Dragon Knights
"My Quest for You"
By: Drago Guardian Light
Disclaimer: You know, we do the disclaimer every chapter cuz it's fun. We could just say it once throughout the whole thing and not do this again, but then what fun would that be? I mean, after all, everyone loves it when I torture Shuri. : )
Shuri: You mean everyone loves it when I torture you.
DGL: (fiddles with shirt sleeve) Uh huh, sure. Well anyway, needless to say we have no ownership of the Dragon Knights. So you can't sue and we can't get in trouble! Heh heh…
A/N: Whew! I guess the chapter was long enough last time. But I did have fun typing it so I'm not complaining.
Shuri: Yes you are liar.
DGL: …whomp
Shuri: x.X
Famin. Um, you understand I can't answer all of your questions, right? Cuz if I did it'd ruin the story. But as for Cesia, I stand by my earlier point about her. She's annoying often enough as it is and not my favorite character and she only deserves to die half the time. Can't tell you if Shydeman or Nadil love Rune, but I can tell you why Bierrez is so mean…Simply put, that's just the way he is. Just not when it comes to Cesia. Btw, you can't kill me silly! If you did who'd finish the story?
Darkness Falls. (bows) Glad you like it. I update as fast as I can, so here you go! Enjoy.
Noone. lol. If Nadil or Shydeman have to 'hots' for anyone will soon be found out. Until then I hope you enjoy what happens.
Brittani. Why thank you for the nice compliments. I shall continue the story. Hope you stay with it!

"Past, Present, and at the Dragon Castle"
Rune's eyes were heavy, but he managed to open them even if only just a bit. He could barely feel his body; he guessed it had been numbed by something. Unable to move his head he moved his eyes around instead keeping them half concealed under his eyelids. The place he'd been taken to was unfamiliar to him. But the voices speaking in the background were all too familiar…
"Did you capture the Water Dragon Knight?" The first voice belonged to Rath. Rune was sure of it. But it was confusing him. Why was Rath conversing with a demon? Let alone asking them if they'd captured him.
"Yes. We brought him back without difficulty master." The second voice belonged to none other then the despised Shydeman. Did Rath betray him? The idea crushed his heart. Crushed the heart that had gone out to Rath…had even loved Rath.
Rune inwardly sighed. It may not have been the best time in the world, but he figured it was now or never…Admit how he felt about Rath. They had been together for so long; it seemed natural to be feeling this way. He knew Rath cared about him, which was why he kept the secret of him being a demon away from him for so long. Rune guessed it was when he realized he could accept Rath even if he was a demon. His heart seemed filled with happiness when Rath admitted things to him. He loved to see the Fire Dragon Knight smiling. He even liked hearing him complaining when he wouldn't let him take detours in order to go demon slaying. To be perfectly honest with himself, Rune would have to say he loved the Fire Dragon Knight period. No questions asked.
But the sudden turn of events has crushed the heart of the Water Dragon Knight. He just could not believe Rath would betray him. There was just no way. But the voice talking to Shydeman could only belong to him. There was no mistaking it, even if Rath was drunk and his voice was slurred.
"Good. I figured it was about time you had some pleasure of your own my loyal servant." Rath sneered.
Much to his disgust, Rune knew exactly what they were talking about. Why was Rath doing this? Was his love for the Dragon Knight truly one-sided? Rune closed his eyes, feeling hot tears slip out from under his eyelids. He knew they slid down his cheeks even though he couldn't feel them. He heard light footsteps heading toward him but he left his eyes closed. A hand slipped around the back of his head lifting him so far off the place he was laying. He felt Shydeman's hot breath on his face. His stomach twisted with nausea. "I will surely enjoy my gift from Lord Nadil," he rasped. He snickered and wiped Rune's cheeks free of his tears. Rune knew that soon he would be doing much more then just that to him. If only he could escape.
XOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX BEFORE THEN…
Rath watched as Rune fell into Shydeman's arms after Shydeman stabbed his left forearm with a dart. He could feel his minds eyes widen. The backs were smacked with a hot wave. Leave him alone! He screamed. He's done nothing to deserve this! "Do not worry." Nadil assured him. "This is only a precaution. I may be fond of the Water Dragon Knight, but you seem to be in love with him."
Rath swallowed. It was true. Rune was the one person he cared about so much, that he'd fallen for the elf. He couldn't allow anything to happen to him. He'd do anything to save him. But at the moment, he couldn't do anything at all; he felt so helpless. "With this little precaution," Nadil went on. "You'll think twice about fighting against me. My plan will be carried out. You will destroy the Dragon Tribe."
WHAT? Rath shouted. "If you want the elf to live, you'll allow me to take over. As of right now you are too strong for me to control in my present state. Refuse me, and Shydeman will have an endless pleasure mate."
Yeah right! Rath thought. Once he's done you'll either throw him away or give him to Shyrendora! Nadil chuckled. "Shyrendora already has a play-mate. She's quite fond of Saabel and I was growing tiresome of his failures to kill the Dragon Tribe."
Rath growled. What choice did he have? In Nadil's present state he could fight him. Would fight him. Should fight him. But with Rune in his clutches it was too risky. He couldn't cause the elf any more harm then he knew he was already going to be going through. He wouldn't be able to bear it if he did. Point in case he really had no choice but to let Nadil overtake him. Destroying the Dragon Tribe…he only hopped Lykouleon could see this coming. His heart, only hopped Rune would somehow, someday know how he felt about him. Even though it did seem unlikely at the moment. He let his heart wish for Rune's safety before Nadil took over and he was sent into a deep sleep.
XOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX PRESENTLY…
Nadil had done it. He had over taken Rath Illuser's body. And all it took was capturing his precious Water Dragon Knight. It seemed too easy, but as long as Shydeman kept a hold of his new play-mate, his plan would continue without a hassle. Lykouleon won't know what hit him. Because it's Rath attacking them, the Dragon Officers defense will be down, it'll be unexpected. Not only would he get his head back, but he would destroy the Dragon Tribe with the hands of the Dragon Knight they love so much. It would be the sweetest revenge.
XOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOX AT THE DRAGON PALACE…
Even though Lykouleon understood Thatz's situation, Thatz still felt terrible about not being able to help Rath or Rune. Now they were both gone and the Dragon Tribe had no idea where they were. Not only that, but he had to deal with Cesia and her constant questions. "Who were the demons? … I can understand Rath, but what did they want with Rune? … What were Rath and Rune doing locked up in a bedroom in the first place?" Good grief, did he look like he knew the answers? Because if I do, he thought, let me know and I'll know the answers to everything. Cesia was the reason why he'd locked himself inside a closet! She wouldn't leave him the hell alone so he had no choice but to hide from her.
He heard footsteps outside the closet door and stiffened. Of great, she found him. He didn't think she had enough brains to look inside a closet. She probably thought to look into the kitchen. Where I'm starting to wish I did hide, Thatz thought as the footsteps got closer. Being nervous makes me hungry. The closet door creaked open.
"WOULD YOU LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE CESIA?" he shouted before he realized whom he was yelling at. He shrank back into the closet immediately when he found he'd yelled at Lykouleon and Ruwalk. Just his luck. The one place he thought Cesia had followed him to, and he ended up yelling straight into the Dragon Lord's face. Needless to say his gut twisted fiercely. "Um, I can…explain," he stuttered.
Lykouleon blinked before smiling. "That's okay Thatz," he told him. "Cesia's been going around the castle looking for you."
"I'm actually surprised she hasn't tried looking in a closet," said Ruwalk.
Thatz chuckled a bit nervously. "Heh, heh. I don't think she's that smart," he joked.
Lykouleon and Ruwalk both laughed for a second. Remembering the business at hand Lykouleon explained to Thatz that he and Ruwalk were organizing search parties for Rath and Rune in order to find them and that he was more the welcome to help if he wanted to. "Hmm…You know what?" Thatz told them. "I think I have a better idea." Ruwalk and Lykouleon leaned in to listen as he whispered. "In all seriousness, why don't we just use Cesia as bait? Since Nadil wants her on his team so badly, we can use her to lure him out. And if we're lucky, he'll take her but without getting any power boost."
Lykouleon considered the idea. Well, except for the last part. Cesia was a powerful psychic and they needed her psychic prowess. Maybe they could use that to their advantage. Cesia could use her powers to find Rath and Rune. "On second thought Thatz," Lykouleon said looking from Thatz to Ruwalk. Ruwalk nodded. He was thinking the same thing. "I have a better idea."
"And here I was hoping to finally get rid of that woman." Thatz grumbled.
"THATZ!"
Thatz jumped a good three feet in the air in the closet doorway. Oh great…"There you are!" Cesia exclaimed running down the hall toward him. Lykouleon and Ruwalk stepped back to the opposite side of the hall, making sure not to get in their way. Thatz screamed and ran off down the hall as fast as his feet could carry him. "Thatz wait!" Cesia shouted. "I just wanna ask you a question!"
"NEEEEEVVVVEEEEEERRRR!" Thatz bellowed over his shoulder.
A/N: Well this wasn't so much a cliffhanger was it? Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter as much as I enjoy typing it! XD I'll start on chapter six A.S.A.P. Until then!
