A maiden by the name of Rachelle Binks rode in to Rhy'Din in the Mid of night one evening. She was very wery. So she headed to the local inn for a place to rest for the next day. She stepped on the porch of the Red Dragon inn and looked in. A fine group of people. She stepped in and......saw a .........dragon of all things!! She later found out the kind, but tough, dragon's name was Icer. Rachelle ask for a room to board in for the night. They agreed to let her have a place to lay her head. She was greatful. She put up her things in the room and went back down to the bar. There she saw a young half-elf by the name of Dimitri, she feel in love with him. A brut by the name of Ricknos came in. Rachelle felt an ora on him she didn't like. Dimitri told her that he was the man he was to go to battle with. Rachelle was worried and shocked. Her feelings were correct, Ricknos was evil. There was a large fight in which Ricknos lost. He did not die, he turned to dust, where he regenerated and left the Inn. Dimitri was hurt. But Rachelle was called away before she could say anymore. As a glow whisped her away, she worried even more. Was Dimitri going to be alright' How was his battle going to unfold? Rachelle must help him in some way....

Rachelle walked down the steps from her room to the bar in the Inn and there he was, Dimitri. He was unharmed. She was so relieved. All that worry for nothing.

He saw her walking. Nothing but grace. He appeared to be turning down a girl because of Rachelle.

She was nothing but giddy when she saw him. He, the same. They made their ways to each other. It was pure bliss.

They talked wonderfully. Rachelle laid her head on his shoulder. Bliss once more. They hugged, they kissed, they held hands. He tickled her to death. It was sweet. Nothing better.

Then, he left. She was alone. She sat there, dazed. Finally, she left to her room. Writing letters to her father.

Rachelle hoped her father was alright since she left to Rhy'din.

Rachelle went up to her room after seeing Dimitri once more, sad that he left but delighted that she saw him. After thinking about Dimitri for some time she decided to write a letter to her father, telling him about the town of Rhy'Din.

She wrote: " Dear father, My time here in Rhy'Din has been wonderful, But I dearly miss you. It is a great place filled with splended people, well most are people. I met a wonderful dragon named Icer. She is a sweetheart, but can be a little tough. (she talks) Great conversations. Then I met a man named Dimitri. He was the first person to really befriend me. He is half-elf. Father, he is one of the most handsom men I have ever met. I've known him for such a sort time and it feels like forever. Father, someday I think I would like to be wed to him. But, it might just be a fling. I hope not. There was an evil man I met at the Inn. His name was Ricknos. He had a fued with everyone, exspecially with Dimitri. They went into battle today. I worried so much for Dimitri. He won and is ok. I wanted to fight along side him. You know I would, for anyone. But I never had a chance. They say Ricknos is dead. I hope so. But I have a weird feeling he might not be. He has a thing where he can regenerate. So.....he might could do that. That worries me. But father, I miss you so much. Will you please come to Rhy'din with me? You know a young woman needs the guidence of her father. Please. I do wish you meet Dimitri.

Love always Your only daughter, Rachelle "

With that Rachelle folded up the letter and put it in an envolope. She went down stairs and put it in the post. Her father will love to hear from her.

The next morning she lie awake in her cozy bed at the Inn. She sat at the foot of the bed and merely yawned. Boy how she loved sleep. She finally got up to take a shower. A women needs her shower.

After some time she stepped out and nearly slipped. That's Rachelle for you. She laughed to herself and dried off. She air dried her hair and dabbed on some lipgloss. Mmmmm lipgloss. With a towel wrapped around her, she went about her room tiding up. Rachelle hated messy rooms. She grabbed a white sleeveless top, plaid black and white short skirt, and boots. She loved her boots dearly.

After putting on her clothes, she set off down stairs then to the post. While setting off to the post, she got a few glares from men she passed. She just laughed to herself. Men.

She reached the post and asked the elder postmaster if Rachelle Binks had any letters. He nodded and told her that in fact she had. He handed her a single letter, from her father. Such quick service, nice.

She reached her room at the Inn, how she loved the Inn. She opened the letter eagerly. She began to read.

The letter Read: " Dear Daughter, I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying Rhy'Din so well. This boy, does he treat you right' I dearly hope so. If not, he will hear from me. Sorry, I do not mean to be hard on the poor boy. But you are my daughter and I would defend you at any cost. My angel, I love you so very much.

The town sounds so pleasant and grad. Thank you very much for inviting me to live with you there. I wish to be with you there. I've deciding I will come to come to Rhy'Din and enjoy my last years with you. I will be there in four days. Your father is becoming far too old for anymore travel after this, so this will be my last adventure. Please do not be shocked that I am not the man I once was, this last year has taken a toll on my feble body. I hope not to be a burden on you in Rhy'din, but I wish to see you once more. Be preparing for my stay.

Your loving father, Caydin Binks "

She was shocked and delighted at what she had read. Feble" A man who taught her the ways of the sword" Had he worried himself sick about me this past year?

She had to prepare for his stay with care.

He walked the halls of the inn for the past 10 minutes thinking about her. He got to room 12 and got ready to knock on the door but stopped. He couldnt do it. For some reason he couldnt get himself to knock on the door. He turned and walked down the hall and out of the inn and stood outside leaning against the wall looking at the sky. His golden gaze watched as two birds flew around from roof to roof.

Rachelle sat at the vanity brushing her hair in a daze. She had a full night with Dimitri. It was wonderful non-the-less. Well, it was all wonderful except when she had to tell him she was an empath after receiving a horrid vision of a battle. She sighed, what a great way to top off the night she thought.

She got up from the vanity and started her cleaning process of the morning. Straightened up the bed, brushed her teeth, dusted, picked up anything on the floor, picked up her boots and set them aside in the corner, straightening up her small bit of make-up on the vanity, and finally sitting down in a chair next to the vanity. She sighed once more.

Then she had a feeling that someone was at the door, a great fear they had. She sat up, looking at the door. Who was it wanting to knock on the door of her room 12" She didn't know, she wasn't a mind-reader of course. Though it would've helped.

She got up and walked silently to the door and put her ear to it. She listened as whoever walked back down the hall and down the stairs. She opened the door and gazed down the hall, then leaning on the door way. Who could it have been, she asked herself. Again, she sighed. Dimitri" She leaped up and put on her robe, nearly jumping down the steps of the staircase.

She was dashed out of the Inn, almost falling off the porch. Then Rachelle caught a glimps of him walking away from the Inn, down the street. She slowly walked back into the Inn, everyone staring at her. Running out of the inn like an idiot wearing a robe, she would have been staring too. She made her way up the stairs to her room. She walked in to her bed and plopped down. She sighed, yet again. After a few minutes of thinking, she decided to get up and get her clothes on. No reason to stay in bed all day!

She decided to put on some modern things she saw in a store the other day. A white tank-top with a rose on it, cut off shorts, low cut socks, and shoes they called converse (black, of course). She slipped on the outfit and dabbed on some more lipgloss, pulling her hair up in pigtails. She headed out the door once more, only now to go shopping. Yes, shopping.

Oh yes, and to buy things for her father as well.

Dimitri woke up at 5 o'clock in the morning. He looked around the still dark room. Charlie the little puppy was sleeping at the end of the bed. Rachelle had her arms around Dimitri like she was hlolding a teddy bear. He slowly sat up a bit, he moved her arm off of his body. She shifted and Dimitri froze not wanting to wake her up. But she only rolled over.

Dimitri got out of bed and put his shirt on. He looked around the room remembering where everything was. He stood up and walked to the bathroom and took a shower a quick one. When he was fully dressed and ready to go he walked over and kissed rachelle on the forehead and left rose made of marble pn his pillow With a note saying: "Sorry I couldnt say goodbye to you. but I need to go for my run. But I hope this will make up for me not saying goodbye to you. Love Dimitri."

He turned and walked to the door and slowly opened it with out making a noise. He walked down the hallway and out the inn, and started his 10 mile run.

Rachelle awoke at 9 on the dot. She turned over thinking that Dimitri would still be there. All she found was a note and a marble Rose. How pretty the rose was. She thought of putting it in a vase.

She got up from the bed. Vase vase vase.........No vase. She looked around. Hmmm, she thought. She set the rose back on the pillow. Then she saw the note once more. She picked it up and read it. It said he was out for a run, again. Out running....".....again?"

She sighed and turned to the bed, his scent still lingered. She made the bed and went on to her morning chores.

She took a shower and brushed her teeth, remembering he father would be there THRUSDAY! Opps.....she forgot. She ran to the closet to find something to wear. She had just went shopping the other day, so her closet was even more stuffed. What to wear, what to wear? She pondered, oh pondered. She decided on frayed jeans and a gray short sleeved shirt, with her coverse. Modern.....Oh well. She had bought some Eyeliner, she didn't know what it was. While putting it on, she nearly jabbed her eye out. But It looked ok. She put on a little light gray eyeshadow, and her lipgloss.

She was good to go. She ran down stairs and asked if she could rent room 14 for her father arriving Thrusday. They agreed and handed her the keys.

Everything was almost set for his arrival.

Dimitri

He walked up the stairs the best he could using crutches. The fight with rick back was very costly from Dimitri. As he slowly stopped at Room 12 he knocked on it lightly and then tried the door knob finding it open he opened the door and was greeted by Charlie and a sleeping Rachelle. By the looks of it had tried to stay up for him. He petted the charlie and shooed him away.

He walked over to Rachelle and sat on the bed next to her. He slowly picked her up. Pulled back the covers on the bed and put her back onto the bed. He then covered her up, Dimitri stood up and walked over to the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He looked like he had aged a thousand more years.

He took his shirt off with some trouble and walked back over to the bed and sat down. He kissed Rachelle on the cheek and laid down next to her. Easily drifting off to sleep.

Rachelle ran up the staircase, tears flying wildly. She could not take the pain she saw in Dimitri's eyes, she could not take the pain Dimitri felt in his heart, she could not take the pain he shared with her unknowing that he was.

She stubbled up the steps, inch for inch she felt the hurt. Walking down the hall she just wished it would go away. She turned the doorknob weakly. It opened slowly, she toppled in falling to the floor. She stood up weakly and kicked to door shut.

Never had she felt this kind of pain, never. She had been able to control her empathy before, even in battle when men around her died. She knew this would happen if she ever fell in love. She was now connected emotionally to Dimitri, but when he hurt she would now feel his pain two-fold, two times worse than his. Most emotions she could hold back feeling from him, but not a pain like this. Her father had explain this to her, saying if she ever fell in love which he wished for his daughter. Because he too as an empath knew what she would have to go through.

She fell onto the bed, grabbing at her sides, her stomache. "Damn empathy!" she screamed. She cried heavaly until there were no tears left. The pain was now burning at her insides. "No," she cried as she fell to her hands and knee on the floor. She could barely crawl to her dagger pouch, but she made it. "If I can't will it away, then I'll cover it up with my own pain," she said in a whisper, pulling out a dagger. But the dagger was like none anyone had ever seen. It had a special enchantment on it, one her father had made for her. "I'll give this to you, you'll know how to use it when the time has come," Caydin, her father, had said as she left a year ago. "I know now," she whispered once more, stabbing herself in the side, laying on the floor. Rachelle lay there, letting blood pour from the wound. The blood soaked into her gray shirt, turning it crimson. It spilled over the floor, slowly soaking into her fresh jeans. But she felt nothing, Numb to any pain in the world.

She gentally took the dagger out of her side, more blood gushed out. She could still feel nothing. She slowly stood up, not knowing if she really was or not. She looked to the puddle of blood, it was beginning to soak into the wood floors. The suddenly the dagger glowed, turning the blood a violet color. She turned her head to the side in puzzlement.

The dagger flew out of her hand, stabbing into the floor. The violet blood began to go INTO the dagger. What?"", she thought. In seconds the blood was gone, now into dagger. All what was left was the still crimson blood stain on her shirt and pants. And now she could feel again, her own feelings. She felt her face, it was cold. She was cold all over, shivering. She pulled up her shirt to see how bad the wound was, but it was gone. No scar, no nothing. The dagger had removed that as well. She sighed in relief. She didn't think that tonight she had enough power to heal herself. Rachelle went to the mirror, she was pale and drained. She looked at her clothes, ruined. She gentally took them off and took a long and hot shower. What a long day it was.

Stepping out of the shower, she put on some nightclothes. The shower had warmed up her cold blood and bones some. She layed on the bed and there was Charlie, scratching at the door. She slowly walked to the door and let him in. She pet the pup and he licked her face, then he jumped onto the bed. She weakly smiled.

Rachelle shut the door and walked to the bed, sitting on it. She wanted to stay up to see if Dimitri would come up. But her eyelids had a different idea, sleep. She pet Charlie one last time and lie down, not even making an effert to pull the covers down. She quickly fell asleep.

Tomorrow she must make plans for her father.

Dimitri

He woke up very early again, Dimitri sat up weakly and looked around. "damn the sun is still not up." He reached for his bag under the bed and put on a loose t-shirt and stood up. His legs seem to be doing a lot better. Dimitri turned and looked at Rachelle and kissed her on the lips very gently. He then turned and took out the military uniform and foulded it up and placed it on the nightstand.

Dimitri looked around and walked toward the bathroom. he still had a limp but he was able to hide it a bit better now. He washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror he still looked like he had aged by so many years. His energy was still trying to recharge, he wasted too much with the fight with rick. He walked toward the door and leaned against the wall grabbing his leg. "okay just a short run this morning." he told himself.

He opened the door and closed it with a satisfying click. The half-elf walked down the hall and out of the inn. He then began his run but did not return for a very long time. After returning around 8:30 in the morning he walked back into the room his limp was gone and sat down on the bed and was asleep again before he even hit the pillow.

Rachelle woke up around 9 in the morning, later than what she wanted to. She woke up with a jolt, springing out of bed quickly racing to the shower. She had MASSIVE amounts of things to do. HER FATHER WAS COMING!! She fret horribly while Dimitri lie asleep....she sighed. How could he still be asleep? He looked like he'd gotten up....out for a run.

She smiled to herself. Then she began to clean, in only her towel.....forgetting something. She stopped....remembering CLOTHES. She would be shopping for her father's room so she wouldn't need dress clothes yet. So she just threw on some jeans and a t-shirt. Then out the door she was.

Rachelle didn't want to wake Dimitri, he looked so peaceful. So out the door she went, shopping for her father's room.....and a nice new dress. She was a little weak from the previous night healing Dimitri, but she would make it.

She shopped for a few hours, finding a lovely white and black corsett dress. Well, she also found the perfect brown with shell colored flecks curtain to match her father's room. Yippy!, she thought but felt guilty for leaving Dimitri behind. He did so want to go with her. By now he would be up to find her gone. Rachelle did leave a note saying where she had gone to, but that wouldn't make up for it. She sighed again thinking of it.

She came back, arms full of heavy baging. Quickly, she went to the room soon to be her father's. And there she worked on the room, setting up pictures and curtains and bedding.

After changing into the new dress and saying sorry for leaving Dimitri to shop, Rachelle and Dimitri waited for her father outside the Inn. Dimitri looked wonderful, decked out in his Military Dress Uniform. She told he didn't have to, but he insisted.

They waited.....a while. "What time did your father say he was coming in?" Dimitri asked. "He didn't. He merely said he would come. I told him to come to the inn," Rachelle said crossing her legs and straightening the skirt of her dress. The Corsett was killing her, but she tried to pay know mind to it. She straightened out the Heart Necklace Dimitri had given her, it glowed dimly. Then she fiddled with the dimond ring on her right ring-finger he had also given her, next to the ring of her mother's. Rachelle was nervous to see her father in over a year, but it would be nice. She looks to the right of her, a bird caught her eye.

"Love, is that him?" Dimitri pointed to a man waving like a maniack on a horse. She stood up fast. "Father!" She screamed as she ran to the man as the sun set. "I take that as a yes," Dimitri smiled.

The man, her father Caydin, stepped off the horse. Rachelle's eyes watered just seeing him again. He looked not a bit aged as he had said he did. "Where's a father's hug?" Caydin asked wrapping his arms around her, " You look more like your mother everyday." " Father, you haven't seen me in almost a year," Rachelle said as she look into his loving eyes that comforted her so. " No no," Caydin said," I seen you everyday, everytime I looked at your beautiful picture." Her eyes teared more.

They walked to the pourch, arm in arm. Caydin stepped up onto the pourch and seen Dimitri, impressed by his apperance. "My good man, are you this Dimitri I heard so much of?" He asked Dimitri with a grin. "Yes sir," Dimitri nodded with a handshake. "Come here boy!" Caydin said as he bearhuged him. Dimitri's eyes yelled "Help!" at Rachelle. The only thing she could do was laugh and escort Caydin to his room.

Dimitri

Dimitri woke up suddenly looking around. He was breathing hard still looking around the partially lit room. He sighed loudly and sat on the edge of the bed and pulled his bag from under the bed. He pulled out a white longsleeve shirt and a pair of shorts. He stood up and picked up his Military uniform and put it in the bag.

Dimitri walked out of the room and walked down the inn. When Caydin walked up to him "Where are you going, boy?" Dimitri looked at him slightly surprised "For a run sir. I try to run every morning." Caydin nodded slowly and walked back to his room. Dimitri walked outside and began his daily run.

As he was halfway done he stopped and leaned against a tree breathing hard. Dimitri as always as he ran couldnt stop thinking about Rachelle. Dimitri chuckled as he thought of her father. He was an interesting person to talk to. But he liked him though. Caydin wanted Rachelle to be married by now. Dimitri wanted to marry her but he didnt think they were ready. The didnt really know each other.

Dimitri began to run again not toward the Inn but to do another lap around the city then to the inn. After he was done it was almost 9 and he headed toward the inn and snuck into Rachelle's room. He took a long shower and dried off. He walked over to his bag and began to get dressed in a gray shirt and a pair of jeans. He sat on the bed waiting for Rachelle to wake up.

Rachelle awoke with a jolt, sitting straight up. Dimitri looked at her puzzled. She knew someone had been watching her sleep! No one had watched her sleep....since her mother.

"You ok, hun?" Dimitri asked. "Yea, yea. Just a dream, that's all," Rachelle replied. "Oh ok," He said kissing her on the forehead. She sighed as she slipped down from the bed, standing on the floor. " I...I think I'm going to take a shower now. k?" She told him. "Okay. Are you really alright?" He asked as she stepped into the bathroom. "Yea....It was just the dream. It....It was so real," She called from the bathroom, stepping out of her nightclothes. " What was it about?" He asked. "Nothing, really. I can't really remember. It just startled me," Rachelle called again, heading into the shower. She turned the hot water focet, it warmed her chilled body. It....was so real..., she thought.

She didn't want Dimitri to find out want it was about. She prayed it wasn't a premanition. She RARELY got one, but being the empath she was it wouldn't be far fetched that she had one. But this type of dream only happened to her once before, the night before her mother was slan from her and her father at Rachelle's age of five. The dream so long ago was her seeing her mother in a casket.

Bethanie looked so beautiful in that casket, Rachelle saw with her open eyes not but three days later. Her father cried, the only time she ever saw that man cry. She would have to if her mother didn't look so peaceful. She could not cry for a woman who was at peace. Rachelle merely stood there in shock. Who could have took her mommy away so harshy. Rachelle stood there in regret as well, she could have prevented it. If she had only told.

By then after thinking this much, the water was growing cold on her face. It drew her out of her thoughts. She exited the shower, drying off. Should she tell her father what she feared, or was it just a petty dream?

Rachelle opened her eyes fast, remembering that Dimitri was leaving for war that morning. She hoped she would catch a glimps of him leaving. But of course, he was not there.

She sat up slowly and looked at the ringbox and narrowed her eyes, then quickly turned her head to the window. Light so beautiful from Azilla poured in.

She smiled. She wondered if Dimitri would mind her moving in while he was gone. Hmmm, she thought. She did wish to stay here. She crosses her legs indian style and put her elbows to her knees then her head to her hands and just sat there for a while. She didn't want to snoop around in a house that wasn't her's.

Rachelle looked out the window again, this time angry. Why did he have to leave her"! Damn the Military! She knew it wasn't his fault, but that was the only thing in her head. The window cracked at her thoughts, bits breaking off onto the floor. Coming to her senses with the shatter, she looked at the mangled window. Nothing more than a few shards of glass left. Oh great!, she thought, he's going to love coming home to this! Why do I always screw things up"

She shook away the thoughts and barried her face in her palms. She sobbed. Rachelle quickly wiped away her tears, they were never there.

She stood up and made the bed. Dimitri had already made his side, careful not to wake her. There was nothing left to remind her of him, except everything made her think of him.

Rachelle slowly made her way to the shower. She let the hot water run over her face, clearing her thoughts somewhat. She stepped out, dried off, and brushed her teeth.

She looked around. Nice, she forgot to bring her own clothes. She sighed. She looked if there was a closet in the room, of course not.

Rachelle tip-toed out of the room in nothing but her underwear. Closet closet....where's a closet' She continued to tip-toe about the small house (it was large in her stand-point), then she came across two elven women in the dinning room sipping tea. She grabbed the nearest broom. She went into fighting mode, then was set back in laughter. Armed with a broom, wearing nothing but under gramets, preparing to fight harmless elves. She laughed loudly.

"Miss Binks?" The two elves called out. Rachelle stepped into the dinning room, somewhat embarassed at her lack of clothing. "Yes, ladies?" Rachelle couldn't look them in the eye. One stood up. "I'm Clarie, she is Farah. Dimitri appointed us to give you these clothes. " Clarie had a dress and shoes out stretched in her arms, she turned her head not to look at Rachelle. More of a complament. Rachelle took them quickly. "Thank you, much. I....I'm going to put them on," she said with a small smile, running to the closest room.

The dress was beautiful. It was a white off the shoulder half corsett with black lace. The shoes were black half heels. She spinned about in the room, watching as the skirt twirled. She loved to do that.

She stepped out of the room, overhearing Clarie's and Farah's conversation. "She really is pretty," Farah must have said. It wasn't Clarie's voice. "She's just a silly human." Clarie said. "You know Dimitri is just half elf," Farah said. "Oh.....but he still is elf." Clarie slowly said. "I don't know what you have against her. She seems nice, though I met her in her underwear," Farah said with a laugh. At that Rachelle came into the dinning room. They both looked at her in slight envy. "Ladies, what should we do today?" Rachelle asked brightly, hoping to change her mood. Farah spoke up first, standing. "Ma'am, Dimitri said to give you a guide around the town square," She said with a smile. "Oh that would be delightful," Rachelle gleamed," I would like to get to know you two better." "Would you like some breakfast?" Farah asked," We've been ordered to make you breakfast if you wish." "Oh no, that will not be needed. Let me make you two Breakfast. Please." Rachelle told them. Farah slowly sat down. Both her and Clarie gave her an odd but gratful look.

Rachelle made them bacon and eggs, with biscuts and jelly. They all ate, Farah and Clarie having more respect for her.

They set out to the town square, arm and arm. Laughing like a bunch of school girls. As Clarie got to know Rachelle she changed her mind about her.

Of course, they went shopping, Having a marvelous time. "Is Dimitri the love they say he is?" Farah blurted out. Rachelle merely laughed, but as the question slipped out they looked dead serious at her. "Yes, he is." She whispered to them. "Oh is would be grad to be you," Clarie said closing her eyes," Almost ever girl in this town tried at his heart. But none are like you." Farah nodded,"None have your interests, your ablities, your outlook, your beauty. No wander why so many envy you." "Oh stop it," Rachelle held her hand up in front of them," Beauty is just in the eyes of the beholder. To many I'm just a commoner, or merely a peasant girl." "We will hear none of that. Do commoners have a handsom man like Dimitri?" Farah asked. Rachelle stood quietly. "I thought not," Farah said in a laugh.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-06-26 17:42 EST
Dimitri and his band of new recruits was running the last mile of the 10 mile run. He himself was ahead of the group as the rest were almost to the verge of vomiting. The only thing that kept his mind off of his own Fatigue was Rachelle. Within the week if he does not get sent to war he would be able to see her again. As he passed the finish of the mile run his chest burned.

The stake wound from Vanion began to burn. His heart was on fire his body tensed up but he didnt let the elves see this. He turned to them trying to ignore the pain. "Alright that was good. But not good enough, you will have a five minute break then we move to sword practice." The elves nodded tiredly and fell to the ground. Dimitri turned and walked away holding his chest. Elrohir the tall elf ran up to Dimitri.

"You alright' That wound hurting you?" He asked but didnt need an answer. Dimitri doubled over leaning on a tree. Elrohir grabbed him "lets go your heading to the healers now." Dimitri just shook his head and stood up "Sword practice in 3 more minutes..." And continued his journey to the field.

But Elrohir was not going to let his friend continue to hurt. He walked off towards the healers and told them what he had seen. The healers stood up and ran and took Dimitri away. But not without a fight, Elrohir was also taken from the band of elves. The healers then sent a letter with Elrohir to Rachelle Binks saying:

Dear Miss Binks, Dimitri Huor Locherin will be taken from this posistion. Because of a problem to his heart. This wound as we see it, cannot be repaired or healed. It is beyond our powers to do so, But we do suggest strongly. That when Dimitri locherin returns to his home or to you that you find another way to get rid of this problem. Or try to figure out what it is, We are here also trying to figure out what is wrong with this warrior. Some think it is just his time to go, but he must continue to fight his ailment.

Signed, Head Azillian Doctor.

Elrohir and Dimitri both leave the hospital. They take the less traveled paths to get to his home. They enter the empty house and sit down in the living room talking about old wars and memories.

Rachelle, Clarie, and Farah walked down a small path which led to Dimitri's home, laughing. Their arms full of shopping bagging. As they reached the small house, Clarie and Farah stopped.

"What?" Rachelle asked in puzzlement. They looked at her. "Your necklace!" They shouted. "What about it"!" Rachelle said back. "It's glowing!" Farah shouted. Rachelle looked down at her heart necklace which glowed like a blue moon over the deepest ocean. "He's.....he's....he's home!!" Rachelle jumped in the air. "Who' Dimitri?" Clarie asked in surprise,"How do you know this?" "Yes, Dimitri. If it glows blue he will come back to me." Rachelle said with glee. She danced around a bit some more. Farah laughed.

Rachelle saw the tree in which to enter the house. She danced in her head once again.

"We are to enter the house like we know nothing of any sorts. Ok?" Rachelle looked to the elven girls. "Why?" Farah asked. Rachelle merely smiled. "Laugh like we did when Farah ate the sushi. Farah remember your face!" Rachelle said as they went into fits of laughter and, they stepped into the bark of the tree, it rippling like water. She never got over that.

They entered the house laughing histarically. Dimitri and Elrohir quickly ended their coversation.

Dimitri

As the night drew on Rachelle had fallen asleep Clarie and Farah were gone. But Elrohir and Dimitri were still up talking about memories and being louder then usual. Probally from the whiskey they were drinking. Elrohir was laughing as they were talking about when one of their friends was wounded. But then DImitri stood up, "I must get going to bed. Elrohir you know where your room is." laughs and heads up the stairs.

He saw Rachelle was already moved in and was fast asleep. He slowly laid down next to her running his hands through her hair. Smiling as he watched her sleep for a couple of minutes. He looked around the darkened room. Dimitri then slid under the covers and fell asleep. But as soon as his eyes closed he began to have horrible visions. He sat straight up breathing hard. They had seemed so real, Vanion did this to him. Damn Vampire, Dimitri laid back down again. But he had horrible images flicker through his mind.

He couldnt get to sleep, His anger was rising just thinking about Vanion. Then he rememberer what Artemus taught him. He began to only visualize a singlular flame. Throwing away every feeling that he had. Every thought, everything from his mind. He opened his eyes and got into the bed and fell asleep this type of mind calmness keeping the hellish images at bay.

Rachelle woke up with a massive headache. What happened?, she thought, ouch.

She turned over and saw Dimitri's beautiful face. Ahhhh....life was good. She smiled. He opened his eyes. Ackkk.....he saw her. She laughed.

Rachelle got up and took a shower and brushed her teeth. She got out and put on some clothes, her clothes. She looked around.....Dimitri's house. It was quaint, pleasant. Like she liked it.

She stepped into the dinning room and made breakfast. It was a small breakfast like the one made for Clarie and Farah, but it was made with something special - love. If love could control the world, Rachelle would be queen.

As Dimitri and Rachelle ate, she thought of her father. Hmmm.....I wonder where he set out and where he moved to Azilla. That man, Rachelle could never keep up.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-06-28 20:34 EST
Dimitri walked outside and looked up at the sky. Staring at the light breaking through the trees. The beams lighting up parts of the grass. He heard Elrohir Clarie and Farah all talking to each other. But he would not join in on the conversation. He began to strech his arms and legs. He looked around and smiled at Rachelle as she watched him. Dimitri began his daily run.

The letter pretty much said to take it easy. But he wouldnt he need to think what has happened to him. Vanion was on his mind...he is now wanted by the rhydin watch. But it wasnt his fault it was his newest power. His dragon form and with the dragon form came rage, he thought he could control it. But ever since he met Vanion in the annex and he had burned it down.

The last thing he remembered that he was in jail then nothing. His rage had taken over. many people have died from his dragon rage. He cannot control it. Artemus had helped him control it, Void the flame. He had to concentrate on them. That calmed enough to quell his rage long enough to get out of dodge.

As Dimitri's mind came back to his running he had been gone for two hours just running. He turned and in a flash the Green dragon stood where Dimitri was looking up into the sky. Then took off heading for the city.

Rachelle walked out of the house in worry. Dimitri had been gone almost 4 hours....Not like the normal.

She walked a while, wondering. She looked to the sky, and she saw a green dragon. Dimitri"!

"Dimitri!!" she shouted, of course he neither heard her or payed any mind to her.

What's going on with him", she thought, he won't do that to her....

Dimitri

Date: 2006-06-29 15:58 EST
Dimitri woke up later then usual. He walked downstairs to see Clarie and Rachelle talking then saw Elrohir outside. Dimitri went over to Rachelle and kissed her on the cheek. "good morning" He turned towards the window "Elrohir! Wanna spar, First on to five wins!?" Elrohir looked at Dimitri and nodded. He was never very good at turing down a challenge.

Dimitri walked outside Clarie began to get excited seeing Dimitri and Elrohir spar. She turned to Rachelle "Want to watch' I know I am!" Dimitri picked up the wooden Nodachi blade and looked at Elrohir. He picked up his own wooden Nodachi blade. "Alright Dimitri I think we both know the rules. What to do ad what not to do. Lets start, Farah will start us." He turned to Farah and nodded, She yelled "Start the spar! First one to five hits will be the winner!"

Dimitri took his fighting stance the tip of the nodachi blade on the ground. Elrohir attacked first bringing the blade high then low, Spinning around slicing towards Dimitri's head. But each attack was defelcted and dodged with ease. Dimitri then began to attack with lightning quick attacks. That were so fast that it seemed his wooden nodachi would disappear fro view.

The first three points went to Dimitri as he scored them one right after the other. Elrohir scored one using his wind magic to move behind Dimitri hitting him hard on the shoulder. The next half an hour was them just attacking parrying dodging. Then Farah yelled "You must now use your magic for every attack!" The two warriors lept back sending blasts of wind and rock at each other. Elrohir couldnt stop one rock that Dinged him on the arm.

Dimitri lept to the air sending rocks trees at Elrohir scoring the 5th and final point. The two elves stopped and looked at eachother laughing. "Good duel old friend." They patted each other on the back and walked over to Farah, Clarie and Rachelle. Dimitri sat down next to Rachelle, "What did you think of that. Just a way to stay in shape."

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-06-29 23:16 EST
Rachelle Smiled at the sweet Dimitri.

"I loved it," Rachelle smiled, "What else do you do?" She laughed. "awwe.....I Wanted to spar!" She laughed again.

"Then why don't you?" Dimitri laughed. She looked at him with wide eyes. He Just laughed.

Clarie and Farah looked at the couple. "Yea you two, bring on the spar!" Farah shouted.

"Well?" Dimitri asked still laughing a bit.

Rachelle just gapped in shock. She couldn't hurt her love. But she never passed down a fight though. Hmmmm....., She thought.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-06-30 14:12 EST
"Come on lets spar, first one to five. Clarie can start it." Dimitri said smiling walking towards the open field waiting for Rachelle to make a decision.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-06-30 21:42 EST
Rachelle raised her gaze to his eyes. "I'll gladly spar with you, love." she said with a smirk.

Clarie and Farah looked at her with amazement and amusement. Dimitri raised a brow at her. She only laughed.

They found their positions. Rachelle went into fighting pose, wooden Nodachi in hand. She choose to look at Dimitri not as her love, which was hard. If she looked on at him as she always did, she would lose. She hated losing.

She eagerly waited for Clarie's call for start.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-07-01 23:00 EST
Rachelle and Dimitri glared at each other, of course in good fun, waiting for Clarie to call the start. Rachelle froze in terror as she felt an emence pain in her chest, from the only person she couldn't block the pain of another, her father.

She fell to her knees in horror and pain. The pain was enough to kill the biggest horse. "Noooo!" she shrieked as she clutched her chest, putting her face to the ground. Farah, Elrohir, and Clarie gapped at her in fear. All three knew nothing of her empathy. They ran to her side, while Dimitri stood frozen there. He slowly inched to her side as well.

"What the hell happened?" he yelled. "My father! Where is he"!" Rachelle called out, looking up through the tears in her eyes. Clarie set a quivering hand on Rachelle's shoulder. "I don't....know. We looked yes-turday," Farah said with fright in her eyes. They had looked. he was gone, like he was never there. He clearly went off on one of his adventures, alone.....with a weak heart.

That was what he had warned her about, that was why he said he was a feble old man. A foolish old man!, she screamed in her head. And now she felt his every dieing breath. She would never see him again, alive. He promised!, she screamed again. So loud it seeped into Dimitri's head, seeming to knock him back a bit. He fell to her side in comfort.

"Leave me alone!" she sobbed, speaking more to the deadly pains of her father than the people around her. Clarie and Farah cautiously stood up. Dimitri stood up as well, only picking rachelle up in his arms.

"No," she wriggled in his arms as she sobbed, "Let me go!" With a swift knee to his face, he dropped her to the ground. Astonishment and hurt filled his eyes as her looked down at her, rubbing the side of his face. "I'm.....sorry," she put her palm to her face, "I don't want to see me like this..." She cried more,"You should leave." "I'm not leaving you, not now. Not ever," Dimitri told her sternly, kneeling beside her. She looked up at him, her blue-green eyes flicking violet, red, black, and finally to her father's own grey eyes. "I said leave!!" She growled, a voice deeper than her own. She coward at her own voice. She had never heard anything so terrifying leave her own throat. Apparently Dimitri had the same shock. He blinked, ".....Okay...."

He walked slowly away as she still coward at the ground. He pushed Clarie, Elrohir, and Farah to the house as Rachelle lay there. She trembled as her sobs slowed, soon she could bare no more tears. She slowly stood, turning her back to the house.

The pain gave leeway, it was wearing off. That was a bad sign, if the pain went away he was gone forever. She could not have that, yet by the time she could get to to him it would Inevitable. She stumbled to a path that led away from Dimitri and the safety of his arms. She would go off to find him alone, even if it would kill her.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-07-02 15:47 EST
Dimitri jumped from tree branch to tree branch following Rachelle. He wasnt making a single sound. He had brought supplies incase she needed them. That was all that was on his mind, she thought he didnt understand what she was going through. But he did, He had already lost both of his parents, He wasnt able to say goodbye to either of them.

He watched her as she stopped and looked around. He did the same, he had asked around Azilla for any clues or something, But he came up dry.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-07-04 23:08 EST
Rachelle stumbled around the Azillian Mountains. The pain was gone, bad, but it had cost her energy.

I should have stayed with Dimitri, she thought. But she had to at least find him.

Then she saw Sugar, Caydin's horse.....looming over a man laying on the ground. Is.....Is that his body' she cried to herself. She ran over to him, sobbing.

"Daddy!!" She cried, "Nooo!!" She kneeled beside him, holding on to her father's body. Her hands started to glow. She jumped up, realizing she can never hold on to her father again.

A hand touched her shoulder, It was Dimitri's.

"Here, let me carry him," he said somberly as she jumped back. "What are you doing here?!" She yelled. "I followed you..." He told her. "I Told you not to come," she started to cry, " you....you..." "Here I'll take him," Dimitri picked the body up. "I....I can't touch him.....his body..." a tear rolled down her cheek.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-07-05 00:35 EST
"I will carry him love..." HIs voice was very sad a tear of his own takes the long travel down his cheek. "Im sorry..." He bows his head saying en elven prayer.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-07-05 22:12 EST
Rachelle looked up at Dimtri. "I'm glad you followed me after all..." She said then glancing to the ground. "I wasn't letting you go out here alone." He said looking straight ahead. "I can't believe.....he's....gone." She paused," He's so foolish!!" "No he's not. He didn't think he was going to....pass....so suddenly..." He tried to say without hurting her. "But....But..." She took a long sigh, "Okay."

Dimitri

Date: 2006-07-06 12:22 EST
Dimitri looked at the surroundings it was very quiet. Which was strange in the mountains. He bent over and picked Caydin up gently. "Get his horse please..." he told rachelle. His eyes still scanning his surrounding. His ears open to any sound that rachelle and he didnt make.

As they walked down the mountains a few rocks fell for no reason. Dimitri picked up his pace not wanting to be caught in anything worse.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-07-26 11:54 EST
The walk down the mountain was a slow and silent one. Neither could find the right thing to say to the other. Rachelle heart-broken, and Dimitri heart-broken for her. He knew what it felt like, to lose what her loved so dearly.

Rachelle walked in a sort daze, she didn't look at Dimitri directly. She couldn't, for if she looked at himshe would see her father's body in his arms. So she walked in silence.

They came upon a group of trees that blocked the path from which they stood. The first time Rachelle spoke in almost an hour,"Were they always there?"

Dimitri

Date: 2006-07-26 15:36 EST
"No they werent..." Dimitri looked around nervously. "Something isn't right. stay close." His ears perked at the slightest of sounds, A twig snapping or a bird chirping in the distance. Then he heard it a low growling, the growling seemed to grow louder. "Rachelle get out of here now. Run down that path there!" he pointed to a path leading to Azilla. Dimitri put the body of Caydin down on the ground gently and looked around calmly.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-07-26 22:01 EST
Rachelle went to run then she looked at the "Path". Vines and trees seemed to fill it.

"Well, seems someone else has a different Idea..." She breathed. Dimitri looked at the "path", "Oh Great."

The Growl seemed to get louder. "What is that?" Rachelle asked. "We'll find out soon..." Dimitri said in a whisper as she looked to the trees.

This wasn't going to be good.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-07-27 12:49 EST
Dimitri put the body on the ground and stood ready closing his eyes. He moved his hands as if he was lifting something very heavy. The ground under the trees rose from the ground. The path cleared of vines and other plants. "Go now. Bring the body..." a spear flew forward narrowly missing Dimitri. "Hurry now!"

He began to move his hands around large chunks of earth flew away from them. Another spear flew toward the half-elf. He grunted as he moved the large piece of land over their heads towards the upper mountains. Sweat poured over his face.The ground seem to fall slowly Dimitri walked away from Rachelle holding the land above his head as it continued to sink.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-07-27 16:55 EST
As the spears flew past each of them, Rachelle gengerly picked up the body of her father. Realizing this wasn't a good time to let her emotions overwhelm her, so she tucked them in the back of her mind only thinking about the path in front of her.

Since the body was reasonibly heavier than she was, she had a slight problem. But she had to run, or at least walk swiftly. She couldn't look back to see Dimitri or the fight that was soon to insue.

She just wondered what the hell was going on and who would want anything to do with them.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-07-28 22:25 EST
Dimitri fell to a knee as the large island floating above his head began to fall. His hands raised in the air as he tried with everybit of energy to keep it up. He put his hands together the ground folded like a piece of paper. It continued to fall closer to the ground. The path that Rachelle was on was becoming a tunnel. The ground closed around her and Dimitri. The ground above him fell smashing everything the path stayed up.

As the dust and smoke settled in the canyon. Dimitri burst from the ground as his dragon form. He continued to rise into the air then stopped and looked around. He glided to the ground and looked around for the monsters that had tried to hurt him and Rachelle. He roared loudly shaking the destroyed ground. Nothing else moved, "damn trees..." Even Dimitri didnt know what attacked him. only that they wanted to get rid of him for good. The dragon stood there looking around for anything to challenge.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-07-30 20:24 EST
Rachelle coughed at the dust that had settled from the dirt. She looked down at the face of her fallen father, it was covered in dirt. She licked her thumb and wiped the dust off of him.

The green dragon that was Dimitri looked down at Rachelle in slight shock, this was the first time in almost a week she hadn't cried at the sight of her dead father.

To this Rachelle was giving back to her father, this is what Caydin had did to her every time he saw fit to clean a smuge. It was hard for him to be both a father and a mother, but he did his best.

She looked around and saw Dimitri in the sky. "Please come down here. I don't wanna be alone." She called up.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-08-01 10:57 EST
He flies down and lands lightly by Rachelle laying down. His tail and body made a protective circle around her and her father. his breathing was heavy but he tried to hide it.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-08-01 16:58 EST
"Dimitri, what?s going on?", Rachelle asked in a small whimper as a arrow it the ground beside them. Her eyes widened in fear, "Who are they??"

Dimitri

Date: 2006-08-02 15:46 EST
"I dont know actually." he growled as an arrow hit his hide. "Rachelle you need to get out of here now." He roared into the sky shooting fire into the forest angrily.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-08-03 15:58 EST
Rachelle raised her brow,"You don't know?! That's just great!" She shouted up at him.

She started to run off with the body of her father in arms, until an arrow landed just before her feet. She let out an angry sigh as her eyes flicked voilet.

Rachelle ran down the path with a fury. They -whoever they were- were not going to kill her. They would have to catch her first. ....Ha ha...

Dimitri

Date: 2006-08-06 15:23 EST
He reared his head and sent a blast of fire towards the forest then took to the sky chasing after Rachelle. He lowered to the ground then grabbed her and her father and flew into Azilla safely.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-08-07 17:13 EST
Rachelle was swooped up by Dragon Dimitri. "Hey!!" She shouted in surprize, "Oh.....Thanks for the lift...."

The attack was really getting on her nerves. Who was it!!! God forbid nothing ever happens to her.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-08-08 11:25 EST
He landed in azilla and set Rachelle on the ground. They were safe in the forest of Azilla. He layed down tiredly. He let out a long breath closing his eyes for a few minutes. Then opened one looking at Rachelle. "are you alright love?"

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-08-08 18:24 EST
Rachelle set the body of her father up against a tree with great care. She sighed as she turned away from the body,"Yes, dear. Wha...What are we going to about father?" She was not sad, there was not tears in her eyes, she was just there.

She sat next to Dimitri on the ground, leaning against him.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-08-09 21:45 EST
"I dont know...Im just kind of tired..." he closed his eyes and slept.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-08-13 18:55 EST
Rachelle sighed as Dimitri fell asleep. "Okay, love." she said as she leaned against him for a brief moment. She stood up and looked around. She needed a breather as she walked down a small path amiring the trees and the flowers about. She kneeled beside a small patch of violet flowers. She gazed at them a minute and picked one. When she stood, a hand grabbed her wrist. Thinking it might be Dimitri, she turned around.....only to have a shadowy figure place a hand over her mouth.

Rachelle dropped her flower, her eyes widened in fright. Oh how this day turned out...

The figure dragged her deeper in the forest, she kicking and *trying to* scream the whole way. Rachelle bit it's hand, it releasing her mouth for a moment. In that moment she let out, "Dimitri! Hel—"

She was cut off by a back hand slap across the face. "Damn girl!" the figure growled as Rachelle let out a whimper.

It pulled out a hankerchief and tied it around her head, binding her from speech. She kick and punched at it as hard as she could fight, but with the lack of power from the day's events she wasn't that effective.

It bond her feet and hands with rope, she was rendered helpless. From the growl he barked at her moments earlier, she figured it was a male. He slung her over is broad shoulders to carry her away. Tears streamed out of her Blue-green Eyes down her now pale cheeks.

Curiousity kills the cat, as the saying goes.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-08-14 00:02 EST
Dimitri awoke some time later and saw that Rachelle was gone. Her father's body was still there. Something happened to her. He stood up and looked around angrily. "Rachelle!" Where are you!" His voice carried for miles and miles. He roared loudly into the sky an flew into the air looking at the forest below. "damn cant see anything!" The trees blocked everything except for a few paths.

Dimitri changed back into his Elvish form in the middle of a clearing. His normal calm golden eyes. Were black pools of hatred anger of thousands of years. He looked at the trees and lifted his hands. Hundreds of them lifted into the air. He looked around seeing nothing he put them back down. He walked through the dense forest the ground beneath him rumbled and shook. A large earthquake leveling hills swallowing trees.

Travelled throughout the land of Rhydin. Buildings were destroy in the city. Windows were shattered, Flames erupted from the ground. Everywhere this quake was destroying everything. His magic of the earth was being unleashed when he found who took Rachelle. They had better pray to whoever they pray too. That they didnt harm her in any way shape or form.

large stone golems sprinted clumsily through the forest looking for her. As he traveled hours and hours he finally saw a clearing of people many people. "How strange...These people are in my forest!" He ran into the clearing immediatly crushing two men. "Who knows where Rachelle binks is!?" He holds up a picture. "Where! and who took her!" No one spoke. Dimitri looked at one man a shadow crossed from behind the man.

It turned and entered his body with out notice his ribs burst killing him. "WHO TOOK HER! AND WHERE! I WANT ANSWERS NOW!" Three more men died from the shadows. One small man pointed toward the mountains "H-h-he is up there very far away."

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-08-14 18:25 EST
The place was dark, cold, not to mention it smelled of death and a rotting body.

"You really need to let me go," Rachelle said with her head down, she bound to a wall on chains to her ankles and wrists. Spite in her voice. "Really, girl" How so?" The shadowed man said standing before her. "You'll see. Iza Contra Torturemenda!" She yelled at him.

With a flick of his wrists, her own spell of torture was lashed on Rachelle. "Silly MudBlood mortal witch," he calmly spoke as she screamed in pain as she fell for the most onto her knees.

She screamed and screamed blood curling screams, for anyone on the outside world to hear her in this torture. This being said, her torture was powerful....to mortals. Her nose dripped blood landing in a pool by her feet. "Now be a good Mortal, and nothing more will be done to you....at the moment." The Shadowy figure said with a evil smile, you could tell in his voice. "You'll be sorry you every lay a hand on me! Someone will come for me!!" Rachelle said as she tried to spit in his face. "That was the point you stupid girl. It was not you I was after. It was that someone I know who will come for you. The one who loves you with his life. The one who I will kill for your life to be safe." he paused, then with much anger in his voice," ....Dimitri"

She looked up in confusion,"What' Why Dimitri?" Her eyes widened in horror,"You cannot kill him!" "Oh yes I can. And in great pleasure. Your Darling's head is to be a wonderous prize. I can see it now, his skull would be an amazing lamp. The light pouring out of his eyesockets and teeth." The shadowy figure laughed.

Rachelle's stomach lurched with the thought. "Oh we'll see how much he loves his dear mortal, whose life hangs on a thread before him. I could kill you now," he smiled in his voice,"But that wouldn't be any fun now would it?"

Dimitri

Date: 2006-08-14 23:41 EST
He climbed up the mountain at a unnatural pace. The mountain shook and rumbled. Dimitri's eyes were still black with hatred and rage. He lept up outside a cave. He heard the voice of Rachelle. He turned and yelled into the cave "Rachelle! where are you!?"

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-08-16 18:30 EST
Rachelle's ears twitched hearing Dimitri's voice.

"Dimitri, Go!! It's a Trap!!" She screamed. "Shut up girl!!" The shadowy man slapped her with a loud SMACK. He knew this would attract Dimitri's attention and flare his anger.

Rachelle bit her lip and glared at the shadow. "Dimitri Run! Don't worry about m—-" She tried to strangle out her last words as the man wrapped his hand tightly around her neck. She griggled and gasped for air. The shadow was going to lore Dimitri in one way or another. "Shut up you mortal. Let him come to see your dieing breath," The shadow whispered into her ear as he pressed harder on her throat.

But Rachelle knew he wasn't going to kill her, yet. He needed her.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-08-16 18:49 EST
He yelled loudly and ran into the cave. Behind him the entrance collapsed as he entered. His body was tense, then suddenly the rocks from the walls flew toward his body. They slowly began to cover his arms legs and body. They glowed brightly and turned to molten rock. They held onto his body. The molten glow lit the cave up. As he got close to the figure and Rachelle his entire body was covered in the lava. "Let her go now and I will kill you quickly. If you dont I will kill you slowly." His voice echoed.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-08-17 20:10 EST
The shadow moved his other hand to Rachelle's mouth while tightening his grip on her throat even more so, almost to the point of crushing her windpipe. Rachelle's throat began to burn, even more than the pain of the choking, which she began to feel light headed from with the exteme lack of air. Then she felt a blood loss, like an open cut, coming from no where. But she felt like she was draining into the shadow.

Then he slowly removed his hand from her mouth, then loosened the grip on her throat. Giving her a slight passage of air as she gasped.

"You wouldn't want to hurt me, Dimitri, Would you?" The shadow said in Rachelle's voice, pealing back his hood to show him her face where a man's should.

Rachelle gasped, no sound came out. He had taken her voice, and as his grip still layed on her throat he took more of her blood to make her face on his more life like.

Rachelle turned to Dimitri and mouthed,"It's a trick!" A tear ran down her face. The grip was still strong as the hand turned into Rachelle's slim female hand. A meek smile came from the transformed lips of the shadowy man as Rachelle's own curves formed on the body. They were dealing with a strong shapeshifter.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-08-17 20:56 EST
He came into the view of the so called Rachelle. He growled "You are not Rachelle....I can tell. Its a dragon thing. Let me see your true form now!" His body glowed brighter and brighter by the second. He lunged at the figure.

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-08-19 19:03 EST
Rachelle watched as the two landed on the floor, the shadow her releasing her neck. She could breath from the first time in almost ten minutes.

"Get off me you damned fool!!" The Shadow growled as the fitures of Rachelle's fell off his face, to reveal nothing but blackness.

Rachelle gasped at the sight. He was nothing.....just a shadow...

Dimitri

Date: 2006-08-20 16:42 EST
His molten rock covered body slammed into the shadow. He punched kicked and crushed the shadow. His body moved quicklythe shadows in the cave danced around. Dimitri jumped back looking at the shadow. "What the hell are you!?"

Maiden Rachelle Binks

Date: 2006-08-20 19:00 EST
The shadow laughed malicously,"What are you my dear friend?" The shadow's arm reached out onto the shadows on the wall, it danced over to Dimitri and grabbed him by the throat.

The shadow held on for a mere second and retreated back to himself, as he did his arm copied the molten form.

Through the molten rock, the shadow smiled ripping off his cloak.

Dimitri

Date: 2006-08-20 21:49 EST
He roared loudly turning toward the shadow. "I am a half-elf. Now what the hell are you!?" He circled the shadow slowly waiting for an opening to exploit.

The Shadow form Dimitri grinned,"Yes I know. And I'm prepared to compare that with your own magic. Stupid Elf."

Rachelle looked at them, still shackled. Blood dripped from her nose as she sniffled.

Dimitri

Dimitri dove at the fake one. His molten body burning his opponent. The two rolled around punching and kicking at each other. Suddenly Dimitri jumped backwards and looked at the shadow. "LEAVE HERE NOW!" A loud rumbling fills the cave and the ground beneath Dimitri crumbles and turns to dust. Dimitri plummets into the hole falling for stories after stories. His vision blacked out as he slammed into the ground.

The shadow Dimitri appeared by his side and laughed.

The fake Dimitri laughed menicingally,"You cannot beat me. I am you." The fake Dimitri slowly walked over to Rachelle, he stood beside her and reached out a hand to her face. As he reached the molten rock fell off to uncover a hand, and the hand cupped her chin. "How much do you love her....this stupid mortal?"

Rachelle sniffled, barely breathing. She glanced over at the real Dimitri, then glanced back at te fake. "Enough to spare your life for her's?" the fake turned to Dimitri.

"Very well then," The fake clapped his hands and the shackles turned to rust and fell to dust.

Rachelle's arms were free, she sprinted to Dimitri. The fake didn't stop her.

"What are you willing to do to spare....her?" The fake said with and evil grin knowing Rachelle could do nothing to stop him.

Dimitri

He hugged Rachelle tightly. "go...I will be alright. Go to Azilla." He turned away from Rachelle and walked toward the fake Dimitri.

Rachelle nodded her head with a tear roll down her cheek,"Okay.''

She ran almost out of the exit of the cave, in the shadows. She turned back to give the one last look to the two. She froze in pain, she could not move only stare at them. The fake's voice rang in her head,"You will stay, To watch this man die."



The fake stood infront of Dimitri,"Well, what deal do we have" I let her go," He laced his fingers together in delight,"Hmmmm...?"

Dimitri

The ceiling fell infront of Rachelle sealing him and the shadow inside the cave. "A fair fight." Dimitri stood up the rock that had been around his body fell to the floor. "now lets fight fairly." He stood ready for an attack.

Rachelle blinked then blink as the ceiling came down then the pain was gone. "Thank god..." she thought as she slowly walked away and ran towards Azilla. Then fear struck her heart, "What about Dimitri??"



The fake grinned,"Okay okay. Fair is fair," his eyes narrowed.

Dimitri

The fake Dimitri and real Dimitri fought for hours and hours. The two of them fought with everything they had. The mountain around them shook and rocked. Suddenly a large figue flies through the mountain and lands on the ground. The real Dimitri walked to the fake Dimitri that flew out of the cave. "care to give up! Now!!!"

"Heh, no." The fake grinned," A war is never over."
