Her task was a quiet one, and none to pleasant. Burying yet another, her grandson, Sileth. The dragon couldn't let his body remain floating in the fountain, he was kin, family, her grandchild.

He deserved better. Carrying his still form from the marketplace, she slid the back way, talons digging near another mound underneath the twin trees that protected the lair.

She was silent through it all, no tears threatening to spill, no noise, save the scratching of talons in the soil, and the slight rustle of wings as the breeze blew over them.

She lowered his body into the ground, as carefully as she could, staring at his still form as the fog and mist hung damp in the morning.

It should not have ended like this, her grandson never hurt anyone.

Not that she had known at least.

A bow of her head, and she brushed the soil back over top of him.

A rock was found and then nudged into place, carefully then, she used her talons to mark the rock, simple words of rememberance.

Here lies Sileth, beloved grandson.

Before she turned away, she'd lay a single iceflower upon the grave, along with a new flower for the young one she hardly had known.

He most likely would not be the last she would bury.

Kamiki followed a few paces behind Icer. She had been the one....the one that had discovered her loved one there, face down in the fountian. There was a flower held lightly in one hand, and the note that had been nailed to his back was clenched tightly in her other hand, what it read playing over and over in her mind.

'Death is the only way to control magic'

Was it really' Was it necessary to kill the kind, the innocent, and the magic users" She watched icer as she dug the hole, longing to go and to kiss Sileth once more, before he was buried. But instead she just stood, and watched, trembling silently. The father of her unborn child dead, her future shattered, broken, torn to peices....

Just because he used magic.

Had it been necessary for them to find one of the most kindest, gentlest .....the most crucial person in her life" The one that she had made love with....Had promised her love, devotion and life life to'

Sileth.....The one that had always pefered to wear a Tuxedo, instead of jeans and a t-shirt' The one person that was crazy, yet loving, caring, and kind to every one" He had been known not to fight back, to strive for the peace of Rhy'din. And now....because he had refused to protect himself, he was gone, gone from her life.

And their baby would never know his or her Father.....Thanks to the violence....The hate, anger, and most of all the fear.

Her lip trembled as Icer pushed the last of the dirt into place and had set the rock into place. The mist....dreary mist matched her mood. Perfectly. There was no attention to the droplets that condensed to her hair, And....Was that more condensation rolling down her cheeks, or were they just silent greiving tears for her loved one....Sileth'

"Icer....What am I to do' I feel so alone, and as if I'm breaking in two. What did Sileth do to deserve this" Why did he have to be killed?"

That had been whispered while Icer had placed the Iceflower on his grave.

There was a moment, before she stepped foward with the flower in her hand. She kissed it gently, before she placed it besides Icer's flower with a shaking hand. Her flower was a crimsion red rose. It stood for the blood that had been shed.

And most of all It stood for the love she had for her beloved Sileth...

"I love you..."

You will stay with us, she spoke softly, not turning around yet. Maybe if she didn't, she would wake up, maybe it was all a nightmare.

But it wasn't.

Finally turning to Kamiki she remained as calm and peaceful as before.

He did nothing to deserve this Kamiki, people fear what they do not understand.

I'm afraid all this talk of this supposed proposition just has added fuel to the fire.

Kamiki let her eyes fall on the dragoness's ones. She had lost him, and in her heart, as Icer had she hoped....Prayed that it was all a nightmare, that he wasn't dead, and that any minute now her beloved would come up behind her and whisper tender words in her ear. Tell her to stop crying, and that everything was alright.

Her mind told her other wise.

It told her that he was gone, and that he was never coming back. There was a pause before she let her gaze fall to the freshly dug grave.

"Is this a nightmare" Am i going to wake up any minute now, and have Sileth at my side" Will he be there to kiss away my worries?"

Was whispered softly as her hands went to her swollen belly. The baby that would never meet his or her father. The one that sileth would never get to see, to watch grow. Why was it, that they had to go and find the sweetest guy the could to Kill"

There was a moment before she kneeled beside his grave, and sighed.

She was going to wait for the nightmare to end, to wake up with Sileth's arms around her.

"He can't be dead, atleast not yet, he is too young."
