The dragon lord glared half-heartedly at Alfeggi as the officer gave another boring report on how badly things were going.
" It seems that Herosa, Chantel, and the small village of Ceret are all under siege by demon forces. They are being led by Shyrendora, and Fedelta, and we are still looking into the disappearance of the black dragon officer. We aren't sure what happened, but we've sent many search teams out, just as you requested. On the subject of Rath, it's been over a month since anyone has seen him, and even Crewger is feeling down. We don't know if we should keep searching for Rath, or not. It seems-"
Lykouleon cut him off, "It seems that we should be searching harder, we need the both the Dragon Knights and the Dragon Officer's ranks completed." He then lowered his head, and spoke a little more quietly, "Nadil has been revived, I can feel his demon energy, it's so close, but I can't pin point the exact location. Everyone should be on their guard, we cannot afford to loose anyone else."
"Yes, two of the yokai of this castle are now under Nadil's control." Cesia said, as she stood up from her seat. She then proceeded to look around the room, her eyes soaring over the remaining Dragon officers, the Dragon King, Thatz, finally to rest on Rune.
"You can feel it as well? The demon energy is near, Nadil has grown stronger than before.... Rune, will you help me? I need someone with knowledge of the forest that is between the Water Realm and the Ice Realm. Please, if we are to have any sort of weapon that can stop Nadil, then we will need a plant from that region. I know the Water Realm was your home so I thought that you would be of help." Cesia said as she walked over to Rune and looked at him pleadingly.
Rune looked back at Cesia with shocked eyes, he was surprised to be singled out by the yokai fortuneteller.
"All right, I'll accompany you to Mirate Forest. It is what lies between the two Realms, but Cesia, what sort of plant do we need?" Rune asked, his eyes narrowed at Cesia. The Mirate Forest was very dangerous, and also very unsafe, with all the ice that had accumulated over the years. Rune was suspicious about any sort of life forms living in that particular forest.
Cesia lowered her eyes, and looked at the ground, "It's a plant, I'll know it when I see it." She whispered.
"Rune! Go with her, and here, take this." Lykouleon said, then he walked over to a chest and took out a dark blue stone. He handed it to Rune, who looked surprised.
"This gem will help you absorb more power. With this gem Water will be able to absorb all the ice that touches you, thus, enabling you to be safe on your journey. Wear it as you cross Mirate's river, it will protect you." He said, his eyes and tone of voice serious.
"T-thank you highness." Rune stammered.
Rath Illuser sighed as he left his room, and walked quickly to another chamber. He had been plagued by nightmares for the last few days, and needed to correct his mistakes. He then stood in front of a tall, metal door, his hand resting on the knob, clenching and unclenching as he battled with his emotions.
"Guess I'll just face it..." He said, his voice strained, and quiet. He then turned the knob and opened the door. Inside was a stone cavern, with chains hanging from the walls. Rath had just opened the door to the dungeons, Nadil's version of a dungeon, complete with torturing rack.
He frowned when he saw the black dragon officer crouched in a corner, trying to pull of his chains.
"Your going to hurt yourself if you keep that up!" Rath said, his voice penetrating into the captive officer's mind.
"What are you doing here? How dare you be the one to do this!" Tetheus screamed, his face covered in shadows, and dried blood.
Rath took a step back in shock. "Come here to do what?!" He wondered.
"To break him piece by piece!" Said a voice from behind Rath.
Rath quickly turned around, his eyes narrowing.
"I think the traitor got me mistaken for some other, namely you. How pitiful he is, trying to be so stubborn, but with my favorite tools I'll guarantee that he won't last long!" Said the yokai happily.
"The torturer..." Rath said through clenched teeth.
"That's me!" Said the yokai, who had a whip draped across his back, swords, pikes, and sharp items strapped across his chest. He also sported half a tail that had been ripped off in battle, and he was missing one eye.
"Leave him alone!" Rath yelled, summoning his sword into his hands.
The torturer looked surprised, then hastily branished a sharp sword. With his other hand, he threw a dagger at Rath, which narrowly missed since Rath had dodged out of the way, then lunged at the yokai with his weapon. One clean swipe quickly disposed of the torturer, and then Rath smirked, and turned around to face Tetheus.
The officer in question stared back at Rath, his surprised look disappearing only seconds before Rath turned around. "Your not on their side, are you?" He asked, his voice a little hoarse.
Rath shook his head, then said, "I never have been, but they have someone important to me held hostage. If I destroy Nadil, she dies and he somehow will live."
For a moment Tetheus said nothing, "So they have you trapped."
"Yes... I don't know how to reverse it." Rath whispered, his eyes looking towards anyway but Tetheus.
"But there has to be a way!" Tetheus replied, he then pulled his arms and tried to escape his chains. Rath then noticed, and used his fire magic to burn the chains away.
"Did you get burned?" He asked, concern in his voice.
Tetheus shook his head, then slowly stood up, and looked down at Rath.
"Show me the way out of here." He said.
