The expanse under the Dragon Castle which Nadil resided in was getting bigger and bigger by the minute. The area was dark and damp, and Rath was tempted to find a way to torch it all.
The dragon knight of fire moved lazily through the dark passages and looked each way in every intersection. He did not want to be caught.
As Rath moved on he heard voices from a nearby room and went to eavesdrop.
Inside the dark room was the yokai king himself, Shyrendora and a struggling Black Dragon Officer.
Rath's eyes widened when he heard what was being said.
"Let go." Tetheus said calmly as he tried to break out from his bonds. His arms were tied up, and the only reason he had been caught was because he was unaware that the armory led down so close to the intruders.
His eyes narrowed as he looked up at the yokai king with hatred.
"Now now, I don't like that too much, maybe we'd better torture him a while longer." Said Nadil coldly as he patted the head of someone who was just out of Rath's line of sight.
"I don't care what you do! I am loyal to his highness, and will not betray lord Lykouleon!" Tetheus said, sounding lethal with anger.
Rath felt his legs give out when he saw the proud dragon officer. Tetheus was obviously hurt, his eyes were almost swollen shut and his clothes looked dirty and blood stained. To Rath it was evident that he had already been through enough torture.
Nadil then restarted his interrogation of the dragon officer and asked, "So, not even the trained fighter suspected anything to be amiss in his own place of security, how very good. Things are starting to be much easier than expected, especially since I already have control of a certain dragon knight.
Tetheus' head shot up in surprise and he had to bite back a scathing remark that was very likely to be his last if spoken aloud.
"What do you mean?" He instead asked, as he glared at the smiling Nadil.
"Rath! I think it's time you stopped listening in, or would you rather risk me ending the misery of your favorite head of security." Nadil said as he looked over to the doorway and sent a shiver down Rath's spine.
The dragon knight in question slowly rose and stepped into the doorway, as he wasn't sure enough to come in.
The sight of Rath just standing there made Tetheus feel numb and angry all at the same time. "Rath, why are you here? Everyone's been looking, everyone's worried, and your here!" He yelled, causing Rath to take a startled step back.
"Yes, he's here to help me." Nadil said as Rath narrowed his eyes. He knew now that if he spoke out and said otherwise he might never see his sister again.
Nadil's eyes then quietly slid over to the shocked Tetheus who looked at Rath with unsurpassed hatred. "How could you do this." He stated quietly and his eye's bore into Rath's.
Rath only numbly shook his head then quickly fled the room feeling like he'd never be worthy of their trust again.
As Rath stood in the small room he had been assigned, he quickly crossed the floor and half sat on the blood red bed.
How could this happen, he thought as he laid down.
I wanted to hate them, I used to hate them, all of them. The dragon lord, Thatz, and the dragon officers, I couldn't stand them to worry about me. Now I've lost it, their trust. All I'll ever be to them is some worthless demon, a bad memory. They'll never believe that I actually had a reason, I'll never have a place in their hearts again.... No matter what becomes of me, they'll never care. He thought as he laid looking at the rocky ceiling.
"And this..." He said, pulling the light dragon amulet from under his shirt, "What use is it now. I'll still recognize her his I pull it off and never see it again."
He then trembled as his grip on the object made it near it's breaking point, and said, "I've lost them all..... Even the only person who'd always care, no matter who or what I've become. The yokai will pay for this, even if it takes me with them!" He said, promising to himself to come out on top, even if it meant he wouldn't come out at all.
