Disclaimer: I do not own DK.

I am terribly sorry that it is so short, and that It is so late. I'll try to do better once school is out.

Rune looked at the Dragon Lord, a little embarrassed.

"I...uh lost my memory while fighting the fire demon Fedelta. We both fell out of a tree. I was taken to the Demon Castle and retrained. On a trip to retrieve Nadil's head I was taken back by the alchemist Karl, where he turned me into this... monstrosity." Rune said in a rush.

"Well, uh that does explain some things." The Dragon Lord looked uncomfortable. He suddenly blurted out "But that still doesn't explain why you have the lightening dragon. It was destroyed 500 years ago."

Rune looked shocked, as did the other Dragon Tribe members. Destroyed. What could be strong enough to destroy a guardian dragon? The only one seemingly unaffected was Rath.

He had noticed Rune's tail with growing curiosity. It twitched back and forth between Tetheus' legs.

Soon Rath had started to sway with the motion. Before anyone could react, he had... pounced on the tail.

Rune howled as soon as he felt something latch onto his tail. It was uncomfortable and he greatly disliked the feeling.

He struggled leaving poor Tetheus to guess at the reason he was suddenly plopped unceremoniously onto his back.

Thatz, seeing all of this from his corner of the room broke out laughing, and soon Ruwalk and Kaistern had joined him, and Lykoulyon looked like he was trying hard not to smile. The only ones that weren't enjoying the spectacle of Rath chasing Runes tail, and Tetheus trying to stop the room from spinning was, Alfeegi, who ad begun yelling for the masquerade to stop, and, of course, Rune Rath and Tetheus.

"Quiet down." Yelled Alfeegi. Once again, his loud voice made people stop in their tracks. Once everyone had regained their breath, the meeting began again. Except for the fact that Rath had to be tied up from trying to catch Rune's tail.

"We need to know what the alchemist is planning." Said Ruwalk. "It might be dangerous."

Everyone agreed.

After more tiring questions (and a lot of yelling) everyone headed back to their stations.

Rune was let into his room, and Lykoulyon headed back to his chambers.

Everyone was in their positions when a large bang was heard from the room where the conference had taken place.

Alfeegi's yelling could be heard. "Who forgot to untie Rath? And where has he hopped off too."

All of the Dragon Fighters smiled to themselves.

Rath, still tied up, was hopping to Rune's room. He had to bang his head on the wall for knocking but it suited his purposes. Rune opened the door, and untied Rath.

"Thanks, that bag was starting to get stuffy."

"No problem." They stared at each other for a while. Suddenly Rath said, "Can we go outside?"

They climbed out of Rune's window and dropped to the ground. Once the guard had passed, they made their way to the garden.

"I want to show you something." Said Rath. He led Rune to the far corner of the garden where there was... a grave."

I'm sorry that I can't write more. Technically I'm not supposed to be on at all, so be thankful that I was able to write this much.

Eventually I will be able to write more.
