights saved your ass from that crotchety old witch. You are here strictly as a guest. So act like it." With that he turned and left feeling oddly satisfied.
~~ Far to the north on Dusis in an yet unnamed castle ~~
A moan traveled down the dusty halls of stone cold as the coming winter. Cobwebs drifted in the tiniest of breezes outside a thick bolted door of iron. The moan sounded again of pain and torment. Inside, steam filled the air of this oddly large room. Candles light the room by the hundreds. In the center of the room in a natural hot spring gently steaming. A moan came from the side. There a tall lean figure laid half in the water as the smaller hands of his companion covered his body.
"Honestly why do you keep doing this to yourself," Garfakcy said pushing harder on a knot of muscle under Kharl's shoulder blade, "Yokai may have stronger bodies then humans but you can still kill yourself with stress."
"But their the only lead I have Garfakcy," the alchemist sighed as the knot came undone.
"So that doesn't mean you have to baby sit them okay?" the younger immortal tried to reason.
"I know that Rath and his little toys will find my master," Kharl's dropped to a near threatening growl, "And we'll be there when they do."
