Chapter: 4:

Alanna was furious that Numair had brought Kaldron along with the company. Since Kaldron was with them the villagers wanted nothing to do with anyone of the group, so the company had ended up staying in the caves off a path exiting Snowsdale.

"The king will be angrier then I am!" whispered Alanna harshly.

"No he won't Alanna, if I can train him, he could fight for the king," said Numair.

"And what makes you think he will listen to you?" asked Alanna.

"He will," and Numair walked away.

Alanna signed and rubbed her forehead. The Queen's riders were cautious of Kaldron, even the King's Own men were afraid of him, and they were mages as well. The only ones not affected by his essence were Numair and Daine. To the others of the company, Kaldron was just creepy. The way he ate or even slept seemed out of the ordinary; seemed weird. Alanna knew something was wrong with this boy, not just his power, but his soul. He was more mysterious and dark then anyone she had ever seen.

Numair had sat down next to his new pupil, "Are you ready to begin lesson one?"

Kaldron nodded, "Yes, I've been bored."

Numair had also gotten a book out of one of his packs; he now skimmed through the pages, after a moment he showed a page to Kaldron, "Do you know who this is?"

On the page was a drawing of a Forgotten Goddess, her name was Dance of the Stars, she had used to govern the night and the planets. Legend said that she had been banished for committing a sin; that of mating with one of the lesser gods. The god she had mated with was the Phantom of Dreams. It's said that she was banished to a lost star, never to be found and her lover and child were killed; the Goddess was overwhelmed with sadness and trapped alone on a star, she killed herself.

Kaldron shook his head, "A goddess?"

Numair nodded, "Yes, it's said that she died. Though gods and goddess do not truly die do they? If that is so, then she and her lover are still alive. And so is her child."

Kaldron looked at the picture amazed, "You don't think, that I am the child do you?"

Numair rubbed his chin, "Possibly. But the guess is based on your power. You can enter dreams but what else?"

"I can create a supernova and fire comets out of my hands, I mastered that when I was seven years old. I can create an aura around myself, sort of like self made armor."

Numair stared at him, "Supernova's?"

Kaldron nodded. Numair closed his book, "Well you have their gifs, but I cannot say if they are your parents or how Veralidaine fits in."

Kaldron signed, "Night will fall soon. Is everyone here?"

Numair nodded, "Yes, why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering," he said, then a thought, "Numiar, who is that woman in the corner? She has not spoken to me yet."

Numair's forehead broke out in sweat, "That is the Wildmage. She is not of your concern."

Kaldron stood up, "I am trying to make friends, so she is a concern." And he began to walk toward her.

Numair jumped up and went to wake Alanna.

Kaldron sat down next to the Wildmage, "Miss? I am Kaldron and who are you?"

The Wildmage's face was blocked by her light brown curls and in her lap Kaldron noticed an injured rabbit sat there. Her hands were holding him gently, and not but five seconds later her hopped away and out of the cave.

Kaldron was impressed; he could not heal things, "Wildmage? Is your power to heal?"

Her head moved slightly, "I found that rabbit half eaten, barley clinging to life. It has taken me hours to cure him, I gave him knowledge too, enough to know that deep dark holes are not welcoming."

"So your power is to heal and to pass knowledge?" asked Kaldron.

"No, it is that of the People or animals, it's called Wild Magic. You will learn that in your studies young novice," said the Wildmage.

Kaldron shrugged, "You still have not told me who you are."

She looked up and smiled, "My name is Daine, and I am married to Master Numair. Nice to meet you Kaldron."

Kaldron turned pale, "Your- your Veralidaine. I- I don't believe it!"

He reached out to touch her face, and Daine moved away, "Are you alright Kaldron?" she asked.

Kaldron dropped his arm back at his side and turned and faced Numair eye to eye, "You lied to me! You knew all along!"

Numair shouted back, "I was protecting my wife. I had no notion of what you were going to do!"

Kaldron closed his eyes, "Numair, I will not harm you for Veralidaine's sake. But I will leave now, perhaps now that I have seen her I will discover my past for myself."

No more words said Kaldron walked out of the cave and the company made no move to call him back.
