Syanne

Weeks have passed since the war began. The cloud had gathered yet again to cover the struggling rays of the sun, much to the relief of the fledglings that still stayed in the clan while the battle still raged on in the north. We had all been gathered outside, even the slaves. I looked over to Ravard who gave a gentle nod and glanced over towards the court yard entrance.

Zephon strolled in, lanky in form and his head dramatically tilted up with the most stupid look upon his face. How he was the leader of a clan I would never understand, but I was best keeping such thoughts to myself because I would be put to death for saying such things. I heard a slight snigger and looked over at Ravard trying to contain himself. I frowned and shook my head. 'Children of Dumah!' he announced, his voice giving a slight screech, by God's he irritated me. 'As many of you may know Lord Dumah is still in battle fighting of human rebels, protecting not only his own clan but the rest of Kain's lieutenants and Lord Kain's empire!' We all remained silent respectfully waiting for his speech to end.

Then his attention was brought to me. Strolling up like a proud stallion, a rather skinny proud stallion, he stood in front of me, towering over like a withered tree he gave a small smile. 'Since Dumah has been gone longer than expected Syanne, Dumah's lady and Ravard one of Dumah's most trusted kin shall now be here with me assisting, if any of you have concern please come to Syanne, she will handle your inquiries and your comments and then bring them to me…' with the last word he looked me up and down again. Turning on his heels he gave a sigh. 'Slaves!' he called making all the droned expressions come to life for a split second, their frail forms startled as the hobbled towards him and bowed deeply. 'The reasons I called you here is I expect you to respect me and do as commanded. Due to his long absence their will be big changes here. I've noticed the filth in this place, I want everywhere swept, cleaned and washed is that understood?' he gave a final shriek to the end of his announcement. 'Yes master' answering quietly still bowing lowly. 'All of you may take your leave. Syanne, Ravard meet me in the library I have new plans to put in order and I can't very well do this all on my own you know.'

Quickly he left, a few slaves limping after him as quickly as they could waiting on him hand and foot. As soon as Zephon had left the courtyard Ravard and I burst into laughter. 'Dumah is going to kill him if he catches word of what he was saying about his territory.' Ravard gave a deep chuckle. 'Who knew Zephon Nosgoth's best spy had an eye for cleaning. He should take it up as his new calling don't you think?

Ravard and I waited in the grand library. We sat discussing the war and our thoughts on what was happening. It was then I had that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach again. Thoughts of Drevmar, Kimsan and Dumah came into my mind. 'You are worrying about them aren't you?' Ravard soothing voice came into my mind. 'Of course I am, is the concern on my face that noticeable?' Rubbing my eyes with the back of my pale hand. He only nodded slightly and his eyes diverted to the floor. 'They will return soon my lady'. I stood up and made my way over to an ornamental shield, slowly guiding my hand over the polished surface, my reflection looked empty, my eyes seemed to be a brighter green and my lips fuller the tears brimming in my eyes.

'My Lord.' I heard Ravard say with respect in his voice, as he bowed his dark locks covered his eyes, hiding any form of emotion, but I could see through it, his vibes were nothing but pure hatred. Zephon marched in and made his way to the lavished chair in front of the fireplace. I gave a slight curtsy of respect and sat on one of the smaller chairs. 'What ever is the matter my dear? You seem rather upset.' Zephon perked his head forward and placed a claw underneath my chin. 'It is nothing my Lord I am merely concerned about the war.' He gave a slight nod and sat back. 'Tis' indeed concerning Syanne. That is why I called you here. He cracked his neck and glanced over to Ravard.

'Leave' he said suddenly to Ravard. 'My Lord?' Ravard said with a hint of confusion in his voice. 'You heard me, leave.' With that Ravard looked over at me and bowed his head. 'Yes sir' he knew better than to question Zephon. When Ravard left, Zephon pulled his chair closer to me and sat in front. His eyes looked down to the floor and gave a soft draw of breath; the light darkened his eyes when he looked down. 'What's the matter? I thought you wanted both Ravard and I to be informed about the change or routine and plan.' Zephon shook his head slowly I could tell something was seriously wrong. 'I asked Ravard to leave because I have news for you that I have only just heard…Syanne' taking his hands onto mine.

'Dumah is no longer with us, the humans have defeated him. Lord Kain will be making the announcement later on.' His voice sounded broken. 'Zephon no, he can't be, it is impossible!', 'Syanne please! It was one of my troops whom accompanied Dumah who found him. The rest of the clan shall return in a week or so.' I put my head into my hands and burst into tears, I felt as though I was going to be sick. I could feel his heavy talon rest on the back of my head. I knew in my heart Dumah was not dead.

This wasn't denial. Something wasn't right. 'I shall inform Ravard; being his closest also he should know. With that he got up and left, leaving me in my grief. I lay my head onto the chair and broke my heart, bloody tears streaming down my face. 'Syanne… I…here… I.' I shot up quickly looking round me. There was no one in sight. 'I'm a…'

I was being whispered. I gasped as I knew who's voice it was.
