"M..mother?" Saladin set a step backwards. He looked at Faragonda, she looked away. "Why didn't you tell us?" Pain was in her eyes. "You have lied against us…"
"Noo… Saladin, please." Tears fell onto the ground. "Please, don't do that, don't say that."
His eyes were cold, all there eyes were ice-cold. She looked at her son. He was smiling the biggest smile she had ever seen on his face.
"Why? What have I done wrong, Baltor?" He started laughing again.
"You locked me up! That was your greatest mistake, Mother!" He raised his hand, pointed it at her and shot an energy wave. Her body came loose of the ground and crashed against the back wall. Her scream echoed through the cave. The sound of breaking bones too. Faragonda fell as a pill on the floor. She whimpered.
"I… I never… locked you up… Your father… he did… it." She moans, talking hurts.
"My father?" Baltor laughed again. "I have no father, didn't you tell me that yourself? Didn't you tell me I was born with magic?" Again he pointed his hand at her and again he shot an energy wave, but this time… Faragonda didn't hit the wall. Instead she landed in soft shadows that stopped her and gently laid her onto the ground.
"She said with magic, not of magic… Son…" The shadows took form. Dark-red skin appeared, sharp claws opened and closed, spikes rose out of the back and head, long strips fel down. Lord Darkar appeared. "I'm no human, I don't have semen. Your mother talks the truth, Baltor. It was me who locked you away. So if you want to battle some one about that, battle me."
"You!?" Baltor made a step back. "You are my father!?"
"Who else?" Darkar stepped over the unconscious Faragonda. "Saladin? I would doubt it, she met him after I locked you up in order to save darkness."
"Save darkness? Were you afraid I would turn good?"
"No." Darkar looked down at Faragonda. "Inside you was great light, light that would explode as soon as you turned 12. Light that would have destroyed al darkness. Something I didn't want."
"But why didn't you kill me? Why did you lock me up?" Baltor stepped forward again, creating a energy ball.
"Because of the powers of blood on Faragonda's planet. Children can't be killed when their mother is alive until they are 20. They can't be cursed until they are 5. And I wanted to prevent losing Faragonda, I couldn't kill her just to kill you. And I couldn't kill my own son."
He looked up and Bloom could feel the love and paternal feelings. He truly loved Faragonda and he loved his son. "Although I married her because of her powers, I loved her back then and I still do, Son. She was forced to marry me in order to protect her planet, so she never loved me, but she loves you. Let's quit this, I am sure you don't want to hurt her either. And we will when we fight. I am stronger then you are and I will kill you to protect her, even if you are my son. I lost last year because of my love for her, but this time I will win because of this."
"And I wont let you hurt her either!" Bloom flew forward, stepping next to Darkar. Every one was shocked. Bloom next to Darkar out of free will? "Even if I have to fight with my counterpart. She hasn't done anything to deserve this. She is my Headmistress and I wont let you hurt her. She is maybe your mother and Darkar's wife, but she is good and I wont allow you to hurt some one good!"
Baltor looked at them both and said: "I wont hurt her. She is my mother. I will leave… To think, but one last question father; how did you got the dragon so far to help you lock me in and if you love me, why didn't you free me?"
"I didn't get the Dragon so far to help me lock you away. The explosion still occurred, but didn't destroy evil, it created the Dragon. A part of her was mixed with my energy in the stone. So in order to get you out I needed her powers too, but she didn't want to help me."
"Oh…" Baltor looked confused and then disappeared.
At that moment Darkar's legs gave away. His outlines were flushing. He looked up at Bloom. "My time has passed. I have to leave. Faragonda, please, take care of her. And tell her… That I really loved her… Tell her why her son was taken away… Please…" He fell apart into shadows.
Bloom nodded into the emptiness. Some one appeared in her view. Saladin bowed over the unconscious body.
"She almost has no pulse. We have to get her back to Alfea."
