*8 years later*

Ray slowly walked to the Seers tent 'Why does he want to see me?' he thought. He made his way to the tent and stood at the entrance. "Hello?" he called in.

"Ah, yes Ray! Do come in!" Said an eerie, crackled voice.

Ray jumped at the suddenness of the voice. "Oh um, hi Velis" He said as he walked in. He suddenly had a chill run down his back. He never did like going into the Seers tent

"So today you are officially 18. Hmm "She muttered. She stared at him with her unseeing eyes. She was blind. That's why she claimed she could see what was going on in the world. "Are you ready for the Flamedance ceremony?"

Ray sighed. He knew he had to do the Flamedance; it was so he could now guide the tribe. "I believe so Velis, but is that the only reason you called me?"

The old woman sighed as well "No...that's not the only reason I called you in something is wrong in the world"

Ray quirked an eyebrow. This old woman was always trying to make things dramatic it made him worry 'How many times has she told me this? Like 48?'

The woman crossed the tent; Ray's eyes followed her. The old woman was looking at some dead animal parts that were pickled in a jar. Ray had to look away so he wouldn't throw up. She finally found what she was looking for, although Ray wondered how she could find things if she was blind. Velis walked to a small crystal ball.

"Ray come closer" She said pulling out a chicken foot on a wire out of a bottle. Ray moaned at the sight of the foot. "Do not be afraid," She said

Ray came closer. "Let me see your palm" Ray nodded and lifted up his hand

The woman ran her fingers over his hand. "Your fingers are callused, I'm guessing that's from the fires?" Ray nodded again. The woman the dragged the foot over his hand and pressed hard till it drew blood. Ray only flinched for a second.
"Now pick up the Crystal ball," she said as blood gushed from his hand.

Ray picked up the ball and gasped when his blood engulfed the entire artifact. Then woman began to chant. "Hetis beru felis ketsa" The crystal ball tugged itself out of Ray's hand and began to hang in midair.

The room shined then went dark.

Ray stood wondering what was going on. And gasped when he saw a tall towering man stand among millions of soldiers. The man laughed.

"It is time to fight back! Being held in darkness for 150 years! We will no longer be treated as monsters that go bump in the night! We shall kill all FlameDancers and Sunbringers! They are the ones who held us here! Now we shall hold them against their alternet Element! Who is with me?"

Thousands of them cheered. 'Hold us against our alternet elements? What is he talking about?' thought Ray. Suddenly he felt a pull in his stomach and felt like his soul was yanked from his body

Ray opened his eyes slowly and noticed he was lying on the ground. He lifted his arm but it fell to the ground "Why does my body feel like I haven't used it in years?" Ray said and noticed his voice was raspy like he hadn't spoke in a while.

"Normal side affects," said Velis handing him a water bottle. Ray ran his tongue over his lips. They were dry too. "Now, what did you see?" she asked taking a seat on a puffy chair.

Ray then explained to her what he saw and heard. Velis looked gave a worried look.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ray walked back inside his tent wrapping a cloth over his bloody hand.

Darkfire was in the middle of the tent mediating hovering about 2 feet above the ground. Ray smiled it was funny seeing a serious look on her face. Although he felt a tinge jealous that she didn't age. 'Immortals' he thought

Ray walked slowly behind her and leaned forward till his mouth reached her ear. "Darkfire!" he whispered, "Your charge is dead! You are eliminated!"

Darkfire's eyes shot open and she fell to the ground with a loud thump. She whirled around and glared at Ray "Why you little!" she yelled and lunged at the laughing teen.

Ray gave out a soft cry of help before she slammed into him.

Darkfire pulled Ray close and tickled his sides. She had known about his tickle spots ever since he was born, that's how she got him to go to sleep at nights when he was a baby, but since he was no longer a child she felt she needed to tickle him to remind him who was boss.

Ray was laughing so hard he couldn't breath "o...o...okay! Darkfire I'll stop!"

Darkfire stopped "You better or I'll leave you to the jackals next time you decide you want to go for a late night walk" It was a long story (but I'll tell it anyway!)

*Ray had decided he needed some fresh air so he went out and took a walk. Darkfire noticed he was gone and went to go look for him. She found him surrounded by Jackals to many for him to fight. Darkfire had to burn them all just to get to Ray who had been bitten at. Nothing serious but made him think twice about late night walks*

The Neko-jin shrugged "I told you it was an accident" He said sitting down.

"So when do you get to do the Flamedance?" Asked Darkfire sitting down as well "Because that means you'll need a mate soon and I'm not going to find...it" she said pushing him over.

Ray sighed. Darkfire was just like a big sister only she was like 1614 years older. "I don't know what I want yet" He said "Did you ever have to find mates for your earlier charges?"

Darkfire nodded "Oh yeah, most of them never wanted a mate so they ran away and I always had to find them. Do not be like one of them!" she said pushing him over again.

Ray smiled when she pushed him over "The Flamedance is probably going to be tomorrow. He said examining his wrapped hand with blood soaking through

Darkfire said nothing and placed her hand over his watching a bright light illuminate the room. Ray pulled his hand back and the wound was cleaned and gone with a small punk scar.

Hey where is...?" Ray was suddenly pounced on by a giant white tiger "Oh! There you are Driger." He said as the Tiger bathed him in licks "Okay, okay! Driger get off" He said laughing but took in a sharp breath when Driger tired to stand on him "Dr...ger...I...can't...breath"

Darkfire was laughing but guided Driger off of Ray.

Ray was rubbing his chest taking in labored breaths of air. "Driger you can't do that anymore you're not a cub anymore." Driger let out a small moan but gave Ray one last lick.

"Hey you're the only one who would take him in when he was a cub, I think he's still grateful," said a pink hair teen that walked into Rays tent.

"Oh...Hi Mariah" said Ray as Mariah sat down on a fluffy pillow.

Darkfire growled when she walked in. Mariah was sweet and all but she was trying to take Ray even though her mate was already Lee.

Mariah gave Darkfire a mean look while Ray had his back turned. Mariah always hated her because Darkfire told Lee that she was 'trying' to get Ray

Darkfire returned the look with a crude gesture of the index finger.

Mariah's eyes slit into Tiger-eyes

Darkfire produced a black fireball that gave the room a strange glow and threatened to throw it at her no questions asked.

Ray had no idea what was going on

Mariah stopped. She knew what that fireball could do.

Ray had to clear his throat to get the females attention

"So Ray," said Mariah standing up and walking close to Ray, knowing Darkfire's eyes were following her "I heard your Flamedance was going to happen soon...if you want help...you know I can" She said grabbing his hand and pulling him up.

"That's all right Mariah," He said standing up

Darkfire chuckled 'Way to go Ray!' she thought

Mariah paid no attention to Darkfire. She started to hum a song. Rays head fell limp

Darkfire quirked an eyebrow 'what the...?'

Rays head steadied "Mariah...you are my only one" he murmured

Darkfire's eyes shot open "What the hell? Are you charming him?" She stood up and ran to Ray pushing Mariah over, not paying attention to her screech

Rays gold eyes were blank. "Mariah...I lo..."

Darkfire had no choice...She slapped him before he could finish the 'horrible' sentence"

Ray blinked several times and grabbed his cheek "owww...Darkfire...why did you do that?" He looked at Mariah who was on the floor. "Damn...I vowed I would never fall for that again..."

Darkfire growled at Mariah

Mariah was pushed *No let me rephrase that* Flung out of the tent.

"DON'T YOU WORRY I WILL HAVE RAY!!" she screamed

Darkfire peeked her head out of the flaps of the tent "First of all YOU HAVE A MATE! Second Charming is only used when in TROUBLE! Thirdly" Darkfire took a breath "Lee's standing behind you" she finished pulling her head back into the tent.

Mariah whirled around. She was right Lee was standing behind her. She gulped and stared at the look on Lee's poor face "Lee...I...."

Lee shook his head "I didn't want to believe Darkfire...but I guess it's true...My wife is a traitor to her husband who tries to be loyal, loving, supplying...tell me Mariah...what am I doing wrong? Why do you want Ray that much?" Lee gave her a look that would kill any guilty wife's soul. And he walked away.

Ray sighed when he heard what was going on outside. "I hope I get a loyal mate," he said with Darkfire nodding her head

"I hope you do too"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Mahogany eyes followed a coffin that was being carried to an alter.

Kai sighed. Not that he cared his mother committed suicide it was annoying hearing people talk about his mothers death

"It's so depressing when I heard what she did, but everyone said she kept hearing a voice. She claimed it was her dead twin sister who was blaming her for her death. You think about it, it's kind of scary she never had a moment of peace since the voices began. But it lasted for 8 years and she never spent any time with her son."

Kai turned his head "If you two will stop talking the ceremony has begun" She snapped at him. Ever since Ray left he completely turned from 'Sweet loving boy' to 'Prince of cold hearted, uncaring, Brat'

The two girls stopped chattering. And the ceremony began.

'I can't stand this' Kai thought 'It's giving me a headache' He stood up and walked out of the large Cathedral.

Kai's Guardian Azurefire looked at him then followed. She was a young teen with wavy black shoulder-blade length hair that was tipped with blue. Her metallic blue eyes followed him out.

"What's wrong Kai?" she asked when leaned against a pillar outside the Cathedral. She walked to the other side of him

"I don't belong in a room full of mourners. Besides what kind of son am I who doesn't cry at his own mothers funeral?" he said Azurefire was the only one he could talk to as a friend.

"If you don't mind my opinion." She said looking at Kai "She wasn't much of a mother anyway, besides...she was the one who cast Ray out of the city anyway, she also was a constant drunk" She studied Kai with her gentle eyes "I may not have words of wisdom but I can give you words of a friend"

He smirked as she gave him a hug "I guess your right," He looked at her "Why are you guardians so close to your charges anyway?"

"Because we raise you when you are babies and we stand by you till your gone. We tend to grow attached ."

Kai smirked "don't grow to attached."

"I won't and I can't, the age difference would screw up everyone." She looked around "You now that I think about it...why aren't the girl crawling all over you?" She said looking around

He looked away "I don't want to be around a bunch of girls screaming"

"Ah, a lady killer. I see how it is. Blow 'em off and they just want more"

Kai growled, "It's not like that"

Azurefire looked at him and sighed, "I guess so. You know Kai you wouldn't be this way if you just went and decided to see Ray, I mean I've never see him but with all your constant dreams about you as a child with a another little boy..."

"You tapped into my dreams?!" Kai said eyes widening

"You were moaning and turning calling out 'Ray I'm sorry!' I had to check," She said shrugging

"Yeah but still..." he said calming down.

"Shush I'm not finished yet. The boy I saw was quite a cutie meaning now. Whoo he would be the hottie wouldn't he?"

Kai blushed "I wouldn't know" He said looking down

"I that so?" Azurefire said flipping a strand of black-blue hair over her shoulder "That's why I found a seeing crystal in your room."

Kai's eyes shot open once more "How did you? Never mind, I only got a glimpse of him..."

Azurefire smiled "Yeah" She grinned so wide Kai had to wonder

'What can she be thinking now?'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
