He was floating in darkness.

Just darkness.

Nothing was around him.

Just black.

It was cold.

There was nothing there to comfort him.

His eyes wandered in fear, but he couldn't see anything.

He suddenly felt a cold hand grab him and touch his body.

He was slammed into something invisible and he was mercilessly touched and kissed.

His breath came in gasps and he tried to pull away.

A pain stabbed in his body, like fire.

Pounding, harder and faster with each moment.

"Get away from me!"

Then it disappeared, he felt nothing there.

He was alone again.

He sighed and closed his eyes.

He cried out when he heard an agonized scream, but he realized it was his own voice.

The sound was of unspeakable pain, unlike anything he had heard before.

He clamped his hands desperately over his ears to drown out the screech.

The scream continued and got louder.

Stop.

Stop!

"STOP!"

Dark Magician was sitting straight up in his bed. He was panting and sweat dripped off his body.

"Dark Magician are you alright?" Celtic Guardian asked, concerned and ran through the door over to the spellcaster's bed.

"I- I'm fine- just a nightmare, that's all..." Dark Magician gasped. The scream still echoed in his head. He ran his shaking hands through his purple hair.

"Are you sure? You are very pale. I can get you something if you-"

"No, Celtic Guardian I'm fine, really. I was just... frightened that's all," Dark Magician said. "Do you want to talk about the dream?" Celtic Guardian sat on the bed. Dark Magician looked at him, "No..." he whispered, "I'm sorry but- it's not something I want to discuss-"

"Oh, well..." Celtic Guardian got up. "It's ok, I guess it's one of those things that you'd rather not relive, huh?" he smiled, but Dark Magician could tell he felt hurt a bit.

"Celtic Guardian-"

"No it's fine I'll be downstairs, call me if you need anything," Celtic Guardian walked out the door and down the stairs.

Dark Magician looked down at the floor. He thought for a moment and got up. His wounds were healing nicely, he noticed. He smiled and put on a shirt and changed his pants.

The spellcaster limped a little when he walked. He growled in anger and pain, and tried to walk right.

Dark Magician went downstairs and saw Celtic Guardian sitting in the chair in the living room, reading a book. "Celtic Guardian?" he asked. The elf looked up and put the book open on the page he had left off. "I'm happy your walking." he smiled. "So am I," Dark Magician replied.

"Dark Magician about the dream I'm sorry I got like that, it's just, I've been under a lot of stress lately, worrying about you. I'm sorry if a came off too upset," Celtic Guardian stood and looked at the spellcaster.

"It's alright there's no need to be sorry, I know what your going through. Remember when Dark Magician Girl first became my apprentice and she kept getting spells wrong? I was always worried about her. 'Would she ever get magic right?' I wondered. And sure enough she got them with a bit of practice. You just have to give me some time so I can get in that practice and stop being so clumsy all the time," Dark Magician winked.

Celtic Guardian gasped, "That's your first attempt at a wink! Now I'm really worried!"

The two friends both laughed and sat on the couch.

"Celtic Guardian what would I do without you?"

"What?"

"You always make me smile, that makes me feel complete, knowing that I will have someone to smile and laugh with. I don't think I will ever meet anyone as nice as you, ever." Dark Magician's eyes were soft as he spoke, they never left the elf's once.

"I don't think so either that's why I lo- I like you, that's why we're best friends," Celtic Guardian smiled, that same smile again.

Dark Magician nodded and the two sat in silence, each of them thinking and knowing they would be there for each other always.

"Celtic Guardian, I'm feeling much better now, thank you," Dark Magician said gratefully as he sat down for breakfast the next day. "I'm very happy," Celtic Guardian smiled. "What do you want to eat?"

"I think I'll just have some toast," relied the spellcaster. "Alright toast it is," the warrior got up from the table and got out two slices of bread. He put them in the toaster and pushed them down. "How do you want them?" he asked and looked over at Dark Magician. "Slightly brown, not too overdone," Dark Magician sat down and yawned.

"I was up earlier than you, so I already ate, I hope you don't mind," Celtic Guardian popped up the toast. "Not at all," Dark Magician got up and looked into the drawer and got a knife then he went over to the refrigerator and took out butter.

He sat down and neatly ate his toast, all the while Celtic Guardian watched him.

"What is it you find so fascinating?" asked the magician after he finished his first piece of toast. "Oh, I was just admiring how much strength you have gotten back, since two days ago is when I found you," Celtic Guardian admitted and a glow of joy came to his eyes.

Dark Magician nodded and asked again, "Celtic Guardian what would I do without you?"
