Chapter 1

Drizzt lay in his bed, feeling the hard frame in his back. It had been years since he had last been at Mithril Hall but he remembered it as if it were yesterday. Unfortunately. It was all too painful, but it came back to him every night. Cattie-brie's shining face. He still couldn't believe what had happened over a short amount of time. His mind drifted back to that awful day. He thought he knew why they did it. He and Cattie-brie had grown apart over time, but he didn't know why. He hadn't ever thought though, that Cattie-brie would have done that to him. He had found Wulfgar and Cattie-brie together in her bed when he had come back unexpectedly soon from a trip he had taken with Innovindel. Bruenor and Regis hadn't known. He had been crushed. That's when it all started.

Flashback

He had to leave. He had to get away from them. Regis and Bruenor would come with him no matter what. He knew that, but took no joy in it. He would rather be alone.

He packed his things and the three left quickly. They didn't say goodbye.

They had traveled a few days still not knowing where they were headed. Drizzt had barely said a word unless asked a direct question. Even then he would give a one word answer. His friends could tell he wasn't sleeping. He was distant. They were camped in a forest. Regis was cooking. They ate together, but there was no conversation. With nothing else to do, Regis and Bruenor went to their tents after a while, but Drizzt couldn't sleep. He wandered out into the forest. He had gone farther in then he had intended to, but knew he could find his way back. He became alert when he saw a dark shadow pass in front of him. He could sense there was more than one. Damn! He should have been paying attention. He didn't show that he knew someone was following him. A rustle in the brush behind him made him whirl around and draw his scimitars, but the shadow was quicker. With surprising strength, the figure pinned him down. He could feel its hot breath on his neck.

"We finally found you." Whispered the shadow and that was the last thing Drizzt heard before he felt the fangs sink into his neck.
