Chapter 6 : Elandra's story
This night Randor can't have found any sleep. Just after Teela had leave his study, he had begun to think about what she had said. One part of him want to be angry with her for not having protect Miro. But the most logic part of him can't help but agree with her decision. She was right to go to Adam. Miro was under the protection of the guards, not Adam. The part of Randor's mind who is under the spell casting by Miro try to made the king see the things under an other light. But the king can't forget that his people were willing to give their life to protect Adam, they don't have made a step when Miro was attacked.
Restless, the king leave his study and come to his room. There, he look at his wife. He had always love Marlena, even more than he had loved Elandra. It give him always peace just by looking at his sleeping wife. Not now. Marlena don't sleep her usual calm and peaceful sleep, now she turn in her bed every minute. Randor know that he is responsible of this, like he is responsible for Adam brocking the link they once share. His content for his son had show more than one time in the past years. It was always a subject of quarrel between him and his wife. Sometim, he wonder what his wife see so wonderful in their son. At once Teela was in his side against Adam, but not now. Randor know that he need to talk to Duncan soon about the relationship between their children. Teela is a wonderful woman, and she will be the best of the wife for Adam. But Miro want her too, and if he can give her to him, then maybe he would have refund some of the debt he had with his older son.
The king come to a chair and doze of. Soon, he found himself again when he had first meet Miro's mother.
.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
It was a bright day. Randor had leave for the first time the farm where he had grew up. His father was the captain of the army of the elders, and Randor go to a travel to meet him again. It was always his dream to be a fighter like all of his ancestor. he was not made for the farm life. Even the young Marlena, the girl of the next door, can't have made him change his mind. Suddenly, his line of thought were cutting by a loud scream. Without thinking Randor run to the scream.
The scenario he found there is totally different from what he had expected. There, in this place, he found the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She seem so lost that he can't help but feel like if his heart stop with each of her tears. She look at him and he lost all of his mind, he drown himself in her dark eyes. The only thing he can think now is how beautiful she is and how much he want to held her in his arm. When she ask him if he can help her, he can't think of anything but doing what she want. So, he lead her to his secret house, which is one of his most important possession. His mother had help him to build it when he was young. No one, except for Randor and his mother had known about this place.
Sooner than he had wanted to, he had need to leave the young woman alone. She had promise him to wait his return and he had wished that she really wait for him. He don't know how to name the feeling he feel with her, except for one word : Love. He had go to the battle field with his mind full of Elandra. When he had arrive he had discover that his father was dead. The hurt he had feel then was almost unbearable, and he had lost most all of his pain when, one day, Elandra had come to him in the battlefield. She had introduce herself as Randor's fiance, and no one had say anything against it. Soon after, he had marry her with all of the masters as witness. The only one who was not there at this time, was Duncan. The elders have call him and when he had return Elandra was gone to their house.
For three years, Randor had spare his time between the masters and his wife. After one year of marriage Elandra had give birth to a son, which was named Miro like his grand-father. often, Elandra had come to her husband with her son, but strangely, each time she come the elders have something to do with Duncan. This fact had bothered Randor, he had try more than one time to convince his wife that she need to be introduce to the elders. But, each time, she had found some reason for not doing it, and he had always found her reason very smart.
The worst day of his life was then he had return to their house to found his wife dead with his son. Both of them were killed by a new villain. At this time Randor had not known the name of the man who had killed his loved one, but a short time after he had discover the truth. It was when he had fight against Keldor for the first time that he had discover that this man was the killer of his family. For this first battle he had want to kill the man, and only a falcon had stop him from doing so. When he had see the bird, Randor had lost all his thought of revenge.
For a long time he had mourn the death of his wife and son, and he don't have want to marry again ever. But, when the elders have appointed him as the king, he had no other choice but take a wife. He had think about this for a long time, and finally he had choose to marry someone he already knows. That's why he had come to Marlena's father estate to ask him for his daughter hand. Of course Marlena had agree and after three months they were wedded. When Marlena had tell him that she is expecting, Randor had feel only pain. And when Adam was born, Randor can't have help but compare him to Miro. Adam was a smiling baby, not like Miro was. When Randor had see Miro as a tolder he had think that his son his the smarter boy of the world. Randor can't feel the same to Adam, sure he love his son. But in his eyes Adam is just a shadow of what Miro can have been.
..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Sighing, Randor try to sleep again. Why his people can't see that Miro would be a better king than Adam. Randor would done everything in his power to give to his son all what he want. And, if his son want to have Teela for him, then he would have her, no matter the cost. Duncan is his friend, and Randor is sure that if him and Miro come to speak with Duncan then the latter will see that Miro and Teela are mean to be.
Marlena fake her sleep. She can feel Randor turn around the bed. She know her husband, and she know how much displeased he is with Adam. Until Miro come to the palace, she can't have understand why her husband look at their son with such sadness in his eyes. now she understand. Randor had never give a chance to Adam to be himself. She is angry with her husband for comparing his two sons. But, more important, she is worried for Adam. Someone had try to kill her son ! She is not fooled by Miro's act. The shooter had nothing against Miro, his true target was Adam, she know it. And, if it was not for Teela and the people of Eternos, then this night would have been the funeral of Adam. She need to find a way to help her son, and if it's mean that she need to act like if she love Miro, then so let it be.
Miro sleep peacefully. For the first time he feel like if everything will go to his plan. Sooner in the evening he had go to see Duncan. And now the man-at-arm is ready to give the hand of his daughter to him. He just need to convince the woman, but with his power it will not be so hard. Until now he had only use a small part of his power with her, because he don't have want to have a doll with no mind at his arm. But now it doesn't matter. If the only way he had to have her is by breaking her mind, then he will doing so. she will be his, no matter the cost.
