Rune's training began with fervor. It seemed that he had retained his memory on how to fight, and other aspects, but he couldn't remember his past. It also seemed that he had a talent for sword fighting, only, as an elf he had never learned how, and as a Dragon he had had no time to learn. He had been restricted, by his beliefs.
Nothing held him back now. He learned quickly, taking the techniques further than the demons had thought possible. He soon exceeded the best swordfighter in the demon ranks, and new teachers had to be found. (Meaning kidnapped and threatened.)
Of course, he didn't only learn sword fighting. He also was taught hand to hand combat and a deep hatred of the Dragon tribe.
Had any of the Dragon Tribe seen him they would not have recognized him. He was laid back and laughed a lot more. He had only been with the demons a week and yet he seemed happier. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Karl the Alchemist kept watch on the boy's progress. Soon the time would come for taking the boy under his wing where, he would be taught magic. Karl could sense the potential in the young dragon. Of course, there were some minor problems that he had to fix, but they were easily taken care of. Such as the small fairy that had gone to warn the Dragon Tribe. Karl had spelled him so that he couldn't tell the dragons his message.
Karl also made some appearances to Rune. He had informed the boy that he would soon be coming to study under him. Rune had seemed apprehensive but agreed nonetheless. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rune trained hard. When he wasn't fighting he was being told how horrible the Dragon Tribe was. How they had stolen the throne from it's rightful ruler, the all powerful Nadil.
In the small amount of time, of a week, Rune had come to despise the Dragon Tribe with a passion. He wanted nothing more than their heads on a pike. The demons were very pleased with him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the other hand the Dragon Tribe was getting worried. Rune had never stayed away longer than 3 days except when he was on a mission. And that was only because Thatz and Rath dragged him around half of Draqueen before he could get them home.
Rath especially was feeling guilty. He hoped that something hadn't happened to Rune. After all, it had been his fault, that Rune had left. If Rune had somehow been injured or killed, Rath would never forgive himself.
Even Lykoulyon the Dragon Lord was feeling stressed that Rune hadn't come back. And the little elf, was a cause of worry as well. Whenever Rune was mentioned he would start to look frantic, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't speak. ~~~~~~~~~~~
Karl decided that enough time had passed. He needed the boy for the merging. No one else would be able to withstand it. But he couldn't just go take the boy, oh no. he needed an excuse to do so.
His excuse came the next day when the demons planned a raid on the Dragon Tribe. Since Rune was the only one among them who could enter the castle, he would retrieve Nadil's head while the demons caused an uproar outside the gates. It would be enough to keep the Dragon Tribe busy while Rune retrieved the head.
Karl would snatch the boy when there was total chaos. When the merging was complete Karl would have a pet that was completely loyal to him.
The merging was a delicate process. The victim and animal had to be selected with care, else both would die in the progress or come out horribly deformed. Karl thought of his other tries and winced. They weren't . well, they weren't what he needed. But this time he would succeed. This time his victim would be. well.perfect. That much was assured.
Karl looked over at the lithe creature sleeping in a nearby cage.
"Yes, this time it will be perfect."
