I'm back! All shall fear me! Muwhahahahahaha Ok, yes, I know, I'm a little crazy right now. Oh well, it's good to be insane.
NOTE: Rune is six years old and the Water Dragon is a stuffed animal. Kind of ironic, isn't it?
A Different Life Chapter 2
"Rune?" Lykouleon asked as he dropped his pen in shock.
"Yes, it's him alright," Alfeegi said.
flashback
Alfeegi looked down at the child in shock. 'It couldn't be, could it?' he thought.
"I know you, mister," the child said. "I remember you from somewhere."
This was crazy. The kid looked too much like Rune for it not to be him. Not to mention that he had a stuffed animal that looked exactly like the Water Dragon. And if he wasn't sure before, he was defiantly sure now. After all, the kid said he knew him and his blue eyes held no hint of a lie.
"What's your name?" Alfeegi asked kindly.
Before the child could answer someone yelled out, "Rune? Rune where are you?"
The child, Rune, spun around, and then very quickly he turned back to Alfeegi. "Sorry Alfeegi. Miss Rose will get mad at me if she can't find me."
But, before Rune could walk away, the woman, Miss Rose, ran up. "Oh, thank goodness your safe," she said hugging Rune to her. "What were you thinking?"
"I just wanted to see Alfeegi again," Rune said innocently.
"Alfeegi? Who's Alfeegi?"
"That would be me," Alfeegi spoke up.
"And do you know little Rune, or are you someone who just threatened him to say he knows you?"
"No Miss Rose!" Rune said before Alfeegi. "Alfeegi's my friend! I remember him!"
Miss Rose looked down at Rune with a kind smile and sighed. "Alright, if you're sure you know him."
"I'm sure!" Rune said happily.
Miss Rose stood up and looked at Alfeegi. "If you want you can come visit sometime," she said kindly.
"There's one problem with that."
"And that would be?"
"I wouldn't know where to look for him. You see, I've been looking for him for a while now."
Miss Rose just smiled again and shook her head. "You'll find him at the orphanage just down the street."
"Orphanage?"
"Yes. Rune's our newest arrival. We found him wondering the streets a few days ago. He didn't seem to remember anything from his past, so we took him back to the orphanage."
"I see," Alfeegi said. "Would it be possible for me to adopt Rune?"
"I don't see why not." Miss Rose now had a huge smile on her face. "Why don't you come back to the orphanage with us?"

"So you adopted him?" Lykouleon questioned.
"Yes. What else was there that I could do."
Lykouleon just shook his head. "But," Lykouleon looked up as Alfeegi continued, "there was some problem getting him."
"What problem?"
"There seemed to be another couple that wanted him, but since Rune said he knew me I was aloud to adopt him."
"Do you know who the other couple was?"
Alfeegi just shook his head. "Why do you ask anyways?"
"Because Nadil followed us here," Lykouleon said sadly.
"Why do we have to do this?" Shyrendora asked.
"Because if we get a hold of a dragon knight before their memories are reawakened then we can control them," Shydeman answered her.
"I know that. I meant why do we have to pretend to be a couple. Couldn't we just kidnap the brat?"
"They would look for him then, and it would raise too many questions. Now let's go."
Shydeman and Shyrendora had been ordered to act like a couple and adopt the dragon knight that had been located in a nearby orphanage. As of right now, they were standing outside the orphanage and Shyrendora felt like she would rather blow the place to hell than walk into it.
An hour later
"I'm sorry, but there's another man that's already going to adopt that child," said the woman Shydeman and Shyrendora had meet with.
Shydeman and Shyrendora had located Rune, but the problem was, Alfeegi had as well. "We shall go then," he said.
"Oh, all right," the woman said.
Tetheus and Kai-Stern were going to pick up a few things for Lykouleon when they heard something that made them stop.
"Thatz! Give me back Fire, Thatz!"
"Then you give me back Earth, Rath!"
"It couldn't be, could it?" Kai-Stern asked Tetheus.
All the sudden the two arguing children ran passed then. "It has to be. They look to much like Thatz and Rath not to be the," Tetheus said
"And they have stuffed animals that look like the Fire and Earth Dragons." Kai-Stern added. "But, their kids. They look like they're only six years old."
Tetheus was just silent.
So Rath and Thatz are little kids too!
Next Chapter: Kai-Stern and Tetheus take Rath and Thatz back to the dragons where they are reunited with Rune. But, Nadil is also in the future and out to control the knights. So, what happens when he gats his hands on one of them?
